    I'm looking for classical music played entirely on acoustic guitar. I know
    its out there somewhere, and I've seen transcriptions for various songs in
    guitar magazines. If anyone knows the name of such an album so I could
    order it, it would greatly be appreciated. Thanx and Merry Christmas-

The Lemonheads are a group somewhat like the Decendants, 7 Seconds,
Greenday, etc.  If you like this kind of stuff, I suggest buying Create
Your Friends, which is a combination of two different albums (sort of
raw and hard.)  The Lemonheads just released a new album.  I have only
heard the ffirst single off of it, "It's a Shame About Ray."  It completely
surprised me when they announced that it was the newest from the Lemonheads
because its sort of easygoing and slow and peaceful.  A complete 360.
Don't get the newest one unless you know what you arre getting into.

Allmusicdom,

Allmusic is dedicated as a living monument to the memory of Mantovani,
Liberace, Bobby Vinton, Imelda Marcos, Perry Como, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber,
Madonna, Barry Manilow, Pat Boone, Nancy Sinatra, The Partridge Family,

so many other greats, and that this accounts for the awful tastes that
predominate on the list??  Please do it for me.  I don't want to get
any more messages from this clueless clod.  And don't let him post on Allmusic
until he gets a clue.

I don't have a favorite Christmas carol, but there are a few from a few years
back, that my friends and I made up, that were quite funny, at the time.  For
example, "Jingle Balls"  Anyone with any intelligence at all can figure it out.

I am writing to help Michael with his call waiting problem I used to fix it
by typing in *70 before the number you want to dial.  It worked where I live.
So maybe it will work for you.  This is one of those features, that your phone
company gives you like *69, which returns the last person who called you, and
so on.  Maybe you could see if you have any of these features.  Good luck

my favorite xmas carol is probably "O Holy Night" -- it's as if you are
floating through the chilly air on a warm current of song and emotion.

on a more secular note, i also enjoy "Jingle Bell Rock", "Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas" (Jermaine's version is real nice!), and "Grandma Got Run Over
by a Reindeer" (by the Rovers).  also, i forget who does it, but cjad-radio
occasionally pulls out the Calypso Christmas:
        "Mary;s boy-child Jesus christ
        Was born on christmas day ...."

they prefer the one with a female lead to the harry belafonte version.  (me too)

"The Jackson 5 is history (in the books I mean)
Did a lot of things for me ..."

Maybe, although I'd hold out for the Incroyables et les Merveilleuses during
the French Revolution, or possibly the Frondeurs during 1650.  Some of the
Roundheads during the 1640s would probably qualify. One might make a case for
the medieval flagellants that wandered the hi- and by-ways of Europe, too.

I'll have to send you the harmonization I wrote for my composition

you can do with common chords.  There's one place where a plain

Babes In Toyland: _Fontanelle_ with the disgusting anatomically

>What is your favorite album cover.
Has to be _Sergeant Pepper_.  The complexity and texture of the
cover was a perfect match for the texture and complexity of the music.

A few: Foetus, Green Magnet School, Steel Pole Bathtub, Tragic Mulatto,
Bitch Magnet, Unholy Swill, Rapeman, Pussy Galore, Naked Raygun,
Screaming Trees, Throwing Muses, Cows, Lubricated Goat, God Bullies,
Jesus Lizard.  I can't believe I have records from 5 of these bands!

Yup.  It's one of those things that you do to become civilized, like
memorizing the books of the Bible, memorizing the states and capitals,
reading Hamlet, etc.  It also keeps the kids off the streets.

Was reading the new Guitar World (it was free i wouldn't buy this trash)
and there is a great article on the History of The Allman Bros and it
said that Duanne would pay the roadies b4 the band got paid, that's great
they lived off two of the roadies gov checks for a few years and the roadies
were a big prt of the band and that's why their picture is on the cover of
FIllmore East.

Question: The artice said that at one time "The Bros" were considered the
best rock band ever.....Personally I can't argue with that, but i'm sure
everyone has their choices....What would be your choice...I know it's hard
to choose one, but what the hell try it anyway..........L.W.

What the world needs now is another folk-singer

My own folk-singerosity (though not by M. Bloom's standards) notwithstanding,

to go for the A.  You know something baby, you don't have to read my

gun at your head forcing you to read my insightful little messages.  If
it's giving you an ulcer, than drink some pepto and don't bother reading

and put a smile on your face.

Heh guys, I appreciate your bitches about drinking and celebrations, But-
democracy is what it is . This is just another part of our 'great system'
that we adhere to. Namely in this case, the majority of people in the
pool request a certain style of party, and are willing to spend their/
your money.

This is no different than the decisions made in local and national gov-
ernment. Shit, even the Supreme court doesn't have to win by a 2/3
margin. I prsonally don't buy into democracy unless they hit me over the
head with it. I'd like to take a leave of abscence, but It'd rather have
a leave of society. Check it out - let's say you're a citizen of an-
other country and you don't believe in what that country is doing with its
momny. Do you really think your minority view will be reimbursed by the
powers that be?

Marsha, I drink, and I enjoy it, and I enjoy the way the people I work
with open up and get real. By all means it's not he natural way to foster
inter-confidence. But it serves the purpose of letting people get rid of
their old, conervative ways and open up to people their own age, so as to
work better together in a "real working" environment.

If you don't want to 'hang' with these people don't.
