Sherlyn (and anybody else coming to San Francisco),

If you can make it to San Francisco by October 20, it will be much easier to
go to the show in Berkeley(12 miles from SF) than Santa Cruz (90 miles from
SF).  There are excellent public transportation options to Berkeley from San
Francisco, as well.

You can email me privately for directions.

Eric

Subject: Chicago show ... New Non-Fiction

ok, I know it's rude to tease ... a friend & I thoroughly enjoyed the first 
of the 2 Ellis & Susan shows at the Old Town School of Folk Music in 
Chicago on Saturday night.  Quite a nice way to end a cool & crisp fall 
day.  (Only thing better would have been to have bought tix to both shows ...)

First - a heads-up to those collecting $ for CD purchases - the new one is 
$16, not 15.  Second - here in Chicago at least they were taking credit 
cards; I think it was Susan & not the Old Town School.  Also, Chicago was 
the first night of CD sale, I guess.  Track list & title as posted by Charlie.

Now I have to apologize for not providing the show set list & review ... I 
got sidetracked with a combination of technical problems with my PC and a 
deadline on a website update I'm doing for a CD release ... so, ...

Yes, Susan came out during Ellis' set and joined him for 3000 miles &, if I 
recall, another song.

Her set included:
stationary
shade of grey (new non fiction)
this yellow house
St. Mary's of Regret
Misery
Bonsai

<here she digressed about having recently taken an architectural boat tour 
of Chicago recently -- they run on the river & lake (actually it is kinda 
cool - just did it myself with a visiting friend from NY this past summer) 
and segued into a 'critique' of Mies Van der Rohe sung to the tune of 3 
Blind Mice:

Mies Van der Rohe
Mies Van der Rohe
He was an architect
He was an architect
The leading figure of modernism
...

She then went on about an architectural trilogy, with Frank Lloyd Wright 
being next ... obviously not the unrecorded *serious* FLW song she has done 
in the past ... same tune:

Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright
he was an architect

founder of the priaire school ....

then to go on to something about the buildings all falling apart.
....

And her "third" would be i m pei.

she was quite clear that this tongue-in-cheek critiquing was *not* of the 
architects she liked <g>

- -----------------------
then back to the 'serious' set ...

Big Big Car

- --------------
then the piano set
- - Cool Drink of Water
- - Cole Porter
- - an uptempo song comparing love to winning the lottery / money in the bank 
(?? can't recall details from prior set lists)
- - segue to the breakup song: Much At All
- - North Side / South Side (stay on your side of Town)
Since it obviously had Chicago references, afterwards she mentioned trying 
out several alternative verses with local street references... (Diversey, 
Milwaukee)

back to the guitar for her formal closer - Standing in My Own Way

Encore - Ellis & Susan:
- - the Woody Guthrie "Way Over Younder in the Minor key" as reported in the 
Lawrence, KS show
- - Let it Be

Susan was in great voice, and back to the strong delivery voice that I 
enjoy.  The Ellis/Susan harmonies on these last two were truly wonderful!

oh - 2 acoustic guitars only, the Martin & the smaller one.  And she "did 
an Amy Ray" at the end - breaking one of her lower strings.
Regards,
Carolyn Andre
