Yes, it's a cheesy remake of the Nazareth cover, the vast majority are. Some come from Nazareth tribute albums, just like several BYT covers have come from Counting Crows tribute albums. I find that kind of humorous.

Mary, I have heard that there aren't any plans to record the presentations, but Ruth Charnock wrote: "I will not be making the conference proceedings available online - feel free to disseminate your paper in whatever way you see fit. After the symposium, I will be putting out calls for submissions to an edited collection based on, but not a facsimile of the event" Anita (and thanks for your encouraging words :-) ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2015 #53 **************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendto joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
