Hmm, lemme think about it. *ponders it for precisely .4756 seconds* Sure. :) It would be nice to have a group to go with again, for another exciting time, and to cut down on housing for everyone. :) : "wild" Bill (adjusting to life w/o his goatee...)

So after your finances have recovered from your great CD splurge, wing it on over. Only fair, at least a couple of us Americans have seen Fruvous in Great Britain now. . . I most highly recommend the October 30-31 shows at the Iron Horse, assuming they're confirmed. (They'd *better* be, I already know of a couple dozen Fruheads planning for them!) Greatest venue in the world, in my not-even-pretending-to-humility opinion. Fruvous puts on the most terrific shows there! ceecee ------------------------------ Date: 26 Jun 1998 03:49:20 GMT From: dalevy@aol.com (DALevy) Subject: Re: Columbia Festival of the Arts?

I highly recommend that you get their second and >third albums, "up" and "Play". There's some crossover, I believe, because >Rant and Roar is a compilation, but they're worth getting anyway, definitely. I was just listening to an old Spirit of the West album tonight--one I hadn't listened to in, erm, apparently about a year and a half, "Tripping Up the Stairs." I hadn't thought much of it initially (seemed very basic celtic schtuff) but I was delighted to hear "Our Station" and be able to sing along to it, thanks to hearings of Great Big Sea! And I discovered it was a better album than I'd given it credit for, too. Still don't like their latest two, but. . . >By the way, I'm stressing out trying to decide whether to see MF in Vermont on >7/17, or GBS in Somerville MA the same day! Wouldn't it be dreamy if one was a >day show and the other an evening show and I could do both? ... hmmm.... Howbout this: you come to see Fruvous on 7/17 and then pop down with us to Solarfest the next day? Dar Williams and Eddie From Ohio are playing that weekend, among others. Only $35 including camping for the weekend, only 1 1/2 hour drive from Burlington, and me for company! *smile* ceecee ------------------------------ Date: 26 Jun 1998 03:38:31 GMT From: wbsmiles@aol.com (Wbsmiles) Subject: Pittsburgh Review Hiya everyone! Still trying to recover from the hectic roadtrip to Pittsburgh from DC last night. This is my first attempt at a review so be nice, :o). Unfortunately, couldn't get the whole day off work, so I worked until noon, then met up with Rodney in Rockville and off to the Burgh. Made it there in just over four hours (with no speeding tickets - wahoo!!) got great parking in fromt of the club and went up to the Rosebud, saw a few folks already in line. No knowing quite when the doors were going to open, we decided to go grab some much needed dinner and them come back - mistake! By the time we got back the club had opened and almost every table was taken - yikes! We stole a couple of chairs from the balcony and brought them down behind the tables and chairs. The whole time I am carrying around a birthday balloon, looking for Mike Wood who was _supposed_ to be wearing a birthday hat. (Hi Mike and Karen!) A friend of Mike's asked "oh, is it your birthday too?" I said, "Nope, it's some guy named Mike, who I don't know" After a chuckle she (Melody) asked if I meant Mike Wood, YES! So she pointed him out and birthday greetings were exchanged. And, major bonus, Mike graciously squeezed us in to his table, which was to my joy right against the stage, Murray side. Great spot to watch the show! Okay, on to the music! Finally got to hear Sahara that everyone has been raving about, and now I see why - great!!!! Into Jockey Full Of Bourbon, and then Horseshoes. A new one for me, Marion Fruvous (Ballad of???) to which Jian forgot the lyrics momentarily, with a Les Miserables twist. Then both new songs, Sad Girl and Pisco Bandito - both I loved!!! You Will Go To the Moon, Kids Song, Stuck In the 90's, Boo Time (listed on Jian's setlist as "Booty"), I've Got to Get A Message to You (love this!), Michigan Militia, Johnny Saucepan. Mike Wood and crew had flashcards for this one which were great! As each food was said the flashcards were held up around the table (cards were flying!). About 8 people were involved with 2 sets of cards (I think?!?!). The guys seemed to absolutely love it! Then King of Spain into Green Eggs and Ham and Get In the Car (which someone in the audience yelled for early on in the show and was luckily on the setlist!). Encores were Sign, Sealed, Delivered, with Papa was a Rolling Stone and Rio (yes!! I was a Duranie too!), Psycho Killer, My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors and The Drinking Song. I think they came out 3 times, but I can't remember (help me guys!!!). Hung out for a bit, got some pics with the guys (all but Dave) and then had to hit the road back to DC (had to work this morning - ugh!) But what a great show and well worth the 9 hour roundtrip roadtrip! Can't wait for tomorrow!!!! See you guys there!!! Smiles, Wendy :o) Working on 3 1/2 hours of sleep please forgive the review! ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #34 *******************************************
