Hey, does this album have any Gentle Giant stuff? Actually, to tie this to another thread, I imported a MIDI file of "Three Friends" into Band-In A-Box and I thought it was going to explode! So many chord changes, so little time...

Is that the old bluegrass standard that starts off with the words "Yonder sits Little Maggie with a dram glass in her hand"? I have a mean bass line for that! Used to play in a bluegrass band back in 1975; I still have a tape (since burned to CD) and in the true spirit of co-incidence even listened to it today.

I have never had the pleasure of hearing them and have been contemplating posting to Ecto in inquiry of them. Tell me where to send the check :) Suzanne (email filtered and set to exclusive contacts) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 18:12:36 -0600 From: "Knapp, Kevin E." Subject: RE: Transit time from Sweden to the US? Well, I have ordered a couple of CDs and books from Germany, and they generally took 6-8 weeks to arrive.

Has anyone here ever ordered CDs from Skivhugget in Sweden to be sent to the U.S.? I ordered a couple of Elin Sigvardsson CDs that I am told were sent out on 4/25 but there is no way to track them. Five weeks later I'm wondering if i'm ever going to see them. How long do those of you in the U.S. typically have to wait for your European parcels to arrive?

I've ordered from Skivhugget several times and don't recall any particularly long delays--if I recall correctly, they've sent everything airmail and it took around 10 days. I could be wrong, though: surface mail seems to take 6-8 weeks if they were sent that way. Embarrassingly, I don't really pay that much attention to timing and kind of forget what I've ordered. I get more delightful surprises that way. - --Neile At 6:02 PM -0400 6/10/03, Dan_Stark wrote: >Has anyone here ever ordered CDs from Skivhugget in Sweden to be >sent to the U.S.?
