Time's winged chariot drawing near,
The Brandy Snifters have tightened up our 20-year plan and are

prestigious Lak-O-Tone label. The songs:

I GOT A BULLDOG
GEORGIA MAN

If that seems too much to pay for a song list like that, I'm also
willing to sell you a CD for $10 plus $5 shipping and handling. Order
now before the reviews are published.

might it be discounted somewhat?

I'd like to order this when you finish it, but can you change some songs? a few
i don't like.

Since the CD is in distribution (albeit limited to non-existent) I
suggest Lyle list the songs under consideration for our Golden Jubilee
CD and let everyone vote up or down. For every delete please pick a tune
you'd like to hear the BSers do. Hillbilly Heaven will not be accepted.
Out of curiosity(which killed or severely debilitated many a cat) what
would you have deleted and correspondingly what would you add?
Suggesting there's too many already is not an option. Finally let's hear
from a few more folks on old time tunes you don't like. They just might
give us ideas for the Brandy Snifters Play Your Most Despised Songs.
Heat up the burner, Lyle.

Real commercial possibilities here. The music industry having found
that folks don't care about buying material they're supposed to like,
the moguls of entertainment can now be expected to turn to selling
material that the public does not like. The Brandy Snifters (we trust
this is not a reference to the physiques of the musicians) are on the
cutting edge of this impending trend.
I find that there are songs that have been composed, and songs that have
been decomposed. A CD of such material is a great boon to the world,
since one may buy it, but then not listen to it, thereby saving
substantial time that can then be spent on more socially uplifting
activities such as watching TV talk shows. The cultural ascendency of
Minnesota is affirmed once more.

If you do touch it, will it be less or more expensive if you washed
your hands first?

deal, and we'll need some seed money for the worst of the worst project.
Heck Jon's notes are always worth half the price of the CD anyway. Sorry
for selling you short, Jon.

OK Lyle, I ordered the CD. Please do not ship more than one copy. : )

That sounds a little bit like Richard Nixon's "You won't have me to
kick around any more" tirade. In the interests of truth in
advertising, I should say that buying this CD won't help stop the war
in Iraq, and it won't further the cause of fighting AIDS. It will,
however, make members of a neglected old-time quintet feel more loved,
and surely more love in the world can't hurt ...
I'm not sure that a popular vote is the best way to pick the Worst Of
The Worst. You can't trust popular taste, even for trash. Now, advice
from connoisseurs -- that's a whole 'nother thing.

Oh, I dunno. A few years ago All Things Considered had listeners vote on the
worst song they'd ever heard. They picked "Macarthur Park". Since that was
my vote too, I considered that an enlightened election. (Of course, that was
before I had heard "Oj, Oj, Staro".)

Kings of Krap, or maybe The Minstrels of Mediocrity (that may be a
little too close to home). How about the Barons of Bsville? We could
just call it Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel by the .......

Actually, Dr. Demento has had this market cornered for a number of
years. We'd have to find some material that's spectacularly awful, and
by the mystical transformation that often seems to happen with art,
anything that bad would be good, which again would subvert our purpose

Naw...I can send you some stuff that's so bad, it stays bad. Probably most
of us can.
Peace,
