Subject: Is it French?
Hey--
In "Redneck Past," or maybe "Regrets" (I can't remember which), there are a
couple of lines in French. At least I think it's French. Anyway, i thought
this was the BF5 discussion list, and I've seen no mention of this. Are we
slipping? Come on, now, Armcharians!
Anyone know what these mystery lines mean (and ARE they French?)?
Tired of reading translations,
Brad

Jeez, lighten up. I thought the post was funny. You might ake some of your
own advice and skip the stuff YOU don't want to read. I suppose I'll get
flamed for my last post, too. Oh well.

Hello!
Just thought I'd mention a little cute thing to everybody. I never post to
this list, cause I don't really have anything interesting to say. BUt I
went to a dance at school last night, and got the DJ to play Army. I was
kinda scared that the hip hop troops would blow it off and sit down, but the
song had this wierd, magical effect and everybody danced with so much more
enthusiasm than they had had before. It was kinda cool...
Also...is anyone going to see Ben Folds Five at the 91 Xfest in San Diego on
June 12th? If so...what other bands are gonna be there? I always go to the
LA shows, but they just happen to be in LA on my Graduation Ceremony
day...can't miss that. So now I take the long trip to San Diego, and I want
to know if I'll be thouroughly entertained by bands other than BF5. If you
could help me out, than feel free to e-mail me personally.

Subject: BFF Songbook!
Hellooooo. I'm Quinnie...little sixteen year old girl from around
philadelphia (yup i was there on the 20th of apriL) who happens to like Ben
FOlds Five and completely worships Ben Folds for his piano playing
ability....wheee! I just had some questions about the piano songbook for
WAEA...i've only looked at it once in depth, and didn't purchase it because i
didn't have enough cash with me...tee hee. ANYWAY! my point is this:
i would like to know, from you pianists out there, how it measures up to the
actual music Ben Folds plays.
is it more watered down...i mean...obviously it cant totally match cuz some
of his stuff is just crazy improv-sounding stuff.
BLAH BLAH BLAH i'm not good at writng these posts, its my first one...i'm
scared...dno't hate me.
all i REALLY want to know is:
DO YOU LIKE IT?
that's all. thanks. any comments, responses, would be greatly appreciated.
you can email just me if you'd like! golly!

Hey fellow fivers...
I read about the marriage of Ben and Frally....its truly happy news!! So if
you dont mind if I plagiarize a bit (Bens the one with talent..not me )
TO BEN AND FRALLY
We have been thinking alot today-
feeling joy for your marriage to Frally-
Knowing you"ve realized your most valuable possesion-
by allowing the past secrets to turn to smoke-
and embracing new roots-
Because its your life-
and you can decorate it as you like-
Beneath your paint and armour-
In your eyes the truth still shines-
Ben and Frally
Ben and Frally
And so in closing-
from your friends and your fans-
We wish for you two the best-
now and always-
and in closing we say-
Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby-
The world has more for you-
Goodnight, goodnight!!
Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams.
Hope this expresses the way we all feel!!
See ya in St. Louis......Robin D (the older fan...LOL) Ü
