Defense is played with your feet and some coaches coach it better than others. That's why they go to the free throw line more than other teams. Year in and year out some teams, Duke men's team for example, shoots more free throws than any other team. It's not the coaching? Is it always the officials cheating? Surely all the officials are not cheating and there is a little coaching going on.

'pull up to the bumper' was a brilliant dancefloor song, and 'nightclubbing' a brilliant album. 'my jamaican guy', 'nipple to the bottle', the icy cold 'warm leatherette'. these were great songs in great performances. her version of 'demolition man' came out before the police's (and was better than theirs). and finally, she recorded 'slave to the rhythm', one of my all-time favorite tracks. put some grace in your face, baby. 7. pauline henry (of the chimes) - i think the best voice of the neo-soul movement of the early '90s. i first heard 'heaven', '123' and the chimes' fantastic remake of 'still haven't found what i'm looking for' on the dance floor, but the chimes' one album has never been out of play in my life. i've heard a lot of 'almost the whole package' voices. she's got the whole package. 8. crystal waters - niece of ethel, she had an odd, huge first dance hit with 'gypsy woman (she's homeless)' riffing on the off-tune humming of a street person getting ready for work. 'making happy' was the second hit. then, off her next album, '100% pure love' which completely rocked my world. some great other songs on that album. she covered 'twisted' at some point; i haven't heard it. 9. cheryl lynn - i mentioned her in my divas post. great instrument. honorable mention: ultra nati, robert owens (right to my gizzard), n'dea davenport, lady miss kier, and you know there are more jfp while writing this post - stingily, sylvester, caron wheeler - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 22:56:04 EST From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: Re: dave lenihan & condi rice, njc This is real: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/29/sports/29duke.html?hp&ex=1143608400& en=bd795bd918a52700&ei=5094&partner=homepage - - -Julius In a message dated 3/26/06 12:01:48 PM, JRMCo1 writes: > Not much to discuss.

Bob NP: Shannon McNally, "Jukebox Sparrows" Yes I watched the game last night. Very good. Interesting to see the two coaches too (Sylvia Hatchell for UNC and Summitt for UTenn) who I discovered were friends for 30 years. Yes for Ivory Latta and Camille Little! Final Four!! All our energies are directed to the women's basketball team now. Funny how they are now accorded a special kind of status now that the men's team are out of competition. Not too many watches women's basketball with a passion reserved for men's basketball. It is poetic revenge for Sylvia Hatchell's team to prove that they are much better. Will that translate to higher budget for women's basketball in UNC? Hope so. Joseph in Chapel Hill (with sore throat) - --------------------------------- Nouveau : tiliphonez moins cher avec Yahoo!

In 1992 I wrote a course book called "Songwriting Skills" for a community college songwriting class I was teaching and drew the bulk of my examples of great lyric writing from Joni and Andy Partridge (of XTC). A song like "Electricity" is the perfect example of exploring an extended metaphor in a lyric.

You may remember that I posted something to the list a year or so ago about this fellow, Michael Angell, who performed some beautiful Joni covers at an event in Saskatoon, as part of a concert that was broadcst on CBC radio. In particular, I recall that he performed an amazing rendition of Sweet Bird on solo piano, complete with his own (?) transcription. I glanced through my junk mail messages this evening, only to find a message from Angell's PR people, directing me to his new website, where lo and behold, you may hear some longish snippets of some of his Joni covers. I recommend Urge and River in particular. Note the piano transcription on River. I hope we hear more from this fellow.

Honey, that tune doesn't touch any of yours on this cd, not close. mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 19:53:19 -0600 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: Fw: sherrelle smith njc Sherelle, you are now ensconced in my playlist, right between Shelley Fabares (no smart comments, one tune, Johnny Angel. Hey, I like it) and Shirley Jones (again, no smart comments, one tune from 'the music man'). mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 19:44:08 -0600 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: sherrelle smith njc Many may have read my question to Sherrelle asking her why she wasn't on American Idol, as I have been watching it every week this year, in contrast to past years when I watched sporadically at best. I didn't watch last night for the performances were not getting better and, truthfully, I don't think many of them have much talent. 'Not what I call talent.' (Borrowed, of course) Being a true Libra I have to amend that and write that I find a couple have some talent but nothing to get upset or excited about. Sherrelle responded, being the sweetie she is, and wrote me that she was out of the age parameters for that show. She then offered me a cd of her music. I offered to pay her for it but she graciously sent it for free. I was looking forward to it but I do not like to not say what I think. It is very difficult for me. A character flaw? Perhaps. I wondered to myself what would I write to Sherelle if I didn't like it. What would I do if I didn't find her voice very good? The cd came in the mail today. I opened it and popped her into the player. Now, I am just pissed off. Why in the hell doesn't this woman have a contract? Why is someone this talented not on the airwaves for all to hear? This is not an average voice. This is talent, what I call talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unique. I don't think I have heard a voice like it. Tod even liked it and he doesn't like anything I like. He said Sherelle reminded him of Sade or Oleta Adams. I heard some of it that reminded me a bit of Sarah Vaughn or Dinah Washington but for the most part it is truly itself, all Sherelle Smith. Damn girl, you've got it. Yea, you've got it, ALL. Do you have more? I'll pay. I think we should all get behind Sherelle and help her dreams come true. For goodness sakes, when I think of the bozos that are making big money out there singing and don't have an ounce of this voice it bothers me. Sherelle, I don't imagine there is anything a faggot nurse from Fort Worth Tx can do for your career but I'll help if I can honey. Tell me what to do. love, mack ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 19:03:38 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: More Angell Thanks for the fine sleuthing, Michael - I like what he does, I wish I could get the full length versions.

GORGEOUS piano! I went to the Joni site and the only tabliture does not have chord names assigned. Anybody good at interpreting those kind of tabs for us keyboard guys?
