>       
>     If anyone attempts to teach you a tune titled "JOIN THE CREW",
>     do not listen. This is NOT a traditional jig or a reel but is a
>     13/8 Balkan v*irus form whose insidious counter-Celtic rhythms will
>     erase all tunes in your memory and the memory of any one who hears
>     it and replaces ALL OF THEM with the theme from Gilligan's Island!
>     Please, send this message to as many musicians as you can...
>     .....this is a new v&irus and not many people know about it!
>     
>     This information was received this morning from IRTRAD,
>     please share it with anyone that might access the tradition.
>     There are concrete reports of sessions in pubs in as many as 42
>     cities (so far) being destroyed by this v*irus, with up to 300
>     former session musicians able only to sit and vacantly stare at their
>     instruments while reciting "Just sit right back and you'll hear a
>     tale..."
>     
>     The horror... The horror....
>     
>     Pass this message along to all of your friends, relatives
>     and the other readers of the newsgroups and mailing lists which
>     you are on so that they are not hurt by this dangerous v*irus!!!!
>     STOP THE INSANITY!!
