Hello Giants!
Someone asked about music for a 9 year old. My nephew "Keifer" is 9 years
old, and here's what he likes to listen when he sleeps over at Uncle
Julian's & Aunt Lunette's(Andrea):
BONZO DOG BAND - "Gorilla"(Keifer loves the track "Jollity Farm", especially
the part where Viv sings: "The cats meow, the dogs bow wow!"
PINK FLOYD - "A Saucerful Of Secrets"(Keifer is a big fan of P.F.'s
"Corporal Clegg". He loves the lyrics. :)
HARRY NILLSON - "The Point"(Keifer digs NILSSON)
KRAFTWERK - "Man-Machine"(Keifer just digs the vocoder vocals)
NEIL YOUNG - "Trans"(Keifer's fave from this album is "We R In Control")
KING CRIMSON - "Lizard"(Keifer loves The Gordon Haskell scream before the
deathly sounding Mellotron break...only because Uncle Julian plays the air
Mellotron. He also likes "Happy Family")
FRANK ZAPPA - "Apostrophe"(Keifer likes "Nanook Rubs It/St. Alphonzo's
Pancake Breakfast"...what 9 year old wouldn't find the lyrics funny for
"Watch out where the Huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow! He also
thinks "As she abused the sausage patty" is a clever lyric as well. I won't
let Keifer listen to the rest of the CD, maybe when he's older. ;)
RUSH - "Caress Of Steel"(Keifer finds "I think I'm Going Bald" to be a real
gas.
MAX WEBSTER - "Max Webster"(Keifer likes "Toronto Tontos" especially the
part where Kim Mitchell blurts out "NO cigarettes, NO matches!" which is
proceeded with "I've got no fire on me!"
SOFT MACHINE - "Vol. II"(Keifer loves "A Concise British Alphabet Pt. 1". He
also digs he part where Robert Wyatt thanks Noel, Mitch and Jim 's exposure
to the crowd...only because he's seen Uncle Julian lip-sync the lyrics)
That's about all I can think of right now. I tried Gentle Giant on him, and
he finds them annoying. Lyrics aren't funny enough I guess. Keifer is a
lyric man.
Ciao,
REG(Julian)

No. There was a rather negligible film made of it in Yugoslavia in the
mid 1970s too.

Ain't nothin' else like it on the planet. It's two different stories
told simultaneously: the reappearance of the devil in modern-day (which
is to say, 1930s) Moscow as a magician preparing to offer a magic show to
the more well-to-do citizens, and a retelling of the crucifixion of
Christ from the point of view of Pilate, who is the protagonist. Make
that three stories: the "master" of the title is a young, idealistic
poet and Margarita is his beloved, who serves as the Queen of Satan's
three-hour midnight ball at the stroke of midnight. Among the
devil's minions who walk the streets of Moscow is a six-foot black
cat. Somehow, all of these story threads come together at the end,
although I haven't quite figured out how, despite having read the novel
four or five times.
Along the way Bulgakov pokes fun at state-sponsored (-controlled)
literature, the housing situation under the Communist regime, and other
topical issues.
Bulgakov tinkered with the book for many years, knowing he
could never publish it under Stalin's regime, and it circulated in
samizdat form. It was finally smuggled out and published in Paris, in
French, in the early 1960s, and in English in the late 60s. I believe it
has only been available in Russia in the last decade or so. (Bulgakov
died in the early 1950s, as I recall. His memoir/journal was published
long after his death with the sarcastic title _Manuscripts Don't Burn_.)
Avoid the Michael Glenny translation; the Mirra Ginsburg is okay. But
there's a more recent translation that has lots of explanatory notes
about Soviet history and the literary references, by Diana Burgin and
Katherine O'Connor. Other translations, involving some Volokhonskys,
are imminent.
An amazing feat of imagination.

If you can find a copy of the Flying Lizards' cover of "Money," I bet
that would go over big.
(In fact, I wish _I_ could find a copy of it at this point, for myself.)

You bet, it's one of the strangest books ever written.
Over the winter I finished a translation of Gogol's complete stories,
Vintage Books; ISBN: 0375706151. Translation is by Richard Pevear and
Larissa Volokhonsky. To balance off Gogol, I was reading the Collected
Fictions of Borges, leaving me with a severe overdose of surrealism come
springtime.

Right, but things changed a bit after The Missing Piece record, maybe
even after Inteview. I know he added a Roland JP-4 (I think that's
the model) for Missing Piece tour, and might have had a Rhodes on the
Interview tour, both of which were not present previously. He had a
second Minimoog also for Missing Piece, and some Yamaha thing (a
keyboard, as well as a mixer) that I'm not sure of the model.

Hearing this, and about Gary Green's two surgeries to correct

I sit in stunned silence.
It is great to have you back in the fold, Geir.
Oh yes, I have an original Hohner Clavinet/Pianet Duo which is black.
I don't know if they made the regular Clavinet D6 in black (I've
never seen one in any case, but I'm SURE that Don "gear hound"
Tillman will have something to say about this!), but I do know that
Kerry's was painted white.

You rang?
My Clavinet D6 is teak wood, as were most, but they were also
available in black tolex (that tough plastic canvas-like glued-on
material used on guitar amplifiers).
Hey, I just noticed:

Then I thought about saying:
Oh yeah? Well I've got an old Hohner Pianet (his name is Homer the Hohner) in
the wood-like finish particle board and it sounds GREAT through a fuzzbox.
The several times I saw GG, Kerry had a B-3, Wurlitzer, Mini-Moog and a D6.
Once I think I saw a string synth of some sort but I never saw him with a
Mellotron. During the GFaD tour, I was too far from the stage to really see
the equipment (Rainbow Music Hall as someone previously posted and I have
tapes) and, frankly, was only there because I felt I HAD to be as I disliked
the album but couldn't pass up the greatest live band in the world, so I
wasn't paying much attention to the gear.
Don't you hate long sentences?
BTW I don't hear the Rhodes on PatG. It's Wurlitzer.
My apologies to those others on the list who find this pure drivel and trivia.

Try Aspirations. It's a Rhodes. Good luck to those of us in the

I'm sure he told me that he never toured with one, and that
reliability (or, more specifically, a lack thereof) was the reason..
>BTW I don't hear the Rhodes on PatG. It's Wurlitzer.
The first note on that record is Rhodes, as are the rest of the
electric pianos on Proclamation, Aspirations, and, BTW, Interview (he
appears with a Rhodes in the "Interview" video). He and I spoke
about this - he liked the Rhodes, he said, but preferred the way the
Wurli cut through the band most of the time, live.
