The band, as advertised, *rocks*. I hope they do more shows and learn all the songs in the set. Whether doing the rocking numbers, the quieter folkier tunes, or the jazz stuff, they added just the right oomph and Susan clearly loves playing with them. She was obviously having a great time. I took a bunch of photos throughout the show, a few of which came out (digital cameras can be rather ... idiosyncratic). The lighting kept changing (go figure, the place is inside a theater :), and there was a huge difference in light between where Susan was standing when playing guitar and sitting at the piano. Also, I wanted to get shots of the band, but a.) I never once saw the drummer, he was completely hidden behind the piano from my vantage point and b.) the bassist was in shadow the entire time. All those caveats aside, you can view the photos at: http://www.smoe.org/meth/gallery/script.cgi?stext=&page=14&Show=Show&options=T&options=U&options=W Enjoy! P.S. In case anyone is fretting, all these photos were taken sans flash. People who take flash photos at concerts should be locked in a room for two hours with a hundred strobe lights all set to different frequencies. Just IMHO. :) ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ======================================= (: New England Patriots - Super Bowl XXXVI CHAMPIONS :) HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at World Cafe CDs http://worldcafecds.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 11:33:47 -0800 From: "Ron Rosen" Subject: Re: joe's pub photos (flash) > P.S.

One other note from the Mansfield show... being in Texas, Suze did a brief rhetorical bit on Enron... and how the name itself could now be used as an insult, as such... thusly, playing in the Methodist church hall, as a prelude to "Misery", she mentioned that "In the lytics, there will be a substitution for a.... seven-letter body part... so as to not violate the church charter..." to much laughter... subsequently, the "Asshole in the corner..." became the "Enron in the corner...."

How can anyone think that >their flash >will make a difference when the object is a hundred or more feet away? That's what boggles my mind. People are so stupid. My favorite is when I see people with disposable cameras, sitting in the back of the theater while the artist is about 100 feet away, expecting the resulting photos to be anything but a really overexposed shot of the head of the person directly in front of them. And invariably, when I point this out to them I get a really pissed off reaction. My camera does flash a little red light for the autofocus and light meter. There's nothing I can do about that. But it's not blinding, and I try to make sure the artist isn't looking right at me when it happens. I'm not always successful, but I haven't gotten any complaints yet, and in many cases I've been *right* in front of them the whole time. ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ======================================= (: New England Patriots - Super Bowl XXXVI CHAMPIONS :) HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at World Cafe CDs http://worldcafecds.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 11:48:03 -0800 From: "Ron Rosen" Subject: Re: joe's pub photos (flash) > Silly Ron... lots of cheap instamatic or 35mm cameras flash automatically > with low light conditions... > PB I guess I sort of figured that out after I asked the question. Nice pix, meth. Speaking of bass players, last week I saw Lou Reed on Sessions at West 54th on Trio. It was probably a few years old, if not more. His bass player was Fernando Saunders, who I think produced Last of the Good Straight Girls.

Every single time I try to stream anything that uses it it reinstalls the same program. So it takes about a half hour or more to just get the stream to start and hten it usually experiences some sort of error. I'm sorry to have missed Kellie Linn's radio performance.

Hi, >Dave Van Ronk died at 9:30 in the morning on Sunday Feb 10. This is sad news indeed. :( Dave van Ronk was one of the headliners of last year's Eli Whitney Folk Festival, and as Artist Hospitality Coordinator one of my jobs was to ferry him around New Haven and make sure he had everything he needed that day. I feel honored and privileged to have had the opportunity to meet him, and to see him perform. He wasn't well at that time (in fact, the Festival turned out to have been one of his very last performances), but he was very personable and funny and made the day a lot more fun for all of us. He was a big hit on stage, and made a lot of new fans too. He was a legend, for sure. For those who aren't familiar with his music, I'm sure WFUV will be playing a *lot* of it tomorrow. ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ======================================= (: New England Patriots - Super Bowl XXXVI CHAMPIONS :) HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at World Cafe CDs http://worldcafecds.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 18:01:50 -0800 From: "Ron Rosen" Subject: Re: Dave Van Ronk----R.I.P.
