This story wasn't a nice way to start the day, and on the same day Zulu's ashes were scattered at sea. I'll be displaying my black tikis today. http://starbulletin.com/2004/06/06/news/index11.html [edited by Hanford to change the subject line] [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2004-06-06 14:49 ] |

I remember as a kidhearing "Quiet Village" and begging my mom to buy the record and that we didn't even have a record player. The bird calls and animal noiseshave been among my favorites ever since then. He will be missed. Thanks for posting the news Naugatiki. |

well, let's celebrate that he got to do all that great stuff! What a cool legacy...and I'm glad he got to be appreciated during his life and not just remembered afterwards. Now I'm going to freak out my cat with some exotic bird calls! |

This is terrible news indeed...the man was a true musical original and the perfect compliment for Martin's 'exotic' music. People tend to overlook the fact that Augie was a very good percussionist, too. An acquaintence new to the music of Messers. Denny & Colon recently asked me, "How did they get such good recordings of those birds?" :) The ultimate compliment to Augie's special talent. [ Edited by: Mau Mau on 2004-06-22 04:54 ] |
