He was the star of Hogans Heroes. He was an early pioneer in the use
portable video recorders (before vhs or beta). He liked to videotape
himself while en flagrante delicto, if you know what I mean. He liked it a
little rough, a little kinky, and his corpse was tied up in phone chords,
and........well, it's a great story.

Plus, he was schtupping Helga (sorry to report that, Tiki Bob), his hot
co-star on HH, and who later appeared with him in dinner theatres after his
TV career fizzled out.

Schtupping, Shriners, Hogans Heroes----this list may finally have lost all
of it's international flavour.

And no one has answered what shriners are, are they those "ancient order of
the sacred moose types", that wear blue crimpelene suits, and moose horns,
or look like muhammed out of A.P.I.M.O.M.,  in scotland we have freemasons
and it just looks like a drinking club to me (which is not necessarily a bad
thing).

Is Hogans Heroes a programme about a famous golfers idols.

PS
Picked up a rather good copy of the "Stiletto" Soundtrack at the weekend,
Plus an Alan Aynsworth LP of him doing a fantastic cover of  "The
Entertainer".

It's too bad that Bob will best be remembered for how tragic his life
ended.  I'd rather remember him from "Hogan's Heroes".  I recall that he
was in other classic tv shows and frequent guest star appearances in
television as well.  He seemed like a real pleasant person.  And no one
has yet mentioned that he was also a musician--in addition to being an
actor, too (he played the drums).

One more TV item: a documentary on Phil Spector, Saturday night at 10:00pm
and 1:00am (eastern) on The Learning Channel.

Preceded at 9:00 (and midnight) by a program on album cover artists, Gary
Burden and Henry Diltz. They don't ring a bell for me.

 I thought I remembered someone here mentioning it was going for 70 bucks on
 Ebay, but when I rushed home and checked, the highest it had gone for was 35.
 But thats kind of a moot train of thought anyway, as my boyfriend has forbade
 me to sell it (and he doesnt even collect records). Am I remembering wrong?

It WAS at $70.  Looks like the guy wised up and retracted his bid.

By the Kokee Band.  Sure, pretty cool exotic percussion record on Solid State.

There's a record by that name by the Kokee band, on Solid State.
I like em though I like their other record "Hawaii and other exotic themes"
better.

>6. Hogans Heroes. Keep rockin' it!

Anybody have any records by Robert Clary, the french member of the heroes?
"LeBeau"? And I don't mean Hogans Heroes records that he appears on.  I
mean records of his own since he was a singer in his own right.  I saw him
on TV singing in that half singing/half talking Jacques Brel style that was
the law for French singers of the period.  But within the limits of that
style, he was pretty damn good.  He must have made records.  He could have
done a bang-up job on "If you go away".

I also wonder if a Hogan's Heroes completist would have to collect records
with orchestras conducted by Otto Klemperer.

And if anyone has the official Hogans Heroes records, I'm curious.  Is
there any music on it?  Is there, for instance, one of those "It's a gas"
style tunes with Schultz repeatedly saying "I know nothing"?

Raus!

I already regret this before I even send it but I know that, at the very

I used to have a running "joke" with one of my best friends, a person of
Ukrainian extraction - who those three listmembers all know - about the
history of Anti Semitism among his people.
Which he was always denying.  But he's in the habit of denying just about
everything.
We have this thing here every year called "Caravan" (I think) where
representatives of every imaginable country create a pavilion featuring
their national costumes, traditions, food, dance etc.  Then you buy a
"passport" and you can go from pavilion to pavilion, sampling the foods and
folk dances of the world.
So one day this friend and I were passing the Ukrainian pavilion, set up in
this Ukrainian community centre and suddenly he remembered a story.
It seems every year at Xmas when he was growing up in the sixties, they'd
have this "passion play" and one of the players was called something like
"the Dreeja".
He was the fool, the villain, the simpleton (the shriner?).  Nobody called
him anything but "The Dreeja" but everyone knew that it meant "the dirty Jew".
In the more recent politically correct times, I believe they maintained the
name "The Dreeja" but supposedly children were told that it translated into
"the dirty guy" or something to that effect.

That's kind of exotica-related isn't it?  At least the part about Caravan.

I don't have any Robert Clary records myself but the current issue of
"Show Music" has an ad in which Robert Clary himself is offering us lucky
music fans to buy any of three different CDs featuring his vocals,
accompanied by the John Rodby Trio. Your choices are "Robert Clary Sings
Rodgers and Hart and Johnny Mercer," "... Sings Berlin and Harburg," and
"... Sings Gershwin and Kern." They cost $13 a shot and he'll autograph
them if you want. Address is Robert Clary/SM
                             10001 Sundial Lane
                             Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Very nice Kevin, did he play by himself, or did he have invisible musical
accompanyment playing along with him? Just curious because if he needs a
backing band, im on the next flight to Hawaii with a couple of pals. And
man, does he looks great? has he been hittin' the weights or what?. Zowie!!
Thanks for the nice photos and the words Kevin.

This prompts me to ask - is it true that the violent porno movie "Ilsa - She
Wolf of the SS" was filmed on the Hogan's Heroes set? I seem to remember
this being the rumour some years ago when there were some video dubs of this
movie going around.

Yep, it's true.  The following is excerpted from the site
http://www.awcm.com/bbb/nr981013.htm

" If the background sets of this smarmy opus look familiar, it's because the
infamous Nazi Medical Camp 9 is actually the far more placid Stalag 13 from TV's
Hogan's Heroes. The set was being knocked down, so producer David Friedman (here
using the name Herman Traeger) had the perfect place to shoot the low-budget
film "

and while we're on the topic of nazis, Micheal Bolton is back in the news,
trying to wrestle the royalties away from the Isley Brothers.

RS 806 SD  Provocative
RS 808 SD  Persuasive Vol 1
RS 810 SD  Provocative Vol 1

RS 895 SD  Persuasive 1966

There was also a "Passionate Percussion" on Directional Sound, two volumes
of "Perspectives in Percussion" on Somerset, arranged by Skip Martin, and a
"Predominant Percussion" on Crown.  I'm pretty positive this prostrates the
poll of perdurable percussion platters.

All these old 12ers Charles is talking about have been
re-released as Premier Symptomes.

I don't know about remixes or alternate mixes which
may be on the 12s, but the originals are fantastic,
and if you like Air, you should pick this disc up.

Yes, "She Wolf of the SS" was shot on the Hogan's Heroes set.

No, it's not really a "porno" just a "roughie."

I wanted to pose with Diane Thorne, and even brought along my leather =

 *Bob Hite Sr.
    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Bob Hite Sr., whose rich baritone
voice brought children scrambling to the radio at the start of
``The Lone Ranger'' with a booming: ``From out of the past came the
thundering hoof beats of the great horse Silver!'' died Friday. He
was 86.
    Hite, an Indiana native, was a young man in the 1930s when he
went to work at Detroit radio station WXYZ. There, he announced
``The Lone Ranger'' and other radio shows, including the Green
Hornet.
    During World War II, Hite worked for CBS in New York City, where
he met Walter Cronkite and kept radio listeners informed about the
war with reports from journalists on the front lines. He also
announced the war's end.
    ``He was a wonderful, generous man,'' Cronkite told The Tampa
Tribune. ``I considered him one of my very closest friends.''
    When a young Frank Sinatra appeared with the Tommy Dorsey band
for the first time, Hite introduced him.
    Hite retired from CBS in 1979 and moved to Florida.
    Survivors include his wife, his son and three daughters.
 *Martin Weissman
    PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- Martin Weissman, better known as ``Trader
Jon,'' was never in the Navy, but he was renowned among naval
aviators for serving up cheer, loyalty and friendship at his
ramshackle saloon.
    The proprietor of Trader Jon's for nearly half a century died
Friday at the age of 84. He never fully recovered from a 1997
stroke that left him partly paralyzed and with impaired speech.
    Trader Jon's was a fixture for aviators from Pensacola Naval Air
Station, the Navy's training headquarters.
    The impish Weissman treated everyone with equal affection, from
raw recruits to war heroes, astronauts and celebrities, retired
Vice Adm. Jack Fetterman said Saturday.
    ``He was a loving, caring guy who never said anything bad about
anybody,'' Fetterman recalled. ``You talk about bonding, and you
talk about brotherhood, and you talk about what naval aviation was
all about. Trader kind of provided that foundation.''
    Weissman was an honorary flight leader of the Blue Angels
precision flying team, based at Pensacola, and they would sometimes
give him rides in their jets.
    The New York City native opened Trader Jon's in 1953 in an old
brick building, once a ship chandlery, on Pensacola's waterfront
after serving in the Army and tending bar in Miami and Key West.

                            *Miles White
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Miles White, a costume designer for Rodgers and
Hammerstein's first two Broadway hits, ``Oklahoma!'' and
``Carousel,'' died on Thursday. He was 85.
    In a career that touched seven decades, White also worked on
dozens of other musicals, movies, ballets, ice shows and circuses.
    He moved freely among periods, places and modes of dress,
outfitting cowboys, showgirls, circus performers and rock stars.
    In 1943, he used an old mail-order catalog to create a realistic
look for ``Oklahoma!'' patterning the show's outfits after those
the state's citizens might have once selected themselves.
    That year, White also worked on ``Ziegfeld Follies,'' which
featured Milton Berle. Two years later, he worked with Rodgers and
Hammerstein again, creating the New England costumes for
``Carousel.''
    White received an Academy Award nomination for his work on the
Cecil B. de Mille film ``The Greatest Show on Earth.''
                    *Friedensreich Hundertwasser
    VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian
painter and architect who gained fame for his wavy forms and bright
colors, died Saturday of a heart attack. He was 71.
    Hundertwasser was best known internationally for his unique
architectural designs that relied on curves, primary colors and
ornamental baubles. He called the straight line ``the tool of the
devil'' and avoided its use, even in designing apartment complexes.
    Hundertwasser was born in Vienna in 1928 as Friedrich Stowasser.
He adopted the name Hundertwasser when he was 21, and took the
spiral as his trademark.
    During his career, he advocated environmentalism and was known
for adding rooftop gardens to his architectural designs.
    He was awarded the Austrian State Prize, the country's highest
cultural award, in 1981 and used the publicity to campaign against
nuclear power.
Hamburg (AP) - Bernhard Markwitz, the inventor of waterwings, died Feb
10, two days after undergoing a heart operation in a Hamburg hospital.
He was 79. According to his daughter, his death was "a total surprise".

Markwitz came up with his invention after his then-3-year-old daughter
fell face down in a fish pond and nearly drowned.  In the 1960s he
developed them to their final form, and founded his company, BEMA. At
one time, the company itself nearly went under, and was saved by
Markwitz winning the lottery.

* Donald 'Tee' Carson; Jazz Pianist Replaced Basie

     Donald Tecumseh "Tee" Carson, 70, a jazz pianist who replaced Count
Basie on piano in Basie's legendary big band after his death in 1984. A
native of Washington, D.C., Carson performed with some of the most
renowned bands and singers of the last century. Besides fronting his own
trio for decades, Carson accompanied such notable vocalists as Ella
Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Pearl Bailey and
Tony Bennett from the 1950s to the 1970s. Basie, who often played
laconic counterpoint to his band's sharp and spirited brass section, saw
Carson as a suitable disciple and handpicked him as a fill-in pianist as
his health declined in the late 1970s. In 1987, Carson's last year with
the Basie outfit, Nat Hentoff wrote in the Wall Street Journal that
Carson "comes very close to approximating the catalytic Basie touch."
While working as a jazz pianist at night, Carson held a day job with the
Justice Department as a U.S. marshal. Carson moved to San Francisco
after his retirement from the Justice Department and hosted radio jazz
programs there. On Feb. 13 of lung cancer at his home in Cedar Park,
Texas.

1954. Other successes in the '50s included "Boom Boom Boomerang," "Too Late
Now," "Snowbound for Christmas," "Give Me Time" and "Cowboys Don't Cry."
Marino joined the act in the 1960s as an occasional substitute, but later
permanently replaced Babette DeCastro when the latter married and retired.
Marino joined Peggy and Cherie DeCastro on the comeback trail in the late
1980s in Las Vegas. The trio recently performed at the Hollywood Roosevelt's
Cinegrill and toured last year with Buddy Greco and Gloria DeHaven. The
DeCastro Sisters were mentioned this month on HBO's hit series "The
Sopranos" as the favorite singers of the Soprano matriarch, Livia, played by
Nancy Marchand. On Monday after an asthma attack at her Las Vegas home.

a country guitarist from the 1940s to the 1970s, died Saturday (2/19)
from cancer in Louisville, KY.  He was 71.
