=============================================================================

NOTES:

New concerts announced from Blur, Shabba Ranks, Tori Amos, Pixies (2nd show),
*Northern Pikes, *Paul Hyde, and *Dan Hill.

Also, two festivals were announced:  Music West Festival and The du Maurier
Jazz Festival.

Serious marketing is being done on the new Celine Dion release.  There is
a plain advertisement for the album, with no record store affiliation, in
the newspaper TV guide!  Odd.  I have never seen this before, but maybe 
they are trying to milk the "Beauty and the Beast" single for all it is
worth to the adult market that never usually buys material.

Dropping out of the charts this past week:

 John Mellencamp       Whenever We Wanted
 Various Artists       Music from 'Juice'
 Stevie Ray Vaughan    The Sky Is Crying
 Soundgarden           Badmotorfinger
 Garth Brooks          Ropin' The Wind
*Bruce Cockburn        Nothing But A Burning Light
 The Sugarcubes        Stick Around For Joy
 The Commitments       Music from 'The Commitments' (26 week stay)

Until next week
