I saw Da Vinci's Notebook last night and they mentioned the possibility of a gig in Boston. The only difficulty seems to be the club's hesitancy at bringing in a band unknown in the area. So . . . BOSTON! Now is your chance! Call Johnny Dees (sp?) and ask when Da Vinci's Notebook is coming, or when you can get tickets, or how much tickets will be, or SOMETHING!! Let them know you care! Bring DVN To Boston!! If someone wants to offer me crash space, I'LL try to get a cheap flight up if they get the gig. :-) www.davincisnotebook.com Thanks!

I really don't think the structured education of school helped me as much as those shows did. Granted, school was (and still is) completely necessary, but it just didn't spark interest for me. Gee, when I get a kid (given a wife first), I'll be looking for tapes of those three shows. No television for my kid, just tapes of the shows that worked for me. Those new shows are just too artsy now, if you know what I mean.

I'll try and fix the situation. After planning on meeting in syracuse with a bunch of other fruheads at 4, and finally having all of them get here at 5, and leaving a whole lot later than planned, we were on the road. After an uneventful drive through utica, and onto clinton, we found the Kirkland Art Centre (Center???) We managed just to squeeze into the building, waiting in the foyer (sp??) After waiting a while, they finally let us in. They had chairs set up in front of the stage. Maybe 8 rows of them. There were steps surrounding the stage (4) as well. The dancin' area was in the back. I sat on the stairs, stage murray. I really didn't want to sit at all, but I did want to be up close. Jess Klein came on. I love her. She might be my favorite opener now. She played a relatively short set. :( She invited Jian to play the dumbec and sing with her on "The Cloud Song." The song orginally features Congos. It was great. She also did a new song, totally a capella. It totally blew me away. anyways... Fruvous came on a while later. Longer than announced, but we knew that, didn't we. Opened with: Poor Napolean (porno on the set list.) What a suprise. I totally didn't expect this. I love any Elvis Costello cover! Early Morning Rain: I asked Murray on Thursday if they might be able to play it. I love this song. The harmonies are amazin'. If the show had ended there, I would've still said it was a great show...good thing it didn't though. Authors: Jian: "We're the Philosopher Kings from Toronto..." I knew the show was gonna be great! River Valley: a Song I hadn't heard in a while. I was glad they played it. GITC: The song I expected...Good rockin version. Horseshoes: Mike was on the piano. (did I forget to mention about the piano?) I like this song with it. Boss: (without mics) The guys went off stage, and moved down to the stairs that were surrounding the stage. Jian commented that he wasn't sure if this guy who was leaning up against the wall was standing on the stairs or not. He looked to be about 7 ft tall. I couldn't tell if he was or not. Anyways...Jian proceded to kick one of the stuffed animals off the stairs. (what's with them anyways?) The thing proceded to vibrate and make funny noises. Jian picked it up, and started laughing. This really killed the crowd. Anyways...They mentioned they liked being in clinton, because they can go back to their roots. Being street Buskers. Murray Then mentioned that they were all going outside, and that they'll be back later. After all the joking, they finally got to the song. (boss in case you forgot) JIan proceded to climb on the speaker near the 7ft tall guy, and climbed on his shoulders. Jian was up there for about a min. singing the song. Kick In The Ass: (Jian's setlist had Spidey on it) I've only seen this song a couple of times, and I love it. Downsizing: (The first of the new songs. The first time I heard this song (Ithica) it seemed twice as long as it does now.) If Only You Knew: Jian was talking before the song about how they like having songs that are only one word for the setlist, but they can't figure out what to do for this song. They put Dave on the Piano for this song. Mike was using the Les Paul. I liked it better with the acoustic. The Bass and Drums also still seemed overpowering. (My opinons...take them as you want) Jam: Started because The electic guitar wasn't working. Dave played a riff on it, and the guys liked it. Went into Fly Like an Eagle, Broadway, Love Shack, Liar Liar (your pants are on fire.....not a real song that I know anyways.) There were others, but I didn't know them. It was a great jam. Grudge: Dave was on the piano. This song is sooo catchy. I still have it in my head. I don't remember if Dave played the piano when I saw it in Buffalo. I like it though. There Comes a Time (T-Cat on most setlists, although "Comes Time" on Jian's) I think I like this song. I will have to hear it a bunch more though to be sure. This time they had Mike on Piano. I also liked that. Greatest Man in America: I love this song. The crowd really got into it as well. Pisco: (Piszco on setlist) I love this song. (I asked Murray on Thursday why they got rid of the whole apple strudel part. He said that the song was trying to make fun of a serious subject, and that it just didn't fit in, and was too silly. They didn't play it this time, but he did say they might bring it back) Fly: Jian mentioned that some people were really pissed that they didn't do this at Hamilton College. So they're playing it now, even though those people prolly aren't here. Tureen and sauce were skipped. Because of time. Sleepy Drinker: The faster version with Dave on the Accordian. King Of Spain: No Green Eggs and Ham at all in Clinton. Darlington Darling: I love this song. (which one don't I though) Ended with: Dancin' Queen: Special Guest: Lou Reed. Encore 1: Jockey Full of Burbon: Wierd time for it, since I've been used to it in the first part of the setlist. Gulf War Song: (Off Mic) I love this song. Almost dead silence during the song from the crowd. After the song was over, everyone seemed to sit there and absorb it, before applauding. Jian had Marion crossed out after jockey. I don't know if they were thinking about ending with that, but I still like Gulf War better. Jian mentioned how it was funny in a sad way, that a song that was written over 6 years ago keeps being relevent. The show was great, even though The Banjo was totally ignored. I was kinda dissappointed. After the Show Jian and Dave came out. I asked Dave when they were going to finish (Start?) the song book, as I got my 15th stamp on thursday. He said maybe over the holidays, and to shoot for FruCon. I'm excited, but also kinda bummed, as I wish I had it to practice with, before FruCon. Anyways...That's my review of the show. I hope you made it to here. Enjoy! Daniel "signature currently under construction...

But the kicker is that a few years later I had a heart attack. It's obviously impossible to draw a clear connection, but the Atkins diet does involve eating all the things that can cause high cholesterol counts and there is a correlation between cholesterol and arteriosclerosis. Be aware of the risk if you choose to try this diet. Get your Cholesterol level tested and just quit the diet if it goes up significantly. The Pritikin diet is pretty muich the opposite of the Atkins, and can also work for some people. What can ya say?
