Thats the best I can do, oh, BTW I had a serious thing going on with my drummer in the 80's! It actually broke up my main relationship and not the band... cheers, Michael.

Thank-You B. Our Biggest Sale Ever C. A New Look For www.sheeba.ca A. Thank-You Jane would like to thank everyone for coming out and making the Beauty Train Solo Tour so successful, and so much fun. Jane and all of us at Sheeba would especially like to thank our wonderful merchandise volunteers in cities across North America, for giving the incomparable gift of time. We couldn't do it without you. B. Our "Biggest Sale Ever" Sale We are clearing our shelves to make room for new music. We hope you will visit us at and take advantage of our biggest sale ever. http://www.sheeba.ca/shop_cart/cat1SHEEBASTORE.php Everything will be 40% off from February 11th through February 18th. This is the last chance to get many discontinued items of which we expect to sell out (brown, green, red and kids hockey shirts and illuminhati hats, illuminscarfi scarves as well as some hard to find tapes - yes we even have tapes). We will be giving away a bonus Jane 101 CD (our latest release) with every purchase as a Valentines present to you while supplies last. C. A New Look For www.sheeba.ca Thanks to PromoFact, Boompa Arts, and our wonderful webmaster Kevin Cooper, our site will have a new look in the coming days and a brand new improved store. We will let you know when the site is live and you will be able to browse the store in anticipation of our BIGGEST SALE EVER sale. Jane is sitting here as I type and she just said "That is silliest name for a sale I ever heard. What about illunminsalei? Then you call the newsletter illuminsaleletti." "Yes that is much better," I said, "but I am going to stick with the Biggest Sale Ever Sale if that is OK."

On Saturday evening woj and I were involved in a birthday dinner with my immediate family in Tucson (where Faun Fables were playing less than a mile away and we couldn't go :P), so getting to Philly for the show wasn't exactly in the cards. :( I've *really* gotta perfect this bilocation thing. greg footahed: >'scool. glad to see it's all three of them. i've been listening to >"heaven or las vegas" a lot recently. anyone have recommendations for >post-Twins output? i know Robin and Simon have been involved in >various projects for their label, but i haven't heard anything... I must highly recommend Lisa Dewey. She's one of Simon's projects, and it shows. Very tasty stuff. This is the CD of hers that lived in the car for a long time last year: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lisadewey4 Keep an eye out -- she lives in the Bay Area and plays out there occasionally. Now to go listen to that MP3 of "Into The West" -- thanks, Vickie!!! =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2005 23:58:14 -0500 From: "Suzanne DeCory" Subject: Vickie Mapes MP3, Kaki King Firstly, a BIG shout out to Vickie!! Thank you Thank you Thank you. You are truly a Godess next to Happy :) You always bring Happy to our lucky ears, the few who can't always attend her shows :( I just love you for it. And, with permission of course, keep sending! I'm sure I speak for many.. we appreciate and adore you for it! As for Kaki King, have I been in the dark? Lol... I've only just heard of her. I like her. She's so different. Reminds me of Ani Difranco a bit. Nice to see another female guitarist out there.. Okay, back to humming ...... Into the West.....
