Since some folks are asking.  This list grew out of my love for the
Connells (in fact, I am listening to One Simple Word right now as I write
this).  We started the list over a year and a half ago.  The list grew out
of a digest that I mailed to fellow Connells fans (old issues can be found
on the web site).  The list of people interested grew so fast that I could
not keep up.  So, I created a listserv list.  Since then the membership has
skyrocketed and on many occasions we have broken 200+ members.
 
The conversation, as with all lists, has ebbed and flowed.  We have created
(starting with Bob Jones and then me) a web site to further our devotion
and ability to spread information.  I am trying to embed songs onto the
page and am adding tour dates, photos, and other things as time allows.  I
have to say that I think the Connells are the most underappreciated
American band currently "out there."  Lyrics that are meaningful with song
structures that are fluid and pregnant with hooks and catchy melodies -
yes, I even love WFAD!
 
We often have members of the Connells read the list - so ask away.  Those
of us on the list try to answer as many questions as we can.  I would
encourage people to raise questions and issues about the Connells on the
list.  I would also encourage people to use the list as a mechanism to help
spread the word on America's most underappreciated band.
 
Well, I think I have said plenty for tonight - besides I need to get home
to my new baby!
 
take care everyone and keep the faith!!
