Could some kind soul out there e-mail me the phone # for Terrapin
Tapes?  I placed an order *two weeks* ago and still haven't gotten
anything, *and* the file I had with their phone # got munched :-(

(And if you're a friend of the owner, I promise not to berate him

Thanks a bunch...

As a complement to the Deadicated album, I'd like to see a compilation of
original versions of songs covered by the Dead.  Some, particularly the
Dylan covers, are easy to come by, but others are more rare.  A few which
come to mind are Morning Dew (both the Dobson and Rose versions would be
nice), Viola Lee Blues, Big River, Death Don't Have No Mercy, Mexicali
Blues, Smokestack Lightning, and Wang Dang Doodle.

Except for the all-important resonance of strings that are "open" - which tend

	I can't help you with that particular song, but at the old times
	most of the blues lyrics were constrycted from "floating verses"
	at the moment of performance. These floating verses were used by
	different people in different songs, and given local favour by
	including places, people and stuff the current audience knew. It
	was only in about Robert Johnson's time (and partly by his influence)
	that blues songs begun to have fixed lyrics, melody and key. John
	Lee Hooker is one of the old school bluesers who still writes
	lyrics while he sings using partly old floating verses and partly
	pure improvisation.

Now Foetus does put on a tight, wham bam, no glam, I'm it and your nothing

If you can't get the members in your band to realize that unless your

The Quadraverb Plus has a few extra CONFIG algorithms, including multitap 
delay, ring modulator, and one-shot sampler (or is that on the original 
Qverb?). Regular Quadraverb owners can update to a Plus for something like 
$30 at their local Alesis dealer. I really don't need the Plus features 
but am willing to compensate at approximately the going rate...

Seems like a few months back alot of folks were selling their Qverbs for
ALOT below what I'm offering. Now I can't find any takers!

I'd have to add: BE HONEST. You might not be <insert favorite performer>,
but you've got some convictions about what you're doing, so go
with that feeling. And, if you talk to the audience, talk s-l-o-w-l-y.
I found that when I MC my own gigs, if I pause a beat between phrases,
people understand me better and, in fact, are more responsive. It
may seem like you're talking really slowly, but I'm sure it doesn't

I always screw up lyrics and start mumbling into "Did you see any action?
Biggoo hack Mary brains?" or stuff like that. People catch the fact that
I'm smiling and they laugh.
   Then there's the night we lost or guitarist. Yes, lost. He walked out
after the first set, drunk and depressed because he couldn't play worth
shit. Anyway, the bar owner announced this to the crowd and made light of it.
We started doing the same and "winged it" the rest of the night with no
guitarist (who needs 'em:), even let people come up and make noise with
the guitar or sing. They had a great time and so did we.

so what's the problem with making r.m.promo/r.m.demo a place where people
can make their tapes AVAILABLE?  

i trust people enough to be able to make some general comments about their

demos, and someone says, "this guy's stuff sounds a lot like Michael Penn,
only more acoustic," then i would be genuinely interested in checking out
that demo.  i would hope that if i described my demo to people on
r.m.promo/demo, those who were interested in my influences and artists that
sound similar would then express an interest in getting a copy of my tape.

I just thought I would let everyone know that there is a project in the early
stages that actually might lead to rec.music.promo.  Alternative Media 
Alternative Music (AMAM) is a project we started the summer initially to
help set up shows in other towns and with out-of-town bands.  The project
has expanded to include general promotion (concerts and demos).  We have
compiled a directory of representatives across North America.  Soon after
we compiled a similar list of DJ's.  We are working on band directories
for each of the cities, some of which are already available.  I have also
compiled a list of local record store and their policies on selling 
demos.  More info is available in the post I made yesterday:  AMAM: 
REGIONAL MUSIC PROMOTERS.  

I have recently sent a message to Leo at rec.music.info just inform him
of AMAM and the possibility of a newsgroup and a FTP site for these
directories.  Bur first, we are going to see what the response is in
rec.music.makers.  We will be posting some general info using the

	Princeton Owners:

	Would you trade a Princeton or Princeton Reverb, for a 
	Fender Deluxe ? I posted an article a while back on a
	Princeton rebuild based partially on the Fender Deluxe and
	my own design. The results were very good. I recently had
	a chance to compare the new Princeton to a $700 vintage 
	unmodified Fender Deluxe. The Princeton did exceptionally
	well, it had all the power and balls of the deluxe when
	running 6V6 output tubes. With EL-34's, the Princeton
	was much bolder and had a big clean sound and a smooth
	distortion the deluxe couldn't match.

	I also have a mod that can significantly increase the power 
	output of a Princeton. 

	If your interested in having you old 12 watt Fender 
	Princeton converted to a 30 Watt Super Princeton, or you'd 
	like to try out a modified Princeton, give me a call or
	send email. I can also simply restore old tube to get rid
	of noise, improve tone and reduce hum.
