 DB> On _Waiting For Herb_ I do like the song, Tuesday Morning..

 Oh yeah, so do I. It even got quite a lot of airplay on WRXQ/Memphis, the
 local 'Alternative Rock' station. It's the /only/ Pogues song that I've
 ever heard played on a mainstream radio station.

 RM>> .._Rum Sodomy & the Lash_ and _Red Roses For Me_. They're very, VERY
 RM>> strong albums, only a tick behind _IISFFGWG_..After that _Hells Ditch_,
 RM>> _Peace & Love_, and _Pogue Mahone_, in that order.

 DB> Cool, that will help me out a lot..Thanks!

 Hey, my pleasure! Always happy to help a fledgling Pogues fan!

 There are also a couple of fine EPs, _Poguetry In Motion_ and _Yeah, Yeah,
 Yeah, Yeah, Yeah_. _Yeah x5_ is still widely available, but _PiM_ is out of
 print. A pity, too, as it contains my favorite Pogues song of all, "Planxty
 Noel Hill". And if you're still solvent after all that, consider the concert
 video _Live at the Town and Country_. It's a bit uneven, but does offer some
 fine moments.

 DB> Hmmm....so much music so little time.

 Don't I know it!

 DB> Maybe I'll check out the "Popes" first.

 Nah, get _Rum Sodomy & the Lash_ and _Red Roses For Me_ next, if you can
 find them. Those two are /exceptional/, _The Snake_ is merely very good.

 DB> Shane has a distinctive voice--to say the least!

 That he does!

 DB> Yeah, St. Patrick's day is a blast   There are a lot of good
 DB> musicians around here playing the traditional style of music.

 Around here, it's not the major occasion that is in, say, Boston or NYC.
 I've attended some world-class St. Paddy's Day bashes in Chicago, too.
 
 DB> ..the conclusion is that I have a lot of great music to get to
 DB> listening to.

 Please post your impressions on this stuff, when you find it!

 DB> I appreciate your help.

 Think nothing of it.
