Funnily enough, a friend and I were just wondering whatever became
of Judy Dyble last week. I know she was briefly in an early lineup
of King Crimson after Fairport (the version of "I Talk to the Wind"
with Judy singing is simply marvelous), but was there anything after that?

Subject: Blades and Children
No, there is no link between The Children (or at least not these
Children - but that's another story...) and Eternity's Children.
The Children were from Texas, were managed by Lelan Rogers, and
featured my old friend Cassell Webb, who not only had one of the
most beautiful voices I've ever heard, but is a lovely lady, and
freely admitted to much wearing of white Go-Go boots whilst in the
Children. I believe they also did some stuff for A&M, though these
may have been Cassell solos. She also made a great album in the
early 1980s on I think Statik(?) Records, which I'll have to dig up.
Re the Blades Of Grass - they did indeed make an album, and pretty
good it is too. Thanks to Spectropoppers Phil Chapman, Steve
Stanley and Jeffrey Glenn for finding the missing tracks. Everything
else is on mastertape, but these songs went west during the transfer
from the offices of the Maf...er..sorry...Roulette Records to Abbey
Road. Speaking of which, I've always been fascinated by Tico Records
too and don't really know a darn thing about them apart from the
Goldner input and a few precious records I have - so let's hear
more!!!
Oh, and......still no Marshall Lieb experts, huh?
all the best

Subject: Lesley Gore
Hi Folks,
I am new to the group so this is my first posting.
I am looking for some information on an article on Lesley Gore
that was written by the Village Voice magazine around 1976 in
April or May. It was preceded one month earlier or followed
one month later by an article about Janis Ian.
Contents on the article pertained to Ms. Gore's life in TX while
attending some classes at SMU and her performances there. Some
mention was made of her career plans and her personal life which
I am not interested in.
Also, having just returned from Dallas, TX to NY after 13 years,
I have met several women who claimed to have attended school with
Lesley at SMU in the early 70s. I would appreciate anyone who knew
Lesley contacting me as I am co-writing a book on Ms. Gore and
have agreed to give her full editing privileges.
Thanks for any help.
PS - What is Spector doing now?
JP

I was never into Debbie, but the Boone Family had a killer 45
of "Please Mr. Postman" which came out just before (or
simultaneously as) the Carpenters' version, and was much better.
IMHO

According to their website, Gear Fab, the folks who brought us
the Bard's "Moses Lake Recordings" among others, have released
the Children's "Rebirth" album with bonus tracks. Here's their
web address:
http://www.swiftsite.com/gearfab/
They also state that a release by Eternity's Children will come
in 2002.

Weren't a couple of folks talking about The Jaedes a couple
of weeks back?
I bought an album by this outfit (1969's "The Jaedes" on Athena,
catalog number ZLP-6002) and can't find a trace of information
on them. Any help out there?
