What is most stunning is the direct theft of the title.  Weren't these
things copywrighted?  I could understand a title that cleverly referred
to another, but taking the exact words is low even for a budget label.

I think that that wacky harmonica trio/qrt, whatever, came up with the
title before Capitol did.
I'm not sure if that Harp LP was ever released in Stereo, might have been,
but the Capitol LP was well into the 60's with its release and that harp
LP, was before it.

No such luck.  It's just another one of those attempts by a budget label
(Seeco records) to cash in on a trend.  The cover has a cool, zany
appearance, but the music is dullsville and even sounds like one of
those records that had existed for many years and just got re-released
as a public domain item with a new name.

Subject: (exotica) Harps & Slaps

1. Harpo could make time stand still when he played the harp. "Harpo In
Hi-Fi" has some classy Fred Katz orchestral arrangements of standards
like Autumn Leaves, My Funny Valentine and That's All, but nothing
exotic except for a little bit of whistling on a few cuts, as Harpo did
often in the movies. I've said it before, but watch for the "I Love
Lucy" where he plays a mesmerizing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game."

2. Dorothy Ashby's "The Jazz Harpist" is straight-ahead jazz, nothing
fancy, but she goes well with Frank Wess's flute.

3. Alice Coltrane is indeed the exotic harpist, espec when backed by oud
or tamboura drone on parts of her Impulse records. She also has a few
minutes perfectly named "Celestialness" in Roland Kirk's wild
"Expansions" suite on the recently reissued "Left and Right" , part of a
4 CD package on 32 Jazz records. There is an unusual harp and harmonica
tune on one of the other CD's in that set, Kirk on harmonica and Gloria
Agostini on standard harp.

4. First place I ever saw a vibraslap listed was on the Dead's
brain-frying "Anthem of the Sun", which also had prepared piano. Jerry
plays vibraslap in that wild little percussion section that also
features claves, guiro, the two drummers and lots of ping-ponging before
the boys launch into the blood-curdling but gorgeous
Alligator/Caution/Feedback" jam, which I saw them do live a few times.
And the gongs, those goddam gongs !!!

Subject: (exotica) Stanley Kubrick obits

    HERTFORDSHIRE, England, March 7 (UPI) -- Film director Stanley Kubrick,
whose films have intrigued, shocked and mesmerized audiences for four
decades, has died at his home in Hertfordshire, England, near London. He was
70.=20
    Known for innovative and influential films such as ``A Clockwork Orange,''
``Spartacus,'' ``2001: A Space Odyssey'' and ``Full Metal Jacket,'' Kubrick
was preparing for the release of ``Eyes Wide Shut,'' starring Tom Cruise and
Nicole Kidman, in July.=20
    A spokeswoman said: ``The family of Stanley Kubrick regret to announce that
Stanley Kubrick died in the early hours of this morning. There will be no
further comment at this time.''=20
    Kubrick was enigmatic and notoriously reclusive, and sometimes ordered his
casts and crews to keep the details of his films secret. The official Web
page for ``Eyes Wide Shut'' contains only the title and the release date.
Rumors abound about Kubrick's new film, but a few details have emerged:
Cruise and Kidman play married psychologists who have bizarre secret lives
and affairs.=20
    Kubrick's films have often been controversial -- his adaptation of author
Anthony Burgess's ``A Clockwork Orange'' spares no details in its portrayal
of an ultra-violent British youth gang. Likewise, his contribution to the
horror genre, 1980's ``The Shining,'' based on Stephen King's novel, and his
1987 Vietnam War study ``Full Metal Jacket'' also give full attention to the
grotesque side of human nature.=20
    But Kubrick, a demanding and rigorous director, could also craft scenes of
stunning beauty. ``2001: A Space Odyssey,'' which won Oscars in 1969 for
best special visual effects, set the visual standard for science fiction
films. Its graceful depictions of spaceflight still look authentic even by
the standards of current high-tech special effects.=20
    He was born in New York on July 26, 1928 and throughout his childhood
earned a reputation for being smarter than his grades in school indicated.
His father Jack sent him to Pasadena, Calif., to live with an uncle in 1940,
but it didn't help, and Kubrick came back to the Bronx a year later.=20
    Soon after, Jack gave Stanley a camera for his birthday, and by age 17 he
had taken a job as an apprentice photographer at Look Magazine. Kubrick
leaped into the film industry in 1950, using his life savings to make the
boxing documentary ``Day of the Fight.''=20
    He was commissioned to shoot two documentaries, ``Flying Padre'' in 1951
and ``The Seafarers'' in 1952 and his major break came three years later
with Fear and Desire, which he wrote, photographed and financed with $13,000
borrowed from relatives.=20
    He formed a production company to make ``The Killing,'' a crime drama,
which brought him to the notice of the critics, and followed it in 1957 with
the controversial and powerful film, ``Paths of Glory,'' an indictment of
military hypocrisy.=20
    Kubrick's next film, Spartacus, was an 187-minute Roman saga and was hailed
by critics upon its release in 1960. Its battle spectacles are famous, but
it had more intellectual substance than many of the epics Hollywood was
famous for. He followed it with an adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's=
 ``Lolita.''=20
    ``Dr. Strangelove,'' Kubrick's 1965 black-and-white Cold War black comedy,
got him his first Oscar nominations for best director, best picture and best
adapted screenplay. The film is a classic satire, and its key scene of actor
Slim Pickens riding a bomb as it drops to earth is one of Hollywood's most
famous on-screen moments.=20
    Kubrick also received best director, best picture and best adapted
screenplay nods for ``A Clockwork Orange'' and the 1976 period piece ``Barry
Lyndon,'' about an 18th century Irish rogue-hero who takes up gambling as a
career but eventually marries the widow of a wealthy knight and lets his
newfound society life go to his head.=20
    Kubrick's other Oscar nominations included best director for ``2001'' and
one for the adapted screenplay for ``Full Metal Jacket.''=20
    British director Michael Winner told the British Broadcasting Corp. today
that he was shocked to learn of Kubrick's death. ``I will miss him
terribly,'' he said. Winner said he had planned to phone Kubrick on Monday
to offer him a lifetime award from the Directors Guild of Great Britain.=20
    In 1997, Kubrick received the D.W. Griffith award, the highest honor
bestowed by the Directors Guild of America.=20
    He joined in 1990 with directors Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Francis Ford
Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Robert Redford, Sydney Pollack and George Lucas
in forming the Film Foundation, an organization meant to promote the
restoration and preservation of films.=20
    Kubrick began filming ``Eyes Wide Shut'' in November 1996. In February
1998, Variety reported that he had finished shooting all the scenes, but by
the end of the year the film still wasn't ready for release.=20
    Another of Kubrick's announced films, ``Artificial Intelligence'' or AI,
said by critics to be one of the most technically challenging and innovative
special effects films yet attempted, is still being developed. There was no
word today on its fate.=20

 *Stanley Kubrick    =09
    LONDON (AP) -- Stanley Kubrick, a visionary craftsman whose films--
including ``Dr. Strangelove,'' ``A Clockwork Orange'' and ``2001: A Space
Odyssey'' -- often reflected a violent and despairing view of life, died
Sunday. He was 70.=20
    Police were summoned Sunday to Kubrick's rural estate in Herfordshire, 25
miles northwest of London, and certified his death. ``There are no
suspicious circumstances,'' police said.=20
    At the time of his death, the publicity-shy Kubrick was preparing for the
midyear release of ``Eyes Wide Shut,'' his first film in 12 years. Starring
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the film had been shrouded in the secrecy that
attended all of Kubrick's later movies.=20
    Over a career spanning four decades, Kubrick worked infrequently but often
brilliantly, and was regarded as a maverick talent -- to some, a genius.=20
    ``Stanley Kubrick was the grandmaster of filmmaking. He copied no one,
while all of us were scrambling to imitate him,'' director Steven Spielberg
said in a statement released by his office.=20
    Kubrick was a fierce perfectionist who wouldn't do one take if he could do
a hundred.=20
    Kubrick chronicled the effects of war in ``Fear and Desire'' (1953) and
``Paths of Glory'' (1957); the suicidal logic of the Cold War in the blackly
comic ``Dr. Strangelove: or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the
Bomb'' (1964); and sexual obsession in ``Lolita'' (1962).=20
    ``2001: A Space Odyssey,'' with its dazzling visual imagery and inspired
use of music, was a great success, and Kubrick got the second of his four
Academy Award nominations for best director. The other nominations were for
``Dr. Strangelove,'' ``Barry Lyndon,'' and ``A Clockwork Orange,'' which
unlike ``2001'' were also nominated for best picture.=20
    ``A Clockwork Orange,'' set in a violent future, was one of Kubrick's most
provocative films and was disparaged by Anthony Burgess, whose novel was the
basis of the film. Burgess accused Kubrick of turning his novelistic study
of free will into an orgy of violence.=20

March 8, 1999
Stanley Kubrick, Film Director With a Bleak Vision, Dies at 70
http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-kubrick.html
By STEPHEN HOLDEN, NYTimes
     Stanley Kubrick, the famously reclusive director of such classic films
as "Dr. Strangelove," "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "A Clockwork Orange," died
Sunday at his home in England, his family said. He was 70.=20
     The police were summoned to Kubrick's rural home in Hertfordshire,
north of London, Sunday afternoon, when he was pronounced dead.=20
      "There are no suspicious circumstances," a police spokesman said.
Kubrick's family announced his death and said there would be no further
comment.=20
     One of the few American directors who had the prestige to make
big-budget movies while working outside the Hollywood mainstream, Kubrick
directed coldly brilliant films that explored humanity's baser instincts
with great visual flair and often savage wit. Although those films won eight
Academy Awards, none were for best director.=20
     That may be because his subjects were often dark. The comic satire "Dr.
Strangelove," made at the height of the cold war, portrayed the military as
a collection of incompetent, jingoistic yahoos itching for an chance to
unleash nuclear devastation.=20
     The film was a harsher and much funnier version of the same vision of
military pathology and hypocrisy found in "Paths of Glory," the movie that
brought him to prominence in 1957, and that was reiterated 30 years later in
"Full Metal Jacket."=20
     Kubrick's sarcasm and ironic humor flared memorably in "Dr.
Strangelove" in the juxtaposition of Vera Lynn singing "We'll Meet Again"
against images of nuclear catastrophe. It was also evident in "The Blue
Danube Waltz" accompanying a space-docking sequence in "2001" and in a scene
of Malcolm McDowell jauntily crowing "Singin' in the Rain" while delivering
a brutal beating in "A Clockwork Orange." That film's savagery was so
pointed that some critics complained that the movie glorified violence.=20
     Kubrick withdrew the film from distribution in Britain after it was
said to have inspired copycat crimes. But if Kubrick's misanthropy prompted
some critics to accuse him of coldness and inhumanity, others saw his
pessimism as an uncompromisingly Swiftian vision of human absurdity.=20
     Kubrick's chilly outlook coincided with his reputation for being an
extreme perfectionist who insisted on control over every aspect of his
films, from casting and screenwriting to editing, lighting and music. It
often took him many months and sometimes years to complete a film. He was
known to film up to 100 takes of a scene.=20
     Increasingly reclusive, he announced in 1974 that he was settling
permanently in England. Refusing to give interviews, he withdrew so
completely that an Englishman impersonated him for several months before
being discovered.=20

 ----------------------
     Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26, 1928, in the Bronx. As a child he
was encouraged by his father, a doctor, to take up still photography, and
when he was 17 he was hired as a staff photographer by Look magazine, which
had been impressed by a picture he had snapped the day President Franklin D.
Roosevelt died.=20
     While working at Look he attended film screenings at the Museum of
Modern Art and later said that seeing so many bad films gave him the
confidence to do better.=20
     "I was aware that I didn't know anything about making films, but I
believed I couldn't make them any worse than the majority of films I was
seeing," Kubrick once said. "Bad films gave me the courage to try making a
movie."=20
     In 1950 he quit his job at Look to make his first film, "Day of the
Fight," a 16-minute documentary, which he sold to RKO-Path=E9.=20
     He completed two more documentary shorts before making his feature
debut in 1953 with "Fear and Desire," a low-budget film that was financed
with family money, and that he wrote, directed, photographed and edited.=20
     After making a second feature, "Killer's Kiss," he formed a production
company in 1954 with a producer, James B. Harris, and made "The Killing," a
drama about a racetrack heist starring Sterling Hayden.=20
     Kubrick's fourth full-length film, "Paths of Glory," established him as
one of the most promising postwar American filmmakers. The World War I
drama, starring Kirk Douglas, was a devastating indictment of military
duplicity that still stands as one of the most powerful antiwar movies.=20
     He made "The Killing" and "Paths of Glory" for a percentage of the
profits, and both received critical acclaim while faring indifferently at
the box office.=20
     Two years later, in 1959, Kubrick was invited to replace Anthony Mann,
the director of the high-budget Roman epic "Spartacus," which starred
Douglas as the leader of a slave rebellion against the Roman state. The
film, released in 1960, was noticeably more intelligent than most Roman
spectacles of the era and was an enormous box-office success.=20
     Soon after, Kubrick moved to England, where he hoped to maintain
greater creative control of his films than he could in Hollywood.=20
     But he soon returned to the United States to scout locations for
"Lolita," an adaptation of the Vladimir Nabokov novel in which James Mason
played Humbert Humbert, the middle-aged lover of the pubescent Lolita (Sue
Lyon).=20
     The director's taste for the controversial and bizarre sharpened with
the nightmarish comic satire "Dr. Strangelove" (subtitled "How I Learned to
Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"), which imagined nuclear Armageddon as a
macabre joke. More than any other film "Dr. Strangelove" established
Kubrick's reputation for coldness.=20
     The successes of "Spartacus," "Lolita" and "Dr. Strangelove" gave
Kubrick the rare freedom to choose his subjects and to control his projects.
For the next several years, he worked on the science fiction epic "2001"
(1968), which he wrote with Arthur C. Clarke. Its spectacular psychedelic
effects earned the film a reputation as the era's quintessential "head"
movie. In its visual grandeur and dazzling special effects, "2001" paved the
way for George Lucas's "Star Wars" trilogy.=20
     In an interview with Playboy magazine, Kubrick said that in "2001" he
had "tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized
pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and
philosophic content . . . just as music does. . . . You're free to speculate
as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning."=20
     After the spaced-out fantasies of "2001," in which the hero is reborn
as an angelic child, Kubrick's pessimism reared up savagely in his
adaptation of the Anthony Burgess novel "A Clockwork Orange."=20
     The work was voted the year's best in 1971 by the New York Film Critics
Circle, which also named Kubrick best director. The film paints a portrait
of Alex ( McDowell), a violent, homicidal thug who is sadistically
brainwashed into placidity by the state, and it has no sympathetic=
 characters.=20
     "Dr. Strangelove," "2001" and "A Clockwork Orange" were the high-water
marks in a career that stumbled with "Barry Lyndon" (1975), a visually
stunning but static film based on a Thackeray novel in which the director
took enormous pains to evoke a lighting and imagery that would recreate an
authentic 18th-century ambiance. The costly movie took 300 shooting days to
complete and fared only modestly at the box office.=20
     Five years later came "The Shining," an icy Gothic fable based on a
Stephen King novel in which a writer (Jack Nicholson) holes up with his
family in a Colorado hotel and goes mad, turning into a homicidal maniac.=20
     Kubrick's next film, "Full Metal Jacket" (1987), adapted from Gustav
Hasford's novel "The Short-Timers," was a grim near-horror movie about the
Vietnam War.=20
     Kubrick was married four times. His marriages to Toba Metz in 1948,
Ruth Sobtka in 1954 and Susanne Harlan (with whom he had three daughters) in
1958 ended in divorce. He is survived by his fourth wife, Christiane, and
his daughters Katharine, Anya and Vivian.=20
     Kubrick had recently finished editing his final film, "Eyes Wide Shut,"
a psychosexual thriller based on Arthur Schnitzler's "Traumnovelle" ("Dream
Story") and starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as psychiatrists. Filmed
in Britain in an atmosphere of military secrecy, it took 15 months to shoot.
The film is to be released on July 16.=20

Subject: (exotica) R.J. Smith Interview

Did anyone in Los Angeles besides me catch R.J. Smith on the Global Music show
on KPFK this morning from 11am to 12:30pm?  I taped most of it..  He played
alot of "exotica 101" type stuff off alot of early generic compilations...
some Yma Sumac, Baxter, Denny... nothing special but what was interesting was
his statements concerning lounge culture and the future of Capitol Releases, I
assume he meant Ultra Lounge, since they provided alot of complimentary music
for him.  Contrary to what we have all been assuming Mr. Smith assured the
radio listeners that Capital had plenty of new releases planned.  I will have
to re-listen to the tape to see if I can cull any more info than that, but at
this point I am not sure if he meant more Ultra Lounge releases or if he meant
re-issues of old lounge albums.  Anyone out there hear this interview and can
comment?

I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but I was at work and it was really hard
to pay attention and type a report at the same time!

Subject: (exotica) Ann Corio, Stefan Hatos obits

                             *Ann Corio
    ENGLEWOOD, N.J. (AP) -- Ann Corio, the queen of burlesque who kept the
tradition alive into the age of X-rated movies, died March 1. She was
believed to be in her 80's.
    One of the last to practice the art of striptease as a put-on, Ms. Corio
said her shows emphasized comedy and didn't contain full nudity.
    Her two decade run of ``This Was Burlesque,'' a musical satire based on Ms.
Corio's recollections, began off Broadway in 1962. Over the years, Ms. Corio
served as author, director and star.
    In the 1980's, the show moved to the Playhouse Mall in Paramaus, where it
was eventually filmed by HBO for cable television.
    Ms. Corio, who retired from show business about eight years ago, was always
proud of the burlesque tradition. She said her shows were entertainment the
whole family could watch.
    As she once put it, ``We do nothing you wouldn't write home about to your
aunt in East Cupcake, Ohio.''

March 9, 1999
Ann Corio, Who Helped Keep Alive the Memory of Burlesque, Is Dead
By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER,NYTimes

NEW YORK -- Ann Corio, the auburn-haired, green-eyed queen of burlesque
whose long-running show, "This Was Burlesque," kept alive the art of
strippers and the comedy of baggy-pants clowns in the age of the X-rated
film, died on March 1 at Englewood Hospital in Englewood, N.J. Ms. Corio, a
resident of Cliffside Park, N.J., kept her age a closely guarded secret, but
was believed to be in her 80s.
     A survivor of a shapely sisterhood that included Gypsy Rose Lee, Maggie
Hart and Georgia Sothern, Ms. Corio lasted long enough to reach the iconic
status that enabled her to present the striptease as a put-on.
     "We emphasize comedy," she said one day in 1976 as she discussed her
show, which began Off Broadway in 1962 and continued for at least two
decades in various productions, tours and revivals with Ms. Corio as author,
director, star and interlocutor. "There is no total nudity. The girls are
lovely and artistic, and they're terribly, terribly pretty.
     "What is called burlesque today isn't that at all. Those girls aren't
artists. They just take clothes off, and they don't even do that very well.
Burlesque is exactly what it says it is. It's from the Italian word burlare,
to satirize, to laugh. That's what we do, and we are not offensive."
     Those old enough to remember when strippers in burlesque houses were
regarded as hot stuff could recall Ms. Corio as a reigning beauty of the
East Coast wheel of burlesque houses that extended from Boston to
Washington, with many a whistle-stop in between.
     Her fame won her roles in jungle films like "Swamp Woman" (1941) and
touring stage productions like "White Cargo," in which she sashayed onstage
one night in Boston, playing a native girl under a light layer of brown
powder and not much more. When she declaimed, "I am Tondelayo," a Harvard
undergraduate leaped from his seat and shouted, "What an actress!"
     Legend had it that it was said in Boston, "You can't graduate from
Harvard until you've seen Ann Corio."
     The play had the honor of being banned in Boston, Chicago and Hoboken,
N.J.
     Of her movies, Ms. Corio said, "Those pictures always made money, and I
made a lot of money. I asked for $10,000 a week and a percentage and got it,
but I didn't know they were going to shoot the movie in six days. They
didn't want the movie good. They wanted it Tuesday. I was the Queen of the
Quickies. Those pictures weren't released, they escaped."
     As burlesque faded away, Ms. Corio toured in shows like "Rain," "Cat on
a Hot Tin Roof" and "Once More With Feeling" until she conceived the idea of
"This Was Burlesque."
     "We're naughty and bawdy, but never vulgar," she said. "More than half
our audience are women. They love it. Even the kids respond to it. To go to
a movie these days, you need a computer to figure out the ratings. The whole
family can see my show."
     "Nudity," she added, "is an invasion of privacy on both sides of the
footlights."
     Ms. Corio was one of 12 children of Italian immigrants from Naples who
settled in Hartford, Conn., where, she said, she was once a Sunday school
teacher. Her father died when she was young, and, at 16, after working as a
dancer, she discovered she could earn more on the burlesque circuit.
     In addition to her husband, Michael P. Iannucci, she is survived by two
sisters, Helen LaRue of West Hartford, Conn., and Lillian Denote of Bristol,
Conn.
     "This Was Burlesque," billed as a musical satire based on Ms. Corio's
recollections, opened at the Casino East Theater on Second Avenue and 12th
Street in Manhattan and ran for 1,509 performances before it moved to the
Hudson Theater on Broadway and ran for 124 more. Over the ensuing years,
numerous productions played across the country from Miami to Las Vegas to
San Juan. The last performance was in St. Petersburg, Fla., in 1991.
     In a 1981 review of a revival at the Princess Theater on West 48th
Street, Richard F. Shepard of The New York Times wrote: "Miss Corio, who
looks radiant, does it all by the book and, whether you like the book or
not, it is to her credit that she catches the flavor of the old burlesque
with little attempt to ennoble or elevate it. This is close to the real thing."
     Ms. Corio and her third husband, Iannucci, a former linebacker for the
Pittsburgh Steelers, made millions from the show. Eventually, they leased
the Playhouse on the Mall in Paramus, N.J., where, for many years, they
presented legitimate productions and where "This Was Burlesque" was
eventually filmed as an HBO cable attraction.
     Ms. Corio, who retired about eight years ago, recalled that shortly
after the show first opened on Second Avenue, the police showed up. "One
night we thought we were being raided, but it was only the cops arriving to
escort Mike to the bank. We never had trouble with the police. And I was
invited to Gracie Mansion. Mayor Wagner insisted I sit next to him for the
photographers."
     As a result of charges that burlesque had become lewd and unsavory, it
was banned in New York in 1937. Five years later, it was permitted to
return, but without the use of the label and in a restricted format. A court
finally lifted the ban in 1955.
     Nevertheless, Ms. Corio's efforts to present her show at the 1964-65
World's Fair in Flushing Meadows, Queens, were rebuffed by Robert Moses, the
pillar of municipal rectitude who presided over the corporation that ran the
event.
     "You know, we're really quite mild compared to what children are
exposed to on television -- topless bathing suits and all," Ms. Corio said.
     But the show did not go on.
     "There's nothing really new," she said. "It's comedy, pretty girls,
bubble gum, stepping on toes, the kind of stuff you can leave your brains
home for. It's burlesque."
     As she once put it, "We do nothing you wouldn't write home about to
your aunt in East Cupcake, Ohio."

                          *Stefan Hatos
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- ``Let's Make A Deal'' gameshow co-creator Stefan Hatos,
a longtime radio and television writer and producer, died of a heart ailment
March 2. He was 78.
    Hatos began his career at age 19 behind the microphones of Detroit stations
WJLB and WXYZ. While doing announcing work, he wrote episodes of ``The Lone
Ranger'' and ``The Green Hornet.''
    Hatos then moved to New York where he wrote episodes of Orson Welles'
Mercury Theater and ``Inner Sanctum.'' He worked for CBS until World War II
when he was commissioned in the Navy in 1942.
    After the war, he returned to CBS Radio in New York and Chicago. He also
directed ``Lucky Strike Hit Parade'' for NBC Radio and produced ``Ladies Be
Seated'' for ABC Radio.
    He won a Peabody Award for the ABC-TV show, ``The Adventures of Uncle
Mistletoe.'' Hatos probably was best known for the gameshow ``Let's Make A
Deal,'' with host Monty Hall. It debuted in 1963 and ran for 16 years in
daytime and 10 years in primetime on NBC and ABC.
    Hatos is survived by his wife, Shirley; a daughter; a brother and a sister.
