title: Dropkick

abstract: A dropkick is an attacking maneuver in professional wrestling. It is defined as an attack where the wrestler jumps up and kicks the opponent with the soles of both feet; this sees the wrestler twist as they jump so that when the feet connect with the opponent one foot is raised higher than the other and the wrestler falls back to the mat on their side, or front. This is commonly employed by light and nimble wrestlers who can take advantage of their agility, and is often executed on a charging opponent, while charging at an opponent, or a combination of the two. The most basic form of a dropkick, but potentially the hardest to pull off, is a standing dropkick first used by "Jumping Joe" Savoldi where the wrestler catches a standing or running opponent with a standard dropkick from a standing position. In order to be pulled off effectively, it requires great leg strength in order to gain elevation. Savoldi, a former All-American running back for Knute Rockne at Notre Dame, used his association with football to identify the move as the "drop-kick" and the press also called it a "flying dropkick". The dropkick in its current form was thought to perhaps originated by "Jumping Joe" Savoldi, although wrestler Abe Coleman, known as "Hebrew Hercules" and "Jewish Cougars", can also be seen in early video using a feet-first dive at an opponent's waist. Coleman, listed at 5'2" in height, called the move a "Kangaroo Kick" and claimed the move was inspired by kangaroos he saw on a tour of Australia in 1930. When Savoldi performed the "drop" kick in 1933, the press simply said it was another name for Coleman's existing "kangaroo" kick specialty.

# Dropkick

A **dropkick** is an attacking maneuver in professional wrestling. It is defined as an attack where the wrestler jumps up and kicks the opponent with the soles of both feet; this sees the wrestler twist as they jump so that when the feet connect with the opponent one foot is raised higher than the other (depending on which way they twist) and the wrestler falls back to the mat on their side, or front. This is commonly employed by light and nimble wrestlers who can take advantage of their agility, and is often executed on a charging opponent, while charging at an opponent, or a combination of the two.

## Variations

### Baseball slide

The wrestler runs and slides feet first at the opponent, kicking them with both feet, like a baseball player sliding into a base. It is usually performed by a wrestler in the ring sliding to kick the upper torso or head of a wrestler standing outside and beside the ring. A variation involves sliding to kick the head of an opponent hung upside-down from the turnbuckles.

In defensive terms, a baseball slide can be used to counter an Irish whip, as the whipped wrestler slides before they hit the ropes. It can also be used to slide under an opponent, usually as a technique to avoid an attempted kick.

### Corner dropkick

The wrestler sets up the opponent, usually seated at a corner turnbuckle and hits him with a dropkick. The most common variation of this is a rope-aided version, where the wrestler uses the ring ropes to elevate his body, connecting with a dropkick to the opponent's chest upon landing. Used by Jeff Hardy and Jack Gallagher, the latter calling the move *The Gentleman's Dropkick*.

### Dropsault

Also known as a backflip dropkick or a moonsault dropkick, a dropsault is an attack where the wrestler jumps up and kicks the opponent with both feet and then executes a backflip, landing on the mat chest-first. Sometimes this move can see the wrestler land chest-first on another opponent. Many wrestlers perform this move with great care, as any slight twist in their body can injure them. This move was popularized by Paul London during his tenure in the WWE. This move has also be used to attack both a standing opponent as well as an already supine opponent.

### Front dropkick

Popularized by Jumping Joe Savoldi and Abe Coleman, the front dropkick involves the wrestler jumping kicking forward so that they hit the opponent with the soles of both feet. This enables the wrestler to fall backwards to the mat, landing on their upper back and shoulder area. This is often used to attack lower parts of the opponent than the modern dropkick.

Another variation, known as a shotgun dropkick, sees the wrestler charge from one corner to an opponent standing in the middle of the ring and dropkicking them with such force that it catapults the opponent into the corner. This was popularized in Japan by Takahiro Suwa and Yasushi Kanda before Finn Bálor made it famous in America.

### Missile dropkick

A missile dropkick involves the wrestler jumping off the second or top turnbuckle and performing the dropkick on a standing opponent.

#### Corner-to-corner missile dropkick

In this variant, the attacking wrestler first sets up the opponent such that he is near one corner (or side) of the ring in a seated position, before himself proceeding to the opposite diagonal corner (or side) and ascending to the top or second rope. From this position the wrestler leaps at his opponent and performs a front dropkick. Often a wrestler performing this maneuver will place a chair or other foreign object in front of the opponent's head, wedging the chair between the middle and bottom ropes such that it is relatively steady, and causing it to be driven into the opponent's face or head upon impact. This move was invented by Rob Van Dam as the *Van Terminator*, and later popularized by Shane McMahon as the *Coast to Coast*. Sami Zayn uses a somersault version during the independent circuit as El Generico. The move is also damaging to the person performing the move, as Shane McMahon had hit the back of his head after landing the dropkick upon landing due to the force recoil.

### Running single leg dropkick

In this dropkick an attacking wrestler runs towards an opponent and jumps up sideways striking an opponent's head or chin with the sole of their highest foot, with similar execution as a big boot. A front dropkick variation, in which the attacking wrestler does not twist like in a normal dropkick, is also possible. Drew McIntyre uses this as a finisher and calls it the *Claymore*. Swerve Strickland also uses this as his finisher called the *House Call*.

### Springboard dropkick

In this variation, the wrestler jumps onto the ring ropes from either the ring apron or from inside the ring, jumps towards their opponent, and extends their legs to hit them in the head or chest with the soles of their feet.

### Standing dropkick

In this variation, the wrestler executes a traditional dropkick, but twists his/her body while performing it in a standing position. There is also a slight variation where the attacker holds on to their opponent by the head with one hand while dropkicking them. This variation was innovated by David Von Erich and popularized by Curt Hennig.

# Drive (band)

**Drive** was an American heavy metal band from Houston, Texas, formed by guitarist Rick Chavez. They released two albums, *Characters in Time* (1988) and *Diablero* (1992), while active and an archives release, *iDefi*, dedicated to the memory of Chavez and vocalist David Taylor, in 2017.

## History

Drive formed in Houston, Texas, in the mid-1980s when its members were barely out of high school; but the band soon moved to Los Angeles, which had become the center of the hard rock scene. After winning a KNAC radio contest with their song "I Need The Nights", Drive landed on the 1987 *10 Best From the West* compilation released by Rampage Records, the hard rock division of Rhino Records. Rampage signed the band and, in July 1988, Drive released their debut album, *Characters in Time*. The album received good reviews from the industry's hard rock press, including the coveted 5 “K” rating from *Kerrang!*. The album also received airplay from hard rock stations around the country, including KNAC in Los Angeles.

Drive recorded their sophomore effort, *Diablero*, for Rampage and advance tapes were circulating at the time, but the album's release was put on hold. At the turn of the decade the band left Rampage and signed with Zoo Entertainment, a new BMG label, that would later become connected with the band Tool. In 1992, the band released a re-worked version of *Diablero* to rave reviews from the metal underground.

A shake-up at the label along with the dawn of the metal-killing grunge scene left the album without much of a push, and the band's recording career was put on hold, as members moved back to Texas. There Chavez and Taylor assembled one last Drive line-up, featuring bassist Mike Ribiero and drummer Carlos Cervantes, before putting things on hold. The break became permanent and Drive would not perform as a band again.

On June 25, 2009, while driving along a San Antonio, Texas interstate, lead singer David Taylor lost control of his vehicle due to a tire malfunction and crashed. He was airlifted to an area hospital where he died of his injuries five days later. He was 44 years old.

Eventually, founding member Rick Chavez was approached by German-American re-issue label 20th Century Music about releasing an album of unreleased material. The release, titled *iDefi*, surfaced in late 2017 and included "Inherit the Wind" and "Insanity" from the unreleased Rampage version of *Diablero*, alternate Spanish language versions of "Once Again" ("Otra Vez") and "Pandilla", also originally from *Diablero*, and various demos. Chavez died on February 25, 2017, from internal bleeding, and did not live to see the album's release.

title: The Terrifying Dream

abstract: The Terrifying Dream is the eighth album by English rock group The Scaramanga Six.

text:
# The Terrifying Dream

***The Terrifying Dream*** is the eighth album by English rock group The Scaramanga Six.

## Background

*The Terrifying Dream* is the first in a couple of more thematically conceived Scaramanga Six albums (the second of which is the band's 2017 album *Chronica*). All of the songs are centred on the idea of nightmares. The band have described it as "a musical journey into the unconscious where your thoughts and fears seem to multiply and mutate into a hideous beast intent on waking you with a start. Every song is loosely based around a dream or nightmare endured by the band. Songs about the distortion of reality that are dreams and things that go bump in the night. Ever woken to find yourself transformed into a gigantic beetle? Or a coconut crab?"

The album stems from a particularly productive period for the band. Speaking to *Sea of Tranquillity* in September 2015, Steven Morricone recounted "in spite of all the self-imposed difficulties, we seemed to come up with the most coherent and vast array of songs yet. We had 20 or so songs selected for recording, so when complete there was a delicious dilemma in which to pick for the album - something we've not had before as we usually just bung the lot on. The end result just seemed to flow perfectly - we really do think this is our best yet, no word of a lie. It's taken us in some very tantalising new directions with a new level of darkness, yet seems also to be one of our most "poppy". How the frig did we manage that? Just couldn't wait for people to wrap their ears around it."

In the same interview, Steven expounded on the album's thematic qualities. "Most of our albums have a vaguely concept-y feel to them, but this one seems to have been stitched together tighter than others. The first few songs to emerge seemed to sum up waking with a cold sweat and a pounding heart after some unfathomable jumble of feelings, situations and people from your subconscious touches a genuine nerve in your sleep. It stemmed from there really: a collection of songs inspired by the strange and uncontrollable truths of your dreams. Horrendous and stifling environments and grim caricatures of familiar people mix with real home life ("Citadel"), deep longing and heart-stabbing guilt ("Arabella"), strange third-person detachment and morbid fascination ("The Outsider" and "Staring at the Accident"). The album has a strangely calming epilogue in "Be Nothing" in the realization that none of these human concerns actually matter... It would be trite to say that the idea came to us in a dream, and also complete bollocks. How the hell can we all be dreaming the same thing at the same time unless our brains were locked in uni-thought by some strange force? That normally only happens during live performances. Seriously, it happened organically from a few fronds of commonality that seemed to get thicker and more pervasive - like a bramble through a shrubbery. We merely harvested the berries and made one hell of a crumble."

""The Man Who Couldn't Sing" is about one such nightmare situation whereby the subject of the dream is onstage for the most important public appearance of his career only to be choked to croaky silence by an imaginary hand of terror. Our Paul dreamt this one up, but in reality it never happens of course - none of can seem to stop him singing, no matter how hard we strangle. I think pretty much every musician has this same sort of dream - you are playing in your favourite band and suddenly you don't know any of the material, your equipment is buggered or you just can't seem to physically get on the stage. Your ambitions are realized only to be scuppered. Mine seem to feature a lot of logistical problems and general untidiness onstage - perhaps that says something autobiographical?"

Referring to the album's musical influences, Steven commented "you can probably hear elements of Stranglers, Magazine, Cardiacs, The Four Tops, Burt Bacharach, Black Sabbath, Talking Heads, Julian Cope, John Barry and the like all mushed up into a paste that ultimately still sounds like us. We like the dramatizations and distortions of the human condition that the likes of Scott Walker, Andy Partridge or Sparks bring into song. Writing styles and approaches vary wildly - sometimes it comes easy, other times an idea can be gestating for months or even years."

Released on 8 June 2015, the album was preceded by "The Batface Trilogy" - a set of three related EPs. Each featured one song from the album plus three additional songs further exploring the "nightmare" theme. The three EPs were released at monthly intervals preceding the album release. *The Eye and Skin Machine* was released in March 2015, *Worm Necklace* in April 2015 and *The Sleeper Must Awake* in May 2015.

## Reception

Writing in *The Haverhill Echo*, Stuart McHugh opined "..."A musical journey into the unconscious" might sound like PR blurb, but enter the world of this Sheffield quartet, and their explorations of personally endured dreams – and nightmares – and it all comes true. Their eighth album takes their regular blueprint – impassioned vocal harmonies, big choruses and massive swells of sound – and multiplies them tenfold. Opener "Rules" gets the eleven-tracker off to a furious start, all acidic guitar with keyboard flounces while "Citadel" is pretty much a mini rock opera. Elaborate production sees prog rock tendencies married with a very punk rock aesthetic – think the Sex Pistols crossed with Queen. A mighty release." Martin Haslam of *Louder Than War* called *The Terrifying Dream* "a benchmark album from a band with quite a few of those under their belt... They are a singular band; greater than the sum of their influences."

In a highly positive review in *Echoes and Dust*, Stuart Benjamin enthused "it’s just great from the first to the last note. Whatever you may think about the band, you can’t deny that they can write and arrange great songs. They’re clearly influenced by the classic songwriters/arrangers – the influence of Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Richard and Karen Carpenter, even Todd Rundgren at times. The playing is, as you would expect with such a time served band, exemplary. They leap from Sonic Youth-style surf guitar music to soaring classical rock in very easy bounds."

Continuing, Benjamin adds ‘"..."Out of My Mind" is another standout song, a Phil Spector-esque wall of sound that really gives a chance for the band's close vocal harmonies to shine. It's easy to forget that, amongst the swirling maelstrom of amplified instruments, The Scaramanga Six is choc-a-block full of great singers that can really harmonise together (perhaps that's where I see The Carpenters’ influence). I’ve always loved Paul Morricone's voice, his classic baritone is so well suited to The Six sound, but he's always more than generous in handing out the vocal duties. "The Outsider" allows Julia Arnez's contralto to take the lead on a beautiful mournful song full of soul and desperation. "Arabella" is typically Scaramanga Six – an epic, overblown, and utterly compelling tale of love lost. At the geographical centre of the album is "Citadel", something of a prog-rock workout that talks about the silos or prisons that we allow ourselves to get locked into. For some reason Paul Morricone's vocals come over a bit *Stranded*-era Bryan Ferry for the first half of the track – I'm not sure if it's intentional, but it kind of works and is brilliantly countered by a middle section that rocks hard before a bloody marvellous keyboard led final act... It's perhaps unfashionable in a post-rock, math-rock, ironic-rock world, to be a band that really play well, that really sing well, and just bang out great tunes, but the Scaramanga Six really are the whole package. If you haven't got into them what the fuck have you been doing all this time? Your record collection needs them and so do you."

Saluting the band's knack for "instantly memorable riffs with many-layered lush vocals and a lot of heart", Sean Kitching of *The Quietus* commented that "with the application of a little imagination, each of the eleven tracks becomes a self-contained psychodrama, the best of which are like nightmares fated to recur for at least as long as it takes to shake loose from the grip of their relentless melodies... The Scaramanga Six have always been musical magpies, playfully dropping quotes here and there, but their music is kept from becoming a cold exercise in postmodern appropriation by the level of ambition and enthusiasm they approach it with... Closing track "Be Nothing" acts as a soothing balm, a comedown lullaby with an accepting, yet nihilistic streak at its crooning heart: "We're just particles, nothing more, nothing less." The Scaramanga Six make music to make mind movies to, and long may they continue."

Reviewing the album for *Sea of Tranquillity*, Steven Reid suggested that "using words like power-pop, or pop-rock conjures up very specific images and bands, so let's call The Scaramanga Six something else, shall we? Pop-ant-garde anyone? Or simply quirky rock with hooks, progressive passages and off-the-wall tangents? Hmmm... maybe not quite as catchy. Whatever we call them (actually, bloody good will suffice), *The Terrifying Dream* is a mighty statement and one which is as multifaceted as it is seductive and as unsettling as it is pointedly crackers!... I can think of few outfits this capable of being as "out of the box" as TheScarSix, yet as simple and straightforward in their approach."

Commenting further, Reid said that "..."Staring At The Accident" perfectly illustrates the observational commentary behind TSS's lyrics and yet never does the album feel like a finger-wagging, this-is-how-the-world-should-be lecture, or indeed an English lesson. That it starts with a casual whistle and lackadaisical pace also goes to show how comfortable The Scaramangas are simply letting their ideas play out at their natural, unforced pace. If, however, the mood takes them - and it does - don't be fooled into thinking that this lot can't be forceful agitators; boy can they! Sample the considered build of "Tempest", tumultuously melodic "Blood on My Hands" and the unavoidably memorable "The Man Who Couldn't Sing" (which, ironically you'll be singing for days after) for proof. In fact the latter of those three isn't just The Scaramanga Six near their imperious best, it's simply a cracking corker of chorus-led capers that you'll want to coax from this album again and again. What The Scaramanga Six have conjured here may well be "The Terrifying Dream", but it sure makes for a wonderful reality!"

abstract: "Drowning" is a song by American alternative rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. It was released in November 1995 as the fifth and final single from their debut album Cracked Rear View (1994). The song originally appeared on the group's 1991 cassette EP Time.

# Drowning (Hootie & the Blowfish song)

"**Drowning**" is a song by American alternative rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. It was released in November 1995 as the fifth and final single from their debut album *Cracked Rear View* (1994). The song originally appeared on the group's 1991 cassette EP *Time*.

## Content

The song centers on themes of prejudice and racism, and drew attention to the "rebel" flags displayed at the South Carolina State House at the time, twenty years before that symbol was removed by a vote of the state's legislature. The lyrics reference rap group Public Enemy: "PE's coming is all I gotta say. Wanna turn and run away. They're just telling you how they see it." They also reference singer Nanci Griffith, and her 1989 song "It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go."

## Chart performance

"Drowning" was not as successful as *Cracked Rear View*'s first four singles, and failed to chart anywhere else except the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, where it peaked at number 21 in November 1995.

# Frampton Forgets the Words

***Frampton Forgets the Words*** is the eighteenth studio album by English rock musician Peter Frampton (credited to the Peter Frampton Band). It was released by UMe on 23 April 2021. The album contains instrumental versions of some of Frampton's favourite songs by other artists. As a follow-up to his 2019 album of blues covers, *All Blues*, and farewell tour, and the 2020 publication of his autobiography, *Do You Feel Like I Do?*, the album continues Frampton's burst of work in response to being diagnosed with inclusion body myositis in 2014.

## Background and recording

With *Frampton Forgets the Words*, Peter Frampton revisited the all-instrumental approach of his 2006 album *Fingerprints*. He undertook the project out of a continued will to work, aware of the gradual degenerative effects of inclusion body myositis (IBM) on his muscle capabilities. In the choice of material, the album reflects Frampton's early-career collaborators and friends (David Bowie, George Harrison), his enduring fondness for Motown (Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye), and his appreciation for more recent songs by artists such as Roxy Music, Lenny Kravitz, Alison Krauss and Radiohead. He has said that his guitar-based interpretations are tributes to these artists' recordings, rather than standard cover versions.

Frampton and his band recorded the album in early 2019. It was part of an intensive period of recording that began in October 2018, following their tour with Steve Miller, which also produced *All Blues*, a second blues album, and "half a solo album". He and the band then performed his "Finale" tour of the United States and Canada between May and October 2019. The COVID pandemic forced him to cancel the European leg of the farewell tour, scheduled for May 2020. He said that the pandemic has also interrupted their studio work, and he had then turned his attention to promoting his autobiography.

Recording for *Forgets the Words* took place at Studio Phenix – Frampton's home studio in Nashville, Tennessee – and the album was produced by him and Chuck Ainlay. Frampton played all the lead parts on his signature 1954 Gibson Les Paul guitar. He recalls that recording the tributes to Harrison and Bowie was a sad experience, particularly Bowie's "Loving the Alien", since it was Frampton's spotlight moment on stage when he and Bowie toured together in the 1980s. When announcing the release in January 2021, he described *Forgets the Words* as "a collection of 10 of my favorite pieces of music". He has also said that he chose not to sing the songs because his guitar is his "better voice".

## Music videos

Frampton made music videos for some of the album's tracks. Credited to Phenix Films, the clips were created with Rob Arthur, his keyboardist, who has also directed videos for the Doobie Brothers and Dave Mason.

The video for Frampton's interpretation of Radiohead's "Reckoner" was released on 29 January, coinciding with the announcement of the album. On 26 February, he debuted the video for his cover of Roxy Music's "Avalon". The video for "Loving the Alien" premiered on the Grammy Awards' website on 25 March, coinciding with Frampton's interview for the site. When asked in the interview about his hopes for completing the farewell tour, he said he had to be "realistic" since: "we've got two clocks right now, worldwide ... One is our life-clock and one is the COVID clock ... But I have a third clock, which is my IBM ... Slowly but surely, unfortunately, I'm losing strength in my hands, my arms and my legs."

On 16 April, he released the video for Harrison's song "Isn't It a Pity". It shows Frampton acclimatising to life under lockdown with the cancellation of his 2020 concert itinerary, struggling with boredom at home, and Zooming with family members.

| *The Spill Magazine* | 4/5 |

UMe released *Frampton Forgets the Words* on 23 April 2021. As with *All Blues*, the artist credit is the Peter Frampton Band. The album cover includes a vintage Phenix typewriter and, as a pun on the title of the collection, a blank sheet of paper inside the machine. The album was made available on a single CD, a double LP on standard vinyl, and a double LP on "Coke Bottle Clear Coloured" vinyl. In the US, *Forgets the Words* debuted at number 12 on the *Billboard* 200 chart.

In his review for *American Songwriter*, Hal Horowitz admires the purity of Frampton's guitar playing on the album, saying that this aspect was often lost behind crowd-pleasing "talk-box showboating" in the artist's live performances. He says the album shows Frampton's "superb guitar prowess" in a wide range of stylistic settings, from rock and soul to country, jazz, dream pop and funk. Max Bell of *Classic Rock* describes the guitar arrangements as "richly toned" and "stately", and sufficiently refined that the diverse material can sit together on one collection. He highlights the versions of Wonder's "I Don't Know Why" and Michel Colombier's "Dreamland", and concludes of the album: "Herd immunity for troubling times. The Beckenham boy done good."

Reviewing for *The Spill Magazine*, Bryan Williston says that Frampton provides the exception to the idea that a new release by an "aging rocker" deserves to be ignored. He finds Frampton's nuanced playing an effective substitute for a human voice, adding, "If rock pedigree, amazing chops and awesome tone are your thing, this collection is a must-have." David Gill of *Riff Magazine* considers the slower, emotive adaptations of the Harrison, Bowie and Roxy Music songs to be more effective than the album's heavier rock tracks. He deems *Forgets the Words* a "poignant snapshot" of an artist whose playing abilities are under threat, yet still seeks to create and to connect with his audience in the COVID era.

The ornate and well-preserved Queen Anne Victorian house was built in 1906. Musician and school teacher Dorothy Bembridge lived in the house from 1918 until she was murdered there in 1999.

# Bembridge House

**Bembridge House**, also known as Green-Rankin-Bembridge House, is a registered historic building located across from Drake Park in the Willmore neighborhood of Long Beach, California. The ornate and well-preserved Queen Anne Victorian house was built in 1906. Musician and school teacher Dorothy Bembridge lived in the house from 1918 until she was murdered there in 1999. The house was acquired by Long Beach Heritage in 2000.

## Description

Bembridge House, located at 953 Park Circle Drive, Long Beach, California, is a Queen Anne Victorian house that was built in 1906. It has 18 rooms, and has been preserved with its original high ceilings, woodwork, and many of the original furnishings. It is considered the most ornate Victorian residence in Long Beach with hand-carved woodwork, stained and leaded glass, and a tiled fireplace. In 1981, the *Los Angeles Times* described the house as follows: "It is the city's only perfectly preserved Queen Anne mansion, an intricate arrangement of turrets, pillars, angles, beveled Tiffany glass windows, and white-on-blue scrollwork reminiscent of Wedgwood." Long Beach Heritage calls Bembridge House "the single most important example of this style of architecture remaining in Long Beach today", and notes that it is considered by many to be "the most significant residential historic landmark structure" in Long Beach.

## History

The house was built in 1906 by Stephen and Josephine Green. He was one of the founders of City National Bank, a wealthy businessman who came to Long Beach from Seattle and Los Angeles. Green planted exotic shrubs and flowers around the house and also built an aviary for his collection of foreign birds and a barn where he kept Shetland ponies.

Green was reportedly an unpopular man who had legal disputes with his neighbors. He reportedly suffered "a stroke of apoplexy" and died at the house after an encounter with a neighbor. His funeral was held at the house.

Thomas Rankin purchased the house in 1918 following Green's death. The house remained in the Rankin family for more than 80 years. After the death of Thomas Rankin, the house was inherited by his children, Dorothy Bembridge and Neil Rankin.

Dorothy Bembridge was a musician and a Long Beach school teacher until her retirement in 1968. Bembridge lived in the house starting in 1918 and noted that the interior was never renovated. She believed the curtains and soft floors created "a perfect acoustical environment" for frequent piano concerts held at the home.

In 1969, the house was threatened with demolition when the City of Long Beach sought to expand the adjacent Drake Park. At the time, historical preservationists lobbied to save the structure. Bembridge sought to have it preserved as a music center. In comments to a local newspaper, she said:

> "I pray it can be saved. It's a wonderful old house — as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. There's not a break in the foundation; not a crack in the walls. It's absolutely the only one of its kind in town that has not been altered. It would have special charm as a music center. The tower serves as a natural megaphone, making the acoustics remarkable. Many say they have never heard anything like the sounds that ring out from the Steinway in this old house."

In 1981, the Long Beach Cultural Heritage Committee designated Bembridge House as a Long Beach Historic Landmark. It was among the second group of structures to receive the designation. At the time of the designation, Bembridge told the *Los Angeles Times* that she was "content at last that the home she's lived in since 1918 will be preserved in all its magnificence."

In 1999, Bembridge was strangled at the house at age 89. Her body was discovered in the backyard on November 4, 1999. Daniel William Borunda, a 51-year-old man who had done odd jobs for Bembridge and had been sent to prison for burglarizing her home in 1990, was eventually convicted of Bembridge's murder and sentenced to 60-years-to-life in prison. Borunda had been released from prison in October 1999, a few weeks before the murder. Police and prosecutors asserted that the motive was burglary and revenge.

After Bembridge's death, Long Beach Heritage purchased the house in 2000 for $325,000. The group has restored the house to its original state and it is open for tours.

In 2002, Long Beach Heritage received a $72,000 grant from the J. Paul Getty Trust to develop a master plan to preserve the main house, carriage house and aviary, and to restore landscaping and for seismic strengthening and improved access for the disabled.

Bembridge House, located at 953 Park Circle Drive, Long Beach, California, was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 2005.
