Subject: Command confirmation request (342238)
To: Richard Repp
X-Lsv-Listid: BLUES-L
Your command:
SUBSCRIBE BLUES-L Richard Repp
has been received. You must now reply to this message (as explained below)
to complete your subscription. The purpose of this confirmation procedure is
to check that the address LISTSERV is about to add to the list for your
subscription is reachable. This is a typical procedure for high-volume lists
and all new subscribers are subjected to it - you are not being singled out.
Every effort has been made to make this verification as simple and painless
as possible. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
With most mail programs, you can confirm the command by simply using the
"reply" function, without including the original text, and typing "ok"
(without the quotes) as the text of your message. Just "ok" - do not retype
the command or anything else. If this does not work, you will receive an
error message. In this case, send "ok 342238" instead, using the same
procedure with which you sent the command you are now asked to confirm. In
other words, with most mail programs you will only need to type "ok", but if
you are unlucky you may have to retype the confirmation code as well.
Finally, your command will be automatically cancelled if you do not confirm
it within 48h. After that time, you must start over and resend the command
to get a new confirmation code. If necessary, wait until you know you will
be able to reply in time. If on the other hand you change your mind or
realize you made a mistake when typing the command, you do not need to do
anything - it will expire on its own in 48h and, if you discard this
message, there is no risk of confirming it by accident.

Your subscription to the BLUES-L list (Blues Music List) has been accepted.
Please save this message for future reference, especially if you are not
familiar with LISTSERV. This might look like a waste of disk space now, but in
6 months you will be glad you saved this information when you realize that you
cannot remember what are the lists you are subscribed to, or what is the
command to leave the list to avoid filling up your mailbox while you are on
vacations. In fact, you should create a new mail folder for subscription
confirmation messages like this one, and for the "welcome messages" from the
list owners that you are will occasionally receive after subscribing to a new
list.
To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send
mail to BLUES-L@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU. This is called "sending mail to the list",
because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the
people who have subscribed. This address (BLUES-L@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU) is also
called the "list address". You must never try to send any command to that
address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All
commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU). It is very important to understand the difference
between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is
like a FAX number, and the list address is like a normal phone line. If you
make your FAX call someone's regular phone number by mistake, it will be an
unpleasant experience for him but you will probably be excused the first time.
If you do it regularly, however, he will probably get upset and send you a
nasty complaint. It is the same with mailing lists, with the difference that
you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, so a lot more
people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF BLUES-L" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU). You can also tell
LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the
list. If you do not trust the system, send a "SET BLUES-L REPRO" command and
LISTSERV will send you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that
the message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while
you may find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program
does not tell you that the message is from you when it informs you that new
mail has arrived from BLUES-L. If you send a "SET BLUES-L ACK NOREPRO" command,
LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which will look
different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know
immediately that this is an acknowledgement you can read later. Finally, you
can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET BLUES-L NOACK NOREPRO".
Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options have been
set to "REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more information
about subscription options, send a "QUERY BLUES-L" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU).
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list
of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX BLUES-L" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU). You can then order
these files with a "GET BLUES-L LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database
search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the
latter.
Please note that it is presently possible for anybody to determine that you are
signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW" command, which returns
the e-mail address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not want your
name to be visible, just issue a "SET BLUES-L CONCEAL" command.
More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV reference
card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU).

I have had mixed feelings about Gatemouth Brown based on his recorded
materials. Last night, however, I had the opportunity to see him perform
with his band in a small honky-tonk venue (i.e., the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que)
in Syracuse. It was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time--
including those that I've seen by BB, Buddy, & others. If you get a
chance to see Gatemouth in this kind of setting, don't miss it.

I cannot forsee the day when commercial radio will give us
what public radio does. Our multi-format public radio station plays
blues, jazz, international music, classical including medieval
music, folk, hip-hip, rap, alternative rock, avant-garde, experimental
and electronic music, black gospel, in addition to public affairs
programming such special news and music shows aimed at the Hispanic,
south Asian, Hmong,and other communities. We aim at *audiences*, not
an audience per se.
Commercial radio rarely gives air play even to B.B.King, whose
name is a household word. Why not? Surely they never would to artists
from the contemporary Magic Slim to the late Skip James. I maintain
that if it were not for public radio, there never would have been a
blues revival in the late eighties to the present nor a Blues-l.

Subject: Has anyone seen Buddy Guy recently? What is he playing?
Comments: To: blues-l@us2RMC.zko.dec.com

To: Multiple recipients of list BLUES-L
If anyone out there has been to a Buddy Guy gig within the past couple
of months, I'd be interested in hearing what songs he's playing these
days. Is he playing essentially the same show now as he's played the
last few years?
He usually seems to start out with some fast numbers, then plays
"Slippin' In" to get the audience involved, then he wastes about 10
minutes saying "I can play John Lee Hooker, SRV, and EC," followed by
snatches of "Boogie Chillun," and "Voodoo Chile," culminating with his
playing "Sunshine of Your Love" with a drum stick and with a towel. A
few numbers after that he launches into "Knock on Wood" for his
now-traditional walking solo through the audience.
I remember being dismayed after he came out with "Damn Right I've
Got the Blues" that he didn't play anything off that album except "Mustang
Sally." I've also never heard him play anything off "Feels Like Rain"
(this may be a blessing, actually), and I'm wondering whether he plays
anything from "Slippin' In" besides the title track.
I've been organizing weekly trips out to Boston area clubs to hear
live music and I'm considering suggesting that we go out to see Buddy
(he's probably my favorite little artist). However, he can be very
frustrating in concert when he plays about 30 seconds of a song, then
switches to another, and *never* plays any of his signature blues like
"First Time I Met the Blues," "I Smell a Rat," "Five Long Years," "Let
Me Love You, Baby," or "Mary Had a Little Lamb." I'm hesitant to send
a mail message out to my fellow encouraging them to spend $20.00 to
see one of the last living legends of the blues, only to watch Buddy
fool around for an hour and a half and play maybe two incomplete blues
songs during the whole show. On the other hand, if he's playing the
blues these days, it could be the best show they'll *ever* see. I saw
him at Legends one time where he did stick to the blues, and I've
never seen anything like *that* show before or since.
I know that Buddy is allegedly the heir apparent to B.B. King as
reigning bluesman, but I don't know how this will happen unless he
changes his concerts. Having seen them both several times, I'd say
that Buddy has higher highs than B.B., but that B.B. is someone whose
concerts you can recommend without reservation. B.B's shows might not
change much from year to year, but B.B. always shows up ready to play
and you can be assured you're going to hear "Sweet Little Angel,"
"Every Day I Have the Blues," "How Blue Can You Get," and "The Thrill
is Gone" in their entirety.
Anyway, I've droned on way too long here. Please send me e-mail if
you've seen one of Buddy's recent shows and you have a general idea of
what he played (his own blues or half-finished showboating, guitar
hero dreck).
Thanks!
