# ZZ Top's First Album

ZZ Top's First Album is the debut studio album by American rock band ZZ Top, produced by Bill Ham and released in January 1971 by London Records. Establishing ZZ Top's attitude and humor, the album incorporates styles such as blues, boogie, hard rock, and Southern rock influences. "(Somebody Else Been) Shakin' Your Tree" was the only single released from the album.

## Background, recording and release

The album was recorded at Robin Hood Studios in Tyler, Texas. ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons said:
   We called the record ZZ Top's First Album because we wanted everyone to know that there would be more. We weren't certain if we'd get another chance in the studio, but we had high hopes.
The only single released from the album was "(Somebody Else Been) Shakin' Your Tree" (backed with "Neighbor, Neighbor") on London Records (release number 45-138). It failed to appear on the Billboard charts.
In 1987, the album was remixed for CD release. In 2013, the original vinyl mix was released on HD Tracks in high-resolution digital download formats. The original mix of the album was released on CD in June 2013 as part of the box set The Complete Studio Albums (1970–1990). In October 2017 a 180 gram vinyl edition of the album was released, using the original mix. In August 2024, the original stereo master tapes were used by Kevin Gray to cut lacquers for another 180 gram vinyl release.

# Rio Grande Mud

Rio Grande Mud is the second studio album by the American rock band ZZ Top. It was released in 1972 by the London Records label. The album title was inspired by the Rio Grande, the river that forms the border between Mexico and Texas.

## Background

ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons said of the album:
   It was the first record that brought us into step with the writing experience. We started documenting events as they happened to us on the road; all of these elements went into the songwriting notebook. As we went along, we were keeping track of skeleton ideas as they popped up. The craft was certainly developing.

# Otis Kaye

Otis Kaye (1885–1974) was an American artist during the early 20th century. He is noted especially for trompe-l'œil paintings of U.S. currency.

## Life and work

Otis Kaye carried on the trompe-l'œil tradition of William Harnett, John Frederick Peto, and John Haberle, and is esteemed particularly for his works which include U.S. currency. Kaye, however, in addition to oils, created etchings, watercolors, and pastels, some including currency but others on varied themes.
Born in Dresden, Germany in 1885, Kaye came to Neemah, Michigan with his parents when he was only three years old. In 1904 he moved to New York for a short time and there discovered his passion for art. Kaye and his mother moved to Germany where he studied engineering. He returned to the United States around 1914 and worked successfully as an engineer in the Midwest until the stock market crash of 1929. He began painting trompe-l'œil oils in the tradition of the great 19th-century artists, William Harnett, Peto and Haberle. Many of these works include coins and bills. Because the United States enacted a ban on painting currency in 1909, Kaye did not sell his paintings but gave them as gifts to family members and close friends. He also created ink drawings of currency, and made etchings after Rembrandt, Whistler and Picasso, as well as other artists. He expanded on these prints with compositions of his own in ink and gouache.
Kaye created larger paintings which focused on diverse themes: the economy, in De Jia Vu; war, in Land of the Free; religion, in Joshua's Horn; art, in Rembrandt, What's Behind the Painting; and even baseball in What a Hit! In addition to money, Kaye's works sometimes include pistols and musical instruments and almost always show puns and humor. Art historian Bruce Chambers wrote, "we are now accustomed to identifying Otis Kaye by the ambitious scale, layered meanings, and impeccable craftmanship of his trompe l'oeil money paintings..."
Kaye lived in Illinois until just before his death in 1974 when he returned to Germany. Kaye never exhibited or sold his paintings during his lifetime. Beginning in the 1980s his works were sold at galleries and auctions in New York and quickly moved into public and private collections. In 2002 Kaye's prints were exhibited at the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington, DC. and published in Otis Kaye Trompe L'Oeil Master of Appropriation by Mary Anne Goley (2002).
Kaye's paintings and prints have been included in museum shows of American art in the United States and recently in Florence, Italy. The definitive catalog of Kaye's works, Otis Kaye: Money, Mystery and Mastery was published by New Britain Museum of American Art for an exhibition in 2015.
# Verna: USO Girl

Verna: USO Girl is a 1978 American made-for-television biographical musical-drama film produced by Thirteen/WNET New York and broadcast nationwide by PBS as part of the Great Performances series on January 25, 1978.
Based on a Paul Gallico story, it focuses on untalented singer-dancer Verna Vane, who fervently believes that a U.S.O. tour overseas will put her on the road to superstardom. Although she's more willing than able, her brave self-confidence wins the hearts of the beleaguered GI audiences. They embrace the dauntless Verna because she, like them, is risking her life for the sake of the American dream.
Verna's fellow troupe members include Eddie, a second-rate vaudevillian, and would-be chanteuse Maureen, who encourages Verna (of whom she observes, "She's invented a new way to sing flat and dance clumsy") to set aside her show business fantasies and accept a proposal of marriage offered by Army engineering captain Walter.
Filmed in military training areas in Hammelburg and Baumholder, Germany by director Ronald F. Maxwell, it stars Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Howard Da Silva, and Sally Kellerman. Period songs featured in routines created by burlesque comic Joey Faye and choreographed by Donald Saddler include "I'll Get By," "Jeepers, Creepers," and "Since You Went Away." Musical arrangements and Musical Direction by Joseph Turrin.
Da Silva won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Drama Special, and Maxwell's direction and Innuarto's script received nominations.
"Verna's troupe is the kind of company that gives the small screen the illusion of depth. Engagingly told by talented people it can stand as a model for what made-for-TV movies could and should be." Frank Rich, Time Magazine, Jan 30, 1978
# Couching

In embroidery, couching and laid work are techniques in which yarn or other materials are laid across the surface of the ground fabric and fastened in place with small stitches of the same or a different yarn.
The couching threads may be either the same color as the laid threads or a contrasting color. When couching threads contrast with laid threads, patterns may be worked in the couching stitches.

## Applications

Laid work is one of two techniques used in the Bayeux Tapestry, an embroidered cloth probably dating to the later 1070s. (The other technique is stem stitch.)
Underside couching of metal thread was characteristic of earlier Opus Anglicanum in Medieval England and was also used historically in Sicily and rarely in other parts of Italy and France.
Couching is also characteristic of Japanese metal-thread embroidery and Central Asian suzani work. Another example of Islamic embroidery is the strong tradition of couching stitch in Palestine. Production centered on Bethlehem and its two neighbouring villages Beit Sahour and Beit Jalla; it was used for wedding dresses and formal wear.

## Variants

* In couching, one or more threads are laid on the fabric surface and sewn to the fabric at regular intervals.
* In couched filling, threads are laid on the surface in a trellis pattern and sewn to the fabric at the intersections.
* In laid work or Bayeux stitch, threads are laid side-by-side to fill a shape, then held in place with a thread at right angles to the laid threads. This crossing thread is then couched to the fabric to hold the laid threads in place.
* In Bokhara couching or Bokhara stitch, the couched threads are held in place with many tiny crossing stitches, which may be aligned from row to row to produce patterns.
* In Roumanian stitch, long satin stitches are each held in place with a small diagonal stitch made in the center.
* In Roumanian couching, bundles of laid threads are held in place with Roumanian stitches.
* In underside couching, a heavy couching thread (historically, a stout linen) is brought up from the wrong side of the work, looped over the laid thread, and returned to the wrong side. The couching thread is then given a sharp pull which draws a small loop of laid thread through to the wrong side of the fabric. Underside couching has the advantages that the couching thread is completely concealed from the front and is not subject to wear.

# Choynimni dialect

Choynimni (also spelled Choinumne) is a dialect of Kings River Yokuts historically spoken along the Kings River between Sanger and Mill Creek (near Piedra). The language is the best documented dialect of Kings River Yokuts.
Information on the language was collected by Clinton Hart Merriam and Stanley Newman.

## Fluent speakers

Jennie Irene Oliver, one of the last fully fluent speaker of Choynimni died in 2022 at the age of 83. Living members of the tribe retain knowledge of Choynimni including an estimated half dozen speakers.

## Revitalization effort

Efforts to revitalize the language have been organized through the California State University, Fresno Department of Linguistics.
# Gord MacFarlane

Gord MacFarlane (born January 1, 1956) is a Canadian retired ice hockey player.

## Amateur career

MacFarlane attended St. Andrew's College, Aurora and the University of Vermont.

## Professional career

MacFarlane was a prospect of the Philadelphia Flyers.
MacFarlane began his career with the Grand Rapids Owls and finished his career with the Toledo Goaldiggers. In total, MacFarlane played 226 regular season games in the International Hockey League (1945–2001).
# The Smirks

The Smirks were an English new wave band from Manchester who played from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Although they failed to meet with commercial success, they built a small but loyal base of fans.
They are remembered mostly for a quirky vocal style and for a curious campaign Smirks against Travolta, simultaneously a homage and a parody of Rock Against Racism. The Smirks session for the John Peel show was recorded on 19 April 1978 and broadcast a week later.
Despite being more of the new wave/power pop genre, they did support Killing Joke and Joy Division at the ULU gig in London, 1980.
Their acrimonious dispute with Beserkley Records, for whom they recorded an album that was never released, is also noteworthy and was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 documentary. The album was finally due to be released in October 2007, but was delayed by the sale of Sanctuary Records to Universal Music and is still awaiting release.

## Parody

Smirks against Travolta was only one example of the band's use of parody, though the campaign had a serious side: keeping live music venues alive against the increasing incidence of discos with only recorded music. Their slogan The most fun you can have with your shoes on was a parody of Beserkley's The most fun you can have with your clothes on, while after Beserkley, their choice of Smirksong as a label name was a parody of Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records, while the DHSS prefix to their own label's release suggested the Government department dealing with the unemployed, as the band no longer had a contract.

## Other projects

Ian Morris and Mike Doherty both played on the demos for the Jilted John single. Ian Morris and Simon Milner later released a single under the pseudonym Captain Mog and Private Sigh. Mike Doherty went on to play for The Freshies. Simon formed The Bernhardts, a predecessor to The Oscar Bernhardt Ensemble, who play 1930's and 1940s Swing and Latin Music. Ian Morris, now presents a show on ALL FM called Standing in the Shadows of Lev. Neil Fitzpatrick and Simon Milner were part of the group Distant Cousins, who released two albums with Doreen Edwards.

# Werewolves on Wheels

Werewolves on Wheels is a 1971 American exploitation film directed by Michel Levesque and starring Stephen Oliver, D.J. Anderson, and Deuce Barry. It blends two genres: the outlaw biker film and the traditional horror film.

## Plot

"As it is, the story takes up the tracks of a California biker gang, the Devil's Advocates, as they speed across a barren highway on a drug-infused journey of undisclosed intent. Losing their way, they stop for the night on the grounds of a 'church' tucked away in some hills off the beaten path. Much to their initial pleasure, they are fed by a kindly group of hooded priests before settling into a deep, inebriated stupor."
As a group of bikers moves across the desert, they come across an old church that a Satanic cult has taken over. The cultists give them drugged food and the bikers soon fall asleep. That night the cultists cast a curse on the biker leader's girlfriend that makes her turn into a werewolf after nightfall; she soon infects her boyfriend. The bikers leave the church and begin to be killed off whenever they stop for the night. Things come to a climax when the couple changes in front of the bikers, who quickly kill the beasts. The bikers return to the church to have their revenge, but stop when they see themselves in the cult-procession.

## Cast

* Stephen Oliver as Adam
* Donna Anders as Helen (as D.J. Anderson)
* Deuce Barry as Tarot
* William Gray as Pill
* Gray Johnson as Movie
* Barry McGuire as Scarf
* Owen Orr as Mouse
* Anna Lynn Brown as Shirley
* Severn Darden as One

## Production

In many scenes, footage was used of real bikers with no experience or training in acting going about their lives as normal. Thus, parts of this film could be regarded as an early experiment in reality as entertainment.
# When Boys Fly

When Boys Fly is a 2002 documentary film about gay circuit parties directed by Stewart Halpern and Lenid Rolov.
The documentary played a number of gay and lesbian film festivals before being released on Region 1 DVD on November 26, 2002.

## Synopsis

The film follows several attendees of the annual White Party in Miami, Florida. The major subjects are:
* Tone, a 21-year-old from Dallas, Texas. Tone has attended several previous circuit parties and has gotten in trouble with out of control recreational drug usage. His stated goal is to become a biology teacher but despite having enough college credits to be a senior he has no major. His roommate Scott is very concerned about his drug use and has delivered an ultimatum: if he "fucks up" at the White Party he will be thrown out of the house and out of his roommates' lives.
* Brandon, a 23-year-old UCLA student who's never been to a circuit party before. He is a friend of Tone's and they travel to the party together. Brandon is very firm in his decision not to use drugs at the party and worries that he will be ostracized at the party for his decision.
* Floridians Jon, Jason and Todd. Jon is 19 years old. Jason is in his early 20s. Todd is in his mid 30s. Jon and Todd have been dating for two years. Before they dated, Todd and Jason dated. Initially there was tension between Jason and Jon but now they are best friends. The only reason Jon agreed to attend was that Todd promised that Jon would be the focus of all of Todd's attention.

### Pre-party

Brandon loses track of Tone, who is unconcerned as he seeks out his "circuit friends." Brandon meets Greg, his boyfriend Jeff, and some of his friends and they shop for party outfits. Greg and his group think Brandon is cool, but Brandon initially thinks Greg is a "typical shallow circuit type." As he gets to know them better he realizes that Greg (who was earning his PhD in Psychology at University of Michigan and planned to enter academia) is deeper than he first thought.
Jon and Todd tell of their traumatic experience with the illegal party drug GHB at a previous party. After taking a normal dose, both of them stopped breathing within 30 minutes and were hospitalized on respirators for several days.

### At the party

Tone is staying sober and not having fun. He meets his friend Matt, who feeds him GHB, rationalizing that if he is the one dosing Tone then Matt can control and monitor his usage.
Jon catches Todd "fucking around" with another man and breaks up with him on the spot. Despite having observed Jon and Todd's bad reactions to GHB, Jason decides to take some. He ends up passed out and Jon and Todd take care of him.
Brandon stays true to his decision to stay off drugs. His fears of ostracism prove to be unfounded.

### Post-party

Following their return home, Jon and Todd no longer speak. Several months after the party, Brandon has met a boyfriend and brought him home to meet his mother. Tone continued to party and do drugs until he suffered a mild stroke at age 22. Scott nursed him back to health. Tone entered a rehab center and as of the release date of the film remained clean and sober.
# Why Girls Love Sailors

Why Girls Love Sailors is a 1927 American comedy short silent film directed by Fred Guiol for Hal Roach Studios. It stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy before they had become the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy. It was shot during February 1927 and released July 17, 1927, by Pathé Exchange. It was considered a lost film until the 1980s.

## Plot

The narrative commences with the loading operations aboard the vessel named the Merry Maiden, where Oliver assumes the role of the first mate, characterized as a domineering figure among the crew. Meanwhile, Stan portrays Willie Brisling, engaged to Nelly, with their affection evident. However, the captain, upon spotting Nelly, develops an interest in her, leading to a disruptive turn of events. Stan, displaying a tattoo of a ship on his chest, endeavors to thwart the captain's advances and rescue Nelly. Employing a series of stratagems, Stan seeks to eliminate the crew one by one, resorting to disguising himself to deceive them.
As the plot unfolds, Nelly faces harassment from the captain, complicating matters. The unexpected arrival of the captain's wife further complicates the situation, with Stan inadvertently becoming a target of the captain's affection. A tense encounter ensues, culminating in Stan's revelation and a pivotal moment of reconciliation between the captain and his wife. However, tensions escalate once again when the captain indicates retribution against Stan.
In a moment of revelation, Stan exposes the captain's wrongdoing to his wife, triggering a fatal reaction. In a sudden turn, the narrative concludes as Stan and Nelly are fatally shot, with their undergarments unveiled in the aftermath.

## Cast

* Stan Laurel as Willie Brisling
* Oliver Hardy as First mate
* Viola Richard as Willie's Girl
* Anita Garvin as Captain's wife
* Malcolm Waite as Captain
* Charles R. Althoff as Grandpa Brisling (uncredited)
* Edgar Dearing as Amorous Sailor (uncredited)
* Bobby Dunn as Bemused bit (uncredited)

## Production

The film marks the first appearance of Anita Garvin in a Laurel and Hardy picture; her involvement in the film was not known until the 1986 rediscovery. Deleted scenes from this film included actress Anna May Wong.

## Lost film found

After its initial run in 1927 and particularly after talkies eclipsed silent films marketability, Why Girls Love Sailors went missing in the U.S. for nearly fifty years. Cinémathèque Française had a 16mm print, which French film critic Roland Lacourbe saw in 1971, and pronounced it mediocre.
When it was finally published, it was drawn from a 16mm print in a private collection, and only due to the efforts of a private collector in Copenhagen. Laurel and Hardy author Glenn Mitchell is even less impressed by the film than was Lacourbe: "Why Girls Love Sailors is one of several instances where the status of a 'lost' film has been reduced by its rediscovery," he writes. It is available in Europe on VHS and DVD releases, with reconstructed credits. In the United States, both VHS and DVD editions are out of print.
