hi all -

I've just wrapped up my two volume collection of whistlers and birdies with
musical accompaniment, so if interested please check out the track lists and
some scans at <A HREF="http://www.metro.net/basichip/whistling/whistling.htm">
http://www.metro.net/basichip/whistling/whistling.htm</A>.

One of the volumes is all 78's, including the complete set of the American
Radio Warblers series.

Sorry if the scans are sluggish to load, I'm new to this web page business.
Please let me know if there are difficulties viewing the pages.

I have a number of vinyl favorites that i'm planning to record to CD-R, so
stay tuned.  As always, cost is not much more than materials and shipping or
i'm always open to trading, etc.

happy new year!

Looking very nice, BH. I'm cuckoo for Professor Birdee, from the Hartz
Mountain Parakeet Training Record...

Ron G., must ask: Is said image from record cover of yore which you hung
with pride in your rec room? It's far better than what I imagined. Love
that stylin' morterboard. Does that mean Hartz Training Grads are bird
brains? (sorry for an awful yoke). Mimi

Subject: (exotica) [obits]Irving Rapper,Dick Peabody,Harry Monty,Nat Adderly

12/29/99
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Filmmaker Irving Rapper, best known for a
directing Bette Davis in string of films including ``Now,
Voyager,'' has died. He was 101.
    Rapper, who had been a resident of the Motion Picture and
Television Fund home in suburban Woodland Hills since 1995, died
Dec. 20, according to his niece, Rita Rothenberg.
    ``Now, Voyager,'' 1942, featured a famous romantic scene in
which Paul Henreid lit two cigarettes simultaneously and handed one
to Davis, who played a troubled spinster who comes out of her
shell. The Film Encyclopedia, a reference book, calls the film ``a
superior soap opera, grandly spun and beautifully played.''
    Rapper formed a strong professional relationship with Davis and
directed her in three other films: ``The Corn Is Green,''
``Deception'' and ``Another Man's Poison.''
    Rapper once said that Davis ``has an inner electricity. Only
once in a lifetime do you meet an actress like her. She could take
the most insignificant line and make it sound dynamic.''
    After entering films as a dialogue coach for Warner Bros.,
Rapper made his film directing debut in 1941 with ``Shining
Victory.'' That same year, he directed Fredric March in ``One Foot
in Heaven,'' his first popular and critical success, which earned a
nomination for an Academy Award as best picture.
    Among his other films in the 1940s were ``Anna Lucasta'' and a
couple of biopics, ``Rhapsody in Blue,'' about George Gershwin, and
``The Adventures of Mark Twain.''
    Rapper's final picture under his original Warner Bros. contract
was the 1947 comedy ``The Voice of the Turtle'' starring Eleanor
Parker and Ronald Reagan. He later said he thought Reagan didn't
turn out to be good at comedy.
    After leaving the studio, many critics say Rapper's work
faltered. His 1956 film ``The Brave One,'' about a Mexican boy and
a bull, is regarded as his best later work. The movie earned
then-blacklisted Dalton Trumbo an Oscar for best original story.
    Born in London, Rapper came to the United States as a child.
After studying law, he became involved in theater and moved quickly
from acting to stage managing to directing. His direction of the
1936 Broadway melodrama ``Crime'' got the attention of Hollywood
and helped him get a job at Warner Bros.

    CAMINO, Calif. (AP) -- Dick Peabody, the 6-foot-6 actor who
portrayed the gentle giant farm boy, Littlejohn, on the 1960s TV
series ``Combat,'' has died. He was 74.
    Peabody died of prostate cancer Monday in Camino, a community
near Placerville where he wrote a column called ``Peabody's Place''
for the Placerville Mountain Democrat, fellow ``Combat'' star and
close friend Rick Jason said.
    The series, which also starred the late Vic Morrow, illustrated
the ravages of the European invasion during World War II. It ran on
ABC from 1962 to 1967 and has remained popular in syndication and
on video.
    During its run, the series attracted guest stars like Lee
Marvin, Telly Savalas, Sal Mineo, Ted Knight, Eddie Albert and
James Coburn.
    Peabody, whose more than 120 television show credits included
``Gunsmoke,'' also appeared in six motion pictures, including
``Support Your Local Sheriff'' starring James Garner.
    In 1971, Peabody joined KFI radio as a talk show host,
interviewing Hollywood celebrities from a booth at Universal
Studios.

                            *Harry Monty
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Harry Monty, one of the original Munchkins
from the 1939 classic ``The Wizard of Oz,'' died Tuesday. He was
95.
    The diminutive actor and stuntman, whose real name was Hymie
Lichenstein, portrayed a Munchkin, one of the myriad of ``Little
People'' who helped Dorothy, played by Judy Garland, follow the
yellow brick road. He also played an evil winged-monkey in the
movie.
    He was born in Dallas to Polish immigrants and used his short
stature to an advantage on the big screen.
    Monty started his career in vaudeville and appeared in motion
pictures from the 1930s to the 1970s, including uncredited roles on
``Planet of the Apes'' with Charlton Heston and ``Hello, Dolly!''
with Barbra Streisand.
    He also appeared in 1954's ``River of No Return,'' among a
number of other films.
    Monty had frequent roles on television, having appeared in such
popular series as ``Bonanza,'' ``Lost in Space,'' and
``Bewitched.''

                            *Nat Adderly
    LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- Nat Adderley, a member of the Jazz Hall of
Fame who performed on nearly a hundred albums, died Sunday at his
home of complications from diabetes. He was 68.
    Inducted into the Hall of Fame in Kansas City in 1997, the
Florida-born cornetist first came to prominence with his older
brother, saxophonist Julian ``Cannonball'' Adderley, in the 1950s.
    The composer of such jazz standards as ``Work Song'' and ``Jive
Samba,'' Nat Adderley was known for recordings by his own group and
with his late brother's Cannonball Adderley Quintet.
    ``Cannonball was the big one. ... I'm just a little bebop
trumpet player,'' Nat Adderley said in 1986. ``Bebop is the pot of
gold, and you can't feel good about yourself unless your playing.''
    Adderley took up trumpet in 1946 and switched to cornet in 1950.
He spent time in the U.S. Army between 1951-53 and played in bands
while in the service.
    Since Cannonball's death in 1975, Nat had led his own quintets.
His most notable sidemen were altoists Sonny Fortune and Vincent
Herring.
    In 1997, he joined the faculty of Florida Southern College as
artist in residence. He had also headlined and hosted the school's
annual ``Child of the Sun Jazz Festival'' for more than 10 years.

Subject: (exotica) Re: if someone could comb through everything that everyone has said about various records

    i'm so glad you asked, Byron, 'cause that's exactly what i'm doing
right now... well, not comb through EVERYTHING, but i do save comments and
reviews about recent CD's and new vinyl now and then (so, not about old
collectable vinyl - someone else should do that). i put them in my
filemaker database, upon which the "eXotica Releases Overview" is based. in
its next version, all those quotes are to be combined under each record.
but it needs some programming work, AND i need to ask permission to each
and everyone who wrote a comment, to use it. i'm also thinking of changing
the name into something more appropriate, but i don't know what...
something like "fragments of the collective memory of some members of the
exotica mailing list about exotica and related CD's and new vinyl"...

    so, what do you all think?

Monday January 24, 2000
Legong - new original score for silent film   7:00 PM

World Financial Center, Winter Garden, New York
Downtown in Battery Park City, on West Street between the World Trade
Center and the  Hudson River, and Vesey and Liberty Streets.

A new film score by Richard Marriott and I Made Subandi
performed live with members of the Club Foot Orchestra
and Gamelan Sekar Jaya. The 1935 Henry de la Falaise
film, Legong: Dance of the Virgins, was shot on location
in 1933 with an all Balinese cast, the last silent film
produced by Hollywood using the Technicolor process.

It is a lush and tragic tale of an idealized tropical
"paradise" and romantic awakenings. Accompanying the
screening of this recently restored (by UCLA Film
Archive) print is a live performance of an original score
which combines Balinese gamelan with string quartet
and winds performed by Gamelan Sekar Jaya, and the
Club Foot Orchestra, a pioneer of the modern use of live
music in silent film. The screening will be followed by a
live performance of the traditional Legong Kraton dance
by Gamelan Sekar Jaya's dancers and musicians.

Subject: (exotica) Recent Finds & digitized tradables

These are recent borrows not finds, but what the heck. Since they're both Les
Baxter clone albums ( I assume they're clones from the dates they were
released) I'm sure they've been discussed at length before my time on the
list, but their new to me, so here goes.

"Jun'gala" by Marty Wilson & his Orchestra -
As I said above it's a total Baxter copy, but hey if you're going to copy
somebody, he was the man to copy.  The album is like listening to a
continuation of Baxter's "African Jazz", what can I say, it's great.  Plus
the version of "Manteca" has a hint of "Tequila" thrown in and it's a killer.
 I give it 10.9003 on my scale of 0.86 - 13.004

"Pagan Festival" by Dominic Frontiere uses an Inca theme and has the
orchestral/choral chanting quality of Baxter's "Tamboo!" & "Scared Idol".
This album also sounds enough like Baxter for me to like it, quite a bit.  I
give it 11.21 on my scale of 0.86 - 13.004

These two I have digitized, so if anyone would like to trade me something for
a copy drop me a line.

Subject: (exotica) The Most Performed Ascap Songs of the Century

Here is Ascap's top 25 songs of the century.

ASCAP ANNOUNCES TOP 25 SONGS OF THE CENTURY

 "Happy Birthday to You" Is Most Performed ASCAP Song
As the century and millennium draw to a close this week, Marilyn
Bergman, President and Chairman of ASCAP (the American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publishers) has announced ASCAP's 25
most-performed songs and musical works of the Twentieth Century. Heading
the list, with far and away the most performances, is a song known to
virtually every adult and child in the United States and around the
world -- "Happy Birthday to You," by Mildred J. Hill and Patty Hill.
This copyrighted song has been publicly performed hundreds of millions
of times this century.

ASCAP, the oldest U.S. music rights licensing organization, was founded
in 1914 (charter members included Irving Berlin, George M. Cohan ,
Jerome Kern and Victor Herbert). ASCAP has been licensing and tracking
performances of the copyrighted music of its writer and publisher
members for almost 86 years. Not only does ASCAP possess the greatest
and most envied treasury of song standards, it also boasts an
unparalleled contemporary repertory -- the 1999 year-end Billboard Top
Ten Charts are dominated by ASCAP songwriters. With over 90,000 members,
4 million copyrighted musical works of every musical genre and style,
ASCAP has the highest revenues and deepest catalogue of any performing
rights organization in the world.
The full "Century" list, in alphabetical order:

"As Time Goes By" (Herman Hupfeld)
"Blue Moon" (Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart)
"The Christmas Song" (Mel Torme, Robert Wells)
"Happy Birthday to You" (Mildred J. Hill, Patty Hill)
"Hello Dolly" (Jerry Herman)
"I Could Have Danced All Night" (Frederick Loewe, Alan Jay Lerner)
"I Got Rhythm" (George & Ira Gershwin)
I Left My Heart in San Francisco" (Douglass Cross, George C. Corey,Jr.)
"I Only Have Eyes for You" ((Harry Warren, Al Dubin)
"Misty" (Erroll Garner, Johnny Burke")
"Moon River" (Henry Mancini, Johnny Mercer)
"Night and Day" (Cole Porter)
"Over the Rainbow" (Harold Arlen, E.Y. "Yip" Harburg)
"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" (Burt Bacharach, Hal David)
"Rhapsody in Blue" (George Gershwin)
"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"  (J. Fred Coots, Haven Gillespie)
"Stardust" (Hoagy Carmichael, Mitchell Parish)
"Sweet Georgia Brown" (Ben Bernie, Kenneth Casey, Maceo Pinkard)
"Tea for Two" (Irving Caesar, Vincent Youmans)
"That Old Black Magic" (Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer)
"Theme from the Three Penny Opera (Mack the Knife)" (Kurt Weill,
  Berthold Brecht, Marc Blitzstein)
"Unchained Melody" (Alex North, Hy Zaret)
"The Way We Were" (Marvin Hamlisch, Alan & Marilyn Bergman)
"White Christmas" (Irving Berlin)
"Winter Wonderland" (Felix Bernard, Richard B. Smith)

The writers of "Happy Birthday to You," sisters Mildred and Patty Hill,
 were kindergarten and Sunday school teachers in Louisville, Kentucky
during the 1890's and later taught at Columbia University in New York
City. The song was originally written as "Good Morning to You." With the
 later addition of the birthday lyrics, the song was copyrighted as
"Happy Birthday to You" in 1935. Published by Warner-Chappell, it is
almost universally recognized as the official birthday song, and
continues to be used extensively in films, television and theater.
ASCAP represents its members by licensing and distributing royalties for
the non-dramatic public performances of their copyrighted works. ASCAP
 is the only U.S. performing rights organization governed by and for its
 members.

I wish, Mimi.  I have a few of the diskies BH has, but I'm in the bush
leages compared to this dedicated ISM Jedi Knight.

Subject: (exotica) London Scores / First Tune of 2000

Hi all and a very happy m-word to every one of you...

I was home at my mum's near London over the Xmas/New Year
break and I managed to squeeze a shopping trip to London in last
Thursday.  I came away with some goodies which I thought I would
share with you:

Music and Tape Exchange, Notting Hill (great selection as always
but prices still hugely inflated - 75 quid for an original "Moog
Power" anyone?)

Terry Snyder - "Persuasive Percussion" (a UK issue - and I didn't
even know this *was* issued in the UK! - from 1965 (yes - 5 years
after the US issue...) with a great cover shot of Terry Snyder
surrounded by go-go girls)

Mireille Mathieu - "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize" (only 2 quid -
haven't heard any Mathieu before and thought this was a good way
to check her out)

Ray Martin - "Dynamica" (amazingly only 5 quid - haven't heard it
yet so there may be a reason for the low price!)

Claude Denjean - "Open Circuit" (15 quid - not *too* bad a price I
thought.  In fact I got a discount as the LP is on a different label
from the one on the sleeve!)

Esquivel - "Infinity In Sound / Infinity In Sound 2" (CD)

Lord Sitar - epon (mid price CD reissue)

And then...

Intoxica (Portobello Road) - my first visit (ouch! what a great shop!)
Amongst many expensive gems seen in this shop was the original
vinyl two-fer LP issue of "Music out of the Moon / Music for Peace
of Mind" (for 100 quid!).  They also had Mort Garson's "Zodiac" for
about 75 quid.  But at the cheaper end of the spectrum I did pick
up:

Ken Nordine et al - "Sounds in Space" (main incentive for getting
this was that it was "only" 16 quid)

Les Baxter - "Carribean Moonlight" (9 quid - they had lots of other
Baxter and Denny but all quite expensive and this Dutch reissue
does have possibly my favourite Baxter track, "Taboo", on it...)

Tom Scott with the California Dreamers - "The Honeysuckle
Breeze" (a vinyl "reissue" I didn't know about - 2 tracks from this
LP appear on the California Dreamin' - Jazz Exotica CD comp
which came out last year)

The Electronic Concept Orchestra - "Moog Groove" (vinyl "reissue"
cheaper that I saw it in Rough Trade, not heard it yet)

Oh that reminds me - just before Xmas here in Edinburgh I picked
up another vinyl "reissue" I'm surprised no-one has mentioned -
Don Sebesky's "Distant Galaxy".  What a great record that is...

And the first track of 2000?

Lord Sitar - "If I Were a Rich Man"!


Robbie

My pal, married to a French woman, gave me a Mirielle Mathieu LP on vinyl
from 1966. (always a safe year to bet on too). I was crazy about it, but then
Catherine burst my bubble by informing me that in her circles, Mirielle was
considered an Edith Piaf wannabe...Still, the arrangements are more "now"
sounding and although the Piaf influence is indeed strong, the
Atlantic-recorded tunes she sings generally stand on their own as 6T's period
pieces IMHO (although I believe she survived professionally into the 8T's,
remember them?)...Jimmy Botticelli

Hi Robbie

I really enjoy Moog Groove.  It is just one of my faves in that genre.  I
hope you enjoy it.

And Don Sebesky??  I had already noticed today that Johan listed it on his
years best.

Believe it or not I actually bought Zodiac when it was originally released
and use to laugh at it with my friends.  Now I am just glad to own it.

And I really like Lord Sitar. a lot,   but find it annoying the way the
stereo is imaged.  I think I actually would prefer this in mono.

Easy listening in the Big Easy
Chuck

I seem to be languishing in the cellar when it comes to my words-spelled
average, too.

Well, Tiki Bob suggested this and those not of the pagan religion were
doubters.  You would all burn in Hell except we pagans do not believe in
Hell.  (At least not his pagan -- unless you consider a trip to Montana
listening to Britteny Spears as Hell).

Here's a stream I set up for Jack Diamond - It's an aircheck of one of his
old shows.

I am giving live365.com another chance at streaming my stuff. It's been a
pain in the past, but I hear they are getting better, so if y'all can check
it out and send some feedback, I'd appreciate it. Modem users in distant
lands (not US or Canada) are especially encouraged to let me know how it it
comes accross.

I'll ask Jack to forward me a playlist so I can pass it along. Great Show.
Original Broadcast 3-28-99

Plug these numbers into your stream player http://216.32.166.82:8698

Thanks.

My favourite track by Mireille is 'Une Femme Amourouse' which is the French
version
of Barbra S's 'A woman in love', and it's streets ahead.  Sorry Babs, but
Mireille
sings it from the heart and soul...

Hugh.

Hi everyone. My name is Josh and I hail from sunny Florida. I dont really
know what to say, just wanted to introduce myself to the list.

I dont have a Tiki hut or a collection of Tiki mugs (or any coconut
products, for that matter), but I do enjoy lounge music and lounge culture.
I'm especially fond of Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Dean Martin, Sinatra, and
the slower stylings of Bobby Darin, among others. I'm also into ska, reggae,
and funk, although these are somewhat far removed from lounge and exotica.

Anyway, I'm happy to be on this list and I hope some more people post to it!

JOSH
