THIS GROUP IS NOW RETIRED SINCE MAY 2004 -- THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT WHAT IT WAS (RMA) ..... Rosa Rama's listing of events and gigs and stuff -- a mutation and evolution of the periodic news flashes RR gives her friends and acquaintances.
Here's a "mini-review" from the "in urban diary" column by Thomas Crone: "Over the past week, a number of announcements came flying across the e-mail transom, compliments of local artist/songwriter/poet/etc. Rosa Arenas, who maintains a quality listserv dedicated to giving play to the local arts and music scenes. ... She produces a bunch of mail and very little of it is annoying. That's a good bargain in this increasingly e-world." (From: STLtoday.com, April 13, 2001)

If you would like your announcements considered for forwarding, send to rosarama_2005@yahoo.com.

A word about mail from rosarama@yahoogroups.com: (2-6 email messages a day.) "Web Mail Only" means no mail to your mailbox at all, but you can read messages from the website whenever and you won't have to deal with large graphic files. If you don't check email more than twice a week, it's probably a good idea to select Web Mail Only. "Digest" form means you'll get all messages in one email towards the end of the day. To change from "Individual Email" to another form, go to the web site and change at DELIVERY OPTIONS or email me directly and ask me to do that for you.
FYI: Rosa Rama has been listening to rock, blues, soul and pop tunes since she can remember and that is a very long time. oh my god. She also has been known to give a listen to classical, punk, folk, electronic, traditional Mexican music, heavy metal, world music, jazz and noise.
