Subject: Jeff Foskett / Billy Hinsche
UK based members may be interested in this: Saturday 15th March - 1pm
to 6pm - at The Wycliffe Rooms, George Street, Lutterworth, Leics will
see Jeff Foskett and Billy Hinsche doing a double header for pretty
well the whole afternoon. Music, Q&As maybe a harmony workshop and
other things. This is a follow up to a similar event in London last
year, which was a fascinating and entertaining afternoon. Both men
have toured extensively as Beach Boys, and both have extensive pop
histories and current projects (Special for Richard H - they are also
doing a smaller on in Leith on March 18th). Tickets are £20, with
some of the proceeds going to the Carl Wilson Foundation I believe.
Check out the Beach Boys Britain site for more details:
http://www.angelfire.com/la/Beachboysbritain or for ticket reservations
email funky.pretty@btopenworld.com Attn Val - say Kingsley sent you!
Note for travellers - the venue is close to the M1 and is easily
accessible.
Kingsley Abbott
PS - Can't find my Earth Opera, so I think I'll dig out some
old Ink Spots for George W - perhaps 'I Don't Want To Set The
World On Fire'....

She also had the following single on Epic:
Donna Loves Jerry/I'm In Love With George Maharis
I believe it came out it 1963. Maharis was a label-mate of hers at the time
and charted with his version of "Teach Me Tonight" so it wasn't merely a
coincidence that she did her "true confession" song!
But it's the "Donna Loves Jerry" side that I think should have been a monster
hit. In my opinion it was as catchy as as ANY "girl-artist" record of that
era.
I've heard that Donna eventually moved to Germany and raised a family. There
is virtually no information about her on the web, including her real name
(which may or may not have been "Donna Lynn").
If anyone here has more information about her I know I and Doc Rock and
Andres and I assume many other here who fondly remember her would appreciate
it!
I do recall that back in the early 60s there were many ads for her in Variety
Magazine that referred to her as "teenage and terrific Donna Lynn"!
And she surely was both!
This is definitely an artist who deserved to achieve more success than she
did.

It was a Hank Williams tune, not just that type.
Del Shannon's "Swiss Maid" was no.2 at the same time.... Great, great tune,
that gets overlooked when Del's name is mentioned. I never heard it until
the live lp came out in the 70s.

Mike's wish is my command; the DRC's version of "I Hear The Grass Singing"
is now playing at musica. Definitely one of my two favorite DRC tracks (the
other being "Picture Postcard World" - the B-side of the second DRC 45 from
1968 "Variations On A Theme Called Hanky Panky" which is pretty cool
itself!).
I'm ripping three of the Hardy Boys demos that Mike talks about above, and
I'll play them to musica if there's space later today. Two of these feature
Ron Dante on lead vocal, the other is Mike himself.

Efram Turchick, re: Pam Polland's comments, thank you! I had been in
correspondance with her a while back, but you got the conversation to where
I'd hoped it would go. I agree with her - this, along with Andy Pratt's
"Avenging Annie," is one of the top songs I know that should have been
monster hits and weren't. Interesting - both fumbled projects were on
Columbia - coincidence or conspiracy? :-)
Seriously, this would make an interesting thread - name a favorite or two
(and why, if you wish) that should have been a major hit and got somehow
buried. My two biggest are above.
Chris Stovall Brown: holy mackeral, man - where do I start?!?

I remember Dick's long-running overnight show as being extremely
progressive, both in his own verbal content as well as the variety of music
played. I vaguely remember the evening show, but for a ocuple of years a
spirit of true programming adventurousness ran through all of WBZ; hearing
major-level radio personalities, most of whom brought their brains as well
as their patter to the air, playing better music than most, made WBZ the
station of choice until they were eclipsed by "the new FM" - WBCN and WBRU
as the two commercial-radio pioneers. I remember going up to the station in
their first week of progressive programming (from 10pm to 5am, if I'm
correct) and meeting Steve Kerwood, who is now I believe on NPR. I think
Peter Wolf came on within a few weeks after the "format's" debut.

Right on all counts, Chris - thank you! We loved The Band - I still do. Many

Among many others, Benefit Street opened for Iggy & the Stooges there
(before any of us knew anything about them). Iggy still owes me 10% of my
hearing back! Skip Chernov offered to manage us, and promised us a record
contract, but had no money. A local guy with ties to ABC Record Distributing
had money and re-equipped us, but never got us recorded. Skip got frustrated
trying to woo us and went after Swallow instead. Good luck, we said. Six
months later, there's an LP on WB. Damn.

Geez - the original cast! Add Howard Tate's magfificent Verve LP to the
shoulda-been-hits list above; considering the wealth of source material here
("Get It While You Can," "Look At Granny Run Run") made famous by others,
this superb LP deserved to be more than a cult classic!
I may be asking the obvious - may I assume you are Stovall Brown as in the
Stovall Brown Blues Band? Want to share some history?
Bob Rashkow mentions "the super Chameleon Church: Chevy Chase in his rocker
days!" Another Rhode Island connection - Mr. Chase hails from Pawtucket!
Check out the gorgeous "Camillia Is Changing," which was actually released
as a 45.

Amen. I think we're going to see a lot of 60's spirit, if not the actual

Clark, JB and everyone contributing the New England memories: thank you. My

One or two solid successes could perhaps help break the straitjacket of

Mine arrived in New Jersey (USA) from CDNow yesterday (Feb. 1). As the liner
notes point out, it is an album of failures, at least commercially. But
there are some magnificent failures therein. It's also great to have my fave
phantom instrumental, the Survivors' "After The Game." Add their "Pamela
Jean" and Glen Campbell's "Guess I'm Dumb" to the shoulda-been-hits list,
too.

Subject: Re: Del Shannon and Frank Ifield
Thinking back to 1962, one of the homework assignments I was set went
like this:
"Did Del Shannon's Swiss Maid teach Frank Ifield how to yodel?
Discuss"
From memory, my answer went:
"No, that honor went to Roger Miller. Roger wrote Swiss Maid and it
must have been given to Del when he went to Nashville to cut some
sides in 1962. Roger Miller put the song out as a 45 himself in
1961: "Fair Swiss Maiden"/"Burma Shave" (RCA 7958). It was a nice
version."
Let's not forget though, that Frank Ifield's best song was "I Listen
To My Heart", the self penned b-side of "I Remember You"
Mike Edwards – still looking for that Chase Webster 45, "Like I've
Never Been Gone" on Dot from 1962…. of course.

Does anyone know if this album is available on CD in any
way? I'd love to finally hear it, but don't want to spend
$50 to get somebody's else beat-up LP.
I hope to be there on the 22d. I caught Tate's show at the
House of Booze last year, and it was magnificent. If he's
aware of any changes in music since the mid-1960s, you sure
couldn't have known it from the way he sounded that night.

Oh yes sir, Tate's legendary Jerry Ragovoy-produced Verve LP of
1967 did indeed gain CD release. Mercury's "Get It While You Can"
(Chronicles 314 526 868-2) 17-tracker contains the whole of that
album, 02 tracks that were included on its 1969 reissue, 04 others
that were released on 45s and one previously unissued cut. The
sound is first rate and it comes with a nicely annotated 12 page
booklet. The CD is a 1995 release but, although possibly deleted,
should prove easier, and cheaper, to locate than an original copy
of the album. To be honest, it's all a bit funky for me. I prefer
Ragovoy's earlier work.
Howard Tate: great singer, even better hairdo!

Same here. That live album is one of the few records I realized I had made
a mistake in getting rid of, and reacquired recently on CD. It's a stellar
album.

Subject: Re: Dick Summer / Howard Tate etc
Hi all,
Thanks to one list member I was actually able to contact and get a reply
from Dick Summer. He told me that I was correct in my dating the show to
1966/67. I told him that I never seem to see The Subway show mentioned in a
history of "progressive" radio on the East Coast and he replied "It would be
nice to be "recognized", but it was so much fun that the "recognition" isn't
very important." What a cool guy!!! I recall amidst heavy doses of Bosstown
Sound stuff hearing Howling Wolf, John Coltrane and my first taste of both
Jimi Hendrix (when Hey Joe was just out on a single!) and Cream
(Spoonful-when the Fresh Cream lp was import only!). Speaking of Psych.
Supmkt. I seem to recall shows by Mothers of Invention (where Zappa did
Johnny Guitar Watson's Gangster of Love) and what I believe were the area's
first Cream appearance! I seem to recall that Dick's radio show got pulled
off the air and dissapointment reigned supreme on my mothers little
transistor radio that I'd try and tune in late at night. Well it seemed like
about 3 weeks later, in another latenight listening session, her tiny fm
receiver pulled in Howling Wolf doing No Place To Go followed by Fleetwood
Macs cover version. Damn, I had discovered the "American Revolution"-WBCN
and Mississippi Harold Wilson (now owner of Mississippi's Restaurant on
Mission Hill in Beantown) soon followed by Woofer Goofer aka Peter Wolf
(just in from a gig) playing some blues but more soul type stuff. Well I
wore the battery out on that sucker that night and quickly returned for what
was really an amazing musical world. I had discovered WBCN only about 3
weeks after they had switched from an all classical format. For the next
year or so my friends and I made plenty of pilgrimages up to Boston to the
old Tea Party (53 Berkeley St. now a Christy's Mkt!) and saw Led Zep, Jethro
Tull, Albert King, George Harmonica Smith, Big Mama Thornton etc. You get
the picture!
Around 1969, I recall WBRU trying to do a similar program switch that if
memory serves me correctly was only for a couple of hours a day at first. I
still preferred BCN and their more knowledgeable dj's. Regarding Country
Paul's query about Stovall Brown Blues Band-this was and is still my band
although I've spent time playing with a lot of people in the biz in addition
to my own band-Fatman Wilson/Sliders, Luther Georgia Boy Shakey Snake
Johnson, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, James Cotton and I've done several
gigs in the past few years with Howard Tate.
Howard's story is ripe for a movie (and that may come to pass). He's been
working the last year with Jerry Ragovoy on the "comeback" record and believe
me it's great. No fake drums, horns etc just the real deal. What's more
amazing is Howards voice is about 95% of what it was-He still hits those
jawdropping falsettos with ease and his voice is just a little huskier
(something I actually prefer). We are doing the tunes in the same key as the
original records!! Well worth seeing when he's in your area. Regarding a cd
reissue of the Verve stuff-one was put out in 1995-MERCURY (3145268682)-Get
it While You Can. This is out of print and copies have gone on ebay as high
as $145.00. I think Mercury is waiting for the new record to come out and
then piggyback it for promotional purposes. Let me also throw out a line here
to a well known Providence record collector/lurker (who knows who he is!!BA!)
who could fill in a lot more on the Protown progressive radio sounds of
people like Joe Thomas.
Later,
CSB

Last week's contestants in the Battle of the Nitzsches generated
a lot of interest. Garry Bonner is this week's winner. I do hope
some of you have been looking forward to hearing it for the first
time. I remember reading about it in BOMP and impatiently hunting
it down: http://www.spectropop.com/JackNitzsche
The reason I was excited about "Our National Anthem" is not so much
the music - I don't know the song - but because it is another Nitzsche
track to add to the discography and search out. Thanks to Efram we
have Gentle Soul's Pamela Polland describe the session and participants.
Another problem: do I list it in Jack's discography, and, if so, in
which category: 'cool vibes', 'spiritual influences' or Pamela's own
(jokey) term 'Collective Consciousness'?
Next week's battle will be a rather more straight ahead contest:
Dorsey Burnette with "One Of The Lonely" versus Gary Crosby "Where
The Blue Of The Night (Meets The Gold Of The Day)".

Okay you got me as far as the writing, but if you ask anyone who knows
"Lovesick Blues" who did it, the answer will usually be Hank Williams.
Kind of like "Good Lovin'" will always be the Young Rascals to most of
the public, not the Olympics. Of course in Spectropop Land, where the
smallest details will surface eventually, this rule does not apply.

Nick Tosches illuminates on this confluence, with his usual articulateness
and insight, in his recent book on Miller, Where Dead Voices Gather. As
usual (again), Tosches uses the premise of Miller -- who he positions as
an important transitional figure at the vortex of blues, hillbilly,
minstrel and vaudeville (and perhaps a few other categories) -- as a
platform from which to roam far and wide. In particular the book also
serves as a meditation on the nature of artistic derivation and influence.
What's most remarkable is that he's able to do all this despite the
absence of virtually any factual information on Miller. Highly recommended
for those interested in any of the above.
