After 9,000 Years, Oldest Playable Flute Is Heard Again
Audio: The Little Cabbage
By HENRY FOUNTAIN
Chinese archeologists have unearthed what is believed to be the oldest known playable musical instrument, a seven-holed flute fashioned 9,000 years ago from the hollow wing bone of a large bird.

Subject: (exotica) Indian Summer 1999
I'm back.
Exotica, Part 1:
While travelling with Katja in Canada and New England, exotic creatures
had escaped from a pack of Indian black rice in our Munich home and
taken over the kitchen.
Exotica, Part 2:
All 215 LPs we had bought and carried on the plane arrived safely, no
overweight charges, no customs, no taxes, no scratches, no losses. This
number of course does not include the 40 disco records I had sent in
advance, nor the about 20 albums I left with Brian and Cheryl in
Montreal. Altogether I have paid about 120 mostly Canadian $$$, which
comes to an average less than 50 cents a piece.
I am extremly happy.
Exotica, Part 3:
The most Indian part of Indian summer was having dinner with Nat Kone in
Little India, Toronto. The leaves of the maple trees were not yet red,
but my face while eating this hothothot meal must have been
tremendously.
Exotica, Part 4:
The "Jardin du Tiki" in Montreal is a fine big Tiki restaurant with very
interesting single art pieces, lots of different lamps, real turtles and
average chinese food. The colorful light chain made of real dried
catfish bodies is just unbelievable. The members of the Montreal Tiki
Appreciation Society, who we meet there are very nice people. The ritual
exchange of Tiki mugs is delayed to a later opportunity.
Exotica, Part 5:
Which takes place 3 weeks later after visiting the "Aloha" in St.Jerome,
45 minutes north of Montreal. Smaller than the "Jardin", but very nice
primitivistic decor (**** stars of 5), average Chinese food (*) and
unbelievable service (---).
Exotica, Part 6:
Boston doesn't like us, too big, too many cars, too expensive and NO
hotel. Only the man on the phone from the YMCA says, he has a room, for
"only" 66$, so we drive all the way through heavy traffic, to learn in
the end, they don't accept girls at THIS time of the year. Thanks for
not telling us on the phone! So we decide to leave this city (sorry,
Bostoners, we've tried!) heading to Concord, ...and accidently discover
the "Aku Aku", not really spectacular looking from the freeway, but once
you get to the back side of the building, oopsiedaisy! Two 30 feet high
Easter island guys flank the A-frame entrance. Even the wide angle of
the Olympus has its dificulties to get them on one photo. Of course we
go in, although we have eaten already at the S&S. It's half past nine
and NOBODY's there except for the staff! The manager does not at all
understand why in hell we want to take photos of this location. We
explain it to him in detail, but he doesn't get it. No wonder he can't
get people to visit his restaurant. It's a great place, different in
style from anything Tiki I have seen so far. Mint greenish leatherette
seats, a huge painting of volcano and tikis and palm trees and huts on
one side. Some unique mask artefacts and a exotic aquarium. Auwe no ho'i
e! (Colorful Hawaiian expression) If you don't do something about it,
guys, this place will soon close, was my impression. Awiwi!
Exotica, Part 7:
The records are all in my living room at home now and for the first time
I can really get an overview of what I have.
Some are double, some even many, by far the most frequent one is the
"Bimbo Jet" LP, which I bought 15 times, followed by 8 "Whipped Cream
and Other Delights". What would YOU do, if you only had to stuff the
vinyl into bags as many as you possibly can (64), because the entire bag
is 5 bucks no matter what? (Thanks to Nat who brought me there and
thanks to Will Straw who was born in Hamilton and had told Nat about
this in the first place) By the way, I found 6 *different* editions of
"Whipped Cream"...
Some of the records are just famous, such as "Music for bang baroom and
harp" or "Provocative Percussion". Some are simply great like "Burt
Bacharach plays his hits" or "Fever and Smoke", by the 3 Suns. My first
records of them and Bacharach anyway.
Some are better than I thought, like "E=mc2" by Moroder, "One stormy
night" by Mystic Moods Orchestra and the Carpenter's "Ticket to Ride",
some are worse, like anything by Edmundo Ros, most of them I haven't
heard yet.
Some records I always wanted to have: Les Baxter's "Soul of the drums",
"Hawaiianette", "The versatile Henry Mancini" (his Exotica album),
everything from Munich Machine, which you can't find in Munich as it
happens, just like this "Best of..." Marianne Rosenberg album, which
apparently was only published in Canada. My favorite cover so far is the
"Grover sings the Blues" album, showing my Sesame Street hero saying
"I'm so proud".
Some records I bought only because I knew I could sell them and then
there were of course all kinds of Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Perez Prado,
Arthur Lyman, Herp Alpert, Burt Bacharach, The Three Suns, Hugo
Montenegro, Dick Hyman, Enoch Light, Mancini, Si Zentner, Peter Thomas
etc. you gotta have if you didn't have them already. Plus strange
obscure stuff for the fun of having them. But my last find in the last
thrift shop we wnt in New England, actually in Rutland right at highway
7, that one made me really happy for 50 cents: Marais and Miranda,
"South African Folk Songs". When we returned to Montreal, I showed it to
Brian, and the great man gave me his copy of "Marais and Miranda visit
the African Veld (with the bushveld band)" on top.
Did anybody say, thrift shops are not a good source for finding Exotica
LPs?
North Americans are really lucky.
Exotica, Part 8:
The damn video transfer-from-NTSC-to-PAL-recorder in McGill University
failed to make a playable copy of Alan Zweig's (aka known as Nat Kone)
great great film about record collectors. Glad I watched it already in
Montreal, but I want my $11,50 rental charge back from McGill!!
So far... so long...

Hmmm...Musta been the wrong rekkit. Admittedly, some harmonica music can be
terribly drab, but I looves me some kooky harmonicat madness. Look for their
version of "Guns of Navarone(sp?)" I put it on a mix-tape that was widely
distributed, and I got more complaints about that tune getting permenantly
lodged in people's heads. ..But that's GOOD, right? I also am partial to
their version of "Apple Pink.."
I also hear that Sinatra HATED the Harmonicats because Peg O' My Heart
dislodged one of his tunes from the #1 spot on the charts. According to the
legend Jerry & Co. was hired to entertain at a party thrown for ol' blue
eye's birthday one year. Sinatra had a FIT. Apocryphal, yes, but FUNNY!
Now ya got me wondering if the harmonicats ever covered a Sinatra signature
song.

"It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter
LISBON, Oct 6 (AFP) - Portuguese singer Amalia Rodrigues, the
"diva of fado", died on Wednesday in Lisbon at the age of 79, her
recording company Valentim de Carvalho announced.
Rodrigues' personal secretary said she died at her home after a
long illness.
In a career that spanned more than half a century, Rodrigues
became to Portugal what Edith Piaf was to France, or Oum Kalsoum to
the Arab world: an international icon and a roving ambassador for
the popular culture of her country.
Portugal was cast into mourning at the announcement of her
death, and national radio broadcast innumerable tributes and
testimonies by friends and colleagues.
Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres ordered three days of
national mourning.
Rodrigues' supreme gift was for fado, the traditional Portuguese
bar-room singing style centred on Lisbon and Coimbra and based on
"saudade", or sadness for an irrecoverable past, a plangent blend of
nostalgia, sadness, love and death.
Several years ago Rodrigues, who underwent heart surgery in the
United States, virtually stopped performing because of her poor
health.
She made an exceptional appearance last year, singing for the
last time in public before thousands at the opening of Expo 1998 in
Lisbon.
Rodrigues was born in 1920, though her exact date of birth was
not known. The grandmother who raised her to the age of 14 knew only
that she was born "during the cherry season."
After selling fruit in the streets and working as a seamstress
to help support her nine brothers and sisters -- she remained proud
all her life of her modest origins -- Rodrigues began her
professional career as a tango dancer.
She then gained notice for singing the tangos of Carlos Gardel
at parties and festivities in the working class districts of Lisbon,
and signed her first singing contract in 1940.
Her early career brought friction with her family, dismayed to
see her singing songs of disrepute, as tango and fado were then
considered.
Rodrigues' international career blossomed after World War II,
and she performed regularly in Brazil, Spain, France and Britain as
well as in her home country.
Her reputation spread as far afield as Japan, the Soviet Union
and the United States during her heyday in the 1950s and 1960s.
She recorded more than 170 albums that were released in 30
countries, and appeared in numerous films, notably "Les amants du
Tage" (Lovers of the Tagus), by the French director Henri Verneuil.
After the overthrow of Portugal's fascist regime in 1974 she was
widely reproached for her closeness to dictator Antonio Salazar, a
criticism that she shrugged off as something imposed by
circumstances.
Fatalistic by nature, she attributed her success to chance. "I
never dreamed of having a career, I was never ambitious," she wrote
in her memoirs.
Despite being voted one of the world's 10 most outstanding
voices during the 1950s, she constantly professed astonishment at
her celebrity.
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Leonard S. Shoen, who revolutionized the
do-it-yourself moving industry by founding U-Haul International
Inc., apparently committed suicide by driving his car into a power
pole. He was 83.
The Clark County coroner's office ruled Tuesday that Schoen died from blunt force trauma and that his death was a suicide.
``There is no reason for the accident,'' Metro Police Detective Rick Hart said. ``Nobody else was around. ``They determined that it looked like suicide.''
On Monday's Shoen's car left the road for no apparent reason and struck a wooden power pole, police said. Hart said the accident is
still under investigation.
Shoen founded U-Haul in 1945 and built it into the most
recognized self-moving company in the nation with its signature
orange and white trucks.
In 1986, Shoen's sons -- Joe and Mark -- forced their father into retirement and pushed for control of the parent company, Reno-based Amerco Inc.
The move triggered a bitter family feud that ended in a $1.5
billion jury award the company had to pay Leonard Shoen and other
``outsiders.'' A judge later reduced the award to $461 million, and
the company then sought bankruptcy protection from the debt.
Since the shakeup at U-Haul, Shoen lived in Las Vegas, where he owned the World Trade Center hotel since 1996. He withdrew his
application with the Nevada Gaming Commission for a gaming license
in May.
At the age of 29, after serving in the Navy during World War II, Shoen came up with the idea to provide do-it-yourself one-way
moving trailers on a nationwide basis.
With an initial investment of $5,000, he and his then-wife Anna Mary Carty started the company at the Carty Ranch in Ridgefield,
Wash., where they built the first U-Haul trailers in a milk house
in 1945. The company is now based in Phoenix.
His concept for U-Haul was developed out of a need to provide
inexpensive means of moving a post-World War II American population
that had become migratory, especially to the Western United States,
according to the company's Web site.
The original U-Haul trailers were painted bright orange and
rented for $2 a day. By 1949 it was possible to rent U-Haul
trailers one way from city to city throughout most of the United
States.
Today the company has 14,000 independent dealers and 1,100
company-owned moving centers. It is the leading company in the
truck and trailer rental industry and the second-largest
self-storage facility operator. U-Haul also is the world's largest
installer of permanent hitches.

I have come to the conclusion that all harmonica records - with the
possible exception of Toots Thieleman (and even then I way prefer his
guitar playing and whistling) - are too drab.
I must admit that it helps me to come to such conclusions because the more
records I can ignore the better.
Once upon a time I expanded my taste so that I'd always be able to find
things that "interested" me. Now I'm trying to reduce the scope.
And harmonica fits right in.
It doesn't have enough "bite". The sound is too "floaty". You'd think
that the floaty sound would be perfect for exotica but not in my
experience. Not so far.
You'd think that the Three Suns could have made good use of the harmonica.
Accordion, organ AND harmonica. But I haven't found that Three Suns record
yet.
So I ignore harmonica. And polka.

Good question. You know, I always assume that my lust for harmonica records
is eccentric. It's similar to my taste for bombastic pipe organ or ice
skating records. But I know both tastes are shared by Mr. ExotiFAQ, Our Man
in Treetown, Ross. Plus, he means it when he signs his name "Mambo Frenzy."
That recommend was meant for him and for others who dig the improbable
pairing of tepid Jerry Murad with Latin fire.
That said, why look for HarmoniCha Cha-Cha?
Reason 1: A cha-cha version of the Harmonicat's golden hit, Peg O' My
Heart. Which is not as solid as...
Reason 2: Cocktails for Two Cha-Cha, Blues Cha-Cha, Petite Fleur (I LOVE
Sidney Bechet tunes), Frenesi, Poinciana. Which are not as solid as...
Reason 3: The House of Bamboo
Reason 4: First time I played it, I kept laughing, alarming the cats.
Reason 5: John Sippel's liner notes, which assert, "The cha cha's no
bastard child of some dance instructor's imagination." Ooh! Pretty racy!
Reason 6: I'm a sucker for the wan sound of the mouth harp.
Reason 7: The kids seem to having a great time playing these tunes.
There's also good reason why the 'Cats are so popular with the Placidyl set
- -- I agree with you there, Pearmania. They have put me to sleep or at least
made me drowsy. Yet there is more vitality in HarmoniCha Cha-Cha than the
other Harmonicats records I've gotten and disposed of. If you want a really
potent sedative, look for the Mulcays, especially their awful record,
Dolls, Dolls, Dolls. The mere thought of it makes me shudder,then yawn.
Now back to my nap,

Subject: (exotica) African Lament / Mel Henke
Thanks to all of you who have received CD-R's from me in the past for your
generous praise.
This all started with a CD-R exchange with a couple of other fellow listees.
It is still all about fun and sharing the music for me - these CD-R's are
available for not a whole lot more than the cost of materials and shipping.
$10 when a master already exists. Also open to CD-R, commercial CD and vinyl
trading.
Miriam Burton's background ranges from jazz singing to serious Carnegie Hall
Concerts. She has appeared on Broadway, the BBC with the London Symphony
Orchestra and has performed in several television specials with Harry
Belefonte. Her astounding (two-and-a-half octave) voice range has a
tremendous flexibility of style.
AFRICAN LAMENT (Epic LN 24011 Mono) is composed by Sascha (Nutty Squirrels)
Burland and Pat Williams. I cannot locate a date, my guess mid sixties.
It is an album of musical expressions of a continent in dramatic transition.
Burland writes that he and Williams have made no attempt at ethnic
authenticity, but have simply tried to set down musical pictures which relate
to certain African facts and folklore. The music definitely has a western
feel, it's not "world music".
The instrumentation of the orchestra - African percussive instruments,
flutes, tuipples, marimba, tuned drums, organ and rhythm creates a
fascinating hybrid sound that expresses the coexistence of the old and the
new in Africa. Miriam Burton's soaring wordless vocals complete the picture.
I first learned of this recording in one of the ISM books. Mickey McGowan's
section on abstract female vocals, Yma Sumac, Leda Annest, etc. After a few
years of looking, I came across this near mint copy. Titles are
Rites Of Passage
Kenscoff
Kalhari Bushmen
Congo Lament
Yoruba Lady
Apartheid
Palm Wine Party
Cover what not what I expected, a very-documentary-like photo of a pair of
lone rhinos grazing in a golden foreground, set against a dark, moody sky and
hills of gray and blue.
Mel Henke speaks for himself. His Dynamic Adventures is not as zany as La
Dolce Henke, but by all means is just as wonderful. Wild stereo experiments
and sound effects. A couple (four maybe) of tracks were bonus material on
Scamp's release of La Dolce Henke.
I've added a couple of bonus tracks of my own. These three short Henke spots
come from an ad agency promo, The "In" Sound for the Commercial Agency
Chevy Jet Smooth Ride
Jazz Track For Dodge
Ajax Stronger Than Dirt
Drop me a line if interested.

Yeah, I never believe them when they say something is going to be hot.
That goes for music or food. I always think they mean "For you, this will
seem hot".
It's like the other night at this record store going-out-of-business sale.
There was this Latin guy there checking out a pile of Latin records. Maybe
it was none of my business but I didn't like this guy's attitude. The
clerk had gone into the basement to unearth this pile of records for him,
as a special favor. The records were fifty cents each. There were some
good titles there. And yet the guy had to monopolize the turntable,
listening to each one. And then he had the balls to ask if that was all
there was.
What's that got to do with hot Indian food?
Well I guess the guy got the message that I found him a bit nervy. And I
think I expressed interest in one or two of the cha cha records and
expressed an opinion on a Cugat record.
So I'm standing outside with the clerk having a smoke and this guy comes
out, makes a beeline for me and announces: "I'm the Latin king!"
He then proceeds to tell me that he's THE Latin music collector and that I
don't know anything about Latin music and that maybe I might have a few
Latin LP's but certainly I don't understand or appreciate the music.
I guess when the waiter at the Indian restaurant said the food was going to
be hot, I assumed he meant "Hot for a gringo like you who doesn't really
know what hot food is". And given that I was at the restaurant with this
very very white man from Germany, I could see how he might have made that
assumption.
But actually he was telling the truth and the food was hot. Perhaps when
he looked at my companion, he didn't see a white white man. Perhaps he
noticed the tiki-adorned T-shirt and realized this was a spicy, exotic man.

I have to admit that it made me uncomfortable reading that you went to that
Indian restaurant with Nat Kone. Nat Kone only exists here on this mailing
list.
At the same time, I don't like reading my real name here but when you say
my film is great, it lessens the sting somehow.
(And for those who wonder why I have a fake name here - like I'm the only
one - I don't have an explanation or excuse but if my real name was
something cool like "Will Straw", I don't think I'd have made up a fake
one. And it's not just for this list; it's an internet thing.)

I understand this "ignore" problem. So, here are a few more harmonica
records no one else mentioned, so that you can ignore the genre a bit
more comprehensively.
There's a record of Larry Adler playing with Django Reinhart + the
Quintette, which is bloody marvellous. I reckon that has a bit of bite
to it. Harry Pitch's "Harmonica Jewel Box" has a rather fruity version
of "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", which I love; Tommy Reilly
with Kai Warner doing "Quando Quando Quando" on "Latin Harmonica" is
great (but the rest of the album is a bit duff), and Mr. Reilly also
did an album on Argo, two contemporary concertoes for harmonica, which
hopefully takes it a bit beyond its normal limited role (must dig that
one out and have a proper listen).

LOL! I was thinking to those slogans too! There is some 80's pop record
(maybe a Kylie mInogue single from UK?) who had "Waltz Matilda" etched on
the run off groove... but I have several vinyls with weird slogans like
that... looks like the tradition of writing them on the vinyl passed from

Anyone remembers other funny lines? Is there some crazy guy out there who
