Forwarded the messages to my brother, a piano player who just got two accordions and is exploring the music and the instrument. He's grateful for the info and so am I. Can any exotica/Hawaiian music enthusiasts recommend records that feature slack key guitarists in a group? Am besotted with Gabby Pahanui (sp?). Did he record with any bands under other names or were all his records recorded under his name? Too often Sputnik Era Hawaiian LPs do not name the individual artists--a woeful oversight. Also wanted to say I agree with Jessica's assessment of Ros' "Rhythms of the South." A lackluster record, although the rumba arrangement of "Col.

I therefore have two Hawaiian versions of "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly", along with stuff like "Je T'Aime", "It's Not Unusual", and suchlike popular fare.

And George is one SCARY looking man, too. Hang onto those seeds--My copy came with a wrapper band saying that one free packet of seeds was included with the original kit. There was a yellow instruction booklet which goes into more detail about the kooky theory involved, saying that sound of one particular shrill pitch was found to irritate the stoma cells of plants into staying open longer, so the plant transpires more. The key word here is "irritate"! . . . The music was identified as being by "Corelli-Jacobs" if that means something to anyone--I figured it was just perky library music from somewhere. Does anybody else have a weakness for other quack science records? I have one called the "Spectrum Suite" where some Palo Alto groovoid noodles around making spacey music, which an incomprehensible graph on the back "proves" has a beneficial effect on people's brainwaves. >Tom Glazer and Dottie Evans: Space Songs from Ballads for the Age of >Science--Kids' record that actually came with a libretto.

A lackluster record... I just put a couple more Edmondo records on the recycling pile. One of them is "Arriba" a Phase 4. Of the 20 or so Edmondo's that have passed through here, I've only kept four so far. And even those that survive, do so mostly because of the cover or because I guess I prefer tepid versions of 60's tunes - like "United We Stand" - to tepid versions of older standards. Borderline cases like Edmondo kind of bug me. No matter how many of them I ultimately reject, I can never quite leave them sitting there. And when I play them, they're hard to judge. I never feel completely right about "taking them back" - like I did with "Rhythms of the South" - but I never quite bond with them either. Sometimes I wish I was back at the beginning of this exotica journey where I kept everything because I was so glad to find anything. What's the story with Edmondo anyway? I'm sure people will jump to his defense but he's no Cugat or Prado. I even prefer the Arthur Murray (Noro Morales) cha cha records and a lot of the totally generic ones turn out to be hotter than Edmondo too. I guess maybe Edmondo's not about "hot".

(why did I feel compelled to say that?) Did Jack Narz (host of game shows such as Beat the Clock, Concentration and Dotto) listen to this record? From the liner notes of his LP: "Not only is Narz a good singer, but he plays a great game of golf" > . . .

All right! (last line is cockney for How's your father?). I'm not sure I can take on board Jack's idea of knees up against the bar, since in cockney pubs most people would have sat at a table, or stood at the bar. Knees up is much more likely to do with dancing.

Are you guys kidding? Granted it's sappy and there are some silly parts, but I wouldn't give it a complete thumbs-down. The party scenes are particularly entertaining. Also, I'm more comfortable pairing Audrey with George Peppard than with the distinguished but too-old-for-her Fred Astaire (in "Funny Face"). Really the only problem I have with BAT is the ridicoulous racist portyal (by Mickey Rooney in false teeth etc.) of the upstairs landlord. - -Jordana P.S. One of my favorite parts (even though she's a better actress and muse than a singer) is when Audrey sings "Moon River," and that _isn't_ on the soundtrack.
