ShnAmp ---> This is a plug-in for Winamp to play Shorten audio files. Download it. 
WinRAR ---> You will need WinRAR to extract the SHN plug-in. 


Download all of the above. The installation of WinAMP is briefly covered below the details of Shorten.

Napanee Mourns The Loss Of Babysitting Avril

02 April 2003, Contact Music -- Pop sensation AVRIL LAVIGNE's success has upset at least one family in her native Napanee, Ontario - because she was such a great babysitter.

The SK8ER BOI singer made a fortune looking after youngsters because kids loved the lively teenager.

STEPHEN MEDD, who used to hire Avril to look after his kids, says, "My kids say to this day that Avril was the best babysitter we ever had.

"She was always a joy to work with - she had a real positive spirit about her."

Avril Will Travel

2014-11-07 @ The Pirate Bay around thewaymouth aka mikedreams on: A sweet audience recording - a down-hometown mini-set - pre-legend.


NOVEMBER 7 

TENSKATAWA Mystical Shawnee prophet, twin brother of Tecumseh, forged a pan-Indian united front against US aggression.
FESTIVAL OF STOLEN FIRE. 
FEAST OF FREE PAMPHLETEERS

.TALK STOOL.

This is an upfront grab of Av at a country fair. You just must savor this tiny taste of the soon to be pop-rockin hot, apple-pie of our eye.


Unfortunately though there is some kid just not paying attention, and so gabs on in the background of a touching, "Kiss Me." The audience then gets pretty quiet for the rest. During "No One Needs To Know," am I dreaming or boy does she hit me hard in the heart. 


Avril is lovely and growing here. She could have been a great country singer. Maybe she will do a country album someday. She could be just the miss to pull modern country from the abyss. But then she could go on to sing anything she sets her head on and puts her voice to.


SPOILER ALERT:

My favorite part though is when nervously and excitedly Avril talks to the crowd (before "You Were Mine," which I'm guessing is actually the first number of the set).


"OK I don't usually sit in a stool but, for these songs I just kind of prefer to sit in a stool [laughs]. 

...OK I have a Dixie Chicks song called, 'You Were Mine.' And this is my first time singing this in public, so I'm kind of excited [laughs]. OK."


They don't call Avril Miss A Thousand Thrills for nothing
