I'm a Methodist, and I love these two songs (although "Ain't I Lonely Tonight" does still make me cringe because I was raised a Baptist...!) :) "Southern Believer 1" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm further violating internet etiquette because I'm quite familiar with the hoax content of that message. But so be it. That's why we have DELete keys. :^) I arrived in Japan in August of 1999, and have since had a ball. Although the transportation system here is incredible, "The Time Between Trains" caused me to search for other methods of mobility here. I was always late for this or that due to the waiting. And waiting at an outdoor train station is a cold experience. I'd much rather freeze moving that to freeze standing still. So since December, I've been riding a scooter around. This is a tiny scooter, 50cc engine - probably the cheapest way there is, to get around. But my first visit to the gasoline station was an eye-opener. I thought, with my American background, that prices weren't too bad. All over, stations advertise gasoline at about 115-120 yen, or just over a dollar. I'd think, "Well, heck. What's everyone complaining about prices here for? A dollar per gallon is cheap!" That was before I realized that there is no Japanese equivalent of a gallon. :^) The price is about $1 to $1.50 PER LITER, folks, or upwards of $4-$5 (sometimes $6) per gallon. Now on a scooter, that's still ever-so cheap, but I quickly determined that I won't be driving a car over here. :^) Yes, America has it good. We just don't get enough reminders of that fact. Fat, dumb, and happy (but complaining) - that's us. :^) We now return you to the regularly-scheduled Susan content. - -- Dennis Lovelady Fayetteville, GA mail: dennis@lovelady.com dennis.e.lovelady@ac.com URL: http://www.lovelady.com currently in Tokyo, Japan ICQ: 5734860 - -- "You grow up the day you have the first real laugh -- at yourself." - Ethel Barrymore HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2000 06:42:02 -0800 From: "Ron Rosen" Subject: Re: Gasoline prices and The Time Between Trains >Fat, dumb, and happy (but complaining) - that's us. :^) Obviously, you've become a big fan of Sumo wrestling.

Another Methodist checking in, also not offended by those two songs - in fact 'Ain't I Lonely Tonight' was one of the songs playing that made me go up to the counter in the store to buy 'Live @ Tin Angel' in the first place, back in '94.

(C) 2000 By Tim Dunleavy. ;-) This morning, after reading the lyrics to "Shot Tower" that Keith posted, I forwarded them on to a private mailing list I belong to. The list started as a gathering of about a dozen "Ally McBeal" fans, but we write about almost anything. About a month ago we had an extended thread about the six-year-old in Michigan who shot his classmate, and I thought "Shot Tower" was so moving that the others on the list would find it appropriate. One of the people on the list, a guy in Texas named Mark Frost, read the lyrics and wrote back: "Tim, love the lyrics! I am not familiar with her. What "style"? Is her music readily available, ie.at amazon? In other words, a place to have a listen-before-I-buy?" I wrote back to the list, telling him to search under her name at Amazon, and that he would find five sound snippets on the "Time Between Trains" page. This was his response: "WOW! I just check out every song on Amazon and ordered the CD (God that damned "oneClick costs me a fortune! :-) She's kind of "jazzy folk", yeah? There are times on this list when people say or do things that I thought only I thought or did. On amazon's referal artists, "Customers who bought this title also bought..." it lists other of my favorites that I've never at least physically met anyone who even knew of them. Cheryl Wheeler, Pati Larkin, Lucy Kaplansky. I feel less alone now. Thanks! My preliminary favorite cuts of the one's on Amazon are: 1. Sorry About Jesus 2 Time Between Trains 3 Petaluma Afternoons 4 Old Mistake 5 Bring 'Round The Boat I look forward to listening to the entire CD." Try my method and you, too, will win Susan new friends! - -Tim HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ End of believers-digest V4 #63 ****************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- This has been a posting from the Susan Werner believers-digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers-digest" in the body of the message
