I am coming out of lurking for a few moments because of something I saw in
this morning's paper. Right there in the sports section was a big write up
on the upcoming Tennessee vs. Fresno State game Saturday. Now you may say
what does this have to do with NanciNet? Right there in the middle of the
article was several paragraphs on parties on houseboats close to the
Tennessee Stadium. And who was very much mentioned? But nanciNet's own Shawn
Kimbro.
Shawn your reputation travels all the way out here to California.
Now back to lurking.

Oh sh*t..... don't believe any of that stuff. I'm sure
it's another Shawn Kimbro! Besides, we tried to
convince that reporter we were the guys the Village
People wrote "In The Navy" about and I even put on
high heels to prove it, but he wouldn't bite. (And, he
never would take a beer!!)

Dear nanciNet,
I have to admit that I've been shocked by these recent discussions and
revelations. Shocked- at the naivete that many folks here seem to have.
One thing I learned as an Internet old-timer (I was sending email back in
the 1980s) still holds even more so true today, something I had drummed in
to my head during my first "netiquette" trainings early on: Assume that ANY
and EVERY message that you ever post to a mailing list or listserv or email
group or the equivalent is going to be captured, archived and forever
searchable for the world to see. Period. It's safe to assume that anything
you post to any mailing list is going to be the equivalent of printing those
exact same words in a Letter to the Editor of a major newspaper. I have to
admit to having my breath taken by the sheer volume of folks who some how
never got that message. This part of the Internet is a public place, folks,
and in public there is no expectation of privacy. If you are concerned, use
a pseudonym, don't use your work email address to post messages to a
non-work-related forum, send private emails back and forth to a group of
people to discuss Nanci, or do whatever you need to deal with it. But
lists/groups are a public space, always have been, and I've never batted an
eyelash at the thought it would be anything but.
Now, for some actual Nanci-related news! Jimmy Buffett's current
commercial smash hit singing with Alan Jackson has cemented his
already-existing plans for his next album to be a straight-ahead country
affair titled "Conchy Tonk." In an interview published in the Boston Globe
last week and aired on his Radio Margaritaville online radio station,
Buffett explained that he plans to record a duet with Nanci for new disk.
(Is yet another version of "Gulf Coast Highway" in the offing?)

Great news about Buffett and Nanci. I actually like
the song with Alan Jackson. I think it's one of the
better in the current crop of hybrid duets ptresently
on the Country charts. On the other hand, I used to
think much more highly of Willie Nelson before hearing
"Beer For My Horses." Can it get any worse?? He
makes up for it somewhat in the duet with Dwight
Yoakum, "If Teardrops Were Diamonds." I really like
that song and I think Population Me is one of Dwight's
best albums.
Back to the Googlin' issue.... I guess I screw around
on the mailing lists as much as anyone. I figure if I
throw out enough off-the-wall stuff, no one will
really know what's real and what's B.S. My personality
in real life is somewhat different! Same thing with
other press stuff unless it's work related or
something. There may be people (in Fresno?) who might
believe Tennessee tailgaters eat Carp and ski naked
off the tops of houseboats, but hopefully, no one that
matters really would!

Subject: NN: Donate info

I would just like to say that anyone wishing to know anything of a personal
nature about Donate should email me. Rather than rely on her reasonably
tame ramblings on the nancinet I will be able to supply the real "stuff".
This of course will be a pay as you go service. As a first offering I would
like to offer several hours of out takes from various recording sessions
where ms. D swears in many of the languages in which she is fluent. Then
there is a moment from a recent recording when she asks me to...well, you
are going to have to pay for that!
Actually seriously speaking...it is a little scary to know all that stuff is
out there. I googled myself and saw all the gibberish I've posted over the
years but I also found a link to an article from Just Jazz Guitar where they
describe me as "visionary" so I instantly changed my mind about this whole
subject.
By the way, I have since been keeping up on my meds and the visions are not
so frequent anymore.
Remember...Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't octopuses!

I vehemently protest and resent your labeling of my most meaningful insights
into life as "tame ramblings".
