BADASS! huuuuuuuuuuuuugggge congrats! sounds like she's a beaut, too! here's my tip: use finger-ease (or other similar product) to lube the strings before playing... your fingertips will thank you! and like everyone said, practice practice. start with a couple of simple songs you like, the kind with just a few basic chords. slow at first, then work on it til you can play right along with them. then... stairway to heaven! steve

simon and garfunkel... rawk! what a dream i had pressed in organdy clothed in crinoline of smoky burgandy softer than the rain i wandered empty streets down past the shop displays i heard cathedral bells dripping down the alleyways as i walked on and when you ran to me your cheeks flushed with the night we walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight i held your haaaaaaaaaaaaaaand and when i awoke and felt you warm and near i kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears oh i love you, girrrrrrrrrrrrrrl... --simon & garfunkel, for emily, whereever i may find her steve

oh oh oh, a few more! My gift of self is raped; My privacy is raked. And yet i find, and yet i find repeating in my head: if i can't be my own i'd be better dead. --Staley, Nutshell (Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies) Cloudless every day you fall Upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me To rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors Of morning --Waters/Gilmour/Mason/Wright, Echoes (Pink Floyd - Meddle) She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been She has the blood of reptile just underneath the skin Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest... (damn i love that line ) --Reznor, Reptile (Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral) steve

heh, that's CORGAN! Disarm you with a smile, Leave you like you left me here, To wither in denial; The bitterness of one who's left alone... -- Corgan, Disarm (The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream) Through the fish-eyed lens of tear-stained eyes, I can barely define the shape of this moment in time. -- Waters, The Final Cut (Pink Floyd - The Final Cut) Some say the end is near, Some say we'll see armageddon soon, I certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this Bull... shit... three... ring Circus... side... show of Freaks here in this Hopeless fucking Hole we call L.A. The only way To fix it is To flush it all away Any fucking time Any fucking day Learn to swim I'll see you down in Arizona bay -- Keenan, Aenima (Tool - Aenima) I must be chasing after rainbows, One thing for sure you never answer when I call, And I wipe away the water from face To look through the eyes of a stranger... -- LeBon, The Seventh Stranger (Duran Duran - Seven and The Ragged Tiger) steve

last i heard, adrienne rich was still alive. her style, refined over her many years of writing (read: volumes), often reminds me of eliot and pound (*we're not worthy*), so she's an instant hit with me -- i love her work. i'd say give her a shot. steve

*such* the princess... andrea, it was certainly my pleasure to meet you, tease you, and delight you with my tender, graceful charm and utter lack of tact. may the rest of your socal visit fare you well, and please do have a safe trip back home. hope to see you again soon! steve

i'm a definite maybe. steve
