I have seen it, and it was good, and now I can sleep. Other Jewel and NASA related incidents: The morning after I saw the show here in Orlando, the Space Shuttle landed. The morning I got back from New York (JewelStock) the Space Shuttle landed. (The twin sonic booms are really something.) The Space Shuttle docks with the Mir, and seconds later I see/hear YWMFM for the first time. Coincidence, or is it more than that? You decide.

I saw, one time, on MTV a really great show...it was a SPOKEN-WORD unplugged that featured King Missile and other spokenword acts popular back then in the old days. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? and more importantly, did anybody get this show on TAPE? I would be willing to pay handsomely for just such an item.

This isn't fair. I have to go back even before they made 8-tracks. Astrud Gilberto. She is a Brazilian jazz vocalist. The first rock album was Jefferson Airplane's second album w/I need somebody to love. I'm going to give you two lists. The first one contains the 5 I would grab if someone yelled FIRE, and I only had time to get what I had near me. 1. Jewel - POY 2. Wayne Kramer - The Hard Stuff or Dangerous Madness(tough decision) 3. Alex Chilton - 19 Years: a collection of 4. Johnny Thunders - Have Faith 5. Blind Boys of Alabama - I brought Him with Me(Live from House of Blues) If I had a little time to prepare I would take: 1. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Live/1975-85 (3 CD set) 2. Bob Marley & the Wailers - All I could fit on a 120 min. cassette 3. Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - a long tape with my favorites. 4. Patsy Cline - Greatest Hits 5. John Lennon - Imagine But then I would cheat and sneak all of the following as well: 1. Tom Rapp & Pearls Before Swine 2. Joe Cocker 3. Janis Joplin 4. Hank Williams 5. Tom Waits 6. Jackie Wilson 7. Room Full of Blues 8. Otis Redding 9. Van Morrison 10. Wild Tchoupitoulas We had one of those huge Southern California brush fires across the valley from our home . Kathy came flying down the driveway in a panic. She left work because she could see it from there. She was crying and running around the house grabbing what was important to her. I just sat back and watched because I knew it was far enough away and we were safe. She grabbed all the pictures around the fireplace except mine. She did take our wedding album. I'm just suprised she didn't take my pictures out first and leave them. Oh yea, she grabbed one CD, Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run.

The first ALBUM I ever bought was either Blood, Sweat & Tears 2nd album (The first with David Clayton Thomas instead of Al Kooper) or "Best of Cream". 1968. Probably at Woolworth's, and certainly when the stereo disc was $1 more than the mono version. Probably cost me $2.79. The first CD I ever bought was unquestionably Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in early 1984. On sale at Target when $12.99 was fabulously cheap for a new disc. Some wag keeps asking me how many CDs I now own after that auspicious start. I honestly don't know; I stopped counting when my homemade CD rack filled up, and it holds a shade over 600 discs. I have since filled at least one more rack of comparable size, and have another couple hundred shelved by my computer. I refuse to estimate, because I'm afraid I'll find out that I could have paid off the house mortgage instead. :-) Fave recordings: Jeez, how can I hold it down to five? I have a list compiled a few years ago that lists 40 pop/rock recordings and a dozen more classical among my surefire faves. How about if I list 10 pop recordings and 10 jazz/classical/soundtrack recordings? Will anyone shoot me? Pop/Rock (alphabetical) - ----------------------- Chicago Transit Authority Chicago Tarkus Emerson, Lake & Palmer Three Sides Live Genesis Aqualung Jethro Tull Dark Side Of The Moon Pink Floyd Electronic Realizations For Rock Orchestra Synergy John Barleycorn Must Die Traffic U.K. U.K. Close to the Edge Yes Overnight Sensation Frank Zappa Ack; very 60s/70s. Not that I don't like anything since 1980; far from it. Most of my collection is from 1980-present, but very few albums have had that 10-15 year span of steady listening that determines whether I can still stand a recording after 200 plays. These all pass the test. Other (random order) - -------------------- Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances Johanos/Dallas Symphony Holst: The Planets Karajan/Berlin Symphony Moussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition Ashkenazy/Philharmonia Heavy Organ -- Bach Virgil Fox North By Northwest (soundtrack) Bernard Herrmann A Charlie Brown Christmas Vince Guaraldi Trio Vaughan Williams: Sinfonia Antartica Haitink/London Philharmonic Dvorak: Symphony #9 Solti/Chicago Symphony Earthworks Bill Bruford's Earthworks The Leroy Anderson Collection Anderson/Various What a motley selection, huh? Feel free to criticize me in private. I know: no Jewel, no Beatles, no Tori, no Who, no Clapton, no (pick your favorite artist needlessly slammed in absentia). Sosumi. :-) That being said, I expect one of Jewel's future albums to make it onto this list in a few years.

MJC: Minimal Jewel Content - or - Muffy Jerks Carter Sinjin asked the populace at large: >What was the first album you bought? I don't remember, and it's probably better that way since I think Vanilla Ice may have been involved. >What are your 5 essential CD's? Tori Amos - "Little Earthquakes" Leonard Cohen - "The Future" Peter Gabriel - "Us" Nine Inch Nails - "The Downward Spiral" Smashing Pumpkins - "Siamese Dream" If the question were "If you were stuck on a desert island, what would your five essential CDs be?" I'd replace the NIN entry with Jewel's "Pieces of You," since I don't need Trent Reznor depressing me when I'm already thousands of miles from nowhere with nothing but a cocoanut tree to keep me entertained. Oh, I almost forgot number six ... Los Del Rio - "Macarena" Come on, L.A. Boy! Take your best shot! No one can hit the Artful Dodger! Aiiieeeee, Macarena!
