Not to take anything away from the lovely and talented Mr. Ekeberg, but I believe Homer Jethro made use of the word in one or another of their pieces related to their Kellogg's Corn Flakes ads, and I'm pretty sure it was also used at least occasionally on Hee Haw. H J released an album on Guest Star records in 1963 titled "Don't Be Cornfused". -jp
Re: No Twang, lots of stories -- Al Kooper 6th
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The twang content would be that he produced the Shaver album "Tramp on your Street" in 1993. What a 40-year career he's had! From writing the insipid "Who Wants to Buy This Diamond Ring" for Gary Lewis the Playboys in 1965, his late '60s recordings with the Blues Project, to the inspired organ part on Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man". John, Is that who R.S. Field is on the CD credits? Interesting... He has a WEB page with other dates listed, you may want to check it out, he's been touring for the past 6mos. k. Sorry! should have checked before I fired off the email. Kooper did not produce the "Tramp" album, but he did play organ and piano on it. Thanks, -jp

Anything from from 9mm to 5 inch. ANd I'm fucking nuts. Feel better about your tax money? May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today.
Re: the fifth beatle/Delbert McClinton
The story I heard was that Delbert the Beatles were touring England together (don't remember which was opening for which), and Delbert taught Lennon the opening harp riff for "Love Me Do". -jp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 1/18/99 12:11:01 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: My father was touring in Europe and Britain around the same time the Beatles were blazing their trail (60-63) and he says that Lennon was playing the harmonica long before McClinton supposedly taught him. Whether or not McClinton is being totally truthful about the situation or if the story has just taken on some extrapolated details is up in the air. It sounds like an urban legend to me. Slim Yeah, if the story is that McClinton taught Lennon *how* to play harmonica, then it's not true. Delbert says in several interviews I've read that he taught Lennon how *he* played the harmonica, which makes more sense. I'm guessing JL had been honking around on the harp for a while before they met. Who knows / cares, right? It's a great story either way. Kinda gives us the right to say those limey bastards wouldn't have set the bar so high for Garth if it hadn't been for the American RRers who showed 'em how to do it.g Joe X.
