Hi all!

Thanks to Matt and Jim for reporting those gigs.
I hope that you dutifully report only from the goodness
of your hearts, and not for any malicious taunting factors...

As most of you know, there is a companion World Wide Web site
to this mailing list (http://),
which contains an embarrassingly large amount of JBC trivia.

My endless tinkering with it's arrangement has finally gravitated
towards a form I am happy with, and I need some help to fill
information gaps that exist.

Specifically... By my estimation, there are approximately 130
JBC-written songs that have been committed to plastic.

A few of us have been working on transcribing lyrics, of which
approximately half have been completed.

Here are the remaining 70-or-so tunes that could use a critical listen:

* almost brooklyn, betty page, big bad thing, big old wind,
* bubonic plague, buffalo shame, burglar of love, caroline wheeler,
* chinatown, city of night, cowgirl fever, death dentist,
* devil is my friend, down the drain, drink, forever,
* gloop jiving, grooving in the bus lane, hairbrush and tank, hard,
* holiday, honey, i need meat, it has to be you, jb theme, jb v pm,
* lost in france, mind like a playgroup, monkeyface, my desert,
* nightmare being, olof palme, poisoned by food, president reagan,
* rain, rebecca wants her bike back, red pets, sex engine, shes a yo yo,
* beautiful snow-white hair, south america, still and all,
* swingin pygmies, the new world, thing, vodka girls,
* walk with the devil, water, whats the matter boy,
* the word i was looking for

Any takers? There are several family favorites in there..
(hell, if everyone pitched in, the list could be knocked off pretty quickly).
