Hey, Ed. Give me a call at the Yellow Tail number, will you? I have a package here for you that was sent back 'cause it was the wrong address....again. (If I'm not in the office, leave your current address.) Also, I might be able to help you out with digital copies of some of those songs your missing.

: Well, I just got a iPod, and my CD player is a single, so I'll follow the iPod branch. Have barely started loading the iPod, less than 300 tracks yet. (It's also an adjunct to my other new toy, my first digicam -- made sure to get a combo that could offload photos to the iPod.)

: Sooooo ... it's loaded with all the Uncle Bonsai, Electric Bonsai Band, and Mel Cooleys recordings. Well, not quite -- I haven't loaded the studio version of A Lonely Grain of Corn, nor converted the PMS song that appeared only on the LP and tape of LGC, nor the originals from Boys Want Sex in the Morning -- I know they aren't the same recordings but I'm not really into studying the differences. And I haven't had time to digitize Twenty Seconds of Pleasure.

: Then I have Big Times in a Small Town, the Martha's Vineyard concert -- originally got it because of Andrew's presence but one of my favorites for many of the songs. I have the CDs of the sequel but haven't loaded the -- not as dense with favorites.

: Live Wizardry, with Andy Stewart and the Silly Wizards. A friend sent me a copy of Andy's The Queen of Argyle, which I liked enough to get the whole album.The Queen of Argyle is on my sing-along collection.

: Also Andy Stewart's Song of Robert Burns.

: The Fairfield Four's Standing in the Safety Zone. Especially good sing-along when I want to sound mellower. Know any other recordings with a bass who hits a solo low B?

: And I too have one David Byrne album, but a totally different one: The Catherine Wheel. I have no idea whether I like any of his other stuff.

: What's on the iPod so far doesn't really represent the variety of my CDs that I'll eventually put there -- not to mention the 300 LPs that I'll barely begun to convert. No Beethoven: to me, the 3Bs are Bach, Brahms and Bartok. Herman Prey, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hildegard von Bingen, Leonard Bernstein ... I have digitized my LP of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris (recorded about the time he died of lung cancer), and that will get on the iPod soon, and perhaps some of the "real" Brel recordings too. Candide has to come very soon. And and and and and ...
