I'd just like to wish us all a Ferry Merry Christmas. My husband was complaining the other night that the only music I play in the house these days is BF and RM. We went to see Lord of the Rings last night and while waiting for the movie to start what came on what was playing - Virginia Plain. He's a fan also - he was at the concert but he likes to hear other music from time to time.

When ATGB was released I immediately started to do my own wishing list and I believe they are from 30s/40s/50s - most of them. I'm sure there is plenty titles some of you have never heard! You are tooooo young! Where or when has always been my no 1, but no need for him to repeat, if he he don't want to try it in 3/4 tempo, but I don't think so! So here is my list: Someone to watch over me Love is a many-splendoured thing It only happens when I dance with you (!) If I loved you My Funny Valentine Unchained Melody Oh what it seams to be All the things you are As I love you September in the rain There, I've said it again Body and soul Solitude I cried for you It had to be you Don't blame me After you've gone Blue moon I get a kick out of you I'll never smile again At last It's been a long, long time Exactly like you I can't give you anything buy love Inn the still of the night I consentrate on you After you've gone My blue heaven Body and soul Sweet Georgia Brown Serenade in blue The very thought of you I'll close my eyes On the sunny side of the steet Sophisticated Lady Again You made me love you My Prayer It's magic The gipsy They didn't believe me Long ago and far away On the sunny side of the street Don't fence me in For sentimental reasons It's been a long,long time Stardust What is this thing called love Stormy weather With a song in my heart Symphony Blue skies Life is nothing without music Til then Day by day Thanks for the memory But beautiful In the still of the night Embracable you And I love you so Even 'Feelings'' I could listen to again! Oh, it's much more I could mention. I wonder if aunt Enid has learned him all this? Dear Mr.McCormick, you wouldn't give him this list, would you, so he 'll have something 'to rest on' inbetween all his next own 4-5 productions!?! All the best and Merry Christmas to all! God jul!

These Foolish Things 06. Chance Meeting 07. Avalon 08. Serenade 09. True To Life 10. In Your Mind 11. Three and Nine 12. Nightingale 13. Another Time, Another Place 14. Dance Away 15. Beauty Queen 16. Jealous Guy 17. It Ain't Me Babe 18. Running Wild Cover Versions. "Old Shep". Yet another song covered by Elvis on his 1972 "Seperate Ways" album, which included Always On My Mind. I did consider Old Shep, but changed it for Always On My Mind, to cut down the ridicule. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 12:22:45 -0000 From: "terrypaulrigz8c" Subject: [AVALON] Cover Versions!! Kari & Michael, You both choose some great song selections, Michael, "Running Wild" is an inspired choice and an undervalued song from the Roxy cannon, I personally wouldn't want to hear "It ain't me Babe" changed, along with "The "In" Crowd" I think it was one of the few good covers on ATAP, but if I never heard "Oh Yeah" again I wouldn't mind too much. Kari, one persons name springs to mind after reading your selection (you have wonderful taste in music, as does everyone here, grovel grovel). That name is Nelson Riddle, his orchestrations were so delicate and beautiful they would have suited Bryans voice perfectly. "I close my eyes" would be perfect for BF.

The Recording Artists Coalition, a trade group representing more than 100 entertainers, has booked several sites in Los Angeles for the Feb. 26 concerts. Money raised from the concerts will help fund an offensive against the major record labels for allegedly denying musicians a share of royalty earnings. Courtney Love and the Dixie Chicks are embroiled in their own legal battle accusing their labels of exploiting them financially and locking them into long-term contracts. "It's about time for artists to take control of their work and how it is presented to our fans," said Dexter Holland of the band Offspring, which will perform as part of the effort. Record companies deny the allegations and say musicians are receiving a fair share of revenue and royalties The five shows will feature different genres - pop, alternative, rhythm and blues, hard rock and country music. Other artists confirmed for the performances include Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks, Weezer, Dixie Chicks and Ozzy Osbourne. More artists were expected to join the list in coming weeks. Grammy chief Michael Greene said he is supportive of the concerts. "I would absolutely not support this if I thought it was just an in-your-face thing against the labels," Greene said. The tentative lineup is Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow, the Eagles, Dixie Chicks and Stevie Nicks at the Forum in Inglewood; Offspring, No Doubt, Weezer at the Long Beach Convention Center; Ozzy Osborne at the Los Angeles Sports Arena; rhythm and blues acts to be announced at the Universal Amphitheatre; and country artists at an undetermined fifth site.
