Can you explain, please? Do you mean Happy is against dentists poisoning their patients with nitrogen dioxide? (or did you mean N O?) Or that she's in favour of cats to filter it out of car exhausts? 2 I'm confused. Concerning regional variations (Bristol, born 1969): Soft drinks were, as children, simply fizzy drinks or (amongst the older generations) pop (never pops, in the same way that waters isn't (except that that is sometimes)). What's a soda fountain? Footware worn in gym; I think this is probably changing, but the rubber-soled, canvas topped sort-of elasticated slip on affairs were known as daps. This was also possibly applicable to lace-up varieties. I am fairly certain this is a very localized (Bristol & environs only?) term. Trainers are indeed the generic term for your general vaguely sportish footwear here. Ring-a-ring-a-roses, a pocket full of posies, atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down. (Definite palatal colouration of onset of oo in atishoo... unsurprising I suppose) If you want to find out about the Bristolian accent, there are a number of small books on the subject (published in the 70s) by someone whose name escapes me called things like Speak Bristle Proper; I think there's a single volume compilation of all of them. No idea about availability, but they're a grey tide eel. Never heard of Ally Ally Oxenfree before now, a rather more prosaic "Come out wherever you are" seemed to be in favour when (and where) I was a boy. I was lousy at hide-and-seek; it didn't occur to me that the point was *not* to find somewhere to hide where *no-one* would think of looking...consequently I was never `it'. Crows? No. But magpies, certainly; One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told. I thought that was pretty universal. Although something's nagging at me that there is another rhyme about magpies that starts One for a birth, two for a death...

I haven't read through all of yesterday's posts yet, so I don't know if anyone else addressed the Jane Siberry portion of your post. I don't think _No borders here_ is really the best representation of Jane's work. She has come a long way since that album was recorded. My favorite Jane album is _The Walking_ which I highly reccommend, but is definitely not, 'easy' listening. Also superb is Jane's latest effort, _When I was a boy_, possibly the best place for you to start. Hope you like them!

Our family (I grew up in Reading, a suburb of Boston) used the term 'tonic' in reference to carbonated beverages.

Here in New England, ordering regular coffee will yield a coffee with cream and sugar. Isn't it true that a regular coffee in other parts of the country will result in a black coffee?

Michael ======================================================================== Date: Wed, 12 Jan 1994 08:01:14 -0500 (EST) From: Michael Colford Subject: New York and CD purchases Hi all! I spent a fun filled week (or at least 5 days) in New York last week! Stayed with a friend in Brooklyn (Park Slope) and spent a lot of money. Would like to reccommend a couple of movies and plays that we saw! _Philadelphia_ was better than I expected. Tom Hanks does a terrific job, and except for a couple minor moments, I was very pleased with the movie on a whole. Also saw _Far away, so close_, Wim Wenders' sequel to _Wings of desire_. It's long, and if you didn't like _Wings_, you probably won't like this, but I really enjoyed it. Be pre- pared for dramatic shifts in style and tone. New Jane Siberry song sounded very intriguing! (Haven't been able to find the soundtrack yet :^() As for plays, we saw _Angels in America : Millenium approaches_ and were blown away. I had read Tony Kushner's script and was somewhat underwhelmed, but the production was incredible! Screen actress Marcia Gay Harden (_Used people, _Miller's crossing_, _Late for dinner_) was really marvelous. We are going to return in May to see part 2, _Perestroika_ and I can't wait! We waited in line for an hour the morning of the play to pick up $10.00 balcony seats. The seats were fine but it was really freezing in that line! We also saw an off-Broadway play called _Jeffrey_ written by Paul Rudnick (of _Addam's family_ fame) Jeffrey is a gay man who loves sex, but becomes celibate because of AIDS. The next day he falls in love with an HIV+ man. The problem is, Jeffrey is still celibate! Very funny! Now as for CD purchases . . . I didn't find a huge amount of difference between the Boston music stores and the N.Y. ones. A few more imports, I guess, and lots more vinyl, but overall I didn't find much that I had never seen before. Amazingly, I could find no Happy Rhodes in any of the stores I visited! It was an outrage! Here's what I got: - Alison Moyet - Falling, b/w Ode to boy (acoustic) CDsingle - Crowded house - Together alone (Mispriced import CD - $9.98!) - That petrol emotion - Fireproof - All about Eve - BBC Radio One Live in concert (Liner notes said they broke up! :^( - Not drowning waving - Circus - One dove - Morning dove white - Victoria Williams - Happy come home Not in N.Y., but during my circa Christmas shopping spree, I bought: - The moon seven times - The moon seven times - Big hat - Selena at my window - Heart - Desire walks on - Hooters - Out of body - Various - No alternative And for Christmas, I got: - Melissa Etheridge - Yes I am - Oleta Adams - Evolution Haven't listened to anything too much, but I really like Alison's new single. I was worried that producer Ian Broudie wouldn't mesh with Alison's style, but it's great. Acoustic version of _Ode to boy_ is great too! Well, take it easy!

Old Jane Siberry albums - somehow, Windham Hill now owns High Street (?) records; I saw the older Jane albums on the product listing, there's even an 800- phone if anybody's interested. 3.

A friend asked me to tape it for him, and all I can say is that after reading the books (come on, I was 5 when the serial was in the Chronicle) I have to admit that If you want a production done right, you should send it to Channel Four in England- they have class. 5.

I am one of those sad souls who was surprised by just such a drink when i ordered a 'regular' coffee in Mass. And, like a polite WestCoast git, i actually drank it. I did not make the same mistake twice. :) I also remember ordering a 'plain' bagel one day in NYC -- with cream cheese. The 'friendly' host sarcasticly reminded me that if i wanted cream cheese on the thing, then it wouldn't be plain then, would it?! Guess i should have correctly described the object as a 'water' bagel.

New Alison Moyet - when is it to be released? I haven't found it yet. The last date I've heard for the new Alison Moyet is that its been pushed back to March 1. Urgg! Considering it was originally supposed to come out the day The Red Shoes was released, this is getting ridiculous. Looking forward to hearing it. Speaking of Crows, Neal and I went to see Sheryl Crow last Monday night. In one of those ecto-synchronicity moments, he sent me e-mail asking if I'd be interested in going, I'd forgotten all about it, decided to turn to the radio station that was hosting the event, she was in studio, they were giving free CDs, I won one, we went to the concert, I picked up the free CD the next day. It seemed like I went from hearing nothing about her to being bombarded by her. As for the concert, it was pretty good. She has a great smile, and a nice concert presence, except when she plays guitar solos, when she invariably turns her back to the audience. Her keyboard playing is pretty manic. Its kind of hard to peg her style. Just when you think you've got it figured out she sounds completely different on the next song. She co-wrote many of the songs on her album with David Baerwald and David Ricketts of David & David fame. Her lyrics are pretty impressive. Her voice is a little inconsistent. But on the whole it was a good show, and was definitely worth the price of admission ($5). The CD was also worth the drive to the radio station to pick it up. :) For those in England, I see that Alison Limerick has a single in the Top 40. How is it? Anything like the work she's done with This Mortal Coil? I love the she sings with them, but the only review of the new single I've seen said something about her being a "dance diva". Definitely does not sound like the Alison LImerick I'm used to, who covers Judy Collins songs like "My Father". I was just curious. I always loved her voice but have never seen or heard anything else by her. She reminds me a lot of Alison Moyet. Well, that's all for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Hanson hanson@ast.saic.com ======================================================================== Subject: Re: babbling time again Date: Wed, 12 Jan 94 13:57:56 -0500 From: Dan Riley tjshadb@ecto.ca.sandia.gov (Troy J.

First that called for my response was a question raised by...er...somebody...as to whether any of us can sing 2 or more notes simultaneously. I can. I just learned about 2 months ago. Our comparison was to the Gyuto Monks, however. For anyone with ANY voice control (I'm NOT a singer...(but I play one on TV?)) it's actually not that hard to learn. Supposedly, I should be able to get three at a time, but I'm only willing to claim two simultaneously...though the other guys I learned with claim that they get 3, and that I do, too, but I don't hear it. One note in the throat. One in the nasal cavity. One in the mouth (This is the one, that I can't get) Deep tones are best (for me), but it seems that each person has a preferred resonant frequency. Mine seems to be about the A or B one octave below middle C. If somebody wants, I can TRY to explain it over the list/email, but I don't know, it's more like one of those verbal traditions, in that you need constant feedback.
