I've been in a long Lucy live-performance drought (well, long for me...) and have had a million things going on and not a lot that's Lucy-related to say. This won't be that exciting, but I figured I'd post because I am having a computer problem that involves a Lucy CD. I just got a NEW computer, on which I am typing now...a new iMac, purchased at long last after much yearning and saving, which gives me a host of lovely applications, among them my favorite---iTunes, on which I can load music from my CDs and then sit back and be treated to a blissful concert composed entirely of my favorite songs, randomly selected. The first CDs I reached for to load into my computer were, of course, Lucy's. (Lest this become a debate about file sharing, let me hasten to say I'm not doing it and not planning to---this is strictly for my personal, at-home enjoyment.) Anyway, I was able to import Every Single Day and Ten Year Night with no problem. Next I inserted Flesh and Bone into the drive---with particular excitement since it's my favorite Lucy CD aside from ESD. And then...my computer went nuts! The CD drive started making this horrible repetitive hiccoughing noise, and I could get the mouse to move but couldn't click anything...I couldn't even eject the CD. I restarted twice...same horrid hiccoughing sound and nothing much else. Not being the most tech-savvy person on the planet, I was panicked that I'd entirely BROKEN my new computer in one day...and I didn't know whether I was more upset about that or about the fact that my beloved Flesh and Bone was uselessly entombed within the machine! To make a long story short, I was finally able to get the CD out, though I'm still not sure how I did it. And other CDs since then have imported fine---but I'm scared to try to load Flesh and Bone again, much as I want to. I don't think the CD itself is defective---it plays fine in my regular CD player---but I'm wondering if the problem was just a random glitch or whether perhaps the existence of a Track 0 (the famous Lucy version of I've Just Seen a Face) could have confused my computer into paralysis and is likely to do so again if I retry it. Has anybody else out there successfully loaded Flesh and Bone into iTunes? Just thought I'd ask...
