Being that today was my birthday, I of course had a pretty shitty day, and thus slept through most of it (note that it's 4:30 AM here and I am wide awake) so i missed the Letterman performance. Anyone want to send me a tape, huh? huh? I've got shit to trade, yes I do. Oh, and the flugelhorn player that's always with BFF is the extremely talented and cute and charming and snappy dresser John Mark Painter (of Fleming & John). I just got their new album, and he not only produced and mixed the damn thing, but he also co-wrote all the songs with the equally cute Fleming, arranged and directed all the strings (as he did on the new BFF album) and played all of these instruments: Guitars, Bass, vocals, percussion, clavinet, Theramin, timpani, chimes, cello, flugelhorn, balalaika, vibes, piano, double bass, Oud, saz, buhl buhl, harmonium, porta chord, tabla, trombone, lap steel, xylophone, dilruba, spacephone, boodhran, accordian, dulcimer, khinjira, bongo Jeez, can you imagine what the music room at his house must look like? "uh, I know i've got a timpani in here somewhere. ah yes, here it is, under the tabla and next to the porta chord" the album's called "The Way We Are" btw...and Courtney doesn't like Fleming's voice, but I think the album's pretty cool. She does get a little screechy, but man, are they cute! again, happy birthday! send me a tape!

This is what I wrote to SBC: - ------------ Sirs: I am writing to inquire about the current state of your lawsuit against the Squirrel Nut Zippers, artists for the Mammoth Recording Studios of Carrboro, N.C. Many rumors have been circulating in musical circles about the nature and state of the suit, and would like to have the correct information so that I may clear up any misconceptions which may have occurred. I would appreciate any information which you would be willing to pass along to me. Thank you. - ------------ I sent this out last Thursday, so I hope to hear back by the middle of next week. Of course, if they don't reply... hmmm.... Didn't somebody on this list live up Cambridge way? Gerald (now 19) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 18:21:47 EDT From: Dragoon716@aol.com Subject: Re: More Birthday Fun yeah, I'll be working in cambridge starting monday.
