[Glenn's Guide] 7 great music clips and an apology for the email snafu

Tue May 26 23:00:06 PDT 2009

NOTE:  BELOW ARE 7 LINKS TO GREAT MUSIC FILM CLIPS.

Hi friends,

It's a red-faced Glenn Howard here. My tech help says the email list  
is NOW FIXED and you won’t get any more random email.  Something  
didn’t get clicked right when it was set up leading to this snafu.

We've rearranged the list so that only I can send messages to it so  
there will be no more messages or replies on it from anybody else.

I startled some of you by inviting you onto my new Glenn's Picks  
mailing list and nowhere did it reveal my full name. I contacted many  
of you in the last few months that this was in the works. This is the  
first mailing list I've ever had to deal with, and I now have a very  
high-techie helping to administer it.

The first set of links was not supposed to go out for another week,  
and there was to be a small test run to make sure it works.

My friend Clif Cox offered to host the list on his "eugeneweb.com"  
server; that's why the messages come from there instead of my usual  
address.

I've been working for a month on creating the list and on reviewing  
musical videos on YouTube (don’t try this at home-I can do it faster  
since I already know what exists). You wouldn't believe how much  
dreck I've waded through, but among the swine I've found some pearls-  
clips from old movies, news reels, and documentaries containing great  
music of the sort that I collect on records and then share with  
musicians and friends like you.

The concept is that I'll send maybe one short message out every week  
or two, containing links to five or ten
brilliant old musical clips.  Anyone can join the list and start  
getting those links and anyone can leave the list at anytime.

As an example, here are my music video picks for this week:

Mississippi John Hurt  “You Got to Walk this Lonesome Valley”   1965

Bill “Bojangles” Robinson with spasm band    1943

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ngmlTEdfCA

Boswell Sisters  “Crazy People”    1932

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynwtYRDP124

Django Reinhart & Stephanne Grappelly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaGZrq5S3QA

Silvana Mangano with Flo Sandon's & Natalino Otto "El negro zumbon"  
but is called “Anna”  on the original 78.    1951

Virginia O’Brien “Did I Get Stinkin’ at the Club Savoy  1942

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQLXjYRjg0o

Louis Jordan & the Timpany Five   “Beware”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owqLjzTu3SA

More styles of music like Modern Jazz, Country, 40s-60s Rock ‘n Roll,  
Latin, and all kinds of more obscure artists will be featured in  
future mailings. Here’s an easy way to get an education in musical  
history.

Now that you’ve seen what you’ll be getting,

IF YOU STILL WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE THEN READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

go to this URL:

http://eugeneweb.com/mailman/listinfo/glennspicks

It takes you to a page full of crud.  Fill out the "unsubscribe" box  
toward the bottom of the page, and click "unsubscribe” or edit  
options". On the next page, click "Yes, I really want to unsubscribe"  
and press the "Unsubscribe" button.  You'll be off the list!

I'm sorry to have annoyed you, and I hope the cool music links will  
make up for it.  Next time you see me, tell me I'm an old fogy and  
not fit to run a 21st-century mailing list. I guess I’m more at the  
level of Aztechnology-about 500+ years behind the cutting edge.

Later,

P. S. BELOW IS ADVICE FROM MY TECHIE ON GETTING OFF EMAIL LISTS IN  
GENERAL.

  (*): By the way, if you want to get off an Internet mailing list,  
the best thing to do is to follow the "unsubscribe" or "Mailing list  
information" link at the bottom of each message -- like at the bottom  
of this one.  (In general it never helps things to reply to the whole  
list complaining about being on the list, or asking to be removed;  
and it often annoys other people.)

Unfortunately, spammers often send fake mailing list messages with  
fake unsubscribe instructions, and if you follow those instructions,  
it alerts the spammer that there's
somebody listening at your email address, and they respond by sending  
you more spam forever.  In that case, the best thing to do is to  
ignore the message totally and hope the spammer eventually goes away.
