Thank you, everyone, kindly re-adjust your fezzes.  My birthday is
to-morrow, but since I don't read e-mail on the weekends, I am, quite
honestly, touched to receive a public acknowledgement (and a couple of
private ones!) of it to-day.  Thanks very much.  Thanks to everyone that
has entertained and imparted information on this list, which is present
enough, but this is one of the nicest birthdays, since this little nod came
mostly from people I have not even met!

My tiki mug contains Root Beer but the sentiment is no less heartfelt.

If I do make any interesting birthday finds, I will let all of you know.

My age = Astro-Sounds beyond the Year 2000's artist(s) minus Count Basie's
Whirly-bird '65

Swinging like 60,

Subject: (exotica) DJ radio broadcasts from the 1960's on real audio

http://www.realradio.com

It seems that WLS hired the Anita Kerr singers to do all of their radio jingles in the
Sunshine Pop days of the  late 1960's

I found it somewhere on here checking out Art Roberts a DJ or WLS radio in 1967-69

Its one of my favorite things I've ever heard on real audio.  Radio broadcasts exactly
as they were back in the 60's

Hope you enjoy it

http://www.realradio.com/rook/index.html#wlsjings1

Heres the link for the Anita Kerr Singer's jingles on WLS Radio in Chicago in the late
60's.
I find it curious that an easy listening group, Anita Kerr, was chosen to do jingles on
a rock and roll staion.  I guess chalk it up to the ever present exotica influence in
European/American culture.

Easy listening in the Big Easy

I think you'd have to admit that this p.o.v. is specific to someone who
makes a lot of tapes or like you, has a radio show.
I'm not convinced that you could do a soft pop tape and just sneak in a cut
by "Up with People" without anyone noticing some kind of shift.
And even if the odd cut would "fit" on a tape or in a show, that's not the
same as saying they qualify for the genre.
To be honest, I think that my accumulating habit is based more upon my
habit of making compilation tapes than anything else.  The most important
question for a record is "Is there a cut that will fit on a cool tape?"
Listening to a record all the way through is virtually a non-consideration
at this point.
So I can understand your pov all too well.
Having said that, if someone asked me for some "soft pop" recommendations,
I wouldn't recommend the Ray Conniff Singers (or Percy Faith or Billy
Vaughn or the Living Voices) in the same sentence as The Love Generation or
Elephant Candy or the brilliant Association or almost equally brilliant
Cowsills.
Unless I was convinced they were as sick as me anyway.

Which leads us to the "Up with People" theme song:

Up up with People
You meet em wherever you go
Up up with people
They're the best kind of folks we know
If more people were for people
All people everywhere
There'd be a lot less people to worry about
And a lot more people to care

I have a lyric sheet from "Up with People III" so next time maybe I'll
include some lyrics from "Gee I'm looking forward to the future".

I'm not sure too many people made it this far in this post so I'm just
highlighting this entry.  It's so rare someone here mentions big John.
This of course does not belong on a list of "Cheesy Hammond" stuff unless
you think all Hammond stuff is cheesy (which I sort of do...)
I have to admit I first came to John Patton through John Zorn who used him
on his fantastic Morricone tribute, specifically in that excellent
exotic/erotic cut "Erotico".
I'd trace my interest in "exotica" to that specific cut as much as anything
else.
As you may know, a LOT of John Patton stuff was reissued in Blue Note's
"rare groove" series and while he is my favorite jazz organ player, I can't
recommend all of it.
I'm not sure my favorite of his "That Certain Feeling" was even reissued.
Among the definitely reissued, I can recommend "Let em Roll".
One thing that sets Big John apart from all the other jazz organists of the
time is that he wrote a lot of what he performs.
Even if you love jazz organ like I do, the sameness of the tunes covered
can get tiresome.
Big John also made at least one new CD with Zorn.
If you remember my pal "Herb", he did the liner notes on one of them.

Nat

There is something very sick about the lyrics to up up with people that still turns the
stomach of this rock and roll fan from the 60s turned exoticat open viewed in the 90's.
 I don't think you are as old as I am but this was a red flag that was hung up in front
of rock and roll bulls in the 60's and it seemed especially revolting for rock and roll
fans, more so than any other group, Ray Coniff, Andy Williams etc.  (Whom I like now)

Up Wit People   = YUK!!

Now, I wonder if I hear it now if I'll like it???

But I mean it still gives me chills to hear those words reprinted.

I haven't heard this though since the 60's

Thanks for your input about this whole subject

I'm going to recommend a film that you probably will have trouble finding,
especially since I don't remember the title.
It was about a family of aboriginals in Australia, the patriarch of which,
was a famous "primitive-style" artist.  (An Aussie "Norval Morrisseau" for
the Canucks.)
Anyway, the father was now dead but his family carried on in his tradition,
creating and selling "original" paintings for the tourists who continued to
visit the shrine of his birthplace.
They maintained the shack he originally lived in and pumped out copies of
his paintings using paint-by-number grids.
But they didn't exactly live in that shack.
It was an illusion.
Maybe Keith can find it for us when he moves down under.  It's not as good
as the movie about the cane toads but it's close.

<re Gleen Close, Brian said "she has a very good (seemingly trained)

I haven't seen the film, but Glenn starred as an opera singer in
"Meeting Venus" a while back, singing a lot of Wagner's very beautiful
opera "Tannhauser". The Tannhauser overture is on Skip Martin's
"Scheherejazz" LP (guessing at the spelling).  I dig how Skip slips from
classical to swingin jazz and back, and also does a fine job on the LP's
Rimsky-Korsakoff piece, definitely a classical exotica classic.
 Wondering if Glenn ever sang that other Wagner ditty that Elmer Fudd
blustered in "What's Opera, Doc?" You know, "Kill the wabbit, kill the
wabbit..."

And let's not forget Glenn Close's musical theater career: most recently
Sunset Boulevard, but also Barnum! I actually saw her in Sunset Boulevard,
and though it wasn't much musically, she more than held her own.

The one with the grrl in the pink capri's on the cover isn't much good,
you could mail it to my house.  The others were highly regarded at the
time, I think it was in the schwann catalog, but have fallen from favor
with the downtown set.  Best time to play them is during those late night
ironing sessions on saturday night ;)

effect.  If there are some new folks out there on the list that are just
getting into Space Age Pop music, I highly recommend it.  I actually just got
a copy recently and have been wearing it out.

> Well, what are the lyrics???????

again, from the same zine article I wrote 4 years ago on 'Up With People'
Pardon my liberal  hyberbole........
==============
The lyrics for the song 'Freedom Isn't Free' say
"You've got to pay a price,
 You've got to sacrifice,
 for your liberty.'

It's strange though that as much as the conservatives talk about sacrificing, it
is they who are constantly crying for more tax cuts so they can keep a higher
percentage of their paycheck.

My favorite lyric of the song is ......
 " In ancient Rome they felt so free
     Doin' what comes naturally
   They were so busy being merry ones
     That they didn't notice the barbarians."

Oh those wild and wonderful and wacky conservatives.  Do you detect a little
paranoia here?  The same type of paranoia that convinces some of the people who
don camouflage for their weekly militia meetings?  What will they come up with
next?
====================================
and then I went on to write my next article, which was about the  Dr. Jack Impe
and his LP 'The Coming War with Russia according to the bible  Where?  When?
Why?"

Subject: (exotica) Getting Hip w/ Beyondo Mondo Record Party

FYI:

In this Sunday night's special "Get Chip Hip" installment of The Beyondo
Mondo Record Party, I, Tothar, undertake the benevolent quest of making
my friend Chip more hip by introducing him to important musics, while
leaving the mics on the whole time to capture his spontaneous reactions
and my additional commentary.

(11:00-midnight Eastern on WAPS 91.3 FM for those in the greater Akron
area, or in streaming Real Audio at www.913thesummit.com for anybody
else; every Sunday night, with me heading up a small, rotating pool of
DJs...would that be an "eddy?")

Included in this pre-recorded wonder are incomparable veterans like
Esquivel, Ennio Morricone, Enoch Light, Dick Hyman, Ray Martin, Mel
Henke, Perez Prado, Lucia Pamela, The Shaggs, and Mrs. Miller. Plus,
there's a sampling of hip 90s acts like Combustible Edison, Seks Bomba,
Man or Astro-Man?, Operation Re-Information, and NE Ohio's premiere
spy-instrumental combo, Spy-Fi. AND *MORE*! You wouldn't believe what you
can squeeze into an hour when you talk over all of the music!

Classics for the initiated, essentials for the uninformed. Be there, or
be doomed to squaresville. Tell all your friends!

Subject: (exotica) Help Needed - Caravan

Hello everyone,

I'm soon to be embarking on a project of immense proportions, and I'd like
to ask for your help.  I am in the midst of designing a website that will
essentially be "The Caravan MP3 of the X".  I'd like to have a new version
of Caravan available for download every day.... but may have to do it once a
week, etc.

In any event, seeing as everyone and there mothers seems to have performed
Caravan at one time or another, I am soliciting donations of mp3's of any
versions of Caravan you may be able to supply.  I have  a few that I'll be
starting out with, but need help obtaining a lot more.

So, what's in it for you?

Well, first and foremost, if you'd like to complete your Caravan Collection,
you'll be able to.  Second, you'll have a warm fuzzy feeling like Chewbacca
for helping me out.  :)  And finally, if you would like your name in lights,
I'll be happy to give you credit for your donation when it comes time for
that particular version of Caravan.

Why am I doing this?

Boredom, mostly.  Also, I've heard some rather funky versions of Caravan out
there, and it seems to keep popping up whenever I turn my head.  So, I
figured, why not consolidate everything into one central place?

Please e-mail me at my other address: [e-mail] for any other
info I can provide you with, or to send your favorite versions of Caravan
to.

Thanks!
- -Kev.

The Cheesy part meant was the liner notes. No way is that album cheesy.
I'm over my typing urge now. Back to the one line posts...

Are they the sleeve notes on 'Guitars for Girl Friday'? My copy's
signed, so i guess that probably doubles its value up to the full
pound...
'Hammond in Hawaii' has a couple of nice tracks IMO.
