In response to BLink's note about calling/emailing Mr. Binkley for
info re: the degree programs at IU, I might point out that he's on
sabbatical this semester, and might be hard to reach as he's in
and out of town a lot.  The EMI office, however, can give you all the
pertinent info.

I might also mention that there is a non-degree Visiting Student
program available as well; it's a one-year program designed for
people who need to do a lot of playing, in preparation for a concert
or auditions or just because, and you basically just do lessons,
major ensemble, and chamber music.  There are practically no requirements
beyond having a BA and the permission of the teacher you want to
study with.  The bad news is that you have to pay regular prices for it
(9-11 hours, which is around $300/per for out-of-state grad students).
But I'm enjoying it, since I don't have to truck with all those
blasted degree requirements like sightsinging, FEAR!!

Hello folks.  I've been lurking on the list for a while and enjoying the
duscussion very much when I understand it!  I'm a novice harper myself, but
I have a general interest in early music also.

I want to get my sister an alto recorder for her birthday.  I just want
to get a cheap one, under 25 dollars (though the 5 dollar variety would be
OK too!).  So, my question is, is there really a
difference between the dirt cheap plastic Yamaha recorders and the
slightly more expensive but still cheap plastic Yamaha recorders?  Or
should I go for a cheap wooden one, if I can find one?  I happen to have a
five dollar plastic Yamaha soprano at home which I think sounds awful -
maybe because my girlfriend doesn't know how to play it.

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice on finding a decent sounding cheap
alto recorder.

Many thanks!

I have just learned of a lute for sale.  If interested call Wayne Gunter at
410-825-7500.  He apparently needs cash and is willing to let the instrument
go for a greatly reduced price.  He told me it is made by Mark Butler back
in the 70's.  It supposedly is similar to one that Ron McFarlan played for
awhile.

They do indeed still exist. I don't have the address handy but if you
send a note to the lute mailing list, Lute@sunapee.dartmouth.edu, I'm 
sure someone will know. Otherwise get in touch with me by e-mail over 
the weekend and I can send you the address.

PS in my own opinion, membership in the LSA is good deal and I would 
recommend it to anyone interested in the lute. In addition to the 
journal, one also gets library privileges in the Lute Society of 
America's Microfilm Library. I have saved over $200 on music in the 
last year. They provide copies of the original manuscripts for a very 
nominal fee; if you purchase facsimiles of these manuscripts the 
prices are sometimes outrageous.

I've spoken with Mr. Elliot, and he is not an alto, just to clear the air.  He i
   s a high tenor.  Although terming him Haute Contre would be correct.  As far
   as I am concerned, chest is speaking, falsetto is anything when you change yo
   ur
"gears" and switch the muscle control of the larynx.  More men should try this
form of singing.  It is truly a male voice-type.  It is beautiful and the Englis

Hello, countertenor guys

This may sound like a sophomoric question, but could someone knowledgeable
speculate on the difference between pure head voice (no chest at all) and
falsetto? Would it be wrong to say that the constipated sounding high C's
of operatic tenors (Mr. Pavarotti, for instance) sound like so because the
of the weight of the chest voice that has been carried up the scale?

Thanks, Ching 'Didi' Chang

First off, I wasn't flaming at you, but the voice faculty here at IUP.
Because of their "opinion" I had to drop my music major here.  I know
study privately with a local voice teacher back where I live (Bethlelhem
Pa.).  Secondly, Giles tends to integrate the chest at the break.  I agree,
however, since I sang with a boy choir for four years, that bringing the
falsetto (or head voice) down is easier for me, but the Giles book truly
has helped me in doing that as well.  Take care and no hard feelings.

Are you saying that Shine On is gonna be re-released in Dec. '93?
Does this mean that the set is not as "limited" as many people have been

Also, does anyone have any advice on where I can find "Shine On" for the

It has already released (Sep.'92) from TOSHIBA-EMI *in JAPAN*, and I
have a copy of the album.  It is titled:

	THE HEART OF ROCK & ROLL,
	THE BEST OF HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS

and contains 17 songs.  Total play time of the album is about 70
minutes.

Lot number of the album is TOCP-7395, but remember, this is JAPANESE
version(I mean, most of the comments in the album is written in
Japanese).

CONTENTS is as follows:
	 1. Power of Love
	 2. Hip To Be Square
	 3. Do You Believe in Love
	 4. If This Is It
	 5. Some of My Lies Are True
	 6. Workin' for A Livin' (Live)
	 7. Bad Is Bad
	 8. I Want A New Drug
	 9. The Heart of Rock & Roll
	10. Heart And Soul
	11. Jacob's Ladder
	12. Stuck with You
	13. Trouble in Paradise
	14. Walking on A Thin Line
	15. Perfect World
	16. Small World (Part One)
	17. Back in Time

I'm not sure whether Japanese albums are available in USA, But I hope
it helps.

Oh my.  I am so happy.  I bought the 4 cd boxed set _The Patsy Cline
Collection_ the other day.  104 songs, over 5 hours of music, arranged
chronologically beginningwith her early days at 4-Star, and going through
her Decca recordings, where she was working when she died in '63.  Includes
very, very early radio transcriptions, a few gospel songs, some rockabilly
crossover versions of some of her classics, and other cool stuff.  The
booklet is big and full of pictures and text (the text is actually written
well, which is a first in my experience with box sets...)

Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know, in case there are any closet Patsy
Cline fans in this group!

For the last year I bought almost exclusively at Tower.  I'm writing a
letter of complaint and in the meantime shopping at Newbury or HMV
(and telling Tower about it, too).  Those difficult-to-find items I'll

BTW, reputable sources say all of Tower's prices are going UP

Hello netters, I was wondering about these sets if anyone knows about
them.  Specifically I am considering running out and purchasing the US
box sets (they are priced locally at $35.00 each) and am considering
the Japanese sets.  (of course during this time of listening to them
I would have to forego eating).

Please could some kind sould elaborate further the box sets and their
relative value.  Are the songs all remixes, single B sides?, etc...
and what price you paid for them?  I am considering waiting patiently
until March when the New DM album is to be released, but until then
I don't know when the Box Sets will be taken off the market.

Thanks for your help and replies.  I also heard one rumor that one of the
disks in one of the sets is either defective or is mislabeled and actually
contains the tracks for another one the disks in the American set.

The Japanese sets are quite costly and probably won't be considered at
all unless they bring some particularly amazing music with them.
