28 Jul 09 - 02:19 PM (#2688937) Subject: RE: Ran Tan Band CD From: Vic Smith It's a lovely album. I received a (hand coloured) cassette of it many years ago. I can't remember the year but it was just before a Sidmouth Festival and I listened extra carefully as I was calling a dance with them at that festival. |

29 Jul 09 - 07:06 AM (#2689489) Subject: RE: Ran Tan Band CD From: GUEST,Martin Ellison Hi sfmans (how do you pronounce that?) We thought we'd just hand out the cheese first and see who nibbles. We're saving Rainy Day for a rainy day. |

30 Jul 09 - 03:55 AM (#2690160) Subject: RE: Ran Tan Band CD From: SteveMansfield Hi sfmans (how do you pronounce that?) Er, um, ess-eff-manz I suppose - it was my very first email address on a Netscape email server that only allowed 8-character IDs, and it's just followed me around ever since ... people also have trouble with my other online ID and domain name (lesession / www.lesession.co.uk), so I guess I just have a rather self-defeating knack for choosing aliases that people can't pronounce! We thought we'd just hand out the cheese first and see who nibbles. We're saving Rainy Day for a rainy day. Eek eek! |
