Do you swoon that much for tricky time signatures? That's only part of it. I just love the feel of it and the way the vocals wind around each other at the end. And I don't even smoke pot ;-) (I did three times, but I was drunk each time and didn't really notice any effect) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2005 22:16:57 -0700 From: "Marc Holden" Subject: Alex Chilton okay Some news from a Big Star news group: http://www.frontlinearts.com/cgi-bin/bsrboard/bsrboard.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1125927087&start=5 Memphis rocker evacuated from New Orleans home By Jon Sparks September 5, 2005 Memphian Alex Chilton, 54, the famed rock singer and guitarist who lives in New Orleans is alive and well. Ron Easley, a friend and fellow musician who has recorded a number of albums with him, said Chilton called early Monday morning from a hotel in a city Easley would not name. He said Chilton was evacuated by helicopter from his home Sunday and later flown out of the area. Chilton, who hadn't been heard from since shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck, told Easley he stayed in his home the entire time and water had gotten up to his porch. Chilton said he had food and water but was most concerned during the week about roving gangs. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 11:33:07 +0100 From: M R Godwin Subject: Re: Drove my Chevy to the...

There are a large number of "flood" songs in the Delta blues repertoire.

Was > there a big inundation in the late twenties? As Randy Newman points out (in the song already mentioned here, "Louisiana 1927"), yes, in 1927. Googling those key terms will get you the story. - -- ...Jeff The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V14 #215 ********************************
