The Fox Catcher
1) A fox comes to a house and steals away a child.
2) The parents track down the fox to his lair and lure him out with drum and violin music.
3) The fox is beaten and/or killed, and the tearful child is saved.
I thought I knew a lot of fairytales, but this one escapes me!

Del Rivers
WU Reader Frank Stamm kindly introduces us to the music of Del Rivers. Mr. Stamm further enlightens us:
A cover story was done on Del in Rochester’s alternative newspaper City
News in 2001 that said of him “the list of musicians he's worked with
reads like a who's-who of Rochester garage rock: Cousin Al, Insiders,
Fadeaways, It's My Party, Fertility Rite Brothers, McFadden's Parachute,
Fugitives, Earthlings.” Del has been backed back by some of Rochester’s
best musicians, and has turned out a list of singles over the years that
place him at the head of the pack: “Second in Line”, “Soul Chaser”,
“She Walks Like a Robot”.
After taking a detour for a few years into comedy and acting, he has found
a new band that matches his musical sensibilities, Fudge Club. They have
released three music videos now: “Duesenberg (All The Way)”, the
controversial “Ape Farmers”, and now the new single, “Wacky Bushy
Pine-ackles”.
It’s never too late to jump on the Del bandwagon! Del Rivers will field
all questions at [email protected] He will answer questions about
his new work, old work, or his problems with women.
Thanks, Frank! I think.....

Thank You, Patty!
I've been wanting to send her a little token of thanks, but could not come up with the perfect item--until I was out book-hunting today and came across a copy of the volume pictured to the side.
Patty--send me your snailmail address privately through the SUGGEST LINK mechanism, and this invaluable compendium of "boners" will go out to you in Monday's mail.
And thanks again for all your creativity!
