This would be like Dracula vs. Frankenstein. Kottke himself admits to drooling during performances. He's always reminded me a bit of the banjo-playing (was his name Whatley?) hillbilly kid in "Deliverance," except he's bigger and I'm sure those are his hands on the strings. Robyn seems so much faster on the extemporising. Both Robyn and Leo play versions of "8 Miles High." Coincidence or conspiracy? Jon, who's not going to see the Pope in Rome or Robyn Kottke in NYC this weekend.

Though it's already been decided, Capuchin asked earlier: >Do I buy the nifty old rotary valve trumpet or do I go to NYC >to see Robyn and the film next weekend? I'm pretty sure the guy who played drums in the band I was in had a rotary-valve trumpet. As I recall he didn't think too highly of it - too hard on the fingers, he said. (And yet he took up drums; go figure.) Maybe he didn't oil it properly? He also had a clarinet, and offered to sell it to me for some token sum, and like a fool I didn't go for it. Actually I had no money at the time. Hell, none of us did. That's what being in a band is all about. So if I can be said to have a point here, it's that you should have gone to see Robyn; he needs the money. I should note that I cannot play the clarinet, and can barely get by on trumpet and trombone. Of all the instruments I wish I could play but can't, the clarinet is at the top of the list. I also wish I could ride a horse, though I actually have one of those. Meanwhile, Eb wonders "what's so magical" about Jennifer Love Hewitt's gazongas: 1. They can turn human beings into frogs, quails, geckos, or other small slithery creatures merely by pointing in their general direction. 2. They have been known to cause Dutch Elm Disease, even in elms not originally from the Netherlands. 3. They can make the Statue of Liberty disappear (if you look at them close enough with the statue in the background). 4. When you pull them out of a hat, a rabbit (not a quail) is invariably attached, clawing on for dear life. 5. They can saw a woman in half. They can also saw men into as many as 18 pieces, if using the right power equipment. (I prefer Stihl, myself.) 6. If you strap a magic wand onto them by wrapping many times with duct tape, a humorous effect is achieved. (My apologies to the late Wendy O. Williams.)

All my environmentalist acquaintances >assure me that diesels are cleaner than petrol engines, but - speaking >as >an asthmatic - it's always the stuff coming out of the back of diesels that makes me wheeze and cough. No fossil fuel engines are environmentally friendly . but diesels , if properly maintained, are supposed to be less polluting than petrol . If they are spewing out lots of black smoke , the injecters need cleaning. However, it is possible for them to be even cleaner. A group of greenies have discovered you can use recycled vegetable oil to make diesel fuel and they claim its less polluting, gives longer engine life and the production process is also much less destructive to the environment than the conventional oil refineries. There are already a number of places where the diesel made from vegetable oil is used and its very successful.This is on the web somewhere but I've lost the url. dave np : the recording I made last night of Leo Kottke at the Gov. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1998 09:55:31 -0800 (PST) From: Christopher Donnell Subject: Fwd: Re: NYC next weekend. > > OK... here's the question: > > > > Do I buy the nifty old rotary valve trumpet or do I go to NYC to see > Robyn > > and the film next weekend? > > > > I have to decide by end of day today. > > > > I, too, am having this very dilemma.

I could either sit at home all night or take the 30 minute subway ride to the Mercury Lounge. Not much of a dilemma, but that's what I get for living in NYC, I guess.. For people that aren't familiar to the Mercury Lounge it's a pretty small place (it's on Houston and 1st or somewhere around there - near Katz') but they have a pretty good sounding sound system (I've seen Mono Puff there, pretty goodly show).
