"The prev. unreleased performances on DUKE'S JOINT show off one of Sir Duke's Hottest bands jammin' live in '45 in front of a studio and broadcast audience. ...

As of Tuesday 8/24/99 it's in full blown release in the US, should be available on cassettes and CD in any major music store. The album is called "A Little Bit of Mambo". It's difficult to figure out where this guy is from... does Latin and Jamaican styles, talks like an American, looks like Billy Dee Williams, dresses like Desi Arnaz... CD issue is from Germany. One thing he's NOT is German... ah well, we're all Earth People today anyway and this produces some very interesting music! ><> > >Sorta like a morph of Sam and Cab Callaway. The fact that 3-4 of the songs on the album have nearly identical rhythm with "Mambo Number 5" is very Sam-ish. Pretty hard to tell "Pharoah-a-Go-Go", "Ju-Ju Hand", "Ring Dang Do" and "Standing Ovation" from "Wooly Bully". Domingo "Sam The Sham" Samudio was another cross-culture artist... a Mexican-American and four west Texan greasers dressed up in fake Egyptian robes riding around in a hearse playing some of the hottest garage stuff of the 60's. I think they once appeared on Ed Sullivan in full costume - no doubt from looking at the pictures what inspired Steve Martin's live performance of "King Tut" on Saturday Night Live. Sam is great party stuff... available on Polydor (greatest hits CD) and there may be a Rhino collection too. As rock music got more "sophisticated" and hard core fans of CSNY and Simon & Garfunkel et. all turned up their noses at head-bashing bands like Sam's, rock drifted from it's roots until brought back to ground zero by the punk movement in the late 1970's... fortunately it has retained some decent diversity since then. BTW, if you want to hear the most honest-to-God rock & roll tune recorded in the 1970's, try 1 minute and 35 seconds of Elvis Costello's "Mystery Dance" from his first album "My Aim Is True".

That's the one and only Lou Bega anything available, although I've bid on the promo CD which contains 5 mixes of "Mambo Number 5"... these are already floating around on the bootleg market.

I invented only one instrument, the Double-Bell Slide Bedside - which consisted of a trombone slide, two trombone bells, and a tubular bed railing. Unfortunately it couldn't make up it's mind what key to play in with two bells at different distances from the leadpipe. Also a bit tough to march with unless you have two helpers.

The best way to play a hose is with a French horn mouthpiece... it seems better suited to the long tubing for some reason. I knew a guy who could play the hose pretty well (majored in French horn in college). Also I have an old record of the Hoffnung Music Festival, featuring among other things Dennis Brain on the garden hose (called a "hosepipe") and Gerard Hoffnung on an 8-foot tall subcontrabass tuba which he claimed had hot & cold water taps on it somewhere. Hoffnung also used rifles, a Hoover floor polisher, and smashed dishes. His version of Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony really has a serious surprise! Hoffnung is mostly remembered as a cartoonist (for the British magazine "Punch") and not as the forbear of Peter Shickele's "PDQ Bach" parodies, many of which are too cerebral to be funny.
