Subject: [dads-yard] The new cd

Hey,
    Does anyone know if there will be any pre-orders taken on the new cd? So 
that we can have it in our sweaty palms by Aug. 21? Any fancy duds for the 
new cd, as Dar did with "The Green World"?
    I want to get one for my best friend -- because she deserves the best!
    Have a great time around here for a week or so. I'm on vacation, not too 
sure how much mail access I'll have, but I'll play catchup when I get back!

Subject: [dads-yard] Catie CDs at work

Today I brought in Crash Course in Roses and Truth From Lies to work- Canine 
Country Day School (doggie daycare) in Manchester, CT.  Besides my coworkers 
absolutely loving Catie's music, I'd have to say that the dogs were on their 
best behavior(especially a pug  :)  while Catie's music was on!!!!  and, 
thats real hard to do with 25 dogs running around the place- LOL.  My 
coworkers now want Catie's music and I'm sure the dogs would too if they had 
the money!

just thought I'd share-

this compares to when I was in school-working at the ice rink on campus and 
was playing Melissa Ferrick -I thought I was alone in an icerink...and then I 
walked down the hall right when she was singing, "get down on your knees and 
please me......" and there were some very official looking people...I just 
pretended like nothing was going on...hehe

Hey everyone!  Oooh baby, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Lucinda Williams, two
of my very favorite red hot country rock stars!!!  Well, okay, what red hot
country *should* be... They are rock stars though - I don't swoon for just
anyone.  Both their new albums are outstanding.  I do agree with Deb
though, kind of a disappointment to not get something as quintessential as
Car Wheels.  I do love hearing Lucinda's voice though.  On a related note,
anyone an Eliza Gilkinson fan?  I heard her cd at a bar months ago and am
now coming around to investigating her more to pick up a cd.  I think she
sounds rough and edgy and smokey and real, just like Lucinda does.

So, news news news!  I finally get to see Veda Hille this weekend!  There
were a number of you on the list that recommended her some time ago.  I'm
very much looking forward to the house concert and am contemplating getting
a cd.  Suggestions???

By the way, some time back a few of you also recommended Tegan and Sara.  I
saw them open for Rufus Wainright and they were great.  Great chemistry
with each other and with the audience, great harmonies, great songs.  They
do have the Ani energy and one of them blew me away with her guitar playing
licks.

Okay, some Catie content.  This has been mentioned before, but I would like
to add that I don't remember laughing quite so much as when I saw Miss Folk
America (on video for us unfortunate folks living no where near Boston).
For those who are familiar with the Boston area folk music scene, or even
just the folk scene nationally, Faith Soloway (www.faithsoloway.com) hits
all the buttons that make the video worth seeing:  special cameo
appearances, male vs. female folk singers,  folk and pop sections at the
record store, Club Passim.  And Catie of course, acts likes herself,
showing us once again why she's so likable.

Enjoy the rest of June everyone.

Take care,
Tawni
