I'm working on a large CD length (maybe two CDs) project, autobiographical in nature, and am looking for contributions of a very specific nature - privately owned recordings from which I can excerpt at will. These can be virtually anything - speeches, music, interviews, shows - anything that you can grant the rights to for one-time use, and we can negotiate about which portions - the odder the better. Preferred formats are DAT, CDS, LP, cassette - or the back of a $100 dollar bill. so far participating musicians are myself, Rande Sandke, Loren Schoenberg, Ursula Oppens, Marc Ribot, Barbara Lieurance, and Paul Austerlitz - with more to come -

"Ron Carter appears on Grace Slick's "Manhole". I hope she didn't mind -

belatedly - that scene was from Bananas -

actually, those pop Kessel's don't count as Cameos - he was part of the group of session guys - they were regulars, the equivalent of pop character actors - a whole different thing - a cameo is a brief appearence, in and out - so a lot of this stuff also doesn't qualify -

this thread will be especially amusing to people who have lost children to drunk drivers -

this thread gets strtanger and stranger... but I do think William Carlos Williams was a great poet, drunken sot that he was - of course, if one wants rehab, better to check into the Dylan Thomas center -

there's an old Untouchables about the shooting of Anton Cermak - that's how I learned MY history - TVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTTVTVTVTVTVTVTV and for the record I don't drive anywhere even mildly stoned, or after having taken any substance, from beer to wacky tobaccy -

well, I was alive when I first listened to it...

this has gotta be a goof - Giuseppi Zangara shot Anton Cermak, the Mayor of Chicago, as I recall (though he was trying to kill FDR) -

I thought sober drivers in Jersey were the exception -

Carl Smith, who lives up her in Maine, is the guy with all the Sonny - I haven't talked with him in some time, but apparently he's collected a lot of stuff-

did you guys know Fred Below? On of my favorite drummers -

I should mention that my very first, on-stage, gig was at my high school Senior Prom, 1970 (I was a junior, 16 years old) - noteable because the guitarist was Elliot Steinberg, who later became Elliot Easton of the Cars - I played tenor on this, with guitar/piano/bass and drums -

I would also suggest, from 1957/58 (don't have it with me now), his live recording with the MJQ - intially released on a VSP LP, and I have it on Verve CD - the one with You Are Too Beautiful, I'll Follow My Secret Heart, Doxy, etc -

there are Jimmy Dorsey big band recordings, from around 1940-1942 that I've heard on 78s that I don't think have been reissued, and there are some amazing things on them - there's a couple of cuts on which Jimmy sound very pre-bop, and one can instandly understand why Bird admired him so much - for Tommy, a good place to start are the Sy Oliver arrangements - or anythng with Dave Tough -

age 17 - country and western gigs - I played bass -

don't make me start whining again -

let me add one quick thing - by "60s junkie" I meant that Annette Peacock was addicted to the cultural idea and concept of "the 60s" - thank you very much - and good night - and good luck -

it's ok by me -

bumping this up - don't want anyone to see Clem's misquote as the last word -

Just found this - from my old post, it was in the middle of a discusion about Francis Davis: from 4/24/05: "So he criticized Peacock, a pretensious, if talented, 60's junkie?" no need to apologize Clem, as I know that's not your style - just put on your glasses -

funny this should come up as I remember the A&M LP with those short pieces and I loved them - something about the format made Taylor really work and concetrate in a particular way (not to say he did not otherwise) - but this format really allowed a closer look at this methods - good stuff, in my opinion, and very valuable music - not "commercial" at all, though I can forgive the naked photo on the sleeve -
