That was written by list member Brother Cleve.. I asked him about it, but
he'll probably weigh in because his route to this story was rather
circuitous...JB/hope it hasn't already been posted, I've been flat out for 3

I have to confess that I have felt the urge to buy copies of things I
already have as well. I almost always check to see if the condition is
better than what I have, which is rational, but sometimes it's just that I
hate to see a good album remain in the bins. I bought a second copy of Sir
Julian's Love Is Blue for a dollar when my first copy had cost me fifteen
(in a kind of bizarre rationalization that that way I had paid $8.00 for
each--not that I needed two anyway). Speaking of Mancini, in a two-day
period I managed to find Living Stereo versions of More Music from Peter
Gunn, Mr. Lucky, and The Mancini Touch to replace the mono versions I had.
There's tons of Mancini out there, but he's still probably my favorite.

This really is sad.
There finally was a station that played music I wanted to listen to and =

stories or postings from people I know, Luxuria had a local feel. Thank =
you to all involved.
I will sincerely miss it.

Moe Koffman, Canadian Musician Who Applied Flute to Jazz, Dies at 72
ORONTO, April 2 (Reuters) ù Moe Koffman, a celebrated Canadian jazz musician best known for his breezy 1957 flute hit, "Swinging Shepherd Blues," died on Wednesday. He was 72.
The cause was cancer, his publicist said.
Mr. Koffman, a flutist and saxophonist, was one of Canada's jazz institutions. During a five-decade career, he recorded dozens of albums and performed with many of the genre's greats, including Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Dorsey and Doc Severinsen. His music ranged from cool-toned bop to jazz interpretations of pop and classical material.
Born Morris Koffman in Toronto in 1928, he began playing violin at 9 and alto saxophone, clarinet and flute at 13. He studied theory at the Toronto Conservatory of Music before moving to the United States for further study in the 1940's.
Before the release of his signature "Swinging Shepherd Blues," one of the few flute hits in jazz, Mr. Koffman worked on the road with big bands, including those led by Dorsey and Charlie Barnet.
He returned to Toronto in 1955 and divided his career between his own jazz group and session work. In the mid-1960's he appeared several times as a soloist on NBC's "Tonight" show. He released more than 30 albums, the latest, "The Moe Koffman Project" (Universal) just last year.
Mr. Koffman received the Order of Canada in 1992 in recognition of his outstanding work and service to the arts industry.
He is survived by his wife, Gisele; three sons, Herbie, Larry and Elie; and a stepdaughter, Ilya.

i've decided that this is the year i'm going to buy myself an imac & a
dv camera & start making digital movies. for my first project i thought
i'd make a short film (maximum length 5 min.) for an amateur video
contest that's held in edmonton every march. i'm not sure exactly what
it's going to be about, but i have an idea that it's going to have
something to do with characters who are obsessive thrift shoppers. i see
one character collecting nothing but copies of "whipped cream and other
delights" (to paper a wall, of course). i'm not much of a scriptwriter,
so i'm throwing the authorship open to anyone who wants to contribute.
the deal is: suggest a scene, a line of dialogue, a character, a
situation, an image or whatever & everyone who contributes will be given
a screenwriting credit.
thanks in advance,
mike

Theodore M. McCarty
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) -- Theodore M. ``Ted'' McCarty, a key figure in the development of the electric guitar and former president of Gibson Guitar Co., died Sunday. He was 91.
In his 18 years as president at Gibson, McCarty transformed the Kalamazoo, Mich.-based maker of acoustic musical instruments into the purveyor of guitars to the stars.
The solid-body electric guitar was considered something of a gimmick when McCarty left the Wurlitzer Co. to join Gibson in 1948. He had a degree in commercial engineering and had been an engineering designer for the military during World War II. Despite not being musically inclined, McCarty saw possibilities in the electric guitar.
At Gibson, he helped bring to life the Les Paul series, named for the blues guitarist who endorsed it, the Explorer series, widely used by both rock and country guitarists, and the radical Flying V.
McCarty later bought the Bigsby Co., which manufactures vibratos for guitars. He sold the company and retired in 1999.

Henry Brown, a Chemist Who Made the Metal Shine, Dies at 93
By PAUL LEWIS ,NYTimes
Henry Brown, a chemist who helped make the American Dream a gleaming reality by
finding new ways of keeping chromium plate bright and shiny, died on March 15
at his home in Palo Alto, Calif. He was 93.
In the years just after World War II, Mr. Brown's discoveries made bathroom
fixtures and kitchen utensils silvery and put the gloss on the bumpers of the
finny automotive monsters Detroit turned out in the 1950's and early 60's. But
there had been other earlier and less obvious beneficiaries of his skill at
making dull metals shiny. In the austere war years, he showed the United
States Treasury how to make steel pennies gleam and invented a high-speed
process for brass-plating shell cases so they did not stick in artillery guns.
To prevent chromium plate from losing its shine, said Edwin Hoover, a
metallurgist who worked with him, Dr. Brown used sulfur-bearing organic
compounds, like saccharin, to brighten the underlying layer of nickel plate
placed on the metal before a thin covering of chrome was added.

Hi Exotic Types,
I just sent this message to the LuxuriaMusic mailing list, but if you'll
allow me, I'd like to communicate these sentiments to you all as
well...especially since the members of the Exotica list have been a
PARTICULARLY useful resource and source of help to us!

on sending you some cool stuff by way of thanks..hang in there!)
You can reach me personally at rkriviera@earthlink.net

Ladies and gentlemen,
It is my sad duty to inform you all that as of April 14, LuxuriaMusic will
cease to exist.
In the past year it has been our honor and privilege to Share the WUV with
you,
the people. We were thrilled to have had the opportunity to meet many of our
artistic inspirations; and to have had the chance to discover new music and
experiences, and to share them with you.
Most especially, it has been our great pleasure to have made the
acquaintance
of the beautiful people who make up the LuxuriaMusic community; because you
have been the living heart of the experiment that was Luxuria.
We are looking into moving LuxuriaMusic to another host, or keeping the
concept
alive in some other form.
Please address any suggestions, comments, greetings or large credit card
payments to: LuxuriaMusic@aol.com
All that remains to be said is that we would like to express our very
sincere
thanks for your support, encouragement and love.

I have to say that I signed on the first day Luxuria Music came on. It was
the best thing that had happened in my musical life in the last couple of
years.
It was a great outlet for fantastic tunes, great friendship and simple
understanding of the love of this type of music.
I wish nothing but the best of luck to the fine folks of LM in the aftermath
of this sad event.
Balmy regards,

Hi Brian or any exoticat
Who does this song? What kind of music is it? I might want to
include this in our next Mardis Gras march. In Mondo Kayo, our
Carnival club, we play a song called "Congo Man" by the Mighty
Sparrow. The words are:
He cooked one up
He eat one raw
It taste so good
He Holler more....more more more more MORE
I envy the Congo Man
I wish I was he I want to shake his hand
He eat until his stomach upset
but I never eat white meat yet
Easy listening in the Big Easy
