(that's another thing that worked quite well for bob dylan, by the way). just my 2 cents. carsten - -- http://carstenwohlfeld.de "your girlfriend can leave you, but the rolling stones are there forever" (alan mcgee) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 08:21:14 -0500 (EST) From: rabbit Subject: [MLL] Re: jinglejangle-digest V4 #45 kevin-- can you please post the address again where we can send away for the cd? thanks-- amy s. - ------------------------------------------------------- the moon is reflected clearly when the water is clear ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 11:19:30 -0800 From: "Ryan Rinker" Subject: [MLL] club I think it would be great if this tape club thing went even further and turned in to some sort of "Mary lou Lord Fan Club." I'd be willing to pay and i'm sure many other people would also. Myself being a huge fan of mll wouldn't care what i got whether it be bootleg tapes, posters, t-shirts, (a lock of hair) just joking. Let's get the ball rolling on whatever this is going to be. It also wouldn't necessarely have to be Mary lou who acually ran this either.

Everytime she's been in town, I've asked for permission to record the show and she's given it.
