This is ground zero, every bit true and can be verified! How one of the foundations of the Rock and Roll movement, had some of its’ beginnings in a little classroom in Enfield, Connecticut! This is my memoir of the fight for” American Music and Culture”, and the first course on the secondary level of Electronic Music in North America, becoming a state and Federal governmental sponsored program! Which was disseminated though out the nation (Project PEP)… Yes, passed over by publishers, who seemed to be looking for some Hollywood movie star, who fell off her horse and learned how to “Re-educate herself” as an educational gem! As apposed to an “In the trenches,” real educational fight and winning the war against all odds! I had this copy written, a few years ago, because I was battling and survived cancer and also covid twice! Recently, “The Connecticut Museum of Art and History” after extensive evaluation, interviews, and inspection of my courses, notes and equipment, accepted all as being a verified real part of history. Looked over by all others… You see when I tried to informed CT. publishers and others about our situation, I wasn’t even granted the courtesy of an answer! That became the inspiration for this manuscript… Did I mention in fighting for my classroom courses, I probably received, awarded or granted more state, national and international awards, than any other educator in my area including “Knighthood”? -Leonard D. DeMaio, KCosa, Ksma
