Just overheard in my office: "I met you up in Fairfield at an old Yardbird's store" Naturally, what my brain immediately did was sing this line back to me, using the melody from "That Song About The Midway." Yardbird's is a defunct home improvement warehouse that once had several stores in the area. Anyone care to take a stab at completing this parody? : ) Lori, back to work in Santa Rosa, CA ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 19:39:35 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Iraq: running behind the times, njc Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. - --George Washington ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2007 00:12:48 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: Re: Rousseau walks on trumpet paths... now Sweet Bird Out of sync works perfectly for me Catherine! I'm listening to it now. I especially love the way she is percussively playing the guitar throughout the whole song. Now I'm listening to the out of sync piano and guitar and the beautiful oooh's. The piano is also adorning the song with it's own melody. That may be why it sounds out of sync. The piano sounds like rain falling in some places. It also sounds like Pat Matheny is throwing in some of his electric guitar stylings as well but I'm not sure who is playing. Very nice!

Aaaargh!!! How could I forget Don McClean's name????? I truly do feel a similarity lyrically between "The Jungle Line" and "Vincent" (Starry, Starry Night) after hearing everyone's views.

Everybody was listing 5 albums that changed their life one way or another. That being said, what are 5 albums that changed your life? Here are mine: This is tough but..... 1. The Beatles- A Hard Day's Night 2. 4 Way Street- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 3. The Wall- Pink Floyd 4. Court & Spark/Blue- Joni Mitchell (cheated here) 5.

Rush- A Farewell to Kings I was in junior high school. My friend's older brother gave him this album for his birthday and we listened to it at his house one day. I was completely blown away and from then on I was a complete Rush devotee. Even in my freshman year at college I was still singing high like Geddy Lee till I felt more comfortable in my own voice. 2. Joni Mitchell- Song to a Seagull Made me want to write songs even more. I was already into odd chords and timing from listening to Rush but this was the first singer/ songwriter album I really got into. 3. Ella Fitzgerald - Mack the Knife, Live in Berlin It was listening to Ella that drew me into jazz and I was soon listening to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Johnny Hartman, etc.. 4. Nick Drake -Fruit Tree (box set) The first time I listened to Nick Drake I knew I had found a kindred spirit. 5. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman There is no album in existence that sounds as sweet as this one. Though Ella was the first jazz singer I listened to, as soon as I heard Johnny Hartman I was completely mesmerized.

Yes..while that may be true....climate changes due to pollution...but another cause is something that is very abundant and NOT caused by man : Water vapor. Water is constantly being recycled...whether through transpiration...or evaporation. Our plentiful trees...(plant a tree)...absorb water and breathe that back into the as water vapor. Water vapor is a gas...a major greenhouse gas.. We have more trees today ...way more than let's say a hundred years ago . because today there is the capability of putting out forest fires more quickly. ....and efficiently. There are some scientists who think that increased cloud cover...this is with CO2 and aqua gasses in the mix..in the atmosphere... will actually cause temperatures to drop. ?? I think a good healthy dose of skepticism is good ....in any area....just because ALGORE says so...?? So what? I point to Mr. Gore because he has become the guru...the messiah... that it is man who is the cause of global warming. I realize there are plenty of scientists who are in alignment with him also. Or He with them. The same Gore who lambastes Bush 43....with stuff like....he's a traitor to his country....we should have never gone into Iraq..... But yet...Mr.. Gore was caught on video in 1992...this video just resurfaced in the last few days... reporting that Saddam Hussein is promoting terrorism and pursing a nuclear weapons program....AND that the George H. Bush (41) needs to due something about him...IRAQ. Sort of accusing George H. being asleep at the wheel. Hmmmm...Mr.. Hawkish has gotten pretty dovish these days. No..I will defer to others...anybody but Al Gore.
