Subject: Defining ourselves in HTML

This might seem a little juvenile, but considering how much we all love
each other (or at least, considering how much Meg Evans loves us all!), I
was wondering if a web page along the lines of "Introducing the people who
talk about Basia whenever the opportunity presents itself" is out of the
question or not? If you know what I mean.

(Persons proficient in the English language, please suggest better ways for
me to have said all that!)

I've seen it done for quite a few mailing lists and IRC channels. I'm sure
you all know the drill - name/occupation/hobbies/pets/et cetera. It would
be something interesting to do, and at least the compiling of information
for such a page would be (for me anyway) a fresh new topic to talk about.

Just a thought...

<<Yes, I am in total agreement with Larry's comment about Sophia's unhappiness
and  discontent about not having Basia info and silly talk and others feeling
the same way.

I joined the mailing list for the same reasons I'm sure most others did. To
have comments, opinions, & just plain mutual love for Basia.

That's right! No new news for Basia but we are here to patiently wait from
some 
tid-bit of info on her.  In the meantime, we can interact with others from
many different places.  I speak english because I was raised in America. I
know of one mailer who writes in French and I am not upset.  

Aren't the others in different countries who have met someone on the list from
their country,able to chat with them? Yes, we do personal e-mail to each other
as well but I think the point of the list is to meet others with a common
topic of Basia and as Larry stated, talk about other interests ... i.e. music,
even a semi-dull topic of Chevy or Ford. It's preference,likes,dislikes and so
on. The list lets you give your views and it is natural to go off on other
subjects. It is getting to know each other.

I am grateful that I have the opportunity to access info & people about an
issue such as Basia and share our thoughts. Not everyone is going to agree
with what is said and being a little funny and interesting is a healthy thing!

Maybe something can be done for translating foreign languages so that everyone
has a say about anything, including, of course, Basia and we can all
understand what is being said.

Speak your mind and join in!  I LOVE BASIA- How's That! Basia-related enough!

Jeff, YES this list IS archived!  I know because after I left in a snit, I
checked out the day's offerings at the smoe.org website.  I THINK it's
www.smoe.org.  You'll see all the appropriate links to the Basia stuff.
It's kind of fun!  The world won't come to an end if you trash all your
Basia stuff; that's not going to happen until the new millenium begins
(which is when I heard Basia will be producing her new triple live CD).

Subject: "...Broadway" press release

One of the items which I ordered from Jeff was a 550 Music press release
regarding "Basia On Broadway". Interestingly, in Basia's bio, it makes
mention of Danny White's birthday (26 August 1959) but not Basia's
birthday. Perhaps there is a long-winded conspiracy to keep me from ever
finding this out. Perhaps I will have to take a plane to Poland and break
into the Department of Vital Records.

The bio also makes mention of a band she was in as a teenager, called
Alibabki. Do any recordings (demos, boots, whatever) of performances by
this group exist? Ditto for her second band, Perfect.

For lack of any thing else new Basia-related, I guess I'll just read this
press release over and over and over.

Subject: Re: Anybody else do Basia's style??

Actually, it is really weird that I was thinking along the same lines this morning.

I think considering vocal timbre, Sarah McLaclan has a voice somewhat similar to Basia.  Nowhere near the same range.  In fact I was thinking about a song by Sarah called Elsewhere and how immense an experience it would be to hear them sing it as a duet.

That, after several months of thought, is the closest I have come to comparisons along this vein.  The problem is that Basia has an AMAZING voice and she sings with a latin tinge in the music.  Most of the songstesses with a Latin voice sound very different from her.

But check out Sarah's "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy".  If you like Basia, I can't see you NOT liking Sarah.

Half my CD collection are "Basia type" musical interests. For a start, the

Singers Unlimited - Acappella Series, Salsa Picante & 2 + 2, Nando
Lauria....., Ryan Cayayab has an Acappella album that is totally outrageous

York for the Nth time, it returns with a newness that is unparalleled.

 Dude, have you ever heard Basia singing "Half a minute" at 33rpm?  It
sounds very odd. At normal speed it is a wonderful song. easily one of the
best songs. The exteneded version that Danny White co-produced with Mark
Reilly of Matt Bianco in 1984 has a nice drum bridge in the middle with
"Basia vocal squeaks". I write stuff like that because I get bored. I've
been listening to Basia sing since 1983.

I don't really have any (or know of any) music similar to Basia's, as far
as her voice is concerned; but Arturo Sandoval and (especially) Michel
Camilo have excellent latin/jazz albums out.

Rather than blindly shelling out money though (like 15 dollars), go rent
(for two dollars) "Two Much" (Antonio Banderas / Melanie Griffith / Darryl
Hannah). It's a pretty funny (and stupid) comedy (well, good for couples I
guess - but I've always preferred films like "Seven"), but when I watched
it, I could barely concern myself with the inane storyline for the
wonderful music. Michel Camilo composed the entire score. The soundtrack
rocks.

Err you mean from the  *Live at Biggin Hill* gig :) :) :)

Otherwise how can you have a triple live CD when you don't tour ?

I think its getting very close to having *Rotor Router* being sent around to
the Basia household to get her unclogged.

Now that this list has picked up traffic-wise, I wanted to post a
few reminders:

1) Our mailing list software does not support HTML or styled text
   in email (and even if it did, I wouldn't permit it--HTML is
   for the web, not mail). If you send messages to the list that
   contain HTML or Microsoft's formatting information I'll return
   the message to you.

2) We also don't support binary attachments, as they tend to clog
   up the system and take extra space in the archives. If you do
   send an attachment, I'll return it to you with a note asking
   you to post your file on a web page and announce the
   location, or offer to mail it out directly to interested
   people.

3) Please don't forget that there's a real person behind each
   email address. Some of the exchanges have been a little hot
   lately, and I'd like to ask all of you to think before you 
   send out something you (or the rest of us) might regret later.
   I will not micro-manage this list--you all are on your own
   to keep this place civil.

4) In general, I don't permit people to sell things on lists I
   host (I'm forking out over $150/month to pay for smoe.org's
   connection to the internet and I don't care for people making
   money off of my hard work).

   I have made exceptions in the past, but given the trouble
   that recent sales have caused on this list, I must now ask
   that you do not offer any items for sale via this list.

Thanks,

Jeff
