I just meant to say that it sucks to not have anyone post. yes, i know that they Zips aren't doing anything as a band right now, but there's tons of other stuff to talk about that they do. Then again, their stuff is hard to find and you really have to be in the right place at the right time for a lot of it :( I personally don't have anything new to tell anyone, cuz no one is telling me anything. drat... As for the Bach Stad, Ryan...One of the trumpet players in my jazz band is borrowing one to play on and he's really pleased with it. I don't know anything about trumpets myself... uhm...yeah, so what i'm saying is don't be shy, just post about anything. How was your day?

I think all the info I saw said that they would be taking the first half of the year off, but I never heard anything about what they were going to do with the remaining six months... hmmm. About the Bach St>R Subject: Re: SNZ, Bach St*R*ads, etc. How did that person get Je's old strad???? I know he has got a new one now (ever since SNZ's got there selmer contract) what did he just give it away???? _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

John (the guy) saw the ad for the trumpet in the paper, and being a high school student in need of a better trumpet, called him up and got invited out to his house, where he bought the horn. (As a result, when SNZ played Asheville last December, John got free backstage passes after the concert; I tried to see if he could get a couple more for me and a friend, but he couldn't. But then we hung around the backstage doors after the concert and managed to get in by looking pitiful and staying around for about thirty minutes after the concert ended.) So it was purchased before Je was really famous. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 09:43:55 PDT From: "Ryan Sargent" Subject: Re: Je's Bach Strad Hey, I was backstage at the december show in asheville. Was it the one when Cigar Store Indians played with them???? We were able to kind of look important in able to get backstage. There was a little party back there and everything. Before the show I met this couple who was friends with je in college, they also had backstage passes. I was able to talk with all of SNZ and get autographs. Je was really nice...we talked about practice time and how long he has been playing. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I was thinking about getting some of that beer they had. *grin* But I was driving that nite, so... I was the fattish guy, average height, with long dark hair and glasses. My hair has since been cut. Why am I telling you this? I don't know.

It was wierd to see him acting normal, as opposed to his on-stage hellish act. I talked to Stu forever, he is pretty cool...and smiles alot. At first I thought Je's wife was Katharine's sister, based on how she was dressed. Was it just me, or did Jim not show up...or stay in the dressing room for a long time???? _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

It's a really long and really cute article. i think you should all go buy it! (i'd transcribe it but it's f'n long!) Also, i was talking to Ben and he said that he'd like to take ken and Tom with him on the upcoming tour...which is good cuz we'll get to see the guys, but bad for people who don't like BFF, and bad cuz that might prolong any new stuff the Zippers do as a group. On a funny note, Ben and the guys were just in london and played a small "press" show...they had taken Tom and Ken along, but there was "trouble with visas" so they ended up hiring local musicians, and Tom and Ken just sat around and got drunk. BFF is in tokyo now, i'm not sure if Tom and Ken are with them... So there's some news for ya. 55 days till the new Katherine album is out!
