I don't know about using books on the stomache and singing supine to improve
breath support... The method I used was quite effective, but took a while.

I played in marching bands for 10 years! If THAT won't develop breath 
support, NOTHING will!  <<grin>>

This blurb only applies if you're seeing it on the groups it was first posted
in, namely rec.music.info and rec.music.folk, and then only if you're using
some standard piece of software to read usenet.

The address you're meant to reply to, as best as I can tell from the headers,
is jmcarlin@well.sf.ca.us (Jerry Carlin) (Internet address).

If I had replied to the message as I saw it, it would have gone to Rick Ellis,
the filk mailing list maintainer.  Someone seeing it in alt.filk would
probably
have replied to Eli.  I imagine folks on Fidonet would have replied to
"Usenet@blah.blah.fidonet.org" or somesuch...

In a desperate attempt to keep this filk oriented, can someone tell me

Uh, Joe . . . it was at least in the play, sung by the waiters in the cabaret,
rather than by that blond Boy Scout ;^), but I have it from two possibly inde-
pendent sources that it's ripped . . . er, borrowed from an authentic, original,
true-to-colors Hitler Youth song.  Still, I've never been able to get this
beyond the level of rumor.  I keep hoping I can, on account of because of the
reason that I'd love to get the lyrics in German.  It's a very powerful song
and quite sinister, indeed, quite scary, in historical context, but still a
muchfun2sing sort of thing.

This is mostly for the information of those of you on the usenet side of the
gate: PLEASE keep your messages down to a maximum of 4, maybe 5 screens in
length.  If it takes up more room than that, divide it up into multiple posts. 
 While Usenet is set up to handle an almost indefinite message file length,
anything over about 6K has the potential of causing at least some of the
software at various FIDO sites to barf royally.  One got through awhile back
that was 25K in length - I didn't notice at the time because I didn't READ the 
whole thing (it was a schedule) and the Aerie is not one of those sites with
this problem, but it's quite likely that it did not make it very far into the 
FIDO side of the net.  (I noticed when the archiver barfed on it.)

The reason for this is that FIDO allows an almost unlimited variety of
computers and bbs programs (this is also why only vanilla ascii is allowed -
one computer's high end ascii is another's control code...)  Some can handle
things others can't.  For example, the Aerie is currently running OPUS on a
IBM XT (though we're switching to MAXIMUS on a 386 later this year), but I
know of sites using Amigas, Apples (all kinds), and even a few of the dinkier 
Commodores.  (For all I know there may be a few Trash-80s still out there.) 
So, in the interests of harmony with the neighbors, please to keep individual 
messages short.

Thank you.

With all the military filks, I thought I'd toss this in --
a college friend spent some time on missle crew in North
Dakota -- one of those two people in the bottom of a missile
silo with keys around their necks and .45's at their hips,
waiting for a phone call they don't want to get...

Anyway, a couple of the officers put together a tape.
Really good singing, too.  One of the songs was a 
parody of "Little Boxes".

   Little boxes in Montana
   Little boxes in Dakota
   Little boxes in Wyoming
   Little boxes, all the same.
   There's a green one, and
   A green one, and a green one
   And a green one, and they're
   All made out of ticky-tacky
   And they all look just the same.

(Approximately, anyway.)  I don't recall the verses, which
were about how much "fun" it was to be on missile crew.

Thank you, Mark - that's where _I_ heard the song and I quite agree with you. 
 Sort of a weird counterpoint to the "Marsillaise" scene in CASABLANCA.  You
can do things with song that you really can't do as effectively any other way. 
 (One thing I like to do with my keyboard, or whatever musical instrument I

  "O my Johnnie, don't you know
   That the world is turning slow,
   And the living  ain't so easy as she was so long ago.
   If I had a thing to telll you, still I'd tell you one more time:
  That the world is always turning towards the morning."

Thanks...Richard

I think it wasn't just Joey Shoji singing Cranes, Eli, I remember at ConChord 
5 (I think it was 5), Technical Difficulties not only sang it, but SIGNED it
(Ameslan, I believe).  To put it mildly. the reaction was very positive.
 
For instance, the last time I did a 1-shot by myself at ConChord (last year), 
I did "Everything Possible" (anything possible?), and got my first standing
ovation for a 1-shot.  It was a bit difficult to finish 
(because it made me think of my then-1-1/2 mo. old niece and nephew 
whose combined weight was something like 6#) and the audience ended up helping 
me at the end.  I'll never forget that.

Radio & Records magazine, a trade magazine used by most every radio station
nationwide, reported in its July 3rd edition that Westwood One, the network
which distributes the Dr. Demento show is cancelling the show after 14 years.

This is not a load of crap, it's the truth.  Trust me.  I didn't believe it at 
first, either.  Then I saw the letter which Westwood One sent to radio
stations which carry Dr D.  He is no longer going to be syndicated by 
Westwood One.

What does this mean for all of us?  Who knows.  Maybe it's a big joke on me. I 
hope so.  Maybe another network can pick up Dr. D and distribute it. Who
knows.  I'm really bummed.

Just thought that everyone should know.

Given government purchasing practices, it seems that the
