Does anybody have a copy (or know where there is one) of the books to Steady On and Cover Girl? I'm very happy to pay for the books and all costs etc. I'm a guitarist and really want to learn the "real versions". Any help would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks.

But despite the two splashy Grammys (best record and best song) that her single "Sunny Came Home" won this year, she remains an artist whose albums sell respectably but never astoundingly. In an industry that prefers its female singers innocent and suggestible, Colvin has refused to file down her edge, writing tough little songs that possess depth and traction, rarely concerning herself with churning out hits. (A new album of lullabies inspired by the birth of her daughter, is due in October.) She is, in fact, so uninterested in promoting her own fabulousness that the cover of her last record, A Few Small Repairs, featured not a flattering photograph of herself in some gauzy setting, but a disturbing painting of a three-eyed woman holding a match, with a fire raging in the background, seemingly pleased with the havoc she has wrought. Though a marketing executive might challenge the notion that this constitutes intelligence, Colvin's refusal to conform is what will assure her a place in history long after all the fluffy young things have disappeared. "When I was young, the people I idolized didn't have a shtick," she explains. "It was all about the quality. Everything's much more of an advertisement now, so a shtick is good. But I've never really broken a sweat trying to come up with one." -- Kim France :) Rachel "you only live a day but it's brilliant anyway" -- elliott smith - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- my Mary Lou Lord page is at http://pages.nyu.edu/~rkb200/ To join the Mary Lou Lord mailing list, email Majordomo@smoe.org with ONLY "subscribe jinglejangle" OR "subscribe jinglejangle-digest" in the BODY.

Those of you in Shawn-land who play guitar are probably aware of the OLGA (OnLine Guitar Archive, http://www.olga.net/ ). It is a virtual campfire where people could share songs they've learned. A lot of the stuff on the site is of only fair quality, most of it is not even of 'Fake Book' quality. But the cool thing is that it can get you in the ball park for songs you want to learn and get you past some tough spots for songs you are learning by ear. In any event, the OLGA has been shut down under threat of lawsuit for copyright infringement. I won't go into detail, but to me, it is akin to suing someone for telling their friend about a movie they just saw. I'm all for everyone getting their fair piece of the pie, but in a lot cases the music was never available in print form or has gone out of print (Steady On, Fat City, Cover Girl are all out of print), so what's a budding guitarist/fan to do? OLGA is asking for donations to help fight this legal battle, but even if you can't contribute, you can sign a petition on their site to show your support. http://www.olga.net/ Thus endeth the plea. - -john == ............................. . .
