I know that Tom and Ken were touring with Ben Folds Five. And Ben
Folds Five is on Letterman this wednesday...do you think that Tom and

Is that true? I just saw them a week ago and they weren't there. There
was a guy who was with the opening act (Flemming & John)(his name was
John) who came out and played a 30 second solo on their first song with
some weird horn. Also strange, during his actual performance, he had a
trombone that had trumpet keys. Also weird, the guy looked remarkedly
like Tom, but i know it wasn't him. Somehow I doubt with all that is
going on they would be hitting the road...

The latter is a valve trombone. Has the same sound and projection of a
trombone, but the valves allow faster transitions impossible with the
slide. Of course you lose the ability to slide from one note to the next.
Can you describe the "wierd horn" in a bit more detail? Size? Material?
Shape? Type of action (valves, keys, etc).

>list ever try to play SNZ songs???? (what instrument?)
Sure. I started playing sax on account of SNZ. True! First thing I ever
learned was the bari solo from "Put a Lid On It". I've pretty much played
as many songs as I can find a distinct alto or baritone sax part - "Suits",
"Got my Own Thing Now", "Twilight", "Bad Businessman", the alto solo from
"Hell", the melody part from "Memphis Exorcism". Back in Cincinnati last
Sept. Ken even invited me to blow a few licks on his horn... I declined -
I'm still pretty bad now and was worse then :-) I've only been playing sax
since Christmas of '97 but it has been a lot of fun to rediscover music. I
grew up with music - both parents taught music lessons, dad was a former
symphony clarinetist. But since high school I've pretty much just been a
listener (and critic). SNZ changed all that. I still play trombone (as I
did in high school) but I'm very rusty... most of the effort has been sax -
alto, tenor, bari with emphasis on bari.
I've also played Tom's bone solo from "Fascinating Thing" (ain't hard, just
takes a bit of lip building) and Duke's fabulous trumpet solo from "Got my
Own Thing Now" on alto sax (can't get squat out of a trumpet).
Basically I practice my various exercises, my playalong CD of songs and
blues chord lines for improv (what my teacher is mostly having me work on
now) and then end the session with "Play along with Ken".
Surely we've got a guitarist out there who has given a whirl to "Pallin'
with Al" or "Whing Whang" or "Interlocutor".
BTW, I think Ken's Conn bari is still for sale for $1700. I passed on
it... maybe someday I'll buy it if it's still around when I have the $$ for
that kind of souveneer. Most of the CD's were recording using Chris'
brother's old Buescher bari; Ken bought the Conn (70's vintage) for the
tour in late 96 sometime, used it for maybe 6-8 months(?) then they got the
Selmer endorsement and all the new hardware. I play Selmer alto and tenor
(S80 II and III respecitvely, same as Ken & Tom) and a Yanagisawa B990
baritone which blows the current Selmer S80-II bari into the weeds. Ken
said it took a bit of adjusting to get used to the Selmer bari, it sounds
like a clarinet in the upper register (true) but a good player can make the
horn sound his own unique sound. If we get together again I wanted to let
him try my Yanagisawa bari, but he might not want to put it down --- then
they'd lose the Selmer freebies .
Anybody out there tried to chart SNZ tunes? I can chart the licks I know,
but that's about it. Full scoring would be cool, but the band isn't going
to do it... need to find someone with a good ear and lots of experience
charting. In the 20's and 30's guys used to sit in the audience and chart
live performances on the fly, they'd have the sheet music on the stands in
a week!

I'm too dumb to do amination.
So I was in DC the last 2 days. ugh, what a mess. I know what you're
thinking -- No, i'm not in NATO. :P
I saw the Ben Folds Five show at American Univ. (w/BBVD, strangely enough).
Scotty was bowing down to Ben. DAMN STRAIGHT!
Anyway, I was talking to Darren (of BFF) after the show and I brought up
the Zippers (i had to break it to them that i like SNZ more than BFF> but
it's a small margin.) and Darren said "oh they were in DC just yesterday
doing a thing for NPR"....i didn't ask him to elaborate. I don't listen to
NPR but i'm sure someone out there does...I emailed the station but who
knows what i'll get. keep your ears open.
Ryan, I have Andrew on NPR, and so does Dawn. You can trade with her if she
wants to, or i will trade (but i am slow). email one of us.
Oh, and see, Dawn agrees with me. No rude letters to Squirrel Brand. Let
Koby write an inquiry, and then we can shell 'em.

Subject: re: TOM & KEN
John, of Fleming & John, is an absolute SWEETHEART. I love him to death. i
got to meet him and his lovely fleming friday night.
The horn he plays is called a "flugelhorn" (probably misspelled) which is
just like a tumpet but with a larger bore and a mellower sound.
Tom and Ken, as far as I know, are not going to go around with BFF for any
of the tour. They might do a random show here or there. Maybe cleveland cuz
i asked them to ;) I highly doubt they will catch up with BFF on Letterman.
They'll most likely do "army" and the guys have it worked out that Rob and
Darren sing the horn parts. it's lovely. Who knows, tho. Maybe they'll
surprise us :)
April 28 is my birthday, so maybe my birthday wishes will come true and the
Zippers will play with BFF (actually, they'd all have to be on Conan, not
Letterman for me to officially be F*CKING EXCITED)
;)

Subject: Stuff
Happy birthday on Wednesday, Jessica; that also happens to be my
birthday.
I wrote SBC; I am expecting an answer back late this week, or early next
week. I just asked them what the status of the lawsuit was, and what
the grounds were.
Flugelhorns are technically more closely related to the cornets; both
have a conical bore, like French Horns and tubas, as opposed to the
cylindrical bore of trumpets and trombones. Valve trombones tend to be
very stuffy compared to their slide counterparts; they haven't been used
extensively since the early part of this century. (There are advantages
to being a brass music major, like being able to tell people this
stuff.)
Andy: I have done some transcriptions; last year in high school, we did
a spoof of Hell that I thought up for a pep assembly. Transcribing
isn't that hard, but it does take a little practice and a good ear. If
you can pick up on the solos, you have the ear, so just start listening
to different lines and writing them down. Start with something simple
(like Hell) and work up to the more complex stuff. Write me personally
if you want to chat about this more.
That's all from this end.

I've transcribed "Stephen Foster", thats about all i've gotten around
to. One of my teachers bands did a cover of "Hell", and he said that
the trombone player transcribed that. I only wrote down the first
part of that. In the old issue of Windplayer (with Jim, tom, Je, and
Ken) the mag transcribed "flight of the passing fancy" (and put down
which part was played by alto, bari, and trumpet).
Just in case anybody wanted to know, in the latest issue of Downbeat
magazine SNZ has a full page add on the back. Well, it is an add for
selmer/bach horns & SNZ (the SNZ poster off selmers web-page). The
issue also has a big two and a half page article on New Orleans
Klezmer All-Stars.

Well, Maynard Ferguson is a well known trumpeter. He (I think it was
him) invented a valve & slide trumpet called a firebird (a trumpet
with optional slide, like a trombone). He also invented (I think) a
superbone. Which is something like a firebird...i'm not sure though,
i'll check. You should check out Maynard's new cd called BRASS
ATTITUDE. It has a song on there that sounds like its lifted right
from the opening to "Stephen Foster" (and he uses a Flugelhorn,
firebird, and superbone...great song!!!!)
Has anybody heard of a band called CUBANISMO????

with saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera. Robbins wrote and directed the
movie, which is set in 1930s New York and based on the 1937 Orson
Welles play of the same name. John Cusack plays Nelson Rockefeller in
the movie, which also features Hank Azaria, Bill Murray, Joan Cusack,

A superbone is a slide trombone with an additional valve set, and on some

Just got the new disc today; sounds pretty good. A little more
experimental than their previous stuff (kind of like Fear of Pop) but the
tracks with Ken and Tom on them are awsome. Later, and don't forget to
listen to my show tomorrow (thursday) 12-2 pm. Go to www.bates.edu/wrbc
for either the live cybercast or the archives up to 10 days later.

homophobia on snz@coolist.com? what's that all about? you don't really have

ignore madness' newer stuff (i.e. our house). Grab some old stuff (i.e. "one
step beyond") Not only are they the "wierd uncles of ska" but their horns
rock. They're like the SNZ of the late seventies-early eighties indie scene.

did anyone consider that our dearest Kenny is just screwing wioth us again.
Remember when he lied and made up that whole quote from some mammouth person
and that dj from chicago and then said he was lying a month later. maybe
he's doin' that again. but i guess this is too big to be a joke.

It was so great to see Kenny and Tom on Letterman. I wasn't too keen on
Tom's new haircut though... I still haven't heard BF5 do "Army" well live
though. I don't know what it is, but everytime I hear it live it sounds
flat.
I personally wouldn't mind a collaborative effort between BF5 and The
Zippers in the future. As I said before, every track on their new album
that has horns in it sounds amazing. Gotta sleep now; it's way past my
bedtime...

Pretty sure that was John from Fleming and John (the band currently

Subject: crappity crap
Hey, thanks for the birthday wishes, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all those folks
(Like ariel and dawn) whose birthdays went un-noticed :) Yay for us!
Being that today was my birthday, I of course had a pretty shitty day, and
thus slept through most of it (note that it's 4:30 AM here and I am wide
awake) so i missed the Letterman performance.
Anyone want to send me a tape, huh? huh? I've got shit to trade, yes I do.
Oh, and the flugelhorn player that's always with BFF is the extremely
talented and cute and charming and snappy dresser John Mark Painter (of
Fleming & John). I just got their new album, and he not only produced and
mixed the damn thing, but he also co-wrote all the songs with the equally
cute Fleming, arranged and directed all the strings (as he did on the new
BFF album) and played all of these instruments:
Guitars, Bass, vocals, percussion, clavinet, Theramin, timpani, chimes,
cello, flugelhorn, balalaika, vibes, piano, double bass, Oud, saz, buhl
buhl, harmonium, porta chord, tabla, trombone, lap steel, xylophone,
dilruba, spacephone, boodhran, accordian, dulcimer, khinjira, bongo
Jeez, can you imagine what the music room at his house must look like? "uh,
I know i've got a timpani in here somewhere. ah yes, here it is, under the
tabla and next to the porta chord"
the album's called "The Way We Are" btw...and Courtney doesn't like
Fleming's voice, but I think the album's pretty cool. She does get a little
screechy, but man, are they cute!
again, happy birthday! send me a tape!
Jess

Happy Birthday, Duke Ellington, and all of you other wild and crazy people
out there.
This is what I wrote to SBC:
- ------------
Sirs:
I am writing to inquire about the current state of your lawsuit
against the Squirrel Nut Zippers, artists for the Mammoth Recording Studios
of Carrboro, N.C. Many rumors have been circulating in musical circles
about the nature and state of the suit, and would like to have the correct
information so that I may clear up any misconceptions which may have
occurred. I would appreciate any information which you would be willing to
pass along to me. Thank you.
- ------------
I sent this out last Thursday, so I hope to hear back by the middle of next
week. Of course, if they don't reply... hmmm....
Didn't somebody on this list live up Cambridge way?

I finally looked in the pictures section at www.snzippers.com, and I'm
pretty sure they were all taken on April 26 or 27 in Hartford, CT. I
was there on the 26th (they were in the same place on the 27th) and
the overhead lighting, stage layout, stage dimensions, and dance floor
are all in the expected places.
