Really-From: ed@das.llnl.gov (Edward Suranyi) I've been trying for days to reply to your message, Ant, but I just can't seem to use UUNET mail. I always get an "unknown mailer" message. (And I've tried the methods you told me about, Jon.) Is there another mail path to you? This goes for everybody who wants me to reply through UUNET. As far as I know, I can't. So here's the message. Hi, Ant! Thanks for your kind words about my postings to gaffa. Sarah McLachlan has only put out one album: _Touch_. However, their are two different versions: the original Canadian, and the US. The US version has a different cover, one more song than the Canadian, and some of its tracks are mixed slightly differently. I think I remember reading that Sarah M. was studying to be an opera singer before turning to pop music, and that can plainly be heard in some of the songs, which sound almost like arias or masses. Other songs are more pop-oriented, but, like our dear Kate, she never crosses over into truly top-forty material. I mentioned in my posting that she's like a cross between Enya and Sinead O'Connor. She also reminds me quite a bit of Jane Siberry. I really don't know what else to say; it's hard for me to actually describe music. I hope this satisfies you. Thanks again for writing me.

Not only that, she studied classical guitar and uses it to create the swirling patterns in her music. She played a steel 12-string at the free show I saw at Toronto's Harbourfront, worn up high enough to get the right position for thumb-square-behind-the-neck while standing. Great show; the second encore was a reggae cover of Led Zeppelin's "D'Yer Maker". (-; (serious!) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Je me souviens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gary L.
