(Nice enough song, but I'm sorta luke-warm about it >and so didn't miss it.) As someone who lives in Petaluma (actually moving to SF right now), I can tell you that you have to spend a week in Petaluma with nothing in particular to do in order to "get" this song. It's a song that really tells what life in Petaluma is like. It captures the best things about living in a small town in the middle of rural California. There's not much about this song that I don't like. The next time you decide to go to California, take a couple of days and spend them in Petaluma. I guarantee, you'll understand the song and it (the song and the stay) will change your life...even if only for a little while. - --Marty - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i | e-mail: myoung@ikonic.com k | Marty Young voice mail: (415) 908-8131 o | QA Manager cellular: (415) 990-5471 n | fax mail: (415) 908-8100 i |------------------------------------------------------------ c | Hey, check out the VU! http://www.ikonic.com/ - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers"in the body of the message. - -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org - -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com - -Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 21:50:11 -0400 (EDT) From: "Don M. von Schriltz" Subject: Which Version is Preferred? An introduction: I am brand new to this list but a relatively long time fan of Susan Werner. I "discovered" her six years ago at a folk festival at a farm in New Jersey. I have been to six or seven of her concerts since then which is not too bad considering that I spent the last four of those years on assignment in Europe (where I did once hear Susan being piped over the PA system at a gas station in Switzerland). And now to the point of my note: I was pleasantly surprised to hear the "quiet" version of "Last of the Good Straight Girls" at the concert Friday night at the Wolftrap Barn. I have heard the song many times but this was the first time ever that the music matched the words to me. Has there been a poll amongst the believers on which version is preferred? I'll cast my vote for the "quiet" version. I much prefer it to the usual somewhat frenetic version. - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers"in the body of the message. - -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org - -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com - -Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 23:05:05 -0400 From: sbadawi@juno.com (Samer A. Badawi) Subject: Land of the Bottom Line Hi all, I'll add my voice to the chorus of praise for the Barns gig. Who knew that Pennsylvania deer ate light bulbs? Yeah, the concert was great as usual, but I couldn't help but feel melancholy about the whole thing. I would much rather tape microphone chords (as one of you mentioned earlier) than serve as a marketing placebo for one or another of the music world's totemic underwriters. While passion may seem "half impossibility," Susan has managed to defy those odds over the years. Please God, let her not disappear into that bulk of humanity that avoids passion for fear of its mystery. Let her not fade into the landscape in the land of the bottom line. Hope you're all well. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
