Forgive me if this post is a little outdated, as I've been moving and
have been trying to keep up with the P2 digests. But, OK, something's wrong
here. You mean Aretha Franklin, or the Temptations, or Ray Charles, or James
Brown isn't on the list? What's going on ... is it a case of poor
Hey all ... I'm trying to contact the Country Music Foundation about
their music catalog, but no luck. Anyone have an e-mail address or phone
number? If you can, please contact me offlist. Maybe brother Weisberger can
help in this regard ...

I and my fiancee saw Steve Earle and the Del McCoury Band at
Mississippi Nights in St. Louis. I couldn't complain that I didn't get my
money's worth; the show was just $15 and they played for three-plus hours,
minus a 15-minute break in the middle.
Some observations:

What's going on? My last two P2 digests have come in MIME form and not
text. How the heck am I supposed to open it? Is there something wrong with the
WashU server? Please reply to me offlist, as Lord knows I can't access the
answers currently.

My girlfriend and I were discussing this over a few beers, and I figured
it might be a fun thread here. Anyway, we both agreed that the Miss America
pageant was stilted and boring with its musical numbers. We thought it might
be fun someday to see an innocuous-looking contestant don a

and the missus got some of it figured out, but what we've attempted is missing
something. Any suggestions?

Jeez, can't the Grammys get a little danger and excitement going once
in a while (other than uninvited rappers at the lecturn and "Soy Bomb," of

I'm looking for an economically priced CD of Bob Wills' greatest hits,
preferably with his best lineup. The Tiffany Transcriptions look great, but
there's a bazillion volumes of the thing. A double-CD collection would be
acceptable. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a book about the history of Texas music, from Buddy

it in my local Borders store a few months ago. Predictably, it was gone the

I'm needing sheet music for Bruce Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind" from
the 1992 "Lucky Town" album for my wedding this summer. My bride's musical
tastes are a bit more upscale, and I figured my musical choice needs to be a
little rootsier and down-to-earth. (Besides, I've always loved
