Guilty Pleasures



garfish’s recent thread on c/w music brought to mind the “guilty pleasures” admissions recently submitted by TAS writers and reviewers. a “guilty pleasure,” roughly speaking, is a musical selection one adores but plays only in secret, fearing its publication as an audiophile’s favorite might elicit ridicule or, at least, laughter. so, fellow a-goners, are you willing to confess to a couple of your guilty pleasures? I’ll start with two and add others if this thread gets going: (1) “not for kids only,” j. garcia & d. grisman; (2) ‘the little mermaid,” OST.

gbeard: believe it or not, there's an mfsl lp of "abandoned luncheonette" (mfsl-069). this was not a big seller, so you should be able to find a sealed cutout on eBay. (i still have a sealed copy i bought many years ago). i don't think mfsl did a cd of this one.

dekay: i have the very same 45 rpm of rock lobster. found it at a used record store in ft. collins, colo in about 1985. i also have a 12" 45 of the record done for radio broadcast. my older son, who's 31, went to numerous b-52 concerts at the late great rainbow music hall in denver. wish i'd been wise enough to have accompanied him.

I am big on Henry Mancicni though the only CD that I have now is "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I remember my mother dancing to the Cha Cha Cha number and my father and sister playing Moon River on the piano as a duet with my father heavily improvising. I also like the theme song to "Exodus" as well as many others. Everyone in my family played the piano, with the exception of my mother, and I grew up with a lot of soundtrack music of the 50's and 60's.
