Townes Far Cry from Dead?

1999-04-21 Thread Larry Slavens
Someone on eBay is offering an advance promo "of Townes Van Zandt's new CD 'Far Cry from Dead'." They're selling it with a press kit with bio and photo, so it sure sounds like there's a new TVZ on the horizon. So, industry weasels, what's the word? Is this the stuff he was recording with

I've pitched the digests from a couple weekends ago when there was a little discussion here about the Cartwrights. Would the people who went/were asking about their show (or otherwise have an interest in the band) drop me a note offlist? Thanks! Larry [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The change will affect only a few people; possibly none of your list subscribers. Only individual subscribers who have their "mail mode" set to "digest" will see any change in what they receive. "A few people; possibly none. . . " in this case is what, several dozen? Subscribers using

I always find these debates interesting, as I've been a tape trader for about 17 years. And that's TRADER-- I've never bought a "bootleg" tape or CD, have never sold a tape, and won't trade with anyone who looks like they may sell tapes/CDs. Trading tapes has introduced me to a lot of music

Tickets went on sale today for Lyle Lovett at this great old 1200-seat auditorium in Des Moines. The show's Friday, May 7, and would be well-worth driving in from several hours away. The hall has great sight lines and acoustics, and I've already mentioned how quiet we repressed Methodist

New Los Lobos list

From previous comments I know there are several Los Lobos fans on the list, so thought I'd pass along word that a new Los Lobos mailing list is getting started. It's probably not going to be a very high-volume list, but with the new CDs from Cesar Rosas, the Latin Playboys, and David

That's interesting, a plea from the stage in another state, etc. I've heard Gurf say some stuff about Lucinda from stages too, but it was generally humorous and less, um, "longing" in nature g. --junior npimh: "She Still Thinks I Care" This wasn't humorous and it wasn't "longing" in the
