Hi All:
 
Due to space commitments in the October Issue of "In The Groove", a few  neat 
items had to be deleted from my "Anything Phonographic" column. I don't  want 
you to miss out on these -and there lots more stuff in November - so I'm  
posting the section here. I hope you enjoy and seek these artists out. I'm  
pretty sure the formatting of the italics and bolds won't come through but I'm  
pretty sure you'll be able to read it.

Addendum to "Anything Phonographic"
 
 
This month I want to share, and recommend that you seek out and learn  more 
about, some new performers who fit right in with the music we love and  
collect. I think you’ll be more than delighted at what you find. 
Carrying  on the tradition – As I noted earlier there are some recent 
performers you  need to know about. Imagine what would happen if The Andrews Sisters 
were still  performing and making new hit records with their same signature 
sound and  arrangements. Next, imagine that they recorded not only their big 
hits like  “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “Java Jive”  - along with a fabulous 
vocal arrangement of Glenn Miller’s hit “In The  Mood”– but they “covered “
Heart of Glass” by the ‘80s pop group Blondie and the  feminist anthem “I Will 
Survive”. Imagine no more. Meet The Puppini Sisters, a  young trio from the 
UK who pull this off beautifully on their debut CD  Betcha  Bottom Dollar 
(Verve).  And  they dress the part. (If you can see them live on tour, that’s an 
even better  treat!). If you love the 1930s “sister acts”, you need to know the 
Puppinis, who  by the way, are not related though one – Marcella – is really 
named  Puppini. 
Now if Bob Wills and western swing is your thing, or maybe you love  Ellington
’s “Take The A-Train” or Benny Goodman’s “Air Mail Special”, I’ve got  
another sister act for you to meet. (Yep, more sisters, though these are  
related.).  The Quebe Sisters Band  (pronounced like the city of Quebec without the “c
”) has just issued their  second CD, Timeless.  Each of the three Texas-born 
siblings  (backed on guitar and string bass) is a champion fiddler. Add their 
vocal  harmonies and you are in for a treat. Trust me on this. You will hit 
the replay  button after hearing the 14 tracks on this disc. It should be 
available at one  line music stores or head to _www.quebesistersband.com_ 
(http://www.quebesistersband.com/)   and listen to samples.
