Subject: (exotica) Enoch: 1999

Until a week or two or go, I was going to wimp out and not do my annual
Enoch Light birthday memorial bash in August. Despite better judgment and
overcommitments, I'm doing it anyway (the fourth year running!).

I'm tying it in with "An Evening For the Jet Set" scheduled for August
14th at the Highland Theater in Akron. In addition to me DJing, there
will be a screening of a 35mm print of La Dolce Vita, and possibly the
final performance by local music outfit the King Dapper Combo.

The past couple of years, other promoters had lined up their own
Enoch-related themed events to create a sort of national, (and last year,
international) jet set synergistic Enoch vibe. E-mail me if you're
interested in doing a local event (or radio special) sometime around
Enoch's birthday on August 18th and I'll tie it in with online/other
promotion. (1999 is also the 40th anniversary of Persuasive Percussion
and Command Records, BTW)

So far, Otto Von Stroheim is planning an event in San Francisco on the
17th. Watch this space (and, invariably Robbie's Spaced Out site) for
details as they happen.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Chaino

>Also, the "real" Chaino is also on the oh-too-fab EXOTIC
>PERCUSSION AND BRILLIANT BRASS, one of my top Exotica rekkids of all time.

This record (on the "directional sound" label) is, like several of their
titles, a repackaging of an Omega release (tho it's possible this title
never got released before Omega went under). DS took Omega records by the
Francis Bay Orchestra (recorded in Belgium and licensed by Omega for
release in the USA) and changed the name to "John Evans and his
Orchestra". (The Bay group's pianist was named Jean Evans, so that's
where this particular inspiration came from.) EPaBB is one of these
repackaged records.

Where it starts to get interesting is in figuring out how Chaino fits in.
It seems highly unlikely that he flew to Belgium to sit in with Bay's
ensemble. More probable is that Omega had a bunch of Bay tracks in a
pseudo-Martin-Denny style (Bay's group specialized in mimicking the
styles of other popular bandleaders) and they interspersed some cuts by
Chaino, thereby creating an album featuring both, even though they were
never on the same continent, let alone the same recording studio.

So back to the Directional Sound reissue: their practice was to mix cuts
from different records to disguise the fact that these were reissued
recordings. So what's on EPaBB is likely >most< of what the original
Omega version contained, but with the possibility that some cuts were
dropped and others added from elsewhere. It's even conceivable that the
cuts by Chaino never made it to the DS reissue at all, but absent a copy
of the original Omega (which is pictured in the notes for the recent
Chaino CD) to compare, it's impossible to tell.

This is so confusing that I'm convinced that at least one of the tracks
on the recent Chaino CD is not Chaino at all, but one of the
faux-Martin-Denny Francis Bay numbers!

Subject: (exotica) Sydney siders

Hi, listers:

I'm in an internet cafe in Sydney, doing email.
Every second business now seems to be an e-cafe, full of backpackers, a
real change since I was here two years ago.  Last night, I went to a
launch of the new
academic book on exotica, edited by Phil Hayward, Widening the Horizon
- -- or something like that.  I spent this morning trolling through the
used music stores on Pitt Street, one of which has an upstairs full of
easy listening albums running about $1-$2.  I
got lots of movie-theme compilations I haven't seen before, and a fab
bossa nova album whose cover shows someone putting albums with "mambo"
and "twist" on their sleeves into a trash can.

It's no trip to Cleveland, but it will have to do.

Will

Fantastic! Looks like I'll be back off to that shop then...

This has just brought something to mind... does anyone know of a
similar concept, an album of songs made out of sampled pig squeals? I
remember reading about this in Omni, probably early to mid 80s.

Yeah, I remember learning this a few years back and was a little depressed.
And you know -- no one ever talks about the organ player in the song.  It is
my favorite part.

And don't you think Dean Elliot kicked himself in the ass for not getting in

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Everett Greenbaum,James ``Jimmy'' Newman,Ibrahim Kucuk

 *Everett Greenbaum
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Everett Greenbaum, who collaborated with fellow writer
Jim Fritzell on the 1950s television sitcom ``Mr. Peepers'' and other series
including ``The Andy Griffith Show'' and ``M-A-S-H,'' died Sunday of brain
cancer. He was 79.
    Greenbaum, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., studied at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and the Sorbonne in Paris and served in World War II
as a Navy pilot and flight instructor.
    After the war, he wrote, produced and starred in a Boston radio show called
``Greenbaum's Gallery.'' Greenbaum and Fritzell teamed up in 1952 for Wally
Cox's ``Mr. Peepers,'' a collaboration that continued until Fritzell's death
in 1979.
    The pair earned a Peabody Award, four Emmy nominations, three Writers Guild
comedy awards and the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award. They wrote eight feature
films, including ``Good Neighbor Sam'' and ``The Shakiest Gun in the West.''
    On his own, Greenbaum wrote two books, including the memoir ``The
Goldenberg Who Couldn't Dance,'' and worked on ``The George Gobel Show.'' He
also acted, appearing in brief roles on Griffith's ``Matlock'' series and
other programs.

 *James ``Jimmy'' Newman
    LAS VEGAS (AP) -- James ``Jimmy'' Newman, the son and manager of singer
Gladys Knight, died Saturday. He was 36.
    The cause of death was not released. The coroner said it appears that
Newman died of natural causes. An autopsy is pending.
    Newman managed his mother's career through his Newman Management Inc., one
of four Knight-related companies sharing offices in Southern Nevada.
    This year, Newman helped his mother launch Many Roads, a specialty record
label formed to support her recent gospel album, ``Many Different Roads,''
and other gospel artists.
    According to the album's media materials, Newman brought many of the songs
to Knight's attention, including ``Jesus' Love Is Like a River,'' a song
co-written by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch.

   ISTANBUL, July 13 (AFP) - A cafe owner in Turkey shot and killed a
customer who wanted to use the toilet, the Anatolia news agency reported
Tuesday.
   Ibrahim Kucuk asked the owner of the Dodurgalilar coffehouse in
Incirliova near Aydin in western Turkey to use the restroom, but the owner
refused, saying he did not want smells in his toilet, the agency said.
   Enraged by the ensuing discussion with his customer, the owner,
identified by his initials A.D., drew a revolver and shot Kucuk, who died in
hospital.
   A.D. was arrested after the shooting, Anatolia reported.

Does this mean that we may hear from Jane, but we can't Caesar?

Well, you can "laugh at me", but "Be-Bop-A-Lula" was co-written by Sheriff
Bill Davis.  Also, Jerry Butler of the Impressions was an alderman in
Chicago, I believe.  Jimmie Davis wrote or co-wrote "You Are My Sunshine"
and he ended being Governor, didn't he?

 W. C. Handy said that one of his songs (St. Louis Blues?) was originally a
campaign song for a politician, which got a huge response.

I'm sure that I have friends in LA that said if you go to the Museum of
Television and Film, they have an archive system where you punch in who you
want and it brings up footage. I am sure they said that Brasil 66 is on it.
I have yet to check it out myself, but if it is the LAST thing I do, I will

Wasn't Tony Blair in a band? I haven't been able to hear any of his
(not chart-hittin, I suppose) music yet, but found a photo of him
playing a guitar in a girls school not too long ago, very cute.


Former German president Walter Scheel had a hit (when was it, late 70t's?)
with a folksong, Hoch auf den gelben Wa-hagen, more likely cover material
for Die Fischer Choere or Heino, I'm almost sure they did it, actually.


Former Ecuadorian president Abdullah Buccaram, aka El Loco, recorded
a whole album (part of his campaign, when was it, some five years ago)
of stuff like Jailhouse Rock in Spanish. It was huge in Ecuador.


Former president of Republica Serpska, Karadzjic, is, apart from being
a psychiatrist and a war criminal, a poet and a musician who used to
accompagny his historic noodlings on the ud or somesuch instrument.
I haven't got a clue, whether it made the Bosnian and Serbian charts.


Cheers, Ton

Yes. He had a hand in either assembling musicians (eg:
The Arrows aka Sidewalk Sounds) for late 60s early 70s
biker films (Born Losers, Wild Angels,...) or writing
material - can't recall; there were also several lps
released by The Mike Curb Congregation (damned if I
can furnish titles either, even though I have a few of
these. And they are awful).

I guess that means we also can't include MN Gov. Jesse Ventura's duet with
Warren Zevon on "Werewolves Of London" as performed at Ventura's

Subject: (exotica) fwd: LOC American Memory site

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Want to while away a summer afternoon with a nearly
century-old animated comic strip? Well, the Library of Congress is at your
service.
    ``Krazy Kat'' is there, the strip President Wilson was said to read before
Cabinet meetings, and also ``The Katzenjammer Kids'' and ``Keeping Up With
the Joneses.'' There are 21 animated films and two fragments, covering the
years 1900 to 1921.
    And they're available to anyone with a computer via the Internet. To find
them go to the Library of Congress Web site, http://www.loc.gov, and click
on American Memory. Then search for the keyword animation.
    The earliest is Thomas A. Edison's ``The Enchanted Drawing.'' In less than
a minute and a half, it shows what the inventor's catalog called ``an
elderly gentleman of most comical features and expression pouring wine out
of the bottle.''
    ``These films also reveal some of the social attitudes of early 20th
century America,'' the library said in its announcement.
    For the more active, the library site also offers dancing lessons. It has
put ``An American Ballroom Companion'' on the Web with extracts from more
than 200 books. They describe social dancing back to the time of Columbus.
Video demonstrations allow the student to compare printed instructions with
actual movements.
    No macarena, though -- the dance manuals only go up to 1920.
    Collections display presidential papers, Civil War photos, 1,500 images
from what the library calls ``the golden age of jazz'' and an outstanding
assemblage of baseball cards.
    The National Digital Library now has about 2 million items in 60 separate
collections and expects to have 6 million next year when the Library of
Congress celebrates it 200th birthday. That compares with 18 million books
in the stacks and nearly 100 million other items such as maps and photos.
    A digitized ``Southern Mosaic'' presents 25 hours of folk music collected
60 years ago by John and Ruby Lomax -- nearly 700 songs, over 100 of them in
Spanish. The couple traveled 6,502 miles through eight Southern states for
material. They came up with a unique collection of ballads, blues,
children's songs, cowboy songs, fiddle tunes, hollers, lullabies, religious
dramas, spirituals and work songs.
    When the library's geography division put together a collection called
``Mapping the National Parks,'' it found maps of the areas going back 400
years, centuries before there was such a thing as a national park. It covers
four parks, including the Acadia National Park in Maine, the first coastal
park, and adds the appropriate nautical charts.
    Links from the Grand Canyon presentation carry the viewer to spectacular
views of the site.

Subject: (exotica) [obit] Aaron ``Bunny'' Lapin

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Reddi-wip founder Aaron ``Bunny'' Lapin, who put
whipped cream in a spray can, has died. He was 85.
    Lapin, who had homes in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles, died Saturday
of heart failure at a Los Angeles hospital, Hillside Memorial Park said today.
    Reddi-wip was first sold in 1948 by St. Louis milkmen. Distribution quickly
expanded throughout the United States and Canada.
    One out of every two cans of aerosol topping now purchased in the United
States each year is Reddi-wip.
    In addition to packaging Reddi-wip, Lapin's Clayton Corp. made and sold its
own valves for the whipped cream enterprise. Clayton was one of the first
companies to put shaving cream in an aerosol can, but Lapin decided not to
market the product because he didn't want to compete with shaving cream
makers who might buy his valves.
    Clayton and its subsidiaries make industrial valves and closures, caulk,
adhesives and foamed plastic products such as insulation and cushioning
materials.
    Born in St. Louis on Jan. 5, 1914, Lapin was educated at the University of
Missouri and attended Washington University School of Law in St. Louis.
    Lapin lost control of Clayton and sold his interest in Reddi-wip, which is
now made by Beatrice Foods Inc. in Waukesha, Wis. Beatrice is a subsidiary
of ConAgra, the Omaha, Neb.-based food maker.

Hilarious!  Right up there with Slim Gailliard's chicken tune.

I just noticed that our old friends at Dusty Groove are carrying the CD copy

wondering what the general feel of this late '60 material with a smaller

I'm sure they were on several times but I have them on a TV show (can't
remember the show as all I have is their segment not the whole show)

They are playing Mas Que Nada and are on a house boat that is docked

I guess the theme of the show was to tour about the harbor and visit various
parties?

I also have a Herb Alpert segmant that I think is from the same show

The Secret Cinema (Jay Schwartz) is coming to SF for the weekend of Sept 18
and I'm sure he'll have a couple of segments too
