Testify! I'd love to hear The Ghosts of St. George's Drive live - it's probably in my top five of EFO songs I've ever heard. - --Wade ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 10:15:38 -0500 From: "Christopher Evans" Subject: RE: A good discovery...

What they could do at the big folk festivals is have a super-sale if you buy the entire catalog in one shot. If I'm correct, Juggler is selling for $10, Portable sells for $20, the other 6 sell for $15. That totals $120. Perhaps make the entire bundle $100? And the catalog set comes with something special, like having every album signed and/or a free t-shirt. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Evans" To: Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 10:15 AM Subject: RE: A good discovery... > I've always thought EFO should release a box set of all their albums > entitled "EFO's Greatest Hits." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 12:27:09 -0500 From: "Eddie Bell" Subject: Re: A good discovery... maybe called "rim on rye and a bottle of rhine" - ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Ryan" To: Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 10:31 AM Subject: Re: A good discovery... > What they could do at the big folk festivals is have a super-sale if you buy > the entire catalog in one shot.

For quite a while I had thought I didn't like Looking out the Fishbowl. I've decided that I was wrong, but it's still not my favoite album....though some of my favorite songs are on it. Don't know why. When I suggesting to my sister which album to get next (she already has Quick) I suggested Portable EFO Show (which was my first) or Big Noise. FYI, she went with Big Noise. :) Joy Elyse - --- Bertram Tunnell wrote: > So, like many of my fellow Edheads...I have become > spoiled on having access > to many live recordings of EFO and eschewed the > studio recorded stuff. > > For no reason at all I picked up, "A Juggler on his > Blades" this morning to > listen to at work.

Something about "Our Fair City" has been puzzling me for years now. What's the city? If it's Washington DC, as seems obvious, then what's the deal with the bridge? "Napoleon launched a real-estate scam/ Put one over on TJ when he sold him the land" Pretty clearly refers to the Louisiana Purchase, ja? But neither Maryland nor Virginia (nor DC, comprised of land ceded from both) was part of that, being already part of the nascent US. - --nicole twn *** "Rides first, THEN food."--helpful advice from the California State Fair commission Visit www.nicolopolis.com ... digital nonsense for a weary world. ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V5 #241 *****************************
