I have it and the fact that I kept it, having "sent back" so many other organ LP's, means something to me. But I put it on just in case. There are actually tunes here that swing and the strings and organ are an interesting combination in places. Of course it would be a much better record if they were doing "Up Up and Away" and "I know a place" instead of "Satin Doll" but maybe that's my prejudice. It would also be better if all the tunes swung but there are ballads and they get a bit turgid. I recognize the name of the organ player : Paul Griffin. Wasn't there a guy played keyboards with Electric Flag or something with that name? I can't find that record right now. But there's some Paul Butterfield or Bloomfield connection with that name. Anyway, I'm grooving to the first cut on Side two - Love for Sale - as I write this. But "Body and Soul" just came on and it's done slow and a bit sucky. Buyer beware but I kept it.

Beverly Drive in 1997, Cristina was inspired to buy a piano, even though she didn't know how to play. Yet music was in the air -- literally -- at the gated, five bedroom, 4631 square foot chateau. Late at night, says realtor Adrian Grant, spooky tunes echo through the house. Creepy pipe organ tones? No, more like a thumping Latin dance beat.

Born in Gerona, Spain, and raised in Havana, Cugat danced to the altar five times -- the fifth time was with entertainer Charo, who shared this house with him. The Kahns, who may have gotten a little tired of Cugat's midnight bandstanding, have listed the place at $3,195,000." - -- Brad # 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: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 11:47:46 -0500 From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Harmonicats Score At 9:44 PM 10/2/99, Ross 'Mambo Frenzy' Orr wrote: >>* Jerry Murad's Harmonicats Harmonicha Cha-Cha ...

Oh Ross, you'd like that stuff too. Perhaps I'll stage a taping marathon at Steve's house, tape Discussion In Percussion (got a clean copy yesterday!) the Harmonicats Cha-Cha LP and one or two other surprises I've gathered in my recent record-buying frenzy. A tape I made for you using my beat copy of Discussion has been on my desk, ready for mailing for the past two months. I hesitated to put it into the mail because the Discussion sound is so sucky. Now I can get you a much better copy. Damn, it HAS been a record-buying frenzy, though. I've gotten some great LPs, ones you'd really appreciate. With no exaggeration, I'd guess I've spent 300 to 400 on records alone during the past few months. Most have been thrift buys, altho as I dive deeper Into the dark waters of collecting, I've realized I must declare myself a collector as acquisitive as any other; now I'm driven to seeking vinyl in real used record stores. =46or me, the scent of mildewed wax has become the headiest of perfumes. I only hope that you and Margaret can come visit soon so you can hear some of the glorious music I've gotten -- the experience of finding a must-have disk is, for me, matched or surpassed by the pleasure of playing it for an appreciative listener.

Federer Jr.,Sal Salvador,Akio Morita Charles A. Federer Jr. MYSTIC, Conn. (AP) Charles A. Federer Jr., the editor in chief of Sky and Telescope magazine, died Tuesday. He was 90. Federer started the magazine for amateur astronomers in 1941 and retired in 1974. The magazine now has a circulation of about 125,000. Federer taught himself astronomy as a child growing up in Redding. He earned a physics degree from the City College of New York in the 1930s and founded his own magazine by combining two money-losing journals, The Sky and The Telescope. Sal Salvador http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=9:21:03|AM&p=amg&sql=B7476 STAMFORD, Conn. (AP)Sal Salvador, a guitarist who performed with some top jazz musicians, died of cancer on Sept. 22. He was 73. Born as Silvio Smiraglia, Salvador taught himself how to play guitar and became known as a be-bop improviser. He performed with Stan Kenton, Bill Evans, Phil Woods and other jazz greats. From 1970 until recently, Salvador taught jazz at the University of Bridgeport and Western Connecticut State University. He also gave private lessons in New York City. Akio Morita http://www.nytimes.com/library/world/asia/100399obit-morita.html TOKYO (AP) Akio Morita, the entrepreneur, engineer and savvy salesman who helped give new meaning to the words "Made in Japan," died Sunday of pneumonia, Sony Corp. said. He was 78. Morita co-founded Sony in a bombed-out department store after World War II. He was the last of a generation of Japanese industrialists that included carmaker Soichiro Honda and electronics rival Konosuke Matsushita. Under Morita's guidance, Sony was instrumental in changing Japan's image from a maker of slipshod products to a world leader in high-quality automobiles and electronics. In the process, his company became a multibillion dollar conglomerate. Born in the central Japanese city of Nagoya on Jan. 26, 1921, Morita retired as Sony's chairman in 1994. A year earlier he had suffered a stroke that left him weakened and in a wheelchair. The tanned, snowy-haired Morita, who took up water-skiing in his 60s, also pioneered new behavior for corporate Japan. He pushed his engineers to take risks with new products and criticized lavishly paid American executives. He caused a stir in 1989 by co-authoring "The Japan That Can Say 'No'" with current Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, then refusing to authorize an English translation. In it, Morita criticized U.S. corporate culture as overindulgent. # 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: Mon, 4 Oct 1999 09:09:26 -0500 From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: (exotica) New fiction about music Louis Shiner, rock critic, cyberpunk innovator, small-time musician, and fine spinner of tales about regenerate losers, just released a new book: _Say Goodbye_.

Times -- * Dick Patterson; Actor, Stand-Up Comedian Dick Patterson, 70, comedian and song and dance man of Broadway musicals, film and television. After making his Broadway debut in David Merrick's "Vintage '60," Patterson appeared in "The Billy Barnes People," the national touring company of "Bye Bye Birdie" and opposite Carol Burnett in "Fade Out, Fade In." His most recent musical was "Smile," a spoof of beauty pageants, in which one reviewer said Patterson was "hilarious as the coy emcee" and another praised his portrayal of "the fiendishly smarmy third-rate television personalty who serves as pageant emcee." On the silver screen, Patterson appeared in "Grease" and "Grease II," and Disney's "Strongest Man in the World." On television, the actor was a frequent guest on "The Carol Burnett Show" and had occasional roles on such popular series as "Here's Lucy," "Happy Days" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Patterson, who was a nightclub stand-up comedian, wrote material for the Las Vegas acts of Debbie Reynolds and Rich Little and a song, "Santa's Marching Song." Born in Clear Lake, Iowa, Patterson moved to California in his teens and worked his way through UCLA. On Sept. 20 in Los Angeles. 10/1/99 Variety -- Chili Bouchier http://allmovie.com/cg/x.dll?UID=10:22:37|AM&p=avg&sql=B121219 http://us.imdb.com/Name?Bouchier,+Chili Longtime British actress Chili Bouchier, who became known as Britain’s answer to Clara Bow in the 1920s and was billed as “Britain’s It Girl,” died Sept. 9 of natural causes in England just three days short of her 90th birthday. Born Dorothy Irene Boucher in London, she made her screen debut at age 17 as a bathing beauty in the 1927 silent film “Shooting Stars.” Bouchier was so popular two years later that her marriage to revue star Harry Milton turned into a mob scene. She made a smooth transition to talkies, with pics including “Call of the Sea” (1930), “The Kissing Cup Race” (1931), “Carnival” (1931), “Ebb Tide” (1932), “The Blue Danube” (1932), “The Mad Hatters” (1935) and “Everything Happens to Me” (1938). She eventually signed a seven-year contract with Warner Bros. but disliked Hollywood and returned home before having made a single U.S. picture. Back in London, she enjoyed a West End hit in the revival “A Little Bit of Fluff.” She toured Egypt entertaining Allied forces during WWII and, following the war, returned to films with “The Case of Charles Peace” (1949) and “The Counterfeit Plan” (1956). In 1952 shared the stage with Diana Dors in the West End revue “Rendezvous.” She later moved on to character roles, such as a 1975 legit revival of “Harvey” starring James Stewart, and sang “Broadway Baby” in the West End production of “Follies.” In 1991, she appeared in the BBC TV series “Flip” and five years later published her memoirs, “Shooting Star.” She was working on a dramatization of her life with writer David Collier at the time of her death. She left no survivors. # 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: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 17:34:04 +0200 From: Ton Rueckert Subject: Re: (exotica) [Daniela Blyth: Hello again!] >> I have been trying to phone you at the office earlier.

I would indeed encourage all to cc a copy of each and every love letter you send over the internet standard to the exoticalist, so we'll get a better idea what's at the heart of all these strange tastes we've come to witness here.

Apparently straw hats were discovered for them, too! If that's true, it's JUST TOO CUTE! Can anybody else confirm this? If true, the Moai is the ancient equivalent of Mr. Potato Head!

If true, the Moai is > the ancient equivalent of Mr. Potato Head! > Jane Fondle Eyes - yes but they were painted on, maybe a few were inset but I have never heard of this. Straw hats - no but they had "hats" of red stone believed (by Thor Heyerdahl) to represent red hair tied into a top knot in the style of ancient Peru, some of these "hats" have been discovered. They had to be quarried at a good distance from the quarry where the Moai were worked and brought overland so some importance must have been placed on them. - -- 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. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Oct 1999 18:32:57 +0100 From: "Robert Quarterman" Subject: Re: (exotica) let's talk moog heres a few that were missed (possibly with good reason) off the huge list of moog titles posted the other day: great hits of the 70's moog style(includes the wombling song) moog party time romantic moog the moog strikes bach... magic moog nursery rhymes clockwork orange walter carlos walter carlos by request (includes whats new, pussycat?) moog superstar (excerpts from jesus christ superstar) sound 2000 moog klaus wunderlich if anyone would like to contact me off list, for a list of moog records im getting rid of please feel free cheers!!!
