["Charlie Sweeney" ] FW: Berkeley (2/25) ---(JOSH - please read) ["Susan Krauss" Subject: new Susan pix and e-mail address change (URGENT!) Hi all, New pictures of Susan from the Austin show on 2/18 are available at http://somethingblack.com/frffpix.htm The pictures were taken by Stuart Phillips of GratefulDog Graphics/ESPhotography and are hand held available light shots. Really good photographs so check 'em out. Please update your address books to show my address as charlie@somethingblack.com Here's why. I opened my mail yesterday morning to a message from one of my ISP's (xpnonline-powerworx) stating basically that powerworx was no longer the backbone provider. This was followed by a message from XPN stating that the service no longer existed, giving instructions to sign up with their new backbone provider, and that it might take A WEEK OR MORE before service was resumed. They suggested the subscribers use a free internet service until the change could be effected. By the time I got this message the powerworx account was gone. The new provider, dcanet, appears to have a broken homepage, so no info on signup or mail config is available. If you sent me mail in the last day or so, and it was critical, ya better send it again to the above address. Chances are good I didn't get it.

Much at All Movie of My Life Tall Drink of Water (this is a new song in the old standard style like Cole Porter, Snow White and Bring on the Chains of Love) Misery/Happiness Standing in My Own Way _________ Boomer Song If Not for You Susan was in excellent form again. Her mastery over her vocals and her general control over the performance has gone up more than a notch. She said she's more comfortable at McCabe's and announced early on that she would depart from the set list and take requests, but she really only took one or two requests, one of which, Much At All, was probably on her setlist. I was thinking of requesting Gypsy Mouth and Brazil just because I'd never heard them, but she played them anyway. After she sang Old Mistake she started to take questions from the audience. The first one was, "What do your ex-es think of the songs that are about them?" Susan acted like she was annoyed and said, "They don't think anything about them because they don't know they're about them. Really only two people know that they have a song about themselves and they don't think anything other than 'that's nice.'" Then someone asked who McGee was and she said, "A person." She said, "This is like a press conference, or like being questioned on Good Morning America or Oprah." She seemed relieved when someone asked her where her other Martin was, and she said, "We're in a guitar shop. Let's talk axes." During Boomer she told a funny story about a boomer who told her a story about having handed Janis Joplin a bottle of Jack Daniels during a show and how she took a swig and handed it back, the boomer being awed because he'd been able to drink Janis Joplin's "backwash." After that, I requested Ball and Chain, and Susan, after inquiring what it was, bristled, "I don't know that one. Is that OK?" After the show a woman asked her how the Pasadena show was, and she said it was quieter but because of the great piano she did a lot more piano songs. She said, "Ron was there; he's a major Believer with that big pin." I chatted briefly with her about why San Franciscans hate LA, a subject she had brought up during the show, and she seemed to already know what I was telling her, about how the old back East money settled in SF and the unsophisticated entreprenuers developed LA and SF "society" looked down on LA and it became part of the culture. I also asked her if she'd ever heard the Martha Stewart theme, which is very similar to Lullaby for One. She claimed that she hadn't and said, "Martha Stewart is worth millions and it sounds like she ripped off my melody. I could sue her." Then she turned to a few others who were standing there and said, "All right, Ron. He's just given me a way to make millions by suing Martha Stewart." (I don't think she remembers I'm a lawyer and I didn't remind her.) I got the distinct feeling, without any evidence, that Susan knew about the Martha Stewart coincidence, or at least that she herself had borrowed the Lullaby for One melody. I'm thinking that it's probably a classical melody that anyone with any serious classical training would know. So the joke's on me. ;-) (Maybe some of you Berklee folks can clue me in.) She thanked me for coming to two shows and I assured her it was no problem saying, "Maybe I'll move to Philadelphia." She said, "No, you really should move to Boston. Massachusetts has been very good to me."

Friday night's show was sold out (I think the first time Susan's sold out the Freight). Susan did a much different show than the one I saw in Piermont NY in the fall. In the earlier show she sang a bunch of new songs about being in love/moving near your love etc. She didn't sing any of those songs at this show and talked more about the hardships of love, so maybe things didn't work out. I don't have a set list but it looks like she did about three-quarters of the songs on Ron's list. And JOSH - if you're out there, email me (I sat in the same row as you towards the back). susan mailto:susankrauss@earthlink.net 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 V4 #40 ****************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- 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
