I began in mid-February when producer/engineer Trina Shoemaker (Grammy award winning engineer who recorded Sheryl Crow, Victoria Williams, Emmylou Harris and others) drove up to Boston from New Orleans with her dog Toby. She and Toby stayed at my house for a few days so that the important bonding could happen: her dog Toby and my new puppy, pug boy Sam. Toby is a gentle proud angel of dog with lots of maturity and Sam is the butt-sniffing, ear-licking, irritating but lovable one. Toby taught Sam to stop going on newspaper and go outside. Trina taught me how to buy and use guitar effects pedals. We (all four of us) were then ready to begin the adventure of creating the new record, tentatively titled My Shirt Looks Good on You. We tracked with my band at Dreamland in upstate NY, a studio in an old rural church converted into a gorgeous recording space. We had twe lve days in this sun streaked stained glass paradise where we lived, ate, tracked, tracked, and tracked. We recorded fifteen songs and then took the tapes (yes, analog all the way) to Q-Division in Somerville, Massachusetts for overdubs. Now we are finishing up mixing at Longview Farms, in central Massachusetts. Thanks to Trina and the inspired playing/singing of Jimmy Ryan, Billy Conway, Billy Beard, Andrew Mazzone, Gail Ann Dorsey, Julie Wolf, Dana Colley, Duke Levine, Caoimhe O9Hara and Kris Delmhorst, the album is sounding fabulous. As Trina says, "the more dogs, the better the record." Or Hilary Clinton, "it takes a village to raise a pug." The record is due out 8/21/01. > >Hopefully within a month, www.catiecurtis.com will be home to a new site including lots of studio and tour photos and reports, itinerary, etc. (Currently catiecurtis.com redirects to the Rykodisc site.) In the meantime, here are some upcoming shows. I am particularly excited about WAM festival at Mount Holyoke College (in Hadley, MA, near Northampton) on 4/28/01. Check out their website, http://www.wamfest.com/ Go to www.musi-cal.com for ongoing, updated concert listings.

Unfortunately, I find myself with an extra ticket for Catie's show tonight at the Iron Horse. Any takers? I'm asking what I paid for it, which is $16 ($15 for the ticket and $1 service fee at the box office). We're hoping to get there early with the hope of getting a good table close to the stage, so you're almost guaranteed a good seat. If you're interested, please reply to my other e-mail address --> dconnel1@nycap.rr.com I'll be checking it until 3 or 3:30 this afternoon. After that I'll be on my way to Noho. Thanks!

Nonetheless, tomorrow is my birthday, and I plan on counting my blessings, including (1) miraculously walking away (along with the guy with whom I collided) from two totally smashed up cars, with hardly a bruise, and (2) my discovery of Catie and her music, of course! (How's that for a segue?) The "stealth" MP3 site ("http://dcs.umd.edu/~mark/catie") that I created some time ago (made possible mostly by the kind contributions of Masaki Asaoka) now includes Deb's excellent boot of Catie's 9/14/99 show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. (Please read the disclaimer on the site before attempting any downloads.) Much thanks to Deb for her recent MP3 contributions and to all of you for your patience. (Deb actually "shipped" me the files well over a month ago.) Hopefully, in spite of my delay, this will eliminate at least some of the hard work of our kind "distribution" volunteers. Enjoy, and remember: Every day above ground is a good day! - -- :[]: Mark Steven Katsouros, Communications Automation Guy || University of Maryland, Office of Information Technology ( ) Bldg. 010, Room 1109A, College Park, MD 20742-4911 (__) (301) 405-4492, mark@dcs.umd.edu, http://dcs.umd.edu/~mark ------------------------------ End of dads-yard-digest V3 #49 ******************************
