Hey All, I just so happen to be a commercial music producer for a large New York ad agency, and I've met, on occasion, a few folks from famous 60's groups. Peppy Castro is a session guitarist with whom I've worked before, and the guys from the Cyrkle, Dawes and Danneman, composed jingles very successfully for a long time. It was fun to hear his stories about playing with the Beatles. Joey Levine, who wrote those Banana Splits songs and Archies tunes, owns one of the biggest commercial studios in the country, called Crushing. Mike Brown from the Left Banke has worked on stuff for us before and I've been told he's working on songs with his wife at the moment. Their commercials for Hertz, Toni and Coke are my favorites from the sixties, along with the American Breed and Boyce and Hart's Coke spots. Has anyone on this list heard of Sasha Borland? He did a novelty album in the 60's called "The Nutty Squirrels?" He did a bunch of great commercials and a few that were released as singles. I have one by a studio group called the Lively Set doing a song called "There's Nothing Like Coffee" which is totally ridiculous. I love the Tee Vee Tunes Commercials record. I think there should be more of them. There were a series of promotional 10 inch records made of all those Coke spots. I wonder if they're worth anything. Adios, Keith. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1997 08:38:27 -0500 From: ccarlson@valsmtp.riag.com Subject: Re: New/Upcoming stuff in stores? David Coyle asks: Does anyone know if the One Way reissue of the Nashville Teens "Tobacco Road" album has come out yet? And why has my local store not received any word about the Monks CD? I see they are both listed in the latest Collector's Choice catalog. 1-800-923-1122. Order once and you'll get catalogs for the rest of your life.

Still, the Troggs, Moody Blues, Jay and the Americans, etc etc etc. Fun! Bonus track at the end of the CD is a Pepsi commercial! Brian Poust At 10:10 AM 2/13/97 -0500, you wrote: .

Now if Tom >Hanks isn't forced to sing it (please, oh please get some great band to do it >live!!) we might have a moment of International Pop Nirvana in a few weeks! Well, I'm very happy that the song got an Oscar nomination. But I think there were at least a couple categories the _movie_ could have been nominated for! That was a great movie, which the music only served to complement. Surely, it could have gotten nominated for original screenplay. Of course, then the obvious problem would be giving Tom Hanks yet _another_ Oscar! But, dammit, he deserves it this time! Oh well, here's hoping the song makes it! Dave || David J.

But then my mind flashes to ANN REINKING singing "Against All Odds" as Phil Collins sat squirming in the audience. Now I'm sure Ann's a nice person, and I normally get pretty bored by Phil Collins, but that was a great song and he was certainly at the peak of his popularity. So what the &^%$ ?
