I am sorry I can't help. I'm really not a connoisseur of Italian
soundtrack music, and I could not be able to work up a webpage.
Anyone has ever made a websearch to see if there's already anything
on line?
Gionni, too scared to enquire for his wu-tang name.

Yeah, good point. But a lot of those cases were maybe more about the boys
than the music, at least for the women who didn't really dig into music,
like our list-sisters did. I don't know, maybe more comment from them is
necessary. Actually I was thinking more of the hard rock/heavy metal
strain. But, uh... uncle! I knew this thread was too much for me. I'm just
a simple android... what do I know about gender issues?!?

Thanks, Tiki Bob, for the lovely story

Well, he does use the term Jazz for many on his composures. I know the post
was in jest, but he considers himself one of those fellows who in the early
20th century, helped pioneer the Jazz movement AMONGST THE CLASSICAL
COMPOSURES.
Hope this helps.

Subject: (exotica) chevy to the levy
Hi William!
You've probably accessed the American Pie lyrics page already and discovered their version of this lyric.
Generally speaking, a levy is an earthen bank used to enclose bodies of water or to divert them. They'r essentially small lakes or largish creeks. I think they'r msotly in the southern part of the US, but I could be wrong.
Levys or levees pop up frequently in song lyrics, especially jazz lyrics from the 20s and 30s. The local levee seems to have been the place to party.

My fave though is Horst Jankowski who really rips it up with lead piano

Subject: (exotica) Tower of Power/AWB (kinda long)
It was a night of classic funky sounds as Tower of Power and Average White
Band took to the stage at Boston's Avalon club. AWB opened with a suprisingly
good set with Alan Goorie still singing and playing funky guitar and bass.
The false tenor original had been replaced by a young buck who sounded just
like the original fellow he took the place of. Playing lots of selections
from the "white album", they also dove into their brand new one as well.
Particularly interesting were two songs from "Soul Searching", perhaps their
finest and least commercially noticed LP from '76. The inevitable "Pick Up
The Pieces" included the extended jam and an audience participation segment
that left me feeling jaded, but given that this was their only HUGE hit
(along with the lesser-recognized "Cut The Cake") their overblown
presentation on that particular selection was certainly forgiveable. All in
all a solid B plus. Tower of Power is a horse of a different color. As
mentioned here before, they are indeed the standard-bearers of Classic U.S.
Soul and Funk. Taking--actually seizing--the stage, they quickly reminded the
1000 or so attendees, who hadn't seen them here since 10/93 that they "came
to play" as the title of their 1978 LP says. Alternating between old and new
songs, they showcased a new vocalist whose chops and showmanship are
undeniable, a new keyboardist who played the most jaw-clenching,
neck-snapping solo I have EVEREVER heard on their signature instrumental tune
"Squibb Cakes", and their world-renown horn section who had the audience
dancing en masse as they showcased their funky chops. After playing a
sizzling one hour plus set, they returned to perform the requisite encore:
"You're Still A Young Man" which stunned first time attendees (the ones with
hair still containing color) nearly to tears. All in all a night of soul
redemption...JB/renewing his "Soul Vaccination"

Subject: (exotica) collections & gender
I've been away from my computer this weekend and I'm reading thru the digests that accumulated in my absence. Quite a lot seems to have gone on!
This may be stating the obvious, but since I work in an antique store I thought I'd toss in my observations on what men and women tend to buy. ~~ For the most part, men are interested in 'gadgets' old radios, old phonographs, the slot machine, the old Coca Cola machine. Women tend to go for the decorative and utilitarian items like the Fire King Jadite kitchenware, restored furniture and kitchen cabinetry and the vintage linens. If a woman buys an radio it usually because she likes the way it looks. Whether it is a 1939 Philco tombstone or a 1945 Silvertone is probably not the main consideration. The vintage linen department is an exclusively female department! I've had where women have been pouring thru that area for hours...I've even forgotten they were still in the store! The vintage ktichenware is bought predominantly by women, some items for personal collections and some for actual use. The furniture is a mutual decision but for the most part the man usually ends up saying something like 'if you like it and it fits in, buy it.' Only a few times have I seen a man get really interested the furniture. So, there you have my perspective from behind the sales counter.
One thing about collections and obsessiveness being an almost exclusively male domain...you should talk to a woman who collecting something like Fire King Jadite or, worst yet, pink Depression glass. They need just that _one_ particular piece...but haven't we all been there?

Did these women wear huge incredible robes and did you often have the feeling that you had not noticed these robes when the women had come to the store?

Can I please ask everyone to keep this under their collective hats as
it's not actually been confirmed yet and is still in negotiation.

Yes, they've recorded a version of "Endless Harmony" for this album
(Caroline Now!) which I believe is due out very soon.
