Sullivan Hall oct 16-09 audio recording up on IA

According to Moonalice legend, baseball is a tribal pastime. Like the tribe, baseball started on farms and spread from there. Baseball has four bases. Moonalice has five. Baseball has bats. Moonalice has bongs. Baseball has the best grass in sports. Moonalice herb is different, but has many good qualities. Baseball has the Yankees. Moonalice has Sullivan Hall. According to Moonalice legend, there remains some controversy about the etymology of the word "Manhattan." Some say it comes from the Lenape word for “island of many hills." Others point to the Delaware Indian words for “place where everyone got inebriated.” Wikipedia claims that the Delaware version has been debunked, but our Moonlike to English dictionary says otherwise. Obviously, the editors of Wikipedia have not spent enough time in New York City to make a call on this. Start spreading the news. No matter where the name Manhattan came from, the Delaware had it right. Manhattan is inebriation at its best. We recommend you start right here, right now.
According to Wikipedia, New York County includes Mahattan, plus seven other islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall's Island, Ward's Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island, and U Thant Island; U Thant Island? Really?
According to Moonalice legend, a lot of cool things have happened on October 16. A couple of weird things, too.

The Philadelphia concert review

According to Moonalice legend, today is International Standards Day. The tribe has mixed feelings about this. We believe it’s important to have special days to celebrate everything. At the same time, we know we will never live up to International Standards. We’re Moonalice. Our women are great, but we men are more like Mr. Magoo. We are well intentioned, but unambitious, clumsy, and very buzzed.
According to Moonalice legend, on this day in 1656 the state of Massachusetts declared Quakers to be politically subversive. I’m not sure what it meant to be called politically subversive in 1656 – particularly in Massachusetts – but we suspect it is something to be proud of.
According to Moonalice legend, the tribe is being built on Facebook, Twitter, and the web. Thank you to John Smaron - @pizzajohn07 – for being a major chief on the net.
According to Moonalice legend, Winnie the Pooh was published on this day in 1926. Happy Birthday to John Wooden, who is 99.

Barry Sless
edit: http://rhumba.com/alaska/cowboy_jazz.html
Cowboy Jazz existed in a variety of forms during its seven-year history. The band pictured above is likely the band that logged the most miles, though in fairness, it is possible an earlier configuration featuring drummer Charlie Crane holds that distinction.
Taken by Road Manager Nick Sharp, outside Washington DC's legendary rock'n'roll haunt Desperados, this photo became the back photo for the group's second LP, Swing Boogie.
Personnel (L-R) are:
Tony DeFontes (bass), Denise Carlson (fiddle, vocals), Kate Bennett (vocals, rhythm guitar), Barry Sless (lead and steel guitars), Brian Alpert (drums), Deanna Bogart (piano, saxophone, vocals).

Cowboy Jazz's "That's What We Like About the West" is a cross between traditional pop vocal groups, western swing and country-rock -- a unique and heady brew of roots music that never stays in one place for too long. The group runs through a number of standards -- including country songs like "Cow-Cow Boogie" and "Hey Good Lookin'" and pop songs like "Sophisticated Mind" -- as well as originals that are in the same vein. It's great fun that sounds unlike anything in country and roots music. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
here is a link to these two great records....yes those old black round things with a hole in the center http://rs116.rapidshare.com/files/77958719/Cowboy_Jazz.rar
