I didn't mention it to you Shell...but I of course requested "Moons of Jupiter" via email...and Mike has renamed me "Reverend Bert, pastor Edhead of NYC" What a remarkable show. What a pleasure to meet the Shellymeister. Happy everything everyone! Reverend Bert who although loves "Moons of Jupiter" may have to start lobbying for "Blue Jeans" (or the truly rare one, that when I requested at a Robbie solo show he looked at me and said, "Woah...you know that one? You have to give me a head's up so I can practice it!" I refer to a personal fave, "Grandma's Teeth" Peace, Harmony, and Quick - - Bert (again) >From: Shellyus@aol.com >To: edheads@efohio.com >Subject: BB King's~the last show of the year >Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:50:29 EST >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from mc10-f20.bay6.hotmail.com ([65.54.166.156]) by >mc10-s16.bay6.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Mon, 16 >Dec 2002 21:51:45 -0800 >Received: from smoe.org ([199.201.145.78]) by mc10-f20.bay6.hotmail.com >with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Mon, 16 Dec 2002 21:51:44 -0800 >Received: from smoe.org (ident-user@localhost [127.0.0.1])by smoe.org >(8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id gBH5ofN7018156for >; Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:50:41 -0500 (EST) >Received: (from majordom@localhost)by smoe.org (8.12.6/8.12.6/Submit) id >gBH5ofk2018155for edheads-outgoing; Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:50:41 -0500 (EST) >Received: from raq06.pennyhost.com (www.selectivehouse.com >[216.250.230.74]) by smoe.org (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id gBH5ocN7018150 >for ; Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:50:38 -0500 (EST) >Received: from imo-d06.mx.aol.com (imo-d06.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.38]) by >bizlwyrs.com (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id gBH61Sm01719 for >; Tue, 17 Dec 2002 01:01:28 -0500 >Received: from Shellyus@aol.com by imo-d06.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v34.13.) >id 8.163.18ae58cf (4584) for ; Tue, 17 Dec 2002 >00:50:29 -0500 (EST) >Message-ID: <163.18ae58cf.2b301525@aol.com> >X-Mailer: AOL 7.0 for Windows US sub 10638 >X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative by demime 0.97c >X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain >Sender: owner-edheads@efohio.com >Precedence: bulk >Return-Path: owner-edheads@efohio.com >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 17 Dec 2002 05:51:45.0280 (UTC) >FILETIME=[61B32800:01C2A590] > >wow. everyone probably thought that either a} i fell offa the planet or >b} >i stopped going to efo shows, eh? well, neither are true; i just have >admittedly sucked at posting reviews lately. i shamefully even attended >the >iron horse shows -and- the lupo's show and sellersville shows and never >posted anything. bad shell!
