		FAMOUS SONGS BY FAMOUS PEOPLE

	This week:		BARRY MONEYLOW



	Barry, of course, was the first to mention computers in his songs:

---------------------------
	Lyrics from "Ready to take a Flying Fling Again"


		You remind me
		I live in a Bourne shell
		Safe from the past
		And doing ok
		But not very well...

	Chorus:
		And
		I'm
		Ready to write a shell again
		Ready to put my life on the line
		For you
		Been living with nothing to show for it
		I'll do what I can when I go for it
		But I'm ready to write a shell again
		For you

----------------------------
	
	Of course this led to the immortal: "I Write The Shells"

----------------------------

	Lyrics from "I Write the Shells"


		I've been around forever
		And I wrote the very first shells
		I put the syntax and the programs together
		I am BERKELEY--and I write the shells.


	Chorus:

		I write the shells that make the whole world cringe
		I write the shells of Bourne and other weird things
		I write the shells that make the users all cry
		I write the shells, I write the shells

	


	Barry has of course written other songs speaking of his fascination
	and thorough knowledge of computers, but I see that time is closing
	in on us.  
	Be sure and be here next week, for

			BARRY MONEYLOW'S GREATEST HITS

		including
			All the Time--a song of system load time
			Weekend In New England--a tale of a trip to MIT
			Mandy--a song dedicated to the one woman who
			       inspired Barry to turn his back on women
			       and move into computers
			Could It Be Magic--an amazing saga of an 11/70
			       that ran speedily, dumped in 10 minutes,
			       had a games file open to everyone, and
			       had 163 terminals on it plus 45 dialups.
