Needless to say, Parthenon Huxley isn't his real name.  It's more or
less a tip of the hat to some time he spent in Greece as a teenager.

The first time I heard of him was on a 1983 compilation of North Carolina
bands called *Mondo Montage*, on the now-defunct Dolphin label, which
was owned and run by the nationwide Record Bar chain of record
stores.  He was going by the name "Rick Rock" at the time.  He had
two tracks on the record, one of which, "Buddha Buddha," later
showed up (in the same recording) on his 1988 CBS debut.  The other
track was called "(I'm a looking for a) Sputnik".  Dolphin released
another NC compilation in 1985, *More Mondo,* which contained one
more Rick Rock track, "Button (Love Is No Sentimental Journey)."
Two other Rick Rock songs were released on a little-known tape-only
compilation put out by an NC-based periodical called the Spectator
(I think; I may have the name slightly wrong.)  That compilation was
called *Greetings From Comboland*, which should be confused with the
single LP condensation of the three tapes released by Making Waves
in the U.K.  The two songs on the cassette were "Dozers" and
"American Kids," which tells about his time as an exchange student
in Greece, from whence came the later moniker.

There may be more music out there under the Rick Rock name, but I'm
not aware of any.  The next I heard, the name was Huxley and the LP
was on CBS.  I have no idea what he's been up to since, other than
what I read here.

   No, it is pompitous.  This was discussed a few months ago.  I think the

imho, it's one of his best albums, and Rykodisc did a very nice job in
the packaging.  the bonus tracks are good, too, including the 1980 version
of "Space Oddity" and an unusual instrumental track called "Crystal Japan".

i highly recommend this disc.

It might have been a band by the name of the 'Flying Pickets'.  That sounds

Don't know when he recorded it, but it _is_ the same song Cyndi did

Organization: University of Vaasa, Finland
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1992 09:20:41 GMT

After the last album released by Abba, the boys started to work on
this CHESS musical. After that, to my knowledge, they have done this.

1985 Benny and Bj|rn produced and wrote an album for Swedish sister-brother
duo Gemini. The singers were Anders and Karin Glenmark, who had been the
backround singers for Abba in the previous years. They had also sung in
the first recording of Chess f.eg. Anders Glenmark sang the chorus
on the "One night in Bangkok".
The Geminis first album, called simply Gemini, was rather good, including 
some songs very near to Abba -sound. 
1987 Benny, Bj|rn and Anders Glenmark wrote and produced the second album 
for Gemini, called Geminism. It was much better than the first album, 
and I believe it is very near to what Abba would sound if it still 
existed. 
These albums were issued in the Scandinavian countries, and I believe, 
that the first album of Gemini was released all around the Europe by 
Polydor-label. It sold poorly and it was forgotten.
After Gemini, Benny Andersson have released two solo-albums. The first was 
"Klinga mina Klockor" in 1988(?). It was very much influenced by Swedish 
traditional music. Benny plays accordeon and synths and is accompanied by 
a fiddle group. Some songs are composed for a comlete symphony orchestra.
In some songs Benny has worked with Bj|rn Ulvaeus. 
In 1989 Benny released yet another solo album following the same formula.
The album was called "November 1989". In the album there is some interesting
mixing of traditional folk and disco and synth sounds. 
Both albums are highly enjoyable, depending on whether you like traditional
scandinavian music. These albums show, that Benny is still a very skillfull
composer, arranger and producer.

Organization: PANIX Public Access Unix & Internet, NYC

I just received the latest newsletter from the Annie Haslam
Appreciation Society (Hoffman Bros. Management; PO Box 249;
Montgomeryville PA 18936 USA).

Since there was a long discussion this summer about Annie and
Renaissance I thought I'd summarize some of the highlights. If there
is enough interest I'll key in the whole thing and post it here
someday).

First, to end the speculation Annie does not currently have a record
contract. However, she is now co-writing/produced by Tony Visconti
(David Bowie, T. Rex, Moody Blues, Strawbs. etc) and has a whole
assortment of new songs that might land a record deal soon.

In the meantime she will be touring starting in October:

10/16  Theatre of the Living Arts, Philadelphia
10/23  Town Crier Cafe; Pawling NY
11/7   Bottom Line, NYC
12/4   Club Bene; Sayreville NJ
12/30  23 East Cabaret; Ardmore PA

The December 1992 GOLDMINE will feature an interview with Annie.

The newsletter also includes a definitive discography, compiled by the
artist herself; and some sources for imports. Of interest in the
discography:

1990   Fox      Akio Dobashi (Annie is guest vocalist)  Virgin/Japan
       Betjeman Mike Read    (Annie is guest vocalist)  Silhouette UK

Well, Richard, if you don't want people to question your motives, you'll
have to explain them better. Your advocating a newsgroup split implies
that there is something wrong with the newsgroup as it is currently
constituted, especially given your insistence that yours is the
'pragmatic' solution. As you know, I've asked you on the net and in
email: *why* do you want to split the group? Even if we accept that
jazz and blues are separable (which I don't), by what reasoning does
one conclude that they *must* be separate?

My belief that there is narrowmindedness going on here is based on the
number of arguments in favor of a split that are variations on "I don't
want to have to wade through articles I'm not interested in." I read
that sentence as "My tastes are sealed in concrete, and I don't want
anything new to enter into my consciousness." Looks like narrowmindeness
to me.

If this is not why you have taken the lead int he splitting efforts,
by all means, explain the real reason. Because I do wish to understand
why you are expending so much energy on a non-problem.
