Conference mr1pst::music

    Hi,
    
    	I've been a Michael Franks fan for 20 years since I heard his
    Sleeping Gypsy album. His rendition of the I Love Lucy theme on the
    Dragonfly Summer album is terrific (not to mention the title cut, and the
    songs "The Dream" and "How I Remember You").
    	A great thing about his albums is that he employs some fabulous
    musicians and from listening to his albums I've discovered some players
    who are now my favorites (such as guitarist Larry Carlton).
    	He also does a lot of tunes with a Brazilian influence and I'm
    partial to that.
    
    						Thom... 

    I was introduced to Michael Franks vocals by my hairdresser.  Still
    smile when I think of "Popsicle Toes"....

    
    Wonderful!  (;^)  I was just introduced to his music earlier this year,
    and now possess all but one of his CDs.  My favorites are "Dragonfly 
    Summer" and "Blue Pacific", with "Tiger In The Rain" and "Passionfruit"
    running a close second.  
    
    Yes, the innuendo smile...just like the one Michael has in his picture 
    on the back of "One Bad Habit".  (;^>
    
    His latest CD came out only several weeks ago entitled, "Abandoned
    Garden", which is dedicated to his late friend Antonio Carlos Jobim. 
    Some wonderful songs on that CD...my favorite is, "Must Be Paradise".
    The songs he writes in Antonio's memory really convey the deep feelings
    he had for him.

    Previous reply deleted by mod because lyrics may not
    be posted in this conference... see conference guidelines.
    

    
    Sorry!  I just had seen other lyrics posted and assumed...I guess they
    were only partial ones, and they are allowed?
    
    Cindy

    
    In theory, no... I just didn't catch them... :-)

    That's just the rules here... there are other conferences which
    allow lyrics to be posted. Not very consistent, I know, but it's
    been the policy here for years since lyrics are copyrighted
    material. Enforcing the policy keeps Digital from getting sued...
    in theory at least.

    	A couple lines here and there are allowed, though ... if you
    	want to post 1/2 a verse, or a whole verse, or something like
    	that.  Is there a defined "max" for this?
    

    
    Re.7
    
    Ah, OK...and I did find the conference policy...cleverly hidden in note
    15.0.  (;^)

    The "only partial lyrics" is not DEC policy.  It's right out
    of the copyright law.

>     	Is there a defined "max" for this?

  I seem to recall a max, defined somewhere, of about 35 words...
  Applies to things like movie ads quoting critics, as well.
