Hello Ward.

Staying home and drinking beer costs way more than that, if one can drink at
least a case like I have been known to do in the hot summers.

 JB>> My email address is joebruchis@triparish.net.

I gave my email address so you could send me your email address, and in return
I will send you my mailing address. I should have explained that part better.
:-)

That's how normal deliveries of items and people happen where I live, anyway.

Well the fish are biting right now around our barrier islands in the Gulf of
Mexico. So if you like big trout, now is the time. (:

Now, many won't agree here, but I definitely can catch the James Brown vibe. I
have most of the songs he recorded in mp3 format as well.

Then there was the Buddy Guy copy named Jimi Hendrix. Since I first heard his
music, until he died, I thought JH's style was his own creation with the
exception of an influence by Bob Dylan (of all people).

I just learned recently, JH was copying a lot of Buddy Guy's sounds and stage
tricks. Buddy Guy was taught guitar by Muddy Waters. JH's creation, however,
was making music with feedback and a Wah Wah pedal, which some refer to as just
another stage trick. (-:

 WD> These are the tracks:

 WD> Billy Joel
 WD>    "Allentown" and "Good Night Saigon"

 WD> Bruce Springsteen
 WD>    "How can a poor man stand such times and live" and "We shall
 WD> overcome"

 WD> Clapton
 WD>    "Knocking on heaven's door"

[...]

 WD> Dixie Chicks
....cough (-:
 WD>     "Wide open spaces"

 WD> Yvonne Elliman
 WD>     "Can't find my way home"

Didn't Steve Winwood write that one?  Another of my favorites.  I have everyone
of his mp3's.

 WD> France Gall
 WD>     "Ella elle l'a" and "Il jouait le piano debout"

 WD> James Brown
 WD>     "Living in America" and "Sex Machine"

[...]
and all the others you wrote
[...]

Nice selections.

Well, my mp3's were recorded from 8 tracks. (-:
Here, if one owns music, he can make as many back-up copies as he wishes.

 WD> Why for free?

 WD> Easy, the DVD's do already include copyright dues here in Belgium, so
 WD> I can freely give them away and remain within the confines of the law
 WD> as long as I don't charge anything.

Not a question. (-:

 WD> This is good music and the entertainment industry will do anything in
 WD> its power not to distribute it. The well-being or protection of the
 WD> rights of the artists is the least of their worries.

 WD> The thing is that taking care of these gems is contrary to their
 WD> business interests. It just doesn't make them enough money, that's why
 WD> you're not supposed to hear these tunes or see these performances on
 WD> TV.

Now I'm really interested.

 WD> Especially for you, and who-ever wants to visit the link, this is John
 WD> Denver's "Annie's Song" in 512kbs:

 WD>    http://www.lighthouse-dcd.org/jd.wmv

 WD> Even at 200%, and even full-screen, the picture quality is still good.

 WD> This fall, it will have been 10 years ...

Thank you for your generosity, and no hurry. Now that I'm single and free
again, I may stop by there sometime as well.
