Police say the tragedy occurred as the Gratzfeld College band was rehearsing the spirited American jazz classic, "When the Saints Go Marching In." According to other band members, trombonist Peter Niemeyer, 19, "got carried away" with the music. He started gyrating and thrashing around as he played. At one point, he jerked for- ward and the rounded metal slide on his instrument hit trumpet player Dolph Mohr, 20, dropping him instantly to the floor. "Niemeyer was pumping the slide very hard," said medical exam- iner Dr. Max Krause. "But it wasn't just the force of the blow that killed Mohr. "The slide struck him in the worst possible place--the vulnerable spot just behind and below the left ear. "Bone fragments pierced his brain, killing him instantly." The incident has provoked a storm of controversy over whether or not American jazz should be played in German colleges. "I believe the music is to blame," said Gratzfeld band director Heinrich Sommer. "I was pressured to play that selection by school administrators. But I've always said jazz is dangerous music, "Our musicians can't control themselves when they play it. They move and rock back and forth, creating chaos. If I had my way, American Dixieland would be outlawed in Germany. I've been directing bands for 30 years and I've never heard of any- one dying while playing a German march." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 09:33:08 EDT From: ClayWalk@aol.com Subject: SNZ video << Subject: Re: SNZ Video >> There is also a 25 minute documentary that I made on the band back in '96 for the release of "Hot." It is titled "Squirrel Nut Zippers Musical Candy." It focuses largely on the bands' history and the recording of "Hot." Most of it was split up into the "Hot" CD-ROM but it exists as a stand alone piece. It has shown at a couple of film festival type things. The label sent out about 1000 or so to use as a promotional item for "Hot." It got chopped up into little video clips all over the place. I always felt like it kind of got squashed by the label because they weren't interested in distributing it after so much work was put into it. clay w. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 11:41:00 EDT From: "Mike Judd" Subject: SNZ video This video was a promotion given out free to the first 50 or 100 (I forget) people to buy PF at Best Buy. The interviews are from, what looks like, backstage at the concert. The problem I had with the tape is that Mammoth was so cheap that they it is on SLP so the quality isn't that great. I mean the thing is only 30 minutes and it was a limited release, couldn't they splurge a bit. I guess I'm just a bit bitter because I should be listening to Tom's album by now....

Is there anything lately that HASN'T been squashed by "the label"? Radio stations no longer play SNZ - at all - and MTV apparently won't play the Stephen Foster video (although I can't say I've watched it round the clock to find out). I think sabotage of their own artists (certainly from a marketing standpoint) ought to be grounds for cancellation of the remaining contract.

And if there was a fight it was most likely started by the trumpeter...thats just the way most of us are (not me though). _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Since Kenny's last post, I haven't seen anything said by anyone about Mammoth dropping tom from their roster. What's going on here? I have seen his CD advertised no where, and no one knows anything about it. As we all should know it was supposed to be out on Tuesday, and still... nothing. Any one know anything i don't?

I'm new to this digest and wanted to introduce myself properly (takes a bow...). Anyways, I was listening to Christmas Caravan while I was drawing one night and I left it playing after the last song. After a while, it started playing the original version of Hanging Up My Stockings by Chester Church. Did anyone else notice this. Its kinda neat.

I was playing this at a friend's house and when that old version came on it scared her half out of her wits (she thought it was over and went into the kitchen). She said it "sounds like some old drunk outside the window". I never knew who the original recording was made by... since it is uncredited... how did you find out?
