Evaporated:
F Major: This song's already done by Skip, as in Allums. Just help for
the piano people.
The right hand plays the Middle C and the F a fourth above, and the bass
hand picks out F, A , Bb C. Oh, and the bridge is Bb and C, if anyone
needs it.

Subject: No soundboard so...
In a message dated 97-10-27 11:23:08 EST, you write:
<< Also, if a sound board patch is impossible, what ways do you record
stealth? Coz I've done a couple of gigs straight onto analogue tape from a
mic that was clipped onto my belt ring thing and the quality sux
basically!!! It's not muffled, but it's usually echoey and is generally
crappy. Is there some sort of special mic that I should buy or something
for stealth recording?
HELP!!! PLEASE!!! :) >>
Well. It has been announced numerous times that BFF does not allow
soundboard access. Most bands don't. Also, it is quite a controversy right
now about wether they allow any type of taping. So, the only way to go is
stealth. Some really good mics for this can be found at
http://www.panix.com/~moskowit
There prices are cheap. The most you will spend is about 300$ and you could
even get something for about 200$. This is just mics though. But, you can
use a pretty crappy tape unit if you have good mics. So check 'em out.
Thanx.

Subject: Get off people's backs
If you don't like a post, ignore it. Rather than complain about the
umpteenth time Brick has been discussed, shut it. They're talking about
Ben Folds Five, you're not. So rather than listen to your crap, we'd
prefer to listen to other people's queries.
I'm a Brit, and having to listen to you guys discuss American tour
dates, and Australian shows(actually some reviews are quite good), can
be boring, and a waste of time, but that's what we're here to do. And
please, I think Pluvius "please don't hurt me" Dope has had enough
abuse.

Subject: Cigarette
Cigarette:
Bb major, maybe G minor, but I really can't tell.
Hmmm. Quaint song, not really for guitar. Best on piano.
Verse:
Bb Bb (add e) Cm7 Eb Bb
Bb F7 Cm Eb
Arch keystone:Cm7(Eb6) Eb7(Gm6) Cm7(Eb6) Eb7(Gm6)
Eb (cm) Cm7 Cm6
BACK to Verse.
I know it's difficult to figure out. I'll find some way of representing
the notes in text, and fill you in. Or I could write an essay. E-mail me
with any specific questions, comments, queries, etc.

Subject: Steven's Last Night In Town
STEVEN'S LAST NIGHT IN TOWN:
A major:
Hahaaaa! I've finally slayed the fucker. This one was killing me till I
found the Karoke button on my Laser Disc Player. Stumped for so long in
one of my favourite keys as well… Honestly.
Verse, intro, basis for solo, I think:
F#m7 Fdim6 F#m7 Fdim6
A6 A(trans.) F#m7 E7(trans.) F#m (notes-C#DC#)E
NOTES: C#DE BC#D C#DE F# E
CHORDS:Fdim6 F#m7 Fdim6 F#-7
Chorus: D A E A
Bm F#m7 E A
(or Fdim6)
D A D A E A(6)
F#m7 Fdim6 F#m7 Fdim6 F#m-7 Fdim6 E
Other stuff.
The solo goes on a bit, then you get the piano run:
B Bb B C# D C#D C# D E F# G# F#C#C#
BAA-BAA: F# E D E F# F E D E F F#(harmony down to C#)
End run: B Bb B DC#D FEF G# G G# B Bb B DC#D E A
Goin' up, obviously.
That's all for now, more to come.

What I said about Dope getting enough abuse by now? I've changed my mind
( just read his last post). You can stuff him alive if you like, I'll
provide the chestnuts.

Ok forget about whatever the hell I said about Dope getting enough
abuse-I've changed my mind (I just read his last post). Go ahead, stuff
him alive:I'll provide the chestnuts.

P.S. You're not talkin' to me are you? Ballet grrl. I'm English but I
understand me fine and dandy.
P.P.s. Good concert review whoever-good touch with the black t-shirt!
Shame you missed the encore though.
