Which is a perfect opener: let's hear a SELF-DESCRIPTION by all netters
(ALLMUSIC honor pledge is suspended for this one).

Or even better, let's describe how we PICTURE famed netters and then we'll hear
the solemn truth from the horse's mouth.  Now admit, aren't y'all
CURIOUS???????

Carol has waist-length dishwater blond and go-go boots, no, actually Carol has
black hair in a punk cut and 50s cat-eye glasses.

Russ, are you shoulder-length chestnut pony-tail? slimy jacket?

Rick has his hair parted in the middle like one of the Lil Rascals.

I need to get my ESP revved up for this one.

Yes, Bob, you are right. . .we are at that point in our quartet where we have
to face the reality of being honest about each other's playing style for the
good of the quartet.  Everyone is kind of being nice to each other and making
general comments like: "I think the tempo is rushing here" or "We need to
make it sound more (insert style here)".  I tend to be the leader of those
types of criticisms--I think I'll be speaking on this at our next rehearsal.

As far as having to choose "local" musicians...I think we've just assumed
that the people we'd like to  play are too involved with other things or live
too far--but we haven't actually asked. . .I think this will also be on our
discussion agenda next rehearsal.

There's not alltogether too much difference between religion
  and politics in the south. Historically there hasn't been too much
  separation of church and state -the very fact that the southeast,
  specifically South Carolina, is still beridden with blue laws is an
  excellent example.  Funny thing though, the only real rocker to come
  out of here was James Brown, minister, later arrested for a number
  of wild and wonderfully crazy antics in the grips of LSD(heh...heh).
    Lady, if you're the secretary, you need a dictionary and a Harbrace
  handbook of grammar.   Thanks anyway for your prayers of 'exceptance'.
  I hope that God, yours and maybe mine, can understand that you feel
  'acceptional' for standing on the holy moral high ground, perhapse
  she will forgive us both of our sins of pride, prejudice, judgement
  and,most of all,mispelling....

I agree with Russell's suggestions that you cover some folk-rock tunes.  I

learn _Valerie_ by Richard Thompson... they didn't get around to it before they
disbanded.  :(  Too bad, it's such a cool song and it's even danceable.

If you want to get funky, do a cover of Bootsauce's _Love Monkey #9_... I'd

Hiya, Carol,

You ask:

>What is the "preferred" music on this?

The preferred music of ALLMUSIC is what I, the Reverend Bob "Bob",
like.  Everything else is meaningless noise or trash ;-)

No, actually, we're *real* eclectic here.  In fact, I get flamed
regularly for objecting to other people's musical preferences
(though Enya *is* the Antichrist).  A surprisingly large number of us
like jazz and blues (surprisingly, considering the size of the
population of jazz lovers, that is), but people have sought and
found enlightenment on classical, punk, and whatever that Irish
goat instrument is called.

I'd bet it would be difficult to mention an artist or genre that
somebody on the list didn't know and love, and that somebody else
didn't know and hate.

So what do *you* like, Carol?

  Ok, you want weird?  Here goes:  Secret Agent Man done reggae-> Pop

retained riffs from all the previous ones.  The best part was the looks
on people's faces.  Yes, we sure did crack ourselves up.

  Y'all might get a laugh at this:  For some reason, the bassist started
playing that In A Gadda Da Vida riff.  So we went along with it, but it
needed some words, so it became "In a bottle of ether, baby, like a fruit-fly
who's lost his way" and so on.  Yes indeed, we crack ourselves up.

   I don't know how many of you guitarists saw the quick mention in
GFTPM this month about Jason Becker, but for those of you who didn't, who are
interested, he can't really play anymore they said, and is composing with
the help of a computer.
   For those of you unfortunate enough not to have been exposed to
his guitar work, first check out the Cacophony albums (it's a little hard
to know what's him and what's M. Friedman sometimes, but look for Images
on Go Off which he wrote), his solo album called Perpetual Burn (all
on Shrapnel Records) and his work on D L Roth's 'Lil Ain't Enuff. Then
weep, realizing the magnitude of the loss to the guitar community.
(loss from the playing community anyway, he's still composing).
    Oh yeah, also look for Meet me in the Morning on the GFTPM album
of Practicing Musicians.

This reminds me - About a week ago, I saw God's Favorite Band.

thrash version of "Rocky Mountain High."

As you know, there's always some dumb fuckhead screaming out "Play

Unfortunately, they played another song instead. Make that "Fortunately"

Boulez wants to redo everything of Webern's, record it all over again,

-------------

More (esoteric) train themes:

* Film music/soundtrack from the British educational film "Night Mail" (1930s).
The words are by W H Auden, the music by Benjamen Britten. It starts along
the lines of...
	
	This is the night mail crosing the border
	Bringing the cheque and the postal order
	Letters for the rich, letters for the poor
	The shop at the corner and the girl next-door.

						etc.

It's considered a classic of documentary film making in the UK, I've got no
idea if it's ever been "recorded". The "border" refers to the English/Scottish
boundary.

* The radio "docudrama" by the Brit folk singer Ewan McCall/director Charles
Parker(?) entitled "The Ballad of John Axon", first broadcast in ca. 1958. It
refers to the heroics of a driver who stayed at the regulator of his run-away
locomotive and died in a crash as he tried to stop the trian. It's a classic
(IMHO) of radio drama, and has at least half a dozen McCall original songs 
written for the broadcast. Again, recording history unknown.

It wasn't the Revolutionary War (but maybe from the British point of view

:-) apologies to any UK history buffs---

Anyway, a few more pieces of J. Driftwood that washed up near my desk:
  -- 'What Color is the Soul of Man?' -- sung by J.D. on the album
                Festival of American Folklife (Smithsonian Institution SI 100)
  -- 'I'm Too Young To Marry'
  -- 'Zelma Lee'
  -- 'Bunker Hill'
  The last 3, along with 'Battle of New Orleans', 'Tennessee Stud', and
       'Soldier's Joy' are featured on another Jimmy Driftwood 2-record set
        called 'Famous Country Music Makers' (RCA DPS 2022)-- a British

      Hi, the Other Carol, welcome to the pajama party.
      You like Leonard Bernstein? Have you read his parodied lyrics
      to the tune of "A Bicycle Built For Two", written on behalf of
      the Dean of the Indiana University School of Music, and sung at
      a drunken party there? It's on p. 455 of Joan Peyser's Bernstein:
      A Biography. (end of Chapter 34, if you have the paperback ed.)
