That, or oldies radio prgramming. Didn't Doug Stravinsky go on to become the overnight guy on an oldies station in Bakersfield? Yeah, after he got fired in Memphis for drinking more than Dewey Phillips.

I've got the Blue Velvet Chess 2-CD set, and it's long been a favorite. But this A Capella thing is something I've just found out about. Apparently it's a (comparatively) recent live recording, and if the AMG samples are any indication, it's a must-have. I've been playing the loop of "The Beating Of My Heart" for about 20 minutes now, and to call it mesmerizing is an understatement...

A half-century worth of years, that's what I'm talking about! But enough about me. Let's talk about this bottle of Doug Stravinsky's CC

Only recently found out about this side, and listening to the AMG SAMPLES have made its obtaination in some form an imperative. Apparently it was in print for something like 30 seconds. I've only found one copy for sale online, and it's going for a price which I cannot afford. So any leads and/or other assistance will be greatly appreciated. No PMs please, but email through the board is always cool. The Moonglows RULE!

I'm drunk on life.

Didn't Stravinsky have a peevish brother who was into CC? What was his name, Doug? Yeah, that's it, Doug Stravinsky. Cat tried to write film scores but couldn't get hired because all the srudio heads thought that he was gonna write weird shit like his brother. Kinda sad, really, but it's his own fault, I think. He shoulda just chagned his last name or some shit like that. Married somebody's sister or something. Hollywood helps those who help themselves, ya'know? But yeah, that might well have been Doug Stravinsky's CC. He left a trail.

Man that shit might have been owned by The Beatles!

I'd drink that shit in a second!

Hell man, that shit be aged!

Yeah, the 60s stuff is pretty damn intense.

Ingo. Came out around 1975, IIRC.

If even a handful of guys get overcome by their golden shower fantasies, that place could get real messy real quickly...

I said he was from Pittsbugh. That's wrong. He's from Kansas City. He's on staff at the University of Pittsburgh, and was already there when I heard him at that clinic. Guess that's how I made the connection. My bad.

Almost! Seriously, that's a good side.

It's lively and frisky!

Listened to it last night. It's a keeper. Just don't expect Flashlight Revisited or anything like that. This is an album that combines the trashed out vocals of Rio-era Sly with the production finesse of Prince's very best work with the stylistic scope of The White Album. There's a healthy dose of both street talk and Clinton's patented surrealistic social observations thrown in for good measure, sometimes sepeately sometimes together). The ingredients are all familiar, but the combinations of them are sometimes startling. And what he does to "Goodnight Sweetheart" is nothing short of warped genius. Like I said, it's a keeper.

Davis hails from Pittsburgh and expatriated pretty early in the game. I think he's a fine player, actually, although his earlier recordings show him to be a "work in progress". I'm ok with that. Da' Bastids are currently offering two of his 70s albums. One's kind of a "fusion" type thing coming from the funk tip, and it's ok, but the other is a suite in memory of Dr. King that is very good, and unlike the typically optimistic hue these things tend to take, more than a little pessimistic in its overall attitude. A very provocative liste, actually. I had the pleasure of seeing Nathan Davis while I was still in high school. He appeared at a clinic along with Clark Terry, and he played just fine. I might even have a cassette of the performance stashed away in the closet somewhere. I consider him one of the "infantry soldiers" of the music, somebody who works hard at their craft and is constantly trying (and usually succeeding) to improve. Nothing glamorous or grippingly innovative about his playing, but that's not the point with players like this. The point is that they're out there trying to do what they do as best (and most importantly, sincerely) as they can do it, and they always seem to find someplace in which to do it. I have a lot of respect for that.

No such suggestion was ever made. Please, read closer and more carefully.

Yeah, to get the full Rachel Ray Intoxication Infusion, you gotta see her in motion. Her beauty is magnified by the action which accompanies it, and diminished by the omission of same. That's why I'm a little bugged by her seemingly sudden omnipresence on book shelvs and magazine racks. That same mug with that same smile is not a good thing, imo. This is one person whose beauty can not be "captured". I guess what I'm saying is - is there video from that photo shoot?
