I'd love to be the first to welcome Kaye Krebs to the
Spectropop list. The Pixies Three, the Shangri-Las and
Reparata and the Delrons are held in great esteem by me as
my favourite girl groups of all time. By the way, Kaye, I'm
the same Tom who recently inquired about a possible Pixies
appearence at the Western Fair in London, Canada!
Glad to have you on the list, Kaye!

> Welcome Kaye Krebs of the fabulous

I second that! How exciting to have you here, Kaye.
I must have been under a rock, but I wasn't familiar with
your music until I bought "Growin' Up Too Fast" and your
songs were the highlight of the wonderful set for me. I've
been going to your website to see if any CD's have become
available, but so far, no luck.. Your harmonies knock me
out and hope I have an opportunity to see you live (any
planned dates in the near future?).
You were on my mind for another record. There is a public
access in New York City called "Wild Record Collection." It
is very hard to describe, but the host, Snuffles, is a
stuffed polar bear, and Snuffles dances to records with
his stuffed animal pals.
Last Monday was the show's third anniversary, so all the
songs or the group had something to do with the number
three. The show was kicked off with them dancing to "
Birthday Party" and followed it with "Welcome to the Party."
Snuffles even talked about how much "he" loved the
Pixies Three.
For any Spectropoppers who might not be familiar with the
Pixies Three, four wonderful songs of theirs are contained
in "Growin' Up Too Fast," which Amazon is selling for 68%
off of the retail price.

Subject: Astronauts
Received: 07/18/99 1:39 am
From: Dave Mirich, Dmxxxxxcom
To: Spectropop List, spectxxxxxities.com
The July issue 134 of Discoveries has the best article I
have yet seen on the music of the Astronauts. It was
written by a Colorado dentist (the 'Nauts were products of
Boulder) who did a lot of work researching the article. In
another article written by Dominic Priori several years
ago on his choices for the greatest surf albums of
all-time, he rated the Astronaut's album "Surfin' with the
Astronauts" at No. 2. Priori said that "the richest,
deepest, most aquatic sounding surf music was made by the
Astronauts".
The author of the current article interviewed some of the
members of the band which added some delightful passages.
However, there was virtually no information about one of
the bands members, Dennis Lindsey. Dennis was a longtime
friend of mine through the years that I lived in Boulder.
He died of a heart attack several years ago after a
lifetime of fighting his problem with alcohol. Dennis was
a very special individual, that rare individual who
possesses true humility. For the seven years that I daily
interacted with Dennis, he never once mentioned that he
was a member of the Astronauts. I only learned about it in
a full-page article in the local paper after he died.
Dennis was a soft spoken, mild mannered cowboy-looking
fellow scooting around town on his small Honda motorcycle.
He would often bring his guitar up to my ranch for my twice
yearly parties and would soon have a crowd of people around
him down by the lake singing songs.
I was talking to Jim Gallagher one day (a fellow member of
the 'Nauts) who shared with me many special stories about
Dennis. When I get a moment in the next few days, I will
try and right a few these stories down. In the meantime,
buy this Discoveries issue and read about this wonderful
landlocked surfin' band. Also, if you get a chance, buy
the excellent CD by Bear Family, Rarities -- I promise you
won't regret it.

You may well be bonkers. Only your headdresser knows for
sure. But perhaps this will "clair(ol)" things up. The
Fifth Dimension did do a song called "The Eleventh Hour"
written by Jim Webb wherein the only lyrics are "What A
Groovy Day we had today." It was on an the "Stoned Soul
Picnic" LP. I wonder if that could be it...Jimmy Botticelli

Thanks to Carol Kaye for the info on Lesley Gore. I plan
on picking up those books you mentioned, particulary BACK
BEAT, this week in fact.
I am so happy you folks are getting the recognition you so
richly deserve. IT'S ABOUT TIME!! YOU WERE 60's music and
it is an honor to be able to speak with you..
I know you have spoken of studio musician Leon Russell..He
is in Albany, NY this weekend appearing with the Neville
Brothers. I will definitely stop in and see them...Regards

I just got this LP on RCA by The Match called "A New Light."
Liners are by Henry Mancini and the lyrics sound Beach
Boyish meets late 6T's hippie sensibilities. But the
melodies and arrangements are pure soft rock. I am
flipping out over this album. I heard a DJ buddy (from
Combustible Edison) spin it at Bar d'O in NYC last week
and he told me the Japanese Soft Rock collectors all say
this is a "must have." Any info would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance and welcome to the Pixies
Three lady. Many a radio show of mine has featured
"Birthday Party" and "442 Glenwood Avenue".
Jimmy Botticelli/"Jimmy's Easy" airs on WMBR-FM, 88.1 in
Cambridge, MA at MIT on Tuesdays from 6-8a.m. It can be
heard in real time by downloading Real Audio and going to
