Recently: Cool Hand Luke - Nice soundtrack from Lalo Schifrin with a mixture of Lalo-isms a la Bullitt and some plain jane soundtrack fayre. Pretty good without being sensational Music for Sensuous Lovers by Z - I was determined to get more of Mort Garson's stupid records after hearing Electric Hair Pieces so here's another one. Two sides of stupid noodling with occasional breathy bits and filtered down moogy noises. Wierd (who bought this kind of crap when it came out?) but I like it. Black Mass - Lucifer - Ditto. More scary moogy noises and lots of high speed pieces. Cool but equally stupid. Quincy Jones - Big Band Bossa Nova - A nice proper LP this, with good tracks and the standout title tune (which I love). I've been after this for a while and am very pleased to finally have it. Richard Hayman - Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine - Moog madness on this one. Windmills of your Mind is excellent, the rest is far out and very very over the top. I am very impressed. Age of Electronicus, Moog (Eclectic Electrics of DH), Copper Plated Integrated Cicuit, Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine - Are there any more Command Moog records I should be looking out for? Okko - Blues and Electronics - Moogs and various grooves underneath them. Nothing special on this one IMO. Jon Murtaugh - Blues Current - More Moogs over jazzy grooves with a very serious and sensible attitude, not what's needed on a Moog lp. Mr Mutaugh should have taken a course in chemical over-indulgence to combat his over-intellectual jazz condition. The Nucleus - Galt MacDermot - Interesting slow breaktbeat jazz lp that claims its a soundtrack to some film. Very cool, if a little repetitive with all 10 tracks being worth a listen. And if you've read this far, can anybody recommend Galt MacDermot's Hair Pieces, Ghetto Suite, Isabel's a Jezabel, Salome Bey (Dude), Mystic, Mass in our Time, O Babylon, La Novela, Hair Cuts, Homestead Upright or The Karl Marx Play.

I think Richard Hayman's "Cinemagic Sounds" has a bit of Moog but it's almost imperceptible and certainly nothing like the monster that is GELLM. Interestingly, although all of those LPs were on Command, I don't believe any were actually produced by Enoch Light (he'd moved on to Project 3 by then). The only Moog LPs which he did produce were "Permissive Polyphonics" and "Spaced Out" on Project 3, though "Brass Menagerie 1973" (also on Project 3) rather inexplicably has Dick Hyman's "Explorations for Moog" as the last track!

He was 58. Liverpool police found O'Hara in the Wavertree area of the northern English port city. An inquest will convene Thursday. Formed in 1962, the Fourmost was managed by Brian Epstein, who also managed the Beatles. The group had half a dozen hit singles from 1963-65, including ``Hello Little Girl'' and ``I'm In Love'' by Lennon and McCartney. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 30 (UPI) -- Allan Carr, the flamboyant producer best known for the 1978 movie ``Grease'' and the 1984 Broadway musical ``La Cage aux Folles,'' is dead of cancer. Carr was 62 when he died Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. Raised in Highland Park, Ill., Carr attended Lake Forest College and Northwestern University. He broke into show business while still in his teens, when his parents financed his small investment in the Broadway production of ``Auntie Mame.'' After college, Carr helped create a television show for Playboy Enterprises. He also founded the Civic Theatre in Chicago, presenting such stars as Bette Davis and Eva La Gallienne in regional theater productions. He was an assistant to director Nicholas Ray on the 1961 movie ``King of Kings,'' but soon moved into management, representing such international stars as Peter Sellers, Ann-Margret, Tony Curtis and Melina Mercouri. Carr is credited with discovering actresses Marlo Thomas and Michelle Pfeiffer. He produced ``The First Time,'' starring Jacqueline Bisset, and ``C. C. and Company,'' starring Ann-Margret. He worked with producer Robert Stigwood as a creative marketing consultant for the movie adaptation of the rock opera ``Tommy.'' The collaboration eventually led to ``Grease,'' which established Carr as one of Hollywood's leading producers. In 1984, he won a Tony award for his Broadway production of ``La Cage aux Folles. Carr was well known in Hollywood for his lavish parties and was often photographed lounging about in a colorful caftan, looking like a potentate. Carr had undergone a kidney transplant in December, shortly after his third hip replacement surgery. A publicist for Carr says he was diagnosed with cancer about one month ago. Carr left no survivors and requested that there be no funeral service.

You can't use the word "reasonable", spelled correctly or not, when it comes to records like this. If you refuse to pay 30 bucks for any record, on principle, then don't buy it. But if you want a classic "collectable" record that you may not see again in any kind of shape - without paying a similar amount - then buy it and be glad you have it. Only if it's in good shape though. There's virtually no record that you might not find someday in a thrift store or in a record store where the guy doesn't really know what he has.

He has a deep abiding love of all things tiki, and agreed to do our cover for special labor-of-love rate! You can also see his amazing art at www.mendenhallgallery.com who represents him in Pasadena, CA. To share a few words from his catalog: "Well, I have to admit I don't really paint my paintings; a magic monkey does. He comes to my studio late at night, when it's very quiet. Mysterious things happen late at night when most people are asleep. I help the magic monkey, but he does most of the work. My big job is to get him to show up..... things have to flow from a place that is more subconscious and uninhibited... I believe to get ideas you have to nourish the spirit. I stuff myself full of the things I like: pictures of bugs, paintings by Bougurreau and David, books by PT Barnum, films by Ray Harryhausen, old photos of strange people, children's books about space and science, medical illustrations, music by Sinatra and Debussy, magazines, TV, Jung and Freud, Ren and Stimpy, Joseph Campbell and Nostradamus, Ken and Barbie, alchemy, freemasonary, Buddhism. At night my head is so full of ideas I can't sleep. I mix it all together and create my doctrine of life and the universe.... to me, the world is full of awe and wonder. This is what I put in my paintings." And he mixes it up in the most incredible ways! Other recurring themes are bees, Christina Ricci, Abe Lincoln, meat. If nothing else, buy the catalog of "The Meat Show." He also did a group show in 1996 at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, L.A. called "21st Century Tiki." alohadercci, Fluid Floyd Lou Smith wrote: > > Y'all might recognize Ryden as the cover artist on: > Les Baxter: Exotic Moods of Les Baxter > Jackie Gleason: Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason > Martin Denny: Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) Changing le Topic Date: 01 Jul 1999 11:48:20 -0700 (PDT) --- laura.taylor@us.pwcglobal.com wrote: > >>>Have it, but on vinyl...NEXT?

Nothing that you couldn't find in his own homepage though.... http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Moritz.Reichelt /masterpieces.html For a Californian artist Mark's paintings look kind of "English" to me, they look like Alice from Wonderland has travelled America. Contrary to most Californian artists, especially those who are prominent in JuxtaPoz, he's not so much into cruel, violent, "negative" things, which I sometimes see too much in that corner of the art world. If not handled by a master like Robert Williams such paintings can just be very bad and boring. Not so Mark Ryden: even if some of his motives are absurd, there is always a certain loveliness in them, that will - and I'm sure about this - have a big coming out in the next century. Same thing goes for Shag, btw. Mark doesn't have such a dominant graphic style like Shag has, which is very decorative of course, but sometimes the figures in Shag's pictures are a bit cramped in their individuality by the formal structures. Just a remark, that doesn't detract from my general appreciation for his work. Both artist have an incredible hand for the use of colours. Just my 2 cents about two of the leading Exotica artists today. -Mo # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) 70s soundtracks.

My small collection (CDs >mostly) has some room to grow and this list has not let me down yet. Taxi Driver was one of the last (It's Alive 2 I think was the last) soundtracks that Herrmann worked on. His stuff I like, but the other part of it is taken up by Tom Scott. I have a "thing" about Scott. When they needed Jazz on the soundtrack, it seemed that he and Dave Grusin were the only people they called (Quincy Jones consciously stopped making soundtrack albums). So I have a built-in dislike of his stuff. i am willing to hear the soundtrack again, but... My recommendations: The Tin Drum - Maurice Jarre' - What a soundtrack this is! Beatiful orchestral work and very evocative of the odd tone of the movie. I have it on Celine Records, but it seems to have been reissued, as well it should be. Midnight Cowboy - While I don't need to hear "Everybody's Talkin'" any more (Mom, stop playing it!!!) it does feature John Barry's wonderfully odd "Florida Fantasy" and also "Jungle Gym At the Zoo" by Elephant's Memory. Live and Let Die - Yeah, but this is a McCartney song that I like! Also, it features some great music by George Martin. Super Fly - (Hello, Jane!) - I saw this when it came out, flipped my brother off and that was the end of R-rated movies for me for a while. Unexpected treat is "Junkie Chase", great action music. Curtis Mayfield songs, yes, yes. The first soundtrack album ever bought for me. That guy that I flipped off bought it for me! Enter the Dragon - LaloLaloLalo!

It's very light and humerous, with subtle washes of drum&bass tossed in, and too fast in tempo. I hope the DJs on this list have been giving this play. The majority of the rest of the disc is a bit more abstract and/or dark in tone, but this song always makes me smile and laugh. I wish I knew the original source recordings he sampled.

Date: 02 Jul 1999 09:39:01 -0400 >How's the Hollywood situation? the LP is unknown to me, as the Hudson >Brothers also are. To add to the commentary of Ben Waugh: The Hudson Brothers, Bill, Mark and Brett came from seemingly nowhere with a summer replacement show, which was synopsized by TV Guide as being a combination of "The Marx Brothers and the Beatles". Perhaps it was the British Invasion sound of the Marx Brothers and the slapstick comedy of the Beatles, but it would seem that their managers went into warp speed: - The mid-summer show - The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show (a kiddie show) - Appearances on the Hollywood Squares Apparently, they too had had enough of the squeaky clean image and changed their name to "Hudson". Their songs "Lonely School Year" and "Coochie-Coo" still haunt my memory and I HATE being haunted! I disliked them intensely then, but the standard twenty years has passed and who knows, they might come back in style.

He was 42. Initial reports suggested Brown died of complications caused by respiratory problems, but his cause of death had not yet been confirmed. Brown rose to prominence amid a 1970s wave of reggae singers that included Bob Marley, who introduced reggae music to listeners worldwide. He released a string of hit songs beginning with ``No Man is an Island,'' which he recorded in 1969 at the age of 12. The singer's most fruitful period came later, when he produced hits including ``Westbound Train,'' ``How Could I Leave,'' and ``Ghetto Girl.'' He earned a Grammy nomination in 1995 for his album Light My Fire. From the Jamaica Daily Gleaner... Dennis Brown is dead Cardiac arrest at UHWI DENNIS BROWN, hailed as the "Crown Prince of Reggae" in deference to Bob Marley's kingly rating, died at the University Hospital in Kingston this morning. A spokesman for Brown's camp said the 42-year-old entertainer had been ailing for several weeks, and his condition worsened last night when he was rushed to hospital. *Sylvia Sidney NEW YORK (AP) -- Sylvia Sidney, the waiflike star of the 1930s who specialized in playing victims and got an Oscar nomination in 1973 for a comeback role in ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams,'' died Thursday of throat cancer. She was 88. Miss Sidney made her professional theater debut at 16 and was still acting 70 years later, with a brief appearance in the 1988 hit ``Beetlejuice'' and a small role in ``Mars Attacks'' in 1996. She had recently signed a seven-year contract for a recurring role on the TV series ``Fantasy Island.'' After breaking into films in the late '20s, she became one of Paramount's top actresses. The others, Marlene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert and Carole Lombard among them, were tough and sharp-witted -- the way Miss Sidney was in person. But her film specialty was playing victims: the slum girl murdered by her fiance in ``An American Tragedy,'' the nice girlfriend of racketeer Gary Cooper in ``City Streets,'' the nice girlfriend of Spencer Tracy, falsely accused of murder, in ``Fury.'' Among the directors she worked with were Rouben Mamoulian, in ``City Streets,'' 1931; Josef von Sternberg, in ``An American Tragedy,'' 1931; Alfred Hitchcock in ``Sabotage'' (also called ``A Woman Alone''), 1936; William Wyler, in ``Dead End,'' 1937; and Fritz Lang in ``Fury,'' 1936, ``You Only Live Once,'' 1937, and ``You and Me,'' 1938. But she tired of being typecast as a victim, referring in an interview years later to ``the days when they used to pay me by the teardrop.'' She enjoyed her infrequent comedies, such as ``Merrily We Go to Hell,'' 1932, and ``Thirty-Day Princess,'' 1934. And she turned away from films more and more, returning to the stage in such productions as ``The Gentle People'' in 1939; ``Angel Street'' in 1941; ``The Fourposter'' in 1951; and ``Enter Laughing'' in 1963. ``I didn't leave Hollywood because of anybody but myself,'' she once said. ``I just got disgusted with myself. I didn't know who I was, as an actress or a person.'' Her return to the screen was in the 1973 drama ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams,'' in which she played Joanne Woodward's doomed mother. She was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actress. In 1986, she won a Golden Globe award and was nominated for an Emmy for ``An Early Frost,'' a TV movie in which she played the grandmother of an AIDS patient. In ``Beetlejuice,'' Miss Sidney played a cranky otherworldly adviser to a husband and wife who die and must learn the ways of the spirit world. Miss Sidney, a descendant of Russian Jews, was born Sophia Kosow in New York City on Aug. 8, 1910. She began taking dancing lessons at age 10 and was a teen-ager when she made her professional stage debut in 1926. She married three times, to publisher Bennett Cerf, actor Luther Adler and publicist Carlton Alsop. All three marriages ended in divorce. Jacob Adler, her only child, died in the mid-1980s of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. After he fell ill, Miss Sidney became a volunteer for the National ALS Foundation. Miss Sidney also was an accomplished needlepoint artist and wrote two books on the subject. She has no survivors. A memorial service was scheduled for Aug. 9 at the National Arts Club in New York. NEW YORK, July 2 (UPI) -- Character actress Sylvia Sidney has died of throat cancer at a hospital in New York. She was 88. Among her credits in seven decades of acting were appearances in the 1996 comedy ``Mars Attacks!'' and the new version of ``Fantasy Island'' that ran briefly on ABC-TV last year. Sidney garnered her only Academy Award nomination for her supporting role as Joanne Woodward's mother in the 1973 film ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams.'' The role was considered a comeback for Sidney, who had been absent from the movies since the mid-1950s. Among her more memorable roles was that of Juno, the grumpy social worker from the afterlife in the 1988 film ``Beetlejuice.'' Born Sophia Kosow in the Bronx, N.Y., on Aug. 8, 1910, Sidney gained the surname Sidney when she was adopted by the dental surgeon her mother married after he parents divorced. She made her stage debut at age 16 and moved into movies in the early 1930s, acting in films including ``An American Tragedy,'' ``Ladies of the Big House,'' and ``The Miracle Man.'' She has no survivors. A memorial service is scheduled for Aug. 9 at the National Arts Club in New York. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Film director Edward Dmytryk, a member of the Hollywood Ten who served prison time during the Red Scare-era witch hunts of the 1940s and was blacklisted until named names of his communist comrades, died Thursday night. He was 90. Dmytryk, who worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, had been ill for a year and succumbed to heart and kidney failure, said his wife, Jean Porter. He died in his Encino home. Dmytryk was a rising young director at RKO Pictures in 1945 when he joined the Communist Party. He said he stayed ``only a few months,'' but two years later the House Committee on Un-American Activities called him and nine other Hollywood figures to a Washington hearing. All refused to answer questions about party membership. They were convicted of contempt and sentenced to a year in federal prison. When Dmytryk finished his sentence, he admitted that he had been a party member. He hadn't done it before, he remarked in 1988, ``because they would call me a coward; they'd say I was doing it simply to stay out of jail.'' In 1951, Dmytryk returned to the House committee and identified 26 people as communists. ``I didn't feel guilty about talking,'' he said later. ``I knew (the accused) would call me a rat. But I did what I wanted to do. I have never regretted.'' Dmytryk directed ``The Caine Mutiny,'' ``Raintree County,'' ``The Young Lions,'' ``The Carpetbaggers'' and other films starring some of Hollywood's biggest names. Like Elia Kazan, the recent recipient of a controversial honorary Oscar, Dmytryk was never forgiven for naming names by others who had been blacklisted. In 1988, the Barcelona Film Festival organized a symposium about Hollywood's blacklist, inviting Dmytryk and three others who had been blacklisted but never recanted. The trio would not share the same platform with Dmytryk and he was forced to sit in the audience. His onetime comrades excoriated him as ``scum,'' ``Judas'' and ``informer.'' Dmytryk replied: ``I didn't give any names that weren't known by the FBI.'' After the event, Dmytryk said: ``When I die, I know the obits will first read `one of Hollywood's Unfriendly 10,' not `director of `The Caine Mutiny,' `The Young Lions,' `Raintree County' and other films.''' Dmytryk was born Sept. 4, 1908, of Ukrainian immigrant parents. After his mother died, his father remarried and moved to San Francisco, where the neglected and abused boy sold newspapers to help support the family. At 15, he found work as a messenger at Paramount Studios in Hollywood and rose through the ranks to become a film editor. He began directing low-budget movies at neighboring RKO and drew notice for ``Murder My Sweet,'' which started the hardboiled private eye cycle and rescued Dick Powell from musicals, and ``Crossfire,'' an indictment of anti-Semitism long a taboo subject in films. After leaving prison, Dmytryk directed three films in England, then returned to Washington to recant and name names. Only then did he find work in Hollywood. After making a string of well-crafted, low-budget films for Stanley Kramer, the producer assigned him to the 1954 World War II drama, ``The Caine Mutiny.'' The film's success made Dmytryk an in-demand director. Small, tough and muscular, the director became noted for being able to deal with stars in dramas, Westerns or war movies. Among his films were ``The Broken Lance'' (Spencer Tracy), ``Soldier of Fortune'' (Clark Gable), ``The Left Hand of God'' (Humphrey Bogart, Gene Tierney), ``Raintree County'' (Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift) and ``The Young Lions'' (Marlon Brando, Clift, Dean Martin). Others included ``A Walk on the Wild Side'' (Jane Fonda, Barbara Stanwyck), ``The Carpetbaggers'' (George Peppard, Alan Ladd), ``Where Love Has Gone'' (Bette Davis, Susan Hayward), ``Mirage'' (Gregory Peck) and ``Anzio'' (Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan). Dmytryk later taught film at the University of Southern California, wrote manuals on filmmaking and two autobiographies, ``It's a Hell of a Life but Not a Bad Living'' and ``Odd Man Out, A Memoir of the Hollywood Ten.'' In addition to his wife, survivors include a son by a first marriage, Michael, two daughters, Rebecca and Victoria, and three grandchildren. Funeral arrangements were pending. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: (exotica) Nothing special Date: 02 Jul 1999 19:15:25 +0200 As I said earlier, Gothenbourg is now my new hometown.

The panel deliberated for a half hour Thursday before finding Theodore Nobbe innocent of felony animal cruelty. Nobbe had been accused of dunking Woody -- a friend's parrot -- in a drink, possibly a margarita, at a Clearwater restaurant last August. The bird was not injured. Animal rights activists had pressured prosecutors to take the case to trial, saying alcohol is dangerous to a bird and a parrot dunker deserves what he gets. Witnesses testified they did see Nobbe dance with the parrot, or more precisely, with the parrot on his shoulder. But Nobbe's public defender told the court parrot dancing is not a crime. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Ray Stevens, who wrote ``The Streak'' and ``Everything Is Beautiful,'' says he's cancer-free after prostate surgery. The 60-year-old singer had surgery June 15 at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in Baltimore to remove his prostate. ``I'm very fortunate to have been given a clean bill of health following my surgery,'' he said in a statement today. ``The cancer was confined to the prostate.''

(AP) -- The voice of ``Sleeping Beauty'' is crying foul over a property dispute. Diva Mary Costa and others have filed a lawsuit over the hassle with mobile home magnate Jim Clayton. They accuse him of cajoling residents of the LaRue Condominiums into giving him access to his new home on Fort Loudoun Lake. Costa claims the easement affects her driveway. Clayton's behavior bordered on ``robber baronism,'' Costa's lawyer, Robert Crossley, said in a letter. ``She will not let you get away with it without a fight,'' he wrote of his client, a veteran of the Metropolitan and San Francisco operas who supplied the singing voice for the 1959 Disney movie. Clayton said most of his neighbors have been very accommodating. ``It's just completely without understanding that Mary Costa could not take the same position,'' Clayton said this week. A Knox County judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing Clayton from using the driveway until he can study the case.

(AP) -- Forrest Mars Sr., who created M&Ms candies and built one of the biggest fortunes in America as head of the Mars candy empire, has died. He was 95. The reclusive billionaire, one of the richest men in America, died of natural causes Thursday night in Miami, said Sharon Heffelfinger, a spokeswoman for McLean-based Mars Inc. She said no further information would be released. The candy giant began in 1911 with Frank C. Mars' small business in Tacoma, Wash. In 1940, his son, Forrest, devised a candy modeled after a British confection: a circle of chocolate covered with a crunchy coating. M&Ms -- promoted, as every Baby Boomer knows, as the candy that melts in your mouth, not in your hand -- were created as much out of meteorological necessity as anything. ``In those days, the stores didn't have air conditioning, the cars didn't have air conditioning, the homes didn't have air conditioning,'' then-Mars spokesman Hans Fiuczynski said as the candy turned 50 in 1990. The candy, originally sold in paper tubes, came in brown, yellow, orange, red, green and violet, later replaced by tan. Beginning in 1950, the candies were stamped with the trademark ``M'' to assure customers they were getting the real thing. Peanut M&Ms came out in 1954. The company now has 30,000 employees. Besides M&Ms, its candy brands include Skittles, Milky Way, Dove, Snickers and Three Musketeers. Other brands owned by the Mars companies include Uncle Ben's Rice, the Kal Kan and Pedigree pet food labels, and Combos, Kudos and Twix snack foods. Mars' sons, Forrest Jr. and John, are now co-presidents of the privately held company. In its rankings of richest Americans last fall, Forbes listed Forrest Jr. as 29th richest, Forrest Sr. as 30th richest, John as 31st richest and Jacqueline Mars Vogel, John and Forrest Jr.'s sister, at 33rd. The family matriarch, Forrest Sr.'s wife Audrey, died in 1989. The family became known for its reticence as well as its riches. ``Mars's assets are often underestimated because the company is as loose with information as its McLean, Va., neighbor, the CIA,'' Fortune magazine said in 1988 when it dubbed the family the richest in America at that time. M&M's were packed in World War II GI rations, served at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and launched with 31 shuttle flights as of 1990. The rock band Van Halen's contract called for a backstage stash of three pounds of M&M's -- with all the brown and tan ones removed. The company had discontinued red M&Ms in 1976 because of the cancer scare over Red Dye No. 2, although the candy never contained the substance. Red M&M's reappeared in 1987. NEW YORK (AP) -- Best-selling author Mario Puzo, creator of the fictional Corleone mob family and winner of two Oscars for his screen adaptations of his book ``The Godfather,'' died today. He was 78. Puzo died, apparently of heart failure, at his home in Bay Shore on Long Island, said Neil Olson, his literary agent. Puzo had just finished work on his latest book, ``Omerta.'' The book is due out in July 2000. Puzo, who wrote seven other novels in addition to ``The Godfather,'' was born in New York, the son of illiterate Italian immigrants. After serving in World War II, he began his writing career -- starting out doing pulp stories for men's magazines. But his literary ambitions were much higher, and he published his first novel, ``The Dark Arena,'' in 1955. Puzo's next book was an autobiographical piece about the Italian immigrant experience. ``The Fortunate Pilgrim,'' was hailed by The New York Times as ``a small classic.'' But it sold fewer than 5,000 copies and Puzo, seeking the fame and fortune he felt he deserved as a writer, set out to write a best seller. He succeeded. ``The Godfather,'' which came out in 1969, covered a different immigrant experience: It focused on the Corleone family, Italians who came to the United States and plunged into the world of organized crime. The book sold more than 21 million copies worldwide, and spawned movies that became American cinematic classics. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro brought Puzo's characters to the screen; Puzo co-wrote the screenplays with director Francis Ford Coppola. ``The Godfather'' (1972) and ``The Godfather Part II'' (1974) both won best-picture Oscars as well as the Oscars for best script. Brando was awarded best actor Oscar for Part I and De Niro got best suporting actor for Part II. Part III (1990) was less successful but did pick up some Oscar nominations, including best picture. ``His talent was obvious,'' said James Caan, who portrayed the ill-fated Sonny Corleone in ``The Godfather.'' ``I had the good fortune of knowing him and working with him on 'The Godfather' and the misfortune of not knowing him better. He was a real nice man who will be deeply missed.'' After the success of ``The Godfather,'' Puzo was often asked if he had ties to organized crime -- and his answer was always no. ``It might have been preferable to be in the Mafia,'' he said in 1996. ``I'm glad I'm a writer, but it's hard work. Nobody likes to work hard.'' He co-wrote several other screenplays, including two Superman movies, as well as ``The Cotton Club'' and ``Christopher Columbus.'' In 1984, he brought out another best-seller, ``The Sicilian.'' Puzo's other books included ``Fool's Diet,'' a 1978 effort on casinos; 1992's ``The Fourth K,'' a futuristic political thriller; and ``The Last Don'' in 1996, a return to his favorite topic, the Mafia. ``The Last Don'' became another runaway best seller and was the basis for a highly rated television miniseries. In an 1996 Associated Press interview, he acknowledged his portrayals, with their emphasis on honor and family, made the Mafia a more romantic place than the thuggery or buffoonery of the real thing. ``They're not my Mafia,'' he said of the real-life mobsters. ``My Mafia is a very romanticized myth.'' He insisted that his research was done in libraries, not amid gangsters. ``Where would I have time to be in the Mafia?'' he asked. ``I starved before the success of `The Godfather.' If I was in the Mafia I would have made enough money so I wouldn't have to write.'' And anyway, he asked, ``Just because a guy's a murderer, he can't have endearing traits?'' Puzo spent the last three years working on ``Omerta,'' a book about a mob family on the brink of legitimacy. ``Omerta'' is the mob code of silence. ``It's vintage Puzo,'' said his editor, Jonathan Karp. ``He was a virtuoso storyteller right up to the end.'' When not writing, Puzo lived what he liked to call the ``bourgeois life,'' splitting time between his homes in Los Angeles and Long Island. He loved tennis, sports and gambling; Puzo loved to visit Las Vegas. Puzo is survived by his children, Anthony, Dorothy, Eugene, Virginia and Joseph; a sister, Evelyn Murphy, a brother, Anthony Cleri; his companion of 20 years, Carol Gino; and nine grandchildren. His wife, Erika, died in 1978. A private family service is planned for Monday, Olson said. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: SV: (exotica) Drasnin in Concert??

Third set was the MCE along with Drasnin (as musician) performing accurate and slammin' renditions of exotica standards which included Mambo #8, One Mint Julip, Peter Gunn, Soul Bossa Nova (Quincy sent the original score!), Tiki (from "Exotica Suite" - Denny sent the score!), an AMAZING "Touch of Evil" medley and two Yma Sumac songs from her "Mambo" lp (Taka Rari and another which slips my mind) performed with a GREAT operatic soloist that out-Yma'd Yma (according to Skip, who has toured her).

I wonder if anyone else here who has album covers or other scanned art on their sites has been able to get permission to use this copyrighted material. The gist of it is...no matter what the notification is, anything you didn't create you don't have rights to reproduce for public consumption. If RCA, Liberty or Capitol (among others) thought it was unwise to let websites show off their property, I would think a lot of us would be in BIG trouble. I could see the reasoning, too: they want to handle the funneling of interest in their products themselves. Still, I can imagine at least one person on this list might have actually got permission. If so, who did you go to? I have resigned myself to the task of pulling all album art off my site until I get permission. The ones I am really concerned with are the ones published by lesser known companies which probably do not exist anymore. There is no one to even write...yet to use the property now would technically be wrong (life of the creator plus 70 years I think). I will just have to wait until after 2030, I suppose... longer if they are still living! Actually, this is all for the best...I can create my own art now. However, it is sad I won't be able to reproduce album art whenever it strikes my fancy.

It also had a leaflet inside with a further 101 Dot albums (circa 1965) illustrated. The label certainly had a big foot in the schmaltz door - Lawrence Welk, The Lennon Sisters, Pat Boone, Mills Bros, umpteen Billy Vaughn albums. There are also offerings from a very suspect-looking banjo player Eddie Peabody, Welk's accordianist Myron Floren and ragtime pianist Johnny Maddox. Exotica on Dot?

Frighteningly, Hughie made at least one album, which I think was a Sing-Along Party at Butlin's, accompanied by the versatile (or at least all-over-the-oche-esque) Mr. Geoff Love. Record Collector recently had a feature on celebrity albums, and there were some crackers in there. But there's plenty more, I'm sure. For example, the truly appalling album by DEREK BATEY (host of "Mr. and Mrs."), the stomach-churning Brut-ality of "Henry Cooper's Knockout Party", and the arse-kicking coolness of Mike "Frank Butcher" Read's "Ugly Duckling" album, which has a FANTASTIC version of "Purple People Eater" on it... -- Pete (with eyes peeled for that Larry Grayson album). # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: Re: SV: (exotica) SCORE of the DAY!

Young guy -- shares a house with two roommates. Carl had said his late dad was an audiophile: Stereo Review subscription, thousands of classical records stored in plastic protective sleeves, the best equipment he could buy on a Methodist minister's pay, a shelf of record guides and books on recording techniques. Of course Carl made a beeline to the 50 or so records stacked upright near our turntable. He picked up a Breakfast at Tiffany's OST. "I love Mancini!" he said, studying the jacket. Then turning the record over in his hands, Carl sniffed it. "Oh vinyl. Nothing smells like vinyl. I grew up with it. It smells like my dad. I can't wait to have my own house so I can start buying vinyl again."

We left on Canada's birthday and were planning to come back on America's. I wish there was some irony there but in comparison to the others I experienced that weekend, that one fades to a footnote. First thing we got there, my friend's wife asked what we were doing there and why my buddy and I were apparently staying with them for three nights. It had all been cleared with her of course. This is not a guy who makes a move without her approval. But still, the ritual had to be observed. Luckily I knew there was no problem. My friend had told me many times "You're the only friend of mine that my wife has ever approved of". I went out on the porch for a smoke. My friend - let's call him Herb - followed me out with a pile of records for my approval. Sure enough, there were the records he'd told me about the last time we'd talked. Two copies of Esquivel's "Infinity in Sound", one pretty beat up but still.. I had this record myself but I was also there shopping for a friend and his used record store. "We could probably get ten bucks even for the beat up one", I thought to myself. Esquivel's "Four Corners". That was for me. Sid Bass "With Bells On". Had it but still, a cool record. An Art Van Damme ten inch. Cool cover. Sandy Nelson "Teenage House Party". Great cover photo. T-Bones "Boss Drag at the Beach". I love the T-Bones but there was a guy came to the store who paid big money for drag-racing covers. "Al Hirt meets The Green Hornet". That one's for me! I'm not a big Al Hirt fan but there the two of them are, on the cover and I don't have any versions of this theme. Let alone the theme for "Run Buddy Run". So far so good. Then we go inside and I start to look at his records. That's when the ironies start to pile up. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in Cleveland, part two Date: 05 Jul 1999 12:12:12 -0400 My friend Herb is a big big jazz fanatic. He reviews for various papers and has been doing that for years. Used to write for the Village Voice and Downbeat, still does maybe. What he likes to do is make discoveries and connections no one else has made before. Find an old "hot jazz" record where a guy is playing bebop before bebop supposedly began. And he's done it. And been acknowledged for it. For about ten years or so, before I rediscovered lounge, I was a bit of a jazz snob and considered all this stuff - which is now pretty well the centre of my taste - as at best, guilty pleasures and at worst, pure dreck. So I walk into Herb's house and we go check out the basement. There's records and books everywhere, in piles, on shelves, threatening to fall over at any moment and in no discernible order. As I try to get my bearings, I spy a very cool cover. "Music for a Jet Age" or something like that. With a cheesecake babe in an astronaut's outfit. I examine it excitedly and it's not only spacey and cheesy looking. It's Dave Pike! I turn it over looking to see if anyone's playing electric sitar. No. But Herbie Hancock is playing organ. I show it to Herb. "I'll take this one". He shakes his head and takes it back from me. "That's a good jazz record", he informs me. We go back upstairs. First thing I find up there is a pile of Marty Gold records. A few of the regular ones. I'll take them for the store but it's no big deal. Then I see this one I've never seen before "Marty Gold Swings Out West". Looks to be covering country and western tunes but still, I can imagine it's a good one. I put it on the little pile I've started to make. We're not going to go through his house for a couple of days yet but after seeing the basement, I decide that it's good to make a start on the process. Herb picks up the record and examines it. "Don't be so sure about this one". "What?" I exclaim. "It's Marty Gold". And Herb replies with the words that will come to define this weekend. "There might be some jazz solos on there". I shake my head in disgust, figuring I'll get it from him in the end and move on. Then I spy it. A record I've been looking for. Last time I asked a dealer at the record show about it, he told me I was the tenth guy to ask him that day and if he ever had it again, it would be forty five bucks. "The Party". The Mancini soundtrack. I would never pay forty five for it. Or twenty five. Probably not even fifteen. But here it was and the records were a buck at most. I try to contain my delight as I examine it. Herb sees me and shakes his head again. What??? "That's a jazz record", he says. "It's just Mancini", I protest. "A soundtrack. If that's not lounge, I don't know what is". He turns it over. "Look who's on it. Plas Johnson, Jack Sheldon, Ray Brown. It's a jazz record". "They're on half the record made in Los Angeles at the time", I tell him. "So?", he replies. "You're the guy who thinks Dave Brubeck barely qualifies as jazz." "Barely yeah, but it's still jazz". "If you're going to call it jazz, everytime a sometime jazz musician shows up, we're going to have a real hard time finding lounge records". "Maybe I have a spare", is the only consolation he can give me. As it turned out, he did. But that was not typical of the weekend's experience. possibly to be continued... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in Cleveland :intro Date: 05 Jul 1999 12:12:06 -0400 My friend in Cleveland had been phoning me for at least a year and telling me that Cleveland was rife with lounge. The records were cheap and nobody was buying them. He himself had started to pick them up for me after I had amazed him with the knowledge that these records now had value to some people. His basement was now full of them. He read off a couple of names, things that he'd got when the records were three dollars a bag. Esquivel was one of the names. If I came down, he'd take me to all the stores and sell me all these records languishing in his basement. If I gave him a quarter each for these records, I'd be doing him a favor. "Doing him a favor" echoed in my head as the weekend wore on.

Byron, I'm not sure what scans you had on your site--but I think you may be being overcautious about this. It's true that under the "new" US copyright law (post-1978), protection is automatic and lasts a gazillion years. Same thing for all you people out there in Berne Convention countries. But in the US, a lot of album art would be covered under the "old" laws. some links: http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/ http://www.benedict.com/ http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ15a.pdf [27K] First of all, I think before 1978 the cover art would only be protected if the jacket actually had a copyright notice printed on it ("Copyright 1957 RCA," or whatever). A quick check of my records only shows the notice on about half of them. The next thing is that for works published before 1964, the record label would have needed to re-register with the copyright office, to renew protection beyond the original term of 28 years. If not actively renewed, all pre-1964 works would have entered public domain by 1992. For labels that don't even exist any more, I would be willing to gamble that no one ever bothered to do this. (Renewal is automatic for stuff after '64.) As far as "being in big trouble," it seems unlikely to me that anyone would START by sueing you for damages--even if they noticed or cared. More likely their lawyers would send you a cease-and-desist letter first. Also it would be very hard to prove actual damages, since in general we are talking about records where there isn't a reissue available which would be making the copyright-holders any money. Now in a more general sense, there is a question of whether traditional copyright laws will be able to survive in the digital age--where essentially everyone becomes a lawbreaker. . . But even on the more narrow question, I think posting some cover scans is probably legal for many pre-1964 records. yours legalistically, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) weekend in Cleveland, part two Date: 05 Jul 1999 12:12:28 -0400 Aargh, Nat . . .

Sheesh, who's next? Don't care for his post 80s loversrock (always been more partial to Gregory Isaacs) at all but his seventies output is high quality throughout. Of the handfull of albums I own by him, his debut "No Man is an Island" is a typical Studio One album of that period, lightweight in songs but rich in singing. It boasts a cover of Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head inicidentally. "Super Reggae & Soul Hits" on Trojan from a few years later is excellent, a nice version of Wichita Lineman amongst others. "Cassandra", cut for producer Niney, must be my favorite song of him., it just has an infective bouncy rhythm.

After a suitably Les Baxter-ish opening theme, the camera would dissolve to a cheesy set crowded with huge tikis, potted palms, African spears and other exotic paraphernalia. There, in an enormous wicker chair, sat one Colonel Hawk -- one of the TV station announcers decked out in safari jacket, bush hat, fake goatee and eye patch. In a phony British accent, the Colonel introduced daily chapters from old Republic serials like "Radar Men from the Men", "Panther Girl of the Congo" and "Zombies of the Stratosphere". Between chapters the Colonel related important bits of jungle lore -- like how to save yourself if you're ever trapped in quicksand. For years I roamed the neighborhood hoping to fall into quicksand just so I could put the Colonel's advice to good use! Oh, well. A bit off-topic perhaps, but I never hear "Quiet Village" without thinking of the old Colonel.

We were going to hit every branch of this one Cleveland store. "CD exchange" or something like that with eight or so branches. Actually it was two different stores. The store had once been owned by two brothers but they fell out and took a few branches each. Not that you could tell. They all looked the same, all had the same Dan Fogelberg records. But each branch had slightly different pricing policies. Sometimes they were all a quarter. One guy looked at the Temptations record and demanded fifty cents but let a Curtis Mayfield and a McCoy Tyner go for a quarter. And one guy just let me have the pile of ten records for free, as if he couldn't even bother with the vinyl. It was hot as hell and up until the end, I looked through a lot of crappy records for little payoff. And as I drove, I kept slipping in the snide comments, trying to soften up Herb for the next day at his house. There were a couple more Goodwills, with one memorable one that priced the records individually, asking three and four dollars for records that someone for some reason thought valuable. It's amazing how much outrage you can summon up when someone asks for three dollars for a record. Especially at a Goodwill store. Especially for a record you've seen before. At the last CD exchange branch, I did score a bit. Thirty six records for a quarter each. Herb had promised me that this was always the best branch and he was right. I could have saved a lot of sweat and just gone there but then I wouldn't have driven through "the belly of the beast" as Herb called it, and seen all those rotting steel mills. Which I like too for some reason. That night I slept a bit better. I also had a caesar salad with oil and vinegar dressing. I thought it was a Cleveland thing but the waitress told me that other places in Cleveland made a caesar with actual caesar dressing. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in cleveland part four Date: 06 Jul 1999 02:48:49 -0400 That first night, trying to sleep in Herb's house, was rather harrowing. First of all, I hate futons. I guess it's possible if you're the first person ever to sleep on a futon that it might mold itself to your body. But if you're the second person, you're shit out of luck. Second of all, I had to pee a lot. But I didn't want to deal with the one washroom upstairs. For lots of reasons. All leading somehow back to Herb's wife. So every half hour I had to go outside. Where I'd have a smoke for the hell of it. And finally, this "room" I was staying in, like all rooms in the house, was full of great records. Great records I wouldn't get to take. Like this other Dave Pike record with some kind of title like "Dave visits the third dimension". A record made for me. A record made to taunt me. I didn't so much fall asleep as eventually pass out. Two hours later it was light and finding Herb outside on the porch, I began my campaign to free up as many of these so-called "jazz records" as possible. But on this day, we were going to hit the record stores of Cleveland. We were also going to try and squeeze in a tour of "urban decay highlights". The guy I came down with was a particular fan of abandoned steel mills and other signs of industrial waste. Cleveland was the perfect place for him. First place we went was some kind of Sally Ann store. Herb warned me there wasn't much there and the records were a bit expensive at a buck. But he had done a little reconnaisance and put away a few for me. I picked up the records Herb had cached away. I remember a Jack Jones but not much else. I also picked up that album of Xavier Cugat Rhumba 78's that I'd once seen at a friend's house and always wanted, mostly for the cover. Four 78's, four bucks. Next up was a Goodwill store. It was supposed to have thousands of records but they'd just changed their policy and only had about a hundred. I only found one that I wanted. But what a one. George Cates "Polynesian Percussion". Never seen it before, only heard about it on this list. And having returned home and played side one, I have to agree with the assessment. A true exotica classic. (Is anybody still reading this? What do I care?

Herb made a face and groaned. "I can't take you there". "What do you mean? You've been telling me about that place for four years". "I'll tell you how to get there. But I can't go with you and wait while you go through all those records". Herb had told me about this place since I first met him. An old guy. An old store. Records piled everywhere. A buck each. The guy has no idea what he has. You just have to look. And the name of the place: "Records". "You start going through that guy's place", Herb complained, "and you'll never get back here". I promised to be back by the afternoon and not to spend too much money. I'd have plenty left to buy Herb's records, I assured him. It was so hot that by the time I got there, I didn't mind that it was locked up. All I cared about was getting a picture of the place. It was better than my wildest fantasy. In the middle of nowhere. A small wooden house with faded green paint. And nailed above the door, a wooden sign with the word "Records" painted on it. I have to get a website just to put a picture of that place up on it. There was a sign on the door with the address of two other locations. They were both around the corner so what the hell. Herb told me that the old guy only came in when he wanted to but maybe he just decided to go to the other places today. First place we looked, he was there. This time a brown wooden shack with a slightly smaller wooden sign. I bought forty records for a buck each and it took me about fifteen minutes to find them. The place was had about eight shelves, floor to ceiling, in a space of about 150 square feet. Plus some stuff on the floor. To find those forty records, I only looked at half of one shelf. It was a bit like going to a store and placing your order in order to fill out your collection. You want Command records? There they are, six feet of them. He didn't have every single one but he had a few that I didn't have and a few I'd never heard of. It was more "lounge" than "exotica" but still it was easy pickings. I should add that I mostly was picking up the Command stuff for my friend's store. I sort of figured I had most of the Commands I wanted. Which is why I'm now kicking myself. I gave my friend both of the "Dimension Three" records I found. We played them first off today. And damnit if that "third speaker in the middle" thing doesn't work. Like a charm. It's one of the best audio tricks I've ever heard. And to add insult to injury, most of the time that middle speaker is playing these absolutely wacked-out Dick Hyman organ parts. I'm going to have to get that record back. The best Command thing I've heard in ages. Anyway, when I got back to Harvey's and told him about what happened, he told me that I'd only scratched the surface. The guy also had a warehouse. Ten times bigger than the store I'd been in. I just hope I get there again before one of you guys on the list goes and cleans it out. parts seven and eight - "Herb's house" - later maybe... But have you ever heard this record by Phil Moore "Fantasy for Girl and Orchestra"? I had to fight for that one. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Morning arrivals Date: 06 Jul 1999 09:36:19 +0100 What a satisfying morning it is when some nice pieces of vinyl arrive at one's door!

He was 72. He also appeared in movies, on Las Vegas stages and had his own television show in the late 1950s. In 1950, after Frank Sinatra declined to record ``My Heart Cries For You,'' famed band leader Mitch Miller offered it to Mitchell and he not only had a million-seller with that Columbia Records recording, but another million-seller with the B-side of that record, ``The Roving Kind.'' It launched a career that made Mitchell a household name in the '50s. He followed it up with ``My Truly Truly Fair,'' in 1952. He would go on to have 16 million-selling recordings. In 1953, Mitchell starred with Rhonda Fleming in the movie ``Those Redheads From Seattle,'' and a year later starred with Rosemary Clooney in ``Red Garters.'' From 1957-58 Mitchell starred on television in ``The Guy Mitchell Show'' and appeared on all the major TV shows of that era. In 1957, he released the No. 1 recording of ``Singing the Blues,'' and a year later topped the charts again with ``Heartaches by the Number.'' LAS VEGAS, Nev., July 5 (UPI) -- Novelty song hit-maker Guy Mitchell has died at Desert Hot Springs Hospital in Las Vegas. He was 72. Mitchell died of complications from surgery on Thursday. His wife revealed the death today. Between 1950 and 1960, Mitchell had nearly 40 hit records, most of them novelties, folk tunes and country songs. In 1956, Mitchell's cover of Marty Robbins' country hit ``Singing the Blues'' was the No. 1 pop single for 10 weeks. When Frank Sinatra refused to record two songs for Columbia Records in 1949 while the band was waiting in the studio, producer Mitch Miller called in Mitchell as a last-minute substitute. Those two songs were ``My Heart Cries for You'' and ``The Roving Kind,'' which became back-to-back Top 5 hits. LOS ANGELES, July 5 (UPI) -- Motion picture special-effects wizard John Stears has died at UCLA Medical Center. He was 64. The man who created R2-D2, the lovable ``droid'' of ``Star Wars'' fame, and the deadly Aston Martin car used by James Bond in the 1960s fell victim to a stroke on April 28. Friends revealed the death only today, saying they wanted to keep the news quiet until after services were held in May in Pacific Palisades and London. Stears, a Briton, had homes in Pacific Palisades and Beaconsfield, England. He earned an Oscar in 1965 for ``Thunderball,'' which starred Sean Connery and featured an underwater battle scene. He also shared an Academy Award in 1977 for his work on ``Star Wars.'' *Xavier Gelin PARIS (AP) -- Xavier Gelin, a French actor and a mainstay of popular French cinema for more than three decades, died Friday of cancer. He was 53. Gelin was the son of French film stars Daniel Gelin and Daniele Delorme. He played supporting roles in more than 20 films, including Gerard Oury's 1973 comic hit ``The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob'' with Louis de Funes. He also starred in Claude Lelouche's ``Adventure, It's Adventure'' and ``The Devil by the Tail'' by Philippe de Broca. Other hits include Claude Pinoteau's ``The Slap'' and ``The Party-2'' and ``A Simple Story,'' directed by Claude Sautet. *Mark Sandman ROME (AP) -- Mark Sandman, the lead singer of the Boston rock band Morphine, died Saturday of a heart attack at a concert outside Rome. He was 46. Sandman collapsed on stage in front of several thousand spectators at a music festival just before midnight. He was not known to have a heart condition or any other major health problems. Sandman, known for his deep, murky baritone, played bass and wrote all of Morphine's songs. Morphine is a guitar-less trio that includes Dana Colley on saxophone and Billy Conway on drums. The group started out playing loft parties and bars around Boston and Cambridge, Mass., in the early 1990s and built a solid cult following. Morphine released five albums: ``Good,'' ``Cure for Pain,'' ``Yes,'' ``Like Swimming'' and ``B-Side.'' Morphine has gotten heavy airplay on college radio, and its songs have appeared on soundtracks for the films ``Get Shorty,'' ``Beautiful Girls'' and ``Postcards From America,'' as well as on the TV series ``Homicide: Life on the Street.'' Victor A. Bonomo died at the age of 100 on June 26 in Bal Harbour, Florida.

(AP) -- The 20th century hasn't been all sunshine for Jimmie Davis, but as the singer, songwriter and former segregationist governor approaches his 100th birthday, sunshine is what he's best known for. After a lifetime of hit tunes, movies and politics, the simple song ``You Are My Sunshine'' is Davis' best known legacy. ``There are a lot worse things to leave behind,'' says Davis, due to celebrate his 100th birthday Sept. 11. ``I'm glad to claim it as mine.'' Almost 60 years since Davis first recorded the song, people send it to him in music boxes, he hears it on answering machines and he can find it in more than 300 versions and 50 languages. ``Along with 'Happy Birthday,' it's the most valuable music copyright ever,'' says Kevin Fontenot, a doctoral candidate at Tulane University, who is writing a book about Davis. For a man who left so many marks on the century, the century has left relatively little mark on Davis. He uses a walker now but every morning still dons a freshly starched dress shirt and tie. He performs several times a year, works in his home office daily and monitors his royalties. ``I came up expecting to work hard for everything I got, and I never saw anything that persuaded me that wasn't true,'' Davis says. The son of a sharecropper, Davis was the oldest of 11 children raised in a two-room house. By age 7, he was plowing behind the family mule and picking cotton. The hard work and lean living taught values Davis says he still has. ``The first Christmas present I ever got was a dried hog's bladder and a plucked blackbird,'' he says. ``We ate the blackbird and played ball with the bladder, and I thought we were pretty well off.'' Davis began his professional singing career at Louisiana College -- crooning on street corners. After graduation, the money he earned singing, even when added to his teacher's pay, wasn't enough to pay off school debts. For a steady salary, he entered politics -- first as clerk of court in Shreveport, then the state Public Service Commission. By the time he was elected governor in 1943, Davis was already becoming famous in music and films, playing the singing cowboy in a number of horse operas. But politics did not flow as sweetly through Davis' life as his music. Davis served two terms as Louisiana governor -- 1944-48 and 1960-64. In his first term, he set a record for absenteeism, traveling frequently to Hollywood to further his movie career. ``I should have done more movies,'' Davis says with an air of defiance. ``I turned down a chance to make millions to take a job that paid $1,000 a month.'' In 1959, Davis ran on a ``Peace and Harmony'' platform but was unable to deliver either in those turbulent times. ``I am unqualifiedly in favor of segregation,'' Davis wrote in a campaign pamphlet. ``The best way to maintain our historic way of life, as well as harmonious relations between the races, is to provide separate and equal facilities.'' As governor, Davis called five straight special legislative sessions to resist federal desegregation orders and, when the courts prevailed, set up grants to aid private school pupils. His views reflected those of most whites at the time, says historian Michael Kurtz, dean of the graduate school at Southeastern Louisiana: ``On the whole, he was a middle-of-the-road individual who supported keeping the status quo. He didn't want to rock the boat.'' But when things changed, Kurtz adds, so did Davis. Under Davis, Louisiana strengthened its schools, instituted teacher pensions, invested idle state funds and took early environmental action. He made a halfhearted bid for a third term in 1971. One of 19 candidates, he lost. ``It was the best thing that ever happened to me,'' Davis insists. ``It was after that I got to do what I really wanted -- sing, perform, live my life.'' Davis is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Hall of Fame. He started off singing blues. Early on, he worked with two black sidemen. In the 1930s, he had an integrated band, practically unheard of then. ``He was really ahead of his time in appreciating the blues,'' Fontenot says. ``And when you listen to those records, he's one of the blackest-sounding white men I've ever heard.'' But it was the sad, nostalgic songs, first called hillbilly, later country-western, that Davis became known for. His rich voice spun out ballads about lost love, lost times and unforgotten dreams. By 1929 Davis was recording for RCA Victor and singing at any juke joint that would pay. He says his parents ``worried because I wasn't making steady money. I had a song I really liked, and I promised them that if it didn't make it, I'd give it up.'' ``Nobody's Darling But Mine'' was his first big hit. Since then, by his own count, Davis has written better than 400 tunes and recorded more than 60 albums. Davis first recorded ``You Are My Sunshine'' in 1931 but was so unhappy with the studio band that he refused to release it. Eight years passed before he recorded it again. It became a smash hit that eventually sold millions. Recorded by dozens of artists from Bing Crosby to Gene Autry, ``You Are My Sunshine'' was a favorite of King George VI. It was played on Armed Forces Radio during World War II, and GIs landing in Japan found it already a favorite there. Davis says he has recorded ``Sunshine'' dozens of times, just last year with a children's choir. Others have tried to lay claim to the song. There's no question he wrote the lyrics, but Fontenot says there's some debate whether he was solely responsible for the tune. ``That's still the million-dollar question,'' Fontenot says. ``The tune may have had its roots in traditional folk songs, but there's no question now that it's Jimmie Davis' song. He owns the copyright.'' HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Singer Pat Boone said he loves appearing at Fourth of July parades because it gives him a chance to sing ``Happy Birthday'' to the United States. ``I feel like a human roman candle or firecracker,'' the 65-year-old performer said Sunday, waving the tassle-covered sleeves of his red, white and blue jumpsuit as he broke into song: ``Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear America. We thank God for you!'' Boone was the grand marshal at the 95th annual Huntington Beach parade, one of the oldest Independence Day celebrations in Southern California. The entertainer said his new video album ``American Glory'' will feature only patriotic songs because be believes American melodies promote respect for the country and good behavior. ``We need something like this in every American home,'' he said. ``If we don't sing those songs, and if our kids don't learn them, we're going to lose them all.'' # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Carlfors Subject: Re: (exotica) weekend in cleveland part six (of eight?)

Gauranteed to brighten up those cloudy days! This 74 minute long cd is commercial jingles, many danceable on the Ondioline with a wild and zany percusssive background. There are 99 tracks and one track contains an added treat, the Sitar. The first 33 tracks are the 2 minute plus commercial jingles the next 66 are samples used in these jingles with some great little 10 second snippets of melodies. The 33 2 minute moogy pop commercial jingles are really great pop melodies ala "The Commercials" on TV Toons. This is a wild ride of tremendous little jingles that would make perfect little breaks beween songs on your next moog compilation mini disc. Does any listee know about the Kosinus label? It looks like it has 59 other compilation albums with titles like "Jungle Jazz" and "Summer Colors" After listening to Good Moog and Happyland I'm ready for more. I got this cd reasonably priced from the amazing and wonderful Jack Diamond.

Both cds feature enough jazz ("Get a Move On") and thrift store lounge samples ("Blackpool Roll"), not forgetting sonic whimsy ("Ambiosound") to satisfy anyone who is interested in the the modern version of the music that is discussed on this list. So far my favourite track is "Shanty Town" which has to be the first sea shanty to feature big beats. Oh yeah, "Keep it Unreal" contains "Fish" which in a fair world, would be a massive hit.

You'd probably appreciate the story a bit more if you'd ever worked in the transport department on a film but basically... Scott Baio was acting in this film I was working on as a driver. You've never seen it or heard of it but just for accuracy, it was a TV movie called "The Trouble with Alex". Though Scott at this point was in his early twenties, he still travelled with his father Mario who was also supposedly his manager. Mario had not exactly been born to show business. Normally that might have been refreshing but not in this case. He had quit his construction business to devote himself full time to Scott's career but there's a reason managers seldom stay with a star all through a production. Mario had absolutely nothing to do all day long and so he became overly concerned with small details pertaining to his personal comfort. One of those details was his luncheon meat and the importance of keeping it at the proper temperature. Normally we would tie his motorhome into the main power supply and that would keep the motorhome fridge humming along all day, thus keeping his meat at the proper temperature. On this particular day however, the main generator was too far away so we had to use the motorhome generator. But the motorhome generator made a lot of noise and the soundman needed it shut off when we did the take. So my job was to turn off the motorhome generator when they were about to shoot and then turn it back on when they called "cut". (I'm sure you've all heard the joke with the punchline "What? And give up show business?") Now of course, with this kind of on/off routine, the luncheon meat was sure to suffer anyway but still we had to maintain the illusion for Mario that we were doing all we could to preserve his meat. So we do the last take and I turn the generator off. Then they call a wrap on that location and we begin the routines of moving to the next location. In a few minutes I'll be getting in the motorhome and driving it to the next location so I figure there's no reason to turn the generator back on. You don't drive with the generator on because the engine will generate the power at that point. And when we get to the next location, I'll tie the motorhome in with the main "gennie". But to my surprise, instead of getting in the car with his son and the driver and moving to the next location, Mario gets a sudden craving for one last slice of salami and returns to the motorhome where he is absolutely mortified to find that the generator isn't on. Outraged, he asks my boss for an explanation. And my spineless boss sputters an apology, which causes me to look askance. Mario catches my look and asks me directly "You don't agree with that, do you?" And I answer him honestly, basically giving him the above explanation and perhaps adding that I frankly had expected him to wait a bit before having another slice of luncheon meat. So he asks the producers to fire me. And they refuse, knowing, I suppose that they hadn't a leg to stand on. So a compromise is reached. I cannot come within a hundred feet - or yards - of either Mario or his star son for the duration of the production. What a hellish sacrifice that was but somehow I struggled through it. You asked.

It's not "ethnic" enough. Actually a movie of Herb's life has been optioned and if it's made, he'll be played either by Rob Schneider or my personal choice Dan Castellanata (or however you spell it.) Though I bare little physical resemblance to him, I have a notion that in the movie I would be played either by Gilbert Gottfried or if I'm lucky, Ben Stiller. In that version of the movie, Herb would probably be played by Jerry Lewis. And though Mary Steenburgen could do a fine job playing his wife, I would personally like to see Jerry Lewis and Sandra Bernhard team up again and Sandra could do this role in her sleep. And as for "Larry", the owner of "Records", I would choose Richard Farnsworth but Anthony Hopkins is a fine choice as long as you can get him to underact for a change.

Maybe this can be a prequel to the Cleveland saga -- Episode One, perhaps? Maybe Industrial Light and Magic can be persuaded to animate the luncheon meat. And to steer the topic away to something completely different: I'm listening right now to Arthur Lyman's "Taboo" album, and I was wondering whether anyone knew the background to "Dahil Sayo," the 11th track. (He does a very groovy Perez Prado-like mambo rhythm in the instrumental bridge.) It's credited as "Trad." but I've known it all my life as a ballad from the Philippines, complete with Tagalog lyrics. (Surprisingly, the Skatalites have a version of the song too.) In fact, Imelda Marcos would be persuaded to sing it -- I should say "sing" -- without much coaxing at every political rally. Can anyone help out?

In the course of making my film, I was in a lot of houses and apartments with a lot of records. Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, even a half a million once. I've been in the basement rec rooms with 78's lined up like a bunch of files and in dank basements with records seeping out of the cracks in the concrete. But all I ever did was point a camera at them. Until that day in Herb's basement, I'd never actually gone through a "collection" like that. Record by record. Piles everywhere. Sitting precariously on crumpling cartons. Under piles of books. Packed tightly onto sagging old metal shelves so that you can't slide them back after you've managed to slide them out. Piles to trip over. Piles you have to step over to get to other piles. Shelves so close together that you can't stand back far enough to pull the record out. Bare bulbs behind you so that your own shadow prevents you from reading the cover. Part of the time I got Herb to come down to the basementwith me. I needed help. There was no way I could go through all those records myself. Also, I didn't want to bring records upstairs with me that I had no chance of getting. I wanted Herb there so I could ask him about the odd one. I also wanted Herb there because I wanted the company. And I wanted Herb there because it was fucking scarey in that basement. I thought I'd seen a mouse the last time I was down there. When I told Herb about it, he practically tore his hair out. "That's all I need", he whined. He said that a lot. When I told him that I'd told his foster daughter - who was sure to tell his wife - he begged me to tell him that I was kidding. I knew it was a mistake to tell her but unfortunately I couldn't tell Herb that I was kidding. "No, I told her". There's a word in Yiddish "geshrei" that goes some way toward describing Herb's reaction to learning that I'd inadvertently informed his wife about the mouse sighting. Now his wife would have yet another reason to get on his case. She was already afraid to go down to the basement to do the laundry. But if she heard there was a mouse... On top of that, she would undoubtedly fear that the mouse - or mice - was eating the record jackets. As much as she hated all those records all over her house, at least she could comfort herself with the thought that they were worth something. But if the mouse started eating the jackets... "Mice don't eat record jackets!" Herb insisted. "I know that", I told him. Though I didn't know it for a fact. I just wanted to bring his blood pressure down a bit. "But she doesn't know it", he cried. He begged me to tell his wife that I was only kidding. I compromised and told him that if I ever ran into his wife again, I would tell her that I'd mistaken one of the cats for a mouse. I wasn't sure I would see her again. She sort of kept out of my way and only emerged when I would leave, at which point she would begin to yell at Herb until supposedly the moment I returned, when she would disappear again. Anyway, so we're down in the basement, going through the records and Herb is actually sort of enjoying it because he's seeing all kinds of records that he didn't remember having. And I'm asking him about this one and that one. He keeps promising me that he put away this cache of loungey things for me but all I'm finding is jazz. I don't ask him about the straight jazz ones - or at least straight jazz as I define it - but anything that seems to sort of fall in the middle, I ask about. I get nowhere with the female torch singers so I stop asking about them. I find lots of Latin stuff like Machito, Chaino and lots of Tito Puente. Even when I ask about that stuff, Herb often says no. Until I sort of lose my temper and tell him that at this rate, I'll only be leaving with the records he first brought out to the porch. From that point on, he occasionally catches himself about to say no and shrugs "Bring it up. We'll see". Not too encouraging. But I figure the more I bring up, the more I'll get. I remember bringing up a lot of Lalo Schifrin and a lot of Pete Rugolo. And a lot of organ jazz. Shirley Scott. Lots of Jack McDuff. Herbie Mann. Cal Tjader. A lot of Johnny Lytle and I love Johnny Lytle. (And so would you if you haven't heard him. Vibes and organ. Yum.) I'm trying to forget all I brought up because, not to give the story away but.. I didn't get that much of it. It's not that Charles Lloyd and Cal Tjader and organ jazz AREN'T jazz exactly. It's just that there's more of a connection between them and "lounge" and I figured that as long as I stayed close to lounge, I would eventually score. I also found A LOT of doubles. Even if it was straight jazz, I would bring up the doubles. And I had to bring up both copies - or as many as he had - so that he could decide which one to give me and which one to keep. I admired this Sonny Stitt record. He was playing "variphone" - a sort of electronic sax - but I have records where he plays that and I like them. But I knew not to even ask Herb about it. Five minutes later, I found another copy. "Herb, what about this Sonny Stitt. I just saw another copy". "Where?" "Back in that corner room". That room had been hell. I wasn't going back there, even for Sonny. "On the shelves?" "No, on a pile near the door". He went and looked. He couldn't find it. "I have to see it", he told me. Not that he wouldn't believe me exactly. He just knew himself and if he didn't see it with his own two eyes, the thought that the spare copy didn't actually exist would haunt him. Finally I told him to forget it. And he went upstairs. Five minutes later, I found a third copy! But I went back to the shelf where I had found the second one and I couldn't find it. And so it went. I was down there five hours. Pulled out a few thousand records off the shelves. Some of the rarest and most beautiful jazz records I've ever seen. Languishing in dark corners, never to be played again, I guarantee you. But if Herb ever gets a thought and he needs a record to prove his point, he needs to know that the record is down there somewhere. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in cleveland part eight Date: 07 Jul 1999 03:53:15 -0400 I probably lugged at least three hundred records upstairs. And then the haggling began. But before we could haggle, I separated the records into piles. One pile for all the doubles. One for all the "true lounge" as I saw it. The records I was pretty sure I would get. The records with, in my opinion, little connection to "jazz". A pile for all the groovy "fake jazz" records, organ records, vibe records, Latin stuff. And a pile for the stuff I doubted I would get. I think I also made a pile for the stuff that was neither lounge nor jazz. A reissue of the first Fugs record. (Got that one.) A couple of Impressions records. (Got those too. I'm a huge Curtis Mayfield fan, as you'll find out if you ever see my film.) And there were five records that I managed to hide in "my room", off the livingroom where the haggling took place. These were the records I had to get, the records I would insist on taking if it came to it. Once we started going through the records, I started breaking down the records into subpiles according to how much I was willing to pay him. A quarter, fifty cents, a dollar and "more than a dollar". And I had it all worked out. I'd pay a quarter for a "minor" lounge record or a good one, not in great shape. Fifty cents for a good lounge record or a jazz record not in good shape. A minor lounge record would be something by Frances Bay or Hugo Winterhalter or most of the Marty Golds or this Paul Weston one - "Music for Dreaming" - that I was only buying for the cover. A good one would be a Puente or a Prado or this one by my (and Jane's) hero Michel Legrand, "Michel Legrand In Rio", which I actually would have passed up until Herb told me the secret about that record. John Coltrane plays on it. Don't ask me how Herb knows but if he says so, it's true. And I was only getting this one because of course, Herb had three copies. (If you don't have it, it's got a great version of "Caravan" but I can't hear Coltrane's sound on it.) I didn't only put jazzy stuff in the dollar pile. I also put the Esquivels that were in good shape there. (The more beaten one was in the fifty cent pile. And in those cases, we agreed actually.) I also put the Pete Rugolo in the dollar pile. Not that I thought he belonged there but there was this beautiful one with some title including "Percussion" and I figured I had to compromise in order to get it. (I didn't get it anyway.) Almost right away, Herb took a couple of the quarter records and threw them on the reject pile. "I can get fifty cents for these", he said. And I felt like walking away at that point. That really pissed me off and later it would come to haunt me. But I kept going. There was all the work I'd done in the basement. There was my friend and his record store back in Toronto. And there was "The Party" which had become some sort of holy grail for me, even though I have the best cuts on a Mancini LP compilation. All I can say is that the reject pile was growing faster than my pile. There were a lot of records I refused to pay more than a quarter for that if I saw them tomorrow, I might pay a dollar. But I had come down there on the express understanding that I would get some records for a quarter. It was a direct quote from Herb. And I had also come down on the implication that I was doing him a favour. He had begged me to come down there for months. Help clear some of the records out of his house. Get his wife off his back... which I did but not in the way I expected. At one point, I went outside for a smoke and ended up sharing the porch with his wife who was shovelling down her dinner because she had to leave any second. I asked her if I could take her and the kid - who I'd barely seen either - for breakfast the next day before we left. No, she had to take the kid somewhere early. So I thanked her for her hospitality and with that, she launched into a lengthy discussion of Herb's failings. I defended him as much as I could, trying to highlight the humour in her stories. She actually laughed once. Later I found out that when she went back inside, she told Herb that I had said some nice things about him and then she smiled at him. "First time she did that in months", he told me later. And as thanks, he gave me some record he said he would have otherwise kept. The negotiations took about two hours. I got a lot of records but got rejected on a whole bunch more. When we were finished, I remembered the five records in my room and brought them out. "I have to get these five. After all the rejections, you've got to let me have these". Herb was unmoved as he examined them. "Dylan Jazz". Right up my alley. Probably bad, inappropriate jazz-influenced covers of Dylan tunes. And the band weren't even jazz musicians. The guitarist was Glen Campbell. Herb throws it on the reject pile. "It's not even jazz," I protest. Herb shrugs. "You really want a record with a cover of Like a Rolling Stone???" "It's not what they cover, " Herb parries, "It's how they play it". (Which is true but still...) "Did you see who's playing guitar? Glen Campbell" "That's why I want it", he retorts. (Someday Herb'll do a piece for the Boston Globe on the "free jazz" roots of Glen Campbell.) Must have number two: Jack Costanzo "Naked City" (The bongo king doing crime jazz classics? To die for.) Jack hits the reject pile. No explanation. Must have's three and four. Both by Pete Rugolo. One of them called something like "Music for Hi Fi Bugs" with pictures of bugs on the cover. Rejected. Some guy Herb likes is on it. Next Rugolo is the must-have to end must-have's. "Music out of Space" or something to that effect with this great picture of Pete in a space helmet. This one Herb takes to the turntable, looking for jazz solos to show me why he needs to keep it. When he can't find any solos, he puts it on the reject pile anyway. "I like Pete Rugolo", he tells me. "He did a lot of great arranging for Stan Kenton". I'm dying at this point. Must have number five. "Fantasy for Girl and Orchestra". I don't really know who Phil Moore was but I've heard his name on this list in the context of some classic exotica record. Never seen anything by him before. And this one I would want for the cover alone. First Herb tells me there might be some jazz content on it but when he plays it, he can't find any. The few moments I hear - the narration by "the girl" for instance - make me want it even more. Then he tells me that it's a very rare record and that he can't let it go for a buck. I'd already paid him three whole dollars for his spare copy of Alice Coltrane "With Strings" and two dollars for a couple of records so in desperation, I offered him three dollars for the girl and her fantasy. "I could get at least seven". No fucking way I was going to pay seven even if the record was worth a hundred. So that was that. Zero out of five on my must-have's. We added it up. A hundred records for fifty cents. Forty for a quarter. And forty for a dollar or more. One hundred and eighty records for one hundred and eight American dollars. epilogue to follow... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nicola Battista Subject: (exotica) Phase 4-- are they worth it??

I don't understand why you've got the hump about Herb though Nat. 180 records for $108 seems a very good deal, especially if they're picked out of someone's collection. And can you blame Herb for not selling a Dave Pike record at that price?

Don't have a clue how it happened. So this will not be as good as it could have been. That night my travelling buddy wanted to hear some live music. I just wanted to bitterly complain about my experience with Herb but I figured I owed him for putting up with the two of us and our day long haggle. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For one thing, it was the first bar we went to in Cleveland that didn't feel like the college football team and their cheerleader girlfriends celebrating after the big game. But I was in a lousy, bitter mood. That moment where Herb threw a record on the reject pile because I was only offering a quarter and somewhere there was someone who someday would give him fifty cents for it. That kept running through my head and everytime it did, I would whine some complaint at my buddy. Herb kept telling me all through the ordeal that I shouldn't complain. "You're getting a lot of bargains here", he told me. And that was true, I guess. "But I didn't drive down here and stay in that house with him and his wife in order to get a bargain on some records. I didn't go through that basement for five hours so I could get some bargains. Sure I hoped that would happen and sure, I was determined to get the best price I could. But that wasn't why I came down here. I came down because I thought I was doing him a favor. I came down because for the last year he's been phoning and begging me to come down and take some records off his hands. I wouldn't have come here just to get a few bargains on records". At some point Herb had decided to sell me a Chaino record. "Jungle Echoes". Only after determining that it had no jazz solos. It was some kind of compromise after rejecting a Machito record I wanted. But he wanted a buck for it. Not the normal fifty cents I was paying for non-jazz. "I sold one of these to another guy from Toronto and I made him pay three bucks", Herb informed me as if to emphasize the bargain he was giving me. "What do I care what he charged that guy", I said to my buddy later that night. Indignantly. "What do I care what he charges some client of a dealer friend of his? There's no comparison between me and that guy!" "Sure I got some good records", I continued. "Sure I got some bargains. But I came down here to take a LOT of records out of his house and he turned me down on more than half of them. Half the records he rejected are going to go back down in the basement and never be seen or heard again." And so it went. All night long with my buddy and all night by myself as I lay on that frigging futon for one last night. I slept a couple of hours and awoke with a headache. Too much teeth gnashing I guess. But apparently I wasn't the only one who had thoughts running through his head all night for just as I rolled out of bed, Herb entered "my room". "I've got a few surprises for you", he said and then quickly added. "Not big surprises mind you. But I think you're going to be happy." He felt a little guilty and wanted to make up for things. The only surprise I remember was that Marty Gold "Swings out west" record which I had found my first night there. Somehow or other, that record had disappeared and wasn't around two days later when we got down to the actual purchasing. I didn't think it was a coincidence but Herb assured me he had just temporarily misplaced it. Oh and he decided he was going to "let" me purchase the Phil Moore record. And as he came up with those few modest surprises, we shared our respective versions of the previous day. What it came down to was this. Herb did this all the time. He'd been doing it for years. People came to his house and bought records. So there was this record-haggling "mode" that he just automatically went into, friend or foe. He'd tried to be as friendly as he could be but when he was in the mode, he was in the mode. Herb had assumed the same thing about me. He had assumed that I did stuff like this all the time. But I had never done it before. Sure I'd been around records a lot and done a bit of haggling at used record stores, on both sides of the counter recently. And maybe I had some kind of predisposition to haggling, not the supposedly genetic kind but the kind that comes from being a sarcastic, argumentative bastard. But even if I had done it before, I wasn't expecting to do it that weekend. Herb had figured he was dealing with a veteran like himself and met force with force. But even while I was trying to get records from him as cheap as I could, I hadn't come down there to engage in a battle OR a game. When I felt him go into battle mode, I had tried to respond in kind. But I didn't enjoy it. Not like he did. All we could do at that point was agree to disagree. "So maybe you will come back someday after all?", he asked me. "Maybe. If you need someone to run interference with your wife". "All you did was buy me fifteen minutes of peace. At the most", he told me with a pained expression. More pained than usual. "As soon as she comes back and sees you're gone, she'll make up for it". We went for breakfast. Herb didn't eat but he came to keep us company. And we talked about the previous day some more. I still wasn't satisfied. "Those Rugolo records. I told you I really wanted them. You told me they have some tenuous connection to jazz. Sure, maybe they do. But you and I both know that with all those great jazz records all over your house, you will never ever play those records again. Guaranteed!" Herb gave in a bit and nodded. "What can I say? So I'm a bit compulsive". And at that I smiled and gave up. But Herb wasn't finished. Back at the house, as my buddy and I gathered our belongings, Herb started GIVING me records. In return, I agreed to look for a few things he was looking for but I would have done that anyway. Herb GAVE me: An Art Van Damme ten inch with a cool Martini-depicting cover. A Nelson Riddle record that I always wanted for the cover. "Sea of Dreams" then it got a lot better. He gave me a record we had discussed the previous day but which he wanted big money for. Even though he had a spare. He believed it was too big a deal to give away for a buck or even three. He gave me "Eleven Against the Ice", a TV soundtrack by my sorta hero Kenyon Hopkins. Still haven't played it but I like having it. Can't imagine that an iceberg picture will have a crime jazz soundtrack but you never know. I was about to tell him that he had made me happy with that one but then he gave me another one. Something I hadn't even seen the previous day, let alone asked for. Quincy Jones' soundtrack for "The Hot Rock". Can always use another Quincy soundtrack. "Are you happy now?" he asked. "More than happy", I told him. But then I spied two copies of a record, leaning near him. "Were you going to give me one of those too?", I asked him. And he sheepishly admitted that he had been. So he examined them to see which was the copy in worse shape and then gave me Nino Rota's soundtrack to "La Dolce Vita". I told him he could stop with that one and so he did, with some relief. Who knows what else he was prepared to give me but at that point I wanted to hit the road more than get another record. And that's what we did. So what else did I get besides another lesson in the murky world of record collecting? Well in a few cases, it's hard to remember whether I got the record from Herb or from the stores but I'll give the highlights I can say for sure. Those Esquivels I told you about, one of which I'll keep and the rest'll go to my friend's store. "The Party". (And I think I'm about to get that Bill Plummer solo LP) A few Cal Tjader's including "Soul Burst". An early Townes Van Zandt. Don't know what that was doing there but I'm a huge Townes fan. It's sort of folk-rock for those who are unfamiliar. Van Dyke Parks "Discovering America" which I'm actually letting my friend sell. And I'm pretty sure I have a copy somewhere. I think we can get forty bucks for it but God knows why. A couple of Prado's and Puente's. Reissue of the first Fugs record. A bunch of Shirley Scott, Jack McDuff and Johnny Lytle, though many are probably too beat for a normal person. (But not for an "acid jazz" DJ somewhere.) The soundtrack for "The Subterraneans". Looks like a potential crime jazz thing. Ron Goodwin's "Music for an Arabian night". (Could be an exotica classic to go along with the George Cates and Martin Denny records I got elsewhere.) That "Al hirt meets the Green Hornet" which I told you about before. A stereo copy - in great shape - of the "I want to live" soundtrack to replace my somewhat beat mono copy. (I've always wanted to know. Among "serious" collectors of soundtracks or lounge/exotica, which is more valued? The stereo or the mono?) An almost complete set of Howard Roberts groovy sixties organ quartet records, some of which may soon be winging their way to England for that minor co-star of mine in Hugh's movie version of this past weekend. A couple of Herbie Mann's including "London Underground" where he plays the Stones tune "Bitch" along with Mick Taylor and Aynsley Dunbar. I also learned some lessons but I don't think I have the energy right now to figure out what they were. And right now, I'm sick of records, which can't be a bad thing. And we on the exotica list got our first serialized novella whether we wanted it or not.

(AP) -- Bob Lucas, a jazz pianist who played with greats such as Dave Brubeck and Dinah Shore, died Sunday of leukemia, two weeks after his final performance, with Eddie Fisher. He was 60. Two weeks ago, a frail Lucas, battling a 102-degree fever, accompanied Fisher in a performance in San Francisco that was filmed by Dateline NBC for a piece on Fisher's attempted comeback. Lucas discovered jazz when his father invited Louis Armstrong to stay at the family hotel after other hotels refused to rent a room to the black musician. Lucas passed up a scholarship at the New York Light Opera Company for life as a jazz musician. He came to California in 1968, playing at clubs in the San Francisco area. In the late 1970s he took over the foundering Russian River Jazz Festival and brought it back to life in a few years. Lucas was well-known for his charity work, playing at events such as AIDS and cancer benefits, dropping by nursing homes or anywhere he could gather an audience. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: (exotica) The "Sleepwalking/Sensational" Guitars of Dan & Dale?

Originally considered to be a piece of furniture, and featuned in movies from the 1940s with women playing songs like "Tico Tico" on them, they gained popularity in the late 60s and 70s as a rock and roll instrument. Rocker organists like Kieth Emerson of The Nice and later of Emerson, Lake and Palmer and John Lord of Deep Purple redefined the concer rock sound with overdriven and distorted screaming Hammond B-3 organs. b) Lowery organs were the competition to Hammond organ starting in the 1950s. Lowery gained popularity with what is now called "Lounge" music with players like Lenny Dee. Also originally more furniture-like, Lowery branched out to include concert sized models for small professional venues. Many of these models were purchased for taverns and Elks clubs, where many still sit today. The later model Lowrey organs are geared toward home use. c) Wurlitzer organs were the answer to churches and other large venues thatr could not afford pipe organs. Wurlitzer started their keyboard business around the turn of the century with "Nickelodeons"; player pianos with built in drums and violins that were coin operated. They began to include small pipes in some of these machines, then they developed an electric organ. This is the sound most familiar to baseball fans too... d) any other notable organs include the Farfisa, a small portable and inexpensive solution for the small combo, it is the epitome of the 1960's garage and surf sound. The Vox Continental, which shares a similar niche, it was used extensively by Ray Manzarek of The Doors. And not necessarily an organ, but somewhere in between a piano and a synthesizer was the Mellotron. Used extensively by The Moody Blues on their In Search of the Lost Chord and Days of Future Passed albums, it used individual recordings of orchestras, strings of brass placed on magnetic tape under each key. When the key was depressed, a tape transport was engaged and the recording played for as long as 8 seconds.

I promise I will say something interesting about an actual record album again, someday. . . But the topic of "how long does a stylus last, anyway?" had come up before on the list--so I wanted to tell the story of something pretty amazing that I found out today. I have a Shure cartridge that I know for a fact got its last replacement stylus 13 years ago. Since about 1993 I've been feeding it a steady diet of thrift-store records, whose condition has been all over the map--a lot of them have been wrecked and filthy. Soundwise, I find that certain records seem a little fuzzy to me--others are fine--and I've been a little confused about how much was just the condition of the vinyl, or whether the stylus might be starting to be a problem. So I went over to the local tweako hifi place (the last place in town that is still into turntables), and asked them to take a look at it. I expected them to tell me it was totally shot, and that I'd be walking out of there with a new cartridge. (You can't get replacement stylii for this model any more, the folks at http://www.needledoctor.com claim.) But I was curious if mine was so worn that I was actually damaging records. Maybe I could still use it as a "beater" cartridge to screen incoming LPs? Well, they stuck it under the stereo microscope--and damned if that stylus wasn't still OK! The guy said, "this has about 25% of its wear left." If it was a tire, I could still drive to California and back on it. Frankly, when I looked through the scope I could barely see the wear he was talking about. Thirteen years! Playing the very records that Moritz was so horrified to learn were covered in crunchy mineral residues from our tap water. I guess diamond really is hard stuff. . . Now this is not to say that you should all go out and play your LPs with destroyed needles. . . after all this is a good cartridge that only tracks at about 1.3 grams--so the stylus/groove wear is at the low end of the spectrum.

All I knew about Borrah was that his band was the training ground for Richard Hayman, all three Harmonicats, Leo Diamond and probably some other guys too. But the name "Harmonica Rascals" just gave me this idea it was probably some dopey novelty act. So I only picked up this record out of a sense of historical completeness. Actually it turns out they are a lot better than I expected (at least in this incarnation--they go back in one form or another to 1926). Some of the songs are at the sappier end of things, but there are at least 4 tracks that get the thumbs-up from me. That's more than I can say for the typical Harmonicats album. They do an ominous cover of "What Is This Thing Called Love," and a great, jumped-up version of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C Sharp Minor."

I believe the store I got the most at was called "River Records". Just make sure you don't ask the guy about Sun 78's. Unless you have all day and you like looking at photographs of record labels. The place sort of reminded me of "Records" in Cleveland except that the guy looks in the damn book everytime you bring up a record that hasn't been priced yet. But there was A LOT of good stuff there. Another good place was called, I think, "Shangri-La". That's the name of a cool "alternative rock" label down there. But they also have this new/used record store with a fair bit of exotica vinyl, at least when I was there. I can't remember if the store has the same name as the label but if you can't find the store, phone the label. While you're there, I highly recommend visiting Furry Lewis's grave. You can find out about a lot of this stuff if you pick up this alternative guide to Memphis, which I think was called something like "the White Trash Guide to Memphis" You can get it at this store on Beale Street.

Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until you hear it. Here's how I solve the when to change your needle question. I already have a bunch of spare stylus that fit my cartridge, which I bought about 6 years ago, convinced that I'd never be able to buy these again. So, first of all I'd recommend getting the extra needle now, just to have it. Occasionally I'll be listening to a record and think, "man, this record sounds like crap" , this being a comment on the surface noise, though I've been known to say this about content perhaps more frequently. In any event, if it's really bugging me I'll take the 30 seconds it takes to replace the needle. If I don't notice any difference, which is usually the case, I'll put the old needle back on. If the sound is appreciably better I'll know that it was then time to change the needle. Every one has their own standard of listening to or through surface noise. This being the case it only make sense that folks will have varying ideas on "when to change". Who needs a microscope when you've got ears! I assume most of us vinyl bargain hunters have a higher tolerance and hence should not have to change needles often if ever. For what it's worth .... I worked in a record store back when we actually sold new vinyl as the primary medium and aside from the occasional obvious defect that caused people to return their records there was still a handful of neurotic record geeks that regularly returned records with the most imperceptible tick or blemish. For the most part we simply took the record back rather that cause a stir. One time, however, this one particular customer came in with a record which we put on the store system to listen to the tick that was the cause of the customers return. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the record. "Wait, right there, did you hear that?" the customer spoke up. I backed up and played that section again. There was a faint tick, once, buried in the mix the music. Incredulous and in a bad mood to begin with, I told the customer quite bluntly. "You're not even listening to the music, your playing this waiting to see if you'll be able to hear if there is any thing wrong. If you were listening to the actual music you would never have noticed this." I'll spare you (and myself) an explanation of the consequences of this interchange. Suffice to say that since then this has become my credo in listening to records.

(Though as was pointed out, the company did also branch out into home organs, electric pianos, etc.) I have to confess that one of my earliest "Incredibly Strange" records was a totally funereal Jesse Crawford pipe organ LP--but in later years I've tended to avoid any pipe organ LPs except for George Wright's. (As someone on the list once wisely pointed out, you *really* want to avoid the ones with the word "reverie" in the title.) Hammond was the company that created a particularly rich and warm electric organ sound through the use of the "tone wheel." There is a long motor-driven shaft with many faceted disks on it, which spin very close to pickup coils. The number of nubs which go past the pickup per revolution determines the pitch. Also there are several wheels per note, representing different overtones; drawbars above the keyboard mix in different proportions of these overtones for different timbres. Another part of the "classic" Hammond sound isn't actually the organ itself, but the Leslie cabinet which was often used with it--a rotating speaker that gives a particularly nice vibrato effect. As far as I know, Lenny Dee used a Hammond for all his earlier recordings--though his was apparently hot-rodded with some extra effects, I don't know what all, but he got some pretty freaky sounds out of his. I believe the Lowrey organ used oscillator circuits to generate its sounds (any keyboardists know for sure?) rather than tone wheels, because it was known for the "note bending" sounds which Dick Hyman got so much mileage out of. In fact, I can hardly do better than to quote from the Dick Hyman interview in _Grand Royal_ mag #3: >Q: [discussing _Moon Gas_]Was there some kind of bendable effect on the >organ too? > >DH: Oh yeah. Well in those days I used a Lowrey organ which had--I used >this on all of Enoch Light's records too, and on everybody else's as I got >called, but in particular on this album--it had what they called a >"Hawaiian Guitar" effect.

This was Hammond's 1939 attempt to make an all tube oscillator organ. The whole thing was a commecial failure, because the 100+ tubes were constantly burning out or going off pitch. Nonetheless it produced some really indescribable, juicy sounds, especially in the bass. I know of at least three album sets on 78s which featured the Novachord, but only once did I find the jacket to one, filled with the wrong records!! Grrr. . . .

Sherwood died Monday at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks, California, of complications of Alzheimer's disease, family members said. She was 86. Born in 1913 into a carnival family, Sherwood began her 50-year-career at age 11 in vaudeville. Although audiences always responded to her visceral singing style, she chose to stop touring and marry Broadway showman Don Lanning in 1938. They settled in Miami, Florida, began a family, and went into the local nightclub business where Sherwood sang her way through the 1940s and '50s, pausing between acts to breastfeed her three sons. It was not until 1956, with her husband dying of lung cancer and a family to feed, that Sherwood's career took off. Initially passed over as too old to perform, she sang only at local events until she was hired by a Miami Beach club owner. Soon, people packed the bar to hear the woman with the glasses who banged on a battered cymbal while she sang. Television comic Red Buttons brought in Walter Winchell, who raved about her in his column and on radio broadcasts. Not long after Sherwood was earning up to $5,000 a week at the nation's top nightclubs and was signed to record an album for Decca Records. She played New York's famed Copa Cabana, made the rounds at the major clubs in Las Vegas and opened in Hollywood to an enthusiastic reception. Her style was described by Time magazine as ``flashy, richly sentimental, as unsubtle as her crashing cymbal and as unpretentious as her $49.50 dress.'' ``I dug up the cymbal because Murray Franklin didn't have a drummer,'' she once said. ``I started wearing a sweater because of the air-conditioning ... I wear the glasses when I'm walking through the audience because I can't see without them, and I don't want to walk into somebody's shrimp cocktail.'' She also was known for helping young, struggling performers, including Rickles, who said he was saddened by her death. ``I had the honor of sharing the stage with Roberta in Miami Beach ... when she was a star and I was struggling,'' Rickles said. ``With her help and Walter Winchell's, I started to gain recognition. She was one of a kind. Her style and personality will be missed.'' Over the years Sherwood's dozens of hit recordings included ''You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You,'' and ``Up A Lazy River.'' She became a favorite in the early days of television, appearing on ``The Ed Sullivan Show, ``The Steve Allen Show, ''The Jackie Gleason Show,'' ``The Garry Moore Show'' and ''Person To Person'' with Edward R. Murrow. Sherwood is survived by three sons, two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. (She was in the movie "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" as Mrs. Livingstone, the role that Miyoshi Umeki had on the TV show.Her son, Jerry Lanning, became a musical comedy performer, and was featured in (I think) the soap opera "Texas.") -------------------- Tuesday July 6, 5:25 pm Eastern Time Naked corpse found on whale in Florida's SeaWorld ORLANDO, Fla., July 6 (Reuters) - An unidentified man was found naked and dead on the back of a killer whale in a tank at SeaWorld Orlando on Tuesday morning, apparently after hiding in the Florida theme park after closing time, police said. ``The man was found nude on the whale's back,'' said Jim Solomons, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's office. ``There was no obvious trauma -- he wasn't bitten or chewed up or anything.'' Investigators said an autopsy would determine the cause of death, with drowning considered a strong possibility. The man's name was not released but police said he was 27 years old. Swimming trunks were found at the bottom of the pool. Solomons said the man was not a whale trainer or other SeaWorld employee. Park employees said he might have been someone seen at the park during the previous few days. ``We believe this might have been a man who was seen around the park for several days taking an interest in the whales,'' said SeaWorld general manager Vic Abbey. ``He may have been hiding until the park closed.''

About a year ago, I retired my B&O turntable because of the difficulty and $$ of their special stylus/needle and picked up a Radio Shack turntable at a used furniture store. Brought it over to the local rat shack and the fellow there actually knew something about turntables. He replaced the needle (in stock and only about $17) and balanced the arm for me. I'm back in business, all for less than the price of 2 CD's. The package said it was a diamond needle. Am I being sold the Brooklyn Bridge? I figure I should replace the needle once a year "just to be safe". Now I wonder.

Some do, most certainly. Unlike other eloctronic instruments of the time, many have retained their original dollar value. Hammond B-3 organs are one of the most sought after instruments in the trade. It is not unusual to pay $2000 or more for one in good shape. My band The Brimstones play the Farfisa Compact. He paid around $700 for it. A Lowrey or Wurlitzer of concert size certainly would fetch a decent price, as will a Mellotron, Vox Fender Rhodes or any other older professional keyboard. The models that were designed for home use, the less expensive Lowreys and Conns and even Hammonds can be had quite cheaply. I bought a cheezy Hammond a few years ago for $10. But the models that had decent sound quality and, as the other post mentioned about Dick Hyman's reasons, decent useable features...these still hold some significant value. And we haven't even brought up synthesizers and how much they go for now....

The Warrawong Westfield mall in Wollongong, south of Sydney, has begun playing Crosby's hit "My Heart is Taking Lessons" repeatedly to keep its entrances teenager-free, The Daily Telegraph said. And the tactic appears to be working with teenagers telling the newspaper the "old fogey" music had driven them from their favorite spot outside the complex. "All the people from Warrawong High used to hang here after school - now you don't see them," 14-year-old Matthew Wilson told the daily. The technique could also be used by other communities with the southern Sydney suburb of Kogarah considering blaring Bing to clear loitering teen-agers from public areas. The community is also considering installing pink lighting which clearly shows pimples on teenagers' faces to discourage loitering. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Sonic Youth gear stolen Date: 08 Jul 1999 02:56:31 EDT Eyemote@aol.com wrote: > > > URGENT/SY GEAR STOLEN! > > july 4 1999 LA/Orange County > > > Hello all, this is Lee from Sonic Youth > here, we have had a fucked up situation > come down on us over this last night--a > brand new Ryder truck parked at a Ramada > Inn in Orange County with ALL OF OUR GEAR > IN IT was STOLEN!

A partial answer: The back of the "Music From A Sparkling" Planet" disk lists about 120 TV movies and TV shows, including Magum P.I., that have used Esquival recorded "short mood pieces" recorded for Universal studios in the 1960's. Since then they have been used in 100s of TV soundtracks. INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC mentions "Wrote theme and/or background music" and the credits include Magnum PI. These sources do not tell us that he specifically wrote the theme. Only that his music was used on the TV show.

Date: 08 Jul 1999 15:05:09 -0500 It seems like Nat spent the weekend "living" his film. I say this from the priveleged position of having seen a recent cut of his film on the subject of obsessive record collectors. I have this feeling that the subject of the weekend is one of those collectors Nat interviewed in the film (and there were some mighty strange people he visited). Anyway, I hope all of you someday get to see this film (any film producers on the list may want to drop Nat a line) if anything so you see for yourself that Nat's weekend experience is no exaggeration! I found if funny because I've had similar experiences with a guy I've been buying things from for years. Each year I went back to see him he still wouldn't sell me the one record I wanted, in his words ...just in case I get asked to put together a retrospective of the stuff... Far as I know it's still in his closet! The solution to not falling into the same rut is simple... Throw out your want lists! I know I have maybe 10 or 15 items left on mine and they're all so obscure I never expect to find any of them anyway, so... Still, last weekend's visit to Toronto had me looking in Nat's favourite store but instead of exotica, what do I find but one of my few remaining want list items: The Cornelius Cardew Memorial Concert. I'd actually given up on this one long ago so it was a pleasant surprise. SO again, my advice is stop taking those want lists seriously... you'll feel a large burden lifted from your shoulders. Yeesh, I feel like I'm telling my story for some dependency treatment group!

Conrad Jr., who was the third man to walk on >the moon. OJAI, Calif., July 8 (UPI) -- Charles ``Pete'' Conrad, Jr., the third man to walk on the moon, has been killed in a motorcycle accident. He was 69. The California Highway Patrol reports that Conrad was riding a motorcycle Thursday afternoon when he lost control and ran off the road near Ojai, northwest of Los Angeles. Authorities say Conrad was thrown from the vehicle and suffered massive internal injuries. He died about six hours later at a hospital. Conrad flew four missions for NASA, spending more than 1,180 hours in space. He most visible trip came on Apollo 12, when he became the third man to step on the moon. He also flew two Gemini missions and spent a then-record 28 days in space aboard Skylab 2 in 1973. Most recently, Conrad was working with a company planning to make vacations in space available to the public. Conrad is one of just 12 men to have walked on the moon. His was an almost stereotypical image of a daring, devil-may-care astronaut with a penchant for race cars and water skiing. ``Funny, noisy, colorful, cool, competent; snazzy dresser, race-car driver,'' astronaut Michael Collins wrote describing Conrad. ``One of the few who lives up to the image. Should play Pete Conrad in a Pete Conrad movie.'' Conrad only enhanced that image when he left his spacecraft and stepped onto the lunar surface, saying, ``Whoopee! That may have been one small (step) for Neil (Armstrong), but it's a long one for me!'' In the 1970s, Conrad appeared in a series of television commercials for American Express, asking, ``Do you known me? I walked on the moon.'' ``Up until that time,'' Conrad told author Andrew Chaikin in his 1994 book ``A Man on the Moon,'' ``I could go anywhere, and nobody knew me. I did that American Express commercial, and while that sumbitch was running, I couldn't take a leak -- I remember trying to take a leak in Philadelphia and a guy standing there says 'I know you!''' Conrad was born June 2, 1930, in Philadelphia. He received a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton University in 1953, when he joined the Navy to become a pilot. Conrad attended the Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Md., and later served as a flight instructor and test pilot at the fabled training facility. He was selected to become an astronaut in September 1962. His first flight came on Aug. 21, 1965, when he and Gordon Cooper, one of the original seven astronauts, blasted off aboard Gemini 5. The duo established a space endurance record of 190 hours and 56 minutes in orbit, which pushed the United States ahead of the Soviet Union for the first time in the number of man hours in space for each country. Conrad, Gordon and Alan Bean blasted off aboard Apollo 12 for the second manned flight to the moon on Nov. 14, 1969. With Gordon orbiting overhead in the command module, Conrad and Bean executed a pinpoint touchdown in the moon's Ocean of Storms within a stone's throw of an old robot Surveyor spacecraft that touched down on the lunar surface in April 1967. ``Hey, there it is! There it is! Son of a gun, right down the middle of the road,'' Conrad radioed as the lander, named Intrepid, began its final descent. Conrad was first out of the Intrepid followed moments later by Bean. The two spent seven hours and 45 minutes strolling about, collecting samples of rock and lunar soil, deploying experiment packages and snipping off parts of Surveyor for return to Earth to determine the long-term effects of the lunar environment. Conrad returned to space on May 25, 1973, as commander of the first Skylab space station mission. His crewmates were Joseph Kerwin and Paul Weitz. When the giant space station was launched May 14, 1973, a micrometeoroid shield that also served to reflect heat from the craft ripped away. Compounding the space station's problems, a solar wing was jammed and refused to deploy. But engineers quickly devised a scheme for Conrad's crew to repair the spacecraft. The astronauts were able to erect a blanket-like parasol over the portion of the space station exposed to the sun and they freed the jammed solar panel during a spacewalk. In the end, the crew completed 46 of 55 scheduled experiments before returning to Earth on June 22, 1973. After serving 11 years as an astronaut, Conrad retired and became vice president of American Television and Communications Corp. of Denver. In 1976, the veteran astronaut became a vice president for international sales of McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Corp. and was promoted in 1980 to senior vice president for marketing. From 1991 to 1993, he helped develop and test the DC-X ``Delta Clipper'' reusable rocket, an unmanned, sub-scale prototype of a proposed manned single-stage-to-orbit launcher. His 1953 marriage to former Jane DuBose, ended in divorce. In 1990, he married the former Nancy Fortner, an editor he met on a blind date. Between them, the couple had five grown sons. A sixth, Conrad's youngest, died of cancer in 1990 at age 29. Conrad and his wife lived in Huntington Beach, Calif. OJAI, Calif. (AP) -- Former astronaut Charles P. ``Pete'' Conrad, who in 1969 became the third man to walk on the moon, uttering an exuberant ``Whoopie!'' as he stepped on the lunar surface, died in a motorcycle accident. He was 69. Conrad, who also flew two Gemini missions in the 1960s and commanded first Skylab mission in 1973, crashed on a turn yesterday on Highway 150 near Ojai and died five hours later at Ojai Valley Community Hospital. Conrad, who lived in Huntington Beach near Los Angeles, was on a trip to Monterey with his wife, Nancy, and friends, Ventura County Deputy Coroner James Baroni said. Baroni said Conrad's injuries didn't initially appear to be severe, but he got worse after arriving at the hospital. He had some chest pain and had more trouble breathing. ``He showed that he had some type of internal bleeding and they needed to do exploratory surgery,'' Baroni said. But doctors were unable to revive him. Just this spring, Conrad joked that he was looking forward to the day he would turn 77. ``I fully expect that NASA will send me back to the moon, as they treated Sen. (John) Glenn. And if they don't do otherwise, why, then I'll have to do it myself,'' he declared. Glenn became the oldest person in space at age 77 aboard the shuttle Discovery last year. Like Glenn, Conrad's passion for space exploration never diminished. In 1995, he formed several companies with the goal of commercializing space. ``He was going back to space as an entrepreneur, trying to create ways for rockets to launch inexpensively and manage satellites,'' Mrs. Conrad said Thursday evening. NASA selected Conrad, an aeronautical engineer and Navy test pilot, as an astronaut in 1962, three years after the first seven astronauts were announced. He piloted the eight-day Gemini 5 mission in 1965, which set an endurance record in orbiting the earth. A year later, Conrad commanded Gemini 11, which docked with another craft during orbit and set a space altitude record of 850 miles. As commander of the Apollo 12 mission in November 1969, Conrad earned the distinction of being the third man to walk on the moon after bringing the lunar module down in the moon's Ocean of Storms. The first two moonwalkers were Neil Armstrong and Edwin ``Buzz'' Aldrin, who landed there 30 years ago this month, on July 20, 1969. Armstrong's first words became famous: ``That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.'' When the 5-foot-6 Conrad stepped onto the surface four months later, he exclaimed with his trademark sense of humor: ``Whoopie! That may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me.'' Conrad and astronaut Alan Bean spent seven hours and 45 minutes on the lunar surface. Among their tasks was installing a nuclear power generating station to provide a power source for long-term experiments. During the 28-day Skylab flight in May-June 1973, Conrad established a personal endurance record for time in space by bringing his total flight time to 1,179 hours and 38 minutes. He called his last mission in space the most satisfying, working to repair the damage Skylab suffered during its liftoff. After retiring from NASA and the Navy in 1973, he worked as chief operating officer of American Television and Communications Corp. in Denver and later for McDonnell Douglas Corp., the aviation manufacturer. Among his numerous awards were the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, two NASA Distinguished Service Medals, two NASA Exceptional Service Medals, two Navy Distinguished Service Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses. He was enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in 1980. The Philadelphia native is the third of the 12 original moon walkers to die. James Irwin of Apollo 15 died in 1991 and Alan Shepard of Apollo 14 died a year ago. In reflecting on the upcoming 30th anniversary of Apollo 11, Conrad recently said, ``Time flies when you're having fun, and I've been having fun for the last 30 years.'' Conrad, who divorced his first wife, is survived by his second wife, three sons and seven grandchildren. A son preceded him in death. Funeral arrangements were pending. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) Tiki site Date: 09 Jul 1999 17:20:57 +0200 Jane Fondle wrote: > Wow, can you buy mugs there?

Good environs, nice decor, very Polynesian - coconuts, bamboo, grass skirts (not on the help tho') and mugs. I do not recall if they sold mugs - not my gig. Food is Ok if not too expensive and the service is definitely throwback. Each meal includes a waiter, a server, a busser, a wine guy, a bread guy, a "get a new napkin" guy, and many others I did not know what they did. We must have had 6 or 7 different people serve, wait, ask or deliver food and various other items. They didn't have music at lunch and I did not notice any announcements for entertainment, but then again I wasn't looking. Overall - Medium tiki experience.

I'm a Bostonian from '82 to '93 I think my first visit to the Tiki Lagoon/ Volcano Bay room was mid '80s and it looked pretty much as you see it in the picture. The front of the restaurant has changed with the times (adding a Thai sub-restaurant) but this part of the place is as I remember it. I always liked the thatched hut that stands in the middle of the room and the volcanos off on the horizon, plus the outer Edifice Rex, is a true thing to behold. -Roy # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Indy Rutks" Subject: RE: (exotica) Electro-Lounge Date: 09 Jul 1999 11:01:58 -0500 cheryl wrote: > I saw a CD today that looked quite intriguing - it's called > "Electro-Lounge", and appears to be remixes and cut-ups of all the > exotica "standards" (Quiet Village, Caravan, etc.) by well-known > electronica artists.

I have yet to hear one of his albums on the Coral label that I don't like, and "Pick A Polka" is on my all-time favorites list (mostly for one loopy cut... "Chicken Polka"). The early Welk records sound a lot like the music in old Terrrytoons (Heckle and Jeckyl, Mighty Mouse, Gandy Goose, et al). Lots of eastern European sounding clarinets, peppy accordians and the weirdest organ sound this side of the Three Suns. As a kid I was lucky enough to meet old Lawrence.

I will report that the last few visits to Vic's Atlanta have me wondering when that watering hole will close. Vic's Atlanta is in the "basement" of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Atlanta. Now downtown Atlanta is, believe it or not, off the beaten path. You have to be going to the Hilton (or Vic's) to get there. You don't pass by Vic's on your way to anywhere. And this has resulted in the place being dead the last few time we have gone. They do sell mugs at the Atlanta Vic's but you have to ask. The last time the bartender told me, "I don't know if we sell the mugs or not. No one ever asked." She checked with her manager and he said I could have all I wanted at 4 bucks a piece. I spent about 60 bucks on mugs. As a side note: There is a mug that I call the "Fornication Mug" that has whitish men chasing "island-ish" women and engaging them in various acts of "merriment". (it's not real graphic so don't get all excited) Anyway, the mug has "Trader Vic's 63" on the bottom which means the mugs were designed (not made) in 1963. There are Ebay sellers touting these as mugs as MADE in 1963 (Ooo! Vintage!!) and the bidding usually tops 40 bucks!!! So be careful if you are still adding to your mug collection. Back to the report, the Vic's Atlanta is beautifully decorated and the Chinese oven always smells spectacular. Still the place is deserted. Additionally, most of the people staying at the Hilton (usually for conventions) go out of the hotel to eat. Most aren't convinced that the hotel they are staying at would have a good restaurant. Plus, the food is expensive. I don't think there is a dinner entree under 20 bucks. And appetizers are over $ 10.00. Final note, many of the people I see there when I go are sporting Hawaiian shirts and obviously know the Vic's experience. Tiki Bob ALWAYS wears tiki-ish garb to Vic's and exchanges a thumbs up sign to similarly clad patrons. A nod of approval is always reciprocated. Hope this was helpful for those following this thread.

In December 1938, _Mercury Theatre_ was picked up by Campbell Soup and became _Campbell Playhouse_. The site includes five programs from _Campbell Playhouse_ (with plans to add more gradually) as well as a seven-part radio series of _Les Miserables_ that was written, produced, and directed by Orson Welles in 1937, and featured many of the _Mercury_ players.

I am constantly finding even hardcore Tiki collecting types who don't know it is there. I wouldn't say it is that remote, certainly not from my midtown apartment where I can see the Hilton from my sunroom, but it is in an area where most people don't think to go at night. I have had several great experiences there but recently, over the past couple of months, I have seen the service and professionalism of the staff deteriorate rapidly. Most drinks are no longer served in mugs, the larger drinks will be served in ceramic conch shells and the regular ones in glass tumblers or Collins glasses. Their sale cabinet is unstocked and I can no longer buy mugs, ash trays, plates, drink mixes or, really, anything. Since my favorite bartender (Becky) quit the bar staff is unreliable and undertrained (the day when I have to tell a Trader Vics bartender how to make a Mai Tai from scratch is a dark one) and table service has become terrible (I had a 45 wait for a botched drink order last weekend). I will give them one more chance but I have gone from demanding that all of my friends go with me to being hesitant to recommend it to anybody new. -- Paul McKay Assistant Engineer Institute of Paper Science and Technology 500 10TH ST NW ATLANTA, GA 30318 PHONE: (404) 894-8389 FAX: (404) 894-4778 paul.mckay@ipst.edu # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bump Subject: Re: (exotica) Electro-Lounge Date: 09 Jul 1999 16:15:44 -0400 No, it is really mostly all electro with minimal lounge. but its diamond in the rough (and why i still own it) is the excellent experimental jungle/trip hop cover of SWAY with Dean Martin and Julie London.

"I hope he has a good lawyer," Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said, even though Milosevic's club is actually named "Madona." LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Former teen idol Leif Garrett showed up in court a day early in hopes of avoiding jail time on cocaine and heroin charges. Garrett, 37, was scheduled to be arraigned this morning, but he and his attorney made a surprise appearance in court late yesterday. They asked the court to order a report to determine Garrett's eligibility for a diversion program that would mean drug counseling instead of jail time. A judge set an Aug. 13 hearing. The former child actor and '70s singing sensation was one of several people arrested June 29 during a sting at an apartment building known for drug activity. He was charged with cocaine and heroin possession. He is free on $10,000 bail. Garrett recently finished work on a film called ``Art of the Bullet,'' scheduled for release next month. LONDON (AP) -- After more than two decades of unwed and perhaps never-really-wedded togetherness, Rolling Stone lead singer Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall announced Friday that they are seeking to have their marriage annulled.

A "Zombie" is 21.-DM now, which is 11,35 US $. I really like to know the price of the the Zombie in America, and ask for your help, US-listees, but I doubt it can be that much. Second: There are only two mugs left, that you could relate to the original idea of Tiki/Exotica mugs; this skull cup for the hot drinks and the harbor light mug. All others have entirely disappeared. Third: The music played on that evening was like the lowest point in all Trader Vic's history: It was the horrible Gipsy Kings ("Bandolero", "Volare") played over and over again. We heard the same terrible songs for about 5 times. I talked to the Indonesian guy, who had been at this TrV's since the beginning in 1972 and he agreed with my complaints and told me the new chief had directed these changes and in fact prohibited the playing of Hawaiian music. Of course the Munich Trader Vic's doesn't even have a Happy Hour. I guess that's what happens if a place is too successful and when the people who run it are complete ignorants. I guess I have to do something about the text about this place in my homepage.

"Jean-Jacques Perrey was one half of the Perrey/Kingsley duo that, most famously, brought us In Sound from Way Out (later parodied by the Beastie Boys, etc...) and on his own, the track 'E.V.A.' (later re-fashioned by Fatboy Slim, covered by something known as 'Sure is Pure', etc...) as well as recent collabs w/"French Band Air". Strangely enough, this is a collection of music previously only available as a 'function music' (i.e. music for business presentations, airline commercials, Stanley Kubrick movies, radio plays (post Orson, natch), pagan rituals, etc...) LP series entitled Sonosyntheses Electriques (which, incidentally, are rare). Perhaps not quite as 'punk' as the Perrey/Kingsley set, but still highly enjoyable/cheeky through the use of all that trademark obsolete technology (Ondes Martenot, Ondioline, Moog, Marimba) that the youth oh so love. I'll spare you all the anecdote about Jean Cocteau/Edith Piaf aiding in Perrey's departure to the US." -- Hrvatski. $16.00 _____________________________________________ PHILIPS (FRANCE): HENRY, PIERRE: Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent CD (PHI 456293). Fabulously desirable reissue of the most infamous Henry piece of them all. "Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent" was music for ballet that was originally recorded in 1967 in association with Michel Colombier. Henry supposedly commissioned Colombier "to recreate the sound textures and violent atmosphere of certain American films." Colombier's music is a variation of fun psychedelic rock from the time, but Henry added "jerks" -- electronic effects and rhythmic cells in response to the work that make for spectacular listening and a fascinating combination of the high and low brow. His electronic sounds from this piece have been heavily sampled in recent years and the hit track on here ("Psyche Rock") is really something to behold. Recently, a very high profile remix project of "Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent" has been issued by Philips (on FRRR in the US even!) in honor of this works' legendary status, featuring tracks from the album remixed by the likes of Coldcut, William Orbit, Dimitri From Paris, Fatboy Slim, Tek 9, etc. In addition, this CD also contains the following Henry electronic works: "La Reine Verte" (excerpt) & "Le Voyage" (1962) -- "It's a piece about how to approach death and the sounds I use to convey this idea are inspired by zen. They are dream-like and meditative and heighten the listener's awareness." -- Henry. Also included: an excerpt of "Variations Pour Une Porte Et Un Soupir" (full version available on Harmonia Mundi HMA 1905200). $28.00 HENRY, PIERRE: Remixe Sa Dixi=E8me Symphonie CD (PHI 462821). "'In 1979 I composed a symphony titled: "10th Symphony of Beethoven". On the basis of the Beethoven-symphony durations I ended to the my way, by a destructuration of the 9 symphonies. Not does not have a musicologic analysis of the characteristics and constants of the writing of Beethoven updated the trajectories, the possible links, the connections, the bridges of a symphony has the other. By the assembly and the mixtures I introduced times of resolution or of frustration, of prolongation or climate, cycles, repetitions and counterpoints per guns, finally, an approach similar has that of my works. The notes of Beethoven became concrete sounds; I did them my way. Beethoven always fascinated me because he invented melody-in-little-of-notes, very strong melody, as strong as a thunder clap, as a tidal wave, as a siren of fog. It has presented the dramatization of the sounds; in A carves the thickness. Today the 10th Symphony remix, it is the 10th Symphony with rhythms has me, current: a faster rhythmicity, with beats, fright electronic, flutters dephases, mobilities of filters, additions of frequencies, doublings of reverberation. Beethoven is amplified by depassment his orchestra, made more dramatic, more human. Today it is also the scenario of an imaginary film which is the frame of this "10th Symphony remix." Remix, for me, it is to strike, with wanted dynamics, a new radical sound speech. A new adventure meaning the current function of the type-setter in the company.' -- Pierre Henry. A curious addition to the Henry oeuvre, speculated by some as his personalattempt in cashing in on all of that Modulations screen-time through the addition of a certain 'Jackin'' (albeit a distant & foggy 'Jackin'') to the mix. Really, really strange." -- Hrvatski. $28.00 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) ATC on SUSHI 4004 Date: 10 Jul 1999 21:11:23 EDT >A new compilation called Sushi Four-Thousand-Four didn't that come out last year?? my copy of it has a date of 1998 and I've had it for at least 6 months? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) ATC on SUSHI 4004 Date: 10 Jul 1999 21:11:23 EDT >A new compilation called Sushi Four-Thousand-Four didn't that come out last year?? my copy of it has a date of 1998 and I've had it for at least 6 months? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: Re: (exotica) Phase 4-- are they worth it?? Date: 11 Jul 1999 09:05:39 -0500 Hi Nicola-- I can't vouch for any of the Phase 4 Frank Chacksfield CD rereleases you mentioned, but I can tell you about Phase 4 and another Chacksfield LP I think is worth picking up. Here's what the liner notes say on Chacksfield's "Foreign Film Festival" (London SP 44112). Phase 4 was London Records' audiophile label from the mid-60s: glossy gatefold jackets, star orchestras and top-flight arrangements by some of the best in the business; think of them as a counterpart to the US Command line. Featured Ros, Stanley Black, Chacksfield. In the race to perfect stereo recording and fidelity, London had a 10-channel console mixer custom-built in 1961. It wasn't enough for the obsessed London engineers; they wanted better sound. They got it with stereo spectacular records unleashed on an unsuspecting world in 63 under the Phase 4 brand name, like RCA's "Living Stereo". Phase 4s were mixed on London's exclusive 20-channel console, which did great things to fidelity: gleeful engineers could capture and combine 20 separate sources and position each one as they pleased. Sound got positioned to the extreme left or right and every point in between, and conductors gained greater flexibility in placement of instruments in an orchestra. Alas, LPs no longer had those cool little diagrams of instruments in the recording studio, like the one on Cates' fabulous Polynesian Percussion record -- boo hoo. I dig those drawings. But the Phase 4 sound is terrific. I really hear this on the Chacksfield Foreign Film LP, arrangements by Roland Shaw. About half the tracks I dig because of the themes or the instrumentation. Tasty marimba on Umbrellas of Cherbourg and A Man and a Woman, a pretty good James Bond theme with a nice guitar bit. My favs tho are The Good, the Bad & the Ugly and The Dark of the Sun -- way groovy organ, a Novachord maybe? It's got a whiney sound, like the organ on the 60s hit Telstar. A good mix of moods on the record, too. Lara's Theme sucks -- strings so sugary they could draw ants to a picnic. Another Phase 4 is a favorite: A Ted Heath percussion LP ( his second percussion record, can't recall the name) with a Cherokee guaranteed to peel your scalp off your skull. Also have a Ros LP with doesn't stand out much. Let me know if you'd want tapes of any of these. Maybe that will help you decide to buy or not.

I've got four different dials to work with and I have no idea what to do to get the best sound and put the least amount of stress on my records. We're looking at a height of the tonearm dial, a fine and coarse adjustment for the tonearm counterweight, and also the anti-skating dial. Not to mention just general needle placement an alignment in the head of the tonearm. I have some docs that came with the needle, but which are very technical. I'm looking more for a why, record-wise and sound-wise, as well as a how. So I can see if I done it right. Thanks, Peter PS: I was getting distortion for a while, because it was too light.

Some of the arrangements are duds, but some are great with marimbas, electric bass. I wouldn't spend the money for CDs of these, but for $3 or $4, in good shape, they are really good sounding and enjoyable LPs. Regarding Chacksfield, I would avoid. To me his records are dull.

I've got three Edmundo Ros Phase4 albums which I enjoy: Bongos from the South London SP 44003 Dance Again London SP 44015 Arriba London SP 44080 Are there other Ros Lps? Chacksfield is pretty sappy stuff in general, but I've found on phase 4 there is usually something of interest on his LPs. I just wouldn't pay very much for his albums. I got his TV themes album (I never turn down a TV themes album) and found maybe two selections interesting. I just got the secret agents phase4 LP by Roland Shaw and it is pretty good! Some of the Ronnie Aldrich LPs are cool, some not. Same with Stanley Black and Werner Muller. I found the Johnny Keating LPs more consistantly interesting to me. My general philosophy is...if you find a phase4 LP that looks interesting and is cheap, buy it. It might very well have at least a couple of cuts which are really good...or the entire album.

(The = cover says they are "the most celebrated actors of stage, radio, and = television in Cairo, Paris, London and Hamburg" but they dont say who = they are.) By the descrption on the backcover i find it is the featured = music and words from an early multimedia event (1961) at the Giza = plateue. "Son et Lumiere" Quite exotic, the music sounds a bit like the = music from thrillers/horror movies from that era. at least if they are = set in an exotic environment. picture a soundtrack to a lowbudget "the = Mummy"... Delerue... Didnt he make the music to "Robot monster" too? I bought it at an antigue shop, i wanted two "7 singles and this one. = The seller looked at the eqyptian record with much interest, it gave me = a bad feeling he wasnt willing to sell it but when i told him "Its from = Egypt, it looks funny" and then laughed nervously, playing an innocent = tourist, he let me have it for the same price as the singles. approx $1 One of the singles was nearly as weird. Its from 67 and has a big flower = made out of old inner computer parts, psychedelic looking.The music is = played by the central processor of a GE-115 Computer, (which probably = back then was as big as a house). Side A has classical works and side B = contains original music, or what it can be called. I love it. It was = issued in italy by general electric and was probably given as a = christmas gift from the company. Very early computer nusic indeed, from = a time when computer music sounded SciFi. Ouuuuueeeeeeeeeeee U U = uuuuuouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE Be be ebeb Other purchases Frankie Stein and his ghouls -"Shock!

Most expensive Lp i = have bought in quite some time paid aprx $25 for it nearly mint. But = in fact I find that cheap for records like that. A 50s brazilian Mambo compilation LP "mambo mucho mambo" with Cugat = Machito and Belmonte. Flute nightmare by Cugat was great exotica.

He died Thursday from respiratory failure and pneumonia, two weeks after being honored during a ceremony designating the former site of his nightclub -- Leo's Casino -- as an historic rock-and-roll landmark. Warwick told the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer the nightclub gained national prominence during the 1960s and early 1970s among black singers and comedians. ``Leo was the reason a lot of us worked. When times were tough, he made sure we all had jobs. ``Everyone who became anything passed through Leo's Casino.'' Numerous artists rearranged their schedules to attend last month's ceremony, including Jerry ``Iceman'' Butler, Chuck Jackson and Martha Reeves. The Plain Dealer said that between 1963 and 1972, musical acts such as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, the Supremes, the Temptations and the Four Tops all performed at Frank's nightclub. It was at Leo's Casino that Otis Redding gave his last performance before being killed in a plane crash in 1967. The club also served aso a springboard for comics such as Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson and Redd Foxx. Dick Gregory once called Leo's Casino ``the most fully integrated nightclub in America.'' Frank is survived by his wife of 22 years, Sharon, a son, two daughters and three grandsons. *Ronny Graham LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ronny Graham, who wrote episodes of ``M-A-S-H'' and ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show,'' died Sunday. He was 79. Graham also collaborated with Mel Brooks on such films as ``The Inquisition,'' ``History of the World, Part I,'' ``Spaceballs'' and ``To Be or Not to Be.'' *Angus MacDonald LONDON (AP) -- Pipe Major Angus MacDonald, considered one of the world's best bagpipers, died June 25. He was 60. The place and cause of death were not given. MacDonald won the prestigious title Piobaire Os Cionn Chaich, or ``piper above all others'' in 1981. Throughout his 27-year military career in the Scots Guards, MacDonald served as household piper to Queen Elizabeth II, a personal piper to the governor of Edinburgh Castle and a senior instructor at the Army School of Piping. MacDonald was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1983. *Helen Forrest LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Helen Forrest, who sang with big bands from Artie Shaw to Benny Goodman, died Sunday of heart failure. She was 82. Ms. Forrest was ``the most famous of all the big band singers'' and recorded more than 500 songs, said Alan Eichler, her publicist. Among her best-known recordings were ``All the Things You Are,'' with Shaw; ``The Man I Love,'' with Goodman and ``I Don't Want to Walk Without You'' and ``I Had the Craziest Dream,'' with Harry James. She also teamed with Dick Haymes on popular recordings and a long-running radio show. Ms. Forrest -- born Helen Fogel in Atlantic City, N.J. -- also appeared in the 1940s films ``Private Buckaroo,'' ``Bathing Beauty,'' ``Springtime in the Rockies,'' and ``Best Foot Forward.'' In 1940, she gained some notoriety for recording with Lionel Hampton's band. ``Back then, for a white singer to record with a black orchestra was very unusual,'' Eichler said. Ms. Forrest also made some waves when she replaced Billie Holliday as the vocalist for Shaw in 1938. For a while before Ms. Holliday left to start a solo career, both women sang for the band and took their places on the bandstand. When some theater operators required the black singer to stay off stage until performance time, Ms. Forrest announced she would do the same. ``She wanted Billie to have the same rights she had,'' Eichler said. ---------------------------- HAVANA, July 10 (AFP) - Marcelo Ricardo Chacon, believed to be the most tattooed man in the world, died here at age 77 after a heart attack, the newspaper Juventad Rebelde said Saturday. A native of Pueblo Nuevo, 100 kilometers (60 miles) east of here, the man known as "Chacon el Taino" came to the capital wanting to become a sailor. His entire body was tattooed with political, cultural and social events that he witnessed from Casa Blanca -- a small, rough and colorful neighborhood on Havana Bay. Although he never professed a faith, in last years of life he cheered those who did, wearing his many necklaces and bracelets and playing his tumbadora (drum) near the Cathedral Plaza in Old Havana. Chacon willed all his savings to child-care center in his neighborhood, the newspaper said. Some of his neighbors have expressed an interest in turning his small house into a museum to preserve his necklaces and musical instruments, among other mementos. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: (exotica) Better living thru hi-fi (was phase 4) Date: 12 Jul 1999 10:41:40 -0500 =46rank said >BTW, I recently came upon a mono version on a phase 4 recordin= g ( sound 4 ) >...what's the point?

The government is considering the petition to bury Brown at Heroes Park, Local Government Minister Arnold Bertram said Friday. Earlier this week, Prime Minister P.J. Patterson said the government would help pay for the funeral, which is scheduled for July 17. Brown died of pneumonia on July 1 at the age of 42. Dubbed the ``crown prince of reggae,'' he rose to prominence during the 1970s wave of reggae singers that included Bob Marley, who introduced the musical form to listeners worldwide. Brown released a string of hits, beginning with ``No Man is an Island,'' which he recorded in 1969 at the age of 12. The last person to be buried at Heroes Park was former Prime Minister Michael Manley, the son of Jamaica's founding father, who died two years ago. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: tosh@loop.com (Tosh) Subject: (exotica) The Knack Date: 12 Jul 1999 09:25:01 -0700 (PDT) I just saw Richard Lester's The Knack last night.

I've got four different dials to work with and I have no idea what to do to get the best sound and put the least amount of stress on my records. We're looking at a height of the tonearm dial, a fine and coarse adjustment for the tonearm counterweight, and also the anti-skating dial. Not to mention just general needle placement an alignment in the head of the tonearm. Here's some badly written advice... this question comes up frequently in alt.music.makers.dj and occasionally in rec.music.collecting.vinyl... You need to find out the recommended tracking force for the needle first. E.g. for mine (Stanton 500ALs) it's between 3 and 4gms. Too little or too much and there's increased wear on the grooves (as well as distortion on high notes if it's too little). Not sure how other turntables work, but if the arm weight is removable and has a rotating ring with markings (like Technics 1200s) then you need to balance the arm so it 'floats' over the record perfectly level. Set the ring, without moving the weight, to '0' and then you can increase the weight by rotation to whatever the specified level is for the cartridge. Anti-skating balances the force on the needle that pulls it inwards, towards the centre. The markings I've seen are in grams, and should be set to the same as the arm weight. (or 0 for scratching ;) Anti-skating evens out the wear between both groove walls, and also should help prevent that nasty 'lurch' towards the centre when you lower the stylus into the run-in groove. Position of the cartridge in the headshell lines the point of the stylus perpendicular to the direction of the moving groove, i.e. so the curved groove appears to be straight to the stylus (imagine the bottom point on a circle to be a straight line where it meets the floor?) Height ring - adjusts the arm so that the very tip of the stylus (the diamond point) is perpendicular to the horizontal plane (i.e. the record). Too much and it will lean forwards, too little and it will slope backwards. You can do this by eye roughly. Alternatively the instruction manual for the turntable should have a list of height settings depending on the height of the cartridge. You can find out the cartridge height, hopefully, along with the recommended arm weight. The best sound will come from the needle being perfectly (evenly) lined up in all these aspects. It's a case of using your eyes rather than ears for this. The needle being evenly set up will also give the minimum level of wear. Needles: come in spherical and eliptical. Eliptical supposedly have better sound, but increased wear, especially if the records have already been played a lot with sphericals, so you won't get the better sound possibly. Hope this helps a little. Hopefully someone else can do a more coherent job. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Dick Shawn Date: 12 Jul 1999 14:13:52 EDT In a message dated 07/12/99 8:09:22 AM Eastern Daylight Time, m.sandberg@telia.com writes: << Long time since I saw the tiresome Its a mad mad mad world, and I dont remember Dick Shawn at all.

Supposedly it was to feature many album covers, etc. Anyone? Anyone? On another note... my CD making capabilities have firmly gotten on the good foot. COMPLETED TITLES INCLUDE: HUGO MONTENEGRO - Best Of (2 discs touching upon all essential Hugo...) WEIRDO BEATLES - (2 Discs) A set of the strangest Beatle interpretations I could find, including tunes by WIlliam Shatner, Laibach, Hugo Montenegro, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler(!) Enoch Light, Phil Collins, Mystic Moods Orchestra, Santo & Johnny, Karl Swobodian and many more favorites.(Features nothing from the recent George Martin release, but I can imagine a future volume will... Jim Carey and Goldie Hawn singing Beatles tunes?) FREEKY DEEKY - (1 Disc) "Very Bad Music" Volume 1 - Features tunes from Mr. T (!), WIlliam Shatner, Telly Savalas, Anthony Newley, MECO, L Ron Hubbard and more! ROBO ELECTRIC CHEESE - (1 Disc) Great moog inspired stomping robot disco featuring Girorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Space, Hot Butter, Munich Orchestra and more. NOIR Volume 1 - (1 Disc) Features a nice introduction into the music of cloak & dagger, dames, private dicks, spies and noir. Includes John Barry, Henry Mancini, Warren Barker, Al Caiola, Clebanoff, Barry Adamson, Toldeo, Alvino Rey, Angelo Badalamenti and many more. Website is coming soon... In the Works Titles include: L. RON HUBBARD - "Space Jazz" b/w YARS REVENGE ATARI 2600 LP. The L Ron Scientology LP has got to be the weirdest record I own... it's just sick... it's being paired with a Sci-Fi kids record that tied in with the Yars Revenge Atari Video game back in 1982.

I'd go so far as to say that this is my favorite Barry soundtrack. No others of his that I've heard are consistently this good.(I say this at the risk of committing a Bond sacrilege, but you'd have to admit the Bond soundtracks simply are not as "jazzy" as the Knack.) Although, he does that typical soundtrack-arrangers crutch in that there are really only about two or three themes, and all the subsequent tracks (cues) are variations on these themes.

I've always wanted this album after first seeing it in the Incredibly Strange Music book and now I own a pristine copy. It is however, a little bit of a letdown. I suppose I was expecting a little more "experimental" use of these surplus store items. The album is pretty much easy jazz with one or two common items basically used as percussion instruments. I mean how many times do you wanna listen to a sandpaper-scrubbrush effect that really doesn't sound too far removed from a recognized percussion instrument? Okay I'm being hard on this lp, it is after all a pretty darn cool album. It's funny how after getting an album that you've craved for many years without ever having heard that it can let you down when you finally hear it, simply because you've built up this expectation of how great it *could* be. Along these lines (sort of) but more contemporary - Has any one heard that "Chainsaw Orchestra " (or some such name) album that came out two or three years ago? I'm curious.

The cover features a very un-Hawaiian babe, blonde hair blue eyes, standing in some "jungle " foliage with Aloha Hawaii in big yellow-orange letters to the right. So now you know what to look for , chances are that in your grimy thrift store scavenging that you've come across this and passed up on it as merely another cheesy budget Hawaiian album. I think I have before myself, luckily a friend of mine, Jon, pointed out two tracks on this album that are not merely outstanding, but perhaps the most fucked up "Hawaiian" songs ever! (Okay Frank, easy with those superlatives.) Two songs on this album " Hawaiian Holiday" and " Hawaiian Starlight" are the obvious original material filler tracks on this otherwise fairly pedestrian Hawaiian album. These two songs represent a genre unto themselves which I can only describe as Hawaii-abilly! Yes, Rockabilly meets Hawaiian!! What a concept I think that the more daring of these new rockabilly bands should actively pursue this idea. "Hawaiian Starlight", the more straightforward of the two is the perfect melding of a rockabilly guitar sound to an uptempo Hawaiian melody, think Hawaiian War Bop, and you'll have a good idea. The other tune "Hawaiian Starlight" defies description, I still have to ask a drummer friend of mine tell me if they are actually playing in time or just screwing up the rhythm on purpose. On top of that "rhythm" you have the rockabilly sounding guitar as in the other tune but on top of that is a vocalist who makes mockery of the Hawaiian language in the most mind boggling way! Again the rockabilly style comes to mind, but imagine this style of singing, glottal stops and all, but with some totally incomprehensible words spewing out! I am still shaking my head in blissful wonderment....whew.

Ennio Morricone -- Le Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene on DagoRed. A new one, A beautiful pressing on really nice heavy vinyl. It restores your faith in vinyl, sorry to come over all trainspotter, but it really is a joy to hold this record. And even better its a good record, ranging from excellent Italian pop and go-go music to atonal space orchestration something like Art Mineo's 'Man in Space with Sounds' meets 'Get Carter'. Gershon Kingsley -- music to Moog by. Another new one, another nice pressing. I think we've heard all about the contents. Well worth having. Onto the second handers: Andre Penazzi -- orgao, samba, percussao vol 3. A tip from Christian Courtis, to follow up on my Ed Lincoln enquiries. Injected for Super Sound, it looks like it should be a Super Stereo Action type record, especially with all the technical info on the back, but no, its in mono (by the way, I also saw a phase 4 mono record last week). I should say its from about 1960, its hard to tell, groovy stuff, not too heavy on the percussion, and not the same thick kitchen sink style organ as Ed Lincoln, but a very nice record. Michel Legrand -- The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Phillips Connoisseur Collection. Mono. I was very disappointed with this. One Nice swinging/crime jazz number, and the main theme. I didn't enjoy the rest at all. I've offered it to Arjan, but if anyone else wants it they can have it. Lee Hazlewood -- Houston. Not much to say. Lee, country style, not too gravely. Houston and his own spine chilling Fridays Child. Another good one. Harry Stoneham -- Hammond My Way. More organs - lovely. My Way taken at breakneck speed in a super cheesy style. This has some real high spots for me. On Contour rather than Studio 2. Didn't get into any charity shops, maybe at the weekend.

You have to remember that Stanley Kraemer assembled about 100 well know actors/actresses for this movie. The final version runs about 3 hours but the original version Kraemer wanted to show was about 5 hours. A buddy of mine and I would kill to see those extra two hours. It was a return to slap schtick comedy that have been absent in the US for about 25 years. At the time, this movie was well received because of this. And all the actors as mentioned above. Sorry if we disagree on this one -- I really do think it is a funny, not to mention artful, movie. And Ethel Merman's loud mouth is just so typical of the obnoxious mother-in-law that so many American males despise (this MUST be universal). When she hits the banana peel at the end and makes the room full of men, all with tremendous pain and consequences from breaking the law, break up laughing it is just classic. At one point someone calls Ethel Merman an "old bag" and Dick Shawn say, "Hey! That's my mama you're talking about." It just strikes many as being funny. And it is the way he says it. Oh well. Maybe it is a culture (or my case a lack of culture) thing.

IIRC, one is called something like "The Jokers", the brothers being Crawford and Oliver Reed, who steal the crown jewels as a stunt. And that one is a Michael Winner film! (Scary, no? But it's pretty good.) Crawford is probably (still) best known in Britain for his role as Frank Spencer in the once hugely popular sit-com "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em", in which he played a gormless idiot who was a walking disaster area that drove people nuts (lots of demolition, stunts, slapstick humour, etc.). So he has a completely different image over here, I guess. They've just started repeating 'em. But more on-topically, there's another Crawford-Barry link. Crawford was in the stage show "Billy", a musical adaptation of "Billy Liar", the music for which was written by one Mr. John Barry. And, yes, there is an LP of it. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Re: Enjoyed your web page Date: 13 Jul 1999 10:12:39 EDT Thought the List might like this In a message dated 07/13/99 8:06:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time, USAKOWLOON writes: << Subj: Re: Enjoyed your web page Date: 07/13/99 8:06:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: USAKOWLOON To: Rcbrooksod Tiki Bob Thank-you for the kind words and for informing your friends of our Web Page.

I know exactly the tracks you are talking about! Totally wigged! But as long-lost listee Tony Wilds first pointed out, that session has gotten spread around on about 20 different budget hawaiian albums, under numerous alleged band names and album titles. I have the same tracks as by "Jonnie Aluani" on Pirouette and "Lani Scott" on Acorn--where paradoxially, the cover photo shows shows a couple of afro-carribean babes. I've always suspected that the "hawaiian" vocal on that one track is just some Nashville session man liquored out of his noggin.

Date: 13 Jul 1999 13:54:10 -0400 ack! I admit it! I lurk! put down the flashlight! heehee hmmm. Picking just ONE, is difficult, but some of my favorites include (and forgive me, my vinyl collection is 700 miles away right now) "OOPS! There Comes A Smile" - Jim and Tammy Bakker. Yep, the original terrifying PTL Club children's album. Imagine my glee when I recently heard Tammy Faye singing "Jesus takes a frown, and turns it upside down..." on Talk Soup a few months back. My ex didn't believe I had a full recording of it. Now she knows better. :) "The Coming War With Russia According To The Bible" - Dr. Jack Van Impe. I'm still waiting for this war. This album came out in 1950something. Still in the original shrink wrap! **I promise, its not all religious recordings, though I have a certain fondness for some of the more outlandish ones*** "Bagels and Bongos" - Irving Fields. Traditional Jewish melodies, with a latin beat! Who can resist "Havana Negila"? "Saturday Night Fiedler" - Arthur Fiedler. "Disco music is the music of the FUTURE!" proclaim the liner notes. and finally, one I cannot recall the title of. I just remember the bit from the liner notes: "What will the music of the future sound like in 1976????" A lot of playing about with the stereo channels, and "full guitar orchestras!". Fun stuff. While I'm in a posting frenzy, here..... I believe I owe someone on this list a copy of the Vangelis Blade Runner score.

Alohabilly! Here are some other LPs/aliases of the mystery Country & Pacifica guitarist. Like Ross, I knew exactly who Frank was talking about and like Wade I say Find it. Buy it. Love it. No matter who the jacket says recorded these stripped down steel and uke/guitar tracks. No percussion though. Leni Okehu & His Surfboarders Hawaiian Holiday Grand Prix Good for Hawaiian People Eater, Hawaiian Rock (the fake lyrics tune) and Hawaiian War Chant Luke Leilani & His Hawaiians Heavenly Hawaii Spin-O-Rama Heavyed with Alohabilly cuts, including Hawaiian Blues, Lovely Guitar, Hawaiian Bounce, Swinging Palm Trees, and Guitar Chant Luke Leilani & His Hawaiian Delights Hawaiian Delights Spin-O-Rama Same tunes as Heavenly Hawaii except for a cover of the theme for the movie Hawaii. Johnny Lei Orchestra Red Sails in the Sunset Diplomat The fake lyrics song called Hawaiian Rock elsewhere is titled Holiday in Hawaii here. Seems Diplomat just tossed together a hodgepodge of copyright free music. Grass Skirt Swing and Hawaiian War chant would get people 2-steppin' at a Texas dance hall. Dancing Surf sounds like Le Jazz Hot. Some other rockabilly flavored cuts by other musicians: The Oahu Serenaders Hawaiian Holiday Golden Tone Johnny Poi & His Surfboarders (best name!) Hawaii Calling Grand Prix Hawaiian Islanders Hello Hawaii Golden Tone/Evon I'll buy anything that's vaguely Hawaiian, but these are not to be missed.
