                           *Daniel N. Cooke
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Retired police Lt. Daniel N. Cooke, a Police Department
spokesman for 22 years and technical adviser to movies and television
programs such as ``Dragnet'' and ``Adam 12,'' died April 30 of cancer. He
was 72.
    Cooke was the department's most prominent spokesman for many years before
his retirement in 1988.
    As the department's technical adviser to the entertainment industry he
reviewed television and movie scripts. He became a friend of ``Dragnet''
star and producer Jack Webb, who created the ``just the facts, ma'am'' image
of Los Angeles police detectives.
    In syndicated reruns, ``Dragnet'' was called ``Badge 714'' -- Cooke's badge
number.
    Cooke joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1953, walking a downtown
beat before becoming press relations officer in 1964.

                             *Joel Price
    COMMERCE, Ga. (AP) -- Joel Price, the man credited with introducing the
electric bass to country music at the Grand Ole Opry, died Monday of a heart
attack. He was 88.
    Tired of lugging around the hefty bass fiddle, which would frequently go
out of tune, Price bought a Fender electric bass for $100, according to
former Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs.
    Playing with Country Music Hall of Famer ``Little'' Jimmy Dickens, Price
became the first to play the electric bass on stage at the Opry in
Nashville, Tenn.
    Citing a 1997 interview with Price, Stubbs said the Georgia native was
``quite possibly the first to play that instrument in country music.''
    Price played bass on Dickens' classics ``We Could'' and ``Take Me As I Am
or Let Me Go.''
    Price got his start with Tommy Scott in 1937 and also played with Bill
Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys and George Morgan.

                         *William Woodward 3d
    NEW YORK (AP) -- William Woodward 3d, whose family was known for its wealth
and violent deaths, died Sunday after plunging from his Manhattan high-rise.
He was 54 and had been under psychiatric care.
    Woodward's father, William Woodward Jr., was killed in 1955 by his wife,
Ann, at their estate on Long Island. A grand jury cleared Mrs. Woodward of
wrongdoing. She killed herself shortly before the publication of a book by
Truman Capote fictionalizing the incident. Woodward's brother died after
jumping from a hotel.
    Woodward twice ran for office unsuccessfully, in 1978 for the state Senate
and in 1981 for the New York City Council.
    He worked as a reporter for The New York Post from 1968 to 1971. Later he
founded and published More, a journalism review.
    Woodward is survived by his wife and a daughter.

Subject: Re: (exotica) persistence of memory

I remember nothing about the music on first record that fascinated me. I
remember the record itself though.

This kids' record had a simple animation printed on the vinyl -- frogs on
lily pads and fish in a pond. When the record spun on a turntable, the
frogs dove from the lily pads and fish jumped in tidy arcs. Vivid colors.
But music? Dunno.

First music: Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals. I adored them
and still do. Recently picked up a Jimmy Smith P&W, conducted and arranged
for jazz orchestra by Oliver Nelson, Creed Nelson, producer (Verve, '66).
No narration, funny music with a cover shot of Jimmy vamping in a wolf
skin. Hilarious hipster liner notes say a P&W with narration was in the
works. Anyone know if Verve ever released that record?

Thanks for stirring this chatter, m.ace.

A friend from Japan taped the theme from a cartoon series for me. It's called

 from
the Foreword

Little Labels=97Big Sound celebrates 10 legendary record labels, their
founders and the artists they developed, people who created original and
enduring music on the tide of social change. From the 1920s through the
1960s, scores of small, independent record companies nurtured distinctly
American music: jazz, blues, gospel, country, rhythm and blues, and rock =92=
n=92
roll. These companies, run on shoestring budgets, were on the fringe of
mainstream culture. Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams, James Brown, Roy
Orbison, and other musicians brought regional American styles to a world
audience and won enduring fame for themselves. But often forgotten are the
colorful owners of small record labels who first recorded these musicians
and helped to popularize their sound before the dominant, more bureaucratic
competitors knew what had happened.=20

Rick Kennedy and Randy McNutt bring alive the glory days of the independent
labels and their colorful founders, many of whom were interviewed for this
book. Sometimes these men were visionaries. Ross Russell, a record-store
owner in Los Angeles in the mid-1940s, risked his last dollar to create Dial
Records because he was convinced that an obscure jazz saxophonist named
Charlie Parker was creating a music revolution with his bebop jazz. Sam
Phillips in Memphis had recorded white country and black R&B singers in the
early 1950s, so he knew exactly what he was looking for when a shy, teenaged
Elvis Presley walked into his storefront studio in 1954 and asked to make a
record.=20

Other owners had little appreciation for the music but were street-smart
entrepreneurs. The white-owned =93race=94 labels of the 1920s, for example,
recognized a black consumer market that the recording business had
previously ignored. Operating out of such cities as Houston, Memphis,
Cincinnati, and New Orleans, these savvy business people promoted regional
sounds that were to reverberate around the world.=20

But influencing the development of music wasn=92t what these record-label
owners had in mind; they were just trying to earn a living. Today, when most
of the independent record labels have gone under or have been gobbled up by
big conglomerates, the music they produced on primitive equipment remains
fresh=97and bigger than life.=20

Little Labels=97Big Sound tells with verve and affection the story of the
people and the small homegrown companies who gave America its beat.

Subject: Re: (exotica) persistence of memory

Thanks to everyone for throwing in on this thread. I guess I should throw
in a little myself...

I've already gone on a couple of times about my heavily-worn old favorite
- -- a Rocky & Bullwinkle 45 -- so I'll skip that, skip that, skip that.

Another early favorite... well, I can't remember it directly, but when I
reclaimed it from the attic (like Magnus), it sure seemed like an old
friend: a Golden Records 45, "When The Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin'
Along". Really nice vocals by Anne Lloyd -- if they were just a little
hotter they would almost be sultry. When she sings,
"Wake up! Wake up, you sleepyhead.
Wake up! Wake up, get out of bed.
Live, laugh, love and be happy."
it's almost enough to make me enthusiastic about getting up in the morning.
Almost. Jaunty backing by Mitch Miller and Orchestra. Fortunately, no Mitch
Miller Singers.

Our record player was a table-top box that took a while to warm up after
you turned it on. Textured vinyl(?) covering. Maybe had 4 speeds (16 to
78). I hope to find an old snapshot of it someday.

Speaking of Concord equipment, I had occasional access to (and eventually
got it as a hand-me-down) a Concord portable reel-to-reel deck. Mono,
half-track (you could flip the reel over, like a cassette), 7-inch reels,
built-in speaker. For setting the level, it had an orange glowing light
that throbbed brighter or dimmer depending on the volume. Not very precise,
but aesthetically pleasing. Of course there were unapproved experiments
like physical tape loops or removing the capstan roller so I could control
the tape feed by hand (going more for synthesizer-like swoops than DJ
scratches (of course at the time, there weren't DJ scratches to imitate)).

Speaking of "Beep Beep", that was a big favorite in my immediate pre-teens.
But my exposure didn't come through a record... it was a cassette in that
"Cruisin' [fill in the year]" series from the early 70s (same volume that
had "Runaway", which mesmerised me). First heard it in a cousin's '68 or
'69 Roadrunner, which made for a total sensurround "Beep Beep" experience.

The only thing I can think of that would make your "total
sensurrround"  Roadrunner Beep Beep experience any better is if the
song was played on a "Highway Hi-Fi"

with the support of the French Cultural Service in Los Angles

 Serge Gainsbourg and Boris Vian Party

                Saturday May 15 at 7:30 P.M.
                AT: Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center

         Tosh Berman and his TamTam Books celebrates the release of their
first two titles: Boris Vian's I Spit on Your Graves  and Serge
Gainsbourg's only novel Evgu=E9nie Sokolov.  Both titles were, and still are
shocking in its sense of outrageousness provocation, and brilliance.  Vian
was a jazz musician, playwright, novelist, translator of hard boiled
American crime classics (Chandler, Cain, etc.) into French, and hardcore
trouble maker.  Gainsbourg was a  prototype lusty punk who tore into the
threads of French society with his numerous films, music projects, and
outlandish persona.     Both of them changed the world, and therefore
transformed the world of pop music and literature into a vision of
sexuality , humor and of course danger.

        Along with the readings of Gainsbourg and Vian's work we feature
the glorious sounds of dj's Lance Rock & Hypnotique spinning the sounds of
Vian & Gainsbourg and the French music revolution they both started, and a
screening of the ultra-rare documentary on Gainsbourg in English, with the
tantalizing Brigitte Bardot,  the desirable Jane Birkin, and of course, the
nasty overtones of "Lemon Incest" with Gainsbourg's  daughter Charlotte.

Tickets are $7. $5 for students and seniors.  Beyond Baroque members free.

Boris Vian's I Spit on Your Graves & Serge Gainsbourg's Evgu=E9nie Sokolov

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Juliet Kepes, Elspeth March,Irving ``Fishbones'' Stevens

                        *Juliet Appleby Kepes
    CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- Juliet Appleby Kepes, an artist and children's
book author, died March 11. She was 79.
    Mrs. Kepes wrote or illustrated 17 children's books including ``Five Little
Monkeys,'' which won a Caldecott Medal.
    Mrs. Kepes collaborated with her husband, Gyorgy Kepes, a Hungarian artist,
on many projects including enamel murals in schools and libraries.

                           *Elspeth March
    LONDON (AP) -- Elspeth March, a stage actress whose career spanned a
half-century, died Wednesday. She was 88.
    Ms. March was perhaps best-known for creating the title role of Bernard
Shaw's ``The Millionairess'' in 1937.
    Ms. March made her first professional appearance in London's West End in
1932 and appeared in many roles over the next three decades. She suspended
her career for four years during World War II to drive an ambulance for the
American Red Cross.
    Her last West End appearance was in the thriller ``Underground'' in 1983.
    She also appeared on the New York stage as a member of the Irish Players
and in a number of films, including ``Quo Vadis'' and ``Goodbye Mr. Chips,''
as well as on British television.

                          *Irving Stevens
    PITTSFIELD, Maine (AP) -- Irving ``Fishbones'' Stevens, who gained fame
with his stories about life as a Depression-era hobo, died Tuesday. He was 88.
    Stevens was named King of the Hobos in 1988 at the annual National Hobo
Convention in Britt, Iowa. At the 1993 convention, he crowned his daughter
as Queen of the Hobos.
    Stevens' first book, ``Fishbones: Hoboing in the 1930s,'' published in the
1980s, contained more than a dozen stories based on his recollections of his
life on the road.
    His second book, published in 1992, was ``Mandy's Washtub and Other
Stories,'' a compilation of Maine folklore written over a 10-year period.
    Stevens is remembered by fishermen and campers for Irving's Fly Dope, the
foul-smelling fly repellent that he mixed, bottled and distributed for 30
years.

Subject: (exotica) Exotica cut-up artists

LOU asked:

Can anyone recommend other exotica flavored cut-up artists besides Curd
Duca? There's early David Shea, but who else?? And which releases by these
folks should we start with?
Thanks!

The first and best thing to come to my mind is The Tape-beatles (a.k.a.
Public Works, recently switched back to their original name), and their
absolutely incredible stuff.  Start with "Music With Sound."  All found
sounds, full of creepy instructional/political narration, with ultra
loungey loops and collages.  In my opinion, that recording, along with
the more political 'The Grand Delusion', are some of the most incisive
and enjoyable cut-up 'music' I've ever enjoyed.  I hadn't heard of Curd
Duca, Lou, so I'll check it out for sure.  I love lots of stuff on Mille
Plateaux, like the amazing Microstoria CD's.  Here's the Tape-beatles
website for lots of cool info:

http://soli.inav.net/~psrf/

I'd encourage ANYONE to check them out.  Not involved in any way with
them (but wish I was),

Keith

I hadn't heard of this EZ/exotica cut-up artist before, but am now
interested.  Is it at all like Tipsy?  I'll see if I can find any RA samples
on the net.

And speaking of Tipsy, any word on whether they'll be putting out new work
soon?  I love "Trip Tease."
