Usenet Poetry Newsgroups FAQ (2007)

"...Welcome to this collection of information and resources relating to the
Usenet Newsgroup/Google Group:

off) poets, as well.
"...If you are new to the group, or need to check etiquette or protocol, go
straight to the FAQ. The Help section might ...er... help you, too. Good
online and offline reading recommendations can be found under Poetry. You
discover that another poster is better-informed than you. You smile
enigmatically, and scurry off to the Research page. You return, pretending
you knew that stuff all along.
The Help Files are a miscellaneous collection of resources deemed useful.

Great thread (thanks to Colin Ward! I'd post the links to /his/
excellent singing-songwriting, but the Mp3 files seem to have beeen
censored...), and great /promotional tools/ wallong in jealous rancor
and misinformation, which I'm glad to set the record straight on...
Here I am in the alley behind Rhino's, since you've shown such
interest... seeking "inspiration":

Being the host of the Rhino's open mic, I'm /required/ to be onstage
before and after every set.
Here's my rundowns on a couple of recent Thursdays, and those of us
who are familiar with open mics know that each night brings something
different, excerpted from emails to people who couldn't make it that
night:
"...Wish you could have met the three Jewish guys from New Jersey who
were only in town last night, or will be gone by the end of the
weekend or somesuch... they were at Fort Benning for some sort of
special training. They found one of the flyers I put in the hotels---
in fact, I advise all musicians with gigs to try this. People are in
town looking for action, and can simply take a taxi. These guys call
themselves Yuda, wore the beanie caps, long beards and hair, music
that reminded me of Santana or something--- very good." and last
week's blast:
"...Probably could have made it if it started at 9pm, but it just
couldn't work being gone at 10, it could have scewed the Rhino's show
up, since there was a musician all the way from Milledgeville (Justin
Hall) and one from LaGrange (Josh Horne). Had a cute Alanis Morrisette
type singer (Christian Hamilton) who played guitar, brought her up for
a set and then an encore with Ryan Rulon and Ty Clay, and Scroggins on
bass backing her on a few at thje end... had a dreadlocked standup
comic named Dick Fury and Israel, a poet-trumpet player who did an
intense jazzy set with Ryan, Ty and Scroggins also joining him. I read
from my Russian poetry book, basically "adapting" the words to suit
what I wanted to say, I think we have some of the new lyrics from
"Black & Blue Nite" there..."

> backup for Dockery?"
I've never heard you play anything, Uncle Dennis (though I'm very
familiar with Colin Ward's guitar playing... and singing!) do you have
an Mp3 of any of your performances?
But back to your question, the musicians play backup on my material
for various reasons, the most obvious is that they want to be a part
of the Grand Show:
"... assumed you were involved in the World Series, as well...
Wednesday went surprisingly good, Gene Woolfolk came through as a good
bandleader (Mallard claimed he was too sick to stay and play with me,
feeling an early winter flu bug), when I told Gene to approximate the
Dockery-Conley sound he began the set with some flute riff that
somehow did this, while Brent Lindley(guitar), Dan Davidson (bass)
Brad Strickland(drums) Israel (a military trumpet player) Ralph Frank
& Eileen D'esterno on congas gave me a lush Dockery-Conley by way of
Grateful Dead backdrop as I wrote new lyrics on the spot, a great
exercise that I wish had been recorded, but Mallard was gone taking
his camera, and Maxwell was pissed off hunkered over his
malfunctioning laptop and later said that he was so angry at the
laptop that he never even heard us... even though he was plugged in
there near the stage. Odd fellow, but brilliant when he's on top of
it..."

Your opinion is of no value, Dreckery. It remains of no value even
when you pretend that you're quoting it from the AAPC site.

Does Dreckery still infest alt.pagan or is he merely xposting to annoy

Actually, thanks to the out$tanding $ucce$$ of his Independent
Recording Company, he's been selling rebottled bulk (box) Wally-Wine
(Wal-Mart) as Willy-Wine.
(Don't ask where he gets the bottles, but it's why he spends so
much time behind bars.)
He's got yer basic Chateau Doublewide, a somewhat spindly Peanut
Noir, a NASCARbonnet that'll send chevies up your spine, and a
solid-hitting Pee-Wee Riesling.
Best part is that they go with either white meat (possum) or red
meat (squirrel).

Rick, kudos for all the important work you've been doing for the caise of
poetry. As I wrote yesterday, these should be included in the Usenet Poetry
FAQ thread... which I will do momentarily.
