Amy, This may sound odd, but you've been on my mind, especially in the last week or two. I know you don't know me at all, but ever since you mentioned that you sang, it kinda' stayed with me. I don't know if it's a spiritual thing or not, but it does seem that an Irish girl with red hair named Amy who sings is like, yes of course, she can sing!! Like you are a "shoe in" for it or something. (I myself am a pastor/worship leader/keyboardist, for what that's worth.) Anyway, if you get or have anything recorded, I would be very interested in hearing it. Phil P. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 00:55:55 -0800 (PST) From: "Desianto F. W."

I always thought that "Nervous" was the worst song in the MB backcatalogue (together with "R&B" and "Jack of Clubs") while "Gran Via" has some magnificent songwriting: "Victim of Love" is in my Top 5 of MB songs of all time.

IMHO, all faithful fans here deserve to receive good words no matter how big their contributions are. Being faithful is not easy esp. if we have to wait for years. So, no matter what you do in this list, whether you're writing and sharing a lot or just lurking and reading the posts, all of you deserves the good words for your faithfulness. Czesc, Desianto F.

Well, folks. . .I used to have the songbook for Sweetest Illusion. I bought it so a good friend of mine, Samirah Evans, could sing Yearning. . .at my wedding in 1996 (the last one.) She asked for it, I gave it to her, didn't think I'd need it again. (It was a fantastic wedding; shame the marriage didn't last!) To all who have offered photocopies: I'll see what songs will be the best for me and a piano, and let you know. I didn't expect such a response; I was expecting more along the lines of, "oh, this is really funny!" But the surprise responses are greatly appreciated. I'll write y'all individually when I figure this out. My district leader is going to ask her daughter's piano teacher where she buys sheet music around here, and I'm going to call a piano company near my office and see what they say. I'll keep you posted. Thanks so much. Amy - -- Max Wellhouse wrote: I have both and they were ordered through a music store in North Little Rock.

O'Donnell" Subject: Re: Yeah, well. . . Hi, Phil: You're right, it does sound a bit odd! But. . .I really am Irish (my father's side) but I have to confess that my red hair is L'Oreal. Sorry, my Dad's side grays very early, and at 25 I got sick of it, and well. . .my parents have finally gotten used to it, a little. No, I've never recorded, just sang a bit in chorus a few times. Dreamed of being a star once. . .Dad talked me out of that, too. A few years ago I discovered that I could no longer sing. Speaking was fine, but singing didn't happen no matter how hard I tried. One day I found out that I'm hypothyroid, and well, that does a lot of things to mess up your system--singing voice included. About a year ago I started taking something called Thyodine, I bought it from The Green Willow Tree (on-line.) Some time after that, surprise, I could sing in my car again! With BASIA! Of course, I popped the tape-Time and Tide, that is. But I still have the CD. Just so you know what I look like, I've attached a picture. Nobody's naked, honest! My two felines are with me, Santa is holding one of them. It was a benefit for a local animal shelter, and I brought a huge bag of cat food (I had a coupon, of course.) I will also tell you that for 18 years I've been practicing Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, although I was Catholic until I was 24. I sang in church as well as Buddhist activities. If you decide to look it up, I belong to the Houston area Soka Gakkai International-USA, a lay Buddhist organization in 190 countries, but head quartered in Japan. (We chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo; it's basic tenant of this practice, but there are many sects.) I've been meaning to get to SGI chorus practice but I can never seem to make the sessions! My karma I guess. . .now a while back I was at my district leaders' house for a meeting, and they have 3 kids who all play music. One wanted to play Jim Brickman's Valentine, but I didn't know it so it didn't happen. I found in one of her songbooks "Don't Cry For Me Argentina," and I sang the chorus--I don't know the rest. Boy was that a mistake. I got a call from the wife, Ann, after the planning meeting. . .and they got this idea that Amy should sing. She said "Celine Dion," but I can't stand Celine Dion! Oh, the opportunities to fall flat on my face never cease to find me. . .but it's something to overcome, to stretch and to go farther than you have before. That's one of the things we practice for. I asked her to ask the piano teacher about where to buy sheet music; I got a call today, and right there at the local mall. I'll stop by there one day this week after work and check out what they have. I might find something besides Basia, but I'd prefer Basia, I like to sing it. Okay, I guess I've been over sharing. I'm sorry. I don't disparage the Christian religions, only the ones that mislead and misguide people. You know what I'm talking about. Of course, singing in my car is a whole lot different than in front of an audience. By myself! But you know, I've been chanting for a while to be able to sing Basia's music for the members. Be careful what you wish for!! Anyway, it's 11:15, and I'm TIRED--I gotta sleep. I'll let y'all know what happens. Thanks, Phil.
