Yes, on the other side of part 2.  And, he later did a record called
'Turvey' pts
1 and 2.

Well, could we now discuss the 'Little' prefix phenomenon?  I got to thinking
last night at 01.55am (as you do) about various artists who either because of
their stature or age (both potentially non-PC concepts....) had stage names
starting with 'Little'.  e.g.,
Little Stevie Wonder        (Little later dropped)
Little Anthony
Little Richard
Little Peggy March
Little Eva
Little Jimmy Dickins (spelling?)

To provide balance, we ought to mention

Big Maybelle
Big Bopper

Finally,  someone mentioned Phil Upchurch.  What instrument did he play
in his combo please?  (assuming he did).

Thanks, Hugh.

Oh Nat, why oh why did you give us this opening!

The Cantina Band from Star Wars was such a wickedly original thing!
The setting, the added effects, surely it counts as some kind of Space
Exotica!!

And Star Trek, the original series...  my god, I grew up on that, man!
Remember the Orion Slavegirl?  Yeah, the one with green skin.  Well, there
was nothing hinting at the Exotic there, nah...

Both would/could be valid lines of discussion here.  But I'm only teasing.
: )

Come to think of it, I see now that the Star Trek theme, heard weekly, and
eventually daily in re-runs, has obviously had a deep impact on the trends
in my musical taste.  Voluntary brainwashing?  I tell ya, that Captain Kirk
was one helluva Space-Age Bachelor wouldn't you say?  And oh what a Bachelor
Pad he had!  ALL the amenities, and cocktails replicated from hundreds of
planets throughout the galaxy...   that's the life, man!  Yeah, baby!

Listening to the samples, it seems to be a comp of 50s/60s material from
the Del-Fi vaults. Seems to be mostly rock 'n' roll that fits into a loose
"jungle" theme. Dig those hot rod sounds on "Jungle Fever"! Kari Wuhrer is
a tv/b actress who's apparently indulging her Bettie Page impulses on the
cover.

 Perhaps YOU could help???
 Can anybody make recommendations as to which Carl Stalling LPs are
worth tracking down? And are his works like his cartoons? Did he ever
get serious with his music?

 As far as I know, there aren't any 'serious'(and I'm assuming you
mean 'non-cartoon') Carl Stalling recordings out there...but if there
are, I for one would like to hear them.
 There are two compilations of Carl Stalling cartoon scores available
on compact disc titled "The Carl Stalling Project". They offer bits
and pieces of his musical scores from various cartoons throughout his
career at Warner Brothers. Both are quite good, yet the zaniest music
in most Looney Tunes wasn't written by Mr. Stalling, but by a man
named Raymond Scott.(For those of you who know who Raymond Scott is,
you might as well go on to the next letter.)
 Raymond Scott, an accomplished musician who was VERY SERIOUS about
his work, recorded such cartoon soundtrack staples as "Powerhouse",
"The Tin Trumpet", and "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals"
as far back as the early 1930's...yet he never wrote or played a song
for a cartoon during his entire career. Some of his original songs can
be heard in certain "Ren & Stimpy" episodes.
 A Raymond Scott compilation (titled "Reckless Nights and Turkish
Twilights") is available on CD. The liner notes have an extensive
biography on Mr. Scott's life, career, inventions, innovations...and
his music.
 Well, I'm done. I hope I didn't bore anybody.

Subject: (exotica) Sinatra and the FBI

For the Sinatra fans;

Today's Washington Post Magazine has an interesting article tracing the
history between Frank Sinatra and the FBI.  A brief mention is made of
the 1962 show at the Villa Venice niteclub Wheeling, Ill with Frank,
Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Matin, and Eddie Fischer at the Villa Venice Club.
There's some other interesting things in their too.

One of my all-time favorite CDs is "Rock Instrumental Classics, Volume
1: the fifties" (Rhino R2 71601)".  I guess it's worth mentioning in
this list since it includes Cozy Cole's "Topsy II" and Preston Epps'
"Bongo Rock" which was also discussed here.  It doesn't include Sam
Taylor but "Harlem Nocturne" by the Viscounts, if that matters.

My copy is a British release. The label says 1972.

"The Famous Charisma Label" was a British label. My perception has always
been that they more or less specialized in prog rock. They had stateside
distribution through Buddha Records (yes, the big bubblegum label). Then
through Atlantic. The switch to Atlantic was probably fueled by their main
act: Genesis (I deeply apologize for mentioning that name here -- I hate
myself...). That's all I can really say about them. Oh yeah: their label
design featured Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit, Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat
- -- John Tenniel illustrations or a facsimile thereof.

I third the thumbs up on Robert Maxwell.  Ebb Tide is his own composition,
too.  It, along with his tune Shangri-La, are two exotica standards that have
been covered on many great exotica/spage age records.  Bobby isn't one of the
pillars of exotica, but his records are almost always listenable and at times,
quite hip.  Check out his version of "Nature Boy" on Shangri-La.

Wonder why they haven't released other records of hers.  I have one called
"Huntington Ashram Monastery" - on Impulse like the others - and I don't
believe it's been reissued.  It's just a trio with Alice, Ron Carter and
Rashied Ali so it's a bit different than the others but it's definitely got
that heavenly sound.

Subject: (exotica) Showbiz, don't ya love it

Lawrence Welk fans, stop reading here.
The rest of you, I have a little story.  It doesn't really go anywhere but
it does have lounge/exotica content.  Mostly though it just makes me think
about showbiz and smoke-filled rooms.
It starts off with this friend of mine who's a musician and also owns a
used record store.  He goes to the biggest music store here in Toronto,
"Long and McQuade" to buy some Burt Bacharach sheet music and it turns out
that the guy who sells it to him once played trombone with Bacharach.
Don't ask me when because I don't know.
Anyway, when this guy hears that my friend has a used record store, he
tells him that he's been looking for this Nelson Riddle record."The Joy of
Living".  Apparently he's interested in the trombone player on the record.
My friend says he thinks he does and the guy says he'll call in a couple of
days.  As it turns out, my friend does have the record, just like I do. I
think it's a pretty drab record but I keep it for the cover.  It turns out
that my friend hasn't put it out for sale for the same reason.  He likes
the cover.
But this guy is so eager to find it - and willing to pay good money for it
- - that my friend decides to sell it to him.
So I'm in the store today, sampling records and I'm playing Lawrence Welk's
version of "The theme from S.W.A.T" just as this guy phones to see if my
friend has the record.
Well, for me the story could end when this guy, hearing the tune through
the phone, identifies it as the Lawrence Welk version.  That's pretty
impressive right there.
But then he tells my friend this story.  It seems that Michael Caine and
Milton Berle were at a party and Berle was smoking a cigar.  So Caine asks
Berle what kind of cigar it is.  And Berle says "It's a Lawrence Welk".
And of course Caine asks "A Lawrence Welk??" And Berle says "Yeah. It's
some crap with a band around it".

Ah yes, the good 'ol vibra-slap.  I LOVE VIBRA-SLAP'S
BOING!  No!  Not Schwing!  BOING!  Kind of anyways.

It is a hand held percussive instrument that is held straight up and has a
FLAT polished piece of wood, much like a large paddle, with a handle that
you hold.

If I remember correctly as I only saw it played once a
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG ASS TIME AGO BY CE in a tiny tiny little club in San
Jose, CA, where I 1st spoke with Cleve.

So, attached to this paddle thing, is a curved wire or piece of metal of
sorts that has a wooden ball or something on the end of it and when you
SLAP IT against the palm of your hand it RATTLES a WOODEN BUZZZZZZZZZ.

You'd know it when you hear it.  I can't remember who uses it or a
particular title or soundtrack, BUT I'M SURE CLEVE OR ASHLEY WILL COME TO
YOUR RESCUE!

I am sure Ennio Morricone uses vibra-slap's a lot in his stuff.
It is a CLASSIC SOUND!

I love vibra-slap's:)  ((((((((((BOING)))))))) (((((((((((BUZZZZZZZZ))))))))

Subject: Re: (exotica) Showbiz, don't ya love it

Nat's posting reminded me of something I read in today's paper, which I
just had to share with you all ;-)

Fort Lupton, Colorado (Robert Weller, Associated Press)

  They don't take requests at this after-hours club, and there's
definitely no karaoke.
  The DJ is a police officer, and he's ready to bounce anyone who dances
or talks.
  Municipal Judge Paul Sacco requires people convicted of violating the
city's noise ordinance to listen to music they don't like.
  The noise scofflaws - most of whom got in trouble for playing their
stereos too loud - gather once a month, on a weekend night, to listen to
court-selected songs.
  The offenders are mostly young, so there is a heavy dose of lounge
music, including Wayne Newton and Dean Martin, plus some Navajo flute
music, bagpipes and John Denver songs.  God help us all.
  During the most recent session, the group of seven heard one of the
judge's own jazz compositions, I'm Sleeping In My Car.
  Seventeen-year-old David Mascarenas was apparently scared straight.
  "I'm not going to jam no more," Mascarenas said.   "I took my stereo
out already. I don't want to be hassled no more."
  Court co-ordinator Patrice Redearth, who suggested the one-hour music
treatment, said she got her first playlist by asking her 17-year-old
"what the kids would hate."

As a public serveice, we should put our heads together and cook up a mix for

I'll start with TAmmy Faye Bakker's, "Oops. there  comes  a smile." Add some

Really, the original Star Trek theme had all the elements of exotica...
except it has become TOO familiar.  Listen some time...the bongos, the
wordless vocals (although this may only be in the first year).  Stretch out
the theme for another couple of minutes (see the "2nd pilot" episode
beginning which has an extended theme to give you an idea) and you can hear
the true exotic connections.  I have often thought if the theme had any
ties to Desi Arnez, being that the first year of Star Trek was produced by
Desilu before becoming part of Paramount.  I have often considered that it
was Desi himself playing the bongos.

Oh, but my mind meanders!

She is a regular on the Sci Fi Channel's (formerly Fox's) Sliders TV
series.  She has done some pretty sexy things there...and dressed quite
provacatively at times as well.  I am certainly tempted by these CDs
because she is on the cover, but I guess that is the idea.  Ah, those
clever marketers!

Subject: (exotica) Info please...

Just bought an ancient (1955 or so, I'd say..) 10" LP by Bill Snyder
and his magic piano and orchestra.   Eight tracks inc. Bewitched,
Drifting Sands (vocal: Ralph Sterling), Choppin' up Chopin, etc.

Definitely an American outfit: anyone any info please, especially
the US label?  It's a UK record on London American series, most
of which show the US label name, but this early one doesn't.

It's actually very listenable.

Hugh.

I think the only one of those who truly deserved the name was Little Jimmy
Dickens who couldn't be taller than four feet.  Then again calling him
"little" was kind of redundant.  And if you only know him as the "mascot"
of the Grand Ole Opry, you're missing some good country records.

Guitar.  He also played electric sitar on a record called "Lovin Feelin".
There's a tune called "Sitar Soul" but your imagination of what it could be
is probably better than what it actually is.

The 2 volumes of The Carl Stalling Project (CD, Warner Brothers) are
highly reccommended. I am not awar of any LPs with his music.
The CD Bugs Bunny on Broadway is also very nice. It's not credited to
Stalling though, but to the Warner Bros Symponhy Orchestra.

       o LP, Basenotic B.A.T.C. 001 (Distr. in France: Discograph) France,
         1998 | +++
       o info: Jean Jacques Perrey is back, which on itself is great,
         although this LP is certainly not the best thing he ever did. Side
         A is more a novelty than a Moog record, full of musical jokes. The
         whole LP lacks good melodies. Instead of writing the melody first,
         and then playing it with lots of funny sounds, they seam to have
         worked the other way 'round, by chaining wacky sounds without
         hardly any melodic structure. About half of the tracks are
         remarkably serious for the clownesque Mr. Perrey, with modern
         trip-hoppy/technoid influences that might be too aggressive for
         the typical "old" J.J. Perrey fan, but then again, they might
         attract a whole new and young public, which is great!
