    "Why don't you reform BLOODGOOD with you doing vocals, get
    O'Douls to sponsor you and call it the 'O'Douls Bloodgood 
    Tour'?" -- told to me at church last Sunday
    
    It's Springtime.. love is in the air.. does anybody love me? :)
    
    I'm exceedingly sorry for the mess with the multiple mailouts..
    apparently one of the Soae recipients had some virus in his
    mailer and it infected the Listserv.. Jesse assured it the
    problem is temporarily solved and you should only be getting
    one Soae per week..
    
    Screams of Abel #6 is progressing right along.. if all goes
    well it should be out in May.. so hurry up and get #5 before
    it gets old! Screams of Abel, P.O. Box 2861, Springfield, VA
    22152-2861 USA..
    
    To get to the Soae Web Page open http://music.acu.edu and
    go to "JR Music Page"..
    
    We have 65 folks on the Listserv!!!!
    
    And finally, congrats to Screams of Abel staffer Eelco
    "Thrashboy" de Mos, who got married March 21!!
