The acoustics were quite resonant. Catie said that at the sound check, she decided to play some older songs, because they were more plucky (as in plucking guitar strings) and would sound better with those acoustics. She was without glasses (Contacts? Laser surgery?). And without Jimmy (I missed his mandolin). It was just Catie and her guitar, of course she was great, and funny as usual. She even converted some friends of mine, who I dragged there, kicking and screaming. She sang several new songs, so hopefully a new album will be forthcoming as she tries out this new material. One of the new songs was about relationships, the lyrics going something like Its been a bad year, it seems all our friends are breaking up. I never thought it would happen to us. Ill admit to wanting to be free, but realized all that we had, please come back, or dont go, or something along those lines. Autobiographical? She ended the evening with Elizabeth. When the Boston Globe mentioned in a blurb about her, that she sang gay anthems, she decided to write a gay anthem. She didnt want people coming to her shows expecting a gay anthem, and she not having one. She is very accommodating. Shes playing in Arlington, VA next Monday (11/25), I may pop down and catch her again. Why doesnt she ever play in Baltimore? Or, for that matter why do most musical acts pass up Baltimore for DC and Philly? Ah well. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ End of dads-yard-digest V4 #84 ******************************
