"Terry" Gilkyson III,Irene Heskes,Christine Mason,Jim Moran,Pierre Moulin, Hamilton H. Gilkyson III AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Singer-songwriter Hamilton H. "Terry" Gilkyson III, who wrote an eclectic range of music spanning folk to calypso to Disney animation, died Friday. He was 83. Gilkyson's 1968 song, "The Bare Necessities," for Disney's "Jungle Book," was nominated for an Academy Award. During the 1960s, he wrote a song a week for "The Wonderful World of Disney" television show and later wrote theme songs for Disney movies including "The Swiss Family Robinson," "Thomasina" and "The Aristocats." Gilkyson songs were recorded by Johnny Cash, Tony Bennett, The Kingston Trio, Mitch Miller, Spike Jones, Marlene Dietrich, Doris Day, Harry Connick Jr. and Louis Armstrong. He also co-wrote with his group, Terry Gilkyson and the Easy Riders, such classics as "Everybody Loves Saturday Night," "Marianne," "The Sea is Green" and "Memories are Made of This," the hit recorded by Dean Martin. "Greenfield," recorded by The Brothers Four, was a Top 10 hit in 1960. Born in Mont Clare, Pa., Gilkyson served in the Army Air Corps during World War II and broadcast for Armed Forces Radio as a folk singer. After the war, Gilkyson moved to Los Angeles to pursue a songwriting career. His first hit was the 1950 "Cry of the Wild Goose," recorded by Frankie Laine. He recorded five albums with the Easy Riders. Irene Heskes see:http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-i-heskes.html NEW YORK (AP) – Irene Heskes, a historian and author who specialized in Jewish music died Thursday of aplastic anemia. She was 76. Ms. Heskes worked as a researcher, writer and lecturer for the Theodor Herzl Institute of the Jewish Agency from 1964 to 1976. She also was the director of the National Jewish Music Council from 1968 to 1980 and was a consultant to the American Jewish Historical Society and to libraries and academic institutions. In 1980, she founded the American Yiddish Theater Music Restoration and Revival Project, which assembled, catalogued and microfilmed a comprehensive collection of Yiddish theater music. The collection is now available for study at the Library of Congress. Christine Mason BALTIMORE (AP) – Christine Mason, a hairstylist whose behemoth beehives and other outrageous coiffeurs were comic highlights in five of Baltimore director John Waters' most popular films, died Sunday of cervical cancer. She was 49. Her best-known works were those she created as hairstylist and wigmaker for a series of Waters' films, including "Female Trouble," "Desperate Living," "Polyester," "Cry Baby" and "Hairspray." Among the performers for whom Mason created hairstyles were the late Divine, a female impersonator who starred in Waters' early films, Ricki Lake, Deborah Harry and Patricia Hearst. Jim Moran NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Jim Moran, known for outrageous publicity stunts in the 1940s and '50s to promote products, Hollywood films – and himself – died Monday, He was 91. Sell an icebox to an Eskimo? Moran traveled to Alaska and did just that, at the behest of a refrigerator company. Change horses in midstream? Moran performed the feat during the 1944 presidential election, in the Truckee River at Reno, Nev. To bring attention to a property for sale, Moran spent 10 days finding a needle in a haystack. "He was maybe the last of the great, flamboyant press agents," said Bob Thomas, who has covered Hollywood for the past 55 years for The Associated Press. "He loved publicity himself, as well as making it." Before entering the publicity business, Moran had been an airline executive in Washington, D.C., and operated a studio where congressmen recorded speeches for their local radio stations. Pierre Moulin see:http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-moulin.html NEW YORK (AP) – Pierre Moulin, who with his business partner, Pierre LeVec, created the Pierre Deux fabric shops and the mix of colorful cotton, glazed tile and antique armoires known as the Pierre Deux look, died Sunday of prostate cancer. He was 73. Moulin's father owned a rug factory and his grandmother was friends with designer Coco Chanel. In 1949, he met LeVec. Later, when LeVec worked in Washington, Moulin set up a farm in Winchester, Va., where he raised 25,000 broiling chickens – and won prizes for doing so. In 1970, Moulin had some pillows made from decorated French peasant fabrics and scattered them around their upholstered furniture. The partners began importing the fabric and customers came in droves. Before long, there were 22 Pierre Deux shops around the world. The men retired in 1989, selling all but one of the shops. LeVec died a year and a half ago. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 07:28:54 -0700 (PDT) From: chuck Subject: (exotica) The Big TNT Show Bo Diddley and especially the three girls with him were truly as you say "farging monumental".

It was amazing seeing her sitting next to Phil Spector who was actually playing the piano. Pet Clark always seems to have a bit of now sound even on her pop hits. I did not see the MFQ in the body of the film. I know the T.A.M.I. Show had different versions with some of the acts cut out. I saw the TNT Show a long time ago and can't remember the MFQ in it back then either.

It's funny that you'd see "now sound" and "pop" as any kind of potential contradiction. This reminds me how inexact a term "Now Sound" is, especially when used by me. I use it as an umbrella term to describe virtually any instrumental cover of a sixties pop or rock hit. But I think it has a more specific meaning, having more to do with arrangement and instrumentation and sound and less to do with the songs that are covered. And in that context, I consider Petula Clark to be absolutely "Now" sounding. And Tony Hatch, the composer of at least one of her biggest hits, virtually defines the sound on his "solo" LP's. Just as DAVID McCallum - not Ian - does on his LP's. It's basically big band music with a rock beat and a bit of extra guitar and/or organ. And there's always a certain brightness... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 18:38:25 +0200 From: Maurizio Mansueti Subject: (exotica) Il Giaguaro - The New Editorial Entertainment Magazine from Italy! Il Giaguaro Editorial Entertainment Magazine Il Giaguaro is a periodical publication with a quarterly deadline, composed of a minimum of 56 color pages, with a centerfold poster and an audio or video bonus included in each issue. The cover-price is 15,000 Italian lire. Il Giaguaro's topics are various: art, fashion, music, cinema, photography, comics, theatre, design, motors, etc. A magazine made to truly divulge and entertain at the same time. But the peculiarity of Il Giaguaro lies in the fact that, out of the various arts, what is taken into consideration is all that which was truly revolutionary and avant-garde. In particular, everything which emerged from the two most productive decades of the twentieth century, the 60's and 70's. Inside, we will once again be able to read Michael Pergolani's interviews with Cassius Clay, when he was still the undisputed king of the ring, with Francis Bacon at the peak of his artistic enthusiasm, but also Lewis Coates's interviews with Roger Corman, when he had just finished shooting Wild Angels with Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra. Il Giaguaro will reprint the first Italian horror comics, by Alfredo Castelli (who is now the scriptwriter for Martin Mystere), we will speak of TV serials produced by RAI between the end of the 60's and the 70's, such as Il Segno del Comando, Ritratto di Donna Velata, A.. come Andromeda, Dr. Jekyll by Giorgio Albertazzi, etc. We will publish interviews with Ugo Pagliai and other stars of this stimulating television season. We will hear the words of film-music authors such as Trovajoli, Piccioni, Umiliani and Alessandroni, who will introduce us themselves to the magic world of the "made in Italy soundtrack", which, nowadays, is going through a second period of youth. The centerfold poster is dedicated to the history of erotic photography. There will be room for the photographers who, through their shots, decidedly accelerated the emancipation process of the sexual customs of the Italians. The most prestigious motors, the most luxurious automobiles, the fastest ones, the various models and their perforinances, will all be covered in a section especially dedicated to this issue. "Metti una sera a cena con...": in this section, the chef of Il Giaguaro will give us a taste of ecstasy with recipes and fiavors inspired by various movie sets, where cuisine, especially in Italian cinema, is ever-present. Plus, record and film reviews. Ample space will be dedicated to Italian cinema, from Fellini to Mario Bava, with articles, interviews and never seen before photographs of the main characters. Il Giaguaro is a magazine which looks back, but with an eye on the present-day, through a historical recovery filled with irony and passion for the themes being covered. The revival can be made with good taste and depth. .... may Il Giaguaro be with you.... IT'S OUT NOW! (Inside "Il Giaguaro n=B0 0" an EP with some unreleased tracks of Ennio Morricone and an interview with Byron Werner about the origin of Space Age Bachelor Pad Music.)

I could make a phone call and get you the exact info but I'm lazy. There IS a new soundtrack out by Scott. I don't remember if it's all instrumental or if he sings on a track.

You should also try an get one that says 'regulated' which should keep a more constant voltage (still only 5pounds or so). The problem with some companies is that they try and use a unique plug, forcing you to buy the power supply from them too. If you can find a plug that fits then you're fine. There's nothing special otherwise about the power supply. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 14:44:10 -0500 From: "Brian Karasick" Subject: (exotica) Re: Indian Summer Moritz wrote: > > > While travelling with Katja in Canada and New England, exotic creatures > > > had escaped from a pack of Indian black rice in our Munich home and > > > taken over the kitchen. > > No sign of any here...

Now with Halloween approaching, the programmers are really cutting loose the gates on Halloweeny movies. I'm not even going to try condensing it for on-list consumption. If you're interested, just go here, okay? http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/tvscavenger.html A couple of items of particular interest... Sunday night, TCM is showing the full eight hour "Les Vampires" -- a 1915 French serial. From the little bit I can gather, it's not actually about vampires, but rather a femme fatale-led gang of high-tech jewel thieves. Supposedly pretty cool and full of street location footage. Monday night, TCM goes nuts with everything from "Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari" (1919) to Polanski's "The Fearless Vampire Killers" (1967). Bela's "White Zombie" (1932) too -- great atmosphere in that. Don't miss the mill scene - -- talk about food impurities! Same night, AMC has "Mad Monster Party" (1967), a Rankin & Bass animated puppet thing. It's kind of like a kiddie monster record cover come to life. A little juvenile, but fun. MAD magazine founder, Harvey Kurtzman, was involved and one can see his hand here and there, like in the design of some of the characters (especially the cute babe character). And there's plenty of non Halloweeny material, like another showing of "Little Fugitive" (you haven't seen it yet? after Basic Hip gave you the woid?) and...

As to Joan Baez, well giver her credit for taking a shot at "Lovin' Feeling"; her take on "There But for Fortune" gave me chills (she's an underated fingerstyle guitarist, too). Is it just the way my mind works (from the gutter) or was that whole "Lovin' Feeling" production staged by Mr. Spector in hopes of getting in Joan's pants? Sitting next to her on the piano bench...and he hardly ever took his eyes off her... >but Bo Diddley was farging monumental! Truly awesome! And the matching free-form Gretsch guitars didn't hurt either... And what a tight band the Spoonful were! I'll watch it again.

Bernie Green also brought us Futura (one of the best from the stereo action series). Musically Mad is also very good. He has one other essential LP called Bernie Green Plays More Than You Can Stand in Hi-Fi. Musically Mad reminds me a bit of Spike Jones murdering the classics at time, but not nearly as obnoxious.

Duuuh, and that would be street location footage of 1915 Paris. That being the point of saying it in the first place.

I have experimented with all different brands, colors, etc. of blank CDs and they all seem to perform the same on my equipment. Can some of the list members post their opinions/experiences using different brands and "colors" of blank CDs? BTW, I am working on a killer CD which will have the original cuts from the Tiki Room and Jungle Cruise. Totally exciting.

In the TNT Show the Ronettes were bee-hived-to-heaven gorgeous and danced up a storm to "Shout," thought I saw Phil himself sitting at the piano for a bit, Joan Baez utterly massacred "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling"(the horror...the horror), and Bo Diddley as always rocked, no 4-cornered guitar but three girl singers, one playing rockin rhythm gee-tar!! Throw in the Raelettes(with Ray) and the Ikettes(with Ike & Tina) and quite a show. The occasional orchestra "conducting" by David McCallum(aka Illya Kuryakin) made Lawrence Welk look like Toscaninini, but David was probably just pushing one of his cash-in instrumental LP's for the teenyboppers that had his photo on the cover and little else. Now where the hell is the full version of the TAMI show with THE classic good-footin cape-flinging James Brown, the Miracles dancing a wild monkey, hitch-hikin' Marvin, Lesley Gore and the Stones with Brian? AMC repeats everything. "Don't Knock the Twist" was a pleasant surprise a few weeks back, lots of old farts like me and kids dancing to surprisingly decent twist music. The hep cats that hung out with Chubby Checker were calling him "Chub." Soon AMC will repeat the lame "Beach Ball" with the Supremes singing Motown surf music and Scott Walker batting his eyelashes. The insanely curious should tape and fast forward.
