[Carolyn Andre ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 20:38:51 EST From: NYlaw4me@aol.com Subject: Susan at The Iron Horse I am new to the list and have read a few digests now. So, as suggested, this is a bit about me and my connection. I heard Susan on Acoustic Sunday Morning, a syndicated radio show. I often wake up to the program on Sundays and her voice wafted into my consciousness that day. I heard her sing "Courting The Muse" and "Time Between Trains" and my mind was made up. Off I went to buy her CD as I waited for my own next destination. Later that month, I was in NYC to see my cousin, a folk singer, James Jewell, and asked him about her. He knew her from his Philly days while at the Institute of Fine Art and said she was amazing live. The following week I was looking at an Internet calendar of events and saw her name listed for RPI. Kismet. I traveled that day from NYC to hear her. Susan dubbed me the "jazz lawyer" at our first meeting (at RPI last year). At the time I was becoming a singer for a jazz band doing Swing numbers. Unfortunately the genesis of our group is now practicing law for Cadwalader in London. I have since passed the NYS Bar exam and have been looking for a good job while sidetracked by my mother's need for surgery to remove a tumor from her skull. By some miracle she has just had the surgery, and is home recuperating while I (also the nurse in the family) attend her. I am glad to know that I have good company in my love of Susan's music. I have seen her a few times since our first meeting at RPI (always worth the few hour trips). She never fails to make me laugh till my cheeks hurt AND to cry a bit while she touches someplace I reserve only for myself. Seeing her Saturday at the Iron Horse was no exception, as I mentally prepared for my mother's surgery (it was yesterday), I thought to myself that she has a rare insight for this day and age. One that I can identify with as we seem to share the reflective topics of the heart and soul. I had to hear her new song "Misery and Happiness" again. I went to talk with her after the show with tears in my eyes for all that was to come on Monday. She just understood as I stood there babbling. She then asked about my boyfriend and his whereabouts. She smiled and said, "We love Nathan". I came home that night and searched her website since she had told me to write her through it, and I found the believer's list. Whatever is in my power to do to help her, shall be done. It is possible that she may be "too good" for the masses (maybe I am WRONG) but I hope instead that her music will raise them up. I have not yet brought anyone to see her who has not thanked me profusely for bringing them.

I've almost got it down, but there are two lines that I can't make out the right words on... and I can't find the lyrics anywhere... So I've decided to go to the masses... Does anyone out there know/perform the song, and if so, what should the words be in the following parentheses? >> I wanna be seduced I want a girl to take me out to dinner for two I want to see her eyes get moody, Flirting with the (sounds like 'sorta what') flirting oughta do I like to be real cool Want her to think about getting little me in bed Care to chat about the Magna Carta, Puerto Vallarta Something (sounds like 'the gunny') said...

Well, I had Mary Coughlan's "Tired & Emotional" in the computer room, so can give you a transcription of her rendition. different gender version. btw - song credit lists G. Tigerman. I want to be seduced I want a man to take me out to dinner I'd like to see his eyes get moody Thinking about the thought of what flirtin's gonna do I want him to be real cool I want him to think about getting' me right into bed Have a chat about the Magna Carta, flutter my heartstrings, something's gone he said Other listers - if you haven't heard Mary Coughlan, you ought to track her down. A husky-voiced Irish singer who manages to combine torch, blues, jazz, cabaret, and Irish traditional influences in her music! (well, other than the "Irish traditional" part, might sound familiar) One link: http://www.cnotes.com/cnotes.artists/mary.html Regards, Carolyn Andre - ------------------------- candre@house-of-music.com Support Independent Music!
