I cant even believe it's me singing... Anyway, if any of you have interest in this, please let me know and we'll work something out... Oh yea, did you guys hear me on 1 Tree Hill last night? That was pretty cool... Hope all of you are well..Gearing up for another big Halloween busking marathon here in Salem Ma this weekend...!!!!!! Hope to see some of you there...!!!! I am going to be selling the tape for 15.00 plus 2.00 postage.... all the best... - -Mary Lou ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 12:40:29 EDT From: Bopst@aol.com Subject: [MLL] oh yea... about the "REAL" tape..I said they were un-sealed...I meant they were sealed and un-opened..sorry about that...Hope to hear from some of you guys about this...thanks ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 12:44:44 EDT From: Bopst@aol.com Subject: [MLL] One more thing I am going to be making another cd of acoustic songs...Probably in the studio...I would LOVE to hear your suggestions of songs that you think I should cover for this project..There will be a few new originals plus some selected new covers...I think it would be cool to hear your input... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 15:03:13 EDT From: AWeiss4338@aol.com Subject: Re: [MLL] One more thing In a message dated 10/27/2004 12:47:36 PM Eastern Standard Time, Bopst@aol.com writes: I am going to be making another cd of acoustic songs...Probably in the studio...I would LOVE to hear your suggestions of songs that you think I should cover for this project..There will be a few new originals plus some selected new covers...I think it would be cool to hear your input...

Thanks so much you guys...and if you get the tape and don't like it, don't say I didnt warn you that this was my first EVER recording and it kind of shows!!! But it is a fun thing to have, especially for collecters... - -Mary Lou ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 18:52:40 -0400 From: Recordings@aol.com Subject: [MLL] REAL AT LAST! >...and if you get the tape and don't like it, don't say I didnt warn you that this was my first EVER recording and it kind of shows!!!< It is impossible not to like this tape. REAL is the album that made me fall in love with Mary Lou. It saved my life in those horrible days when I first moved to the San Fernando Valley and started my 90-minute commute to work. I played it over and over in the car, and when we had our baby, I played it for him too. I dubbed it for friends and made color xerox covers. Without Real, I might have missed out on Mary Lou completely - a horrifying thought! What a great find!

I'm sure several people on this list could do that, so at least everyone could get the music of Real, if not the actual artifact. Things have sure changed over the years. I remember when I tried to get a Mary Lou cover CD going, the big result was going to be... a GOLD CD! Wow! An actual Gold CD of our songs! Can you IMAGINE such a thing???

I was watching an episode from season two of The Sopranos. "Junior" Soprano asked his right-hand man to do something. "What - now?" "No, on St. Swithen's Day - Yes, NOW!" That's the first time I've heard that day mentioned aside from Real. Cracked me up real good! Dino ------------------------------ End of jinglejangle-digest V7 #130 **********************************
