Ernie Santilli is an American writer, musician and performer better known under the pen name of Stately Wayne Manor. He is best known for his participation in professional wrestling as the longtime magazine columnist for ''Power Slam'' and ''Wrestling World''. Having thrice been touted as "The World's Most Conceited Man’"〔http://swmswm.com/tabloidclipsone.htm tabloid clips〕 in ''The Weekly World News'' and ''The Sun'', the letters in Stately's tribute site URL, SWMSWM.com, stand for Stately Wayne Manor's Site to Worship Me. ==The "fledging rock star" years== Dubbed a virtuoso rock drummer by a Philadelphia-area newspaper, self-taught Manor also became competent enough at songwriting, synthesizer, various percussion instruments, harmonica, vocals and electric bass to perform each discipline onstage; and wrote three articles for ''Modern Drummer'' magazine. He also performed in a public demonstration with synthesizer inventor Dr. Robert Moog. Stately is one of the "Sigma Kids," a group of eleven (among dozens) of David Bowie devotees who kept a ten-day vigil outside the studio and band’s hotel during the recording of ''Young Americans'' rewarded afterwards with an exclusive listening party hosted by Bowie, a move so unprecedented, it was documented in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine. In 2007, a special CD/DVD re-release of the album features Manor visible in four photos in the enclosed booklet. Photos from the event also appear in books about Bowie and the original supermodel, Gia, as well as on the SWM website ‘Photos’ archive.〔http://swmswm.com/sigmakids.htm SWM site Young Americans photo page〕 The May 2014 issue of Britain's ''Mojo'' magazine, in an article chronicling the ''YA'' sessions, contained two photos from said booklet, including a never-before-released ''color'' version of one, it capturing Stately in the foreground. Inspired by the Sigma experience to try his own hand as front man, Manor assembled a short-lived band, recruiting bassist Gail Ann Dorsey who, coincidentally enough, now regularly tours with Bowie. In the latter half of the Seventies, Stately became deeply immersed in the emerging punk rock music scene. He was a regular and occasional performer at Philadelphia’s Hot Club, and frequented NYC venues such as CBGB and Max’s Kansas City, regularly sleeping on the couch of future recording-engineer superstar Bob Clearmountain while in New York. Manor was also slated to drum behind former Sex Pistol Sid Vicious on the Philly date of the latter’s aborted "solo tour." Additionally, he wrote the liner notes for the aborted Cheetah Chrome debut solo album on Polish Records. (Stately ''did'' receive a 'Thank You' on that label's release "Siren" by Ronnie Spector.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stately Wayne Manor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
