Good Lord Marvin - I can't even begin to compete with your Stones 
collection! That Guy guy is a great guy. Everyone needs friends like Guy! 
I'm listening to A Bigger Band now and loving it! "Look What the Cat 
Dragged In" has got me jumpin...great way to start the weekend. I CANNOT 
WAIT (oh, sorry for yelling) to see them on Oct. 8th. Don't get me 
started! Ya gotta love Keith's vocals on "Infamy" . . . my all time 
favorite is "Sympathy for the Devil" . . . it reminds me of cruising 
around town with Rosie, Sue, Debbie, Dinah (and whoever else we could fit 
in the car) singing "Oooh ooooooooh, Oooh ooooooooh, Oooh ooooooooh over 
and over again!

First and foremost here's hoping everyone, friends, family and loved ones 
are all safe in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (or Corrina as Laura 
Bush seems to insist - I wasn't going to Bush Bash, because with so much 
to choose from, where does one start? Too late, I already played the 
Corrina card).  Seriously, I hope all you OTHSers living in the 
uncomfortable wetness in the gulf states are high and dry. 

You know whom you are, talk among yourselves.

On a MUCH lighter note: this part is for Patti (the rest of you play along 
on your new iPod Nano).  Guy (remember me mentioning Guy a while back?), 
he's the guy in my office who's collecting all the Rolling Stones albums, 
well he just gave me some more CDs to download. (Side Note: Guy's also the 
one who schooled me on pronouncing Keith Richards' first name as Keef). My 
iPod compilation file now runs chronologically from 1964's UK release 
version of the album The Rolling Stones through the just released A Bigger 
Bang and I have to say I've truly come to appreciate Keef's singing, 
particularly on the song Happy, from 1972's Exile on Main Street and 
Before They Make Me Run, from 1978's Some Girls.  Patti, hand to G-d, 
there just aren't enough superlatives for the gem that is Before They Make 
Me Run! 

What do you know?  An old dog CAN learn new tricks.

I've managed to narrow my playlist down to a mere 134 (yes 134) songs (and 
still counting).  That's nearly nine hours of nothin' but Stones, baby. 
(What's that in dog years? Clark? Russ? Anyone?).  Some songs are 
duplicates so I may have a song in its original album version, a live 
concert recording, outtakes and/or original mono mixes (the early to mid 
60's were still very much the domain of mono recordings - because top 40 
AM radio wasn't broadcast in stereo - do the math).  I did mention that 
Guy found a lot of Russian pressings for most of the existing albums and 
these include a veritable treasure trove of "Bonus Tracks."  Bonus Tracks 
is where we scored all those alternate song versions.

I don't think I can even begin to make a list of my favorites; but if push 
came to shove, Satisfaction is definitely my all time #1 Stones song (no 
contest), followed by...  Before They Make Me Run, with my man Keef on 
lead vocals.  Hey, I believe I already said the song was a gem.

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that,*

PS/ I've mentioned iPods so much I have to pass along this great spoof.

After all is said and done,
I gotta move, I had my fun.
Let us walk before they make me run.
