Subject: TV NOW
I don't know if anybody will get this in time, but the just broke for
"Before they were rock stars" on VH1 with a teaser about a spot on the
Zippers after the break. Go quick! It's 10:51am PST sat.

Subject: Too late
Well, it doesn't look like that last post even reached the list before the
spot was over - so much for email being "instantaneous" communication. It
was about a 3 minute spot that was about what you'd expect from VH1. They
called the Zippers "soldiers in the swing revolution" and had other
references to "swing." We got some good footage of Jimbo in some old hom
movies, but they didn't say a thing about his previous musical endeavors. I
didn't know that Tom was in "Insignificant Others"! What a goof! I guess we
can be glad he concentrated on his music and not his acting career. They
also said a little about Je and Stu, whose "before" apparently goes all the
way back to 1994. They didn't even mention Kat or Ken's names.
Well knowing VH1, you can't count on them airing this episode again...and
again. Check your listings for the show and if it's on tomorrow or some
time real soon it's probably the same episode. The SNZ spot is at the very
end.
Out,

Subject: What's going on?!
Ok, I thought this Landing list was supposed to be more stable than the
others (coollist, listbot).
Before this, I have made four posts, and only seen 2 of them. Is this
happening to other people or is my email setup dropping messages somewhere
aling the line? What is the deal? It also seems to be taking a long time
for the posts to go through (if they do at all).
I am sending a copy of this to snz@coollist to test the speeds of the two
lists.
If anyone (Jess) has any answers I would really appreciate it. I'm not mad
at anyone, I'm just frustrated, especially since one of my recent posts was
very time-sensitive, and another took some effort to compose - BTW those are
the two that haven't gone through. The two that did go through were
addendums to my two real posts.
Hope we can get this figured out.

It's not just you. It takes a while for my posts to go up, and once I posted
something and it went up two weeks later. I am also on another SMZ list, and
it takes about 5 seconds to show up.
I hope they show that before they were stars thing with SNZ again. SNZ would
be the last band I ever thought would be up (I didn't think there could be
hardly anything on them on video).
Has the Licoln Center Jazz Orchestra came to any of your schools? To teach
or to play????

Well mr. Thief has taken down the pics, like i said, but is now VERY huffy
about the whole incident. He even made a nice picture of him on the head of
a dog judge and my co-editor's head on a dog and for some reason a picture
of tom. ???
he DID include picture credits on his site now. that'll learn 'em. Zippo,
he took some of yours :) Those, and some from the official site...
I feel sorry for everyone around here that's about his age (14 i
think?)...he's giving y'all a bad name...
Like Dave Foley's ex-butler told Dave upon his firing "You make me ashamed
to be a mammal"
Okay love you

I don't, I think this list is the only good SNZ source.
What did they have on Je and Stu on 'Before they were stars'???? Jess, are
you doing an interview with Tom when his cd comes out?

Subject: Barn Dances.
Has anybody ever been to one of Jimbo's barn jam's???? I was talking to
Cecil (sax player for Jazz Squad), and he said as long as you can play a
note you can come up there and jam. He also said that once an 80 year old
man came in one night with nothing but a cornet in his hand, and before they
knew it he was up there screaming out some sharp tunes...and he really had
some chop's. Just the thought of being in a jam session with Jim, Kat and
ton's of other great musician's is pretty tempting.

I'd love to give it a try sometime... how does one get "invited"? Cecil's
sound on tenor is very unique, I'm totally hooked although a long way from
being able to produce a similar sound myself!

Well, he has been playing for about 60 years, so that is a main factor. He
also played with the Navy. Chapel Hill has many great musician's (not just
the ones in bands). One of the lead trumpets that used to back Dizzy
Gillespie lives and plays in CH.

Subject: re: barn dances
Andy, these Barn Dances are held in Hillsborough NC (just outside of Chapel
Hill). The last one was May 28th, and the next two are tenatively scheduled
for june 25 and july 16.
They're held at the Daniel Boone Village, supposedly in some big barn on
the property. Last time's lineup was Judy Woodall's Mule Train, Sideways
Alley Jazz Band, and the Harmony Four. Aparently, Jim sat in with all 3 and
Kat with the later two.
The only place i got any good information was from Greg Humphreys of Hobex.
his email is hobex@earthlink.net I didn't know it was a "jam" but it sounds
way cool. I wanted so badly to go to the last one but my plans were
squelched :( Who knows, maybe i'll get around to these others...
If anyone writes to Greg and gets any info on future dances, let us all know!
and about Cecil Johnson, he's a REAL cool guy. He played with the Countdown
Quartet when i saw them in Chapel Hill and he's just an amazing sax player.
He plays sometimes with both the tenor and soprano at the same time. Says
he learned it from Roger, the sax player of the Dirty Dozen. He's super
nice, hope to see him again.

Does anyone live or know someone who lives in the Triangle? I have
learned from Permanent Records (the best place to get CD's from
Bio Ritmo, Hobex, Flat Duo Jets, et. al.) that the indepedantly made
movie 'Immortal,' which most likely has the Squirrel Nut Zippers
appearing in their first ever movie role as a band, can still be
rented in the area. If anyone can get a copy and confirm this and
pass along any review or oppinion, it would be greatly appreciated.
