From guildensterncallsheads at yahoo.com Sat Oct 6 05:02:28 2007 From: guildensterncallsheads at yahoo.com (guildenstern heads) Date: Sat Oct 6 05:02:32 2007 Subject: [joe-frank-list] Show question - collecting bottle caps In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <123968.37976.qm@web58306.mail.re3.yahoo.com> Hi, I just joined the list, been a JF fan since the mid 80s. I used to record all his shows and I still take them out and listen. Anyway, there was a show I heard only a part of in the 80s that I'd like to find. The part I heard was about recollections of being a child in Long Island (I think) for the summer, and he talked of a bottle cap collection he buried in his yard, playing sword fighting, and other ways he passed the time. I figure it must be from the "WBAI and NPR Playhouse" selection listed at the JFWiki. http://jfwiki.org/index.php/WBAI_and_NPR_Playhouse The only one there that sounds like it could be the one I want is "Long Island Memories" from the "Rare Early Joe Frank Stories from NPR Playhouse" page. http://jfwiki.org/index.php/Rare_Early_Joe_Frank_Stories_from_NPR_Playhouse I don't recognize the description there but I did not hear the whole show. I have the part I heard on tape (or had, because I can't locate it at the moment). joefrank.com has the collection called "Shows produced between 1978 and 1984" which corresponds to the Wiki list, but does not include "Rare Early Joe Frank Stories" or "Long Island Memories." So, my questions are, does anybody know what show I'm talking about? And is it available anywhere? Thanks. --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter.

Unfortunately, it doesn't feel like it has an end to it (in the traditional sense.) He looks into the beer bottle, sees the reflection of the mirror which reflects his back. That's fine with me. But after doing a little googling, I found a reference to The Box--Part 2 on Joe's website. Is there a continuation. Is there something more? Something that feels like an ending? Or is there simply just another show called The Box? Or is the beer bottle where it ends?

It may have been better than the show I saw him perform in Costa Mesa several years ago but very different. I hope there is a recording of this somewhere. I am assuming so. It would be a shame not to have one. As mentioned Joe had a full backing band that was made up of virtuoso jazz musicians who played repetitive ostinatos just like the radio show. I was struck that a band with (I think) 6 talented players would have such great dynamic interplay with Joe to create such a low key backdrop most of the time and then swell into a brief, louder passage on cue when Joe would stop talking (just like the radio show). Certainly Lenny the pawn shop owner who soloed uncontrollably at every opportunity would not have fit in to this band. The content was classic Joe Frank like what you hear on the radio show. I haven't heard all of Joe's shows by any means but some of it was classic stories like the one about him getting seduced by the man in the Caribbean while on vacation with his family. The first story was about an affair the narrator had with a nurse from Mt. Shasta and since there was an internet chat room and viagra mentioned in the story, this seems like it is possibly a new story to me (at least since the KCRW days that I am familiar with). The narrator of this story also talked about his son and daughter and I don't think I've heard Joe talk about that before, but of course I don't really know if it was about Joe himself (or if it ever is, etc.) THere were some repeated "chorus" refrains that Joe spoke rhythmically and monotonously (not quite singing them). Sometimes a couple of the backing band members would join in unison. I don't think I can recall anything in the radio shows I've heard where he does this either. It made me think of "beatniks" for some reason that I can't really explain. At the end a really soulful lady joined him and sang a few choruses about a "blue room" which was a great ending. She had a great voice and improvised really soulfully around the theme. Again, I assume that someone got this on tape... I'd love to know where I can hear it again. --Mike Hurst-- ----------------------------------------> Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 16:39:34 -0700> From: ghastly_fop@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [joe-frank-list] Things online reminding me of Joe Frank> To: joe-frank-list@armory.com>> I'd love to hear more about the contents of the> performance!
