>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

>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
