Here in Finnland it's certainly Raining, though Raining is a summer song, and the summer is "bygones" now. And it's stormy and cold here. So, maybe this is a little bit better: "We jumped into a river on the moon But the water was too cold We tried to buy the morning star But it was already sold..." ... must go back down to work again ;-> Hannele ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 11:46:26 +0200 From: "Hannele Hakala" Subject: Re: Strangers at this masquerade Tom wrote: > How do you pronounce your name? It is very pretty. > Is it "Hana-lee" or "HaneL" or something else? Well, it's a little bit difficult to explain... I pronounce it like I write it. Finnish is spoken and written the same way... usually. So in Hannele all the letters are pronounced. H sounds normal A sounds something like A in CARLY N sounds normal N is pronounced too E sounds like the first E in EVER L sounds normal E sounds like the first E in EVER And the accent is on the first syllable (HAN).

NAME: Robert Holliston AGE: just turned 43 STATUS: Gay and happily single FAVORITES: Besides Carly: Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Joan Armatrading, Van Morrison, Laura Nyro, many classical composers Like Mary Grace, I'm a friend of the Catman. So I joined this list to learn more about Carly Simon. I've always loved her voice: until I joined the Carly list I had no idea what a wonderful songwriter she is. She's awesome! I knew she composed beautiful melodies, but until I read the lyrics that many of you have posted, I really didn't know what a powerful songwriter she is. Thank you, Colin, for setting this up! I'll go back to lurk mode now, and continue to buy and listen to these great Carly Simon CDs. Music is such a continuous journey - thank you all for your help in introducing me to this wonderful artist!! love and big hugs, Roberto ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 09:09:56 -0200 From: "Renata Cristina Bastos de Paiva" Subject: Who are you? Ok, let me tell you something about me. But please don't get me wrong!! Name: RENATA CRISTINA Age: 26 (THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT CARLY I WAS 15) Nationality: BRAZIL ( I LIVE IN BRASILIA) Profession: I WORK ON EDUCATION FIELD I AM SINGLE Personality: I AM VERY CALM, PATIENT, AND I HAVE GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR Hobbies: I LOVE TO LISTEN TO CARLY SIMON'S SONG AND SING ALONG. I LIKE TO PLAY THE GUITAR (MOST OF THEM I PLAY IS CS SONGS). MY FAVOURITE SONG THAT I LIKE TO PLAY ON THE GUITAR IS: TOUCHED BY THE SUN. IT'S SO EXCITING!!! :-) Beijos, Renata Cristina ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 09:28:54 -0200 From: "Renata Cristina Bastos de Paiva" Subject: Carlotta Hi Everybody, What is your favourite songs from the Original Soundtrck Album Working Girl? Well, I love Let the river run, In love (instrumental), Carlotta's Heart, and Looking through Katherine's House ( I love to do the uh uh uh uh uh along with her) By the way, have you ever heard about the real name of Carly Simon??? I got it on internet. It's Carlotta. Beijos, Renata Cristina ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 12:13:52 +0000 From: catman Subject: Re: Who Are You? Hi Roberto-great to hear from you. I think many would be surprised at what Carly actually does write and sing. I don't think her 'hits'(at least not in the UK which were Coming Around Again, Nobdoy Does It Better, Why and You're So Vain) are truly representative of her works. Also, I think the fact that she came from a rich background made people dismiss her as having no soul. As if rich people do not know about suffering! catman Robert Holliston wrote: > I decided to come out of lurking mode and respond to this thread. > > NAME: Robert Holliston > AGE: just turned 43 > STATUS: Gay and happily single > FAVORITES: Besides Carly: Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Joan Armatrading, Van > Morrison, Laura Nyro, many classical composers > > Like Mary Grace, I'm a friend of the Catman.

Hello Maria: My name is Margarita from Mexico and here you will see there are people from many countries. It is a beautiful place! Regarding Cat Stevens, Carly wrote in her own musical compilation "Clouds In My Coffee" that she wrote the song "Anticipation" while she was waiting for Cat to take her out on a date... Isn't she wonderful? Anticipation is a song from 1971... I used to sing it when I was a teenager (~13 years) in front of my friends, mates from school and/or family parties. I listen very often to a double CD with Cat Stevens' main hits. My favourite song, which always makes me cry, is "From Father To Son", though i also like "Peace Train" and "Moon Shadow" a lot. It is very exciting knowing people from Italy. Last year I went to Europe for the first time in my life but couldn't make it to Italy since I had to come back to work, you know, vacations over. I love italian great songs and opera, and also the weird artistic films from Federico Fellini, Luciano Visconti, Ettore Scola? and the like. Benvenutta signorina? is that right for a welcome?
