Lawrence Welk is one of the most underrated musicians I know. >>
I love that Cates' ablum and every time it comes up for discussion I remember
when I discovered it about 2 years ago and one list member described it as
too "pedestrian".
Well, I just keep strolling and humming to this great album.
And other than "producing" the album, I don't think Welk had any input or
involvement with the album.
Finally, notice that Cates' photo on the back of the album looks like our
very own Otto von Stroheim (sorry Otto -- I always have to bring this up)

NEW YORK, July 8 (AFP) - Superstar singer Madonna is considering taking
Marko Milosevic, son of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, to court for
naming a club after her, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
"I hope he has a good lawyer," Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said,
even though Milosevic's club is actually named "Madona."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Former teen idol Leif Garrett showed up in court a day
early in hopes of avoiding jail time on cocaine and heroin charges.
Garrett, 37, was scheduled to be arraigned this morning, but he and his
attorney made a surprise appearance in court late yesterday. They asked the
court to order a report to determine Garrett's eligibility for a diversion
program that would mean drug counseling instead of jail time.
A judge set an Aug. 13 hearing.
The former child actor and '70s singing sensation was one of several people
arrested June 29 during a sting at an apartment building known for drug
activity. He was charged with cocaine and heroin possession.
He is free on $10,000 bail.
Garrett recently finished work on a film called ``Art of the Bullet,''
scheduled for release next month.

LONDON (AP) -- After more than two decades of unwed and perhaps
never-really-wedded togetherness, Rolling Stone lead singer Mick Jagger and
Jerry Hall announced Friday that they are seeking to have their marriage
annulled.
Hall and the Texas-born model reached a ``mutually acceptable legal and
financial settlement'' after a 12-minute court hearing, attorneys for both
parties said.

I have a compilation LP which has some Bob Thompson cuts which
I have never seen on a vinyl album. In fact, I believe the selections
were put on the Ultra Lounge series *without* his name attached.
Yet in "Highlights Staged For Stereo, Capitol STAC-1638, there are
two great cuts by "Bob Thompson's Battery." They are "Istanbul" and
"It Happened in Monterey." This album, by the way, is the only one
I know of that came in a gray and clear pastic case very much like what CDs
come in these days.
Mine did not have any paper inserts or cover...was there anything
other than the cool plastic cover and record?

The two best Monster exploitation records on CD, btw, are both on Buffalo
Bop. Horror Hop and Monster Bop are both worth the extra shekels.
Incredible tunes like "At the House of Frankenstein" by Big Bee Kornegay (R&B
lead vocal, doo wop chorus, goosed with lots of jazzy guitar at high speed)
and "Vampira" (lewdish rockabilly).

Sad evening at the Trader Vic's Munich
While showing "our" Vic's to friends visiting from Hamburg I had to
notice some changes to the worse since I was last there:
First of all: The prices have increased drastically. A "Zombie" is
21.-DM now, which is 11,35 US $. I really like to know the price of the
the Zombie in America, and ask for your help, US-listees, but I doubt it
can be that much.
Second: There are only two mugs left, that you could relate to the
original idea of Tiki/Exotica mugs; this skull cup for the hot drinks
and the harbor light mug. All others have entirely disappeared.
Third: The music played on that evening was like the lowest point in all
Trader Vic's history: It was the horrible Gipsy Kings ("Bandolero",
"Volare") played over and over again. We heard the same terrible songs
for about 5 times.
I talked to the Indonesian guy, who had been at this TrV's since the
beginning in 1972 and he agreed with my complaints and told me the new
chief had directed these changes and in fact prohibited the playing of
Hawaiian music.
Of course the Munich Trader Vic's doesn't even have a Happy Hour.
I guess that's what happens if a place is too successful and when the
people who run it are complete ignorants. I guess I have to do something
about the text about this place in my homepage.
