Molly Roth sweet-talks a plant as she is interviewed for a TV show. 'Grow, or I'll .break your stem' By DOC HOLLOBAUGH
Molly Roth says she was the hit of the Transworld Home Horticulture Exhibit For the uninitiated, the exhibit was held this past spring at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, 111., and everybody who was anybody in the lucrative world of xxxg green houseplants, and the paraphenalia that goes with them, was then. Molly Roth's contribution to the exhibit was a record called "Plant Talk, Sound Advice for the Care and Feeding of House Plants." The tongue-in-cheek subtitle is "Do you speak English, Ivy?" and includes appropriate conversations with wandering Jew, African violets, palms, ferns, spider plants and others. "We knocked them out" said Roth from her Green Earth plant shop in Lafayette, Ind., where she deals in facts and superlatives. Roth's theory to that most people talk to the things they love. "You talk to your cat, right? Well, there are people who sincerely believe that by talking to plants they set up good vibes." "I've talked to plants all my life. Sometimes I say, 'Grow, or I'll break your stem.'" As for horticulturists who scoff at the talk-to-plants theory, Roth thinks many of them may have brown thumbs. "Raising house plants to like raising kids. I've seen parents who are not In control. Plants scare some people like "A plant has to know who is boss." Roth has a 92,000 stereo system in her shop, "A twenty-first century looking number with purple lights." A sign says, "Play the free juke box, the plants love it" "My plants are gorgeous. They hear everything — golden oldies, add rock, country western, classical" 'Roth said. "Let me tell you about the album cover, babe. You'll love it
By the way, I got a letter from Marion, la., wanting a record. Where is that? "Well, hell get it as soon as we get the shipment Anyway, the girl on the record Jacket looks like Lady Godiva. This girl with long blonde hair falling all over her shoulders. She's standing In back of my Juke box with a watering can in one hand and... it really looks like Eve in her bunch of plants. Terrific. "I think I'm so darn clever, so I wrote the script for the record. I said to myself, 'Molly, this is just pure dynamite.' "There is a plant music record out but it's just pure classical. You know, Bach, Beethoven. I don't have it My plants have to be versatile. "If an add rock freak comes in and buys one of my plants, what happens when he takes it home if that plant has grown upon Bach? Disaster, right?" Beside*, her theory goes, if you get close enough to talk to your plants you're close enough to see if they need water or they have bugs
Dean Carter and Arlie Miller bought a local townhouse in Danville, Illinois which they transformed into a makeshift recording studio with different instrumentalists confined to individual bedrooms and broken down cardboard refrigerator boxes battened to the walls to assist with the acoustics. The studio was named The Midnite Sound to reflect the time of day when most recordings took place. Also formed around the same time was Milky Way Records. The record label only lasted for around eighteen months before folding under a cease and desist order issued by the company manufacturing Milky Way chocolate bars (you can't make this stuff up!).

I was born in Chicago [in 1936] and gradurated from Mount Carmel High School class of 54. I played coronet and piano. I start writing poerty and wrote my first song at age 21. From 1969-1971, I took a correspondence course with the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Didn't finish it, did 17 of 20 lessons. Wish I did finish it. I am a member of ASCAP, CMA, NASI. My songs can be licensed through The Harry Fox Agency. Songs played on radio "Christmas in Space" and " Ribbon on a Tree" ( 9-11 song). My six brothers were in the U.S. Army, Marines and the Canadian Air Force. My father was a Canadian Merchant Marine in the 1st World War. He was injured in the war and recovered at Ste. Ann's Hospital in Montreal Canada. I watched all my brothers go to war and watched them all come back alive. I was the lucky one I didn't have to go. All of us were lucky to be born. When I met Kentucky in 1998 I wrote her 1st song, "I Was Lucky Again". My father met my mother at Marshal Fields during the depression. They got married and in three short years, she was the mother of five step-sons and two sons of her own. A dear friend of mine Maureen passed away in 1993 after a 23 year battle with cancer.

Rev. James E. Lenox, 70, pastor at Greater Holy Temple Church of God and Christ and a renowned gospel singer, died of heart failure Monday, Aug. 6, in Thorek Hospital and Medical Center, Chicago. Rev. Lenox, a lifelong resident of Chicago's West Side, sang gospel for more than 60 years, said his wife, Aldrea. He was also an Army veteran. Rev. Lenox worked for Western Electric Corp. and later as owner of a grocery store to support his singing career, which took him around the world, his wife said. He arranged "I Won't Complain," now a gospel standard, his wife said, and formed the Lenox Family Singers. Rev. Lenox was also a board member for the Chicago Gospel Festival. By 1979, he was out of the grocery business and had become assistant pastor to his father, Bishop Eleazar Lenox, at Greater Holy Temple, taking over as pastor in the mid-1980s. "He traveled a lot, because he was in demand, because he was a great Bible teacher," Aldrea Lenox said.
