Saw Kate's questions "3 is a Magic Number" & the subsequent response about "Multiplication Rock" and thought I'd throw in a bit more illumination on the subject. "Multiplication Rock" is 1 of 4 or 5 parts of "Schoolhouse Rock", a series of cartoons originally shown on ABC in America in the '70's, and are now embraced, for better or worse, by American twentysomethings. The principal songwriter/contributor was Bob Dorough, truly one of the coolest people ever to grace God's green earth. What most Schoolhouse Rock fans generally don't know is that Dorough's career spans back to the 50's (check out his recently released CD "Devil May Care" from like '59), recorded a couple of songs with Gil Evans & Miles, and just recently released a great new album on Blue Note. Seems to me that Dorough would be right up the alley of a lot of B&S fans ... in a similiar vein, there's Blossom Dearie (she sang on "Figure Eight", "Unpack Your Adjectives", etc) ... she's still going, as well, and is just as amazing. A few URL's to check out are: www.angelfire.com/ny/blossomdearie genxtvland.simplenet.com/SchoolHouseRock/ polyholiday.com/guide/D/dorough.html polyholiday.com/guide/V/science.html And while I'm posting for once, had to announce that thanks to a kind soul on the list, I finally got a tape copy of "Tigermilk". Truly awesome ... thanks for spreading the gospel ... me can't wait for the new stuff. Now, back to the shadows ... RPB ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
