In a message dated 98-04-14 17:04:18 EDT, you write: << It used to be good between us I don't know how to explain We used to be Adonis and Venus Now we're the water flowing down the drain >> I been eating your crops like a big old locust >From now on I'm gonna be a little more in focus>> Thanks so much for the lyrics, it's weird when you find out what they really are and compare them to what you thought... it always makes me laugh, and sometimes i get dissappointed, but this time i laughed.... I thought it was "We used to be at the down center of Venus..." and "I've been eatin your crap like a day old locust" I want to thank the kind hearted person who sent me this legacy tape, there was no e-mail or phone number for me write or call so i'm assuming the angel is on the list...if i owe you money just e-mail me i'll be happy to send the cost, i doso much trading i can't remember things, that and i'm a college student, yah that would explain it. and for the "buying the CD after getting a boot" thread. I'll add my 2 cents and it's basically the brunt of what everyone else is voicing. I need the artists CD, i feel if I don't have the artwork and the lyrics and the gifted musicians thanks to all her fellow musicians friends and family, and who played what - who sang backing etc, i don't have the full musical package of that artist, maybe that's where i fall into the advertising industries "packaged product scheme" thang, like in Say Anything :) ANd i love boots for nonprofit, it's like a community sharing thing and it rocks, I would have never gotten to hear I write the Book etc. and that's one her most rocking songs, to find all the other hidden treasures is just another life challange... anyone know if she has released any singles and the B-sides to those singles??? I really really like the Niagra, Niagra sndtrk!!!

I would love to have the promo... just as a cool thing to have. But if I had it, I would still buy the actual release. - ---------------------------------------- Graphic Design - Multimedia - Web Design email: dlewis@accesscable.net web: http://mypage.accesscable.net/~dlewis ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1998 22:05:26 -0400 (EDT) From: shoes Subject: MM: sharing the new album MM's-- DITTO for me too!!!! in fact, i'm sure most all madmishers would love a copy, and i'm pretty sure it won't hurt patty cause won't we all buy the real album when it comes out??? anyone willing to share? chris On Tue, 14 Apr 1998, KRAMER 076 wrote: > If anyone who has picked up a copy of Flaming Red would be willing to tape it > for me drop me a line.

My name is Mike Connell and I manage/own the Jewel and Patty Griffin mailing lists here at smoe.org. My purpose for writing you today is to ask for your assistance in a project/fund raiser to help keep smoe.org up and running for many more years to come. A gentle bloke by the name of Jeff Wasilko owns smoe.org, and while he does have a merry band of smoe-elves to help him in various tasks in operating the system, Jeff has always paid the monthly operating costs (NOT a small penny) and of course had paid for the expensive equipment it presently runs on. He has always offered this service for free since day one....no user fees....no list owner fees...totally free :-) Many of your favorite artists and their fans have benefited from this service, as smoe.org hosts lists for such artists as Happy Rhodes, Paula Cole, Jewel, Patty Griffin, Tori Amos, Thomas Dolby, Poe, Susan Werner, Leah Andreone, Luscious Jackson, Ben Folds Five, Maria Callas, the Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin and many, many more. Some of these once unknown artists, and more to come I'm sure, had their internet presence begin right here at smoe.org :-) For a complete list of which artists have mailing lists hosted at smoe.org, you can go to http://www.smoe.org/lists At the present moment Jeff is looking into replacing the hardware smoe.org operates on with more modern equipment, as the present workhorses are a pair of seven year old SUN Sparc stations. Being seven years old is pretty much dinosaur age in computer terminology (smoeasauruses?), and these systems are acting older than their age. This replacement is necessary to get newer and better equipment in place before the present smoe.org falls down and goes boom permanently, leaving the lists at smoe.org temporarily without a home :-) As you might imagine, this replacement is going to cost a pretty penny. On other list servers this would be no problem, as money would be used from the user fees. However since such fees don't exist here at smoe.org, we are asking for your help in the form of donations. We are not asking for buku bucks here, just whatever you can give, whether it be $1, $2, $5, $10....whatever. You can send a check, a money order, or if a buck or two or three you can send cash (that is your choice) If you can't afford anything, don't sweat it, this is NOT mandatory. We are just asking for you to help out if you can. Money orders are a piece of cake. (At least in the USA) They don't have a large fee at all, generally less than a buck, sometimes as low as 35 cents....although money orders from banks usually carry a larger fee (go figure ;-) Your best bet for a money order (in the USA) would be from the US Post Office....all money orders there have an 85 cent fee no matter what the dollar amount of the money order is. *** All checks or money orders should be made out to Jeff Wasilko :-) FOREIGN (Non-USA) LIST MEMBERS: I'm not sure at all what is the best method for you folks. We are open for suggestions. I know that the USA Post Offices cash Canadian Postal money orders, so no problem there, Jeff can cash them there. Of course, any foreign cash sent in can easily be exchanged at a bank. From what he told me, his bank has a 15$ surcharge on any overseas money order cashed, so this option is out. If you have any ideas, please write me and I'll discuss the best ones with Jeff and mention them in a follow up post to all the lists next week. ********************** HOW TO DONATE: ********************** Simple :-) Just send what you want (no Monopoly money please) to me at Mike Connell PO Box 1206 Binghamton NY 13902-1206 and I'll tally up all the figures etc and send it all on to Jeff :-) Remember, please make out all checks or money orders to Jeff Wasilko In your envelope, please include a note that contains your full name, the list(s) you belong to, and your email address you use here at smoe.org Please help in this mission to give smoe.org a new home :-) If you have any questions, please feel free to write me and ask. I thank you all in advance :-) Mike "Once a bell ringer, always a bell ringer" Connell :-) ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V2 #97 ********************************
