Mike seemed to have an obsession with "bottoms" and Robbie tried to deny his obsession with "Sarahs". They performed 3 of the 4 new songs I had heard at The Birchmere last week. I must make a correction to one of the song titles. In my failing memory I called one song "Let's Go Mesozoic" when the actual title is closer to "Let's Get Mesolithic." Not much of a difference you say? Well, let's look. Mesozoic -- of, relating to, or being an era of geological history comprising the interval between the Permian and the Tertiary or the corresponding system of rocks that was marked by the presence of dinosaurs, marine and flying reptiles, ammonites, ferns, and gymnosperms and the appearance of angiosperms, mammals, and birds Mesolithic -- of, relating to, or being a transitional period of the Stone Age between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic Ah. So NOW the song makes much more sense. Sorry for any confusion. don And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning.

Top Ten 1. Imagine Me 2. This My Town 3. I Don't Think I Know Me 4. Stupid American 5. Sahara 6. Woman of Faith 7. The Three Fine Daughters of Farmer Brown 8. Loitering In The Lobby 9. a new song 10.band's choice of one of their older songs Cover Tune: I truly wish that Eddie From Ohio would cover "Zombie Jamboree". This song is perfect for the band. It has the harmonies, percussion part is perfect for Eddie, the humor (I think this is one Mike would sing lead), and it would show the band's folk roots (it comes from 1955 & was covered some by the folk groups during the late '50s/early '60s Folk Revival). Believe me edheads, this song is tailor made for Eddie From Ohio. Please EFO Cover "Zombie Jamboree"! - ---Berkeley (who'll see them in Atlanta & B'ham in a couple of weeks!) ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

As a kid, I wondered, "An elephant's eye isn't more than one or two inches high, so...I just don't get the point." My mom explained it to me, but I still thought it was a very ambiguous way to make the point. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought this. Ron "Oklahoma, you're ok.

Here's why I think it works: Have you ever tried to stand eye to eye with an elephant? Their eyes are pretty darned far off the ground. And when Curly sings of the virtue of the morning and the "beautiful feeling" he's including the fact that the corn crop is pretty danged good this year cause not only is it as high as an elephant's eye...(roughly about 7-8 feet up depending on the size of the elephant) "it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky!" A moment of hyperbole to be sure...but hey this guy was also getting excited about cows winking at him too. Let him enjoy his beautiful mornin'! ;) Thanks. This has been a nice distraction from the inane level of endless political rhetoric going on elsewhere. Sonya ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V3 #185 *****************************
