    MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians

    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

From the outside, garbage and debris were strewn all over; in the back was a barn in disrepair with a small corral that was overgrown. We didn’t see a pony, though the H elderly owner told us she was in the barn. Katrina and I proceed- ed to the barn, where a board hanging in part of the entranceway closed the doorway. There was manure all over the outside of the entrance. The barn was filthy and you could tell it had just been G cleaned out for our visit. The manure line along the walls was at I least a foot high.There tied to the wall was a small black pony with long curled up hooves. She pawed wildly at us, as if to say,“Get me the heck out of here.” She was covered in matted manure under- neath her left side and belly. She was thin but had been getting E some hay and grain they recently bought. Katrina and I agreed immediately we had to take her. My friend Maryanne arrived with her trailer and Lizzy dragged Katrina and I out of the barn and on to the trailer. Lizzy had been N alone and tied to the barn wall for at least 6 months. It is difficult to imagine day in and out being tied, barely able to turn around or lie down for all that time.

    Fab Faux Meet the Beatles New York combo is the greatest Beatles cover band – without the wigs Not your average cover band Photo by: Josh Rothstein One day in early 1998, Jimmy Vivino, guitarist and arranger for the Max Weinberg 7, the house band on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, ran into his neighbor Will Lee, bassist for Paul Shaffer's CBS Orchestra on Late Show With David Letterman, in the elevator of their Manhattan apartment building. "We were going to our shows," Vivino says, "and Will goes, 'Hey, I'm starting a Beatles cover band.' The first thing I said was 'Why? There are plenty of Beatles tribute bands out there.'" "Then I realized he was serious," Vivino recalls. "He said, 'I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart. I'm talking about playing the Beatles' songs and records live, as perfectly as we can.' I said, 'Without the wigs?'" Lee's reply was quick: "Sure." Seven years later, the Fab Faux -- Lee, Vivino, guitarist Frank Agnello, drummer Rich Pagano and multi-instrumentalist Jack Petruzzelli, all of whom sing lead and harmony vocals -- are the most accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business. Since debuting at New York's China Club in May 1998, the Fab Faux have mastered and played more than 160 of the 211 songs in the official canon -- according to Agnello, the Faux's resident Beatles statistician -- and most are complex hits and post-'65 LP tracks the Beatles never performed in concert.

    Mylestone Equine Rescue Every horse we save makes a difference MARGRIT - THE MARE WHOSE LIFE STOOD STILL SUMMER 2006 I can’t help but wonder what it must have been like to live for years tied to a tree, barely able to move around ... food and water not consistently provided and to have to stand and endure all sorts of weather. With only the leaves from the tree to provide shade from the hot sun, and in the winter a fuzzy coat that barely covered your bones to keep you warm. This was Margrit’s life, a life no animal should have lived. She was used as a brood mare and had her babies tied to the tree as well. Not far from her when she was rescued was her two year old filly, tethered to a different tree. The filly had no muscle tone, was as thin as Margrit and all she knew of life was being tied to a tree. She didn’t know how to walk around or lead. Mylestone was told about these two back in February when a kind woman stepped in and res- Margrit lived her life tied to the tree in the photo above. cued Margrit and the filly. The older mare was not yet well enough to travel to us, but one of the women was going to keep the filly. We sent dona- tions to help with Margrit’s care. The vet said she was in her late 20’s and it was determined she was also in foal. The vets did not expect her to survive carrying a foal full term.

    The Fab Faux Brings the Music of the Beatles to Northampton

    The Fab Faux brings the music of The Beatles to Northampton May 03, 2009 The Fab Faux will perform on Friday night at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton. By KEVIN O'HARE For starters, forget every notion you may have ever had about tribute bands. The Fab Faux don't weary goofy wigs, they don't get decked out in phony Sgt. Pepper's uniforms and they don't talk between songs with bogus British accents. But they just might be the most authentic live interpreters of the music of the Beatles on the planet. Well, perhaps other than Paul McCartney when he takes his own band on the road. The Fab Faux will be playing the Calvin Theatre in Northampton on Friday night in a show billed as "From the Cavern to the Rooftop." Led by bassist-singer Will Lee, best known for his work in the band on "The Late Show with David Letterman," and singer-guitarist-keyboardist Jimmy Vivino, a longtime member of Conan O'Brien's band, the Fab Faux formed in 1998 and have been drawing raves along with jaw-dropping looks of amazement from audiences ever since. Lee, whose musical resume reads like a who's who of rock 'n' roll history, spoke recently from his home in New York about the group's background and its goals. He's particularly the right guy for his role in the Faux, in part because he has played with three Beatles (McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison) and even played on a track with the late John Lennon as well, but more on that later.

    Conan O'brien Bandleader Jimmy Vivino Stops in for a Very Candid

    For Immediate Release Contact: Andy Goldfinger Grand Poohbah Flying Eye Radio Network ASCAP/BMI (818) 917-5183 Conan O'brien Bandleader Jimmy Vivino Stops In For A Very Candid Chat "For Every Moment Of Triumph, For Every Instance Of Beauty, Many Souls Must Be Trampled." Hunter S. Thompson, Famed American Philosopher Malibu, California, November 08, 2012 -On this week’s addition of the Flying Eye Radio Network’s Music Gumbo, host Andy Goldfinger sits down with late night music legend Jimmy Vivino for a candid interview. Vivino can be best recognized as the band leader of Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band, the house band for the popular TBS late night show Conan. Currently the music director for Conan, Vivino has been an integral part of Conan O’Brien’s late night career since the beginning. Starting from the very first episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 1993, Vivino has enjoyed a near 20 years of recognition as part of the best band in late night. When not rocking the small screen, Vivino can be seen playing with the popular Beatles tribute band The Fab Faux.
