To the best of my knowledge, Jane took a large suply with her to the west coast. Also, the reports on songs.com shipments are excellent, with some folks receiving them before the actual release.

I was also at the Seattle show and am impressed with Fred's detailed review. I would also agree that it was the best Seattle show that I've seen Susan perform and probably outranks a number of the shows that I've seen Susan do in the Philadelphia area. I was especially excited as five of my friends attended the show with me and two of them brought along an additional friend. Of course, everyone fell in love with Susan and her songs, and a couple bought CD's. (yes, Susan is selling all four CD's at her shows). I travelled down to Portland the next day to see Susan's next show and introduce some more friends to her talents. The Portland show was terrific too, but I preferred the Seattle show a bit more for a couple of reasons: it was a bit longer...she did not have an opening act...and therefore, she had time to play a few more of my favorite songs; she interacted with the audience a bit more when explaining the "stories" that prompted her to write certain songs; she also seemed to improvise some of her songs a bit more. But she didn't repeat very many songs that she sang in Seattle, and toward the end of the show explained that she wanted to vary the show a bit because she knew that some folks travelled down from Seattle to see her a second time. Anyway, here is the setlist from the Portland show: "Last Go Around" "Last of the Good Straight Girls" (after which she commented that those were the only two songs of hers that had "last" in the title and that the show would no longer be preoccupied with the "finality concept") "Yes to You (Tappan Zee)" "Old Mistake" "Bad at Love" "The Year of the Bad President' "Look for Me in the Cheap Seats" (? Not sure if this is the correct title...I've never heard her do this song before. She said it was one of her "angry" songs, and basically, the singer is addressing someone who used to be her peer and is now very famous and no longer has time to acknowledge the singer) "Ain't I Lonely Tonight" "St. Mary's of Regret" "Society Ball" "Boy from East Dubuque" (a hilarious parody of the tune "Girl from Ipanema" sp? She led into this song explaining how she was asked ad nauseum to play "Girl from Ipanema" while playing jazz bars in Philly...and that she and the band used to improvise the lyrics a bit to entertain themselves... It starts out "tall and blonde and very Catholic, the boy from East Dubuque...") "Lucky Sons of Bitches" (again, not sure of the title, a new song to me...she introduced it as a song about the "five-minute affair" in which a woman admires a man in a bar and does not muster up the courage to approach him, but instead admires the luck of all the inanimate objects...his pocket, his change, his barstool...that get to be close to him) "Montgomery Street" (first time I've heard it live...it was wonderful) "Cole Porter" "Movie of My Life" "Standing in My Own Way" "Born a Little Late/Boomer Song" And her encore consisted of two covers: "I Only Have Eyes for You" (voice only, no instruments) "Vincent" So, for the rest of you around the country who intend to catch her shows...enjoy, go as often as you can, and bring a lot of friends...they'll love you for it! - --- Corinne "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars." - --- Oscar Wilde HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 19:02:18 -4000 From: "Charlie Sweeney" Subject: Okay, I'm converted - ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date sent: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:06:46 -0400 (EDT) From: owner-believers@smoe.org To: owner-believers@smoe.org Subject: BOUNCE believers@smoe.org: Non-member submission from [Tom Pelletier ] >From owner-believers Mon Sep 21 08:06:44 1998 Received: from hil-img-8.compuserve.com (hil-img-8.compuserve.com [149.174.177.138]) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/daemon-mode-relay2) with ESMTP id IAA17509 for ; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:06:43 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by hil-img-8.compuserve.com (8.8.6/8.8.6/2.14) id IAA26931 for believers@smoe.org; Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:06:12 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 08:05:40 -0400 From: Tom Pelletier Subject: Okay, I'm converted Sender: Tom Pelletier Cc: "(unknown)" Hi guys, Well, I was one of the people panning TBT. After my first listening, I was really dissapointed. But maybe I was in a bad mood that day or something. Because yesterday I listened to it again and now I can't stop listening. There are some extraordinary songs on this CD. My favorites: Time Between Train, Sorry About Jesus, Petaluma Afternoon, Courting the Muse, and Movie of My Life I really don't like Bring 'Round the Boat. And I'm not sure why she did Vincent. Don Maclean's version is better. Overall, I'm very happy now. And I can't wait till the next time she comes to Western Mass.

No "buts" required. One does not depend on the other. Though I do disagree. I see them sharing the stage to help and them simply making room for another. And I think Susan will always know the significant contribution of others; more or less talented does not matter. She need not be, but thankfully is, very humble, which gives us those great songs and talent Keep believing, "The Bearded One" HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ End of believers-digest V2 #148 ******************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- This has been a posting from the Susan Werner believers-digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers-digest" in the body of the message
