Subject: Cab Caloway (sorry if I have misspelled his name)
I've got a question:
is there any information if Jimbo (or any other Zip) was
influenced by Cab Caloway (because I think there is something similar in
their manners of singing and performing)?
Thank you!

I've seen jim say in interview's that Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway are
big influences, both with their music and musicianship. Because as we all
know Duke's band was made up of all-stars. There was Johnny Hodges, Sonny
Greer, Bubber Miley, Cootie Williams, "Tricky Sam" Nanton, Cat Anderson,
Russell Procope, Clark Terry, etc. And of course Cab had Dizzy Gillespie at
one time. And Milt Hinton Jonah Jones, etc. Cab's stage antics remind me of
Tom. And jimbo dressed up like him and danced around like Cab used to in the
opening shot of the "Stephen Foster" video.

Hey fans,
The Zippers are having quite a busy summer in many ways. *Tom Maxwell
has departed the band in favor of a solo career ready to blossom. We all
wish him the best of luck. He's very excited about the prospects! See
www.mammoth.com for more information about Tom's departure.
*As was true last time, the video for "Ghost of Stephen Foster" is still
being shown on rock.com. Please check it out at:
http://www.rock.com/scripts/downloads.cfm?rfd=1&site=dig
*Jas. Mathus & His Knockdown Society played a great tour this summer. One of
their shows was even broadcast on the Internet. They're some of the most fun
I've ever had at a live show. They remind me why being in the South isn't so
bad. Very inspiring! For more info, check out www.mammoth.com.
*Katharine Whalen's Jazz Squad is playing a few more dates this summer in
caseyou missed them on their first tour. Unfortunately, as of yet, we have
no dates for the West Coast or non-US cities. Sorry, folks!

okay, the things i got to share with y'all were some SNZ stickers. the black ones with the lighting thingies on them. ive got 3 to give away to those who correctly answer my questions first. i havent got any questions right now cause ive been to lazy. if you happen to already own one of these marvelous stickers, hold back on yer answers so those less privileged can take advantage. first question will hopefully be out next week so keep eyes open.
the immortal guy,
Shaun

If you recall, Ken mentioned this CD in his Shrubbery interview. There is a
website for Summer, and it's beautiful. it's at:
http://www.vintageparts.com/summer/index.html
I put a banner link to it on my page, and i hope you all do the same,
whether you have SNZ-related sites or not. We're all in this together...and
she'd do the same for you!!!
as soon as i get time (huh, seems like i've been saying that a lot lately.
i need to write an actual schedule...) I will be making an SNZ charitable
works page/section on my website. hopefully, sometime around the time
Summer's CD comes out!

PS Congrats to DAWN, the big winner! please tell us all what you have won
when you get it!!!
