                We're close personal friends of Mayo Thompson
                        Shows of note as of 03/09/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES
    The ads this week have a teaser for the King Crimson show, but don't
    give a date.  I love beating the ads.  The line-up is Fripp / Belew /
    Gunn / Levin / Mastelotto / Bruford.

    The ad for Hawkwind certainly looks like they'll have Lemmy along.

The Shows List is updated late every Thursday night.  You can get it over
the Internet in two ways:

    World-Wide Web:     http://www.mcs.net/~alester/
    Mail subscription:  <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>  Ask to be added, and 
                        mention where you found out about the list.

Please mail to shows@farpost.chi.il.us:
    -   New shows you'd like to see added
    -   Any corrections to anything in the list
    -   Subscription requests, or drop requests
    -   Information about other shows list across the country
    -   Anything other comments, etc

You can also get it from Far Post BBS, (708) 934-6224

There are many other shows lists available on the Internet.  As far as I
know, unless the address is "listproc" or "listserv", the list is run by a
human, not an automated list-management program.
