     I was also very influenced by the Badalamenti soundtracks; in fact
     'fire walk with me' was the first CD I ever bought.  It is
     brilliant, and far more varied than the tv soundtrack album.  The
     only other lynch/badalamenti soundtrack which I would recommend is
     WILD AT HEART, which, aside from two or three slightly duff tracks
     (Nicolas Cage singing 'be bop a lula' and 'love me tender' and some
     hard rock anthem) is fantastic.  It has more of a fifties influence
     than the twin peaks soundtrack, but some of the tracks would fit
     right in on TP.

     I saw an aged Andy Williams performing 'music to watch girls by' on
     'Top of the Pops' this week.  He sung live, and hasn't quite got it
     any more.  I must confess that my mind strayed and I kept wondering
     about him and Claudine...

Stockholm met David F Friedman this weekend, he was here with Mike =
Wraney and Lisa Petrucci from Something Weird Video with there =
filmfestival Something Weird 2000.

Dave was in a good mood, and obviously loved to be here. He watched many =
of his films, including "The erotic adventures of Zorro", in which he =
had the most disgusting part playing "Man with snake".

For those of you who still havent made any excursions into the =
psychotronic filmworld i can tell you that you really are missing =
something, the best exotica is featured in many many of them, i watched =
10 films this year, and found clips from "Man in space" in two of them. =
Probably there were clips from African Lament too. That was in of one of =
Daves films called "Trader Hornee". Lots of weird exotica in that one. =
Funny movie too!

Sadly enough last years festival was superior, the films then were all =
weird and strange, and i had a wonderful  time, but it looks like Mike =
want to attract a new kind of customers to his buisness, and not us who =
allready is "with it" and has seen a lot.

Bowanga Bowanga!

He had a  half a dozen lp's on Reprise.  He/his combo played
big residency gigs I understand at "P.J.'s"  in Hollywood/W.Hollywood.
(The "Trini Lopez" P.J.'s, yea).   Always love an opportunity to mention
my compadre Trini :)

P.J.'s became The Starwood later (early 70's, I think).   Cano's sthick was
an entirely enjoyable little latin flavored pop standards thing for the most
part.

The six or so Cano Reprise Lp's I own are terrific.   Not challanging, not
dopey either.  My uncle says he was pretty highly regarded with the early
6 T's  affluent Hollywood hipster crowd.

I agree with Paul.  I have just started finding and looking for
more of his records.

Most recently I found two of his Reprise LPs:

Eddie Cano at PJ's  R-6030 (stereo, despite the record number)
Broadway Right Now  RS-6124


Before Reprise, he recorded for RCA
Time for Cha Cha Cha  LSP-1672  1958
Deep in a Drum        LSP-1645
Cole Porter and Me    LPM-1340

Obviously there are more, but these are the only I know of.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Eddie Cano?

More on Eddie Cano from Leonard Feather's essential "The Encyclopedia of
Jazz:"

Piano is his main instrument but he also played trombone and bass.

It is possible he is still with us.  He was born in 1927 in a family of
musicians...his grandfather played in the Mexico City Symphony Orchestra
and his father played the bass and guitar.

After a stint in the Army he played with Miguelito Valdes from 45 to 46, then
led his own combo 1948 -49 before joining the Bobby Ramos band in 1949.  He
left
in 1953 to back up Tony Martinez.

According to Feather, Cano's favorite solo was "I Can Groove You" from
the 1956 RCA record "Cole Porter and Me."  He also recorded with Les Baxter
and
Cal Tjader.

>send a report to the list. Has anyone seen him recently?

I know i told some folks about this but not sure if i posted to the whole
list but
About 2 months ago i actually had the extreme honor of being in the company
of Mr. Williams for about 6 hours. i sat in on a AM radio interview my
buddy dj John Rouse did with him in Annapolis MD.
he told great tales of his early days as we drank straight rum for 3 hours.
the radio show (the dj was sloshed) got sooo sloppy, wrong songs were
played, songs cut short,  andre's mike was left open and lots of the seven
words you can't say were shocking listeners left and right. the phones were
ringing telling us about it! john just asked if they were taping it--no
proof, no sweat!
andre was loving it. it got so crazy that the station actually switched to
country station a couple days after! (it is a pretty conservative station
WYRE.)
we then took him to his gig in DC, he was unfortunately opening for John
Spencer (who i did not stay for). to sober up the trashed dj , Andre bought
us dinner at a Nation of Islam beans and rice joint (had i been eating
there myself i know i would have been sallowing some chef spit) in a rather
gritty section of DC still spouting off tales and "what it isms" of the
record industry.
 He was the coolest. what can you say? i felt like the luckiest guy on
earth that day. and i have a cool photo with him to remember it all by.

at the 9:30 club his set was way too short  (no encore) and was in the
style of his last LP on In The Red called Silky. Andre was wild and raunchy
but his back up band were a bunch of white boy rockers from Cali that, to
me, really were not that great.I heard when he played the night before in
Baltimore that he did a medley of older stuff like Bacon Fat for the encore.
i would like to see a show of more root down R+B rawness.
maybe if he is touring now as the headliner the show would be better and
especially if it is at a intimate venue.

do you have any tour dates?

    BOSTON (AP) -- Benjamin Gailing, a former actor in Yiddish theater and a
former radio host, died Saturday at age 100.
    Gailing also wrote two plays and one book, translated hundreds of songs
from English to Yiddish and wrote a humor column for a New York newspaper.
    He began his career as an actor with the Yiddish Art Theater. He also sang,
danced and played the violin on stages in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago
and Boston.
    For 53 years, Gailing was host of the Sunday morning Yiddish Radio Show on

                            *Brock Speer
    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Brock Speer, patriarch of the singing Speer Family
and former president, chairman of the board and permanent board member of
the Gospel Music Association, died Monday of natural causes at age 78.
    Speer started singing with his parents and siblings in 1925 and stayed with
them until an interruption caused by World War II.
    The Speer Family moved to Nashville in 1946. Over the course of their
career, the family recorded for a number of labels including Bullet,
Columbia, RCA, Benson, HeartWarming and Homeland.
    Country singer Chet Atkins used Speer and his brother, Ben, as backing
vocalists on recording sessions during the '50s.
    Both men joined Gordon Stoker of the Jordanaires on Elvis Presley's first
Nashville session for RCA Victor in 1956, according to The Tennessean. The
Speers also contributed to Presley sessions when he recorded his hit, ``I
Want You, I Need You, I Love You.''
    Speer was inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Hall of Fame in
1975. The Speer Family was inducted into the GMA Hall of Fame in 1998, the
first year groups were allowed to join, and they are the only group to
receive the GMA's Lifetime Achievement Award.

                          *Margaret Mason
    SILVERDALE, Wash. (AP) -- Actress Margaret Mason, who appeared in ``The
Manchurian Candidate'' in 1962 and more recently on a daytime soap opera,
died Friday of a heart attack. She was 58.
    Ms. Mason starred on Broadway in ``Boys Will Be Boys,'' and also appeared
on television shows including ``Wagon Train,'' ``Ironside,'' ``The Wild,
Wild West,'' ``Adam 12'' and ``Playhouse 90.''
    In addition to ``The Manchurian Candidate,'' she appeared in ``How to
Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,'' ``No Time For Sergeants,''
``The Train Doesn't Stop Here,'' ``Beach Party'' and ``Honeymoon Hotel.''
    She returned to daytime television later in her career, playing Eve Howard
in CBS' ``The Young and the Restless,'' from 1982-86, and again in 1993. She
also starred in the soaps ``General Hospital'' and ``Days of Our Lives.''

    LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Joe Williams, whose smooth baritone and collaborations
with Count Basie won him acclaim as one of the great voices of jazz,
collapsed and died on a city street after walking away from a hospital. He
was 80.
    Williams apparently died of natural causes, Clark County Coroner Ron Flud
said. He had walked several miles Monday and was a few blocks from home.
    His wife, Jillean, said he had been admitted to Sunrise Hospital a week ago
for a respiratory ailment. The hospital reported Williams missing several
hours before his body was found.
    Singer Robert Goulet said: ``At the age of 80, Joe could sing better than
most people at the age of 20. He was one of the greatest jazz and blues
singers of all time, and he was such a good man, too.''
    Williams' appeal stretched to other mediums: He played Bill Cosby's
father-in-law, Grandpa Al, on ``The Cosby Show'' in the 1980s. He and Cosby
were friends, and the childhood memories Grandpa Al spun on the show were
his own from Chicago.
    But his fame was in jazz. Williams became a sensation in 1955 when he
recorded ``Everyday I Have the Blues'' with Basie, and the two were together
for seven years. Williams repeatedly was chosen the top male jazz singer in
readers' polls for Downbeat and other magazines.
    ``I'm most pleasantly surprised at what still comes out of my throat,''
Williams said in an 1986 interview. ``I'm thrilled and thankful. I remember
Edward (Duke Ellington) saying, `I'm just a messenger boy for God.' Much of
what we do comes through us. I thank God for what comes through me.''
    Born Joseph Goreed on Dec. 12, 1918, in Cordele, Ga., the entertainer was
raised by his mother and grandmother. He found fun in playing the piano and
singing the spirituals he heard at the Methodist church where his mother was
the organist.
    In his teens in the 1930s, he led the singing group The Jubilee Boys in
performances in Chicago churches. He later sang solo in a Chicago club, and
made his professional debut in 1937 with the late Jimmy Noone.
    His big break came in 1943, when Williams was working as a security guard
to support himself. He wound up guarding the front door of the Regal Theater
and met jazz luminaries such as Duke Ellington. The Regal's manager sent
Williams to the Tick Tock in Boston to join Lionel Hampton's band, which had
its own powerhouse blues singer, Dinah Washington.
    The magic came with Basie. Williams said Basie hired him on the advice of
his band.
    ``Basie said, `I can't give you what you're worth. But, things get better
for me, they get better for you.' I had the good sense to go with him,''
Williams recalled.
    The two played together from 1954 to 1961, and Williams often performed
with Basie until his death in 1984; Williams dedicated his renditions of
``You Are So Beautiful'' to Basie.
    ``As a talent, he was one of the best blues singers in the world and also
one of the best ballad singers,'' added friend and singer Buddy Greco.
``There will never be anyone like him, again.''
    Tony Bennett recalled Williams once telling him: ``It's not that you want
to sing, it's that you have to sing.''
    ``He defined who I really am,'' Bennett said in 1992.
    Even in his later years, Williams sang on cruise ships, at festivals, in
hotels and clubs, working about 40 weeks a year. He was an avid golfer.
    Besides his wife, Williams is survived by his son, Joe; and his daughter,
Anne. Funeral information was not immediately available.

If you listened to NPR's Morning Edition, you would have found that Williams
was a "Blues Singer" and Andy Kirk fronted an "R&B band".

Thank heavens for these people!  I've been getting these "facts" wrong all this
time.

    I used to prefer the TV soundtrack (maybe because of the length of
some of the tracks on this CD, or because i never saw the movie, only the
tv seriers), but gradually started liking the film soundtrack as much.
Moody spooky finger-snapping lounge cool jazz.

a good friend of mine saw him in NYC 2 weeks ago and said he was terrible:
didn't seem to give a fuck, was fairly loaded, and spent too much time
doing chitlin circuit retreads like Mustang Sally amd Land of 1000 Dances,
alongside uninspired versions of his classics like 'Jailbait'.
