Subject: Zal; Ikettes question
RIP and regrets, Zal Yanovsky, you helped make the Spoonful
tuneful. Wasn't "Summer in the City" a pretty popular garage
band cover (though not nearly as covered as, say, "Hey, Joe"
or "Gloria" or "Wild Thing")? I've heard several versions of
"You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" including one by an Anne Murray
-type crooner which slows down the tempo to a fireside beat
(Ugh!) And The Rotary Connection (whom I mentioned before
re Beatles lyrics) covered "Didn't Want To Have To Do It" on
their Trip I album too.
Now for my Question of the Week: I checked the Girl Groups
site (John Clemente et al) for the Ikettes because I figured
if I could get some info there I wouldn't have to ask on the
list. They're not there but my question is: Did the Atco
personnel always sound kind of like The Shirelles (as they do
on the non-chart "Heavenly Love"-1962-which my mom got as a
bonus with another 45 back then) and did the Modern label group
continue this same sound? Reason I ask is that other than the
aforementioned single and their backing of Ike & Tina on records
such as "River Deep - Mountain High", I haven't heard too much
of their other records, even "I'm Blue (Gong Gong Song)" which
got pretty far up the charts in '62. (Although - I suspect this
is the same tune Spencer Davis did on the '69 HEAVIES album) .
Ravin' on,
Bobster

When I first saw the Spoonful at the cafe Bizzare in N.Y. in
1965 they had all the songs that appeared on the first album
....the personality and the musicianship to pull it all off...
especially Zal. My then partner David Kapralik and I knew we
found a winning act. We took them to Columbia ....but they
weren't interested...they said they already had two "Longhaired
groups"....the Byrds...and Paul Revere and the Raiders.
What can you do?

I'm so sorry to hear that Zal died!!! He looked like he was the
happiest in the Lovin' Spoonful in the old clips you see of them
and he was always joking around with John Sebastian. We are going
to miss him. I still get a kick out of seeing old clips that I
have of them and Zal just smiling away. One of my favorite songs
by them that a lot of people don't remember is "She Is Still A

I don't live in New York. That means that on Saturday 21st I
won't have the dilemma of choosing whether to go and see Ronnie
Spector at B B King's or Darlene Love at Symphony Space on
Broadway. Big Apple dwellers can find out more about Ronnie's

As it is, I live in South London. My choice of Saturday night
entertainment is more likely to be between the Crankies in Jack

Roger Scott was a terrific bloke and a real fan. I didn't know him
well, but we drove down to Brighton together to see Springsteen in
the early 80s and the whole trip was enormous fun. I met James Hamilton
a couple of times when he was writing his Record Mirror column in the
days before disco: one of those '60s English public school boys who
fell in love with the music and failed to go into the army or merchant
banking or estate management or whatever his parents may have planned
for him. Like Jack Good, Guy Stevens, Mike Raven and Dave Godin, he
was a maverick whose taste touched many more people than ever knew his
name.

Subject: Roger Scott & James Hamilton
Oh YES - what a great 'Cruisin' show those two gents used to
put together for Capitol Radio! Roger was a attendee of the
annual UK Beach Boys Fan Convention and it was there that I
struck up a friendship with him, largely based around
conversations about obscure surf and drag vocal issues.
So much so that, when they planned a show called "The Surfin'
Draggin' Bikin' Show" or somesuch for their weekly Cruisin slot,
they got me in to provide a few rarities. I went to James' flat
where we played lots of tracks that were eventually used to
enrich the expected BB, J&D, Dick Dale selections - thus
Episode Six's "Mighty Morris Ten", The Rip Chords "Summer USA",
The VoxPoppers "Last drag", the Upsetters "Draggin' The Main",
the Rockaways "Top Down Time" (i think) probably gained their
first and perhaps only UK radio airings. Unlike some radio
shows, these were meticulously planned with timings down to the
last second by James, with a complete tidily typed script. Roger
would then do intros and inserts as befitted. I still have a
C120 tape of the show somewhere, so in theory it could be copied
though my own facilities for such activity are somewhat crock at
present. I also seem to recall a tape of another specially themed
show - may have been the girlie one or maybe another one - seems
another delve into the inner sanctum may be on the cards...
Roger also continually championed the wonderful "Dear Brian"
by Chris Rainbow (whose excellent three solo albums are well
worth picking up) - this song was, and is, one of the best ever
about Brian Wilson.
I have very fond memories of Roger, and indeed of James, who had
one of the very best album collections I have ever seen. He let me
have a look through the racks, and I saw UK issue albums I never
knew at the time even existed: the Majors and the Rivingtons among
them. I feel that, had they lived, both those lovely gentlemen
would be sure to be Spectropoppers

In 1966, when I first heard this great song, I vowed that I would
one day own a copy of the 45, and so I have for the last 10 years.
It is included on a 1966 comp that I put together last year,
preceeded by the tokens, "I Hear Trumpets Blow" and followed by the
Vogues, "Magic town".
I try to chronologically order the songs on these compilations
beginning with those tracks that were played on the radio, beginning
in january and then continuing the song list as the year progresses.
So the first song on this 1966 comp is Frankie Valli's, "you know
you know you're gonna hurt yourself".
Let me see now, did I first hear this valli tune in January 1966,
or was it in late december of 1965, around the 19th or the 20th?
Now which day was it?-----

I have this (love it too!) and it sounds to me like a demo that
was embellished. Is that likely? Maybe that's a silly question
since embellished demos were probably not uncommon. I ask because
it really is a great song with hit potential. The fact that more
attention was given to its recording baffles me. It's also possible
that I'm hearing things wrong and Carla Thomas' recording is par
for the course. Maybe, just maybe, I'm rambling on about nothin'?

What a great finger-popper! And I recently picked up the Norma

...... A not-so Lovin' story about the Spoonful happened in '65
at Cambridge's "Club 47" Coffeehouse, a partial progenitor of the
Great Folk Music Scare of the mid 6T's. Anyway, the Spoonful were
in town to do a show at 47, their original reputation being that
of a jug band which the Folk Music Scare worshipped from on high.
Which actually leads me to my point - from on high. The Spoonful
were caught in possession of weed and were told that they could
face the music, then pretty stiff in the States, or roll and squeal.
They chose the latter and apparently the weed was supplied in part
by someone affiliated with 47, which caused immense headaches for
staff and management who among other things had to find a replacement
for the Spoonful as they'd been run out of town after rolling and
squealing. The first LP had just been released. Hundreds of copies
were procured - perhaps to sell at the show, maybe in backstock at
the Harvard Co-op, then one of the few places to buy LPs. The floor
of Club 47 was carpeted with Lovin Spoonful LP covers and trampled
upon by the patrons for the entire weekend!

BJH fall into that category of whimsy known as English pastoral
rock....at least by me anyway! BJH like the softer King Crimson,
Caravan, Macdonald & Giles and of course the Moody Blues could
only come out of the English music scene. They sound like Vaughan
Williams would have done if he had been born 75 or so years later.
BJH did some great tracks.....when you are in the mood for whimsy.
Not least 'Poor Man's Moody Blues' where they even poked fun at
themselves (having been labeled that by the press).
American bands could never conjure up the feeling that these English
bands achieved....in the same way as British bands could never quite
pull of California sunshine pop. (Now I know that'll get a few people
going!)
I agree Bill, I don't play them much....... but every now and then

Doc,
Snapper Music is putting out records using the Charly name these days.
I'm not sure if they are putting out all of their releases or just the
new ones listed on their website (http://www.snappermusic.com) and click
on labels. While their quality wasn't as consistent as Ace's, and I've
heard stories of questionable business dealings, the old Charly put out
a ton of great stuff and I miss them. They were one of those labels I
would always take a chance if the price was right and the cover or the
songlist looked interesting.

"Me About You" wasn't written by the Spoonful. I think
it was on the last album under the Spoonful's name,
but that was basically just Joe Butler with studio
musicians. The best version I heard of this tune was
on Gary Lewis'lp, except for his vocals!
By the way, anyone who wants to help with the "Spoonful
of covers", I will send the end result to all who
contribute. I have about 12 tunes: Bobby Darin, Flamin'
Groovies, Pat Boone, Butthold Surfers. Contact me offlist
and we'll work something out. Would love to hear that
"Mr Sebastian". Got a version of "Summer In the City" by
Mike Melvion. It's on a LP produced by Marshall Lieb and
contains a great Bacharach tune, "Looking With My Eyes",
much better as an instrumental than the version Dionne
does on Hullabaloo.

As a treat for Paris Sisters lovers among y'all, now playing
at musica is one of their earliest and rarest recordings,
"The Bully Bully Man," written by Jimmy Drake aka Nervous Norvus
(the connection involves the fact that both were Bay Area acts).
In coming weeks I will also post its flipside, "Zorch Boogie".
Both are upbeat numbers featuring the brassier side of the sisters'
performance range, which I understand was about the only side until
Spector got hold of them. The date is (as far as I know) unknown,
but my best information puts it at c.1954.

The pic sleeve of "She's Still A Mystery" has a shot

One of the Spoons once told me that they tried to keep
Zally in the picture even after he had left the band.
The strange thing is that this promo poster I bought a

Subject: music & emotions revisited
Today's Boston Globe carried an interesting Associated Press
article, which addresses -- and to a certain extent may even
answer -- some of the questions raised in our recent discussion
(prompted, if I recall, by Peter Lerner (who in turn may have
been prompted by his recent marriage!)) on music's special
abilities to evoke emotions. The article is about a Dartmouth
College study in which musicians had their brains MRI'd during
sessions of music listening, to reveal locations of peak activity
and other issues of music processing. The results are quite
fascinating.

------------------------------------------------
Study Shows How Brain Remembers Music
by Associated Press, 12/17/2002
Sounds from the radio slip into a melody and suddenly your mind skips
back to an evening of moonlight and romance and happy times. It happens
to everybody, but until now science was unsure just why.
A new study by researchers at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H.,
suggests that recalling that melody is the job of a part of the brain
known as the rostromedial prefrontal cortex. It is the part that
remembers music and is even able to recognize a sour note in the midst
of a familiar tune.
A team led by researcher Petr Janata of Dartmouth's Center for Cognitive
Neuroscience explored the mind's memory for tunes by studying the brains
of eight musicians as they listened to a bit of original music.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, which detects the part of
the brain active in response to specific stimuli, they found that the
ability to recognize music is contained in a centrally located area just
behind the forehead.
Janata said that part of the brain also plays a key role in learning and
in the response and control of emotions.
"Our results provide a stronger foundation for explaining the link
between music, emotion and the brain," Janata said.
In the study, eight people who had studied music for at least 12 years
listened to the music and were asked to pick out specific tones and to
detect notes played by a flute-like instrument instead of a clarinet
which had dominated the music. As they performed these tasks, the
functional MRI tracked which parts of the brain were active.
The researchers reported that the brains of each of the subjects tracked
the sounds in a slightly different way each time the music was played.
This may be the reason the same music, in different times, may prompt
different emotions.
Janata said the fact that the brain is naturally wired to appreciate and
remember music suggests that the pleasant sounds were an important part
of the human mind from the earliest of times.
"It's not necessary for human survival, yet something inside us craves
it," Janata said. "I think this research helps us understand that
craving a little bit more."
