I first visited Great Britain when was a teenager in 1971, during the height of The Troubles with Northern Ireland and the IRA. With my quintessentially Irish surname, I expected to be badly treated. That never happened. The British people I met couldn't have been nicer, and that has been my experience ever since. In fact, I can't remember any British person I've ever met even bringing up the fact that I am Irish American. (Maybe they were all calling me a Harp Yank bastard behind my back, but I doubt it.) Colin also said: << However, don't believe everything you read in the papers! Princess Margeret did not insist on being called ma'am by her friends. Nor was she shallow. She did much for charity, especially she did much for the abused children of this country. >> You've got a point there, Colin, because that's a lesson I never seem to learn. For example, I joined the Joni list when she was on her BSN tour a couple of years ago. One of my first posts to the list was a blurb I found in the New York Post's Page Six (their gossip page) which had Judy Collins dissing Joni. It caused a little bit of an uproar on the list, someone contacted Judy to find out if it was true and she sent this person (I don't remember who it was) a denial which he or she then posted to the list. I thought at the time that I would never again believe anything I read or heard in the media, but I guess I have go back to my old ways! We do agree on the subject of royalty though, Colin. Just the thought of it makes my American skin crawl and my Irish blood boil! One of my favorite media moments with Queen Elizabeth was when she visited Washington about a decade ago and an American woman was so thrilled to meet her, she gave the Queen a great big hug! (And no, it wasn't Ashara!) The American media reported that the incident had become a big issue back in England because *no one* touches the Queen. I remember thinking, "Well, maybe that's true in your castle, honey, but anything goes here in the good old U S of A!" --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 22:39:16 -0500 From: "James L. Leonard" Subject: Re: NJC Bob & Bob in Greenville, SC Hey, Bob, SO glad you went to the Dylan show! Your review was, as usual, perfect. Dylan is doing - and has been doing for a couple of years now - wonderful shows night after night, while varying the set list considerably. The band has been with him for such a long time now (aside from his in-the-pocket new drummer) that he can call just about any tune in his repertoire, original or obscure cover. We got a nice little bonus at the Tampa show on 2/2/02. Dickey Betts walked out with Les Paul in tow to jam with Sexton and Campbell (and, of course, Bob the "lead guitarist"), on "Rainy Day Women." They turned the house lights up, it became that much more of a party and "love-in," and a truly great time was had by all. This was a couple of songs prior to the end of the set proper, after which there was the now standard-length six-song encore (which also varies from night to night, selections-wise). What a great show! All of the others in 2001 and 2002 have been, too. Anyway, greetings from "the sunshine state." (Hi, Jimmy.) Long time, no talk. (Boston) Jim NP: "Proof," Pat Metheny Group, Speaking Of Now (just released, and "super fine!") ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 22:24:58 -0600 From: evian Subject: rev vince, Britney, Kylie and Alanis njc The other day, our own Rev Vince admitted that he liked Britney's "Oops....", and so I just had to chime in that my guilty pleasure lately has been Kylie Minogue's "I Can't Get You Out of My Head." I am so addicted to that song -- I sing that damn "la la la, la la la la" all damn day, and before that song, I absolutely could not stand her. I am also in love with the new Alanis single "Hands Clean," but then again, I'm an Alanis fan -- I still say that if she wasn't signed to Maverick but was pressing those cds out of her basement and had hairy armpits and a couple of tatoos, she'd be the belle of the critics' ball, but whatever -- Alanis rocks in my eyes -- critics can kiss my flat arse!

It's about feclking time you checked in. For someone who is so ready to embrace NEW technology (like the VG-8) I thought you would have had a puter long b4 now. Welcome to the list in any event. By the way, can't wait for the new record and like most of the people on the list we would love to see at least ONE MORE PIANO ALBUM!!!! With all due respect and you look and sound wonderful standing up there in front of that great big ol band....
