| "Ringer" is a slang term for professional musicians are hired in to
sweeten, shall we say, an ensemble of amateurs. This is what I am
told, so I could be off. The term may be derogatory.

| AOR:== "Album Oriented Rock", like the stuff you'd hear on WAAF.
GB:== "General Business", weddings, Holiday Inn Lounges, etc. The
general dreck of being a working musician.
AC:== "Adult Contemporary", think about Phil Collins, Michael Bolton,
and a host of others who sing sappy tunes with a DX-7.

| And I suppose "Album Oriented Rock," in turn, describes a metaphorical missile
customarily hurled by Tom Janzen and his ilk at anything smelling of AOR, AC,
and/or GB?

| Hey, Tom, is Classic AOR an oxymoron? :^)
(For those who don't realize this, Tom is MUCH LOVED by us
Commusicer's. We rib him all the time, but can only do so because
besides being such a neat guy, an excellent musican, artist, and
bonafide technoguru, he's usually right ...)

| 2769.7 | Oh, yeah... | TLE::YBOT::ASHFORTH | | Tue Nov 12 1991 12:25 | 5 |
| And also, for those who don't realize it, I only omit the obligatory smiley-face
from light comments because I feel about the same way toward them as Tom does
towards pop rock...

| Bob was obviously joking. "...Tom Janzen and his ilk..." Tom has no
ilk. He is unique.
