Claudine is going to be the European branch, but if there are others outside the US who want the tape, I'm hopeful that you'll be able to come to a satisfactory arrangement with either the person associated with your birthday month. The only stipulation I have is that *no one* can make a profit or *require* a trade -- anyone should be able to get the show by sending 2 blank CD-Rs and an SASE, though it would be nice to arrange a trade if you have something to offer. The quality of this show is excellent, and it was a terrific, talkative performance featuring Kris Delmhorst on fiddle and backing vocals. Here are the branches: Jan - Feb: FoxTrot4170@aol.com Mar - Apr: Lubalibre@aol.com May - Jun: Scott Price Jul - Aug: annars@sas.upenn.edu (Anna R Schwartz) Sep - Oct: Jenn Letourneau Nov - Dec: JAVBOY@aol.com Europe: "Claudine Lapsky" BRANCHES should use the following addresses for overflow; if you receive more requests than you can handle (and please take care of at least the 10 you've committed to), please refer those folks to overflow branches as follows: Jan - Mar: Kalegal@aol.com Apr - Jun: Lynette Lake Jul - Sep: Kpendlum13@aol.com Oct - Dec: JasmineR6@aol.com Original branch announcement with tape description follows. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo >I'm finally ready to tree my excellent boot of Catie's 9/14/99 show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. The show featured Sean Staples on mandolin and Kris Delmhorst on vocals and fiddle (I don't remember the bassist and drummer's names off-hand, but they were excellent too). Here's the track list: > > >Disc 1: >Soulfully >I'll Cover You >Memphis >100 Miles >Fall Away >Troubled Mind >Gave Me Love >Roses >World Don't Owe Me >Stay Up All Night >Patience [Mark Sandman cover] >What's the Matter >Look at You Now >Wise to the Ways > > >Disc 2: >Falling Silent in the Dark >Burn Your Own House Down >Radical >Magnolia Street >Fisherman's Blues [Waterboys cover] >Dad's Yard > > >Yes, disc 2 is short (about 30 min.), and if I find something of similar quality that fills it out I may add it, but don't count on it, I think it stands fine on its own. > > >IMO, "Patience" and "Fisherman's Blues," and "Troubled Mind" with Kris, make this a must for fans. Lots of great banter, too! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 16:51:20 -0500 From: "Jack Gould" Subject: [dads-yard] Does anyone have current tour dates for Catie? Hello, I've checked Musi-Cal and the Rykodisc site, and I haven't found anything. Does anyone know if Catie is currently touring, or if she plans to do so this year?
