Hotmail, headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA (USA), is the pioneer provider of free web-based email service. Microsoft plans to integrate Hotmail's services into The Microsoft Network Financial terms of the purchase have not yet been announced. "Hotmail is one of the most useful services for the general Internet population," said Dave Murphy, President of Damar Group, Ltd. Murphy continued, "[Hotmail] allows anyone with web access, even those who without a personal computer who use university or library resources, to have a permanent, personal email address. Even one of my family members maintains a Hotmail account. With it he's able to retrieve his messages anywhere he can get to the web." Hotmail currently has more than 9 million users worldwide.

It wasn't very long ago that I went surfing and stumbled onto this mailing list for a singer I had fallen head over heals in love with. I seem to have joined at the beginning of the dry spell...these long months with nothing but an occasional scrap to live vicariously through! And of course...the hope of the announcement of a set date for the first of many concerts...new music...the chance to be touched by a wonder! And in the meantime...I've grown accustomed to the letters from you in my mailbox everyday. Some of you I've even become very close friends with..and I count you among my inner circle. I know, what a computer geek! So, what's the point here. When I came to the list, someone was posting quite often. Her posts were sweet and innocent and reminded me of what was important in life. I felt like she was quite an asset to the list...and of course...not everyone agrees with me! But for those who do...I thought you'd like to know that our Pooh has unsub'd from the list. Jane, the person behind Pooh, is a grown-up who can make her own decisions about such things, so it's hardly necessary to try and talk her out of it. But, if you would like to express you appreciation for what her posts might have meant to you over the years..this might be a good time to do it. You can e-mail me privately if you need her address. In the meantime..I hope everyone has had a spectacular start to the new year! Are we keeping our resolutions?? ; ) Take care everyone...

The delight was, of course, Cherry Avenue. it's great to know she's working on the new album, even though this movie thing is becoming such a project for her!

We do not have any further > information. bummer... when MLE stated that she was working on "the new album" in the chat room on monday night, did she mention if that was the soundtrack to the janis movie (which she indicated she was going to record in december in one of the chat logs) or a new, completely separate MLE album? oh, and then there's "cherry avenue". is it just me or do these lyrics sound a bit recycled? not that it isn't a real song, but that its themes sound *so* familiar or cliched (in an endearing melissa-type of way). either it's a work-in-progress (hopefully) or MLE's slipping. it just doesn't compare to "a truthful lullaby", IMO. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Other times you find yourself standing out in the rain and allowing it to just plain soak you down! So I have been out in the rain for awhile and now I feel as if I may be renewed and ready to sing....... Okay! I will spare you all! I want to say "Thank You" for all of you who posted about me unsubbing. I simply needed to say "When" But to tell the truth I never knew some of you really would miss this crazy ole bear. I missed you all and I gotta tell ya. Being newless about Melissa is just plain no fun at all! I hear she bopped into the chat room again with a new song! Very Exciting! Can't wait to hear the new stuff!!!!!!! I am entirely in withdrawal !!!!!!!!!!!!! I Got the "Melissa I Miss Your Music So Bad I'm Shaking Blues!!!!!" Like a new colt in the spring running free and full of spirit we are racing the clouds as they roll over the hills and dancing through the sunlight coming forth from the heavens yet praying for showers of music to soak us down and humble us to the sounds of a melody from a woman of such passion. Here in the meadow soft and lush with only the sounds of earthly treasures we beckon forth the strings and listen in awe as they make our hearts resound in joy. And in the dark we know the voice as we raise our candles high. As grounded hearts in armor will truly learn to fly.

I can see where Suzanne is coming from. I have had the opportunity to catch her show a couple of times and she is one of the most open and up front performers I have seen yet still hardly recognized as such. She has worked long and hard. And has always been an out lesbian whom I have found extremely funny. She does do a segment of her show about ME also Martina and Ellen. If you ever get the chance to support this woman your money will be well spent. I believe all of those before have paid their dues for us to come forth from dark closets and breathe a little easier. Being out is truly more fashionable these days not to say that here are not places where one still finds crosses burnt in their front yard and where our animals pay the price with their lives for us. It is the ones who came before that have given us the courage to stand our ground and not be silent. It is the ones who stand up and raise the rainbow flag who truly light the way and hold us close to their hearts saying fear not for you are not alone. Parents may forsake their children and co workers may turn their backs but the warnth of the light shining through from open doors will show us that truly love is never wrong and we will standfast in the strongest of storms and never go back into that darkness again. I for one stand up and take a bow applauding those who have come before and for their sacrafices. Just my humble opinion.

There are a great many gay performers who were out from day one. They never dodged questions about their sexuality and were always up-front concerning their homosexuality (even, as in Westenhoefer's case, incorporating it into their acts). These folks were out before it was chic to be out, and they were dumped on before it was chic to embrace them. It's an issue that's much more involved than I care to delve into on this list, but it's probably safe to say that artists who have worn their orientation on their sleeves since they hit the public eye have been discriminated against on more than a few occasions and their careers have most likely been limited due to their long-term honesty. (Although I'm not sure why Westenhoefer referred to kd lang as one who didn't come out until she was established...I didn't think kd had ever denied that she was gay.) It's an issue that is not only con- fined to queers in the public eye. Many of us wrestle with this same issue when meeting new friends, entering new jobs, etc. Do we come out right off the bat, or do we take the safe road and establish our- selves first? It's a complicated issue and one of security and personal choice. OTOH, I believe that Melissa, Ellen, Barney Frank, et al, have done so much for public visibility and the gaining of acceptance (not to say that the average out queer in middle America has not)--regardless of when they've come out. Like many others on this list, I've wondered just exactly why MLE came out to begin with (some have suggested, and I've sometimes agreed, that a majority of her decision could've been based upon publicity). Regardless of her reasoning (or anyone else's, for that matter), it still took guts and it was still a risk to an already established career and life for her to do what she did. Same thing with EDG (although, IMO, it has appeared as though she's struggled quite a bit more with the issue and I never really felt as though her decision was a business move). I think this is a pretty 'touchy' issue about which many people have many different opinions.

OUT gave it a very nice review and how well Joyce put it all together. Pauline and I got a chance to meet Joyce Luck and her wonderful Soulmate. Let me tell you. They both are the nicest and sweetest people you can meet. Joyce is very very down to earth and very Shy at times. Pauline and I enjoyed their company tremendously. You see Pauline and I are Melissa Etheridge Virgins. LOL We have never seen her in concert. We have seen every video of her that we can get our hands on. So when "Our Little Secert" came out by Joyce Luck. We could not wait to get a copy and read it. It really showed us how Melissa had this beautiful, creative musice gift in her since she was a child. It showed us how honest, loving and caring Melissa is about family, friends and especially her FANS. Melissa FANS mean alot to her. We can not wait for Melissa to tour again. Pauline and I will definitely be at her very first Concert in 98 or 99. No one is for sure yet when she will tour again. So I just wanted you all to know how hungry we are for as many Melissa Etheridge Concert stories you want to share. If you all ever get a chance to meet Joyce Luck and her g/f Lynn, it will be a TREAT. It was like seeing Melissa Etheridge through Joyce Luck Eyes. Joyce has such a great respect for Melissa Etheridge. She has kept her Love for Melissa Etheridge very professional. Pauline and I learned from Joyce not to be a Crazy FAN. Always remember The MUSIC, you can know who Melissa really is through her Music. Pauline and I love you Joyce and Lynn, and thank you so much for sharing another part of Melissa Etheridge with two Melissa Virgins. :o) Thanks to you both for taking so much time with us. Now we can not wait to see Melissa Etheridge in concert. I know Melissa can rock, I saw the Video " I'm The Only One". Now if she is like that, man on man, Pauline and I will have a Blast!!! So enough said, just wanted to share with you how "Our Little Secret" helped Pauline and I understand this Talented Womyn even more. Thanks Joyce Luck. :o) Love and Peace Chris2Wood aka Christine Wood2Chris aka Pauline ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jan 1998 17:10:33 EST From: Chaosreins Subject: *etheridge* sara lee (nmec) off the wall question: has sara lee (bass guitar etc) played with the b-52's? i could swear she's on their "love shack" video! audrey ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jan 1998 16:49:47 -0600 From: Pamala Crago Subject: *etheridge* New Artist on the horizon I know you all love MLE, well there is a new Australian female singer by the name of Marie Wilson, who was just signed by Warner who has a similar style.

As I recall, kd didn't come out in so many words until... hmm, I can't remember when she did, but for quite a while she didn't address the issue directly. MLE didn't deny that she was gay either, at least not that I'm aware of; before she came out, she would just redirect the conversation when it got to that point. I'm not sure how anybody could have *missed* that kd wasn't exactly the straightest thing that ever walked the earth , but it did take her a while to start talking about it -- if I'm not mistaken, it was about the same time that she "came out" as a vegetarian as well, and pissed off a lot of the country music community, esp. in Canada. I don't believe she made one Big Announcement about it as MLE did, though (or if she did, I was so un-surprised that it failed to make an impression on me). As some have mentioned, I think Suzanne Westenhoefer has a point. There are many, many women musicians (and comedians) who've never hidden or danced around the fact of being lesbians, and for the most part, it *is* the ones who didn't come out till they were established that are doing the best, sales-wise. (Ani DiFranco, who has always been openly queer, is an exception -- but then she's an exception to most rules anyhow!) I do agree with Jen that it's a complex issue, though. It's possible that many of the artists for whom coming out was essential from the start have also been bucking the system in other ways, and not buying into the major labels and the corporate music industry. Still, what I wouldn't give to hear Teresa Trull, June Millington, Gretchen Phillips, Lucie Blue Tremblay, etc. on the radio now and then! I *hope* that this pattern is changing, and that newer artists won't feel the need to stay closeted until they've been accepted artistically & only then take the risk of coming out. Nothing against MLE, Ellen, et al., who I do admire for coming out (whether or not it "works" for them commercially, I still admire honesty) - -- I just look forward to the day when we can *be* out from the start, without it being an issue, and I wish that some of the very talented women who've been taking that risk from day one hadn't had to pay the price of obscurity for their honesty. - ---------- Chaosreins wrote: > off the wall question: has sara lee (bass guitar etc) played with the b-52's? > i could swear she's on their "love shack" video! Yep, that's Sara Lee, Mistress of the Low End! (as Ani DiFranco dubbed her) She's played with a number of bands, including B-52's and Gang of Four, as well as Ani and Indigo Girls. I'd actually really love to hear her play with MLE... I think she's a terrific bass player & would add a lot to the band's sound. Nothing against Mark Browne; I'm just a big Sara Lee fan.

It's a complicated issue and one of security and personal >choice. I wholly agree that coming out -- whether to one close friend or to the whole world -- is a very personal issue that must be weighed by individuals and respected by others. But I think it goes further than that, in one respect. When meeting new people -- whether acquaintances or business colleagues -- I certainly don't expect to hear about their heterosexuality as a forefront to our encounter. This is especially true (for me, at least) on the work front. I've worked with many many people over the years who don't bring ANYthing about their personal lives into the workplace -- no pictures, no references to spouses/SO's/kids/parents/religion/anything, no probing questions of others -- until far along into the employment (if then)....because they hold a philosophy that it has nothing to do with the business that brings us together in the workplace each day. Am I shocked and dismayed when eons later they "come out" and start talking about spouses and personal life facts, only to find that they are het and holding out on everyone?? And on the other extreme, how many people have had encounters in business with str8 men and women who DO put it out there *right* off the bat, flaunting an *extreme* interest in the opposite sex? Some may react differently to such a situation, but I don't find that to be particularly appropriate either. Westenhoefer found it appropriate within herself to put it right out there in her work from the get-go. That's her choice and people have responded to that in both extremes over the years. Melissa chose to introduce herself in the music business with her *music* at the forefront, not her personal life. Ellen DeGeneres managed for *years* -- and on its own merits garnered enough popularity to spawn a primetime sitcom -- WITHOUT material about relationships and sexuality in her stand-up. They came out only after their talents as musical/comedic artists stood out on their own rights. I wonder, could Westenhoefer do an hour of FUNNY stand-up without mentioning her own sexual orientation?

Actually, in 89/90, Ellen had a huge chunk of jokes in her live show about a trip she took with her boyfriend, and comments about said boyfriend were an integral part of the story. I thought I recalled this from when I saw her live during that time, in NYC, and had that confirmed when they showed a clip of her telling the story on a Lifetime TV special about her. (Intimate Portrait perhaps?) Reminds me of the interview MLE did with Rolling Stone, I think it was, where the background in the article says that she was living with her boyfriend. . . All this aside, I too, applaud the Suzanne Westenhoefer's for being out and proud from the beginnings of their career, but I do think the question stands - what would it have done to MLE's career if she had announced herself as a lesbian at the first Grammy Awards telecast she performed on? Would we have cared, or would it have put the kibosh on a career which has proven that sexuality doesn't have a whole heck of a lot of bearing on the quality of music that a performer makes?

The arch-enemies wound up as business partners when Delsener (through parent company SFX) bought Irving Plaza in November. Scher is the longtime booker at the hot concert venue and is under contract to continue bringing in such acts as Joe Cocker, Oasis, Melissa Etheridge, k.d. lang, the Verve and the Dave Matthews Band. "John nearly went ballistic when he heard that Ron had bought the place," an insider told PAGE SIX. The angry Scher wasted no time filing a lawsuit and asked for a preliminary injunction that would save him from working with Delsener. Yesterday, State Supreme Court Judge Ira Gammerman tossed out Scher's motion. So, under a deal made with former Irving Plaza owner Andrew Rasiej, Scher is still required to book acts at Irving Plaza, even though insiders say he hasn't done so since the Delsener deal went through. Scher had already booked acts, including a December gig for Dylan and a Maceo Parker show New Year's Eve - but the space has been dark since. "January and February are historically quiet months for venues, but not so quiet that business is nonexistent," an insider noted. Scher and Delsener have been competitors for nearly two decades. But their rivalry became an all-out feud in the early '80s when Delsener stole the then up-and-coming Red Hot Chili Peppers from Scher - who had been booking the band at his venue, the Ritz - and brought them to Roseland Ballroom, which Delsener controlled. Delsener is still the promoter of the venerable Roseland, while Scher handles the hot new Hammerstein Ballroom. SFX bought Irving Plaza for about $2 million in November from Rasiej, who with nightlife veteran Bill Brusca had built it into one of the premiere showcases for new bands and a popular intimate venue for big name performers. According to insiders, Rasiej had originally offered to sell the place to Scher, who never made an offer. Delsener - who had worked with Rasiej at Irving Plaza until Scher came in in 1994 - could not be reached yesterday. Eric Levine, senior vice president for operations at Scher's firm, Metropolitan, said the promoter intends to proceed with his lawsuit, but in the meantime, "has no intention of keeping (Irving Plaza) dark." Rasiej told us: "I just hope they get this resolved soon, so that Irving Plaza can continue to contribute to New York City's great nightlife scene." _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Ok...since noone else has jumped in, and I hate to see this project get axed (esp with the prospect of a fall tour!) I'll take over the bowling shirt project. I've given this alot of thought, as I know it will be a major commitment, but decided I want to do it...for myself and the others who have looked forward to being able to spot other listers at the concerts when they resume. I must add tho, that when I start something, I like to get it done. Therefore, I will be asking for MARY and JOYCE to please email me privately with the info they have so far. I will be needing some idea of the quanity so that I can nail down a price quote. Also, as far as the voting on the design...did that ever happen? Im hoping Mary will have that info, as well as the URL where the designs could be viewed again. Again follks, I don't want to waste any time getting this rolling, and there will be a definate cut off date to when orders will be stopped..but I will make certain everyone interested has an oppurtunity to order. I don't want to sound like a B****h here...but I would like this to run as smoothly as possible! I will keep everyone posted often of progress made.

It's never too early to start FF'98 talk. In fact, we already set the date this year to give you folks more time to save money and plan to attend, if you so desire. The big date this year, is Saturday 6 June. i realize it's forever away, but for the folks who attend from out of town, this gives you plenty of time to get the cheapest possible airfare. (If you are interested, we can provide you with a good internet site for searching out those all important oh-so-cheap flights.) For what it's worth, i've already got confirmations from the infamous Shirtgal (AKA Gorilla Gal) and the Divine SueD, the videographer randy, AND the shy&demure Shirl the hurl girl. Hey Punster, you gonna be here again this year?! Last year, about 20 MElisters showed up for the food and fun. The other attendees included friends of MElisters as well as friends of Michelle's and mine. And friends of friends. So for some quick info, the Fajita Fest '98 (FF'98) is basically an all day party. My roommate (Michelle) and I make fajitas and provide all the necessary fixings. Mich makes some of *THE* best fajitas you'll ever eat! Just ask some of the folks who have attended the last two years. "My oh my yes. They just get better every year. Mich's fajitas are worth the trip to Austin even if there were no party." SueD It's held in Austin, Texas, where i live. The only thing you have to bring is whatever you want to drink, whether it be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. And for the record, although it turns into an eating and drinking bash, there will be quite a few people in attendance who do not drink alcohol. Everyone is welcome and invited...providing you're not listed on the official MEIN Melissa stalkers list or a mass murderer. ;) This is basically a get-together that Michelle and i have been doing for about 7 or 8 years. And we've invited MElisters for the past 2. It's a great opportunity to meet fellow ME fans. It's an all around good time. We flush MEListers out of the bushes for this event, ask Tigerlily. We eat and drink, get to know people, play drinking games, watch and drool over ME videos (Uh, Joyce, you will be supplying them again this year, right?!) and just basically hang out having a good time. There are also a few people who bring their guitars and sing. and other folks are welcome to join in. We're open to any suggestions you may have for other things to do including any attempts at white girl dancing! The most important, overriding aspect about the FF this year, is that we'll also be celebrating SueD's 40th birthday!!! "Ohmygod, someone older than the Finkster? How can that be?!" -Anonymous If you want more information, contact me privately at: eburns@scci-ad.com or you can contact Patti Fink (AKA Finkster, Sharpie Gal) at pattif@iadfw.net or patti@imncorp.com Patti will take care of getting directions out to everyone who needs and/or requests them. She's the overall organizer and does a GREAT job of getting everyone together. As the time draws nearer, we would like to get a general ideal of how many folks will attend. So please let either Patti or me know if you'll be here. (This helps us during the secret marinating ceremony for the fajita fixins beforehand. The most sought after event of the year in chef's circles throughout the world.) There is *NO* obligation for anyone to attend, even if you originally say you'll be here and then end up being held hostage by work or "real life". Of course, should you suddenly find yourself free on Saturday - June 6, please feel free to swing by and join in the fun. The more the merrier, especially when it comes to our traditional "Mean People Suck" toasts. For those of you who dare to attend, these are just a few of the things to be on the lookout for this year: Come with us on the journey to find out if Joyce continues to build dyke barriers. Join in the fun of supervising party arrangements while overseeing the opening of the tequila bottles. See if Renee can finish a WHOLE bottle of water this year. Will Chuck continue to be the only guy brave enough to admit he's a MELister? Enter into the contest to see who will be the first to succumb and fall under the spell of the sharpie this year. Or, just make bets on what time the Finkster passes out. The fun just never ends! We'll post *MUCH* shorter periodic reminders throughout the next four months. Hope to see a lot of you here!!

Well, Lizzard, I'm so glad you asked me. Ya know, it really depends on if you all can stand my puns or not. Actually, it would be cool to see you all again, as well as some newbies that will attend this year. So, to answer your question, yes, I do believe that I'll come on down to Austin (providing I don't get hit by a truck or something) to join in the Fajita Festivities.

Glad to know there is still an intrest in this project! Mary has contacted me, and I have made several inquireries locally, as with a project of this size, I would much prefer dealing face to face instead of via internet vendors.( I can be more intimidating that way!!) Mary will be forwarding me all her information this weekend. Right now, my biggest questions are the approximate quanity (this will help determine the price) and the logo design that was preferred. Ofcourse, the more colors and detail in the design will also influence the price. I was told the designs could be viewed at: http://mygale.org/06/poune.niche/logo.htm Yet, I received an error message when I tried..anyone know whats up with that? Please let me know if you can access it, if so Ill blame it on my browser. I AM ASKING ALL INTERESTED parties email me privately with intent to purchase..PLEASE. Also include QUANITY and SIZES you will need. I will confirm your intent to order and notify all when I have secured a deal. Also, if there are any price caps that would prevent you from ordering when you would have otherwise, let me know what they are and again the design may be varied so all can afford them. But I DO NEED A COUNT to get this started. It is imperative that I hear from you if you are planning to order. If I remember correctly, we had discussed the logo on the back, with the list URL, and a rainbow on the sleeve? Do to legalities, we are unable to use the "official" ME logo.

It took me two years of tear-free nights of high school trying to understand myself and I had no one to turn to.....until I found a connection - Ms. Etheridge her self- one by one I bought her albums and one by one all my fears and insecurities of being alone left.

Why couldnt I??? so, thanx to Melissa and the powerful messages she sends out in her music I've grown to love myself and speak true!!! kay.....well I have homework to do...lol....so love yourself and others and learn to see people for WHO there are and not just WHAT they are!!! :) Erin ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #339 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #340 Date: January 19, 1998 3:48 AM etheridge-digest Monday, January 19 1998 Volume 01 : Number 340 *etheridge* Yearwood sings YCSWID [Stv1ky ] *etheridge* typing to fast..

In the February 1998 issue of Grammy Magazine, Melissa is interviewed. Here are some choice quips: Interviewer Leigh Bailey: "After spending two years on recording hiatus--in development hell and maternal bliss--Etheridge sounds downright serene, and is at last ready to get back to work in the studio and on the road." On getting back, Melissa says, "I'm loving the recuperation, but I do appreciate the audience response. So I'm coming back. I've had a great time, I really have....I've been close to my friends and family, and it's been really nice. But all of a sudden, I start thinking, 'Gosh, I remember touring...'" And adds, "I was touring constantly, constantly putting things out....I put out five albums in seven years. I deserved a break. And I think a lot of people deserved a break from me." On the Joplin film: "The Land of Film is a strange place that I don't know. It's, 'Everybody hurry up,' then, 'Everybody stop.' I decided it was time for me to get back to work." [various sundries regarding being true to herself, pressure, getting that magic back...] Melissa on post-kinda-partum songwriting: "I thought I'd be writing nursery rhymes....But I found I still have the places in me that I write from. I still have the passionate parts of me, the dark parts are still there, and I'm finding it's not as big a change as I thought it would be." [various offerings on working hard, lots of songwriting...] On the new album: "There's no real theme yet. I find these things usually develop on their own." When asked if she records her compositions, Melissa responds by saying she relies on the tunes staying in her head and explains: "That's the way I've always done it. If a melody doesn't stick with me, it must not be very strong." [prosaic paragraphs of topics: still getting airplay, grammy wins, famous rock star, requisite Springsteen comparison, touching sources of inspiration for songs...] When asked about legalizing same-sex marriage and the whole Hawai'i case, Melissa says she will be on the next plane but wonders if the "marriage will be legal on the mainland." Talking about test cases, she suggests that she might be a good one: "I figure, 'Why not me?' I have more resources than somebody else who might want to." [ expressions of new privacy concerns, no pics of Bailey please...] About hauling the family on tour "when the new album is released next year" [quoted from the article, not a direct quote from Melissa], Melissa says: "I think the thing that would eventually put her [Bailey] on an analyst's couch is *not* being with me. Kids are very adaptable to travel, and are perfectly comfortable being taken where you want to go, as long as the people who are significant to them are around." So folks, looks like a new tour and new album next year. The interview was conducted at Christmas 1997, so we're wondering what *next* year means.

She laughed at her new puppy Jenny finding out what snow who was experiencing snow for the very first time. What a joy to watch. And as the cardinals bright red colors stood out in the trees I thought of how Melissa must feel once again stepping out onto a stage again after being away so long. What a thrill it would be to sing new material and to bring out the old. How new hearts would soar to the music. How old hearts would soak in the much needed rythyms and be soothed by the grace of this womans songs. We have all waited patiently for the well to spring forth. We will find our spirits lifted, some will know of new snow, some will know of fine wine, some will stand like children in the rain and their thirst will be quenched. And this list will spring forth like new shoots in the garden and the chatter will sound like the tapping of keys in a news room as the magic appears once again and the humming will perk up my ears for I know that somewhere honey soon will flow. For those of you who need, go out and make snowangels for all too soon we grow old and forget to play. Stand watch that this doesn't happen and, Let the wonder never die.

I occasionally pick this up, and I recomend it *very* highly for anyone trying their hand at being a career musician or who is interested in excellent interviews with respected members of the music community. IMO, Melissa would be a great subject for an article in this magazine. I keep waiting and hoping that I'll see her on the cover of the next issue, but alas, I am always kept waiting. With her heart and mind turning back towards writing and recording a new album, perhaps she will appear soon. I am going to see if I can find a place to write this magazine and request that they make an effort to interview MLE. If anyone else is interested, drop me an email and I'll let you know where to write.

Hmm, let's see if I can be concise here. (It's a really squirilly issue, and I DON'T want to start any sort of religious war) There's 2 types of "tapes". Bootlegs (material produced and distributed in violation of copyright)[4] and what I call "tapes", which is live concert material produced in accordance with all copyrights, especially recordings of bands who allow taping for "Non-Commercial, Home-Use Only". MLE does NOT allow recording. Any "tapes" of MLE are "bootlegs" (Copyright violations) Where's the "Moral High Ground" here? It's the "Non-Commercial, Home-Use Only" part above. It's MY "litmus test" of correctness here. If someone's SELLING COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED RECORDINGS, *I* consider it wrong.[5] Of course, Bill Clinton recently signed the NET act into law, and that changes EVERYTHING. Apparently the concept of "fair use" has been tossed out, and there's implications in "trading" tapes[6] Now, I think that a VINE, might still be "legal"[7] (Everyone lines up, and the actual master tape is passed from person to person and each individual makes their own copy)[8] WHEW! I'm going now... peace Mike - ----- [1] Isn't it great that babylon-5 is on tv again, where you can find it without a divining rod and hunting dog[2] [2] TNT (Cable) M-F 7pm Eastern[3] [3] The FIFTH (nd last) season starts WEDNESDAY NITE at 10PM (again on TNT) [4] An entire discussion of what this means wouldn't fit here, sorry. [5] YMMV. [6] Briefly, The exchanged tape (new material) is construed as "profit". Civil penalties appear to exist. [7] Sort of.

He loves Melissa, and bootlegs, and he is into music so it is hard to find anything he doesn't already have. He took my youngest sister (Amy) to see Melissa years ago in a small bar or club in Indiana. Amy says they BOTH fell in love with her. They have a rock and roll room in their own house now, and I have contributed Melissa photos for her place on the wall! (So far it's just Melissa and Bruce, I think).

I must say that I was quite pleased with oldies(SueD, Patty W, Patti F, Harley, Lizz) who reared their head to reply to my post. Patty Wilcox(aka Lone Wrangler wrote): > Hey SueD, you can back me up on this one, but I'm thinking that "aisle > dance" was a well-maneuvered drill to divert attention while grabbing > forthe non-alcoholic beer Not fair, how was I to know that Germany actually brewed a non-alcoholic beer and that the menu didn't list it as non-alcoholic???? Although out of about 100 beers they had on the menu I did happen to order one of a non-alcoholic variety. Hey Renee do I get femme points for that? SueD Replied with: >ROTFLMAO! Shirl, Shirl, you gonna take this one lying down (with your Easy Bake >oven) I don't even want to recount that story!!!!!! So how many other listers have easy bake ovens lurking in their past??? Gosh, guess that means I was a femme before I even knew better. If it is any consolation to the butch crowd I REALLY wanted a Big Wheel instead.

Yes, yes, my stay on the left coast was all to brief but it turned out that I had forgot a certain Philly Pub Crawl alumni(Nov 96) and returned to win her heart. So Steph, was I successful???? Harley continued with: >I do hope you didn't collapse any curls in the process! Never fear, I have updated the curl and even added ANOTHER curling iron to my urban femme kit, still waiting on SueD to give it her UL seal of approval. :] I propose that we add a "White Girl Dancing" event to the upcoming FF.

Johnson Knight Ridder Newspapers It's back to business as usual for the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame = induction ceremonies. Monday night, the event will be back at the posh = Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. A scant eight months ago, the induction made its long-awaited debut at = the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. It was only the second non-New York = stop (Los Angeles was host in 1993), and Cleveland proved it was up to = the task. Delivered were ceremonies that included everyone from Michael = Jackson and the former Prince to the Bee Gees, Diana Ross and Crosby, = Stills & Nash. Monday's event -- the 13th -- heads back "home" with a $1,250 to $2,000 = price tag (tickets were a "reasonable" $300 in 1987, its second year). = There's no word on a future induction in Cleveland -- hometown of the = Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum -- or where the ceremony will take = place next year. This year, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Santana, the Mamas & the Papas, = Lloyd Price and Gene Vincent will be inducted. Also honored will be = Jelly Roll Morton in the early-influence category and songwriter Allen = Toussaint in the nonperformer category. Billy Joel, Earth, Wind & Fire, Solomon Burke, the Moonglows, Gene = Pitney, Del Shannon, Dusty Springfield, the Stooges and Joe Tex also = were nominated for induction but failed to make the cut. Does the = current list of inductees bring out your heartiest of yawns? It did the = same for me. It's not that the latest batch isn't deserving. They were selected by an = international collection of 800 or so voters (fellow artists, = music-industry executives past inductees and music journalists). You'll = find no complaints here regarding Fleetwood Mac, Santana, the Eagles, = the Mamas & the Papas or Jelly Roll Morton. Their contributions are = unquestionable. But collectively, these names just don't seem to possess = the makings of an exciting induction. Sure-fire interesting moments are = never guaranteed, but there doesn't even seem to be potential for them, = either -- unlike past years. Previous ceremonies have been filled with = classic moments. Remember the buzz in 1996 about whether Pink Floyd's Roger Waters would = show up and reconcile with his former comrades, or bury the hatchet in = David Gilmour's back? How about last year, when many wondered how surreal a Jackson 5 reunion = would be? (The answer: Very.) What about the potential spectacle of having Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono = on hand for the John Lennon induction in 1994? (He was wordy and lacked = passion; she was too brief.) Or questions over whether David Bowie would = show up to accept his award from Madonna in 1996? (He didn't, and = everyone seemed to know that except the organizers). Then there was the sight of the Grateful Dead in tuxedos with a = life-size cardboard cutout of Jerry Garcia in 1994, and the shock of the = Cream reunion performance in 1993, upstaging Bruce Springsteen's set = with Creedence Clearwater Revival. Or, how about Sly Stone's missing-in-action status in 1993? His former = band, the Family Stone, accepted the award, only to have him show up at = the last minute and refuse to be photographed with them. And, of course, = the jam sessions that close out the ceremonies are usually something to = shout about. Springsteen and Axl Rose filled in for McCartney and Elton John on "Come = Together" in 1994, and the result was pure magic. The same goes for = Melissa Etheridge doing Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" in 1995, and = James Taylor honoring two inductees at once, Joni Mitchell and CSN, when = he performed "Woodstock" last year. Somehow, wondering what the Eagles will perform during this year's jam = session, or pondering if Nicks will show up to accept her award with = Fleetwood Mac, doesn't carry the same interest (all of this year's = inductees are showing up, says Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation = executive director Suzan Evans). But what about this collaboration: Santana and Nicks doing "Black Magic = Woman"/"Gypsy Queen," or the appealing possible treatment of "Jingo" by = Santana? Of course, surprises are always promised at these induction ceremonies = - -- whether they actually materialize or not. Just who will be doing the = presenting is always a well-guarded secret. ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of etheridge-digest V1 #342 ******************************* From: etheridge-digest To: etheridge-digest@Majordomo.Esosoft.com Subject: etheridge-digest V1 #343 Date: January 22, 1998 4:01 AM etheridge-digest Thursday, January 22 1998 Volume 01 : Number 343 *etheridge* nmec: Babylon 5 ["Bonnie Phillips" ] *etheridge*FF ["Melissa Font (USF)" ] Re: *etheridge* YCSWID [Leanne ] *etheridge* follow-up on desired MLE interview [SHARON.A.ROUW@monsanto.co] *etheridge* YCSWID - Yearwoods' Greatest Hits [roger zender Subject: *etheridge* nmec: Babylon 5 Mike Lieman wrote: >Only" part above.

I think she did. I was there 2 nights of those performances, though I was not there the night it was recorded. I was there the night after and (I think) two nights before. Come to think of it, I've got some really great pictures. I'll take a look in the next few days for harmonica pictures. Of all the Melissa shows I've seen, those will always be my favorites.

This topic is even getting a lurker out of lurkdom as I would like to try to clarify the partly strange sound of this boot.... :-) Actually it was a radio broadcast of the show here in Germany which was supposed to be aired live. Due to some technical problems they couldn't do it live so that they recorded it to air it the next day. As I was so very lucky to experience Melissa live in Cologne I was very glad to be able to record the show the next day. When hearing the first sounds on the radio I was getting very upset due to its strange sound - especially the sound of John's guitar was terrible and as I was at the show I knew very well that all of them had played fantastic as always!! I called the radio station to complain about it and they told me that they knew about the problem and tried to work on it but it took some time...! They even wanted to repeat the broadcast on another announced date but unfortunately that never happened...! Hope this helps to explain the strange sound of the bootleg...

Yet not a note will be played nor a song sung, since the tour consists of about 350 of the magazine's covers, dating from the first issue in 1967 to the present day. The display will be complemented by memorabilia on loan from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, such as Madonna's bustier, U2's record label rejection letters and Pete Townshend's smashed guitar. "For Rolling Stone, it's like an image-builder," Rolling Stone founder and editor-in-chief Jann Wenner told Reuters. "We want to go out college campuses, to that audience, which is our primary audience, and get them excited about Rolling Stone, remind them of who we are and how strong the history is and also how current it is, at the same time." The exhibition, which has been in the planning for a year, will visit 20 colleges. It kicked off Jan. 20-22 at New York University, and next heads to Chicago's Loyola College (Jan. 27- 29) and UCLA in Los Angeles (Feb. 4-6). Its final stop is the University of California at San Diego on June 1-3. - -snip- After UCLA, the exhibition travels to UC Berkeley, Feb. 10-12; then University of Colorado, Feb. 18-20; Arizona State University, Feb. 24-26; University of Texas at Austin, March 3-5; Georgia Tech, March 10-12; University of Miami, March 17-19; Duke University, March 31-April 2; George Washington University, April 7-9; University of Pittsburgh, April 13-15; University of Maryland, April 21-23; Penn State, April 28-30; Northeastern University, May 4-6; Ohio State University, May 12-14; University of Minnesota, May 19-21; University of Washington, May 26-28; and finally UC San Diego. Reuters/Variety http://biz.yahoo.com/finance/980122/polygram_p_1.html Thursday January 22, 5:50 pm Eastern Time Polygram names Sigerson Chair of Island USA NEW YORK, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Polygram NV on Thursday said Davitt Sigerson has been named chairman of its Island Records USA unit, and John Barbis has been named its president. Sigerson and Barbis take the reigns of Island's U.S. record business following the ouster in November of Chris Blackwell, who founded Island in the early 1960s. Blackwell sold Island to Polygram in 1989 for $300 million, and ran the global Island Entertainment Group, which included both music and film operations. A Polygram spokeswoman said these appointments pertain only to the U.S. music operation. She declined to commment on the company's plans for the other global elements of Island. Sigerson was, until 1997, president and chief executive officer of EMI Group PLC's (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: EMI.L) now-defunct EMI Records. Barbis was president of PolyGram's A&M Associated Labels. Polygram also said that Rocket Records, previously part of A&M Associated Labels, will again become a part of Island's operations. Island Records is home to artists such as U2, Melissa Etheridge, Dru Hill, The Isley Brothers, and PJ Harvey. *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

The first round of bowling shirts was just comming out (no pun intended) and a CD was being created for ME's birthday. That was '96? Anyway, I'm happy to see the list still going strong! Any idea if the cd evercame to fruition? I'm glad I'm back and you all are still here! Anyone read the Biography by Joyce Luck? I'm not surprised that she did that! Whadda Fan!

There are a few issuses I would like to address and ask that all involved please take a minute to read. First off...I am basically having to start from scratch on this. I guess Mary is busy, as the requests I have made for her to forward her info have not been successful. On that note, I did however receive an email from her that maybe I was infringing on Joyces ideas and designs. It was NEVER my intention to do that, and since new designs were to be used, I felt this was ok, even tho we were still going with the purple bowling shirts..( which by the way arent easy to find!) She stated that "the list members felt very strongly about this too" and that is why the baseball or golf shirt idea came along. Considering I volunteered to take over this project with my also busy schedule ( a full time job, a part time job, 2 kids with all their activities,and a house to keep) I must say I was a little angry and hurt by this, as my only intent was to provide the shirts we all were looking forward to. However..If I am stepping on toes here, PLEASE dont hesitate to let me know either privatley or here on the list. Im tuff..I can take it! Joyce, I would especially like to hear from you! Ok..assuming we are proceeding ( I sure hope so!) the next problem is the LOGOS ..noone seems to be able to access the site...I have contacted the person who set it up, and again I have gotten no reply. So, I need to ask ALL WHO SUBMITTED LOGO IDEAS to PLEASE email them to me again. Im sorry..I know they are out there in Cyberspace somewhere..I was hoping to get them in with the other info as well. I want to get this GOING folks!!! I have received over 50 potential orders, sight unseen, so I know there are alot of other people who share my enthusiasm!!! LETS DO IT!!. I am in contact with several vendors, but until I get the logo designs, I am pretty much at a standstill. Any comments/opinons/flames will be taken into consideration, but I dont want to delay this any longer over "politics". Thanks so much!

Hello again, all! My morning had started off great thanks to Deanna! The original logo site is working, so for those of you who would like to see it is at: http.mygale.org/06/poune.niche/logo.htm All the ideas submitted are great! Unfortunitially, (and I have checked into this!) we are legally unable to use either the "official" ME logo, the key logo, or the Melissa Etheridge name, even tho noone is profiting from this venture. The least expensive quotes I received for the screen varied fron $25.00 to $150.00 depending on the design, colors, etc. Since I want to make this affordable for EVERYONE ( and many people have stated they have price limitations) I feel that LOGO#8...the one with MELISTERS written in the shape of a guitar meets ALL the requirements and unless I receive extreme objection ( more then 50% of those who have sent me intent to order) THIS IS THE ONE I WILL USE! I plan to add the list URL under the design, and the email address on the right front. Il leave the left front open, as some folks may want to get their name or screen name put there. ALSO...due to alot of reguests, I am beginning to look into GOLF AND BASEBALL styles!!!!! (Im in this up to my butt..may as well get into it up to my neck!) The design will be identical, and the shirts will again be purple, so those who may be interested in these styles NEED TO EMAIL ME ASAP with QUANITY AND SIZE info Those who already have contacted me for bowling shirts, but want to change to one of the other styles DO NOT NEED to. I will be posting an official order form very soon that will list all the options and you can change your order then. I will have firm prices very soon since I now have the logo. Ok...thats it for now folks! Off to the phones again to harass and haggle the vendors some more! (glad they dont have caller ID available for business lines!) Looking forward to hearing from all the golf and baseball people! Thanks!

In the last six months or so, my best friend has been dealing with some issues... she's not sure at this point if she's lesbian, or bisexual. We're from a small town, and she's going to a nice, white, middle-class college-- the sort where the mommies and daddies all pay for everything, and nobody deviates from the status quo. I guess they have a gay and lesbian group or office or something, but it's sadly lacking. She's been feeling really alone, and I don't know how to help her. I'm here for her, of course, and I listen. She doesn't have anybody to talk to who's really walked this walk, except the girl she's been seeing, and that's too awkward for her. I wonder if any of you would have suggestions on who she should seek out-- her religious questions make her leery of all clergy-- or maybe books or web sites or something. I know she's not alone, but I don't want to see her hurting, and my hetero experiences just don't give me the background to help. I appreciate your help. I'll let everyone get back to our discussions of our Melissa now!!

Others requested baseball shirts because they either didn't like bowling shirts, didn't like purple, or they already had one and wanted something different. The idea of the logos came up because many members wanted something unique to ID us as Melisters. I agreed with Joyce NOT to change the bowling shirts out of respect for her original idea and personally, I wanted one like the original. Rainbows were never in the plan because not everyone on the list is gay/lesbian, contrary to popular belief!!!! Not all gays/lesbians are "out"!!!! I am not being uncooperative, I thought the bowling shirts would remain as planned, and the baseball shirts with the new logos would remain my project for later in the spring when my life stabilized. I am now passing on all of the logos to Becky, and the project can be developed as she sees fit. Pardon me for not being superwoman! ... no hard feelings.

Ah....... A Bears favorite time. The bear steped out of the opening of the cave and sniffed the air. The aroma of fresh cut grass filled her senses and told her somewhere out there must be an old oak tree with a hollow place about six feet up. So off she went with to find her hearts desire. Just beyond the brook which ran through the woods, up the path she knew well and finally stood quietly listening to the wonderful sounds of bees at work. Quietly so as not to disturb the bees she reached in filled her paw with the nectar of the gods.......Honey!!!!!!!!! Then took out a small jar and filled it. She then placed it in cyberspace and sent it traveling to one and all on the list. And the wobbly note attached simply said: "Enjoy" Because as this old bear knows in her heart, everyone canuse a little smackeral now and then.

This is my first post so if I get it screwed up I'm really sorry. But I also was wondering the same thing. It sort of looked like she was at the begining and then I thought no she couldn't be lip-synching at the Super Bowl. That would be tacky. But I think she could have been.

I believe this is just a sound delay that is frequently evident in a large stadium performance. I have been in the Boston Garden watching someone perform the Star Spangled Banner live before a Celtics game and it looked like they were lip synching. And I have seen it on other television broadcasts of games too.

My friend and I disagree, but she says it > was more than obvious that Jewel was not really singing. Just wondered > if anyone else noticed. i didn't actually view the alleged lip-synching in question (my pal and i were picking up the pizza for the super bowl festivities), but when i returned, my pal's hubby told me that it was very obvious that jewel was lip-synching, because she was still waving to the crowd as her apparently pre-recorded voice began the song. this is certainly not the first time that the US national anthem has been pre-recorded. doesn't everyone remember the uproar caused when whitney houston also lip-synched TSSB during the super bowl during the gulf war (i believe that was the time she sang it)? i don't think it's really a big deal, as long as people are aware that it's the usual practice. let's face it, TSSB isn't the easiest of songs to sing, either lyrically or musically, and combined with the added pressure of singing before one of the largest television viewing audiences of the year, i don't blame anyone for pre-recording the song. still chuckling over joan baez's on-stage "chicken dance" during last night's IG show...;-) *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I guess I was being optimistic in thinking that they wouldn't have the the national anthem lip-synched and that it had to be a delay. I'm disappointed. The artist in me thinks it should have been live, but they at least could have made it look better, what with all the money and preparation that goes into the Super Bowl. Maybe somebody had it out for Jewel? :) Wendy (still trying to conjure up summer in NH) ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 15:30:56 -0500 From: Jenniffer Smith Subject: *etheridge* RE: NMEC-Jewel & Superbowl I accidentally sent this to Glenna only...maybe *one* of these days, I'll get the hang of mailing lists (hush up, y'all!)! :-) >>>> "Glenna Johnson" 01/27/98 01:32pm >>> writes: >>According to the radio announcers I heard yesterday, *all* performers >>(except for one -- I don't remember whom) were told to prerecord their >>songs, I'm coming out of the closet...as a Boyz 2 Men fan! :-) I tried to pay special attention to their portion of the program and unless they synched flawlessly (according to my own perception, of course), they appeared to actually be singing. Smokey Robinson, otoh, *definately* had a little 'help'! :-) >>apparently for the sake of acoustics (for the TV broadcast, no >>doubt). Makes sense for something like the SB. I wouldn't be nearly as pissed to see an artist lip synch for such an event as I would if I found out they were synching in a concert. I'm not even opposed to artists synching at televised awards shows. The half-time shows at the SB are, IMO, produced more for the TV audience than the actual game attendees. It would be much more enjoyable for the folks at home to hear acoustically sound, in-tune music rather than the 'tinny' sound and off-key wailing that is likely to be heard through a broadcast of a stadium event. And when it comes to televised music awards, I don't think that the attendees or those folks tuning in from afar really watch for the quality of the live performance. They want to hear fav songs and cheer on fav artists. Therefore, I think that it's a better idea to lip synch and put the emphasis on sound quality. Perhaps most people realize that attending an actual concert is the best avenue for live performance. jen, who is fighting a feeling of deja-vu wrt to this discussion...anybody remember? ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 13:54:51 -0700 (MST) From: "Renee Sweeney" Subject: RE: *etheridge* RE: NMEC-Jewel & Superbowl Ms. Jenniffer Smith said: >jen, who is fighting a feeling of deja-vu wrt to this discussion...anybody >remember?

The reverb in a modern sports stadium is a killer, you can't hear yourself as you're singing, you can't hear your music even if you're wearing a monitor headset, but you hear the reverb quite clearly, and it's really dsitracting. Mind you, I didn't see the game at all, but having seen my performance on tape (ouch!) I noticed that the video and audio didn't synch up at all, the video was definitely ahead of what I was hearing. Could've been the same for Jewel.

Henleys,T's Golf,Baseball,Bowling! Ok, folks....thanks to all your cooperation, I have nailed down the deals for the shirts. I am going with 4 different vendors to get us the best prices available! I am posting an ORDER FORM seperatly, but here are the details. The shirts will all be PURPLE with LOGO #8 in yellow gold ( to match the trim on the bowling shirts). If you cannot access the website (http://www.ping.be/~ping9791/logo/index.html) let me know. I've scanned it and will email it to you as a .JPG file. Under the logo will be the list URL. On the right front will be the email address for the list (per Glenna's request, we are using the "request" address). I was able to get up to size XXXL in all styles EXCEPT the full button baseball..sorry..I tried at least a dozen vendors to no avail. Ok..the prices: PURPLE T-SHIRT Heavyweight 50/50 S-XL $13.00 XXL $15.00 XXXL $17.00 PURPLE 2 BUTTON HENLEY 50/50 S-XL $23.00 XXL $27.00 XXXL $33.00 PURPLE BUTTON DOWN BASEBALL 50/50 S-XL $29.00 XXL $31.50 SORRY..XXXL NOT AVAILABLE :( PURPLE GOLF (Polo) 50/50 S-XL $23.00 XXL $26.00 XXXL $28.00 PURPLE BOWLING W/ GOLD TRIM 50/50 Cotton-Polytwill S-XL $32.50 XXL $36.50 XXXL$39.50 These prices include the basic shirt price, a $2.50 per shirt printing charge and a .50 per shirt screen charge. Tho the cost of the screens is $55.00, and I only have 73 potential orders, I am leaving that at an even .50 hoping to get at least a hundred orders with stragglers. If not, I'll eat the difference of a few cents per shirt. MY PLAN.. As orders are received, I will tabulate and address mailing envelopes. When the shirts arrive, I will take them to the printers. When they are finished, I have called friends who "owe me one" and will get an assemble line going to get them packaged for mailing. All and all, we are looking at approximatly 4 weeks from the day I place the order..which will be Februrary 20th. Whatever orders I receive by then will be filled. Therefore, I am asking that ALL ORDERS be postmarked by February 14th to get to me on time. International orders please allow extra time. I figure that should cover people who get paid weekly, bi-weekly, the 1st, 15th and 30th! Whhheeww....ok..thats it! I am posting the order form with instructions next! And tommorw..I am going to EAT on my lunch hour instead of spending it on the phone or running around! THANK YOU EVERYONE in advance for making this go smoothly!! And BIG BIG THANKS to SHARON for her great design, and NATHALIE for providing the website!!! I KNEW we could do it!!!!! I will repost both of these through the week. Any questions, email me!

I've no idea when I'll be back online, but I'm sure I'll get updated on the important (and possibly even the not-so-important ) stuff that's happening here on the list. I'd like to thank everyone from the list who sent me info on Vancouver, it's going to make my move a little easier, and I really appreciate it. Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm online again, but if it comes down to choosing between spending the money on setting up my 'puter, or making it to this years Fajita Fest, I'll choose the FF any day. It's nice to see that infamous Alex woman back on the list...although with her returning just as I'm leaving, people may start to think that we are, in fact, the same person. Ok, maybe not.

Well said rhondda. Mike will be fondly remembered. February is often a good time for music in the land of Oz. Shows by U2 (in a huge and horrible football stadium), and the IG's coming up.

And I was lucky enough to be there at that game that night...and had no idea she was gonna be there! Needless to say it was very moving for me and I was mesmorized by it! I couldn't help but watch her sing rather than looking at the flag that night! Her performance was very powerful and moving as always and was so obvious it was coming from her heart. Julie was there with her that night but no sign of Bailey around, but Julie left around the middle of the 1st quarter but Melissa stayed for the whole game.....which I don't remember much of cuz I was watching Melissa for the most part *smile* Take Care, Leanne ****************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@esosoft.com with: "unsubscribe etheridge" if you are on the bounce format "unsubscribe etheridge-digest" if you are on the digest format Official list web site: http://www.ecw.ca/mle/ ****************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 13:59:35 -0800 (PST) From: Rhondda Ashby Subject: *etheridge* MLE's and ellen's "coming out blues" JLUCKY7@aol.com wrote: > Now I'll have to dig up that radio interview and play it for you the next time > you come over for uh, pot roast and beer.

What'cha doing this weekend? ;-) well, dearie, as much as i'd love to come over for some more pot roast, beer, and ...stuff, i'm in LA this weekend, doing some of that research that i told you about ;-) and attending last night's "ellen" taping and IG show at the universal amphitheatre. speaking of last night's "ellen" taping, jib and i saw the *complete* version of MLE's and ellen's "ellen morgan's coming out blues song". in between setups for each scene, musical segments are often played on the studio monitors to entertain the audience. unfortunately, i was too caught up watching their performance to remember many of the lyrics, but if it's played at another taping (if i can manage to go to another one, that is), i'll try to be a bit more prepared. still wondering why people think it's cool to post long-ass non-MLE jokes to the list... *rhondda* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
