I have a Treat Her Right cd (did they just put out the one?). Beth,
contact me and I'll see if I can find it. Funny enough I bought it at
the same time I got an early cd w/er, whassisname from Sparklehorse when
he was in another band.
Speaking of Morphine...this CHRIS HARFORD guy I've been raving about
recently was in a band w/Dana Coley called THREE COLORS. I'm probably
going to order their ep's from Chris. His website is
www.chrisharford.com (nice guy!).

ps. Liz Phair: once made me so very happy now she's making me very sad.

"Cathy's Clown". Not bad, Brian.
After consulting the link to the Menziesera webpage that contains
the British and Aussie #1's as well as the top hits stateside, I discovered
that my UK birthday song was "Well, I Ask You" by Eden Kane, and my birthday
song Down Under was "I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door" by Eddie Hodges.
Knowing nothing about either singer, much less the songs in
question, I did a little web research. Turns out that Eden Kane (real name
Richard Sarstedt) was an early-sixties British teen idol in the Cliff
Richard mold who later became a cabaret singer in Vegas and now lives in
L.A., where his sister-in-law is American TV actress Stefanie Powers and his
next-door neighbor is Smokey Robinson. He's apparently had a few walk-on
American TV roles, including *Dynasty* and one of the *Star Trek* series,
but at this point he's still basically unknown to the American public.
Eddie Hodges, it turns out, was an American child actor of some
renown in the sixties. He appeared in some movies that I've actually seen,
including *Advise and Consent*, *A Hole In the Head*, the Elvis Presley
vehicle *Live a Little, Love a Little*, and the Michael Curtiz version of
*The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn*, as well as such TV shows as *The Lucy
Show*, *Gunsmoke*, *The Dick Van Dyke Show*, and *Family Affair*. He had
four singles that charted in the U.S. between 1961 and 1965, of which "I'm
Gonna Knock On Your Door" was the highest at #12. Apparently, his music went
over bigger in Australia. Like a lot of child actors from earlier eras, he
vanished from the public eye completely after 1968 or so.
Now that that's cleared up, I'd like to hear the songs themselves.

There's a Rhino disc that's still in print and has most everything you
would need, including his version of "From Me To You." If you dig that,
check out THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF CHARLES WESTOVER (his real name) from
1968, one of the few really credible post-psych records made by an early
'60s rocker.
>
>early death on del..?? car crash? suicide??
Not so much early -- I think he was well into his 50s -- but he did commit
suicide in 1990. There's been speculation that it was caused by a bad
reaction to Prozac or a similar antidepressant that he had been taking, an
unfortunately uncommon side effect of over-prescribed mood elevators.

Message-ID: <7b.149d41a8.2c328cd7@aol.com>
I have a client with whom I am finishing a movie soundtrack with, after
which, he would like to take his band on tour, specifically Japan, and
possibly
parts of Europe.
I have not ever toured with any band abroad, and have no contacts or
knowledge of doing such a gig. Has anybody on this list done this, and have
any tips,
pointers, pitfalls, or contacts they can pass on that I can forward to him?
I will probably accompany him as producer/keyboard dude...
Much appreciated!

Correct....which is why, according to her, she COULDN'T make that first
album a big pop-oriented rock record.

Which suited the needs of the label at the time.

Thank God....but. now there are TWO Avril Lavigne's.
I've been curious about this story from a media perspective only. I
otherwise wouldn't give Liz Phair the time of day....either as an indie
media darling or in her new role as corporate schill.
