I'm looking for an excellent book on how to repair an oboe.  I have a
Signet Soloist that needs a lot of pad and spring work and I've been
very unhappy with the people I've found locally (Fairbanks, Alaska).

In addition, I'm looking for a good supplier of premade oboe reeds.  I
used to buy from 'Reeds by Katrina' who did an excellent job, but I've
lost her address over a few moves.

Additionally, if someone knows of a good source for repair parts for an
oboe (pads, springs, cork, etc) I'd appreciate it.

It affects the note in the current measure, and all similar notes.  In the
example above, if an A3 has an accidental on it at beat 2, then the other
A's have the same accidental from that point to the end of the measure, unless
marked otherwise.

Yes, I guess it is.  But this is not the same as robbing a bank and 
claiming, it's not a crime since I wasn't caught.  If I were to use a 
copyrighted sample in a 'major' release, and didn't get sued, then the most 
probable reason that I wasn't sued was because the sample was not recognised 
as being 'ripped off' from the original source.  An element of illegal 
sampling that has not been touched on yet in this discussion is the aspect 
of unknown XYZ sampling famous person ABC's number 1 (ie. well known) hit.  
If the sample is recognisable as being from ABC's #1 hit, then you 
effectively have a public endorsement of XYZ's record by ABC.  ABC may not 
wish to endorse or otherwise aid XYZ's music (most probably should be read 
as; 'rap music') in this way (or probably not wish to endorse it at all).

The point of this is; if the sample has been mangled to make it 
unrecognisable, then it will no longer be perceived as being an endorsement
of the work by the another artist.  I think that this is an important 
distinction as far as sampling ethics are concerned, although that doesn't
make it any less illegal than sampling 10 second chunks of a record and 
calling it yours.  

The standard answer seems to be; Why go to all that trouble?  Why not spend 
your time creating new sounds rather than mangling old ones?

For myself, the answer is: I DO.  But that's beside the point, it is dodging 
the issue.  The technology's available which means that someone's going to do 
it (if they haven't already).  So the question still stands, should it be 
made legal, if not, why not?  I've yet to hear a satisfactory (ie. ethical,
not legal) answer.

   This should be proof enough, accidentals DO NOT affect the note in other

The main rule in music notation is ``write it in such a way that

Hello,

I recently saw a Pearce BC-1 preamp (used) in my local

about it.  Is Pearce still in business?  What is their

How is the quality of these things?  I know Billy Sheehan

Yes, Dr. D has been distributed on CD since September, when he switched
distributors from Westwood One to On the Radio.  Before that, it had been
distributed on LP since about 1984, and also briefly in the mid-70's.  At
other times, it was distributed on reel-to-reel tape.  The stations used to
be required to return the LP's after the playing, but this got to be too much
of a hassle.  I don't know now if radio stations keep the CD's or not.

I have an Alvin and the Chipmunks album from circa 1962 (I was a
preschooler then) which has this song.  The chorus is something like:

Oo Ee Oo Aa Aa
Oo Ee Walla Walla Bing Bang
Oo Ee Oo Aa Aa
Bing Bang Walla Walla Bing Bang

I think the title is The Witchdoctor.

Unfortunatly, Durham (and indeed all of North Carolina) is not blessed
with the presence of the Doctor on the airwaves at this time (according
to my latest information.)

Considering the number of "Demented" folk who live and work in this
area, it is quite amazing that no station has had the nerve to pick up
the Dr.   I made quite a pest of myself with one radio station program
director asking for the Dr. several years ago.  But like most good PDs,
he moved elsewhere in the world.

My mother has mentioned occaisionally that she would like to know more

went something like this: "Catch a pickled herring, put him in a barrel, 
watch your neigbors move away..."

Has anybody out there ever heard of this before?  Who sang it?  Is it

This weeks show had as its theme TV.
The funny five also had 4 songs about TV
(is this a conincidence?  Does he first get
the funny five figured out and then shape a show
around it, OR does he request songs about a certain
topic for a particular funny five?)

I will now use TV for my examples of my rating system.

****- MUST have in my collection  (e.g. They drive me Brady)
*** - WANT in my collection	  (e.g. Popeye Reggae)
**  - If its in my collection I won't erase it (e.g. Happy Happy Joy Joy)
*   - Will purposely tape over it to get rid of it. (Gee, nothing about
	TV is THAT bad.  Pencil Neck Geek qualifies)

5) THE BRADY BUNCH- Weird Al. ***
	A good song- HAS a POINT OF VIEW on the show (that its awful).

4) WE LOVE BARNEY FIFE- Guns and Moses ****
	Always nice to treat a trivial topic as though its important/dramatic.
This could even be called a cross-genre song- mistaking Barey Fife for
a real cop.

3) LETS TALK DIRTY IN HAWAIAN. ** 
	A one joke song. But for SONGS thats okay.  I've seen one-joke
movies or even one-joke  6-year-long TV series
(Charles Angels comes to mind. Oh, that wasn't a joke? :-))

2) Stairway to Gilligans Island ****
	One of the first, and one of the best Cross-Genre songs.
(The theme of Gilligans Island to the tune of Stairway to Heaven)
For other good ones see the musical group BIG DADDY
(they recently redid the entire SGT PEPPERS album as if
done in 50's style) and also RERUN ROCK, a CD from Rhino
that has other TV-themes in different genres
(would you believe the PATTY DUKE THEME as if done by
BOB DYLAN.

1) Happy Happy Joy Joy (Ren and Stimpy) **

I'm not sure...is this the song whose "lead vocalist" is doing an imitation of
John "The Duke" Wayne?  That's the only one I can think of that even comes
remotely close to being a cowboy rap.  But as for who REALLY sang it, well,

This is from a song called the Witchdoctor.  It was released in 
December 1958 by Ross Bagdasarian (sp?) (aka David Seville).  It was his
first record.

BTW, Ross Bagdasarian's cousin was William Saroyan, the playwright.

Does anybody have a copy of The Transformed Man, by William Shatner?
Not the cuts that appeared in Golden Throats, but the whole album.
Please reply my mail to rkeller@nyx.cs.du.edu
Thanks!

I think they asked for them but doubt they ever got  many.  I've still
got a big stack of them.  With regard  to CDs, I'd  assume the same --
nobody sends them back.   There are stores in   NYC where they  charge
through the nose for CDs of  various programs  (never  seen Dr.Demento
among them, alas) ...
