Ivers' Murder

edit

Previously there was a long section either here or in the New Wave Theatre article saying that Dave Jove had owned up to having murdered Ivers on his deathbed. Was that for real, or some kind of sick vandalism? Sounds like now that it is back to being a mystery.

By the way, one measure of Peter Ivers' impact on the larger culture is that I first read about his murder in an in-flight magazine while on a flight of a major airline. Shocking Blue (talk) 18:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

“Threshold” sound track.

edit

The article makes a declarative statement that all vocals on this soundtrack are by Jim Connor; the album sleeve says that vocal duties are shared by Jim Connor (on two songs), and Michael Nesmith (on one - The World is Golden Too); was the Nesmith vocal an album only thing?

Right, a bit of further research, and some info sought from Michael Nesmith himself gets us further. The song only appears in the movie as an instrumental (it can be found on line). In a Facebook message to me in answer to a request for what he remembered about his involvement, Mr. Nesmith said: “the only person I remember from this is Fred Myrow -- RIP -- he was working on this with several people -- and one day he asked if I would like to take a swing at singing the lead on this song. I did -- and this is the one take we did of it (I think it was one -- if not -- it wasn't many). I don't think I ever met the other people involved and I don't know if my cut made the movie -- that was, indeed, titled "Threshold:The Blue Angels Experience". It was a pretty good documentary as I recall and I enjoyed the singing the song -- unlike anything I had ever done.” His comment can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/michaelnesmith/posts/10156283540260116?comment_id=10156285626340116&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D Jock123 (talk) 12:47, 13 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
