Hi Michael,
Brother Theodore is alive but not well and is no longer performing.
A while back there was a post with contact info to send him a card while he was recovering from an illness or injury. I'll attempt to search the archives for that post. If I find it I'll forward to you.
Cheers,

Long ago ('97)--someone here sad that Brother Theodore was alive & well & ninety-something
& still performing weekly (Sat. night) somewhere in NYC. Don't know if this is still true but I'd
love to contact him if so. However, they didn't say WHERE he performs. Anyone know? With a
few leads, I think I can find him--thanks. Please email me privately too, if you could, as I often
get swamped & waaaay behind in my emails. Many thanks!

For the latest on Brother Theodore's condition (as of 12/99), go to:
was founded in 1995 by Rocket Matsu, a big fan of Pascal Comelade, when
they played a midnight set in Tokyo. The band, that night, had 7 members
and played only Pascal Comelade. Now with 15, they do their own
compositions as well as Comelade and others.
And as soon as this CD shows up,it will be included in a Space Bop
special on Pascal Comelade, for anyone out there who isn't familiar with
his unique brand of music - probably to air next week or the week after.

on average it seems that a new japanese cd will sell for about 25-30 u.s.
dollars each. and a single for 12-20 u.s. the second hand discs will go
anywhere from 4-20 u.s. i think. assuming it's not rare. i saw certain
original issues by p5 going for 60-90 u.s. dollars i think. but the thing to
remember when talking about these "mythical" japanese collectors is that
these are a minority. most of the japanese i have met can not or would not
pay such prices as have been thrown around on the list. however, it does
seem that everything has some sort of following in japan somewhere. wasn't
it on this list that i read about some american punk rock bands who's
records were re-issued in japan and they made more off that than they ever
made when they were first released? the thing about japan is there seems to
be experts on everything. a friend of mine in germany told me about a box
set of some really obscure local berlin band being released in japan
recently. and he was shocked because even most people he knew in berlin did
not know who this band was. and yet, here it was being re-issued in japan
and selling out if i remember correctly. also there are japanese tv shows
about experts on certain subjects. if you win you become the "king" of a
certain subject. i saw one on comic books where they would name a comic book
and you would have to name the school featured in the comic. or they would
show you the cover of a comic and you would have to name the number and
issue of the latest edition.(one contestant named the issue that was just
hitting the streets as they were taping the show). for the final competition
they had the finalist dress up like certain characters and re-enact a comic
including the lines from what appeared to be from memory. including the
angle of faces.(ie if in the comic it was a profile the people would face
the camera in profile). i also saw a show about the king of amusement parks
where you had to identify theme songs from amusement parks from around the
world as well as speciality foods from various amusement parks. the final
competition dealt with all contestants being on a ride and being asked a
question then they ride the ride and when it's over they have to answer the
question. if they are wrong they have to ride the ride again while the
others go to the next ride for the next step of the race.

No, from the first album then (and probably on the live album as well). He's
due an album out last year (on F-Communications i assume). His stuff is jazz
house, but much, much tougher than St. Germaine, and with a very West

Subject: (exotica) [obits[ Emma Kelly, Norris Turney, Auberon Waugh, Michael Cuccione
Emma Kelly
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Pianist and singer Emma Kelly, the ``Lady of 6,000 Songs'' made famous by the book ``Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,'' died Wednesday from a liver ailment. She was 82.
Kelly's nightclub act, in which she tapped her vast repertoire of American popular standards five nights a week until she became ill a month ago, was a must-see for Savannah tourists itching to meet a real-life character from author John Berendt's Southern Gothic best seller.
Though the book helped her book performances from New York to Switzerland, Kelly continued to crisscross south Georgia to play church socials and high school graduations, Kiwanis luncheons and wedding receptions.
Berendt devoted an entire chapter to Kelly in the 1994 book, describing her as a teetotaling Baptist who would play smoky cocktail lounges Saturday nights and Sunday school classes the next morning.
Kelly performed at her own nightclub, Emma's, in Savannah, for five years in the late 1980s. She then bounced between lounges near the downtown riverfront. She also independently recorded three albums, the last of which will be released posthumously, her son said.
Norris Turney
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Jazz musician, composer and conductor Norris Turney, who played alto sax and flute with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and led the Norris Turney Quartet, died Wednesday of kidney failure. He was 79.
Turney recorded with a number of bands over the years, and toured with Billy Eckstine, Ray Charles and others. He was an original member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra directed by Wynton Marsalis.
Turney's lone CD as a band leader, ``Big, Sweet 'N Blue,'' was warmly received by jazz critics.
Auberon Waugh
LONDON (AP) -- Auberon Waugh, a writer and satirist who posed as a friend to the smoker, the drinking driver and the rhyming poet, died Tuesday. He was 61.
Waugh, who had a history of heart ailments, died in his sleep, his wife, Lady Teresa Waugh, said Wednesday.
Waugh, the second of seven children of novelist Evelyn Waugh, was a longtime contributor to Private Eye magazine, founded the Literary Review and had been a columnist for The Daily Telegraph.
At the Literary Review, he championed conventional, rhyming poetry and established the annual Bad Sex Award, highlighting what were regarded as particularly egregious examples of literary sex scenes.
Waugh published the first of four novels, ``The Foxglove Saga,'' in 1960, and critics tended to compare it unfavorably with his father's work.
He became better known as a journalist, including his stint writing a diary for the satirical Private Eye.
Michael Cuccione
NEW YORK (AP) -- Michael Cuccione, the youngest member of the MTV mock boy band 2gether, died Saturday from complications from Hodgkin's disease. He was 16.
The teen played Jason ``Q.T.'' McKnight on the MTV show ''2gether,'' which poked fun at the boy-band craze. His character had a fictional illness, ``biliary thrombosis,'' but Cuccione actually suffered from Hodgkin's disease as a child and underwent five months of chemotherapy.
Cuccione's uncle said the cancer had not returned in five years, but past treatments had impaired his breathing. A problem with his diaphragm developed and he was forced to tape episodes of ''2gether'' while carrying a portable oxygen machine.
The singer-actor set up a cancer research foundation, co-wrote a book with his grandmother and appeared on ``Baywatch'' as a cancer victim.
