Hey folks - any one have a current address or email for Thomas Bailey?
I've been selling his Brilliancy CD on my web site, and my
corresponence to him has been returned. I had a New York city address
for him, but it doesn't seem to be current.

Please have him contact me at
david*AT*lynchgraphics*DOT*com
(symbols in my email address are spelled out so the bots don't find me)

Thanks!

David, I like that Greenberry Leonard handle. i wonder if you got the
gmail invite I sent you. It's a small world on the internet. I would
like to use Legbo as a handle but I don't know if that is the correct
way to spell it. It may be Legbow. He was the devil that a fiddler met
at the crossroads, but I think the lesson of the story is to use legato
bow. Bob Huck

I'm pretty sure the being at the crossroads is the Haitian loa (god)
Legba, who, among other things, is who you have to go through to get to
the other loas. All I know about Voudon I got from 2 books: Maya
Deren's "Divine Horsemen" and Zora Neale Hurston's "Tell My Horse." To
me, Legba is clearly related to Hermes, the ancient god of the
crossroads, but I don't suppose that relationship could be traced.

If Legba got modified to Legbo between Haiti and Mississippi, I don't
think it matters that much how you spell it. But if you spell it
"Legbow" and use your interpretation about legato as good advice,
how're you gonna play for square dances?

Another point: The being at the crossroads sells you the ability to
make music, so maybe Legbow would be a more appropriate moniker for a
music teacher?

Yeah, I wish I could remember where I read about Legbow. The legend got
tranferred to the guitar after it became popular. Thanks for the info.
By the way, do you know Thomas Bailey?

As Riley Puckett said about Napoleon Boneyparte, "No, I never was
acquainted with him. Who is he? Where's he at?"

Yes - this reminds us once again of the strange story of the members of
Napoleon's army who got turned around during the retreat from Russia,
and ended up retreating east instead of west. After an epic journey
they finally fetched up in New Orleans, where most of them became chefs.
While forgotten by most people, their tale has been memorialized in
the Southern Appalachians, as "Bonaparte Crossing the Rockies."

Cool, I always wondered where that tune came from. Thanks.

I had read that Bonapartes Retreat was formed on a tune that a piper
played after the battle of Waterloo. Here's a link to the MIDI files at
Hetzlers Fakebook. http://hetzler.homestead.com/music_2.html

Because I know Thomas, and am concerned. Did we as a group ever find him?

But it took a lot of searching. We had to ask Legbo, Riley Puckett, and
Napoleon Boneyparte.

I don't think I got it. I use a spam filtering service, so if you
emailed me, you should have received a response with a link to go to on
the web where you verify yourself. It takes a few seconds and you only
need to do it once.

I've e-ed you before and got through after going through the spam
process. sent a card at Christmas with no problem and didn't recirve a
notice after I sent the gmail invite. I've sent them as well as the
Christmas card to everybody in my address book. Oh yeah, I also sent a
link to Hetzlers Fakebook, although you probably already knew about
that. One thing I've noticed is that some web mail servers, like Yahoo,
put gmail invites directly into the spam folder. I'll try again.I have
a bunch of invites.
