My hat's off to Mr. Jeff Hayford for muscling out the haps at The New England Songwriter's Festival this weekend past. The second of what looks to become an annual event for many years to come, this is a delightful event held in a most beautiful area, and is a boon to all New England writers. New friends and old, performers both national and local are brought together at some truly provincial venues for three nights of great tunes and atmosphere. Thanks Jeff - tis an honor to know ya. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, Sep 19 8:00pm Middle Earth Music Hall, Bradford, VT 802-222-4748 A way cool concert series offered by Chris Jones - a way cool guy, in the lovely community of Bradford, VT - right on the Connecticut River.

If You've Read This Far Dept. Who said it? A few interesting and well-educated responses: John Lennon Mark Twain Jonathan Swift Ambrose Bierce MAN, n. An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earh and Canada. LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nationsbreathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient. from The Devil's Dictionary The real answer: Charlie Brown says to Linus, "You can't be a doctor, you don't love mankind," to which LINUS replies, "Oh, I love mankind; it's people I can't stand."
