From: John Redford <VLSI at DEC-MARLBORO> I heard some more verses of "Gimme that old time religion" on our local folk station, sung by Pete Seeger (I think). The ones I remember are: Let us pray to Zarathustra Let us pray just like we useta I'm a Zarathustra boosta It's good enough for me. Let us pray like the Egyptians Build pyramids to put our crypts in Fill our subways with inscriptions It's good enough for me. Let us pray just like the Druids Let us drink fermented fluids Go running naked through the woo-ads It's good enough for me. /jlr --------

Actually, I'm somewhat behind on this group, so pardon me if I don't dive right in and dump them out for fear that someone else has already done so...but I have quite a lot of verses to the Filk song "Real Old Time Religion." If anyone is interested, mail and I'll send them; or if enough people are interested, I'll post the song (24 verses.) I will, of course, attempt to contact the fellow who compiled the list that it came from, but...well, see below. The source is a Fan pub circa 1978 called "Filthy Pierre's Micro Filk", compiled by Erwin S. "Filthy Pierre" Strauss (then of) Lanham, Maryland. While the collection of some fifteen EXTREMELY small-print songs (equal to 30 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheets) is marked as copyrighted, I am quite certain that the songs themselves are in the public domain, as these songs are transcripts of fannish filksongs that have been sung at conventions for years.

From: Arturo Perez@MIT-EECS <UC.ART@MIT-EECS> I would love to receive a copy of as many songs as you have, if you don't mind swnding them. Thanx.
