Ruby Smith & Chris Albertson: Buffet Flat Story (5:13) »a brief extract from a remarkable series of interviews I had with Ruby Smith (née Walker) in 1971. Ms. Smith, who travelled with Bessie Smith (her aunt by marriage) for fourteen years, as a dancer and confidante, made numerous records as a blues singer between 1938 and 1947. Here - as part of a much longer story related to a 1927 appearance by Bessie Smith in Detroit - she vividly describes the goings-on in a local buffet flat. Actually, buffet flats were common in black urban areas, and the pleasures they offered were not restricted to sex. The music included in this cut is from Bessie Smith's Soft Pedal Blues, a song dedicated to the very buffet flat Ruby describes.« (Sleeve note by Chris Albertson, contributing editor to Stereo Review and author of the book, »Bessie« (Stein & Day, N.Y. 1972).) »Chris Albertson: "It was a gay place?" - Ruby Smith: "Yeah a very gay place. Nothing but faggots andbull-dikers. Everyone that was in 'The Life'".«

Philip Glas:
Soundtrack Mishima composed by Philip Glas.

Christoph Willibald von Gluck (1714-1787): opera kompositör; reformerade den franska operan. Gay-relevant innehåll och situationer. Förtäckt i (Orfeo ed Euridice 1762) Orphée et Euridyce 1774. "Varm vänskap mellan Achille och Patroclos i "Iphigenie en Aulide" 1774, premiär 1777. Förhållandet mellan Oreste och Pylade i Iphig. en Tauride 1779, öppet; centralt för innehållet, men utan funktion för handlingen. Behandlas alltså som fullt "normalt" och motiverat i sig självt. Icke propaganda (Fassbinder är en paralell! "Goût greque" ex Winkelmanns skrifter, viktig tidsstrømning och relevant för gay-medvetandet runt om i det franskinfluerade Europa 1750-1799).
Mycket gay-relevant i fransk och italiensk opera från 16-1700 talen. Innehåll och situationer ofta specifikt gay-identifierande. I italiensk musik könsneutralt formulerat. Jr. Travestier och Kastraterna. Några gay kompositörer: Jean-Baptiste Lully, Pergolesi, G. F. Händel, A. N. von Höpkon (svensk), Joseph Martin Kraus 1756-92 (svensk), Beethoven, Schubert. - Författare Metastasio, J. W. von Goethe. - Även mycket relevant av icke-gay komp. Mozart "Don Giovanni", "La clemenza di Tito", Nicola Piccinni "Cruising"-aria: "Le Faux lord" (1783) etc.

Tyskland 1979. LP .
André Heller singt Schnulzen, Schlager, Chansons aus den 20er, 30er und 40er Jahren.
»Hellers Auswahl ist eine extrem subjektive: Lieder, die seine Mutter sang. Da es sich dabei auch um berühmte Zarah Leander-, Fritzi-Massary, Marlene Dietrich-Titel handelt, bekommt diese nostalgische Heller-LP einen vielleicht unbeabsichtigten, doch unvermeidlichen Nebeneffekt: die homosexuelle Komponente. - Bei Zarah Leanders schwermütigem Sehnsuchtstango "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" oder Fritzi Massarys kessem Operettenliedchen "Warum soll eine Frau kein Verhältnis haben" denkt man kaum an die großen Vorbilder, weil der Heller mindestens ebenso verrucht seufzen und stöhnen kann wie einst Zarah, die fremde Schöne: 'Komm! Komm! - Ach...' - Bei Marlene Dietrich, ihrer damals weltberühmten Vamp-Arie aus dem Film "Der blaue Engel" von 1930, aber wird es riskant: "Männer umschwirr'n mich wie Motten um das Licht, und wenn sie verbrennen, ja - dafür kann ich nichts..." - Schwuler geht's nimmer, besser auch nicht: diese homoerotische Variante des Hollaender-Chansons ist - schlicht gesagt - grandios. ... Dann Vorhang auf: großes Orchester, großer Chor und ein Heller, der außer Rand und Band zu sein scheint, wild, verführerisch, unglaublich frech: "Ich kenn' den Jimmy aus Havanna und den Jonny aus Hawaii - Matrosen, Matrosen, Matrosen ahoi!«

It has probably not even occurred to many of their fans that hose two 'Dear Ladies' Dr Evadne Mona Hinge (George Logan) and Dame Hilda Bracket (Patrick Fyffe) are men! - After becoming stars at London's "Black Cap" in the early 70's with a mixture of operatic arias and light opera classics they turned to the BBC and developed their characters as two elderly spinsters living in Stackton Tressel Suffolk. - In 1984 they reached millions with their TV series "Dear Ladies". Nowadays the two gay men maintain their characters at all public appearances. - There are a number of gay references in their cabaret acts and they have a strong following amongst gay men. - In more recent years their albums have contained more music and less dialogue. - The best LP as an introduction to their work is probably "An Evening With ..."

Fufi Sonnino: Lesbica (2:20): »Det er svært at skrive en smuk sang om homosexualitet. Ikke p.g.a. manglende erfaring, men fordi ordene pludselig forandrer betydning. Når trykket på 'lesbisk' forandres, betyder ordet på italiensk pludselig kusse. Da jeg endelig besluttede mig til at bruge ordet homo-sexualitet, reagerede alle underligt på det. Man skulle vel tage 'homo' væk. Denne sang er bygget op over dobbeltbetydninger, f.eks. betyder den første del af det italienske ord for homosexualitet også mand."

John Gacy is bij zijn buren zeer geliefd, hij is betrouwbaar en een typisch Amerikaans burgermannetje, die in de gemeenteraad van zijn geboortestad, Chicago, veel succes boekt. - Als 'Pogo de Clown' treed hij tijdens kinderfeestjes op, waar hij tegelijkertijd ook zijn slachtoffers uitzoekt. De lijken begraaaft hij in de tuin van het huis dat hij, na een mislukt huwelijk, samen met zijn moeder bewoont. Ook zij heeft, net als iedereen, geen idee van de perverse aktiviteiten van haar zoon. In 1979 werd John Gacy ter dood veroordeeld. - In 'Pogo The Clown' gaat het over de driften, die John Gacy heen en weer slingeren tussen perversiteit en een kinderlijke zucht naar hamonie.«

Live-opname van de première in de Kleine Komedie te Amsterdam.
On cover: ""Met andere ogen" van Manfred Langer ging 15 oktober 1984 in première en is een programma met liedjes en praatjes rond de gedachte dat hetrofielen en homofielen elkaar eens 'met andere ogen' moeten gaan bekijken. 'n Warm-menselijk, eerlijk programma over liefde en geluk... soms met een vrolijke glimlach, dan weer ernstig en met een kritisch accent. - Het is een goede gedachte geweest om dit gebeuren, waarin alles draait om het besef dat liefde het mooiste tussen mensen is, op een langspeler vast te leggen.
- Manfred Langer is rond 1973 uit Wenen naar Amsterdam gekomen en heeft zich ontwikkeld tot een boeiende figuur in de Nederlandse show-wereld. Hij haalde onder meer (samen met Erik Beekes) het televisiescherm als Bulletje en Bonestaak en maakte verschillende graaggedraaide singles. - In 1980 had hij zijn eerste show in het Amsterdamse Carré, waaraan ook André Hazes, Lenny Kuhr, Imca Marina, Dolly Dots en vele anderen meewerkten. - Dit Gala is intussen een jaarlijks terugkerende gebeurtenis geworden.

Tyskland 1979. Liedermachermusik. LP .
Wenn man mich mal fragen würde (2:17): den selvsikre machofyr synger bl.a.: Die sind alle nicht ganz richtig, wie der Schwule, den wir in der Firma haben. Neulich machten wir einen Scherz, und da wurde der denn ganz verschnappt. Natürlich haben wir ihm eins auf's Maul geschlagen! (...)
Thorbeckeplatz (3:30)(R. Long/R. Long, oversættelse Michael Kunze): På Thorbeckeplatz møder to fyre hinanden og indleder et længerevarende forhold, men den ene har en kone ved siden af.
Andre numre, bl.a. Abschied (5:56) kan fortolkes som bøssenumre, men det siges ikke direkte, så til en vis grad er de almene, såsom også numre på "Tag, kleiner Junge" (Polydor 821 271-1, Hamburg 1984), hvor titelsangen måske kan tolkes pædofilt, men det siges ikke klart. Robert Longs tekster er oversat fra hollandsk af Michael Kunze; R. L. skriver selv alle sine tekster og musikken; han går imod miljøødelæggelse, massefordummelse og diskriminering af bl.a. homosexuelle. Robert Long himself is openly gay. - Compilation LP: "The Best Of Robert Long" (German language).

Rod McKuen: "Seasons in the Sun", Ember NR 5018.
USA 1965. Med kommentarer til teksterne *. Folk. LP .
The Lovers; Stanyan Street.
Rod McKuen siger: Jeg har fartet rundt i så mange ensomme byer, så det næsten kan synes, som om jeg har tilbragt halvdelen af mit liv med at stå i udkanten af menneskemængden og vente på, at en eller anden skulle tage mig med hjem. Det sker ikke så tit, og det handler The Lovers om. Jeg skrev den med en bestemt i tankerne, og det er den samme, visen Stanyan Street handler om. Stanyan Street er stadigvæk så personlig en oplevelse, at jeg tøver med at optræde direkte med den eller at kommentere den yderligere udover at sige, at det fortalte kom hurtigt, hvorimod det tog noget længere tid at skrive selve sangen.

Rod McKuen: "Prolific Composer Sings His Own"
USA 1965. LP.
Channing Way: vi er en verden af fremmede, fremmede for andre og fremmede for os selv.
The Lovers: (se under 'Seasons in the Sun')

So Many Others: folk vil hellere høre løgne end slet ikke blive set.

Rod McKuen: "Pastorale", Stanyan Rec./Warner Bros. 2WS 1894.
USA 1971. 2 LP .
Stille og fredfyldt, men intenst og vækkende til eftertanke synger bøssen Rod McKuen sin livsvisdom ud til os, og også når indholdet ikke er specifikt homosexuelt, må lytte efter hans ord. Dette dobbeltalbum var jeg så heldig at finde hos en brugtpladehandler på Nørrebrogade.
The Denver Post: »His songs are affidavits of affection that swell in intensity like a runaway carousel. Erotic or wistful they always speak honestly of people's need for each other.«

En af sangene hedder Foolin' Around, hvilket ifølge The Queen's Veinacular, A Gay Lexicon side 84 betyder "to experiment with homosexuality" (ofte er det nødvendigt at bruge et slanglexikon for at forstå nutidige rocktekster).

Homophobia (3:12)(G. Morgan): About gays: »My son's gonna be a football hero, not one of those sissy fools, now it's homophobia in the locker room when I took guys, Homophobia, it keeps me from touchin' my friends.«
Morgan is a seasoned country-western singer and songwriter. Although his songs are not gay, the reflect and explore the issues of the men's liberation movement - intimacy, maschismo, women's rights. Goodbye John Wayne, The Penis Song and Homophobia are among the twelve songs included.

USA 1981. Tekstbilag *. LP .
Fire in the Rain (4:10); Golden Thread (5:15). Overraskelsen ved at være forelsket i en anden kvinde, som også er sangskriver og åbenbart har sunget nogle meget stærke, direkte ting, som har påvirket Holly Near meget (it changed my life).

Perfect Night (2:20): handler om forskellige lesbiske typer, som er i byen en glad aften, en mand kommer hen og spørger, om de er alene (underforstået i byen uden mænd) og svaret er selvfølgelig: No we are together!
Singing For Out Lives (3:40) er en slags protestsang i stil med We Shall Overcome: »We are gay and straight together and we are singing for our lives«.
Ronnie Gilbert har en fortid som medlem af den legendariske amerikanske folkemusikgruppe The Weavers, som bl.a. talte Pete Seeger. Gruppen blev opløst til dels som resultat af McCarthy-hetzen mod alt uamerikansk. Holly Near fører på smukkeste vis deres form for sange videre, sange mod racisme, krig etc., så det er i grunden ikke så sært, at de to stærke kvinder har fundet hinanden på tværs af alderskløften. De har også med stor succes optrådt sammen i USA.

And so, we dedicate this album, affectionately, to Minorities everywhere. After all, aren't we all part of one? THE PRODUCERS.«

Shel Silverstein: "Songs And Stories", Parachute RRLP 9007
USA 1978. LP.
The Father Of A Boy Named Sue (3:09) : Forhistorien hertil er, at Silverstein lavede A Boy Named Sue (3:39)(indsp. af Johnny Cash), hvor temaet gik på, at en mand, der havde avlet et barn, ikke gad/orkede familiesituationen og derfor skred efter at have navngivet sin søn SUE i håbet om, at han ville blive stærk eller dø. Efter en årrække møder "bumsen" sin søn på et værtshus og bliver genkendt efter et billede, og de kommer i slagsmål - forbrødring efter en forklaring af motivet til navngivningen. (Johnny Cash: A Boy Named Sue et al., Scoop 7SR 5015, P 1969, CBS, Longplay single , 7", 33 rpm.) - Nogle år senere lavede Silverstein så The Father Of A Boy Named Sue (3:09) : samme tema, men: sønnen er ved gensynet ikke macho, men er blevet "queen", læs: transsexuel. Efter opgøret, der fortæller en del om sønnens "udstyr" (sminke, håndtaske etc.) beskrives forbrødringen som en fryd for faderen, fordi: han laver min mad, stryger mine skjorter, og på de aftener jeg ikke får steg på gaflen - ja, jeg vil ikke siger mer' - men det er en svir at leve med en dreng ved navn Sue!

La garçonne (M: Vincent Scotto - T: Alfred Kjærulf og Ludvig Brandstrup) i 4 indspilninger: Opt. 1925 Polyphon (3:25), Opt. 1925 Odeon (2:57), Opt. 22/4-1925 HMV (3:16), Med Hans Peder Aases orkester opt. 19/2-1952 (1:13): fra Scala revyen »Rosen blusser«, en garçonne er en drengepige, en navnlig i 1920'erne anvendt betegnelse på en drengeagtig, emanciperet ung kvinde, der lod håret klippe kort og forsøgte at ligne en mand; sangen er et angreb på denne type; om typen skal tillægges noget lesbisk er nok et spørgsmål og nok senere tiders tolkning?
Man binder os på mund og hånd (3:16) (M: Kai Normann Andersen - T: Poul Henningsen og Holger Bech) Ved flyglerne: Hans Kauffmann og Amdi Riis. Fra revykomedien »Dyveke«, opt. 1940. Om påtvungne indskrænkninger i den personlige frihed. At bringe visen ind i denne sammenhæng må bero på en fortolkning, en udvidelse til større gyldighedsområde, end man har kunnet udtrykke i 1940. Senere også sunget af gruppen Parkering Forbudt.

Sweden. Single.
Indirekte: kvinde synger til kvinder.

Most of the entries in this homosexual discography were made in the years 1984-1988, and since then only few updates have been made. Many gay people have contributed with entries, especially Erik Harrison (Bergen, Norway).
Jay McLaren (Amsterdam, Netherlands) started his own investigations in 1986. He was one of my informants, too. When I found no time to continue collecting and editing material, I gave him a diskette with my manuscript which was added to his own material. In 1990 he published The Encyclopaedia of Gay and Lesbian Recordings »An index of published recordings of music and speech with themes relevant to gay men and lesbians. Items are selected based on 1) explicit statement of gay / lesbian issues, 2) orientation to a gay audience, 3) recordings related to gay literature, film etc.« — Jay McLaren, Waalstraat 55, NL-1079 DP Amsterdam, Netherlands.
