Dave Scott Millington Biography

Jack and Yola Millington and their children lived luxuriously (with servants and swimming pool) with June’s maternal grandparents Angel Limjoco (born May 31, 1891, in Lian, Batangas; died June 8, 1969) and Felisa Limjoco (née Lejano) (born June 11, 1893, in Lian, Batangas; and died March 13, 1957, in Manila) in various locations in Manila until their emigration to the United States in 1961, including at 56 R. Pascual Street, San Juan (then part of Rizal province); in the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Mandaluyong; near the old American School in Pasay; and on N. Domingo Street, San Juan; and for several months just before they emigrated at the Howell Compound in Quezon City. Additionally, during 1953, Millington and her family lived for a year in Baguio with her grandparents.

By early 1965, Millington and her sister Jean formed The Svelts, an all-female rock band, with June on rhythm guitar, Jean on bass, Kathy Terry on drums, and Cathy Carter on guitar. According to Millington, the band’s name, “came from a word my brother had just learned in school. To be svelte: thin, lithe. It sounded like what we wanted to be, kinda classy!”. The Svelts rehearsed initially in Terry’s living room in Sacramento. Managed and promoted by Richard “Dick” Leventon (born January 4, 1938; died September 30, 1991), The Svelts performed at sock hops, air force bases, and frat parties and gradually built a following. In November 2012, Millington recalled:

However, because of tensions within the band, including frequent disagreements with Barclay over their conflicting musical preferences, and soon after having a nervous breakdown “because of the pressures of touring, recording, coping with success, maintaining success, and maintaining a certain image in the boy-defined rock world”, Millington left Fanny after their fourth album Mother’s Pride was released in February 1973. Millington was replaced as lead guitarist by Patti Quatro (born Patricia Helen Quatrocchio on March 10, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan), sister of Suzi Quatro, and former member of all-female bands The Pleasure Seekers and Cradle in March 1974. Thirty years after her breakdown, Millington summarized: “Instead of carrying it all, I just fell apart.” In 2008, Millington revealed in an interview:

June Elizabeth Millington was born in Manila, the Philippines, on April 14, 1948, the oldest of the seven children of Filipina socialite “Yola” Yolanda Leonor Limjoco Millington (born February 10, 1922, in Lian, Batangas, the Philippines; died December 19, 2002, in California, USA), and former United States Navy Lt. Commander John “Jack” Howard Millington (born September 18, 1915, in Burlington, Vermont; died June 24, 1980, in Bristol, Vermont). He had graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1939, and was a son of Professor Howard G. Millington a noted folklorist. Millington’s parents were married in Manila in May 1947, and divorced in California in March 1970. Millington is the older sister of bassist Jean Y. Millington Adamian (born May 25, 1949, in Manila), Richard J. Millington, Stephen H. Millington, James E. Millington, David S. Millington, and Sylvia F. G. Millington Lyons.

June Millington (born April 14, 1948) is a Filipino American guitarist, songwriter, producer, educator, and actress. She was the co-founder and lead guitarist of the all-female rock band Fanny, which was active from 1970 to 1974. Millington is also “a godmother of women’s music”, and the co-founder and artistic director of the Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) in Goshen, Massachusetts.

After a number of personnel changes, including five different drummers, the Millington sisters were joined in 1968 by lead guitarist Adrienne “Addie” Lee Clement (from the Palo Alto band California Girls), recent graduate of Ellwood P. Cubberley High School; and drummer Alice Monroe de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, in Mason City, Iowa), who had moved to California at age 17, after the divorce of her parents, in search of fame and fortune. In this four-piece configuration, the Svelts gigged around the West in a renovated Greyhound bus, mainly playing cover songs. By early 1967, the Svelts (Millington, Wendy Haas, Brie Berry, and Jean Millington) had a band house in Los Altos, where they lived and rehearsed.

Later, Terry was replaced on drums by Filipino American Brie Berry (born August 9, 1949), who was a student at Folsom High School (class of 1967). Before their senior year, Millington and her sister Jean performed during the summer of 1965 as a duo. In September 1965, they copyrighted their song “Footloose and Fancy-Free”.

Since 1984 Millington has been in a domestic partnership with education activist Ann F. Hackler (born May 2, 1956), who had been the director of the Women’s Center at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts.

In 1986, Millington and her longtime partner, education activist Ann F. Hackler (born May 2, 1956), founded the Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) in Bodega, California. The IMA received its nonprofit status in 1987, and operated its studio and programs from the historic Old Creamery in Bodega until 2001, when a 25-acre permanent property was purchased in Goshen, Massachusetts. The IMA’s nonprofit mission is to support women and girls in music and music-related businesses. Rooted in the legacy of progressive equal rights movements, IMA’s development is guided by the visions, needs, and concerns of women from a diversity of backgrounds. Its programs including a Rock ‘n Roll Camp for Girls, and workshops on vocal and instrumental instruction, album production and recording techniques, lyric and music composition, and booking, promotion, and entertainment law.

Millington and her siblings attended The American School, then located in Donada Street in Pasay in Manila, where she later recalled: “the racism we encountered at the American School was crushing.” By 1960 Millington transferred to the Assumption Convent school located in Makati, Metro Manila. Early in 1961, when Millington was in the seventh grade, she heard a girl play the guitar:

Three weeks later, in May 1961, the Millington family departed from the Philippines for the United States on the SS President Cleveland. While on board ship, Millington switched from playing the ukulele to acoustic guitar. On June 22, 1961, the Millington family arrived in the USA, and then settled at 2571 Portola Way, Sacramento, California.

Later in 1962, Millington and her sister Jean enrolled in the class of 1966 at C. K. McClatchy High School. During 1963, Millington was a member of a YWCA conference group of senior high school students chosen to visit the California State Legislature. While students at McClatchy, the Millington sisters formed a band with Zenaida “Zenny” Prodon (born June 1949) (Class of 1965), an American Field Service exchange student from Meycauayan Institute High School (now Meycauayan College) in Meycauayan, Bulacan, Philippines.

Millington recalled: “We always felt like “other”, never quite fitting in, both in Manila and Sacramento. Being both biracial and bicultural was a really really tough slot in the ’50s into the ’60s, our formative teenage years.” In an attempt to become more popular and make friends, in 1962, Millington and her sister Jean wrote their first song “Angel in White”, followed by “Miss Wallflower ’62”, which they sang with two other girls on their ukuleles at their junior high school variety show. Millington recalled that afterwards, “Kids started coming up to us and telling us they liked it. So it dawned on us this was a way to make friends.” In 1962, Millington and her sister Jean began to sing folk songs together as an acoustic duo at hootenannies and similar events, including the songs of Peter, Paul and Mary and other artists featured on the television program Hootenanny.

Against her father’s wishes (but with her mother’s assistance), in late 1964, Millington switched from acoustic guitar to electric guitar and bass after a girl from another school who played drums [Kathy Terry] asked if Millington and her sister Jean would like to start a band. Millington recalled in 2013:

When we started out in 1965, we ‘played like a girl’. With this album, we’re reclaiming that phrase and making it a statement of power and vision. It’s a gift to still be rockin’ out, while teaching the next generation how to find their own voices through music.

After graduation from high school in 1966, Millington enrolled at the University of California, Davis, where, hoping to become a surgeon, she majored in premedical studies with a minor in music. However, after a year, Millington decided to suspend her studies to focus on her musical career.

While Millington attended classes, Clement and de Buhr touried as the Svelts, but later decided to rename the band Wild Honey, and gigged briefly in the Midwest before returning to California. In 1968, Clement and de Buhr invited Millington and her sister Jean to join Wild Honey. Consequently, Millington decided to terminate her university studies to become a full-time musician. Wild Honey played folk songs, Motown covers, and some of their own songs, and had played with Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Youngbloods, and the Turtles at fairs and private parties, and had auditioned at the Fillmore West with the Doors.

In 1967, Millington enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, where she continued her premed studies for two quarters. However, after playing in clubs on the US West Coast and Nevada, Berry, who had married Michael Brandt, left the band because of pregnancy, and subsequently became the mother of Brandi Angela Brandt (born November 2, 1968, in Santa Clara, California).

Later in 1969, the band was then renamed Fanny to denote a female spirit, although it was a deliberate double entendre. Before recording their first album, In January 1970 keyboardist Nicole “Nickey” Barclay, was added to the Fanny lineup. Millington was the lead guitarist in Fanny with her sister Jean on bass, de Buhr on drums, and Barclay on keyboards. The band lived in a Spanish style house they christened “Fanny Hill” on Marmont Lane overlooking the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. However, in March 1970, Barclay left Fanny to be a member of Joe Cocker’s hastily organized Mad Dogs & Englishmen seven-week tour of the USA, but rejoined Fanny reluctantly after that tour concluded in May 1970. Their first big gig as Fanny was at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium with the Kinks and Procol Harum.

Hoping to secure a recording contract, in April 1969, Wild Honey relocated from Sacramento to Los Angeles to “either sign with a label or go back to school.” However, frustrated by “playing all nasty inappropriate little gigs, suffering all the demeaning little scams,” and by a lack of success or respect in the male-dominated rock scene, Wild Honey decided to disband after one final open mic appearance at Doug Weston’s Troubadour Club in West Hollywood in 1969. They were spotted at this gig by the secretary of producer Richard Perry, who had been searching for an all-female rock band to mentor. Perry convinced Warner Bros. to sign the band to their Reprise Records subsidiary. After Addie Clement left the band, Millington became the lead guitarist, taking a year to learn to play lead guitar. While searching for a fourth member for the band, Wild Honey recorded in various studios with an assortment of girls, including former Svelts drummer Brie Berry Brandt.

Millington has been a Buddhist since the mid-1970s. In November 2012 Millington outlined her spiritual journey:

Since the 1970s, Millington has been highly regarded for her work on behalf of women musicians and the LGBT community.

In this period, Millington and the other members of Fanny worked as session musicians, most notably in June 1971 on Barbra Streisand’s album Barbra Joan Streisand that was produced by Perry. They appeared on national TV programs, including The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, The Midnight Special, Don Kirshner Presents, and the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. Additionally, they appeared on The Kenny Rogers Show in Canada, the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test, and Germany’s Beat-Club.

About 1973, Millington formed a band called Smiles in New York, which also included percussionist Padi Macheta. In 1975, Millington worked in New Orleans as a guest musician on the Allen Toussaint-produced album Ain’t No Stopping Us Now by the all-female jazz fusion band Isis that had been founded by Ginger Bianco and Carol MacDonald, who had both been in pioneer all-female band Goldie & the Gingerbreads.

After she left Fanny in 1973, Millington moved to Peconic, New York, on Long Island, and soon after to her recently purchased farm on Mead Mountain, Woodstock, New York, to focus on her songwriting and spiritual development. Soon after, Millington started a solo career in New York, where she eventually became the lover of musician Jacqueline “Jackie” Robbins (born circa 1950), who played bass guitar, cello, and bass. Millington and Robbins played together, but she also regularly played with other bands such as Randall’s Island and Sha-Na-Na. Millington recalled in November 2012:

Due to the chart success of Fanny’s song “Butter Boy”, which became their biggest single, reaching number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 5, 1975, the Millington sisters put together a new line-up of Fanny for a short tour, which also included former Svelts drummer Brie Howard, keyboardist Wendy Haas (born August 9, 1949) (formerly of pioneer all-female band The Freudian Slips of Atherton, California), and percussionist Padi Macheta. This incarnation of Fanny played none of the older Fanny songs. This group ultimately morphed into a new all-women band called the L.A. All-Stars, which, by 1976, had generated some interest from record labels (including Arista), but with the stipulation that the band tour as Fanny and play only old Fanny songs, which Millington opposed. In 1976, Millington and the members of the L.A. All-Stars provided backing vocals on Lee Garrett’s song “You’re My Everything” that reached number 15 in the UK.

In 1976, Millington was part of Cris Williamson’s national tour, and toured with Williamson over the next three years, and helped produce 7 albums for Williamson. Since then, Millington also produced records for Tret Fure, Meg Christian, Holly Near, Mary Watkins, Bitch and Animal, John Simon, Diane Lincoln, Melanie DeMore, Jamie Anderson, Dorothy Dittrich, Ferron, Ruth Huber, Linq, and Joel Zoss. Additionally, Millington was the audio engineer on records by DeMore, Williamson, Anderson, Dittrich, Sharon Knight, Alice Di Micele, Ferron, Fure, Near, Bitch & Animal, Linq, and Zoss.

In 1977, June and Jean Millington reunited as a duo called Millington to record Ladies on the Stage for United Artists. and Millington was also featured on the 1977 compilation album Lesbian Concentrate: A Lesbianthology of Songs and Poems (Olivia Records LF 915) that was a response to the antigay Save Our Children campaign of Anita Bryant. In 1978, Millington and Robbins collaborated with Williamson on the album Live Dreams, which was a live album of recorded performances, featuring Millington on drums and guitars and Robbins on bass and cello.

By August 1981, Millington had moved to the Bay Area, and had separated from Robbins, with Robbins briefly becoming the partner of Cris Williamson. In 1981 Millington started her own record label, Fabulous Records, a subsidiary of Olivia Records. Through most of the 1980s, Millington toured as a solo artist, promoting her albums released on Fabulous Records: Heartsong (1981), Running (1983), and One World, One Heart (1988). In early 1980, Millington started working on her debut solo album, Heartsong, a soft-rock folk album, and toured to support the album. In 1981 Millington produced activist Holly Near’s “Fire in the Rain” album for Redwood Records.
