Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey, I have limits as to how evil I'll be.

I'll give Hec a break from his usual pimping duties & do it for him. Just received this from his co-editor, Kim Cooper:
Dear contributors,
I just wanted to share with you the below, our first feedback from our publisher on the "Lost in the Grooves" manuscript.
"Also, Kim & David: I looked over the MS and frankly there's not much editing for me to do . . . the writing is wonderful, and I would just louse it up if I were to try to change the author's style(s) -- we will give DETAILED INSTRUCTION to the production department not to mess with it either when they give it to a copy editor."
best,
Kim

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Credit goes to JZ too, who took a red pencil to the entire manuscript. Not making any textual changes, but wrangling the errant "its/it's" and wacky comma abuse. That was before I had to go edit for content and rewrite the run-on sentences and cut for length while maintaining style and meaning.
She did note that the Buffistas, as a group, produced remarkably clean prose.

I think this is the One True Common Trait (besides kinda liking Buffy) that all Buffistas might share.
Go Hec! Go contributors and Go JZ! That's great feedback.

Da Vinci Code, watch out: we're going straight to the top! (I know there's no money, but we'll get some groupies, right?)
Willie Nelson's cover of "September Song" popped up on my player right before I got Kim's email & it reminded me of Lou's great cover on Hal Willner's Kurt Weill tribute Lost in the Stars (much better than his cover of the same song on Willner's second Weill tribute, September Songs). So of course I started wondering if George Russell recorded it, too, giving me the "Lost in the Grooves" hat trick, but alas I found no evidence of any Weill in his discography. I doubt that there's more than a couple degrees of separation, though. (His buddies Miles & Gil Evans did a killer version of "My Ship" on Miles Ahead that was perhaps their finest collaboration.)

Oh sure, you know Greil pulls the birds.
I love Lost in the Stars - probably my favorite of the Willner projects. Though I did like the sheer wackiness of Mingus/Partch, and listen to the Nino Rota a lot too. Stay Awake has lots of good stuff too, particularly Tom Waits and The Replacements and Los Lobos. Plus, Ken Nordine!
