Uncle Dave Lewis and his Shows

Pardon my ignorance - the "Ouled Nails" were not something one would hammer into a board; they are a Berber tribe whose territory extends from Biskra to Jelfa in Algeria. They are quite prosperous due to the manner in which the women of the tribe earn their living: by dancing and prostitution. The "Street of Ouled Nails" refers to a red light district in Algeria frequented by European sailors and it was basically the birthplace of belly dancing; this is what Holst's piece was attempting to convey at the beginning. Also towards the end I neglected to back announce several pieces; these are: Martin Denny Group - Frankie and Johnny (from a single), The Monkees - I Wanna Be Free, Ruth White - Spleen, Oskar Sala - Improvisation No. 4 and Edgar Varèse - Interpolation No. 1 from "Déserts" (first version). In between you'll hear dance music and some jazz; excuse me while I flog myself for being so careless. Length: 70 minutes, though it doesn't seem that long.
