rec.poesy.terriblyserious.awful - I'm going to have to start reading
that group. That's where I need to be.
I find that the usual postings on this list so, well, *relevant* to
old-time music, and who needs that? Who needs relevance when there are
so many ridiculous irrelevancies to waste half of one's life on? (Oh
my, now I've done it. I can only assume that I will be assailed for
ending a sentence with a preposition).
