Dear Crumpets, It is my great displeasure to relate to you a small tragedy of biblical proportions that occured at my home two weeks ago, and from which we, meaning myself as well as the band and the Traitor Records/EA staff are still recovering from, that tragedy being, namely, a robbery of all important life-running utensils, computers, gear, and databases. Now, which one of you did it? Just kidding. But truly, everything was in fact stolen, and while I was present as well, which is most shocking to me as it is a well known fact that I could take a small rabbit in a fight. Apparently the thieves were not aware of this, because they pranced right on in and cleaned out the studio from top to bottom while I was on the phone in another room, and the band was napping in yet another after the usual weekly asylum office party. All computers, all ability to get online, all ability to record, gone. But the worst of it is the priceless databases containing the orders yet to be shipped, and the fan contacts for all of you, you sweet sugarless chocolate raspberry cake bits. Not to mention the gigs of music and personal files lost forever. An absolute tragedy. We've been recovering slowly from this chaos with the purchase of new gear which enables me to finally be back online and for the label to get back to customer service and answering e-mails. Thus, the orders are back being shipped and your letters will be answered in the order they were received, as they say. Thank you all for your understanding, patience, support, and teacake during this time, it's been an unexpected blow to progress and we all took the loss very hard, but with the help of you all, we can get it back up and running and better than before. I will be requesting that everyone re-sign up for the mailing list/Bloomer Brigade, and will likely have more requests for you in the near future as we attempt to figure out who'se order has been shipped and whose has not. My extreme thanks goes to Miss Caroline (our gracious hostess of order-shipping-outing) and the Crumpets (Lady JH and Mistress Tristen) for keeping the ship from sinking... With all the strength of adversity (or is it denial?), EA - ---End Quote--- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2006 09:23:09 -0400 From: Dave Subject: Re: ecto-digest V12 #144 Sounds like it might be "London" by Steeleye Span from their Rocket Cottage album (still love the cover art for that one). The chorus is: London is a dainty place, A great and gallant city! All the streets are paved with gold, And all the folks are witty. np: Nolwenn Leroy ~ Histoires Naturelles > > Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2006 16:45:08 -0700 > From: Neile Graham > Subject: Another" what might this song be" query > > I have a message from an Ectophiles' Guide reader who is trying to > locate a song he heard in 1978.
