Despite better judgment and overcommitments, I'm doing it anyway (the fourth year running!). I'm tying it in with "An Evening For the Jet Set" scheduled for August 14th at the Highland Theater in Akron. In addition to me DJing, there will be a screening of a 35mm print of La Dolce Vita, and possibly the final performance by local music outfit the King Dapper Combo. The past couple of years, other promoters had lined up their own Enoch-related themed events to create a sort of national, (and last year, international) jet set synergistic Enoch vibe. E-mail me if you're interested in doing a local event (or radio special) sometime around Enoch's birthday on August 18th and I'll tie it in with online/other promotion. (1999 is also the 40th anniversary of Persuasive Percussion and Command Records, BTW) So far, Otto Von Stroheim is planning an event in San Francisco on the 17th. Watch this space (and, invariably Robbie's Spaced Out site) for details as they happen.

This record (on the "directional sound" label) is, like several of their titles, a repackaging of an Omega release (tho it's possible this title never got released before Omega went under). DS took Omega records by the Francis Bay Orchestra (recorded in Belgium and licensed by Omega for release in the USA) and changed the name to "John Evans and his Orchestra". (The Bay group's pianist was named Jean Evans, so that's where this particular inspiration came from.) EPaBB is one of these repackaged records. Where it starts to get interesting is in figuring out how Chaino fits in. It seems highly unlikely that he flew to Belgium to sit in with Bay's ensemble. More probable is that Omega had a bunch of Bay tracks in a pseudo-Martin-Denny style (Bay's group specialized in mimicking the styles of other popular bandleaders) and they interspersed some cuts by Chaino, thereby creating an album featuring both, even though they were never on the same continent, let alone the same recording studio. So back to the Directional Sound reissue: their practice was to mix cuts from different records to disguise the fact that these were reissued recordings. So what's on EPaBB is likely >most< of what the original Omega version contained, but with the possibility that some cuts were dropped and others added from elsewhere. It's even conceivable that the cuts by Chaino never made it to the DS reissue at all, but absent a copy of the original Omega (which is pictured in the notes for the recent Chaino CD) to compare, it's impossible to tell. This is so confusing that I'm convinced that at least one of the tracks on the recent Chaino CD is not Chaino at all, but one of the faux-Martin-Denny Francis Bay numbers! - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Finding web of spider does not prove which spider spun web." -- Charlie Chan # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 01:08:20 EDT From: SLarry3595@aol.com Subject: (exotica) re: The Knack With all this talkk about John Barry and The Knack I thought some of you might want to know that the CD is now on eBay for $6.00.

Every second business now seems to be an e-cafe, full of backpackers, a real change since I was here two years ago. Last night, I went to a launch of the new academic book on exotica, edited by Phil Hayward, Widening the Horizon - -- or something like that. I spent this morning trolling through the used music stores on Pitt Street, one of which has an upstairs full of easy listening albums running about $1-$2. I got lots of movie-theme compilations I haven't seen before, and a fab bossa nova album whose cover shows someone putting albums with "mambo" and "twist" on their sleeves into a trash can. It's no trip to Cleveland, but it will have to do. Will _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He was 79. Greenbaum, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Sorbonne in Paris and served in World War II as a Navy pilot and flight instructor. After the war, he wrote, produced and starred in a Boston radio show called ``Greenbaum's Gallery.'' Greenbaum and Fritzell teamed up in 1952 for Wally Cox's ``Mr. Peepers,'' a collaboration that continued until Fritzell's death in 1979. The pair earned a Peabody Award, four Emmy nominations, three Writers Guild comedy awards and the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award. They wrote eight feature films, including ``Good Neighbor Sam'' and ``The Shakiest Gun in the West.'' On his own, Greenbaum wrote two books, including the memoir ``The Goldenberg Who Couldn't Dance,'' and worked on ``The George Gobel Show.'' He also acted, appearing in brief roles on Griffith's ``Matlock'' series and other programs. *James ``Jimmy'' Newman LAS VEGAS (AP) -- James ``Jimmy'' Newman, the son and manager of singer Gladys Knight, died Saturday. He was 36. The cause of death was not released. The coroner said it appears that Newman died of natural causes. An autopsy is pending. Newman managed his mother's career through his Newman Management Inc., one of four Knight-related companies sharing offices in Southern Nevada. This year, Newman helped his mother launch Many Roads, a specialty record label formed to support her recent gospel album, ``Many Different Roads,'' and other gospel artists. According to the album's media materials, Newman brought many of the songs to Knight's attention, including ``Jesus' Love Is Like a River,'' a song co-written by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch. ISTANBUL, July 13 (AFP) - A cafe owner in Turkey shot and killed a customer who wanted to use the toilet, the Anatolia news agency reported Tuesday. Ibrahim Kucuk asked the owner of the Dodurgalilar coffehouse in Incirliova near Aydin in western Turkey to use the restroom, but the owner refused, saying he did not want smells in his toilet, the agency said. Enraged by the ensuing discussion with his customer, the owner, identified by his initials A.D., drew a revolver and shot Kucuk, who died in hospital. A.D. was arrested after the shooting, Anatolia reported. # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 07:44:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Jane Fondle Subject: (exotica) Was Brazil '66 ever on TV?

I haven't been able to hear any of his (not chart-hittin, I suppose) music yet, but found a photo of him playing a guitar in a girls school not too long ago, very cute. Former German president Walter Scheel had a hit (when was it, late 70t's?) with a folksong, Hoch auf den gelben Wa-hagen, more likely cover material for Die Fischer Choere or Heino, I'm almost sure they did it, actually. Former Ecuadorian president Abdullah Buccaram, aka El Loco, recorded a whole album (part of his campaign, when was it, some five years ago) of stuff like Jailhouse Rock in Spanish. It was huge in Ecuador. Former president of Republica Serpska, Karadzjic, is, apart from being a psychiatrist and a war criminal, a poet and a musician who used to accompagny his historic noodlings on the ud or somesuch instrument.

Well, the Library of Congress is at your service. ``Krazy Kat'' is there, the strip President Wilson was said to read before Cabinet meetings, and also ``The Katzenjammer Kids'' and ``Keeping Up With the Joneses.'' There are 21 animated films and two fragments, covering the years 1900 to 1921. And they're available to anyone with a computer via the Internet. To find them go to the Library of Congress Web site, http://www.loc.gov, and click on American Memory. Then search for the keyword animation. The earliest is Thomas A. Edison's ``The Enchanted Drawing.'' In less than a minute and a half, it shows what the inventor's catalog called ``an elderly gentleman of most comical features and expression pouring wine out of the bottle.'' ``These films also reveal some of the social attitudes of early 20th century America,'' the library said in its announcement. For the more active, the library site also offers dancing lessons. It has put ``An American Ballroom Companion'' on the Web with extracts from more than 200 books. They describe social dancing back to the time of Columbus. Video demonstrations allow the student to compare printed instructions with actual movements. No macarena, though -- the dance manuals only go up to 1920. Collections display presidential papers, Civil War photos, 1,500 images from what the library calls ``the golden age of jazz'' and an outstanding assemblage of baseball cards. The National Digital Library now has about 2 million items in 60 separate collections and expects to have 6 million next year when the Library of Congress celebrates it 200th birthday. That compares with 18 million books in the stacks and nearly 100 million other items such as maps and photos. A digitized ``Southern Mosaic'' presents 25 hours of folk music collected 60 years ago by John and Ruby Lomax -- nearly 700 songs, over 100 of them in Spanish. The couple traveled 6,502 miles through eight Southern states for material. They came up with a unique collection of ballads, blues, children's songs, cowboy songs, fiddle tunes, hollers, lullabies, religious dramas, spirituals and work songs. When the library's geography division put together a collection called ``Mapping the National Parks,'' it found maps of the areas going back 400 years, centuries before there was such a thing as a national park. It covers four parks, including the Acadia National Park in Maine, the first coastal park, and adds the appropriate nautical charts. Links from the Grand Canyon presentation carry the viewer to spectacular views of the site. # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 14:58:13 EDT From: SLarry3595@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Dick's still singin' Don't forget his killer LP on Command "Songs I Like By Dick Van Dyke".

He was 85. Lapin, who had homes in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles, died Saturday of heart failure at a Los Angeles hospital, Hillside Memorial Park said today. Reddi-wip was first sold in 1948 by St. Louis milkmen. Distribution quickly expanded throughout the United States and Canada. One out of every two cans of aerosol topping now purchased in the United States each year is Reddi-wip. In addition to packaging Reddi-wip, Lapin's Clayton Corp. made and sold its own valves for the whipped cream enterprise. Clayton was one of the first companies to put shaving cream in an aerosol can, but Lapin decided not to market the product because he didn't want to compete with shaving cream makers who might buy his valves. Clayton and its subsidiaries make industrial valves and closures, caulk, adhesives and foamed plastic products such as insulation and cushioning materials. Born in St. Louis on Jan. 5, 1914, Lapin was educated at the University of Missouri and attended Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. Lapin lost control of Clayton and sold his interest in Reddi-wip, which is now made by Beatrice Foods Inc. in Waukesha, Wis. Beatrice is a subsidiary of ConAgra, the Omaha, Neb.-based food maker. # 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. ------------------------------ Date: 14 Jul 1999 18:21:08 +0000 From: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: (exotica) The Singing Chickens At 11:39 AM 14-07-99 +0100, you wrote: >Just kidding.
