Even though he's a bit too old for that role I think. So a ten years younger Michael Douglas. And what about Martin Sheen (sp?)? Not as the Wall Street guy, but somewhere else, maybe waiting for the storm. Angelina Jolie is a great choice, but I'd cast her for money for floods I think.

Terrell" Subject: [RS] Re: reunion hill Bill and others - I taped an interview with richard a few months back when he was in the asheville area and stopped by WNCW. He commented either in that interview or the night's show, i can't recall which, that the song Reunion Hill was written about this area, and in particular, I think, it was about Henderson county. Seems he had a grandmother or great aunt in the area that he used to visit, and he had the culture & topography in mind when writing the song. Eastern TN is not far off though, and the landscape is much of the same. I don't think he meant it to be any particular place, but merely a general area in the civil war era. there is, to my knowledge, no place called reunion hill, but then again, it wouldn't surprise me if such a place did exist. The area is very rich in history, from the cherokee civilization, spanish exploration, revolutionary era, civil war, early settlements, etc. Hope this helps! jennifer HotBot - Search smarter. http://www.hotbot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 09:06:09 EDT From: Gf212121@aol.com Subject: [RS] Doppelganger Mania Hey you guys (Electric Company, 1971), Rockin RonD offers Steve Croft as a 'Separated at Birth' for RS. Good one, but I always saw Mandy Patinkin, while my 14 year-old daughter (who hates to admit that 'Wisteria' makes her cry) insists that Richard is the long-lost twin brother of New York Mets pitcher Al Leiter. I see Leiter as a descendent of Tug McGraw, but I digress... Let's connect the circle...for the grandmother in 'Abuelita,' how about Shelley Morrison, who plays Rosario in 'Will and Grace.' While this may not be the ultimate choice, she did play a novice in 'The Flying Nun,' which has to count for a few points among this group. I don't remember if she drove the van, however... I like almost all of Sharon's choices (especially Robert Duvall and Winona Rider), but isn't Matt Damon a bit old to be playing an army brigade's mascot in 'Arrowhead?' How about Frankie Muniz, the star of 'Malcom in the Middle?' I love this thread, but when we get to the cowboy, Cinderella, hobo, and princess, it will probably be time to stop.

This hilltop is from where she expects to see her returning husband. In my mind's eye, the hill wouldn't have been the place of the reunion anyway. I suspect if they had seen each other, she'd have run down the hill to meet him. j a c ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 09:37:18 -0700 From: Lee Wessman Subject: Re: [RS] St. Agnes ? >Ron wrote: "But the fact that it's called "St. Agnes' Choir" and NOT >"The Rahway State >Prison Inmate Choir" has always led me to believe that the choir was NOT made up of inmates..." The song refers to "the van from St. Agnes' choir. Not the choir itself. Sister Mary has simply borrowed the van that the church choir normally uses, and driven it to her gig at the prison. - -lee ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 21:00:28 +0100 From: "Dave McKay" Subject: [RS] Name That Chord ... Seeing as we're in a left field mood at the moment, talking guitars and actors, this discussion point, which went down like a lead balloon over on the Dar List a month back, seems appropriate! I got into a brief email discussion a while back with one a friend about guitar chords, of all things. She was telling me about D minor, and how cool it was, and I played it, and it was. I remarked how amazing it was that one finger of a difference could change a happy chord like D into D minor, which I described as a borderline psychotic chord. So here's the deal ... what's *your* favourite chord? And, as a bonus question, in the movie version, who would play your chord, ie embody the personality (rather than actually strum the thing)? I decided that D minor would be played by Anthony Perkins. I forget the name of my own favourite chord. I've never actually played it in a song. I just discovered it one day. Standard tuning, you fret the middle two strings at position 5. As far as I recall it's an E with a whole host of junk after it. Sharp sign ... an 11 ... stuff like that. Anyway, it's laid back, and kinda bluesy, and definitely a summer chord, but in an unconventionally attractive way. And I'd pick Mary Stuart Masterson to play it.

The Episcopal Church definitely has saints. My grandmother goes to a Church named "St. James the less" (I think there were two apostles named James and one became "the less"). Less well known is that the Episcopal Church has nuns (I did not know this till I looked it up): http://corl.homepage.com/ But my first thought was that Sister Maria was Catholic and I still see her played by Dana Delany.

I was coerced into buying Sparrows Point and Blue Divide by Ron Greitzer today. Yeah, he twisted my arm all the way from the right coast. Actually he threatened to never speak to me again if I didn't run right out this very minute. I obliged him and now my Richard collection is up to date unless there are some bootlegs floating around that I don't know about. So, my question today is why does Blue Divide spell Mary's last name "Magdalene" (the way I am used to spelling it) and yet the Cry3 record spells it "Magdelen?" Is this just the ugly, anal editor showing in me? Even my spell-check doesn't like it. j a c ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 13:46:18 -0700 From: "Clary, John (CLRY)" Subject: RE: [RS] Prison choir No, the Episcopal church in America and the Anglican Catholic Church of England share the Saints with the Roman Catholic Church, as well as the Orthodox branches too. The Roman church probably denies this. All of these denominations have nuns too, well I'm not 100% sure regarding nuns in the Orthodox churches. For that matter, the Lutherans might too. I was baptized Lutheran, confirmed Episcopalian, started to attend seminary, switched to Assembly of God, got really screwed up in the process, dropped out and now it's all a fleeting nightmare... j a c > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandy Schaffels [SMTP:schaffeb@emapUSA.com] > By the way, St. Agnes Church would HAVE to be Catholic--isn't that the > only religion that believes in Saints and has nuns? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 16:46:37 -0400 From: "Norman A.

So, on Cry3, it's how Richard wated it. John, did you also notice the verse changes....
