"Did you mean it? Would you marry me?"..."Yes"..."Why?"...
"Because I want to"..."Not because you love me or anything
like that, huh?"..."I respect and admire you"..."Isn't that love?"....."No. That's respect and admiration.
I think that's better than love".
"Suppose I were to tell you that I not only know exactly what time you're leaving the country tonight, but also
the latitude and longitude of your rendezvous, and your ultimate destination?"....."You wouldn't care to carry my
bags, would you?".

you have to, and in a compassionate and honest manner).

JOHNNY DRAPES is in your extended network view more
Johnny Drapes is very rarely spotted outside of the environment of The Orchestra Pit [www.theorchestrapit.com]. when there he tries to entertain the crowd as best he can w/ selections from his collection of shiny discs. a typical set will include "Ogle" by Howe Gelb, "Vendedor de Bananas" by Os Incriveis, "Didjeridoo" by Duke Ellington, "La Valse Des 24h" by Amor Belhom Duo, "Roulette Girl" by Mary Prankster, "Yoo Doo Right" by Thin White Rope, "Degi-Degi" by Don Cherry, "Uptown To Harlem" by Johnny Thunders & Patti Palladin, "Malicious Love" by Vic Godard, "Wellingtons" by Pocket, "They Gotta Quit Kicking My Dog Around" by Terry Hall & Mushtaq, "Long Walk To DC" by the Staple Singers, "Pow Wow" by Manny Corchado and "Pablo Dub" by Augustus Pablo....which also doubles up as his answering machine message, thus explaining why an 85 year old lady can often be found wandering the streets of Medway whistling some sweet, sweet melodica mischief;
Johnny has only recently decided to venture outside of his refuge in an attempt to further promote the activities of THE ORCHESTRA PIT RECORDING CO....
THE ORCHESTRA PIT RECORDING CO. discography: OP1 'Ready To Go' b/w 'Stupid Cat' Pocket [7" single]; OP2 'introducing...' Naim Amor [10" single]; OP3 'Over And Over' Country Dad [CDS]; OP4 'Three Blind Mice' b/w 'Hark! Hark! The Dogs Do Bark' Terry Edwards & the Scapegoats [7" single]; OP5 'Cut It' b/w 'Hat' Blurt [7" single]; OP6 'No' Lost Robots [CD album].......coming in 2009 - albums from Marianne Dissard (peut-être) and Mike Adcock & Sylvia Hallett.
but next up a double 7" vinyl 4 track EP from Naïm Amor:
.
our first album release comes from London based avant-rock band Lost Robots, and is a fusing of exciting, compact structures with free improvisation and abstract sound. It's title 'No' reflects, perhaps a reluctance by the band to settle into any perceived style, and instead presents us with a kaleidoscopic array of adventurous sounds, songs and non-sequiturs.
poet, saxophonist and puppeteer Ted Milton leads Blurt out on their first offering of new material in almost 10 years - repetitious and infectious grooves of solid robotic drumming combine with minimalist guitar patterns, wild bursts of free form sax and dramatically demonic vocals on this double A side 7" featuring "Cut It!" and "Hat".
our fourth release comes courtesy of Terry Edwards & the Scapegoats (Jem Moore, Simon Pearson and guest trombonist Mike Kearsey). the lead track is a brassy carnivalesque romp, as those famous "Three Blind Mice" - sporting shades purchased from Walt Jabsco - party blue-beat style to the sound of distant steel drums.
released into the world one summer's evening at one of our regular Scaledown shows, before disappearing into the London night; but made a welcome return post-Glastonbury 2008. includes 3 versions of "Over And Over" by Country Dad, one featuring special guest Naïm Amor.
next up is a 10" EP from Paris born/Tucson dwelling Naïm Amor. two tracks apiece from the albums 'Sanguine' and 'Mistake Love', recorded with the help of John Parish + Joey Burns & John Convertino of Calexico.
our very first release comes from Orchestra Pit favourites Pocket - probably the finest urban surf quartet to come out of London, N16 - with a 7" single coupling "Ready To Go" and "Stupid Cat".
