Fess up! Who knows anything or everything there is to know about Orlando's
locality?
Record shops and flea markets in Orlando and nearby towns and cities
appreciated. Bars? Clubs? Monster Truck festivals? What's cool and what's
not in central Florida?
Thanks all,

It was almost worth sitting through 20 hours of stuff to see Duke Ellington
kiss Richard Nixon. Well, I lie about the sitting through part. *Every*

Well, I'm earnest, my wife's maiden name is Guy and my book is much
cheap...I mean, I'm not selling a danged thing...yet.
Here is the other longstanding mystery. On the "Raga" soundtrack, there is
a track called "Frenzy and Distortion". It excerpts two songs that are
certainly not Ravi Shankar's doing (well, at least one isn't).
Please go to ftp://ftp.mindspring.com/users/hagar/incoming and the two
mystery sounds are Raga sound one and Raga sound two. Two is very short,
but who is singing that "Guitar Man" song? I was told that it might be
Henk the Knife and the Jets, but I have my doubts now.
Neither track sounds like Yma Sumac,

Subject: (exotica) [obit] David Heneker
February 2, 2001
David Heneker, Lyricist for Catchy Musical Comedies, Dies at 94
By MEL GUSSOW
David Heneker, who wrote the score for the musical "Half a Sixpence" and collaborated on the English adaptation of the book and lyrics for "Irma la Douce," died on Tuesday in a residential home in Wales. He was 94.
"Irma la Douce" and "Half a Sixpence" were major successes in London and New York, a rare double- header for a British songwriter in the 1950's and 60's. Each ran on Broadway for more than 500 performances.
Mr. Heneker and his collaborators Julian More and Monty Norman found ways to Anglicize the French musical "Irma la Douce" (by Marguerite Monnot and Alexandre Breffort) without losing the original Parisian atmosphere. Under the direction of Peter Brook, the London cast members (Elizabeth Seal, Clive Revill and Keith Michell) turned it into a Broadway hit in 1960. Three years later the show was filmed by Billy Wilder with a cast headed by Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon.
In 1965 "Half a Sixpence" followed the same profitable path from London to Broadway. Based on H. G. Wells's novel "Kipps," the musical introduced Tommy Steele to American theatergoers. Mr. Steele played a draper's assistant who comes into a large inheritance. Strumming a banjo, he sang Mr. Heneker's "Money to Burn," among other sprightly songs. He also starred in the film version.
Although "Irma" and "Half a Sixpence" were Mr. Heneker's only Broadway musicals, he collaborated on many other shows in London, beginning in 1958 with Wolf Mankowitz's "Expresso Bongo," which starred Paul Scofield as a small-time music agent. "Expresso Bongo" became a film in 1960. His other shows included "Jorrocks," "Make Me an Offer," "Charlie Girl" and "The Biograph Girl." Jude Kelly recently directed a revival of "Half a Sixpence" in Leeds.
Mr. Heneker attended Wellington College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. From 1925 to 1948 he was an officer in the British army. Just before World War II, while recovering from a riding accident, he read Noδl Coward's "Bittersweet," and, he said, that inspired him to write songs.
After leaving the army, he sang and played the piano in London clubs. As his songs were published and recorded, he was soon swept into a successful musical career. He always preferred to consider himself a songwriter, rather than a composer, a word he considered pretentious.
He is survived by a son, Peter, of Cardigan, Wales; five grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.

FYI, I was reasonably self-amused with the installment of my "Beyondo
Record Party" radio show that I pre-recorded to air this Sunday night. If
you'd like to check it out, there's no better time than this Sunday, and,

area, you can hear it at 91.3 FM from 11:00-midnight EST. Everybody else,
if you can handle streaming audio media, you can hear it simulcast on the
Net at www.wapsfm.com

I like everything I've heard. Her "Sacred Rites" CD has tracks from "Realm
of the Inca" and "Rites of the Pagan," and is very enjoyable. I also have a
beat up copy of her "Matacuda" LP which has a similar sound to the other
LPs.

Subject: (exotica) [obit] Judy Davis
Judy Davis of Oakland -- Vocal Coach to Stars=20
Jesse Hamlin
Wednesday, January 31, 2001=20
=A92001 San Francisco Chronicle=20
Oakland -- Judy Davis, a legendary vocal coach whose students included
Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Mary Martin, Grace Slick,
Eddie Money and many other noted and lesser-known singers, died of heart
failure Friday at her Oakland home. She was 81.=20
An expert in the physiology of vocal sound projection, Ms. Davis was famous
for teaching singers how to breathe properly, enunciate and strengthen their
vocal cords in order to project freely and control the sound. She devised a
series of vocal exercises that are used by singers around the world.=20
"Actually, I'm just a vocal plumber," Ms. Davis told The Chronicle in 1995,
when she received a lifetime achievement award at the Bammies. "I fix=
pipes."=20
Over the decades, scores of vocalists called on Ms. Davis to help repair
their strained pipes and unlock their voices.=20
In the early 1950s, Sinatra flew Ms. Davis to Las Vegas to help solve his
vocal problems, and he asked for her help again in the 1970s. In the early
1960s, when Streisand was having vocal difficulties while singing at San
Francisco's hungry i, she turned to Ms. Davis, who coached her in the
Oakland studio where she continued to teach until just two weeks ago.=20
"She taught me great breath control, the placement of vowels, how to produce
notes," said rock singer Money, who began studying with Ms. Davis in the
early 1970s. "She taught you how to hit notes you couldn't hit before. She
expected a lot from her students, and the last thing you wanted to do was
let this lady down. She was beautiful. I valued her artistic knowledge."=20
Country Joe McDonald said: "Judy Davis was an expert in telling you how to
control the sounds coming from your mouth. She talked like Auntie Mame.
She'd say, 'Well my dear, I must tell you, this is exactly what you're doing
wrong. We're going to have to rearrange some of these things, break this
habit.' She allowed us to present the sound we want you to hear."=20
Ms. Davis, who was born in Red Bluff and raised in Oakland, studied music
and dancing privately, and earned bachelor's and master's degree in music
from the University of California at Berkeley.=20
In the late 1930s, she worked in Hollywood as an assistant choreographer at
Warner Brothers, working on movie musicals with the first of her three
husbands, choreographer Hal Davis. She also taught actresses how to
lip-synch to movie soundtracks. Ms. Davis changed her first name after Hoagy
Carmichael told her she looked more like a Judy than an Adelaide, which was
her given name.=20
In the 1940s, the Davises moved to Oakland and opened a dance studio.
Although she was to become a renowned vocal coach, Ms. Davis never sang
professionally herself. When she was 19, her vocal cords were damaged during
a tonsillectomy, leaving her with a raspy voice.=20
Eager to learn about her vocal cords, she studied Gray's Anatomy and delved
deeply into the physiology of voice production. That led to the creation of
her teaching method.=20
"Judy could give you confidence, make you feel like there was nothing you
couldn't sing," says San Francisco jazz singer Pat Yankee, a close friend.
Yankee originally took tap dancing lessons from Ms. Davis. Yankee started
studying voice with Ms. Davis in 1965 and continued going to her for the
next 35 years. Like most of Ms. Davis' students, she still sings her
exercises every day.=20
Ms. Davis was married for many years to tennis pro Frank Kovacs, who died in
1990. She is survived by a son, Mark Van Hayden of Seattle, and a
granddaughter.=20
A memorial celebration will be held at 4 p.m. on Feb. 18 in Saroyan Hall at
the Armenian Community Center, 825 Brotherhood Way in San Francisco. Eddie
Money and Booker T. Jones, another Davis student, will be among those
performing. The family requests contributions in Ms. Davis' name to any
charity.=20
