teddybear stand-in for turkey
The other day Kathleen Weldon, who’s illustrating a 6-page cookbook of Kate’s Xmas dinner recipes written by Martha for the charity loot bags, needed someone to pose trussing a turkey. We looked around the apt. and all we could find was Arcangelo’s teddybear. Don’t cry Arc, we didn’t poke any holes in him. Reminds me of this line from Kate’s Barbie Doll song ..’every doll was working, some with dustpans and some with brooms.’

Complainte pour Ste Catherine
Two months after the release of our first Warner recording in early 1976 we were asked to send a visual of a song that was getting some attention in Holland. Kate was 8 months pregnant (doesn’t look it) with Martha and because she had some edema the big East coast tour that had been planned got cancelled and we were at home twiddling our thumbs convinced our short-lived music careers were over. Now it turns out somebody somewhere liked something. Timing was everything. I remember it was a weekend and the Quebec WEA company rep arranged for us to lyp-synch before a camera at a TV station in Sherbrooke, QC, 1.5 hrs drive E. of Montreal, the only place that could make the video on short notice. In spite of the sorry-looking tulips, the song became a hit in Holland and Northern Europe. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this clip. It was uploaded to youtube and last.fm by fans. The irony here is that in the Spring of 2009 Kate and I were to fly to Holland to do this same song on a TV show with the Dutch group Alderliefste but because of post-surgery complications Kate had to spend a month in hospital and we never made it over. Complainte pour Ste Catherine indeed. Be careful how you title your songs. Stick to Love Me Do. The song appears on our first Warner record and on French Record (where I’ve written it phonetically – Kumpleint por St Kathryn)
