I have commercial tapes of Run Rig "Play Gaelic" and "Clannad in Concert" that are about 2 inches away from just being tossed in the trash...

Anybody here want them?

First affirmative post here get's 'em... but will have to PM me their address...

I'd like to give 'em to someone who's gonna listen to 'em...

CH,

Yes I DO know you, that's why I spoke up. I can see it now. Somebody gives you one of them and BOOM! In the dumper! So should this occur-- ME ME ME!!!!

Keep your eye out. I need more tunes to learn. We have church EVERY WEEK! And we present at least two new ones every week. I already taught them all the ones I know!

Even YOU can help. *G*G*

If anybody handed me a gospel tape, I'm pretty sure it'd immediatly burst into flames or melt or turn into Queen's Greatest Hits or something...

WYSIWYG, a dealer in Glasgow, this week offered me a pile of gospel books because he knows I buy music books. It was a pile of soft backs, Billy Graham, Gospel song book vol this and that, he was offering them to me at 50 pence each. I could probably get the lot for a couple of pounds, are you interested, is it worth the postage to you from Scotland?
love, john.

Dita (John), that sounds great, thanks for thinking of me-- but I have no idea about the exchange rate or how to transfer funds internationally. So how would we do this? What would be involved? Someone told me that international postage is awful-- but I would sure love to see these! Shall we move the discussion to PMs? Or email me?

motormice@hotmail.com

And CH-- if someone hands you one, and it does as you describe, send it to me and I'll bet it will turn back into usable tape again. Miracles, and all that. *G*

Just remember:

"Care for a Gospel tape, Clinton?"

"Sure! Susan wants it, I'll accept it for her and send it along right away!"

I predict this will actually occur in the next month. Measure the flames and PM me your results. *G*

I love Queen!

How about a compilation of your garbage can candidates; "Hammond's Hell, Vol.1" or "Damned By Hammond." :-)

Actually, that'd probably be the first track on my "Garbage Collection"!

That Clannad in Concert recording is actually very hard to get hold of; the CD has to be special ordered at great expense, usually.

WYSIWYG - I just remembered that someone gave me a recording of Dion singing spirituals many years ago. If I didn't trash it, do you want it? Sorry to put it quite that way.

Yeah, Peg. That's the one I wanted... I only have one Clannad CD or tape, because it's the only one that showed up in the hock shop. *sigh*

Subject: RE: BS: Anybody want these tapes?
From: Clinton Hammond

sorry folks.. but my assessment of that Clannad in Concert tape was that it was garbage! Rare or not...

Good to know there are others out there who like it and will give it a good home...

Hesser, just had a though... I'm sure I could run you off a copy of the C in C before I send it to MT...

Want I should do that??

;-)

These aren't 8-tracks, are they? I can't play 8-tracks any more.

Subject: RE: BS: Anybody want these tapes?
From: Clinton Hammond

No they're not 8-tracks... I've never owned an 8-track...

I'm sitting here listening to C in C and I've figured out what I don't like about it... COnstant tunes, and singing in Gaelic bore me to tears... after the first 2, they all sound the same...

I guess I'm just too much a balladeer...

thanks for that window into your taste in music; we shall all bear it in mind!

Well dang! Have I missed out on any chance of getting maybe a copy of these tapes, Clinton? Puh-leeze?!?

LOL!!

O.k... so a copy for Aine, a copy for hesser...

Isn't that part of "Paradise by the Dashboard light"?

"I'll give my addy in the mooo-ooo-o-oorning"

;-)

Good thing the fest is gonna get rained out tonight eh... Give me a chance to get this taping done...

And well, peg... I'm sure you probably do plenty of other stuff that I would like... but fiddle tunes, gaelic singing and bag pipes all bored me that way... after 2 they all sound the same...

Unless Oliver Schroer is playing the fiddle, but he's not trad at all...

There's nothing more subjective than taste eh...
