Subject: (exotica) [obit] Mackay Yanagisawa,

HONOLULU (AP) - A private funeral service for pioneering sports promoter Mackay
Yanagisawa was held Wednesday.

Yanagisawa, whose list of accomplishments included founding the Hula Bowl and
the Aloha Bowl college football games, died recently at the age of 87 following
a long illness. His family asked that no information be released.

He began his career in 1935 as a salesman for a sporting goods company,
Yanagisawa was manager of the old Honolulu Stadium and later Aloha Stadium.

Yanagisawa, who also managed several Hawaii baseball leagues, sold the Hula
Bowl in 1974 to Gannett Corp. The game was later given to the University of
Hawaii Foundation.

``The modern marketing people in sports in Hawaii owe a lot to Mackay
Yanagisawa because he was a visionary and he was an entrepreneur,'' said
broadcaster Don Robbs, who worked on Yanagisawa's staff in the 1970s.

Ellery Chun, 91, Popularizer of the Shirt
That Won Hawaii
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Ellery J. Chun, who might not have exactly invented the Hawaiian
shirt but who surely gave it a powerful push toward prominence,
died in Honolulu on May 16. He was 91.

Once there were no shirts in Hawaii, much less pink ones with ukuleles,
but shocked missionaries hastened to introduce a plain, solid-color work
shirt called a palaka to men. Women got long, shapeless dresses called
muumuus. These early garments were made of native tapa, or bark cloth.
Soon patterns were added.

As American tourists began to arrive on cruise ships in the 1920's, small
tailor shops began making custom prints on the shirts for the visitors.
Hawaiians, in turn, started using them for weddings and other special
occasions.

Enter Mr. Chun, a native Hawaiian who graduated from Yale as an
economics major in 1931. He turned a Chinese dry goods shop,
King-Smith Clothiers at 36 North King Street, into the first mass
producer of Hawaiian shirts. Most important, he gave them the name by
which they are called on the Hawaiian Islands, aloha shirts.
His wife, Mildred, said the shirts were a way to keep his clothing
business going during the Depression. She told The Honolulu
Star-Bulletin that he started with a few dozen bright printed Hawaiian
patterns with palm trees, hula girls and pineapples. She said his tailor
sewed three or four dozen at a time.

By 1933, he was producing ready-to-wear models from cloth imported
from the United States mainland, Japan and Tahiti. Surfers and beach
boys snapped them up, and before long the shirts had become symbolic
of easy, casual masculinity. To be sure, the cheap imitations, particularly
those featuring pink flamingos, became gaudy badges for tourists.
Aiming higher, marketers let it be known that each color on the more
expensive styles carried ancient significance: Yellow meant victor, red
valor and white holiness. Montgomery Clift wore the Diamond Head
pattern in "From Here to Eternity"; Elvis Presley wore the Blue Hawaii
pattern in the 1963 move of the same name, and Tom Selleck's Bird
Airbrush shirt from his "Magnum P.I." television series ended up in the
Smithsonian Institution.

Frank Sinatra, Arthur Godfrey and Bing Crosby wore aloha shirts.
Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower equated them
with weekends.

In Hawaii, at least on Fridays, the shirts became acceptable as business
garb. And the older shirts became collector's items. The most expensive
command prices of up to $5,000. In 1997, the Honolulu Academy of the
Arts mounted an exhibition of the most iconic aloha shirts.

To Mr. Chun, the shirts were good business. His store embellished its
easygoing reputation by sponsoring a radio talent show in the late 1930's,
which originated from the stretch of Waikiki Beach fronting the Moana
Hotel.

In 1945, Mr. Chun became a director of American Security Bank. He
closed his clothing outlet and remained with the bank until retiring in
1966. In 1991, the Hawaii Senate honored him for his shirt-making
achievement.

In addition to his wife, Mildred, he is survived by two daughters, Colleen
Hirano and Christine Chung; a son, Damon; a sister, Wai-Chee Yee; and
four grandchildren.
"It turned out well," his wife said.

An album called 'Conga Heaven, Bongo Hell!' on Tummy Touch - that is, if
you can find it. It seems to be sold out everywhere here in London. A
12" has just been released but don't know if it's a track off the album
or not. One of the two members also releases stuff under the name Sonny
Face. Most of the releases on Tummy Touch are good, particularly the Tim
'Love' Lee lp.

If you just like simple clear solid plastic fremae (I do) order them from

the new 12" has 2 songs from the CD. The CD had 4 more tracks than the
vinyl version, but now all 4 of those tracks are available on 2 12"'ers.

The Sunny Face album is fantastic, but even harder to find. I was looking
for a copy for JimmyB in London last week, and it too is sold out
everywhere. It's actually a Danish record, so one might have to go to
Copenhagen.

There's a recent Tummy Touch 'greatest hits' album out, "Un-Touchable :
Tummy Touch Collectibles" (TOUCHO32CD) which is a very nice collection.

Stephen asked:

I'd be interested in hearing any replies too, so please reply to the list or
CC me.

I've done this a couple of ways so far.  I have used a Dual 1218 turntable
and a Newcomb Audio classroom portable.  On the latter, the needle flips from
LP /45 to 78.  The Newcomb is much less sensitive to surface noise, it's
almost like a built in noise reduction system.

When I play a 78 on the Dual, it uses the same needle as on the LP's.  I
adjust the anti-skate and counter weight for 78's, adding weight.  I'm just
going on what I heard from a couple of people, for the most part, I have no
clue as to what i'm doing with these adjustments.

Regarding your computer software, I've heard that 78's may actually sound
better sampled at 22,050 rather than 44,100.  I've not tried this yet.  Then
the matter of noise reduction comes into play.  Seems to be a matter of
personal taste as to how much of the ever-present 78 sizzle to remove.

78's are great.  When I finally got around to getting the equipment to play
them, my musical horizons widened tremendously.

Keep me posted on your progress, Stephen!

They type of needle used to play a 78 is different depending upon when the 78
was made.  The early 78s which were made to play on hand cranked all
mechanical machines used a larger needle than the later 78s made to be played
on electric record players.  I am sure you can find out exactly what to you
use on the net are there are several sites devoted to vintage phonographs.

I had a buddy who ran a store for several years selling/repairing/refinishing
old victorolas.  It is a giant hobby with many enthusiaists all in itself.  I
would ask him but he has gone out of that business and moved elsewhere.

I got mine through CDNow - I believe Other Music also carries it.  And
Rough Trade may also have it, although they would be way more expensive
to order from.  I haven't found the Sunny Face, however.

While supplies last they are offering a "swanky 16-piece cocktail coaster set" for  $3. The artwork for the series is pretty cool. Look forward to getting my coasters soon!

Mr. Bungle is a side project of one of the singer from Faith No More but I
may be mistaken.  I don't think it is an officialrelease.

Yeah, look, let me make this clear.  This has nothing to do with fancy
sniping software.  THis is how eBay works.  If you bid less than me, I take
it for one dollar more than you bid.  It's that simple.  No software
necessary.

Yeah, you bid $100 and beat me by 10 bucks, YOU take it.  Again, there's no
software necessary.  eBay will handle it all for you.  All bidding software
does is *hide* your intent to bid and your max amount bid until the last
minute.  This is good because most people think they are at a real auction
and only bid enough to overtake the max bid.  The software keeps your true
max bid hidden until those people aren't looking anymore, then pops on and
bids your max.  This doesn't mean you automatically beat someone out.  Only
if the max the person you are bidding against has set is under your max.

I don't think this is happening.  More likely, someone else stuck a bid in
at the last moment and their max bid comes into play and trumps the new bid.
Again, this can only happen if their max is higher, so if you really want it
you have to beat their max, which is of course exactly how auctions work.

THis is how I do it.  I think about how high I can go.  Say, 30 bucks.  Then
I think, okay, if someone takes it for 31 bucks, would I be upset, thinking
I would have spent that extra buck?  What about 32?  When I get to where I
think, no, they can have it for that price, I enter that as my final bid,
plus, say 52 cents, just because of the weird way the eBay server works.

Also, I wait until the last minute or so, because I don't want to give
anyone any time to think, "Oh, golly, this guy is willing to go to $22.
Maybe I should go higher."  I want them to have one shot and one shot only
at entering their max bid.

Anyway, that's the way I play.
No software necessary.

Subject: (exotica) Coffy/Jazz - Apology for my attempt at humor

It's been a few weeks since I posted my hyperbolic response to Peter Risser
saying he enjoyed Slushies over Slush Puppies.  I was only trying to show how
offensive it is to inflict one's opinion on another person.  I did however,
overlook the fact that my attempt at humor, even with it's warning not to
read it, was very strong and might bother some readers as much as, if not
more then, the oppressive posting that Mr. Risser was originally responding
to.  I'm glad some of you found my writing funny, that was it's intention,
but I am sorry if it truly upset anyone.

It took me a while to realize that my attempt at humor may ultimately have
been as offensive, as the behavior I was condemning.

I'll try to be a bit more sophisticated the next time I feel like expressing
my opinion in a humorous manner.

Its OK Roy--don't let the PC Thought Police hold you back. If someone can't
deal with your posting's intent they better take a look within. Any schnook
with a pea-brain knew you weren't serious. I chuckled with ample mirth at
your posting...Jim

This is true enough but there are in fact some people using software for
last second wins.  After becoming suspicious on one auction, I followed one
bidder and collected evidence for well over 20 auctions in a couple of
weeks where he won in the last 5-10 seconds by only topping the high bid
*at that time* (in other words eBay didn't up the bid for him).  Admittedly
he might not be using software but instead spending almost all his time
tracking dozens of eBay auctions....

Here's what made me apologize.

I was walking in a busy shopping mall with my 3 1/2 year old daughter and two
young chaps were walking along in front of us.  They starting in berating
their employers, "My boss is a c***suckin', M.F.in'  C**t" they started
belittling her sexual preferences in graphic detail and just generally
venting their anger over the whole oppressive capitalist system.  The
shopping mall was crowded enough where I couldn't quickly get close enough to
them to tell them to mellow the conversation and I couldn't get away from
them so my daughter and I could avoid the obscenity marathon these 2 guys
were having.

It wasn't their intention to personally offend me, but they did and if I had
asked them to cut it out and they told me to screw myself, I'd have been very
angry.  After I left, I started thinking about Byron being offended by my
post and I kind of knew how he felt so, I posted the apology.  I have other
venues for colorful language and I will use them when the need arises, and
damn it, I can be incredibly funny without having to resort to that filthy
corn shuckin' talk.
