I'd love to get one if it's available, and will gladly paypal or mail the bucks as soon as I hear from either of you. I just didn't jump in because I want Happy to have plenty of discs for those who actually make it to the show. I'd be there if it were possible, but it ain't gonna happen this week. . . And, of course, if I can't get a disk, I at least want the usual brilliant and heartfelt reviews that have become a staple of ecto. ^_^ Ted Delorme n.p. Band Ohne Namen n.r.

I really like it, and want to buy a copy (and some more by the artist). Only one problem: I don't know what it is. I wrote down the artist as "St. Germain," and the CD has 11 tracks: Track 01 5:59 Track 02 6:24 Track 03 7:27 Track 04 5:39 Track 05 3:50 Track 06 7:25 Track 07 5:48 Track 08 10:22 Track 09 7:05 Track 10 8:31 Track 11 10:11 One problem, though: none of the St. Germain CDs I can find online (allmusic.com, hmv.ca, hmv.co.uk, hmv.co.jp, etc.) have this tracklist. The artist's web site is some flash-based monstrosity and low on information.

The great diversity of musical traditions he found among the Jews living in the region led to the creation of his monumental musicological collection, Thesaurus of Hebrew Oriental Melodies. Idelsohn examined the traditional melodies of Hebrew music from Jewish centers throughout the world, and found recurring motives and progressions that were not found in any other national music. This suggested a common origin for these musical phrases that went back to Israel/Palestine in the first century c.e., prior to the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans and the Jewish Exile. He found that these motives fell into three distinct tonal centers, which corresponded to the Dorian, Phrygian, and Lydian modes of the ancient Greeks. Each of these modes elicited a distinct psycho-emotional response. The Dorian Mode tetrachord was used for texts of an elevated and inspired nature; the Phrygian for sentimental texts, with their very human outbreaks of feeling, both of joy and grief; and the Lydian was used in composing music for the texts of lamenting and confessions of sins. Idelsohn further categorized and defined these motives as ones that either prepared a musical phrase, began it, or conluded it. In the hopes of creating an echo of first-century authenticity on this recording, the melodies for the Dead Sea Scrolls text and the prayers and sayings of Jesus were carefully composed using the motives and melodic fragments collected by Idelsohn. It is very likely these sacred texts and prayers were chanted and sung, as that is the both the Jewish and Middle Eastern tradition. Singing, chanting, and breathing the sounds of a prophet's words not only allows us to feel the meaning of these words at a deeper, embodied level, but it also connects us to the conciousness of the prophet who spoke them. The remaining pieces on the recording (with the exception of the "Song of Seikilos," B'tseth Israel, and Bircath Cohenim) come directly from Idelsohn's collection. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 14:53:58 -0500 From: "foghornj" Subject: RE: CD id help Try going to http://www.freedb.org and searching on 'Germain'. (There's a lot of variation on the "St." part). freedb is the open source replacement for the corporatized CDDB. It lets you browse albums showing tracks and lengths. The burned copy you have could be a compilation from various CDs. At any rate, you get an idea of what else is available by the artist. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 11:11:21 -0500 From: Kosterhaudt@aol.com Subject: Happy Rhodes needs help Apparently, the person who was going to be doing the merchandise for Happy at the Tin Angel, had to cancel at the last minute. If there is anyone who'll be attending the show, who'd be willing to lend a hand in that department, please email me directly. Thanks and I hope you all have a good time.

I'm almost as excited about that! I love trains, always have, and we got an incredible discount on a Deluxe Bedroom sleeper car. It has an outlet so we can watch movies on Chris's laptop, and I can listen to Happy's new CD in lulling, rocking comfort. Meals are included, and the room even has its own private bathroom and shower. Lap'o'lux! I've never even been in a sleeper car, let alone thought I'd ever get to occupy one. It's a mini-thrill (hey, it's the little things in life for us white trash Kansas farm girls). The only reason we're not taking the train round-trip is that I was fearful that a snowstorm or some other unforeseen event would delay the train at some point somewhere along the way, so we decided to fly to Philly. Our house/cat-sitter isn't going to be checking our mail for us, so any communication will have to wait for our return. I'm sure (I hope) brni and others who are going will give an account of the show(s). Andrew McMichael, you're on my list and everything's fine, but my mail to you bounced back to me. What's the deal?
