I recommend the live album if you can find it. Supposedly it's out on cd, but I've only seen the vinyl, which is around at reasonable prices at collectors' shows with fair frequency. their BBC album is also a good intro, though it has some of the worst cover art I've ever seen. surfing the Web a few months ago, I found a Rod Argent website where he's hawking a CD of piano solo stuff (if memory serves).

I'm still a big fan of Rod Argent's prior band The Zombies, who recorded a great album in 1967 called Odyssey and Oracle. I don't think it was released until 1968, and I didn't hear it until 1971, but it stands as a great reminder of The Summer of Love. Another great 1967 album was the first one by Fat Mattress, who featured pre-Hendrix Noel Redding on guitar. In fact, Fat Mattress opened for Hendrix at one point, with Redding playing guitar in his group, and then switching to bass for The Experience. Any one else have any great memories (or favorite albums) from that period of time? Disreali Gears and Wheels of Fire by Cream are 2 more favorites, along with Bee Gee's Odessa. -David Eric ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 14:38:53 -0400 From: "David and Stacey Shur" Subject: gg: GG&F: pre-Sinfield - ----- Original Message ----- From: Diana Green > np: The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp- just found a used > copy- never heard it before- eh, it's ok...

While I no longer believe, this, I used Kenny Rogers, Conway Twitty (sun sessions), and Ronnie Milsap (once a member of Paul Revere and the Raiders) as evidence. 2.

In 1966, I was 6 years old and started to learn to read. Every morning, I would pester my dad - whenever he was shaving - with stuff like, "Dad, can I read you something?" or the like. Of course, he never declined (rest in peace, dad!). He would always have the radio on and listen to the then most popular station in Frankfurt, Germany. And all they would play day in and day out was stuff like Bert Kaempfert, Herb Alpert and all those people. So, my earliest musical memories are of all those great band leaders whose influence can still be felt today. And in going back to the CDs of people whose names I remember, I have to admit to still love them today - especially the 2 mentioned above.

Must dissent on two points: 1. though most of the album is not Zappa per se, it is still quite a good album by a very strong player. L. shankar had several albums on ECM which were very worthwhile. I know he's still active, but I haven't kept up with him. ANd supposedly that double neck Lucite violin weighs a TON! 2. Zappa DOES play on this album.

My younger brother bugged me to teach him the game, so I explained the basic moves to him and no strategy hints. Naturally, I beat him, having given him such little training. And I made the fatal mistake of rubbing his face in it. He got so mad, he played 3 games against himself the same afternoon. From the next day onward, I couldn't take him in a game. He played tournaments in high school and for while was 3rd ranked in his age group in the state. He gave it up when the people got too wired for him (or so he said).

I don't know where this story comes from, but Fat Mattress is definitely a post-Experience thing (as far as Noel Redding is concerned). They did one more album in 1970 surprisingly called 'II'. The late great Chas Chandler's story is that then-guitarist Redding, completely broke, came down to London for an Animals audition. Since the job was just given to Vic Briggs, Chandler offered Redding a vacant spot in a new to form band with an amazingly talented guitar player from the States. Thus Redding became a bass player with Hendrix. They had an option on 2 drummers: Aynsley Dunbar, who came from The Bluesbreakers, and Mitch Mitchell. Mitch won by toss. Ten days later they opened for French singer Johnny Hallyday at the Paris Olympia. >Any one >else have any great memories (or favorite albums) from that period of time? Although I was only 10 in 1968, I listened to a lot of 'grown-up stuff' 'cause of my 8 years older brother, who was a drummer in a local "Beat'n Blues" group. He introduced me to lots of great off-main stream music (before I went on exploring the musical univers of the seventies on my own): Vanilla Fudge, Cream, John Mayall, Pretty Things, JR Walker & the All Stars, Geno Washington & the Ram Jam Band, Gun, BS&T, Yardbirds, Pink Floyd, Byrds, Them, Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Simon Dupree & the Big Sound (!), Procol Harum, Traffic, Jethro Tull, Move, Moodies, Fairport Convention, Jimi Hendrix, the Stax & Motown stuff, etc etc. I guess I owe my brother more than one. >Disreali Gears and Wheels of Fire by Cream are 2 more favorites, along with >Bee Gee's Odessa. My favourite albums of that period are: 'John Mayall Plays John Mayall/Live at the Klooks Kleek' 'John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers w/Eric Clapton' 'A Hard Road' (John Mayall/Peter Green/Aynsley Dunbar/John McVie) 'Road Runner' - JR Walker & The All Stars 'Revolver' & 'Sgt Pepper' & 'Magical Mystery Tour' - ..eh..

Dave Sr.mature student >> Dave, while I will agree that the punchstat numbers agree with your assessment, I have to say that Oscar didn't end that fight like the champion that he is. He had the fight all but won, and he stopped throwing effective punches the last 4 rounds and was running like a fool. The only way he could have lost that fight without getting knocked down was to do exactly what he did the last 4 rounds. Even if he lands a few more punches than Trinidad he'd still lose those rounds because he made it look like he wanted no part of a fight, so even if the round is close he loses because Trinadad's effective aggressiveness. At times during the end Oscar's arms were flailing and his mouth was wide open and he gave everyone a LOOK of a beaten fighter surviving a fight. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, HE WAS CLEARLY WINNING THE FIGHT!!! I thought it was a terrible tactical error by Oscar and his corner. I was yelling "Oscar, if you could only see yourself!"...It was a shame that he lost like that because he's a true champion. It hurt him in the eyes of the judges that he did what he did at the end, he just ran too much for the punches he did land to count. Earlier he was dancing, but it was a controlled dance with well timed flurries that were hard and crisp. In the end he LOOKED like he was trying to get away, and his flurries had lost their sting as Tito was walking thru them. I truly feel sorry for Oscar because when they fought he was a far better fighter, but there's no way a judge will score in the favor of a fighter that's running to that extreme, even if he's not really getting hit. If the fix was really on I would have thought it would have been a draw, because while the odds were even on the fighters, it was 7 to 1 for a draw. Either way I think there is a big money rematch in the making, maybe two. I hope Ike Quartey gets a shot at Trinidad though because I thought he fought Oscar BETTER than Trinidad did in losing to De La Hoya! His problem was that Oscar rose to the occasion and stole the fight with some last round heroics, almost stopping Quartey. Other than that Ike gave him a great battle and might have won. That was the De La Hoya that needed to show up for the last round of this fight. I'm sorry for Oscar and his fans, but he'll be back!

Normally Oscar would have been given the nod in this stuation. I have yet to watch the fight a second time, but I agree with Neil...Oscar lost the fight in the last couple of rounds. Notice I didn't say Tito Won the fight. Later, mammie. ------------------------------ End of on-reflection-digest V1 #1872 ************************************
