Subject: [RS] Tuning Paranoia

  Just had to laugh at the G-string breakage phobia Ed posted to this list.  
Just yesterday I replaced a g-string (and I have a set of Elixirs on right 
now) that I broke in tuning back to standard from some cockamamie tuning I 
tried after reading it in Acoustic Guitar magazine (Louise Taylor's DACGAD).  
I still don't know how or why it broke. but I obviously was tuning it up too 
high for some reason.  I usually break high E-strings too.  Now I'm really 
paranoid about tuning around.  Gonna have to do what RonG does, which means I 
need to buy two more guitars.

All this talk makes me think again too...I was just commenting to someone
that strings must have gotten better in the last 10 years because since I
started playing again three years ago, I haven't broken a single string!
Even tuning up and down and playing Lucy's "Turn the Lights Back On" at her
full concert force.

Dear lord, I can't even think about tuning a g-string above standard pitch.
Just a half-turn in the wrong direction and the broken string feiry swoops
down and kisses me on the cheek.  Too bad because tuning the g-string up to
A sounds really cool.  I actually tabbed a dougie maclean song in this
tuning a few weeks back.  Needless to say I dropped all the other strings
down a whole step and capoed up 2 frets instead of tuning up the g-string.
Damn my tunaphobia.

Subject: [RS] wisteria

So, last night I drove two and a half hours through the central and western pa
snow to meet with the realtor and get things rolling for listing my late
mother's house... the place i had called home since about age 4... (I'm pushing
hard on 40.) A very draining and emotional thing, y'know?

And you know how, like, you have a toothache and you just can't help but poke
the sensitive part with your tounge, even knowing it'll hurt?

I just HAD to hear wisteria on the drive back...


...give me just a moment more
to walk through those rooms again...

A heads up while out fishing for salmon.  
Or maybe out by the coral reefs...how full the nets came in.

Please read the following virus alert carefully.

***************** VIRUS ALERT - W32/Naked@MM ****************


Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber:

Since its discovery early on March 6, 2001, McAfee.com has
seen a large and growing number of computers infected with
W32/Naked@MM. This is a HIGH RISK virus that is spreading
rapidly via the Windows email program Outlook. The infected
email can come from addresses that you recognize. Attached
is a file named NakedWife.exe, which poses as a Flash movie.
The email message can appear as follows:

Subject: Fw: Naked Wife
Body:
My wife never look like that! ;-)

Best regards,
(sender's name)

Attachment: NakedWife.exe

When run, it copies itself to a TEMP directory and displays
a window entitled "Flash" which reads "JibJab loading". It
then attempts to delete all .BMP, .COM, .DLL, .EXE, .INI,
and .LOG files in the WINDOWS and WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories
and emails itself to all recipients in the Windows Address
Book using Microsoft Outlook.

Subject: [RS] a little townes... three chords, no waiting

Before folks start complaining that we're getting too guitar oriented, here's a three chorder that looks right but i don't have a source here to compare...

G                 C                 G
        Why does she sing her sad songs for me I'm not the one
                         C             G
        To tenderly bring her soft sympathy I've just begun
           D                                                G
        To see my way clear and it's plain if I stop I will fall
              D                                                   G
        I can lay down a tear for her pain just a tear and that's all
        C                        G
        What does she want me to do?
        C                           D                  C                 G
        She says that she knows the moments are rare I suppose that it's true
        C                   D                        C              G
        Then on she goes to say I don't care how she knows...but I do
        D                     C                        G
        Maybe she just has to sing For The Sake Of The Song.
         D                    C                       G
        Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong?


etc.

"for the sake of the song" by townes van zandt

Also noticed a few GCD's in the bill staines songbook- among them "a place in the choir"

Richard performs at the Iron Horse on the 14th. I just bought tickets
today! Who else is going?

This is a band show, right Kerry? Who's he playing with? Larry, Lincoln,
and Denny? Or will Rad be there?
