You know, I'd feel slightly sorry for Debbie for us taking a poke at her 
if she'd bothered to actually come and join this NG instead of doing a 
multiple drive-by post. Her music might even be half reasonable. It 
might even be on topic for this group, but sadly I've been put off 
listening.

It's one thing to have confidence in the quality of what you do,
another entirely to think that others will believe the publicity.
Life is too short to go chasing around all the MySpace references (and
others) I am pointed to.  There are too many superlatives used too
casually for them to mean much any more.  If they want to grab my
attention, they're going to have to come up with something a bit more
imaginative and substantial.

There are an awful lot of singer-songwriters out there (you can move
the word "awful" two to the right if you wish) and most are just
rehashing the same old ideas.  I need to know - without having to
expend too much effort - why this singer-songwriter is so better than
the others.

And if I hear the phrase "to die for", the cynicism meter is turned up
high straight away.

Well I did go and have a listen to see what we were collectively taking a 
pop at - I lasted 55 seconds.

Sound-wise think Cara Dillon without the purity of tone and range of 
expression, it's all a bit too earnest cocktail-lounge acoustic (oops, 
second time this week I've used that cliche, think I need a new one).

The phrase 'drive-by posting', however, I like :)

Wow, just took a look over there. I noticed Sandy Denny was even online!

Was it actually her, though ? Wasn't it just some fan ? Is it her fault
?

Okay, I haven't been paying close attention.

I think it was her agency, 'studio16a'.

Do keep up Richard, this stuff is vitally important you know, if we weren't 
too busy getting over-aerated about inappropriate or multiple postings we 
might actually find time to get out and do some playing & singing ourselves 
:)

Steve is right - I submitted this - as a friend and big fan of
Debbie's music - the authorship had nothing to do with Debbie -
I 'removed' the original post to correct a typo and unfortunately
the subject line appeared twice. (sob!)

The post appeared no less than *four* times, actually...  which is why 
it has attracted such comment.

Your problem is that you are using Googlegroups rather than a proper 
newsreader;  the latter would have made it rather more difficult for you 
to mess up in that way.

Did you remove her MySpace page too?  Looked and couldn't find it.
Typed her name into their searchbox and came up with:

Deb Soap Systems Protect-pure-lime

and another surnameless Debbie but she only has two friends and they
both look alive so that doesn't count.

I wanna talk to Sandy Denny, wahhhhh

I can't own up to inventing it. I think I stole it from common usage on 
rec.arts.sf.compsition (rasfc) which is the other cool place I hang out.

You must have kept your finger on the button. It appeared more than 
twice. Hence the sarcasm.

I know, I'm sorry. What did we ever do before we had computers ?

We still get "personal spam".  Only the other week this smartly
dressed man and his smartly dressed son knocked on our door and asked
me if I read the Bible ...

well, I had a thingie that connected to my TV and let me play ping pong 
- does that count?
And of course there's the two kids - but they're now adult computer 
nerds :-( And, oh yes, I think I read a book once ;^)

But, how does it sound ?

ah, there's the rub. If I tell you that it's an ancient balladeer clone 
- quite pretty - tobacco sunburst  - picked it up in Denmark Street 
(Hanks) some twenty years ago, that tends to position me somewhere out 
behind the coal shed ;^)

But it was just the job for taking to camp, it didn't sound too bad - 
and which of the kids would have dared to tell me any different ;^) 
Moving straight out of a warm hut to the campfire used to send it 
straight out of tune, but Elixirs seemed to largely cure that. Anyhow, 
the grandson fancies himself with it and that's half the battle ... I 
keep telling him that Clapton and Knopfler aren't getting any younger 
:-)
