Of course, I do my best to introduce EVRYONE I know to Basia's music. "Olive Tree" seems to be the most hated; my mom and I agree that not too many Americans can handle music that strays too far from 4/4 or 3/4 ("Olive Tree"'s time signature plays hopscotch all over the place). It happens to be (if forced to make the choice) one of MY favorite songs by her. I've found that the only way to suck people into the trap is to play "Cruising..." or "Time And Tide" for them, to elicit a small "hey this sounds familiar" from them. Then I beat them over the head with the "Illusion" album about a month later. P.S. I asked about a year ago and don't recall a positive response - has anyone ever seen a vinyl copy of "The Sweetest Illusion"? the Capitalist (Jeff) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Oct 1997 05:31:47 -0400 From: roach2@juno.com Subject: Re: Hug 2/4 an 5/8 olive 3/4 tree 4/4 On Sun, 19 Oct 1997 02:02:21 -0400 rsystem2@juno.com (Jeff A Hamilton) writes: >P.S.

You won't find a domestic vinyl version unless there was some sort of special DJ promotional pressing or something, which there isn't. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 16:41:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Jack Eadon Subject: Number one fan Dear Basia: I wrote you to your English address several months ago. I'm still waiting for a response, even a token one. I'm the guy who had the brain surgeries and listens to you religiously while I exercise every day. I want to see you perform SO BAD! I live in Orange County, California, south of LA. When are you coming here? I just finished another draft of my book. Its heroine is a Basia fan who dances to TIME AND TIDES and LONDON WARSAW NEW YORK everytime she needs to think something through. Please respond! Thanks.
