 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

 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.
