netters,

there are dangerous people in the world, some of whom have net PRIVILIGES.
I am not one of them.  I'm just a big mouthed kid who shoots from the hip.
You are probably getting sick of reading me grovel, so I'll get on with the ne
news.  

I don;t know what sort of demand there is for this, but I have a copy
of Weird Al live in Buffalo, NY, from the King Biscuit Flower Hour, made
circa 1984.  If anyone who was offended at my post would feel better by
hearing this concert, send me email and I will arrange to get you a tape.

By the way, in case you haven't heard, I really don't think that people
should threaten each other, and that it is especially important not to
scare or needlessly verbally abuse each other, certainly not on mild
mannered newsgroups like this one.  By the way I spelled privilege wrong.

Subject: Album Review:  Dick and Mel Tunney, "Let the Dreamers Dream"

This album by Dick and Melodie Tunney is the first to feature them by
name.   Mel was for several years a vocalist with the group First Call,
and Dick was producer on part of the first album, besides doing extensive
touring as keyboardist for Sandi Patti.   On all songs of the album 
Mel sings solo vocals and Dick plays the keyboards and produces.
They wrote all the songs for the album.

As you might expect, the type of songs is quite similar to the slower stuff
that was done by First Call in their early albums since those songs
like "Undivided" were written by the Tunneys.  

Every song on this album is good, but none of them are outstanding.

To me, it sounds pretty much like the same style as Boomerang, but I haven't
listened to it intensely either. I've let it spin in my CD player several
times though, enough to get an idea of what's on it. One song is a remake of
a 50's (I think it's 50's) song and it sounds like Elvis to me....could it
be that he dropped in to do a song with the MATW boys? Probably not. But
anyway...not much of a review, but a little information might be considered
better than none.....maybe. :)

Perhaps not, but such a style might be effective at communicating (and

without God, or maybe the horror of sin that separates us from God.

I would beg to differ.  I have never seen Jason Steiner to be hateful to
anybody.  Sarcasm and frustration do not equate to hatred.  I doubt you've
been reading this group long enough to have gotten a feel for what Jason
is really like.

And personally, I'm getting quite tired of this Noel-vs.-Andy-and-Jason-
and-Michael-et-alia debate.  Look, everybody, you don't stand a chance of
changing the other person's viewpoint, especially if they've exchanged
more than ten posts with you.  Why don't we just give it up?  PLEEEEZE?!

Same for me and _Why I am not a Christian_ by Bertrand Russell.  Of
course, to the late Mr. Russell (and the authors & editors of "The
American Atheist", no doubt), their motivation is rationality, not
evil.  They undoubtedly consider themselves to be rather good, or at
least not terribly bad, and they may truly believe the nobility of
their good intentions.  These works are "evil" insofar as they subvert
the Gospel, at which they are, at least in my case, quite ineffective.

I reacted to Russell's book by writing a paper for my Philosophy of
Religion class, responding to many of his criticisms of Christianity.
While he demonstrated a clear lack of understanding of Christianity
from an adult's point of view, he expressed the same objections that
people everywhere will make as to why they aren't Christians.  Reading
the book and writing the paper were exercises that, if anything,
strengthened my faith and improved my ability to talk to people about
Christianity.

The same rhetorical question applies here as well.

Here we go....
I am no authority on what Mr. Wilson means, but I do have a slight idea.
Of course, it may be wrong, but so what?  :)

I think that Mr. Wilson is an athiest or non-believer who doesn't give the
other people in his family the chance to know God.  He is taking no heed to the
message, and as the song describes, he thinks that he'll understand when he
sees them and him 'on the chopping block'.
I  wish I had the music here, cause my little brother figured ALL of what the
little kid says out.  I don't know if I can do that from memory, or even with
the tape, but here goes:
The first time is: (help me) daddy sister brother, shook my hand and called me
                   (***)
I just can't figure...Are you for real or not?
Whoops... I can't even remember the order...Well, I'll try to get back to you
on that. :)

The end is (***), the apple's ripe, I'm going to Japan...

Then the really deeep voice says,"Is that enough?"

I hope this helped.  :)

Date: 25 Aug 92 20:28:18 -0500
Organization: University of Northern Iowa

   This summer two instrumental guitar albums came out.  Now we have a choice,
but which one is the better guitarist?  Using a system that took me a month to
perfect, I have prepared a review based on these findings, so we can find out
who really is the best.
------
In one corner with two albums is Jeff Sheetz.  His latest is entitled _Dig!_. 
He has performed a couple of times with Bloodgood.

In the other corner is Lanny Cordola.  A former secular guitarist for House 
of Lords, he has appeared with shout, and the tamplin and friends albums,
before joining with Magdallan.  His first album is entitled "Accoustic
Warrior/Electric Saint".

Ladies and Gentlemen, let the showdown begin.

-------
Listenability- 10 pts (does it sound good?)

JS-7 some songs drag

LC-7.8 There are some bad choices for songs, which make the tape hard to listen
through

-------
Mix- 10 pts (music aside, how does the album sound?)

JS-10 a good mix this time, unlike _Woodpecker Stomp_

LC-10 unbelievable mixing especially on "Angry Candy"

-------
Believability- 10 pts (should the artist be doing this for a living?)

JS-9 Jeff does not show off enough to have a solo contract, but he would make
an excellent Lead guitarist for some band.

LC-10 With a heavy use of sitar & by using NO SYNTHS when you obviously think
you hear them, is a definite plus.

-------
Lyrical Content/Writing Skills 20 pts (when applicable)

JS-19 Not enough "standout" on some of the tunes, but impressive licks on
"ThrillSeeker" and "Rush Hour", and smooth playing on "Autumn Air"

LC-15 If you are planning to put a dumb song on an album (farbage valves), this
is an example of what not to do. (penalty points for dumb songs)

-------
Overall 10 pts (throw album across room and tell what you think)

JS-7 It's probably me, but some of the songs are beginnig to sound similar.

LC-8 What do you get when you cross a yawn, with a roller coaster....

-------
Presence 20 pts (does each insturment come out?)

JS: gui-6 2/3  bass-6 2/3  drums-5 2/3  need more drums, but otherwise a nice
sound altogether  Total:19

LC: gui-6 (bonus pt)  bass-5  drums-5  vocals-5 everything sounds great, vocals
only appear on two songs tho.  Guitar is unbelievable! Total:21

-------
Technical skills 20 pts (what do you think)

JS: gui-6 2/3  bass-6 2/3  drums-6 2/3  Job done with ease
total:20

LC: gui-7 (zowie bonus) bass-5  drums-5  vocals-5
total:22

--------
Final Notes:

JS- bigger sound than _stomp_, but pretty lame. not my choice
final total:91 (that's an -A, folks)

LC- Magdallan without Tamplin, I like that.  Awkward at times, brillant at
others.  My choice between the two for "excellent" listening.
final total:93.8 (THE WINNER)

Your entitled to your own opinion.

From what I remember, Ty said in a radio interview that it was about someone
who was suing the band, but i don't remember all the details...sorry

The interpretation I had when I first heard it was simply that a guy had lost his
had lost his job, basically a piece about how big corporations only care about
the bottom line and not about people but this seems to be wrong.
