He was 96. Born in Melrose, Mass., Worth started his career as a still photographer in the late 1920s but quickly moved into motion pictures, working as a camera operator and cinematographer. One of his most remembered films was the 1957 cult hit, ``I Was a Teenage Frankenstein.'' He also worked with many of the biggest stars of his time, including Orson Welles, Gary Cooper and James Cagney. Lothrop and his late wife, Jean, were also charitable donors to the motion picture hospital, where a wing was dedicated in their honor in 1989. Last year, he gave 150 television sets to the retirement home in memory of his wife. In January, he helped fund a new medicine program at the hospital. At his request, there will be no memorial service. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Worth,+Lothrop+B. L.A. Times -- Saturday, March 18, 2000 Lothrop Worth Dies; Movie Cameraman Inspired '50s Revival of 3-D By ELAINE WOO, Times Staff Writer Lothrop Worth, a veteran Hollywood cameraman who inspired the 3-D movie craze of the 1950s, died Thursday at the Motion Picture & Television Hospital in Woodland Hills. Worth, 96, spent half a century behind the lens, training his camera on some of the most famous faces of his time, including those of Marlene Dietrich, Vincent Price and Gary Cooper. When he was briefly out of work in the 1950s, he developed a system of cameras and mirrors that created the illusion of depth on the movie screen. Calling the technique "natural vision," he used it to film the era's first commercial feature-length 3-D film, "Bwana Devil," released in 1952 and starring Robert Stack as an engineer who battles man-eating lions in Africa. The movie so impressed Jack Warner of Warner Bros. that within two days of its release the studio mogul signed Worth and his partner, Trent Baker, to shoot "House of Wax." That 1953 horror flick, which starred Vincent Price as a mentally warped sculptor who turns people into wax figures, was considered the best and most popular of the 3-D productions from that period. The first 3-D movie, "The Power of Love," opened in Los Angeles in 1922, bringing a resurgence of interest in stereoscopic cinema processes that had been developed at the turn of the century. Thus Worth, who was sometimes called the father of 3-D, was always careful to say he was really the father of the 1950s revival, "because 3-D's been around for eons, even before my time." When television began to lure filmgoers away from the box office in the '50s, Hollywood rediscovered 3-D. Every major studio and many small ones began to churn out "depthies" or "deepies," as the movies were sometimes called. But, aside from "House of Wax" and MGM's "Kiss Me Kate," also in 1953, most of the attempts to capitalize on the technology fizzled. By 1954, the 3-D fad was doing a fast fade-out--a merciful development, from Worth's standpoint. "All that directors wanted to do was the same old gag of throwing things at the camera," he told The Times in 1993. "These techniques should come as startling climaxes, but in those early 3-D films, all you had was things flying at your head--axes, leaping lions, African spears, anything they could think of. Done right, it doesn't hurt your eyes." But after a while "bad imitators came along, and people went home with a headache." Born in Melrose, Mass., Worth moved to Los Angeles with his family after they were bankrupted in a stock market crash in 1907. Growing up near USC, he recalled seeing actors from early westerns strolling through the neighborhood on their way to outdoor sets. That's when the Hollywood bug bit. "I was intrigued with it from the time I saw the cowboys and Indians walking down the street," he told an interviewer last year. His mother was working as a beautician for the wife of director Cecil B. DeMille when Worth's father died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Constance DeMille wound up getting the young Worth, then a commerce and business administration major at USC, a job at her husband's studio. "The DeMilles thought I should be an actor," he once recalled. "But I thought I should do something more technical . . . more lasting." His first assignment for DeMille was filming titles for the 1923 silent classic "The Ten Commandments." He made a brief detour as a sound technician after talking movies emerged, but eventually returned to camera work. He went on to serve as director of photography on such films as "Gog," "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein," "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter," "Billy the Kid vs. Dracula" and "Hostile Guns." Worth also worked in TV as director of cinematography on such series as "The Donna Reed Show" and "The Real McCoys." He coordinated the scenes in which Barbara Eden vaporized into and out of her bottle in "I Dream of Jeannie." He worked at all the major studios, retiring in 1969 after a 20-year stint at Paramount Pictures. Worth was one of the oldest residents at the Motion Picture Country House, part of the health care and retirement-home complex in Woodland Hills run by the Motion Picture & Television Fund. When his wife, Jean, died in 1989, he donated their $700,000 Brentwood house to the fund and moved to the Woodland Hills retirement community. The fund named a wing of its hospital for the Worths. - --------- CAIRO, March 19 (AFP) - Egyptian singer Shafik Galal, the "King of Mawwal," died Sunday of a heart attack at a Cairo hospital where he was being treated for kidney problems, hospital officials said. Galal, 71, had been known for singing popular poetry in couplets, or mawwals, and had a repertoire of 500 songs. His best known songs were "Ammuna" and "Sheikh al-Balad" (Village Chief) in which he improvised freely and even added jokes. Galal participated in 72 films. His last movie role was in "Zankat al-Settat" (a poor neighborhood of Alexandria) with belly dancer Fifi Abdu, which opened here this week. In November 1998, the Cairo Opera honored him during its Arab Music Festival. Even during his sole performance at the Cairo Opera, Galal went on stage wearing a galabiya, the long robe often worn by poor Egyptians. He was married and the father of a son, Galal Galal, who has begun his own singing career. - -------- *Stanley Ralph Ross LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Stanley Ralph Ross, an actor-producer who also wrote more than 250 television show episodes, died Thursday of cancer, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. The Times said he was 64, but an entry in the book ``Who's Who in America'' gave his birth date as July 22, 1940, making him 59. Born in New York City, Ross was a freelance photographer, a copywriter and advertising executive before discovering what he once called his ``true vocation'' of writing. Over a 30-year career, Ross wrote dozens of scripts for television movies and TV series such as ``The Monkees,'' ``The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'' and ``Columbo.'' He wrote 32 episodes of the 1960s ``Batman'' series. He also developed or created TV shows such as the 1970s hit ``Wonder Woman.'' Ross co-wrote the book, music and lyrics for a musical, ``Chaplin,'' produced at the Los Angeles Music Center. As an actor, Ross appeared on television in ``Falcon Crest'' and many other series. His films included ``Tony Rome.'' and this from rec.music.dementia: Writer/actor/producer/songwriter Stanley Ralph Ross passed away last night following a long battle with Cancer. The tall (6'6"), gravelly-voiced Renaissance Man was well-known throughout Hollywood for dabbling in just about every aspect of show business, among them... TELEVISION WRITING: Stanley was one of the main writers of the original BATMAN TV show with Adam West and he developed the Lynda Carter WONDER WOMAN show, as well. He wrote episodes of dozens of shows including BANACEK, ALL IN THE FAMILY, THE MONKEES. He created and produced a short-lived NBC sitcom named THE KALLIKAKS and wrote around a dozen TV-Movies. ACTING: Stanley almost always wrote a part for himself in the shows he penned but he also acted in films as diverse as HELTER SKELTER, TONY ROMA, CANDY STRIPE NURSES and JOHN GOLDFARB, PLEASE COME HOME. His final on-camera appearance was a bit part as himself in AN ALAN SMITHEE FILM: BURN, HOLLYWOOD, BURN. VOICE ACTING: Stanley's deep, raspy voice was heard in hundreds of TV commercials and cartoons, including recurring roles on THE PAW-PAWS, SUPERMAN (Ruby-Spears version; he played Perry White), GARFIELD AND FRIENDS, and THE INHUMANOIDS. His most recent roles were as the Pitbull and Doberman in BABE: PIG IN THE CITY and he had recently completed recording for its forthcoming sequel. WRITING: Stanley co-wrote (with Anthony Newley), the musical CHAPLIN and authored hundreds of songs. He worked with Allan Sherman on the classic MY SON, THE FOLK SINGER album and later recorded his own knock-off, MY SON, THE COPYCAT.Ross also co-wrote (with Jay Nash) the multi-volume "Motion Picture Guide A-Z." Before he got into TV writing, he was in advertising. One day, the agency for which he worked was shown the pilot for a series that ABC was probably going to be passing on. Stanley liked the show so much, he convinced his agency to buy the show and to get ABC to put it on the air. And that's how THE FLINTSTONES made it onto the schedule. Stanley was also a minister in the Universal Life Church and he performed hundreds and hundreds of marriages -- very amusing ones, often for folks in show biz. (When Milton Berle married his present wife, Stanley performed the ceremony and closed it with the words, "I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Television...") He also either co-wrote or edited (I forget) Burt Ward's recent autobiography. And he was a restaurant critic for years for the L.A. WEEKLY. And if I keep listing things he did, I'll be late for the funeral... A full list of Stanley's accomplishments would fill up the Internet very quickly -- so I'll just add that this is a VERY partial list...and that he was a good friend to countless folks, myself included, and a great help to me when I was starting out. Miss him already. - ------------------------------------------------ Mark Evanier - PMB 303 - 363 S.

In 1929, at his last recording session, just a year before he was committed to the insane asylum where he would spend the few years that remained of his life, he sang the saddest song in the world, thanking his parents for putting him on the right path.

Basically, you need DSL or better for the audio fidelity - 56K simply doesn't have the juice. When you encode the MP3 streams so that they will run on a 56Kbaud modem, you are basically limited to 11KHz (AM-ish quality - requires 32Kbps). If you have a DSL or better line, then you can handle the 22KHz feeds (Hi-Fi quality - requires 56Kbps). A 56Kbaud modem will not handle the 56Kbps stream. Also, live365 will only stream at 56Kbps max (unless you are one of their favored big time stations - then they will stream at 128Kbps). Some shows will set up two feeds ... > Am I that far behind the times? Unfortunately yes.

I have been really inspired lately with the way in which listers have been helping each-other out by reaching into their collections and sharing what they have. There have been many instances lately of people making CDR's for other people - just because. That's so cool. I was on the receiving end of a very kind offer from RcBrooksod who sent me his Tiki-Room recordings including the PA barker announcements heard all over the park and all the announcements one hears upon entering the Tiki Room - no flash photography, etc. Neato! Also included was "The Carousel of Progress" A Dramatic and Musical meditation on all the marvelous conveniences that await the American Family. Better living through technology, and all that. Faaaassscinating! Still no conclusions reached on what I can do to reciprocate, but Bob just wanted to share something with me that he knew I'd appreciate. Three cheers for TikiBob! I have also been able to do some really cool trading, and wanted to encourage folks to check out Keith Lobue's list of records/recordings he has to trade...It's an INSANE amount of really neat stuff. I just got his CDR of 78's - some of which are old self-made recordings ala Pea Hicks, but on wax. Keith did a phenominal job of recording these records off of vintage playback equipment using microphones rather than a modern phonograph thus preserving or mimicking the experience of hearing the recordings as they must have sounded "back in the day." Mezzzzmerizing! In return, he got 3 recordio disks that I had in my collection including a recording of some lady singing "I don't care if I never (or is it ever) go to bed" I think the other two are recorded letters. He'll like them cuz he's strange like that. That is all...

The article focuses on the "Hammond Heroes" festival at the Jazz Cafe' in Camden, London, which runned throughout February featuring Brian Auger, James Taylor, Jimmy Smith and Georgie Fame. Wish I was there, I love that fat B-3 funky sound. Anyone of the londoner listers can report?

"I kept my Hammond in a shed so no one knew I couldn't play it. I battled with that beast every single day". - ----------- Though I'm an Hammond freak, I admit I didn't buy the magazine for that one article. What got my eye was the cover story: a 20 page special on the "nauseating, filthy, obscene" SEX PISTOLS. I have been a major fan and just think that all records in the world must be filed under 2 big categories only: before/after "Never Mind The Bollocks". The special is an absolute treat, and the photos... well, wow! most of them I have never seen 'em before. There's even a full page sporting Sid Vicious licking Nancy's nipple. Pretty punk, innit? We've been discussing before about the punk roots of many exotica enthusiasts (do count me in), and I still think a good ol' punkick in the balls is what will help me from becoming an totally indolent lounge potato.

I haven't been able to read the list for a while; I have moved in Ireland for about one month and a half, plus I've spent the past week in Disney World with my girlfriend and I was able to visit the infamous "new" Tiki Room, too;) I am now online on another account and I think this change will be permanent even when I get back to Italy. The tiki room was fun, even if it is a pity they've changed it... Gloria Estefan music is not exactly "tiki"... hehehe... Btw, I've found a custom cd machine in the Animal Kingdom park (I think it was in Asia) and from that one you should (theorically) be able to burn a cd of Disney park themes. Sadly, some of the sections in the computers you browse are not updated, so for some of the parks/resorts you just find a "coming soon" or you may even find that most of the music you're looking for is not there ("Fantasmic" for example, Disney/MGM's most popular attraction has a soundtrack on a separate cd sold in the parks, but is not present in this machine). Most of them are ambient music for the attractions, some other contain bits of famous disney movies soundtracks (like "Remember the magic" which is a medley used in the Magic Kingdom parade). Btw, curiously you still have music to attractions that have closed (!) or changed. For example in Epcot you have various tracks of "Horizons" music, and -hey!- in Magic Kingdom there are the original tiki room song, plus a "Tropical serenade - Offenbach" apparently coming from the same attraction (birds whistling Offenbach). You also have some spoken tracks, like the ones that welcome you on the Monorail trains (and in the above mentioned parade music there are also the spoken bits) and in the end some of the most recent stuff like "Tree of life area music" i.e. music made in 1998 as a sonorization of the Tree of Life (huge resin tree with 325 animals engraved on its "wood"). These tracks are sort of moody african instrumentals with music and percussions, plus some choruses/vocal bits. I was wondering if anyone here has ever bought a similar cd and if someone has a complete list of the music and/or wants to trde mp3s (i've noticed that you can only choose 10 tracks so even if I tried to include some longer pieces, the cd was half-empty, but with 2 or 3 more of these cds one could have the whole content of the machine). It wasn't exactly cheap (more than $21 including taxes) and I tried to include music I don't think I already have on commercial Disney cds. This is my tracklist - usually you have attraction name followed by title. Not all the tracks have full credits. Some of them just say (c) Disney, some other have writers and year of publication. The year seems reffered to the publishing copyright, not the recording (p), as track two seems too clean and also has no words, so from the liner notes it is a new arrangment of a 1946 "Pecos Billl" song; same for the "Hunted mansion" bit; in the other tracks I' think year of publication and of recording should be the same, IMHO). 1. Walt Disney World Monorail - "Jack Wagner Spiel 1972" #1 (note: of course there is also a #2 :) and for various other attractions you have music split in 2, or more parts) 2.

How do they do that? Is it the same kind of technique used in attractions like "It's a small world" in which each audio-animatronic plays some sound that contributes to the soundtrack, or is it just some trick with stereophonics (say, panning, surround, placing sounds in a way that your ear believes they come from some other point...) *phew* :) later, Nicola/Dj Batman bye, Nicola (Dj Batman) Battista # 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, 20 Mar 00 15:13:39 -0800 From: "B.J.

I was always told that the music for special parades like the original Main Street Electrical Parade (which also is no more) is actually 'broadcast' (from some park location) to the particular float that is passing you by at the moment. It's definitely not a case of the floats just piping out music being played from inside each float.... - --bj # 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, 20 Mar 2000 18:13:33 EST From: BasicHip@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Back on the list & Disney music Speaking of Disney Music... I picked up the That Darn Cat soundtrack not long ago and it was a real nice surprise. A combination of jazz, bongos, surf / beach party, a couple of Mancini-esque numbers and Louis Prima singing the title tune with a cat meowing in the background. Not sure about CD availability on this 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. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 00:27:26 +0000 From: "Giovanni Berti" Subject: (exotica) Las Vegas Grind, vol. 6 It's finally out.

Hello Exoticats, With so many excellent places to get streaming lounge/exotica on the net these days, and 24/7 or on demand, I hope you find the time to pop in and have some "Martinis with Mancini". My little program airs every Friday from 6-9AM Eastern Standard Time(Boston-NY time zone). From UMASS Lowell. Go here http://www.cs.uml.edu/misc/wjul/wjul.html for the RealAudio. We just got on line. Barely, because only 25 people can get in at a time. Talk about a small room. And at only 11khz. In order to prove we need more bandwidth and better equipment we have to show the college that we are getting some "hits". We are also going to be a soliciting the alumni and high-tech companies around here for some donations and equipment. More than ever, your comments will be appreciated. I?ll forward them to the General Manager and they help build a case for a bigger net presence!

It has been put out in 1997 by Virgin (cd and 2lp's) and I've been searching it ever since but no way could I track it down. A web search left me clueless. I wonder if it contains some exotica or it's just a suggestive title. I'm dubious, because it is subtitled something like "dance & mood". It is introduced by some Jack Arel, a name that is of no help to me. Johan? Anyone?

At one time all of the tracks were available but they changed that about 2 years ago. This applies to both Disneyland and WDW.

Major" Subject: (exotica) New jazz discography online... Because there are many on this list who enjoy jazz and people who play jazz, I am announcing a new website dedicated to an outstanding jazz sideman. Bobby Rosengarden has been one of the busiest studio musicians and jazz players in the U.S. His career is currently in its seventieth decade and in addition to making records with Benny Goodman, Walter Wanderley, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Milt Hinton, Miles Davis, and other greats, he did several decades' worth of work as a drummer and percussionist for both the NBC and ABC television networks. The bulk of recordings Bobby has played on fall in the jazz category, but you will see that he also has contributed to Polish and Brazilian recordings; that he is no stranger to work performed for the Broadway stage, and that he's even contributed to the realm of exotica with some early 'percussion only' albums in the mid-1950s. I invite you to visit the site and celebrate what will be Bobby's 76th birthday on April 23, 2000! - --bj Tribute to Bobby Rosengarden: http://members.xoom.com/bjbear71/Rosengarden/bobby.html http://bjbear2.freeservers.com/Rosengarden/bobby.html # 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, 20 Mar 2000 22:13:12 EST From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Back on the list & Disney music In a message dated 3/20/00 6:15:48 PM Eastern Standard Time, bjbear71@mindspring.com writes: << I was always told that the music for special parades like the original Main Street Electrical Parade (which also is no more) is actually 'broadcast' (from some park location) to the particular float that is passing you by at the moment.

Certain floats, especially the Main Street Electrical Parade ones, usually had their own "version" of the Baroque Hoedown. That float's music was in "sync" with the music playing from the speakers beside the parades pathway, but was distinctively different. The original Main Street Electrical Parade returned to WDW after about a 10 year hiatus.
