[78-L] The Ames Brothers were Jewish!?^

[Taylor Bowie]

Julian,  Are you insulting the Cliquot Club Eskimos?  Hahaha.

I think it is interesting to know something about the background of 
musicians...no,  it doesn't change the music but SOMETIMES it can give the 
interested listener/scholar some idea of how the musician in question got to 
be whatever he became.   Just like knowing that so-and-so was born and 
raised in a farm town and didn't go to NY until he was an adult,  vs. 
somebody who grew up there and maybe was a delivery boy at the Brill 
Building when he was 12.  the former learned about music from radio  and 
records,  while the latter was mixing with the players and hearing them 
live.

If we were just interested in listening to music,  we could just use this 
list as a place to post sound clips.  But most of us joined because we want 
to learn more about the records and the people who made them.

Earlier I mentioned that e mails are a lousy way to communicate because the 
tone of the writer is absent,  and it is easy for someone else to infer 
something which was not ever intended.  Hey...let's try to give each other 
the benefit of the doubt...OK?
