*Lily Simha Hood
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- French Quarter pianist and chanteuse Lily
Simha Hood, whose fans included Tennessee Williams, died March 24
of kidney failure.
She was cagey about revealing her age, and her husband asked
that the secret remain with her death.
Her musical career began on a whim. After dinner one night in
1976, the Hoods and a friend stopped at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop,
a Bourbon Street bar across from their house. Mrs. Hood played a
few tunes on the piano for her friend and was hired on the spot,
even though she wasn't looking for a job.
Soon, ``Miss Lily'' had a crowd of regulars including Tennessee
Williams, who would bring in a songbook for her to sing from.
Mrs. Hood never formally studied the piano and never learned to
read music. She was self-taught and learned by listening. She
performed at Lafitte's for 16 years, but health problems ended her
career about seven years ago.

COMEDIAN STU ALLEN, 73; KNEW HOW TO WORK CROWD
By Tom McCann
Chicago Tribune Staff Writer
March 30, 2000
During the flashy heyday of Chicago's nightclub circuit, comedian Stu
Allen was a master at working the crowd, whether it was one of his many
packed houses or--the true test of a funnyman--the occasional empty
room.
"It's truly fun . . . to watch an old pro of a comedian walk out into a
big room with seats for several hundred, find only three tables of
patrons at ringside, and go to work to churn up the laughs," wrote
Tribune critic Will Leonard after catching one of his shows in 1975.
"Stu Allen was absolutely brilliant. Before long, the camaraderie was as
high as an elephant's eye, and the friendly warmth in the room was
infectious."
Mr. Allen, 73, whose real name was Sanford Tabak, died of heart failure
on Monday, March 27, in Holy Family Medical Center in Des Plaines.
During a Chicago stand-up career that lasted more than 50 years, Mr.
Allen of Palatine performed regularly in the '50s and '60s at venues
like the Playboy Club and the plush showroom of Mr. Kelly's on Rush
Street, legendary for its stage acts.
In the 1970s, he partnered with fellow comedian Sonny Mars to roast
Chicago celebrities like Mayor Richard J. Daley, Mike Ditka and Walter
Payton as well as comic icons Bob Hope and Milton Berle.
"But I always thought my dad was much funnier than those guys," said his
daughter, Stephanie. "And he never stopped being funny. He even had the
nurses in the hospital cracking up. His act was a bit like Don Rickles,
but more kindhearted."
With cigarette in hand, a ring on his pinkie and a classy tux, Mr. Allen
took his Vegas-style act to theaters and cruise ships, even strip
clubs--any place that needed him to warm up the crowd. But originally he
wanted to be a musician and an actor.
Born in Cleveland, Mr. Allen grew up idolizing band leader Glenn Miller,
and he quickly learned how to play the drums. After attempts to launch a
music career stalled, he decided to pursue acting and traveled to
Hollywood to meet a producer friend of his father.
"When my dad got there, they really liked him," his daughter said. "But
they told him they just signed another `Hungarian-Jewish kid' that week
that looked just like him. It turned out to be Tony Curtis, the guy who
took dad's acting career."
Mr. Allen continuously thought up events to raise money for charity. For
many years, he performed Christmas shows for orphans, canvassing the
city's toy stores for donations and having his family help wrap the
presents.
Other survivors include a son, Peter; a brother, Allen; and a grandson.

Wow. And in my favorite futon store, no less. :)
It's high time we had some exotica activities in Chicago.
I'll have to bring my camera and report on the
proceedings!

But was their work influenced by the drug taking of others? So books,
art, films, music etc that were made by drug users influenced the work
of non-drug users? I suppose ultimately it's a chicken-and-egg
situation, on whether the ideas for surreal images came from the effects
of drugs on the imagination, or whether surreal images made by non-drug
users fitted with the drug takers' ideas of what getting high should be
like and so became associated with psychedelia.

Subject: (exotica) Led Zeppelin & Exotica
I don't know what it says about a band when they've reached the stage LZ has...there's a 'Symphonic Led Zeppelin' cd out featuring the London Symphony Orchestra. I expected it to be awful, but it was really very good. There's another classical take on LZ, 'The String Quartet Plays Led Zeppelin'. I have no idea who The String Quartet is! Any takers on when a 'Symphonic Sergio Mendes' (or 'Symphonic fill-in-the-blank') cd comes out?
