Thread Name: BS: or not BS? A suggestion
Subject: RE: BS: or not BS? A suugestion
Getting back to the point, my suggestion to use as a prefix here, "News," assumes (since this IS a blues & traditional music site), that it means, "News about blues/trad music,"--too long for a prefix. Also, it says a real word- I have to stop and think, even, about what FYI means! And by the way, the word "news" is used in many, many songs: "Good news! Chariot's a-comin!" and, "What's the news? what's the news, O my bold shelmalir, with y'r long-barrelled guns o'er the sea?" and, "Give ye heed to what we say. News! News!"

Well, this is getting tacky- a very non-musical comment, so I'll hush. Jean
