But this is one CD that simply can't be separated from its context, and I'm not even going to try.

It all depends on how much tuning you do. The G is always the lightest guage string ina set if it is a wound string (only way to go). If you were in a modal D tuning D A D D A D it might break coming back up 5 half steps to G. That's usually whenit happend to me.

But there was no turning back, i was a diciple, i was a junkie, and i figured if good music was gonna be my addiction of choice, well good for me (i've never smoked, drank, or used drugs illicitly) i found my "evolutinary" experiences thru my mind, body, emotions and spirit...every book recording, seminar, class and challenge i could find, I've heard it said more than once, that prayer is the the way you live your life, i believe that. one can read every book, watch the universe move, study , study, study, but until it is lived is it ever really known? the only thing even close is is listening to the combination of words, notes, sounds, and emotion and, in my humble opinion, Joni does that BEST. now at 36 years old, where i am in my life, if i could go back, i wouldn't change a thing and i will continue to allow myself and others to change and grow. maybe our souls are fully developed and we just haven't REALized it yet. hmmmmmmmmmm Peace Noel NP: the ellen degeneres show...she kills me!!! which has nothing to do with my sexuallity.

I had just changed all my strings before when the G broke. I changed it (this time to a heavier gauge) and it broke again a week later! Ashara, to answer your question about whether to change the whole set, if I'm going to break one string every week, I definitely won't change the whole set - I'd go broke! That last time I bought strings, I got a whole set and some extras of the top three.

(NJC) who ever said that you get your letters edited is so sil....... only joking..:-) A story...... 2 years ago we moved from one Tasmania town to another Tasmanian town....due to work commitments and the wife says... "well we move in two weeks? Lets have a moving sale?"...yeah right! So we go thru all our stuff, to see what we can get rid of... I just move 'MY' stuff to the shed....record and books...all neat and tidy and then help set up all the stuff we are to sell...it seems my wife is the Great Horder of rubbish (while me....I am the Great Collector of Quality...well a lot of clothes will come back in style...see flairs have!) and then we put out everything on the front lawn So with Sale day ... a huge crowd of bargain seekers call (bargains.....mmmm?) and I busy selling off the children's and wife's stuff....I found all this therapeutic...all that baby stuff...I had tripped, fallen and slid over....gone! we actually do well and I had sold even some of our furniture (that the in laws had 'lent' us !).....they never noticed! So that night as I am locking up...I go to the shed and..........!!! see that some of those big plastic cubes/tubs/boxes....I had my records in, had gone.....3 pink plastic boxes...Missing!!.....the other boxes are blue and yellow.....pink was all they had left in the store..so please do not read anything into that! I ask my dearest and darling wife..... "er where are 3 boxes of my Lps from the shed....sweetie?" as we never call each other pet names...this was some warning to her...she just ignored it....my wife is bigger than me..not exactly in height...but in facial features!! "oh those?.... boxes near the shed door?....I sold them to a man 1st up, in the moving sale...he was so happy to get them! and seem to run down the road into the car with them! I bet he did..I bet he did!! "Er did you say how much you got for them?."..I enquired..sort of heart attacking.... "$10! "was her reply...I could faintly hear it...I felt like Ridge out of Bold and the Beautiful.....that controlled look...he said he got that..pretending to be constipated! that is 10 dollars Australian! for the whole lot! I went and locked myself in the loo/John/Lavatory...oh why had I not locked the shed?????? so out of my record collection K to T is missing....Kiss, Moody Blues, Toto etc. boo hoo! 2 years later as I say to my nearly ex wife.....every time I see those pink plastic boxes in the stores..."if only" and she says... "Oh get over it...they were just old records anyway and I always kicked them when vacuuming!!!" I'm sure you lot would understand? I suppose that is why I keep my stuff in my study and not in the family room! my babies...my precious!!!

Text is below. Debra Shea, who's hoping Vince doesn't know a tune about earworms - ----------------------- When the Brain Grabs a Tune and Won't Let Go August 12, 2003 By JESSICA KOVLER There's nothing nicer than a tune playing in your head - until you can't turn it off. The phenomenon has spanned the ages. In 1882, Mark Twain wrote in a short story of an annoying "jingling rhyme" that became indelibly lodged in the author's mind until he passed the curse along to another hapless victim. This summer, a community board in Brooklyn has called for a limit on the playing of the "Mr. Softee" jingle by ice-cream trucks - a jingle that can be unbearably memorable for those subjected to it for extended periods. Research has helped define, but not explain, the experience. A recent study by the University of Cincinnati looked at the affliction, which the author, James Kellaris, calls earworms from the German word ohrwurm. The ear part is obvious, but the worm part is not incidental. Dr. Kellaris, a consumer psychologist, says it conveys the parasitic nature of the unending tunes, which lodge too deep in the mental continuum to be easily ousted. He found that some 98 percent of listeners will at one time or another be bothered by a tune that will not leave their heads. The study also found some common offenders, including the Kit-Kat jingle ("Gimme a break"), "Who Let the Dogs Out," Queen's "We Will Rock You," the theme to "Mission: Impossible," "Y.M.C.A.," "Whoomp, There It Is," "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "It's A Small World After All." The study also showed that musicians and those with compulsive tendencies are the most afflicted. The 559 students used in the study had lots of trouble with the Chili's jingle for its baby-back ribs and with the Baha Men song "Who Let the Dogs Out." But Dr. Kellaris found that most often, each person tends to be haunted by their demon notes. There can be a positive side for some. The singer-songwriter Neil Diamond says those repetitive notes that will not go away have spawned some of his biggest hits. "If I wasn't in the business of songwriting, I'd probably be seeing a doctor," Mr. Diamond said. "I've tried everything from cold showers to listening to other people's music, but nothing helps." Most of his songs spring from a melodic swatch of six notes repeating in his mind. "I'll be driving or watching TV or having lunch, and it just invades," he said. "It's a horrible obsession, but it seems to have paid off." Graham Nash said the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song "Black Notes" had a similar origin. "I was at a concert with Crosby at Carnegie Hall in 1970," Mr. Nash said. "He ran offstage to get Young and just left me hanging there. Well, I had nothing to do, so I started playing a few notes that had been stuck in my head for a few days. The notes soon became a verse and then an entire song, right there." The greater susceptibility of musicians may simply reflect how much more music they listen to. But other research has shown that musical training leads to changes in brain function and structure in regions like the rostromedial prefrontal cortex, an area located behind the forehead that is involved in the perception of melody. Some kind of self-perpetuating stimulus of these circuits may explain why familiar tunes like "Y.M.C.A." can literally become branded in the brain. Neural circuits for music perception also appear in the temporal lobes, which is involved in more basic sound processing. Petr Janata, a research assistant professor at Dartmouth who studies music and the brain, said the effect can be heightened when sound is linked to motion. "The brain and the body get involved. When we put specific dance to the music - like with the `Macarena' or `The Hustle' - the whole body remembers the tune." Repetition often helps to create a sticky song, as do those whose melodies repeat or contain an element of surprise. "Our jingle often ran on all three networks tons of times a day," said John Clarke, chief advertising officer of Dr. Pepper/7Up. "And those phrases were catchy. `I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?' " That jingle also ran longer than a jingle of 2003 would, 60 seconds compared with this year's 15. It was a simple tune, the perfect ingredients for an earworm, Dr. Kellaris said. Singing the song aloud can sometimes erase it. "It's a familiar pattern of itching and scratching," Dr. Kellaris says. "The only way to `scratch' a cognitive itch is to rehearse the start involuntarily, as the brain detects an incongruity or something `exceptional' in the musical stimulus." Other advice? "Don't worry - be happy," Dr. Kellaris says. "It's a small world after all and one day we will lift up our chin, and grin, and say, whoomp - there it is." - ----------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 12:43:49 -0400 From: dsk Subject: Why do (most) humans love music so much? NJC From the science section of yesterday's NYTimes: We Got Rhythm; the Mystery Is How and Why September 16, 2003 By NICHOLAS WADE But other evolutionary psychologists believe the faculty of enjoying music is no accident. Darwin suggested that human ancestors, before acquiring the power of speech, "endeavored to charm each other with musical notes and rhythm." It is because of music's origin in courtship, Darwin believed, that it is "firmly associated with some of the strongest passions an animal is capable of feeling." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/16/science/16MUSI.html Debra Shea NPIMH: ... hanging on your boom-boom pachyderm... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 17:48:40 +0100 From: Chris Marshall Subject: Re: sp*m question NJC On Wednesday, September 17, 2003, at 09:24 AM, Wally Kairuz wrote: > is there any way that sp*mmers may know the names of frequent senders > to my > address? i've received several ads from porn sites from ...

First of all I am a huge fan of Gladys Knight and some may remember I saw her at the same place a few months ago. Like her so much I didn't want to admit that her concert was a little disappointing. Thought it might have been me. After last nights show I realize it wasn't me. Those guys work hard to please the audience. I became a fan initially years ago when I was in college and during the 'she's gone' days. I was sure they would use that tune for an encore number but surprisingly they did it in the middle of the show. I wasn't over the top on these guys until their late eighties and then nineties albums came out. These albums were introspective and more along the ballad type. They did not one song from those albums but they were so great I didn't care. The eighties hits were all included and I enjoyed them thoroughly although I never bought even one of those albums. John Oates is so damn cute althought sex appeal has never been a reason for my adoration of those two. Was surprised to see many, many young females at the show, intermixed with the middle aged majority of us there. His, Oates, guitar playing was magnificent and his vocals were right on as well. The star of the show, of course, was Hall. He looked surprisingly youthful which I wasn't expecting after seeing his latest photos and he has lost nothing in the vocal area either. What a showman, such a talent. I am not a musician and can't really discern the intricacies of music nor describe them but I enjoyed their work in that area as well, especially the frequent saxophone included as that is my favorite. Couldn't understand his name when he was introduced but he played that darn horn, had us all out of our seats. The show lasted about an hour and a half and was so good that not once did I wish for a cigarette which is a big deal for this smoker, nor did I even stay upset that I had been such a big loser in the casino before the show. Whatever the cost, it was worth it. Granted, haven't been to that many concerts in my life but this one rivaled Springsteen that I saw in Dallas back in the eighties. When someone can take tunes I don't like and make me want to hear more then I know something is going on. They did two encores and we truly didn't want them to leave, as if they were friends and we were more than just fans, which is not The feeling the Knight concert left in my craw. Bigger fan now than before I went and these guys haven't been inducted into the hall of fame yet, which is something we over at their website are working on. mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 12:13:31 -0500 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: Re: sp*m question NJC wally asked: > is there any way that sp*mmers may know the names of frequent senders to my > address?
