"Effect" is also a verb as in the sentence, "The addition of sodium to the mixture effects a change in the Ph balance of the soil." You can look it up. Are you affected? Or are you simply affected? ;-) "An English teacher is really someone, how proud I'd be if you had become one !" From the musical Bye, Bye Birdie.

I have a special request for your help. Last year, I wrote the narration for a concert about American music through the 20th century (we had three sold-out performances). This year, I am participating in a concert honoring the decade of the 60's. What I am planning this year is a couple minute long sound presentation of memorable "sound-bytes." This is intended to be a serious piece, serving as an introduction to an a capella choral work by Pablo Casals. I am imagining everything from the newscasts of the assassinations, helicopter sounds, "the whole world's watching," "no rain!" free speech movement, NOW, ...civil rights, et al..., well, you all know what happened back then, right? What I need help in is finding the sound bytes. Any directions, links, recommendations, advice you can share would be great! I only have a month to get it together. I have a lot of sound recording equipment, so I can accommodate any media. Please feel welcome to contact me on or off list. It would even be a good topic for discussion. It could take the pressure off of the Superbowl. (This last spoken as a former Pittsburgh resident and occasional Steelers fan!)

I was in New York for like, five seconds, this weekend, helping a friend move from Boston to Brooklyn. While there, another friend handed me a copy of the aforementioned Time Out Review. It's brief, so I'll just transcribe it here: Susan Werner New Non-Fiction Album Review by Karen Iris Tucker Ever since Susan Werner began perfoming a decade ago, sh'e been narrating tales whose protagonists often finds themselves alone, examing their bum luck until it becomes distorted and laughable but still universally familiar. The accessibility of Werner's sotries makes it all the more suprising that the Iowa-bred artist hasn't broken out of the folk circuit. Werner's 5th CD, the self-released New Non-Fiction, continues to display her flair for kistchy cabaret, her penchant for old-time jazz and her mighty, classically trained voice. It also prominently features the 37 year old's wizened humor, as endearing as wrinkles on a widening grin. A veteran of charred romances, Werner now checklists, in "All of the Above", the complex qualities she seeks in a guy: "a Wall Street Wizard in in a pin-striped vest/ a doey eyed Bowie in a little black dress." As on her best albums, the guitarist/pianist tends to forgoe weepy self-reflection in favor of browbeating her loneliness with wit. Werner makes the past seem every bit as colorful as the elusive lovers who occupy her present day thoughts. "Barbed Wire Boys" pays homage to the stoic men of her childhood in the rural Midwest (she now lives in Philadelphia). Like a Nanci Griffith roots tale, replete with mud-caked characters and infused with similar dust-bowl romanticism, the cut betrays Werner's nostalgia for samll-town simplicity. IN it, she fondly recalls the wing-clipped farmers of her youth:"Tough as the busted thumbnails on their weathered hands/they worked the gold plates off thei wedding bands." Werner is equally vivid in illustrating a media-saturated world. In the funky-pop "Shades of Grey", she is clearly confounded by all the gurus: "Be a Christian be a Buddhist be a Billionaire/Be Like Me can't you see." In her frequent battles with life's common perplexities, Werner isn't afraid to let her guard down. Susan Werner plays Joe's Pub Tue 5.
