Try combining ANY fruit juices - I like Cran-Raspberry with a splash of lime cordial mixed with a bit of pineapple-coconut drink and served over ice garnished with slices of nectarine. Add a bit of vodka if you a drinker. Fruit juice comb-cocktails are endless. But the above is the MINGO-GO - or the VIRGIN MINGO-GO for you! Also, on the beer front.

I would also like to find more Francis Lai as well. But I'm looking for instrumentals without the spoken french. I don't speak french, so having something with a lot of french vocals on it, wouldn't be a part of my bag. Any suggestions?

I was on my knees, rumaging in a local record shop and ran across The Knack. Caught my eye because one of my favorites, John Barry did the score. Rather than the Bond sound of the same era, we have a much more *delightful* score. Of course, that is because this is a great 1965 British comedy about one guy who has IT, and his buddy, who wants to know how to get IT. IT, of course being the ability to bed women. Most excellent movie and soundtrack. ------------------------------ From: Katie Eagan & Jeff Phillips Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 07:39:25 -0900 (PDT) Subject: Re: Cocktail Conflict On 18 Jul 1996, Laura Taylor wrote: > So, here' s my question-what is the most cocktail-esque beer, one that you > could drink from a martini glass and still be swank?

Available in=20 >Cherry, Raspberry or Peach, they're the closest thing to a champagne= cocktail. Exactly what I have been thinking all along , but : It isn't Lindemans ( or is there a Lindemans too ? ) , but Liefmans Ale . Lambic , a bit like cider , is the basis for gueuze-beer , a wine-like wheat-beer , then cherries , raspberries or peaches are added for a second fermentation . The Cherry is called Kriek , the Raspberry is called Frambozen (Framboise) , am not sure about the Peach , but that's probably Perzik (P=EAche). Yes , the closest thing to a champagne cocktail !

I haven't heard it either, but a friend of mine who has it raves about it. As hard as it is to believe, the first half of it is *very* authentic rockabilly; supposedly as good as anything else from that period. The rest of the disc is mostly surf music.

Volume Two definitely moves more into atmospheric soundtrack-style territory....it's got some great tunes featuring the clavoline (that space age organ-style instrument heard on "Telstar" by the Tornados...

There is a track for Bedazzled, but it's not the easiest thing in the world to find. Both "Our Man.." and "In Like.." 'Flint' are very swinging ("In Like..." is tough to find, though). Other good ones to seek out - "Barbarella", "The 10th Victim", the oft-mentioned "7 Golden men", "Sweden : Heaven or Hell", "Barefoot in the Park", "The Party", "Modesty Blaise", "Fathom", "The Biggest Bundle of Them All"......... br cleve ------------------------------ From: "Matthew N.
