(wasn't sure if this should be a posting to MV or not ..... redirect if you feel it's appropriate.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK FOLLIES - The Classic 1970's TV Drama starring Julie Covington, Charlotte Cornwell and Rula Lenska.

Pete advised us a couple of weeks ago -- in fact he emailed me earlier, but the message didn't get through. I can't do better than quote Pete Atkin: >>>>> Yes, I'm afraid Mike H collapsed with a massive heart attack and died outside Holborn tube station Wednesday morning last week [that would have been June 17th - S]. His funeral was the day before yesterday [24th]. He was the same age as me. He was a really good friend, one of the select band you just subconsciously count on being there, one of the ones you'd turn to first if you were in trouble. Couldn't afford to lose him. After his coming up to Monyash last year, he was going to be bringing a whole bunch of family and friends this year, including Barry and Jenny Brown. I suspect they'll all still come and the trip will now be a celebration for him instead of with him. Denis Norden ended his funeral eulogy for Frank Muir with a good quote from Saml Johnson on the death of a friend: "Howsoevermuch I valued him while he was alive, I now wish I had valued him more." It's made all us lot realise what an important kindness it would be to plan our own funeral services in advance. So it goes. As Nanci Griffith says "Love one another - it works" <<<<< Mike was one of the small party who came along to meet Pete here the night before Monyash 97. He arrived on his motorcycle, and stayed in (I think) a YHA hostel nearby. He taught at the LSE and headed their Centre for Research on the USA. He was one of Pete and Clive's Footlight's set, and, along with Barry Brown, Julie Covington and Alan Sizer, was involved in some of the earliest things Pete did at Cambridge. Several of our number will miss him deeply. See http://www.dragonfire.net/~sbirkill/upc16.gif - Mike is top left. Mike's LSE page is at http://www.lse.ac.uk/index/experts/crusa/hodgesm.htm Steve ============================================================================== From: Cary <email address> Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 22:23:49 +0000 Subject: MV1257 Re: MV1255: Mike Hodges Can I add this to my last message which seemed a little stark when I re-read it. I have a great memory from Monyash last year, of a bike roaring up to Dale House Farm, on the Friday night, and an apparition in Black appearing. He had quite a presence which I'm sure will be missed by his friends and family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK FOLLIES - The Classic 1970's TV Drama starring Julie Covington, Charlotte Cornwell and Rula Lenska.

Ian (MV1108) - nice point about the saxes, but, no, it wasn't anything deliberate, certainly no kind of lyrical scheme. The tenor in Wristwatch was certainly a bit of illustrative literalism, and it would have been a bit perverse if the Sessionman sax had been anything other than a tenor or a baritone (in practice quite an unusual pair of instruments to double, though), but the tenor in Perfect Moments is definitely perverse, at least from a literalistically illustrative point of view, since Charlie Parker played alto almost exclusively; there is a tiny handful of recordings of him on tenor but they're comparatively insignificant. So no plans to complete the set - which, as well as soprano (I personally would have listed Johnny Hodges, Sydney Bechet, and Steve Lacy ahead of Coltrane anyway) ought really to include also at least bass sax (Adrian Rollini) and C melody sax (Frankie Trumbauer) and possibly contra-bass sax and the very horrible sopranino. but, like I say, no plans. Dave (MV1169) - No, I didn't feel the need to translate the Crimson Tide, perhaps mainly because in my smug arrogance I knew what it was/is, but more because I don't think you need to know precisely what's being referred to in order to understand what's going on in the song. Arising from which, here's one for you all: I've said before a time or two that I often didn't ask Clive about the meaning of specific references in the lyrics, and that's true. I certainly understand a lot more of them since the inauguration of the MVs, but I confess freely that there are still one or two that I couldn't explain to you. When I recorded them there were a lot more. Anybody have any suspicions of where I didn't actually know what it was I was singing about? On the subject of what I might wish I'd done differently... if I started there might be no end. What pleasures I get from listening to my own records - which I do only very, very rarely, and usually for quite specific detailed reasons - are probably entirely unrelated to the way anybody else listens to them. For the most part, I hear nothing but the things I wish I'd done differently. I'm loth to list them though, one of my reasons being the one someone (sorry, I've forgotten who) pointed out, namely that the things I myself am embarrassed (or whatever) by may turn out to be someone else's favourite bit. It's true that I was up against tight budgets all the time, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that was creatively helpful at least as often as it was restricting. Besides, a lot of what I might have heard in my head I was technically incapable of achieving then anyway, even if I'd had the necessary budgets. More than that, a lot of the ideas I might have now would never have occurred to me then. For instance (and I've no particular songs in mind here) the kind of sound that Bruce Hornsby gets - not that I think his songs, much as I like many of them, have much in common with ours - specially on the drums and with his use of acoustic piano inside a rock context, is something I always feel I could have made use of, as opposed to my own rather unconvincing attempts at heaviness. But that would still have been someone else's answer. . But I will own up to uncomfortable feelings at the multi-harmony ending to Prince of Aquitaine. I know what I heard in my head, but I didn't know how to make it work. It's the kind of thing you rather depend on your producer to point out is not working. It's late and I'm rambling. Must be adrenalin overflow from the World Cup final. Be good to each other.

I recently lent my mate Dave my copy of the cd re-release of the first two albums - sorry, I find the acronyms tiresome and it always takes me ages to work out which songs/albums are being referred to - and I must admit to feeling envious of him. Imagine coming across those songs for the first time. Oh well, the World Cup's over, the only thing to look forawrd to now is arsenal away on 17 august on Sky, oh, and Buxton. Andy ============================================================================== From: Cary <email address> Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 07:41:47 +0000 Subject: MV1260 Re: MV1256; MV1255: Mike Hodges > and stayed in (I think) a YHA hostel nearby. Mike in fact stayed on the campsite up the road where I did and I had the pleasure of a Sunday morning talk with him.

I suspect songs like the latter must have given him bafflement when confronted with the words to set. Ian C ============================================================================== From: Ian Chippett <email address> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 04:55:20 EDT Subject: MV1262: Monyash The other day while I was listening to my Monyash C.D.s it occurred to me that there were no sleeve notes, something I always love to read whilst listening to music. Why not, I thought, prepare some for ourselves? They could be distributed to those of us who were wise enough to have bought the albums in the first place or indeed to those of us who weren't. I wouldn't mind doing a few of them and it might keep my mind off missing Buxton. And I'm sure it would occupy all the academics amongst us who might otherwise be loafing around on the beach during the long vacation... 8-) Just a thought. Ian ============================================================================== Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 05:26:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Leslie Moss <email address> Subject: MV1263: Suggestions please I'm going to Eastbourne for Pete's concert on August 5th and I am trying to persuade an old work colleague who lives down there to come along too. I suggested that I send him a tape with half a dozen of Pete's songs, to give him a feel, and to attempt to sway him in favour. He's 52, the very antithesis of a computer nerd and no great fan of 'modern' music, but he's a very gentle soul and I have emphasised the literate and subtle nature of the songs. Question is, which songs to put on the tape? Suggestions please!

If he doesn't like them, there's no hope. But you must be persistent. It was only last Sunday after forced listenings of my home-made cassette over 6 months every time we took the car that I overheard Madame whistling BOTBS in the garden. Ian C ============================================================================== Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 22:04:13 +0100 From: John N L Morrison <email address> Subject: MV1267 Re: Digest: Midnight Voices week 43 (MV1190-1218) In message MV1214, S J Birkill <email address> writes >Thanks Lynn. Anyone wanting to discover more about the references in >"Prince of Aquitaine" and "Shadow and the Widower" might like to check out >the early weeks of our dialogues, in the Web Digest -- there's quite a bit >about de Nerval. In particular weeks 7, 8, 13 and 14: Back from holiday and a few grey cells twitch... Without checking back on the references, did they refer to the wonderful Donald Swann version of "Je Suis Le Tenebreux" - "I am the shadowed one..." in the Flanders and Swann LP "At The Drop of a Hat"? An extraordinarily louche (for Donald) version) of the poem, complete with whoops. I shall quote from John Amis' slightly twee sleeve note from the reissue: "Gerard de Nerval remembered mostly, as MF says in his intro, by the legend that he used to take a lobster for a promenade on the boulevards....This sonnet is as full of allusions as "The Waste Land"....The whole poem is a "tangled web" and untranslatable, as MF says, but full of wonderful imagery, words and rhythms. With a tarot pack and a classical dictionary you could spend a happy month unravelling this sonnet, which draws from DS a lovely tune in his E major key of tenderness (cg "Misalliance" and "Armadillo"); he adds his own glossolalia or eulaia by whoops....Donald says he is still discovering further meanings and allusions in this sonnet....wondering if he was the King of Cyprus, Lusignan, or the dancing Biron of French folklore - nothing to do, incidentally, with the other Byron...." So there you have it - a direct connection to "Have You Got A Biro I can Borrow"... Incidentally, anyone who likes PA & CJ would probably love Flanders and Swann, even 20-30 years on - they've both passed on now, but is there a homepage....? I must check. -- John N L Morrison ============================================================================== From: "andy and lynn" <email address> Subject: MV1268 Re: MV1263: Suggestions please Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 00:37:49 +0100 modern?, Contemporary?

In fact I know I'm not the only one as Ian C. has sent a similar message. Are these songs (and the others missing) particularly difficult to transcribe - in which case, is ease-of-trascription some interesting musical indicator worth discussing? Can't some of you chaps with wonderful ears treat their difficulty as a challenge? Or Pete, can't you put everyone out of their misery? S ============================================================================== From: Dave Jones <email address> Subject: MV1270: Rogues Gallery at Buxton ? Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 09:26:04 -0400 Hi all, Earlier I joshingly threatened to send a full size cutout of Star Trek's Mr. Worf to stand in for me at the Buxton Opera House reception, since the buses from Rochester NY to Buxton are unreliable at best. Joking aside, it occurs to me that those of us who are unable to make the concert and reception might well send along, say, a picture and a handwritten note. I'm sure Steve would be able to put these on display at the reception. The picture I would choose would be one of me banging a borrowed Telecaster at my first, and most likely only, public performance (OK, it was the company picnic). Maybe that picture is a symbol of my secret desires, I dunno. It feels like the right one to send as a good luck gesture to Pete, Clive and the MV's. Anyway, a collection of similarly meaningful snapshots on display at the reception would add something to this virtual community of ours. Steve might even feel inspired to add the pix to the website later.... Regarding guitar chords, I have a partial set for "You can't expect to be remembered", mostly lifted from the Monyash video, but lacking the intro section. I haven't worked on them for a while but I could try a little harder and send my efforts to anyone interested. Feel free to contact me directly, people.

He's got a couple of London club gigs lined up, as well as the usual festivals. Brent's records can also now be ordered in the UK -- see the same page for details.

You can't expect to be remembered, but I think it's a terrific idea to have such a gallery if Steve could be persuaded to put it on show. It's one thing reading all your thoughts, but it would be great to be able to put a face to some of the MV's who can't be at Buxton. (I remember - Leslie was it? - who wrote in to say that he listens to PA tapes on the London Metropolitan Line sometimes. As a daily Met Line man myself, I often lean rather too close for comfort to people listening to Walkmans (Walkmen?) on the journey, just in case it's him.) And by the way, today's U.K. national newspaper The Independent carried a splendid puff for the Buxton gig on their listings page concluding with the sentence: '...and this is a welcome chance to enjoy a one-off evening of songs and acerbic humour, courtesy of Pete and Clive.' At this rate there'll be ticket touts outside the hall, muttering ' Spare tickets, buy or sell, spare tickets...'

SJB ============================================================================== From: Richard Corfield <email address> Subject: MV1277: Flyposting Libel Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 18:49:54 +0100 (BST) Today was a bit of a red letter day... A friend saw the Buxton flyer I posted in a local hostelry (The Nut Tree, Murcott, Oxon). "Pete Atkin? I'm sure I've got one of his albums..." This morning I had a call - "'Live Libel' sound familiar?" "Yes indeed," said I. "You're a fan?" "Err - just a bit," said I, "Do you want it?" "Yes indeed!" said I. So, to cut a long story short, I now own a copy of LL that has alledgedly been played only once (before today!) I went out there ready to part with serious cash but he wouldn't take any money for it. Said is was more important to him that it had gone to a good home... Anyhow Steve - is the MV archive copy of LL in good shape? I'd be very happy to lend it for a CD-Recording if need be. I've listened to it once, to make a copy for the car, and I'd have to say that it isn't perfect. But it *is* a good recording (a few pops and a little modulation noise on Stranger in Town and Rattlesnake Rock) So, that's my story, All the very best, Richard C. (Not wearing a gun with a filed sight in Oxfordshire) ============================================================================== From: Richard Corfield <email address> Subject: MV1278: Camping at Eastbourne? Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1998 08:13:15 +0100 (BST) Dear MV's, I'm planning to camp overnight after Pete's gig on the 5th. Does anyone know of a good campsite within walking distance of the pub where he's playing? Many thanks, Richard C (Soon to be en route to a border town they call Eastbourne) ============================================================================== Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1998 03:42:31 -0400 From: Peter Bushby <email address> Subject: MV1279 Re: MV1263 Suggestions please I'm not sure you'd need the same selection to attract as those already committed find most rewarding...... I'd suggest: Carnations On The Roof, Faded Mansion On A Hill, Practical Man, King At Nightfall, The Man Who Walked Towards The Music, SessionMan's Blues. Let us know what you did choose and why! - and whether it worked. Cheers, Peter. ============================================================================== Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1998 13:57:50 +0100 From: S J Birkill <email address> Subject: MV1280: (various) Re MV1262: Monyash (Ian Chippett) Yes, good idea -- let's have some MV-generated sleeve notes for the CD. Re MV1263: Suggestions please (Leslie Moss) I agree with Peter Bushby's comment (MV1279) that what attracts us to the music at first isn't necessarily that which we'd choose as a long-term favourite. There's room for an 'instant appeal' list, though it might well turn into a family of lists, with exposee's age and musical/literary background as a parameter. Re MV1270: Rogues Gallery at Buxton ? (Dave Jones) Must admit I was looking forward to placing your cardboard cut-out at the entrance to our reception. But yes, if any enforced absentee cares to send a photo, message, poster or waxwork dummy of themselves, I'll be glad to give it a prominent position at the MVs' reception. I intend also to include a name space on the reception tickets, so those wishing to overcome anonymity may display it and advertise their identities, without having to go around asking 'who are you?', 'are you Dave Jones?', 'didn't I see you on the Metropolitan Line?' or 'I'm .....' I'm conscious also of a desire to make welcome the less gregarious of our members, who might like to join our gathering but fear they'll be the outsider among an anorak of Atkin-nerds. Nothing could be further from the truth! I estimate perhaps 10 of our members will recognise each other, and I'll not readily identify many more. And any anoraks will be left at the door. Besides the regular posters to this group there's the large majority who prefer to say nowt, but might like some low-key social contact with like-minded others. So far we've signed up a total of exactly 50 members and guests for the reception (tickets will be sent out soon), so we have 20 places spare. So any ditherers, please, don't be put off by thinking it'll be some kind of old boys' reunion! Re MV1275: Brent Mason - Album review (Graham Stibbs) I'd appreciate a copy or text of the review if possible, Graham, for Brent's page here. Re MV1277: Flyposting Libel (Richard Corfield) Thanks for thinking of me, Richard. In fact we do have pretty good DATs of all the albums now, in case the master tapes disappear and we're ever called upon to remaster for CD! But perhaps there are members out there with spare copies of any of the albums that they'd like to offer for sale to Voices with gaps in their collection? MV Web Digest: Sorry the updating has slipped in recent weeks - pressure of work I'm afraid. Latest available digest is Week 39, MV1081-1103, at http://www.rwt.co.uk/mvdig039.htm . I intend to bring things right up to date before Buxton. Incidentally you'll see in the previous line I spaced the full stop (period, dot) after 'htm' - without the space some e-mail programs highlight the link but pass it on to the browser with the dot in place, resulting in a '404, file not found' message. So the member looking for Brent's tour dates (MV1271) please try again at http://www.rwt.co.uk/brent98.htm New Members: I'd like to welcome to the fold new MVs Steve Grantham, Linda Whitaker, Andy Love and Rob Miller. Steve has contributed already, a short narrative based on the "Sessionman's Blues" lyric, see http://www.rwt.co.uk/sesblues.htm That's it for now - best wishes to all -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Digest week 46 (12.07.98, MV1255-1280) ends | index | prev | next |Pete Atkin Home | Discography | Julie Covington | Audio Clips | Visitors' Comments | Join Midnight VoicesThe discussion forum for fans of Pete Atkin and Clive James, their works and collaborators on stage, TV, disc and in print.Midnight VoicesMidnight Voices, the Pete Atkin and Julie Covington Websites are operated and maintained by Steve Birkill
