Mac sound files of Happy Rhodes

[barger@ils.nwu.edu (Jorn Barger)]

Uhhhhhh... last JULY I offered to digitize some snippets of Warpaint for
Macintosh and email them around.  I got requests from:

tj@CS.UCLA.EDU (Tom Johnson),
Michael Graham <graham@ug.cs.dal.ca>,
jjwcmp@ultb.isc.rit.edu (Jeff Wasilko),
jessica <jessica@athos.rutgers.edu>,
Steve Fagg <S.L.Fagg@stl.stc.co.uk> (i bet this address is old?),
jerome@ee.fit.edu (Jerome Chan)

A number of eventualities have delayed my response until now, but now they
are ready to go.  They are huge-- three samples total a meg and a half. 
They have been compressed with Compactor and then BinHexed and split into
files under 100k each.  The bits I've got are:

"Lay me down, encompass me with lilacs..."
"I think I need to find the key// The woman just stared while the cat lay
dying (huh!)// You cannot defy their will, but I'd rather die than kill"
(one lo-o-o-o-ong mutha)
"I want to go back to the trees where my art was born"

For those just joining us, here's the scoop:

Happy Rhodes is an unsigned new artist from Albany NY who is a Katefan and
whose music has a special appeal for many Katefans.  Last spring there was
a brouhaha about the amount of discussion Happy was stirring up on gaffa,
so that traffic was channelled off into a mailing list that remains quite
active (and, strangely, has easily as much traffic about other (non-Kate,
non-Happy) artists as gaffa itself).  You can send a request to subscribe
