Tribute Love

Scott:  I have the East Timor CD.  I bought it partly because of my OtR 
fanaticism, partly because there was a previously unreleased song from 
another of my pet bands, "Optiganally Yours".  It's great.  The CD as a 
whole is a strange mix.  Poughkeespie is an oddball on there.  It's in my 
trunk I think, next time I see you remind me to loan it to you.

As Drewford mentioned, the Tribute CD is actually shipping now.  Crazy.  
Hope you all enjoy it.  Twenty two songs from eleven states.  When we get 
together in groups I know a lot of us are shy - heck, half the time we only 
know email addresses of people!  So, by email, here's some of the fine 
contributors on this list also on the CD:

binkmeisterrick at yahoo_com
indigoebony at yahoo_com
chris at fumblefactory_com
vogelap at email_uc.edu
dtemm at yahoo_com
b_lachey at hotmail_com
darmstrong at raygroup_com
wkseitz at hotmail_com
jaharnish2 at aol_com
ponybat at aol_com

I sat an put a few words down the other day to track the genesis of the 
puppy, did some web research, and came up with this:

It was from Joel Smith (smithwj at grace_edu).  For those of you not wanting to 
waste that extra second for a click, here's the text:

| I started thinking, hmm............. how can we get OTR nationally
| known?  So I came up with a few ideas:
|
| The OTR Wax Museum:  Beautifully crafted statues of Karin, Linford,
| and the whole gang by the 20th century's most esteemed artist, Farrah
| Fawcett.  Located across the street from Graceland.
|
| The OTR China Collector's Plate Set:  OTR enters among such esteemed
| groups like Disney, the NFL, and Star Trek with their own set of
| commemorative plates.  These gold-embossed china plates shall bear
| the likeness of OTR in different concert settings, like Greenbelt,
| Cornerstone, The Emery Theatre, and even Sudsy Malone's.
|
| The OTR Commemorative Stamp:  A set of beautiful stamps for all of
| those stamp-collectors out there.  Available only in Grenada.
|
| The OTR Funniest Bloopers Special:  A hilarious hour of outtakes from
| OTR shows, practices and interviews.  Includes such laughable moments
| as the time Linford called Ric "Rick" and when a drunken Brian tries
| to bite Willow.  Broadcast on CBS.
|
| The OTR Tribute Album:  Such artists as The Ass Ponys, Reba McEntire,
| and Tiny Tim sing your favorite OTR songs on an hour-long compilation
| (with cover art by the 20th century's most esteemed artist, Farrah
|  Fawcett).
|
| And finally...
|
| The OTR Lunchbox:  All those elementary schoolers out there can show
| their friends their appreciation for music with this hard plastic
| lunchbox with the Good Dog Bad Dog photo on the side.  Included is a
| thermos covered with a full body picture of Terri Templeton.

Pretty fun.  I guess we took that and ran.  Tiny Tim's contribution was 
omitted, sadly.  Drew is working on the wax museum now, he expects to be 
done in December, but I think with the two of us working together, it'll be 
complete by Valentine's Day.

At any rate, the tribute CD is available with credit card on Drew's site 
(www.drewvogel.com).  Checks/money orders, email me.  Alternately, if you're 
in the Cincinnati area, they'll be at many fine record shops with local 
music within a few short days.
