Or would that lead to backward marching? 2. Andre Vieira <alerche@ibm.net wrote: <<The State I am In"... I downloaded the first 50 seconds of the song one night through the Tweenet site..., some of the B&S songs I like to sing along the most are from that album. "How so?", you may ask. Well, let's take "The State I am In" as an example. The whole song has more or less the same meter, so I just sing the whole thing to the melody of the part available through the net....I do the same thing to "She's Losing It", "You're Just [list of songs].... even though I have never heard a single second of either one. Pretty sad, huh?>> No. If you recorded all that, it could be a way to get around the Tigermilk copyright problem. What a tape it would make, especially if recorded on a homemade tape of the kind envisaged by Mr Hopkins. 3. A very long shot. There was a band called Trees which released at least two LPs on CBS, probably in the early 1970s. Their female lead singer had (maybe still has) an absolutely beautiful voice and one of the LPs was called "The Garden of Jane Delawney". Searching the web for "Trees" has been very interesting and educational, as can be imagined, but hasn't given me any info on the band. Has anybody heard of them or know if any of their material is still available? 4. Thanks to those who recommended Alan Partridge. The TV guides would not have led me to watch it and, with the end of "Killer Net", there's such a gap in my life. (In my next life I'll try to get to college in Brighton - great accommodation and term assignments consisting of simulating electric chair usage with Teenage FC playing in the background seems not too onerous.) And Partridge even featured about 3 seconds each of China Crisis and Steeleye Span (ask your grandparents). 5. A message this long should ensure that PaulHoney doesn't send me to the corner on his return. It's going to be a crowded corner.
