That's sad news.  I met Gil a few times when I worked at Fantagraphics.  A
classy guy, a very talented artist (most famous for his Silver Age Green
Lantern stories).

Oy, I was just in New Orleans.  The Rising Sun was a famous whorehouse there.

A co-worker used to frequent this establishment regularly since she lives
in Smyrna. Here is what she remembers:

>There was a story on the back of the menu about the proprietor --
>apparently a WWII vet who started the place after returning from service
>in Hawaii.

It's run by his daughter now.


>I guess one of the odder things about the place is that it is "BYOB" (no
>kidding... it says it own the menu).  I guess they lost their liquor
>license somewhere along the way?

Until Jan 1, 2000, xxxx by the drink was verboten in Smyrna. She said
'beer' but this might have included liquor in general. She doesn't know if
there have been any changes at the Omni Hut due to this.


No Tiki mugs that she can remember. But some type of drinks come with those
cute little umbrellas that everyone is talking about now-a-days.

The walls have some sort of florescent floral motif that was subjected to
black light irradiation. Don't know if that constitutes the entire wall
covering motif or is used sparingly for effect. But for my money, you can't
have enough black light in a room.

There is a waterfall inside.

She wasn't very specific about the menu - basic Poly stuff - except for the
appetizer platter - She really liked that. And the 'flaming volcano ice
cream desert' with some sort of combustible material dropped in the caldera.

The front door handles are large wooden cylindrical carved things - She
couldn't confirm if they were Tikis or not.

She couldn't remember anything about background music.

If you have any questions, I can pass them along.

version::

                                                       1. There is a
house in New Orleans
                                                        They call the

                                                        It's been the
ruin of many a poor girl
                                                        And me, Oh Lord!
was one

                                                        My mother was a
tailor,
                                                        She sewed them
new blue jeans.
                                                        My lover he was
a gambler, Oh Lord,
                                                        |: Gambled down
in New Orleans. :|

                                                        2. My lover, he
was a gambling man
                                                        He went from
town to town;
                                                        And the only
time he was satisfied
                                                        Was when he
drank his liquor down.

                                                        Now the only
thing a gambling man needs
                                                        Is a suitcase
and a trunk;

There is no such thing as 'the original' House Of the Rising Sun. The
song is based on a 16th. century British ballad (The Unfortunate Rake).
This early version traveled to America where it began a new life in the
bars of New Orleans. I've got a very early version by the black female
singer Hally Wood, recorded somewhere in the late 20's. It's on the '64
Elektra 4-LP set 'The Folk Box). The original lyrics were very diferent
though. House Of the Rising used to be about a brothel, from a
prostitute's point of view, but later interpreters cleaned the song up
(most notalbly the Animals). So if you want a very early version, check
good blues compilations. But Baez, Dylan? No way.
Hope this helps!
R.

The "House of the Rising Sun" is about a parrish prison in La (the
state, not the city). They all had "House" names. Every freekin' body
thinks it is about a slut house. Get real and get the facts.

I believe he is thinking of Leadbelly's version. The old blues singer
Jesse Fuller once said in an interview that Leadbelly learned the song
while in prison and changed the words to reflect his situation at the
time.

After some inquiry, I learned that a woman, Georgia Turner from
Kentucky, is given credit for the song first here in America. Prior to
Eric Burdon, it was about a woman. A burnt out prostitute that keeps
going back to her former place of employment. Alan Lomax also found some
related songs from Suffolk, England. The name 'Rising Sun' also shows up
in two other old British songs, both refer to a bawdy house of some
sort. ;-)

If anyone really wants to argue, hey I'm just passing along what I
found. Believe the version you want.

The Elektra box set comes with a booklet with the printed lyrics of this
very early - 20's - version of House Of the Rising Sun and it's clearly
from the perspective of a burned out and bitter prostitute, not only
complaining about her own fate and that she has to put up with heavy
drinking men, but also warning girls 'not to do what I have done.' I'm
not looking for an argument either, just like to exchange information,
and like to do that with an open mind and a decent attitude. Even when
we talk about prostitutes.
That's why I made my point in the previous post.

Subject: (exotica) TILT!

Scott Walker's TILT was the first thing I ever heard by Walker, back in '95
when it came out.  I hated it.  With a passion.  "Who is this goof, trying
to sound for all the world like Neil Diamond gone opera..." Especially
puzzling to me since I'd read gushing reviews by all the 'good' music press.
 Ah, well, not for me, said I.

Well, soon after, I heard Scott's four classic '60's LP's, and within 2
listens I swore I'd never listen to another person until I died.  Sorta.
Unbelieveably fantastic.  THEN, I dug further back to this mystery bloke's
roots to hear the Walker Brothers.  It was then that I realized that Scott
was on an upward and outward trajectory from the very beginning.  The WB's
sweet pop was the springboard, and Walker broke the band up at the height of
their chart success, to pursue a totally personal vision, indifferent to
popular appeal.

I soon realized I'd better give TILT a second listen.  Man, is it a good
thing I did.  Knowing the road this guy had come down to get to that point,
I think TILT is a completely riveting and searing record.  Sometimes harsh
jap-noise, sometimes Xenakis-like dread tones, with the occasional very
brief and sweet break in the clouds before sinking again.

I agree that his voice sounds nothing like the early Scott.  In fact, I'd
never really know it was the same voice.  But it sends chills down your
spine, and his over-the-top crooning never had it so cold.  So if you can
allow yourself three or four listens through the record to acclimate, it
will pay off.  As 'm.ace' succinctly put it, ain't no sound bytes here,
folks...it's gotta run it's eerie coarse.

Keith

Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Whore songs: House of the Rising Sun

About 10 years ago I took a trip to New Orleans - and on my very first
afternoon there I took a 'Walking Voodoo Tour of New Orleans'  It was a good
introduction to the city - got to see Marie Laveau's grave, Congo Square (where
the slaves, free blacks, and others met to drum and make music), and a neat
Catholic Church that was more 'voodoo' friendly than the churches up north.

At one point, our guide stopped, pointed to a building, and said that building
was the original 'House of the Rising Sun'   I took a picture of the building,
but didn't believe him.  I got the impression that he was just saying the
statement to make the gullible tourists happy.  We also went into this drug
store museum, where on the walls they had placed various canisters that held
various herbs - among them were jars marked Love Potion #11, Love Potion #8,
and of course, Love Potion #9.  I got a picture of that too, although I doubted
the authenticity of it.  Still I loved it all - if they are looking for
gullible tourists, at least they have the good taste to appeal to the tourists
who know a bit of music history.

At the time the tour started from the Voodoo museum, which was located on a
quiet side street in the French Quarter - you had to make a small effort to get
there.  Last time I was there, it has been moved to Bourbon Street - where it
was visited and regularly crowded by large groups of tourists.

Subject: (exotica) House of the Rising Sun

Being from New Orleans you'd think I'd know more about this but a friend sent
it to me.
          This was in Gambit a local New Orleans newspaper  two weeks ago:

"HEY BLAKE,
          I've taken a number of tours of the French Quarter, and there
seems to be a divergence of opinion as to the existance of the famed
House of the Rising Sun. Sevral carriage tours feature this as a part of
their tours. However, I've heard from a number of tour guides that this
is a product f some writer's fertile imagination. What's your view?"

                    JOSEPH

DEAR JOSEPH,
           We love good stories in the Big Easy, so a lot of folks
mistakenly believe this one about the house of ill repute made famous by
the Animals' song in the 1960s. From time to time, a new version of the
story appears, and a recent one about the house that was the "ruin of
many a poor boy" involves a madam who operated an establishment at
826-830 St. Louis St. from 1862-74.
           According to the story, the owner was Marianne LeSoleil
Levant, whose name means "rising sun" in French. It seems the house was
shut down because the neighbors complained of the noise. But this claim
cannot be supported by public records such as city directories from the
period.

Easy listening in the Big Easy
Chuck

Subject: (exotica) Four Rooms (Movie)

Has anybody seen this movie?  I don't recall seeing it discussed in
recent months, but it appeared to be a few years old.  Heavy exotica
soundtrack.  Tim Roth plays a hotel employee who experiences 4 wildly
different groups of people in all sorts of weird, very campy, over the
top situations - alternates between groaningly not funny and hysterical,
featuring Ione Skye & Madonna as part of a coven (the first segment, and
perhaps the funniest), and several other character actors through the 4

                            *David Levy
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- David Levy, the former network executive who
created ``The Addams Family'' television comedy, died Jan. 25. He
was 87.
    He was vice president of the television department at the Young
& Rubicam advertising agency in the 1950s when ad agencies were
pivotal in the development of TV shows.
    In 1959, Levy became vice president in charge of programming at
NBC and he was instrumental in bringing ``Dr. Kildare,''
``Bonanza'' and the ``Movie of the Week'' to the network. He left
NBC in the 1960s.
    He was best-known as creator of ``The Addams Family,'' which ran
on ABC from 1964 to 1966.
    A critic of excessive sex and violence in television shows, Levy
later became a leader of the Caucus of Producers-Writers-Directors,
helping to steer the group into supporting strict ratings for
television.

                            *K.N. Singh
    BOMBAY, India (AP) -- K.N. Singh, the ``gentleman villain'' actor
of Hindi cinema for more than six decades, died Monday. He was 91.
    Singh gave up his career as a lawyer in 1937 and brought his
robust personality and chilling voice to Bombay, where he joined
India's young movie industry. India now makes more movies than any
other country.
    Singh played dandies and bad guys in more than 200 movies and
was famous for his pipe-smoking, hat-wearing character of the
``gentleman villain.''

                     *Joseph Deighton Gibson Jr.
    HENDERSON, Nev. -- Joseph Deighton Gibson Jr., better known to
his broadcast audience as ``Jack The Rapper,'' died Sunday after a
lengthy illness. The radio pioneer was 79.
    Gibson, who began his career in 1945, was known as ``Jockey
Jack'' during his early years in radio. He first worked in Atlanta
on WERD, one of the nation's first black owned and operated radio
stations, in a talk show called, ``Good Morning, Atlanta.''
    Gibson pioneered the standup broadcast booth, according to the
book ``A Journey Through Black Radio in America.''
    ``Gibson thought if disc jockeys stood up, they would project
their voices with higher energy, thus he raised all the broadcast
studio equipment,'' the book said.
    As Jack The Rapper, he founded an annual national music
conference called ``Family Affair'' and was Motown's first national
director of promotions in 1962.
    He also worked for DECCS Records from 1966 to 1969 and at one
time was a vice president of promotions at Stax Records. In 1955 he
founded the group National Association of Radio Announcers.
    In addition to his wife, Gibson is survived by a daughter; a
son; a sister; six grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

Sorry. All I really know about Tom Dissevelt is that he was a
technician at Nat-lab, the first electronic music studio set up at the
Philips physics laboratory in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Dick Raaijmakers
was another technician there at the same time.

It is my understanding that Scott Walker will be curator of the Meltdown
Festival this summer. There is no word about him performing, which seems
highly unlikely. If he were, I'd be buying my plane ticket for sure.

Speaking of Scott, did everyone hear the wonderful track that he recorded
for the soundtrack to the last James Bond film, The World Is Not Enough? It
was called "Only Myself To Blame" and it's a wonderful torch ballad in the
style of his late 60's work. Not a Scott original, but a good song and an
amazing performance.

We have record stores like that in LA... No one ever buys
anything from them.

I don't have many politico-economic principles set in stone, but
not paying over $10 for any hunk of vinyl is one of them. $1 or
$2 disks I will take a chance on, but a $10 one better be pretty
damn good.

Even with that resolution, there is still more good music than
I can haul home with me.

As record collectors we are scavengers of middle America's cast-
offs. We should proudly admit that. We shouldn't be party to
trying to elevate our status through artificial inflation of
prices.

You are fortunate in that you can find what you want and like for so low
a price of one or two dollars.  I'm not in that position, unfortunately.

I'd love to quote this last paragraph the next time someone defends price
gouging at auctions (especially eBay) on the A&M Discussion Forum.  May I
use the quote?  I sure could have used that quote this past weekend to
backup my statements when that topic was discussed.  While they fiercely
defend searching cut out bins, thrift stores and the like for inexpensive
A&M vinyl, many of the same folks have no problem with an auction seller
getting $200.00 and up for a 15 yr. old Herb Alpert CD!  Talk about major
ripoff.

Oh well, off to work now.

Mainly Combustible Edison with some Esquivel thrown in.  For me, the movie
is best seen as if it were an anthology series (in fact, one of the stories
looks like it was based on one of the more famous episodes of the original
Alfred Hitchcock Presents)...a half hour at a time.

In general, the movie was not so great but the music was outstanding.  I am
not sure all of the music actually fit the scene (especially Esquivel's),
but it sounds great all by itself.

I have seen the soundtrack CD on sale within the last 6 months at closeout
prices (5 dollars or less).  This is a good CD!
