Nothing wrong with her status I would recon. Just wish she would show herself up here in the cold north so I could go see her in concert also. - -- Yngve - -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2009 12:32:32 +0000 From: Greg Blair Subject: RE: Review of a concert I did not attend THIS is probably the best post I have ever read on ecto!

Takes Off and Surrealistic Pillow are fine albums, but After Bathing at Baxter's is one of *the* great albums from the sixties. Crown of Creation and Volunteers round out quite a run, five albums released in three years, plus the live Bless Its Pointed Little Head. (And all these albums now list for $7.99). If you were going to design an ideal rock bank, the classic Airplane lineup would be it - three singers, killer lead and rhythm guitar players, monster bass player, and a fine drummer. - - Steve __________ I can't resist an anime that includes a small, cute, violence prone girl with a scythe. - John ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V14 #272 ***************************
