Look here Mr. Know-it-all, I seriously doubt that Mingus and Slam Stewart
played with any Rock Musicians. I think Slam did something with Mr. Holly
that was sort of bluesy, but Sting has nothing to do with this so leave
him out of it, ok? I can't remember who the others I listed were so I 
can't comment on them now... Sting may be famous, but he doesn't know
JAZZ from a fish on a bicycle. Go pick on Dave if you need a punching
bag, this is an informative thread. I already found out about a bunch
of Slam Stewart stuff I never heard before, despite your trying 
to cloud the issue and antagonize me. SO there!

His new band is the Rollins Band now, I think; they have an album called
"Saxaphone Confucius" on Blue-Tone, which is a ska label.

I have a cassette from the late 1970's called "Cold Fact", performed 
by someone called Rodriguez. I guess that the music would be classified 
as folk, and from his accent and lyrics he sounds American. It may be 
dated,  but I really like his stuff: intelligent, caustic lyrics and
hauntingly appropriate melodies. 
 
I would like to find out if he is still around, how popular he was
at the height of his career, what albums he made, and most importantly 
whether his material is available on CD.

Hi folks.

I would like to sell a drum set in excellent working condition.
I am a graduate student and beginner at drums.  The drum set
is in very good condition as I have hardly played for more than
5 hours * cumulative *   since purchase about a year or so ago.

I have maintained the drums and really babied them, including
loosening the drumheads since not in use.  They are great
for putting up community shows or any such performance since
the professional-like sound quality comes along with a shining
new appearance.

So, the features:

Professional quality sound

Shining new condition       :   Blue with Shining Chrome trimmings
                                NO scratches or spots or rust
                                Drumheads original and good as new,
                                        brand name (Royce) clearly visible

SPECS:

5-piece drum set (ROYCE)   :    Bass drum, Snare, 2 tom-toms, 1 floor tom

1 Crash Ride               :    Camber (german) 300 series, 20 inches

1 Hi-hat                   :    Camber (german) 300 series, 14 inches
                                                with pedal etc. 

Stands for all of above    :    Shining Chrome, DOUBLE brace and very
                                  sturdy, ADJUSTABLE with LOCKS for
                                  preferred settings (for quick assembly
                                  or disassembly after performances)

EXTRA Freebies             :    $10 Snare drum pad for quiet practise at
                                  home, new ear plugs, books/exercises
                                  for starters.

   
    ASKING   PRICE   :  $325 (was $400)

    Buyer pays for Freight charges... I would pack the drums for damage-proof
                                      delivery.



    MUST SELL BEFORE CHRISTMAS...

Hang on.  It may have been Mr. XIV's only single, or only charting single,
but it was not the only song he ever did, at least according to the Rhino
catalog, which offers the album "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!",
which they describe as "an exact reissue of this classic long-sought-after
album".  For what it's worth.

While I've got the Rhino catalog open, I'll note that the song is also
available on a couple of their compilation albums:  "Doctor Demento Presents
Volume 3:  The 60's" and also on Doctor Demento's "20th Anniversary
Collection".

``As John walked through Queens among the pigs, he noticed that his band
  didn't have a mailing list.  He knew that all those trendy bands had

Well, I went to CBGB's last night to check out Chris Whitley.  I had
already seen him earlier this year at Wetlands, and he had played solo
steel guitar.  He was truly awesome, and I highly recommend him to everyone.  

However, the CBGB gig was with his new band, which consists of Chris
on guitar, plus a bassist and a drummer.  I didn't know that he had a
band (apparently this was only their third show together, and there
were lots of technical difficulties), but they floored me completely!!
Chris Whitley has got to be one of the best musicians to come along in
a long time.  His guitar sound is totally unique and raw and
excellent.  His voice is great too.  The band played mostly new songs,
plus a few off of the "Living With The Law" record.  Which, by the
way, is an album you should run (don't walk) out and buy.

But my question is this: Who is this guy?  Where did he come from?  He
looks too young to be able to play that good.  What other recordings
does he have?  How old is he?  What's his favorite color?

By the way, Chris Whitley is playing at Maxwells (Hoboken, NJ) this
Sat. night.

Phil Chen did play in Rod Stewart's backup band for years, but the original
poster was thinking of Tetsu Yamauchi (sp.?), who played with the last lineup
of Free and its offshoot "Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu, and Rabbit".  He later joined
Faces as Ronnie Lane's replacement.

Widespread Panic -- Another group from Athens Ga.
If you like bands that really JAM these guys will turn your head. Musically
extremely compitent and creative. You won't hear the same old rifs. Most
notably the keyboard player T.Lavits has been playing with the Dixie Dregs
(One of the bands Steve Morse Founded). The crowd that follows this band
tend to be Dead Heads, but don't let that scare you away if thats your
tendency. This band is real tight live and their studio stuff is very
impressive. These CDs may have to be ordered from your local music shop
unless you shop in the south. They are not expensive typically and well worth
the effort. For lovers of good jamin' Rock and Roll this band will become a
staple in your CD library.

There are two CDs currently available on the reinstituted Capricorn label.
Rerelease of their first CD --Space Wrangler-- The whole CD is good but
notable tunes include -- "Chilly Water (killer live)" "Space Wrangler"
"Porch Song" "Stop-Go (killer live)" and "Driving Song".
Their second CD Titled --Widespread Panic-- Notable tunes (all killer live -
at least the ones I've heard) "Rock (trippy and cerebral)" "Makes Sense To Me
(a tune with a consience)" "C.Brown" "Love Tractor" "Weight Of The World"
and "Barstools And Dreamers"

Those of you who are fans already don't misunderstand, I think both of these
CDs are great from beginning to end but I must impose opinion.

ENJOY!!!

No early eighties revival ? Heaven 17 riding high, and Madness can do no
wrong. At least OMD's last LP done well. 

ps I would strongly recommend 2 CD's on Virgin/Pickwick
priced UNDER 7 quid, in HMV!

Heaven 17 & China Crisis - Best of's. Not bad as an intro to both bands.
