I have been off-net for several weeks, and so when you posted this gem (for which I have been searching for years), I missed it! If you still have the file, could you do me the inestimable favour of e-mailing it to me? I will call down blessing on you and your descendants (or whatever other expression of gratitiude you prefer)for your kindness. Awaiting your response with breathless anticipation, Andrea Aldridge n9040513@henson.cc.wwu.edu Date: Fri, 29 Apr 1994 22:25:40 -0700 From: Andrea Aldridge To: jcf@world.std.com Subject: Re: The Ballad of Eskimo Nell Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! My access to my account has been limited (through the kndness of a friend who lives 25 miles away), and I haven't been able to check my account for almost a month. I'm sorry I couldn't thank you earlier, but I have only just now got on line. It's wonderful! A hell of a lot of effort show, and the song is the delightfully filthiest thing I have ever read. thank you especially for the commentary and the references you included; I have long searched for Silverman's Dirty Song Book, and this inspires me to continue. Thanks again!!! Andrea Aldridge
