How to use all this new cellphone, video and html5 technology? No sweat; here’s one suggestion…video yourself as a choir, adding ALL the parts into the whole, one by one. The conclusion I came to is that this very talented kid has a hell of a lot of time on his hands. I spend more than 5 minutes making a Tin-Pan Alley Hit on youtube and I feel like I’ve failed. Enjoy. He’s really quite exceptional. I hope he monetizes the hell out of his efforts!

Here’s more to tantalize and whet the appetite for multitrack a capella vocals… Continue reading →

Remember Peter and Antonia Stampfel and the Holy Modal Rounders? Probably not, but if you saw them on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In in 1968, they looked like this:

Gayle was stunningly drop-dead gorgeous, bursting with positive energy and expansiveness that enabled her to become one of the biggest stars of the Los Angeles rock scene — but then, suddenly, bam! She dropped out of sight, leaving a legacy with “Smith” and a few indie singles that made the charts to #44, not an impressive showing. What the heck-darn happened to her, anyway? Continue reading →

Sandy Denny — Long Forgotten

Sandy Denny was without a doubt the greatest rock vocalist of the late 1960s, including everyone you can name, yet she’s totally obscure, wiped off the face of the Earth, the Forgotten Queen of Acid Rock. Why??? The answer is crystal clear … Continue reading →

I knew Jerry Lewis back in 1966-68 when I worked with a member of his family who was just starting in the music industry; we visited his well-guarded home many times, and the hospitality of the Lewis home was outstanding, warm and kind. He invited me to a number of filmings — his shoots were always open, but I got to watch his directing and camera directing close-up. As a matter of fact, one time it got really wild when Don Rickles Continue reading →

Fred Katz Redux

The first thing you’re going to ask is, “How come I don’t know about this guy, Fred Katz???” Personnel on this 1958 breakthrough album include Buddy Collette on flute, Billy Bean on guitar, Don Fagerquist on trumpet, Bob Enevoldsen on trombone, Jack Constanzo and Larry Bunker on percussion, Oscar-winning composer John Williams on piano. So how come you didn’t know about this incredible history-making album until now???

The obvious answer is, Fred Katz didn’t want you to know until now. Fred Katz is, like myself, a rather outspoken visitor from another dimension. He is nominally viewed as a Jewish Mystic, and is a high-school dropout anthropology professor at Cal State Fullerton, and an accomplished artist and musician at the very crux of creation, the edge of the event-horizon of jazz — he invented the jazz cello … but there’s more to the story than that … much, much more.

There’s a certain “look” to dancing these days that disallows one to stray from the path of the Orthodox Dance of the Day, but actually, it’s always been that way. These girls have to work very hard at their craft, which clearly, from the moves used in the dance, involves attracting sex partners, object… possible relationship. Continue reading →
