And of course the Hendrix one mutated into Voodoo Child. > Donovan-Three King Fishers * No, that's about birds called kingfishers (one word)! We only have one kind in England, but there are three if not four kinds in India. Do you New World and Antipodean birders have kingfishers or not? - - Mike Godwin n.p.

I rated most songs either 3's or 4's in my little iTunes program. I think the best song on there is "Cinnamon Girl". I have a Pipettes BBC session from last year that I really like. I keep meaning to find out a bit more about them and their album. =jbj= ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:11:36 -0400 From: wojbearpig Subject: Re: Agriculture and Fisheries one time at band camp, JBJ (jbj@tuthorse.net) said: >On Mon, 10 Jul 2006 hssmrg@bath.ac.uk wrote: >>PS Is this Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet album any good?

I think the best song on there is "Cinnamon Girl". it's a really fun and enjoyable listen, i'd say. nothing revolutionary but all solid performances. my favorite is the first third of "who knows where the time goes?": hoffs' voice is surprisingly perfect for the song and the beginning is transcendent. sweet's backing vocals drags the song down after that, alas. but it's still done well musically. woj ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 17:58:44 +0100 From: hssmrg@bath.ac.uk Subject: Re: Nessie, Dirty Doz, Alec Guiness Quoting fegmaniax-digest : > fegmaniax-digest Sunday, July 9 2006 Volume 15 : Number 158 > > > > Today's Subjects: > ----------------- > Fwd: monkey speaking mind...

But I'll still stick to "Gorgo", a touching story of a monster's mum smashing up London with frustrated love for her offspring. - - Mike Godwin PS Didn't Kate and Anna McGarrigle have a fishing song? PPS I'm going off those Alec Guinness films in a big way - couldn't watch "The Card" all the way through this afternoon, and squirmed with embarrassment through the one where he became the captain of a pier. "The man in the white suit" still stands up, however. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:27:48 -0400 From: "Stewart Russell" Subject: Re: Agriculture and Fisheries On 10/07/06, hssmrg@bath.ac.uk wrote: > > Do you New World and Antipodean birders have kingfishers or not? We have them here, but they're largish grey/black/white birds, not the vivid flash of electric blue and orange that is the British Isles 'fisher.
