On the enhanced CD footage he is shown playing songs from that album, but in the notes it is somebody else. What's the story? >> Stacy was in the band until several months before they recorded "Hot." Andrew Bird had memorized Stacy's trumpet parts & played with the band filling that hole on the violin. They hired a session player when they recorded "Hot" I had a lot recorded with Stacy and I was pretty adament that I wasn't going to edit him out of the footage that I had shot with the band. I did take him out of the group photo in "Hot" where they are sitting on the steps. That took a while & was a pain.... I'm glad he's in there where he is. I had designed a member screen for him for "Hot" which was taken out but I put it in the "Perennial" ECD in the "Inevitable" section.... This is just my 2 cents worth but I think Sammy Hagar should replace Tom... clay ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:53:13 EDT From: Jazzbug8@aol.com Subject: Re: the-landing-digest V2 #153 i thought you all might be interested in this...billie holiday spent about a year in a womens prison...i caught this on the history channel...it was part of their series the big house....i believe she was convicted of drug charges, but i could be wrong.... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 09:41:34 PDT From: Dave Doll Subject: Words from Tom "What does everybody feel is going to happen to the Zippers now that Tom has left?" I felt, even before Tom left, that if the lawsuit kept dragging on that they might split up and do the side projects, or even reform under a different name. The band by any other name would still swing as sweet, or hot, or whatever. What do you all think of Katharine's Jazz Squad album? I really dig it. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

(Jazz Squad, KnockDown Society, etc...) I say: I was concerned about this too, so i asked Ken. I said that I thought Jim and Kat would be the first to go because of their solo careers. But he told me their names are the ones actually on the contract for this whole deal (like, their names are on the boat) so they aren't going anywhere any time soon. The last word i had from him was that "Jim, Katherine, Chris and I are still in the band!"...i'm assuming Je and Stu are too. what else do they have going for them? ;) I think they will try to record w/o tom...and if their hearts aren't in it, they will stop being a band. Like many great groups before them...The Beatles, Kids in the Hall, Monty Python....maybe they'll quit while they're ahead, instead of making a half-assed album. Not that i WANT them to quit...hell no...but you gotta remember they're people too! they gotta do what feels right. on another note, someone asked if Je had a kid...yes i do believe that I was told by someone before that Je has a kid. In fact when i asked someone what all the Zippers were doing during the hiatus and my friend told me "Je is spending time with his wife and kid" Jess *********************************************************** * --+-READ THE SHRUBBERY-+-- * http://www.theshrubbery.com --New Every Month- -Humor, Music, News and More-- *********************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 16:25:53 PDT From: Ryan Sargent Subject: re: words from tom >I was told by someone before that Je has a kid. In fact when i asked Yeah, Je does have a kid. In his book in the PF cd-rom he talks about spending time at home with his wife and son. He said when he tours he never gets to be home, but when he's not touring he can be home full time. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I guess I won the "Guess Who's Quitting" Contest. Here's why: 1) I didn't know about the contract thing but I'm quite certain that neither Jimbo or Kat would leave SNZ without the other and Ken pointed out that only one member was leaving. 2) Ken, Je, Stu, and Chris, though they have some kick @$$ projects outside SNZ, it's nothing that would warrent leaving the band. Je did give me some trouble for a moment, though, because of the 'kid' posts we've been gettin (but it was just a moment). 3) Tom. I guess he's the last one left. One could make an argument for any of the Zippers (as shown in my early post-breakup e-mails) but that little voice in my head told me it was Tom. Maybe it was the Force... P.S. the 'No Borders' kosovo benefit Cd really kicks. Most prominent kicker is Pearl Jam's 'Last Kiss' stupendous!
