Thanks for acknowledgement, Bluesman. I was hoping things were like that.
Still, AngelBravo caught me with help from another Bloodliner caught my
error in time.
After all, U2 has something to offer, too.... and they did have the good
sense to choose one of John's songs. Some credit would have been great, but
at least their taste in music was in the right place! KShep87309

SIERRA TANGO is a take on SIERRA HOTEL
as in Airforce alphabet code.
The song that they called Sierra Tango,
would be a code ID for the piece.

Wow! I didn't expect to be innundated with concerned posts about my
innocent little post about the Bloodlines badges, so I'll post all the
particulars here for those of you inquiring about my upcoming move. (Now
that we've established ourselves as more of a family than a computer
mailing list and we can post as much personal stuff as we want ;-)
My dear husband, Ted, has finally agreed to retire (after 33 years on the
government payroll) and we will be moving the family to Northern California
(I have California bloodlines in my heart too, you know... I was born and
raised in Santa Barbara County). T minus 28 days. (I can hear the seconds
ticking)
The kids have asked to go back to school (we homeschooled this year for a
change of pace) and there's a good Waldorf school in Santa Rosa. We are
excited about getting back closer to family and friends
Let me assure you that there will be no disruption of Bloodlines service
while we're moving. I have my trusty PowerBook (laptop) and I'll be able to
administer the list from the road. Also, you have my trusty pal Ron (aka
ClackClack and soon-to-be neighbor of mine) as backup. He'll take care of
things if we get distracted at Angel Delgadillos barbershop or Cadillac
Ranch.
But seriously, I appreciate all the kind inquiries and concern. I had
wanted to wait to make this announcement until we hit the big 150, but I'll
do it now. We have 148 member on the list as of tonight and I want to thank
all of you for making this such a great experience! I think we've all
pretty much decided that as die-hard Stewartistas, we're willing to put up
with a high volume of traffic until the lazy mailing list manager can
figure out how to provide a digest version. (I promise I'll look into it
after we move!)
Oh yeah, I've started a little "Stewartista Gallery" on the web site, where
you can see pics of some of our members taken at various Stewart/Darwin's
Army venues. Please feel free to send any that you have to me and I'll get
them up ASAP (which isn't very). You can see RoyFritz, Margie, Bonecrusher
and Phil and others.

Subj: I'm Done Hiding Out
Date: 97-05-03
From: alleycat@cruzio.com
To all new Bloodliners, welcome, we're glad you joined us. I enjoyed
reading all of your intros.
To the rest of you: greetings. I've been laying low the past few days
while the controversy over what constitutes a "proper" post was raging.
Having been guilty of being very personal with Kathleen when she was
feeling down (and having been notified of that transgression by
Michelle) I was reluctant to engage in the argument. I personally don't
care what folks write. A post that bores me can be easily skimmed and
deleted. What takes up my time are the posts I find interesting, the
ones I read over a few times, the ones I respond to. But I understand
the desire to keep the mailing list more manageble and I have been
writing ONLY direct messages the last few days. I've found that private
posts have their own special rewards. I thank my corespondents: the kind
Kathleen, my Capitola friend Georgia, Ron (who is off on a camping
expediton this weekend and I miss him) and Bluesy. If you 'liners think
the Bluesman is eloquent through the list, try posting him privately--I
guarantee you won't be disappointed. So I vote for some kind of
compromise: I don't think we should be censored but I also highly
recommend that those of you who haven't tried private messages, do so.
But not too many....we want to have some idea of what's going on among
you...... after all, we are kind of nosy.

In regards to Cathrine's letter regarding what's proper as an online message
and Bluesy's right on the money reply. There is too little compassion and
human contact in this media world we live in. It's all interesting to me and
if it's not I can delete it with the push of a button.
This is a little internet tribe sending signals through the glass. Messages
to friends about things between the two involved could be done with a screen
name. When sending messages to someone you don't really know can be more
discreetly public on bloodlines.
I don't like being policed. I don't like being told what to do. We had a days
few of message overload a few weeks ago and I know Michelle was concerned
about grid lock.
It seems to me we all seem to sense the right thing to do and make
adjustments. I know Michelle doesn't want to come off like the heavy with
this thing, but I'm afraid that's what has happened.
This is our site and a pretty terrific bunch of nuts you are. Press on there
are lights on the horizon.

I printed this one from John. Though it is perfect, I would add:
We are still at the birth of this new technology. We can use it reproduce
the same old authoritarian power relations that organize us now; or we can
use it to connect in open, contingent, unpredictable ways. This is the
choice between Old Testament Law and New Testament agape; between closed
and open systems; between commodity and gift economies; between law and
compassion. "Netiquette" can be a rigid set of rules that silences and
proscribes, or it can be the simple (compassionate) act of wondering how
your post will impact the community *before* you send it. [For instance, I
could have spared all of you this self-indulgence; but then you would not
have had to wonder what the Bible and systems analysis have to do with one
another.] The choice, as it has always been, is ours.
What most amazes me about this "little tribe" is that I don't think there
is anyone here who isn't well-intended--whatever mistakes and misteps we
might make. That's a rarity among electronic lists, and indeed among any
group of people. We are compassionate when we recognize that in one
another. It makes me feel like "sweet dreams will come."

Subj: Untitled (Banjo for sale)
Date: 97-05-03
From: Angelbravo@aol.com
I am definitely interested. Is it in good shape? How much use has it had?
It's had a lot of use. I'm a banjo player.
It's in good enough shape for me to hang on to it for many years. I's not
like new. There are no new Vegas.
Derring is making the long neck banjos now and I think they go for
around$2400. To me this one sounds better and has history. The one I played
during the Trio days was appraised at $15,000. There are offers coming in
like crazy.
I'm going to sell it to the highest bidder.
I played this banjo at the World Folk Music Concert in DC in Jan. It looked
and sounded great. Nuff said. It's up to you guys.
Since they aren't made anymore, the real price is what people want to pay.
May the bids begin

To the Bloodliners -
I'm not a banjo player, nor do I have a lot of money...but for those who
are thinking about this...I saw the WFMA concert...and yes, the banjo
looks great and sounds better (especially in the hands of Mr. Stewart)
Its worth it!

Michelle brought us all together, she is definitely NOT the heavy. Does
she have any idea how much we appreciate her efforts to keep this list
operating? As I wrote in my post, we do understand that she is simply
trying to keep the mail load manageble for all members. I personally
felt very shy about sending private messages to cyber friends whom I've
never met, but since she said it was the correct thing to do, I tried it
and was amazed at how much fun it turned out to be.
I also wrote something about responding to the posts that interest me
and I want to add that I could not possibly do that in all cases.
Bloodliners: many of your posts touch me, many make me laugh, but I have
time to respond to only a few (the cyberworld is surprizingly time
consuming).

Which sounds prohibitive. But which also gives me what I consider a
brilliant idea (although I allow for the possibility that John might
consider it something less than that).
My idea: a 1997 re-recording of ``Signals through the Glass'' and ``Fire in
the Wind'' onto a single CD.
I assume what Polygram and Capitol own are the original tapes, the artwork,
maybe the title.
And as much as I'd love to have these originals on CD, that desire would be
sated considerably by John revisiting these classics today. This needn't
even be a big time-intensive studio project. John could simply record a
live set of the best from ``Signals'' and ``Fire'' in one concert date,
just as the CD ``Bandera'' is a live version of the studio ``Bandera''
tape. (That concert date could even be our long-delayed Bloodliners house
concert, which I believe there were plans to record anyway ... but that's
just a detail.)
There are at least three obvious advantages to this:
1.) It gives fans this great music in the CD format.
2.) It makes this classic music permanent, just at the time when the
original vinyl is getting mighty scratchy and the cassettes are getting
mighty worn.
3.) John has often indicated that he believes his voice and his control of
it has matured well beyond where it was earlier in his career. So this
would be his mulligan; a chance to reinterpret and maybe even improve these
classic songs. (And anyone doubting this need only listen to John's ``Fire
in the Wind'' on ``Neon Video II'' -- absolutely scorching; better even
than the brilliant original of 25 years ago. Ditto ``The Last Hurrah.'')
I suspect Bloodliners and Stewart fans everywhere would fork over $25 for
such a CD so quickly that our hands would appear to blur. Any seconds?

Subj: Unlurking
Date: 97-05-03
From: pplumlee@osprey.unf.edu (Patrick Plumlee)
Hello to All,
I have been lurking out here for several months now, but have never
properly introduced myself. As a long-time (and I do mean long time) JS
fan, I was thrilled to discover, through the good offices of Michelle,
the Bloodlines server.
My story is really your story. If I chose here and there from all of you
who have introduced yourself, I could write my exact "Stewart Biography"
without adding a single thing. So, the short version is, 50 -something,
big KT fan back in the early 60's, Vietnam veteran, saw "California
Bloodlines" in the store just before I went overseas, and it was the
first thing I bought when I got back a year later. On to graduate
school, and now a professor of political science in Florida. Folk music
is a hobby for me, and I have been playing banjo and guitar for a number
of years. I have a Pete Seeger model Vega banjo that I dearly love, and
although cannot play it as well as John, I always mentally put on a
striped shirt when I pick it up. I do some JS material now, and would
like to add more as I become more proficient.
I have all of John's recordings, except a couple of the very latest
items, including an original copy of the first Cumberland Three album.
To try to convey to anyone who is unfamiliar with John's music what it
has meant to me would clearly be impossible. When I try, most people are
just puzzled. But I don't have to make the case with this
group--all of you clearly already know. I am in agreement all the tributes I
have read here, and any eloquence that I might add has already been
outdone. So, I can only add to what has already been said: If I had a
voice for words and music to express what I believe, where I have been,
and what I have seen, that voice would be John Stewart's. For so many of
us, he is our collective voice.
I have seen John perform live three times, each time in a different
mode, and have never been disappointed. To my regret, I live in part of
the world in which John does not perform very often, so I haven't seen
him for a long time. But I know he is there, and that is what counts.
My measure of the man: a few years ago, John appeared on the syndicated
show "Nashville Now" on TTN. For those of you not familiar with this,
this a talk show type format where the guests perform and then chat with
the host, whose name I don't recall at this second. This show is aimed
at a very traditional country audience. I found out that John was going
to appear on this show, so I watched it (taped it, too). So here we have
this country audience and Ralph Emery (just remembered the
name) introducing John. Cut to the man and what song does he pick to win
over this audience. Just the one you thought--"Botswana." As near as I
could tell
basically the audience was sort of stunned. After the song, Ralph says
to John: "I guess that was some kind of protest song." Duh.
I have spent too much work time already. Just want all of you to know I
have been here, and will be staying for the duration. Thanks for sharing
all of your thoughts, memories, and ongoing lives. As I already have
with Merle, I hope that we can continue to share some of the chords, etc.
to John's tunes. Those of us who are not gifted with the best ear
sometimes find it difficult to transcribe from the recordings. I am
looking forward to hearing that tribute tape. Finally, John's
comments are always a reason for coming back. I consider it
remarkable, and another measure of the man, that he listens and
participates along with all of us who treasure what he has done. Not
exactly a common behavior among those who have achieved some measure of fame.
Thanks for listening.

Subj: Cody, etc.
Date: 97-05-03
From: BKalben@msn.com (Barbara Kalben)
All right, I've been lurking long enough, so here's my 2 cents worth. This
is regarding others who have done John Stewart songs.
In Hawaii in the early 1970's there was a bar in Waikiki called the Crow's
Nest where groups performed Kinston Trio and John Stewart songs. (The Crow's
Nest doesn't exist anymore, but I understand there is a group of Crow's Nest
people who still get together somewhere around the country each year for a
reunion. Are there any Crow's Nesters lurking?)
Since seeing all the Internet stuff on JS and reading Bloodlines messages, I
dug around in my basement and found cassette tapes of two of those groups
doing JS songs.
The first is of a group called Roots, consisting of Russ Donnelly and Whit
Shingle, doing July, You're a Woman. Here is Russ's intro: "This a love
song from John Stewart - or at least it's kind of horny. That's OK 'cause John
gets horny, just like everybody here. Like you and me. Just like me." Has
anyone else ever heard this as an intro to July? JS, are you offended?
After Russ heard the Seattle, Mister intro, he used it instead, being careful to
say in California, since Coors wasn't available in Hawaii then.
The other is a group called Brandywine, consisting of Nick Hyle, Dave Hefner
and his wife Wendy. Nick and I were at Wendy's and Dave's apartment one
night when someone said they were working up an arrangement of a song they
wanted to perform. There in the living room the three of them did Cody just for me,
the first time I had ever heard it. It gave me goosebumps - it was fabulous.
They said they were still working on the arrangement, but it was so
phenomenal, I thought I died and gone to heaven. I found a cassette
recording I have of them doing Cody. Although the recording isn't the best,
it still is really outstanding. (But nothing will ever surpass that very private
concert in Wendy's and Dave's living room.)
I would be willing to share any of these recordings if there is an easy way.
Isn't there a way to have audio on the Internet?
Do any of these names sound familiar? JS, did you know any of these people?
I understand Nick and his wife now produce the current Kingston Trio CDs.
Also, is there a Kingston Trio mailing list like Bloodlines out there?
Thanks for letting me relive my collage days. Is it an accident that the
first man I ever dated named John turned out to be the love of my live and is
now my husband?

Nicely put, John. Having been in the administrative game myself, I know
what Michelle is going through. She wants the system to work for
everyone, and for systems to work, there have to be some rules--even if
they sometimes inconvenient and hamper our individualism. But my sense
of this group is that everyone is more or less on the same wave length
and can self police if policing there needs to be. If Michelle runs up
the warning flag, we shouldn't blame her for being insensitive but rather
monitor what we are doing a bit more closely and help the problem solve
itself.
This, BTW, is really a cool list. The best one I have ever encountered.

Hi to all,
Just a comment about the introduction to July you
mentioned. I'm pretty sure Nick Reynolds used to use that exact
introduction for the Trio's version of Dylan's "Baby, You've Been On My
Mind". i.e. ........."Bobby gets horny just like you and me. Just like
me!" It was funny
25 years ago, and it would be my guess that JS would NOT be offended.
The intro is on the "Once Upon a Time" album.

And a pleasant good morning to you, Patrick. Your test message got thru,
at least to me here in Florida. I am a fellow-floridian (newly arrived) and am
pleased to find someone in this state who is knowledge and caring
about JS and his music. I, too, am a long-time fan who has been touched
many times in my complicated life by John's influence. I've only seen him
perform three times, too. None of the times were recent and I'd really like to
see him come to Fl. I have been listening to "Buddy..." and I can't make out
John's verse, either. I never noticed that before, but now you've made me
curious. Hope some of the others can shed some light.
Nice to be in touch with you, Marianne
