Scott,Joel Beck Benny Kalama HONOLULU (AP) – Hawaiian music legend Benny Kalama, former musical director for the "Hawaii Calls" radio show, died Tuesday at his Lanikai home. He was 83. Kalama, a falsetto singer and ukulele and bass player, performed with some of Hawaii's most famous musicians and was a member of the Royal Hawaiian Serenaders from 1948-1952. His recording career started in 1938. His lone solo album, "He is Hawaiian Music," came out in the early 1980s. In 1993, Kalama received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- George C. Scott, whose eagle-like profile and commanding, gravel-voiced demeanor brought life to Gen. George S. Patton and earned him an Oscar he refused to accept, has died. He was 71. Scott died Wednesday, Pat Mahoney, wife of Scott's publicist, Jim Mahoney, said Thursday. Scott died at his home in Westlake Village in Ventura County, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles. She said she didn't know the cause of death. ``They just found him and are trying to find out what happened,'' she said. ``He was on again, off again for a while. He just expired.'' The answering service for the Ventura County Coroner's office confirmed Scott had died but had no other information. The coroner planned to release a statement this morning, County Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Higgason said. Scott captivated audiences in roles ranging from the dangerously explosive, yet sympathetic Patton in 1970 to the fatuous blowhard Gen. Buck Turgidson in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film ``Dr. Strangelove.'' The two were opposite ends of a spectrum of his memorable film characters: the shark on the sidelines who tries to devour Paul Newman in ``The Hustler''; the high-powered ringer brought in to steamroller small-town lawyer James Stewart in ``Anatomy of a Murder''; the dedicated doctor ground down by red tape and institutional incompetence in ``The Hospital.'' On television, he etched a gritty portrait of a social worker fighting a tide of urban misery in the television series ``East Side/West Side.'' On stage, when at age 68 Scott rose from a sickbed to star in the 1996 Broadway revival of ``Inherit the Wind,'' one critic said it was like watching a horse buggy powered by a Ferrari engine. In private life, he was for years a bellicose drinker whose profile was marked by a nose broken five times, in four barroom brawls and one mugging. He was married five times -- twice to the same woman, actress Colleen Dewhurst. When Scott played in ``Plaza Suite'' in 1968, co-star Maureen Stapleton and director Mike Nichols had this reported exchange at rehearsal: Stapleton: ``I'm so frightened of George, I don't know what to do.'' Nichols: ``My dear, the whole world is frightened of George.'' With his highly publicized rejection of the Academy Award more than a decade in the future, Scott mopped up nearly every prize in sight for eye-catching performances when he hit the New York stage in 1957 and 1958. He had spent seven years in the sticks, playing stock and living on menial jobs, preparing for the breakthrough that came when he was 30 years old and caught the eye of Joseph Papp, impresario of the New York Shakespeare Festival. In rapid succession, the unknown Scott played the title role in ``Richard III'' in November 1957, Jacques in ``As You Like It'' in January 1958 and a poisoning peer in the off-Broadway ``Children of Darkness'' in March 1958. For his work in all three productions he received the off-Broadway best actor Obie and a Theatre World award as a ``promising personality.'' For the Shakespeare performances, he won a Clarence Derwent Award as most promising actor and a Vernon Rice Award for contribution to off-Broadway theater. Later the same year, his Broadway debut in ``Comes a Day'' was recognized with the first of what would be four Tony Award nominations. The others were for ``The Andersonville Trial'' in 1959, ``Uncle Vanya'' in 1974 and ``Death of a Salesman,'' which he also directed, in 1975. Over his career he also won a second Obie, two television Emmys out of five nominations and was nominated for Oscars four times. The movie roles that established his fame and provided the money to continue doing theater began in 1959 with the role of a charismatic loony who stirs up a lynch mob against Gary Cooper in ``The Hanging Tree.'' The same year, ``Anatomy of a Murder'' brought his first Academy Award nomination. He said nothing about it. But when he was nominated again in 1962, for ``The Hustler,'' he wired the academy ``no thanks.'' The academy did not withdraw his name, but he didn't win either. Scott said later that he did not think he'd ever again be nominated and regretted only that ``I wasn't able to shock the academy into doing something constructive'' about what he viewed as a meaningless popularity contest. The academy ignored his withdrawal again in 1970 and gave Scott the best-actor Oscar, to go along with Golden Globe and New York Film Critics honors, for ``Patton.'' The movie, a favorite of President Nixon, received seven Academy Awards. Scott said he spent the evening watching hockey. His last nomination was for ``The Hospital'' in 1971. A score of movies would follow, including ``The Savage Is Loose,'' which Scott produced, directed and starred in with his fourth wife, Trish Van Devere, in 1974. It flopped and Scott lost his shirt. His first Emmy nomination was for a Ben Casey episode called ``I Remember a Lemon Tree'' in 1961. The others came during the years between his two short-lived TV series, the critically acclaimed ``East Side/West Side'' in 1963-64 and a sitcom, ``Mr. President,'' in 1987-88. He won Emmys for directing ``The Andersonville Trial'' on PBS in 1970 and acting in ``The Price'' on the Hallmark Hall of Fame in 1971. He also was a nominee for acting in Hallmark's 1976 ``Beauty and the Beast.'' Although he commissioned ``The Last Days of Patton,'' which aired in 1986, because he didn't think he had given the general ``a fair shake the first time around,'' Scott maintained that moviemaking was tedious and he did it only for the money. ``I have to work in the theater to stay sane,'' he said. ``You can attack the stage fresh every night.'' He disdained ``method'' acting and said he learned his craft from watching movie greats. ``Cagney and Bogart taught me how to act. During the depressing periods of most actors' lives, they sleep a lot. I went to the movies,'' he once told an interviewer. Scott was born in Wise, Va., a coal town, on Oct. 18, 1927, but grew up in Detroit. He joined the Marines in 1945, too late for action in World War II and spent his four years in service burying the dead at Arlington by day and boozing at night. ``You can't look at that many widows in veils and hear that many `Taps' without taking to drink,'' he said. He left the Missouri School of Journalism in 1950 without a degree and threw himself into acting, performing in more than 100 roles with stock companies in Toledo, Ohio; Washington and Ontario, Canada. During this time, his marriages to Carolyn Hughes and Patricia Reed produced two daughters, Victoria and Devon, and a son, Matthew. He met Dewhurst when they appeared together in ``Children of Darkness'' and they were married in 1960, divorced in 1965, remarried in 1967 and divorced in 1972. They had two sons, Alexander and Campbell. Scott also acknowledged a sixth child, born out of wedlock during his school years. He and Van Devere married in 1972. JOEL BECK GOES UNDERGROUND! SAN FRANCISCO CARTOONIST DEAD AT 56! September 22: Pioneering underground cartoonist, Joel Beck, had died in San Francisco at the age of 56. The San Francisco Examiner described Beck as a "legendary underground comic artist of the 1960s who chronicled the hippie era and the Vietnam War years in the UC-Berkeley humor magazine Pelican, the Berkeley Barb and in his own comic books. A frail youngster, Mr. Beck spent two years of his childhood in El Sobrante bedridden with a near-fatal combination of tuberculosis and spinal meningitis, during which time he said he drew cartoons and read Mark Twain and Walt Disney. As a teenager he began leaving his cartoons at the office of the Pelican, slipping them under the door after hours. Although he never attended college, he was voted the nation's top college cartoonist by humor magazine editors in 1965." The EXAMINER also said, "Living in a converted closet in a rather notorious building known as Haste House on Haste Street in Berkeley, Mr. Beck worked by night and slept most of the day. He began contributing a full page comic each week to the Berkeley Barb, the underground newspaper of the time. He also created elaborate drawings, and sometimes paintings, of a fantasy world of dinosaur-like creatures, sailing ships, fanciful castles and winged fairies. Some were made into posters. In 1965, his first full-length comic book, "Lenny of Laredo," was published. It was a satire loosely based on the career of embattled comedian Lenny Bruce. Mr. Beck's protagonist, a child named Lenny, achieves fame and fortune by uttering "obscenities" such as "pee-pee thing," only to find his career in the dumps when the public becomes satiated with his naughtiness. Two other books, "Marching Marvin" and "The Profit," followed. All are collectors items today." The EXAMINER described Beck's career as ebbing in the 1970s, "possibly as a result of the methamphetamines he was fond of taking during marathon bouts of drawing. In recent years he lived in obscurity in Point Richmond, scraping out a living with an occasional advertising commission and being looked after by friends. He was seriously injured in a mugging a few years ago and suffered a recurrence of tuberculosis. And he continued to drink heavily. Services will be at Point Richmond Methodist Church, corner of Martina Street and West Richmond Avenue, at 1 p.m. Thursday. Samples of his art works and comics and stories about his life are posted in the windows of the Santa Fe Market, West Richmond Avenue and Washington Street."

The ad said something to the effect that Aku-Aku (a 50-year old polynesnian restaurant) was selling off a lot of its old stuff for a short period of time. Domenic e-mailed his fellow Boston exotica-enthusiasts to share the good news. I arrived the following day and was led into the "back" room where all the stuff was stored. I saw some sorta good, but kinda too new pleather chairs, a pile of rattan chairs (about 50 in all) which had been painted green and re-cushioned with vinyl :-(. Then I saw it. A three and a half foot high SOLID tiki which must weigh at least 225lbs naked (which it is). It was a perfect specimen, the kind we see in Tiki News and other places. The owner told me it had decorated the lobby entrance to the original Aku Aku since 1948. The lobby was in the old and now defunkt (remember that band?) Somerset Hotel on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. We dickered and haggled a bit and we arrived at a great price from my perspective and now a classic tiki is about to become part of my domain. It will occupy a spot in my living room, next to my parents original 50's wrought iron butterfly chair. It will sit on a straw mat. Additionally, I purchased an old wall mural from the guy for only $10. This is a beauty. Its a Polynesian moonlit setting on a lagoon. A maiden paddles her canoe toward a clump of palm trees under the starry skies. Under the trees is a campfire illuminating just the side of the tiki facing the fire. The tiki is big for the picture and juts out from the 3' by 5' mural about 3".

It's a little unclear to me whether the Philly Crown owned Hanover/Cameo-Parkway/Wyncote, or just manufactured disks for them. mkoldys wrote (about Precision Radiation Instruments): >It is my belief that these are also listable under the "Synthetic >Plastics"/"Premier" grouping.

I would me that essentially ALL the budget labels were part of one giant conspiracy to palm off drecky records on an unsuspecting public. But what makes you sure? I have noticed tracks in common between SPC and PRI disks--but as I say, they might have just stolen them from each other. (Or both from the same legally-unprotected source.) Grand Prix definitely goes with Pickwick, the LPs actually say "Pickwick" right on the label. Just to mention something again that I think Br. Cleve first pointed out: Budget labels were mostly sold through drugstores, grocery stores, or whatever. The store would just deal with one distributor who filled the whole rack, so that's one reason why companies tried to create the appearance of a bunch of different labels. . . investigatively, --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. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1999 15:00:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Jordana Robinson Subject: Re: (exotica) OT: Barbarella - --- Jane Fondle wrote: > > Duran Duran (mad scientist-type villian): Marilyn > > Manson > > NONONO!

Some exoticness is added by the fact that on this track only some Sylvia Juncosa plays keybords (Farfisa, I guess). Label is Hysteria records, and on the cover sez: "Primordial Ooze Glavored - 6 Spellbinding Quick Trick Heap-Big Magical Musical Tablets - Just Add What's Left Of Your Mind". Woah! 2) I just think Slim Gaillard was a sheer genius. I have most of his stuff, but didn't realise until now that he put out an Yma Sumac parody called "Soony Roony (Song Of Yxabat)". The track, credited to "Slim Gaillard & His Peruvians" (!?) came out in 1951 and was part of his 10" LP issue "Mish Mash" on Clef. More easily findable on "Laughing In Rhythm", a Verve CD collection of his best works. Guess who's playing piano on that tune: Dick Hyman.

"Mancini '67" is a great big band type album with a slight now sound twist. A sequel to his "Uniquely Mancini" big band album from 1963 which is an especially glaring absence from availability on CD. Do we have any Mancini fans on this list? What do you think of the album? I enjoy it and its wonderful knowing I can finally take it in the car. Before I had to be satisfied with my turntable only. Now if the would only release his 1963 effort...

Reminding me of a time not too long ago when many great Tico and Seeco titles were readily available at Woolworth's stores.

Maybe this says something about my taste for dreck but when it comes to loungey and Now Sound stuff, I think I find as much interesting stuff on budget labels as on major labels. I kind of like the fact that you almost have to ignore what the record appears to be. It could say "Hawaiian" and be closer to western swing. It could say "hits of 1965" and be the dreariest string thing. Or it could say "Electronic music to blow your mind by" (by "The Lovemachine") and actually make a worthy attempt at mindblowingness. # 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: Fri, 24 Sep 1999 01:47:36 -0400 From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) the cathode world This is particularly addressed to you Frank Comstock afficionados out there but first let's start with a quote: "Such programs as "Peter Gunn", "The D.A's Man" and "77 Sunset Strip" have brought cool sounds into living rooms previously shunned "music with a beat". Here two talented arrangers fashion tube-popping examples of the latest from the cathode world". The record is called "The Cool Scene", subtitled "Twelve Ways to Fly" and has the fingersnapping-est cool picture of beatniks on the front. Anyway one of the tunes is indeed the theme to "The D.A.'s Man" performed by Frank Comstock. And my question is "Where can I get more of this?" One of the best "crime jazz" cuts I've ever heard. Not that I'm likely to ever find it but is there actually a "D.A's Man" soundtrack LP somewhere out there? # 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. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #501 *****************************
