Hmm...I guess I'm still the youngest jammer I know (14)...when I mentioned DT, Fates Warning and Savatage to my friends they got quite confused...they thought I was just making up names ;) It's still better in the US than in Europe though (I'm Hungarian, living in America right now but going back in June)...at least most people still like *bands* that have people playing *instruments* (not dissing Europeans, but probably the only instrument-playing band that my friends there know are probably Metallica). I guess the general crowd of teenagers in Europe are mostly into techno (if anything).

Last time was a pretty good turnout, and this time should be better still. So far, I was looking at the latter half of June on a Friday or Saturday night. As always, we will go meet, eat, and hang out for way too long at a designated restaurant and then do whatever afterwards. The last two times we went to Texadelphia off of Westheimer, so methinks it's time for a new location. I'm thinking that the Hard Rock Cafe would be a good spot, but since I don't live downtown, if any of you have some better recommendations feel free to put them forth (since getting ten or twelve people seated in Hard Rock on a weekend night will take some time unless there is a reservation - but we could certainly do that). I still have all of the email addresses of previous attendees, so anyone who hasn't come before - please drop me a note and I will add you to the list. Also, after May 13, I will no longer be at this address as I will be going home for the summer. I'll send out the new one when I get it though. That's all for now... there's still plenty of time left, so we'll get a date set in the coming couple of weeks. Hope to see you there! - Colonel Mustard - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 May 1998 16:33:56 -0400 From: Dona Kim To: email_address_removed Subject: Philadelphia Message-ID: Hey all!

The band had a choice between Daytona's and Jaxx for May 5th, and Jaxx was the smallest venue that they played on the last U.S. leg, so they wanted to try someplace different. Evidently, the schedule for the rest of the year will not allow add-on dates, and they are going right back to recording when the DP/ELP gig is done. But, it's almost a given that Daytona's will NOT happen again(He admitted that he wished it had been Jaxx again). Oh well, "Liiiiving........Learrrrrning" Yes, I was excited to meet the guys. I asked these specific questions. Sorry for the name dropping. I'm done.

For example.. the samples theyre talking about is using the lets say "riff" of an old song to construct a new one, In vanilla ice you can find it in play that funky music..and i bet that on lots of other songs..but i think the most famous example is Mc hammers song...you cant touch this.. the wqhole background song was Rick James' Superfly ( some 70's funk song) and they sund exactly the same..exccept for hammer singing... also hammer had a song called pray.. which sampled Prince;s when the doves cry in the same way.. The Rick James song is "Superfreak", not "Superfly" and another sample of Vanilla Ice's that I'm surprised you overlooked is "Ice Ice Baby". The bass line is Queen's "Under Pressure". chris np-Ice Cube "Bootlegs & B-Sides" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 May 1998 15:58:50 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Mark Lampert) To: "Ytsejam" , "Raytheon" , Subject: Houston Ytsenight III - add on Message-ID: <01bd79fa$efccc040$message_id_removed> Ahoy again, How about setting up a date and time to meet on the IRC to discuss ideas? - CM - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 May 1998 17:05:14 -0400 From: The Digital Man To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Daytonazzz...

Shields" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: young jammers Message-ID: I'm a fairly young jammer, myself. I'm 19 and have been into OFB since I was 14 or 15 (freshman year of HS). Now that I'm in college, I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, like Dave Matthews, Rusted Root, Brian Setzer, Superstar DJ Keoki, The Tea Party, and of course, DT. Even at times when I havent been too enthused with heavy, loud music, I have always loved DT. Their music and lyrics have touched me in very personal ways; their music has been there for me when nothing else has. DT has pulled out emotions from me that I would have had trouble expressing otherwise. DT has had a huge impact on my life emotionally, as well as musically, moreso than any other band, and that is why they have remained my favorite band. James C.
