I was tempted to answer this myself but Johan has done so and
now I'm left to only add a second opinion. I'm totally with Johan on
this one!  I find this particular release almost unlistenable and
Peter Thomas is among my all time favourites...

Subject: (exotica) Peter Gunn vocal

There was also a single issued in the early 60's called Peter Gunn Locomotion,
a vocal version by Freddie Starr and the Midnighters, on UK Decca.    Dire.

Freddie Starr went on to be an outrageous comedian and TV star.  One of the
all time newspaper headlines here was "Freddie Starr ate my hamster".

Also, I just saw an obit for a duo The Grimaldis who died in an auto smash
in Florida in June.  They were a husband and wife multi-instrument music
act who ended up playing at circuses.  The husband played the banjo, and
it mentioned that he'd worked with banjo king Eddie Peabody, a guy
about whom Brian Phillips has a great quote....

This list is for anyone who likes music outside of the current popular
mainstream.

Recent discussions have included: Henry Mancini, Chiano, Scott Walker, Phil
Bodner and The Brass Ring, Arthur Lymon, Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin,
Disney records......

if you think it's cool bring it up.  someone on here will probably agree,,,

also recently there has been discussion on whether or not Stanley Turnetine,
Edmundo Ros, or Frank Chacksfield have made any good records.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Fw: Alt. Peter Gunn

Hi Jane,
Even though my show is called Martinis with Macini I am no Mancini expert.
So I've been checking out some sites. I haven't listened to Peter Gunn
through for over a year now and will tonight.

This is a link to the Mancini web page that has the Peter Gunn covers,
including 2 More Peter Gunn (PG)covers. (I gave the wrong one last time)

http://www.rudyscorner.com/mancini/mancini1.html


They mention that a vocal version of PG appears on Our Man In Hollywood, I
don't think I have that record.  And if it is on that record and I listenend
to it I might have to agree with you that it is schlock. I don't like
everything he has done.

Sarah's PG vocal version is very punchy and in the spirit of the original.
It's very short, under 2 minutes, any longer and it might get tireing.

Another question or comment. I don't like everything Sarah has done.  Does
anyone have the Brazillian Romances, I think that's the title, by Sarah
Vaughan? Bossa Nova with that Brazil 66 guy, I thought it would be a winner
and was dissapointed. Elevated expectations maybe. Have to try it again.

Yes - speaking of, I like how they used the cover of
the Ralph Font Orchestra's Tabu, on Westminster, for a
Lyman CD release... it would have been more fun if
they'd  co-opted a Frazetta artwork ...

Speaking of, what about Molly Hatchet? Exo-tique?

I think he was a back up singer.  He may have been a "she" because I read
somewhere that Les was short for "Leslie".   Somewhere else I read "Les" was
short for 'Lesbo" and that he worked on a Vampire film or something.

Additionally, this Les guy supposed stalked some dude named Marty because
Marty came into his town one night and made a bunch of noises (supposedly
sounding like monkey noises) and woke everybody up.  It was in upstate New
York in an area famous for camping.  The camp ground Les owned (or was
visiting) was called "Tranquil Village".  I think they filmed part of the
movie "Dirty Dancing" there.

The situation supposedly got worse when Les' girl friend, Amy, left Les to
hang out with this Marty guy.  The two of them got drunk and that Amy girl
went thru town kind of yodeling while Marty made these freaking animal noises.

The final part of the story has Amy and Marty teaming up with some dude that
ran Elliot's Cement Mixer Company and dumping a whole load of cement on Les'
1951 Buick Special.

I guess the bad thing was that Les and Marty turned out to be friends which
had known each other for years and this incident ruined their friendship
forever.  Les ended up living with a bunch of poor people in Paris (Texas,
not France) and the Marty dude retired to Hawaii and opened a string of
restaurants (with a tiki or Chinese motif -- I can't remember).   He ended up
becoming partially disabled when a wall of fake lava fell on him at Don Ho's
stage in Honolulu.  He was helping long time friend "Ketch" Ketchamori (or
Ketchamoni or something like that) set up the stage with the new lava rock
motif.  The "Ketch" guy was actually killed and Don Ho stopped singing his
"Tiny Bubbles" song for about 6 months because "Ketch" was the one that
helped make the song famous -- by blowing bubbles believe it or not!

Sorry if the details of this are sketchy.  I saw it on an A & E Biography
about 6 months ago.

If any List members, new or old, would care to expound on this I know we
would all be grateful.

Regards,

Tiki Bob

Someone posted a site for FAQ's about CD-R's about 6 weeks ago.  It was a
really big site with lots (and I mean lots) of pages about CD burning.

Could that person please post the URL again?

Still on the up side of the CD burning learning curve,

Actually I haven't but would love to try it!

I did substitute some wild mushrooms for the little umbrellas in my Mai Tais
a few years ago.

I call it My Ergotamine Mai Tai / Migraine Relieving / Psychogenic Cocktail.

After a few of these you wake up the next morning slightly paranoid
remembering the vivid colors but don't have a hangover.

Oh, and always remember:

Whiskey on beer -
Never fear.
Beer on whiskey -
Could be risky.
Prestone and Gin -
Think again.

And if you have to drink and drive, drive really fast!  That way you won't be
on the road as long.

Saused!

Our new Mr. Edgar has been a good sport with our Exotica folly.  We welcome

Close. He was, in fact, a he, an English guy, many of
whom have ambisexual names, such as Evelyn, Leslie,
Melinda, etc. He is a composer. Scored a film over
there in the 80s that starred US actor, Martin
Dennehy: Belly of an Anorak.

I don'nt know about that, TB: Bill Black did play
theremin on a couple of E's early RCA singles - And if
you listen closely, over and over again, to Hunk a
Hunk o' Burnin Love, you will hear moog, celeste,
bongos and some guy muttering "Sonofsam" over and over
again, as though he were trying to send a message to
the Beatles.

This has cured my problem, but I am unfortunately stuck in Glasgow on a Hot

cool tropical sea lapping on the beach with some breezy tones of Astrud, or

        Mr Turrentine certainly has made some good vinyl, not least
the excellent Common Touch, recently re-released on Blue Note, Other
Excellent vinyl includes-Don't Mess With Mr T both of these have some good
stuff, but also some real crap, his later stuff, on Fantasy is a pure
kutmusik!!!!!!!, in my humble opinion.

        I recently bought, a couple of LP's one The Snake, by El

to these, if not they certainly should make the effort

        << Who is Les Baxter? Is he cool?

        I think he was a back up singer.  He may have been a "she"
because I read
        somewhere that Les was short for "Leslie".   Somewhere else
I read "Les" was
        short for 'Lesbo" and that he worked on a Vampire film or
something.

It's called the exotica list, that's all.
I think there are some parameters to the range of music discussed but not
one you could really put into words.
Maybe Ross could.
A lot of the music discussed is instrumental music and most of that music
was either made in the late fifties to late sixties or influenced by that
kind of music.
It might be somewhat more "accurate" if this were called the Space-Age BP
list but who cares what it's called as long as it's kind of very vaguely
clear what kind of stuff we talk about.
I wouldn't mind it if we changed the name to the Jack Diamond Memorial
mailing list.
And to me, exotica is not music that originates from the tropics.  It's a
VERSION of music that may have originated in the tropics.  It's an
exaggerated, bastardized version.  Exotica is "true" to the tropics in
approximately the same way that Hawaii Five-Oh was.
And if you're going to talk about Hawaii Five Oh, eventually you have to
talk about Sammy Davis Jr's version of the theme song with lyrics, "You can
count on me".
And if you're going to talk about Sammy, eventually you'll get to Scott
Walker and from there to Lee Hazelwood and Claudine Longet.
