I wouldn't normally pass this on to the list but I just received this virus for the second time and I wanted to warn all of you about it. After you've open this virus it replicates itself by automatically sending an e-mail following each of the emails you send to the same people, with the same subject. These files include a copy of the HAPPY99.exe file which shows some pretty fireworks when you open it. If you were mailed an e-mail that had a attachment "HAPPY99.EXE" DO NOT RUN IT. Delete it and remove it from your Trash File. If you did run it, please see below or go to : http://members.tripod.com/docsmiley/happy99.htm How to get rid of the Happy99 virus (last updated on February 19, 1999 - 11:50 AM Eastern) If you have already run Happy99.exe, to get rid of it, print out this page and follow the instructions. I have tried to make it as simple as possible so that even if you are computer illiterate, you can safely clean your system of the virus. However, please follow these steps carefully and in order. WARNING - Failure to follow instructions exactly may cause problems in accessing the internet from your computer! If you want a more detailed explanation of the virus, check out Happy99 . For a VERY detailed explanation, including directions in both English and Japanese to disinfect your system, go toTechnical Explanation. 1) Open your Windows\System folder and find the following files: ska (or ska.exe in MS-DOS) ska.dll 2) Delete these files. If you cannot find them, be sure that you go to "View" on the menu across the top of the screen. Select "options". Then click on "View all files". That should allow you to see the files. 3) Delete all messages in your email program with the Happy99.exe attachment. Be sure to check your trash folder and empty the trash also. There is another file - "liste.ska" that can be found in the systems folder. You can open it with Notepad and read a list of email addresses. You may have sent the virus to people at those addresses. When you are done cleaning the virus from your system, you may want to notify those people. You can delete the file after printing the list or copying it and pasting into a Notepad file. 4) You will also need to replace the file "Wsock32.dll". To do this, restart your computer in MS-DOS mode. 5) Once it has restarted, you should see "C:\WINDOWS>" on the screen. 6) Type in "cd system" and press "enter" or "return". You should see C:\SYSTEM>" on the screen. 7) Type in "copy wsock32.ska wsock32.dll" and press "enter" or "return". 8) When asked if you want to overwrite wsock32.dll, type "y" for yes. 9) Type in "exit" and press "enter" or "return". That should take care of the Happy99 virus. HOWEVER - unless you are running Antivirus software with an updated data file, you could easily catch this virus again or another one. If you already have the software, you should update your data files at least monthly. If you do not have antivirus software, I suggest that you go to www.mcafee.com and download the FREE evaluation version of the ir software. Be sure to also download all updated data files, including the one for the Happy99 virus.Just follow the instructions to install and update the program. You can contact their customer service if you have problems with this. McAfee's program is considered to be one of the best. And the updates are free! - -- Phyliss pward@lightspeed.net http://www.bodywise.com/consultants/bpward ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 21:10:29 EST From: IVPAUL42@aol.com Subject: Re: Santa Claus (NJC) In a message dated 2/22/99 4:55:57 PM Eastern Standard Time, notaro@bayflash.stpt.usf.edu writes: << Bruce Springsteen's version of > "Santa Claus is coming to town"; and so on. >> David, MG has been looking to get a tape of this song for some time now.

Good golly, what a wonderful memory -- my dad had a reel-to-reel of Sergio Mendez & Brazil '66, the first album and incarnation of the band, and I absolutely LOVED that music! Does anyone have an album/cassette/(gasp)CD of this? Most of the songs had titles in Portugese (which I can't remember), but one of the songs was the Beatles' "Daytripper," or was it "Fool on a Hill"? It's been so long.

Happy99.exe) This page last updated 2/1/99 W32/Ska is a worm that was first posted to several newsgroups and has been reported to several of the AVERT Labs locations worldwide. When this worm is run it displays a message "Happy New Year 1999!!" and displays "fireworks" graphics. The posting on the newsgroups has lead to its propagation. It can also spread on its own, as it can attached itself to a mail message and be sent unknowingly by a user. Because of this attribute it is also considered to be a worm. AVERT cautions all users who may receive the attachment via email to simply delete the mail and the attachment. The worm infects a system via email delivery and arrives as an attachment called Happy99.EXE. It is sent unknowingly by a user. When the program is run it deploys its payload displaying fireworks on the users monitor. Note: At this time no destructive payload has been discovered. When the Happy.EXE is run it copies itself to Windows\System folder under the name SKA.EXE. It then extracts, from within itself, a DLL called SKA.DLL into the Windows\System folder if one does not already exist. Note: Though the SKA.EXE file file is a copy of the original it does not run as the Happy.EXE files does, so it does not copy itself again, nor does it display the fireworks on the users monitor. The worm then checks for the existence of WSOCK32.SKA in the Windows\System folder, if it does not exist and a the file WSOCK32.DLL does exist, it copies the WSOCK32.DLL to WSOCK32.SKA. The worm then creates the registry entry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Ska.exe ="Ska.exe" - which will execute SKA.EXE the next time the system is restarted. When this happens the worm patches WSOCK32.DLL and adds hooks to the exported functions EnumProtocolsW and WSAAsyncGetProtocolByName. The patched code calls two exported functions in SKA.DLL called mail and news, these functions allow the worm to attach itself to SMTP e-mail and also to any postings to newsgroups the user makes. Cleaning To eliminate the worm from your system, a 'stand alone utility' is available (RMSKA).

I've looked everywhere for the very first album, but I think the one with Daytripper/Fool on the Hill is a later album. I may have a tape of that somewhere and will let you know. I have the Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 "Look Around" album that is also stellar. It was the album that got me nuts over Brazilian music as a teenager. It also has several songs in Portugese along with the Beatles "With A Little Help From My Friends". It took a musician boyfriend in high school to introduce me to it (playing in his car 8-track, of course). One of the top 5 concerts I ever attended was in 1987 at the Greek Theater with Herb Alpert & TJ Brass with Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 and also Lani Hall, one of Sergio's original girl singers and also Alpert's wife. She has a gorgeous voice and, in my opinion, was a huge part of the beauty in the albums. She also has made some solo albums if you like that sound.

The mods inspired the song My Generation. I dont know how many have seen the film but it is IMHO an interesting movie because of the story being about the very beginnings of the British sound. We all know what came from that (Mayall, Beatles, Stones Subject: Re: Loudest Concert, Best Concerts SJC Plastic Ono Band, Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope Concert 1996. I was forth row center at the Meadowlands when Yoko hit the stage halfway through the 12 hour show following Joan Baez and Peter, Paul & Mary. It was so loud that I had to stuff kleenex in my ears. When Yoko finished playing four shrieking songs I swear she looked right at me and said: "You can take the cotton out of your ears now." Later that night Joni was the surprise guest (replacing Peter Townsend right before U2) and some drunk fucks hit her with water-balloons while playing The Three Great Stimulants. It was just Joni, Larry & Vinnie doing a striped-down version and MAN you should have heard how powerfully she delivered the rest of that song! I was so transfixed that I forget what other songs she played. Can anyone help refresh my memory? It's all a big blur until Bono came out and hit us with a firehose. Between that and the mad dash of U2 fans I was pushed back ten rows. This was by far my favorite concert. A close second was Pink Floyd in 1974 (half the show was classics like Be Careful With That Ax Eugene and half was Dark Side of The Moon in it's entirety). They opened the roof for Act Two and shot off fireworks during Breath In The Air. It was indeed breathtaking..... The Moody Blues also blew me away in 1974 to the point that I purchased all their albums the next day. And my first concert was not too shabby either: Carol King & James Taylor in 1970! All I remember now is them singing You've Got a Friend together. Also I was at the concert when the Buckingham Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac (Pittsburgh 1974). The Buckingham Nicks opened, and when half of Fleetwood's band didn't show, they apologized and jammed together for two hours. I will never forget that concert although I will always miss the haunting sound they had on Bare Trees. Discuss: Danny's Chant.... E.T.

Although the obligitory well-known love songs are included ("For Once in My Life," "My Cherie Amour," "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday"), there are a couple of surprises included: the wonderful "Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer" and the original version of "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)," which was hit-covered by Aretha Franklin in 1974. -- John Lowe, ALL-MUSIC GUIDE this CD may be out-of-print, but check around. out-of-print doesn't mean can't-be-found. you'll also find the song 'Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer' on the CD "Greatest Hits: Volume 2" Album Notes: Producers include: Stevie Wonder, H. Cosby, D. Hunter, H. Fuqua, J. Bristol. All tracks have been digitally remastered from the original master tapes using 20-bit technology. In 1961, discovered by Ronnie White of the Miracles, he was signed by Berry Gordy of Motown Records. His voice broke in 1964 but he re-emerged in 1965 with a worldwide hit, 'Uptight (Everything's Alright)'. His contract expired in 1971 and Wonder financed two experimental albums, playing almost all instruments. He pioneered the synthesizer's use in black music, and addressed racial and spiritual questions. Where I'm Coming From and Music Of My Mind put him at the forefront of black music. Talking Book (1972) provided hits with 'Superstition' and 'You Are The Sunshine Of My Life'. Innervisions (1973) consolidated his success while Talking Book gave the hits, 'Living For The City' and 'Higher Ground'. Songs In The Key Of Life (1976), perhaps his most ambitious album, displayed musical virtuosity. The highly successful Hotter Than July (1980) included a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, 'Happy Birthday', and a study in reggae, 'Masterblaster (Jamming)'. After Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium I (1982), Wonder composed The Woman In Red (1984). It included his biggest-selling single, 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'. In Square Circle (1985) and Characters (1987) returned to accessible melody. Wonder's image as a statesman of black music, and champion of black rights, was boosted by his successful campaign in the 80s to mark the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King with a national holiday. Album Review: Rolling Stone (1/6/72, p.70) - "... A lot of albums of this sort become dull because of repitition of certain hit formulas. But Stevie's versatility pulls him through. As a result, this GREATEST HITS album is one of the most relaxing, sophisticated--and euphoric--albums ever released..." do yourself a favor, try and locate a copy of "LOVE SONGS ~ 20 CLASSIC HITS". it's the better collection and contains 10-of-the-12 songs found on "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" hope this helps. for now ~ take care, - ------- simon - ------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 01:44:26 -0500 From: "Eric Taylor" Subject: Re: NJC Info Thanks Diana wrote: <> Well I can't speak for Les but I don't see him as the JMDL police.
