There is a motel around the corner... in my day it was owned by Holiday. Troy has a tiny central core, and travel by foot is as possible today as it was in 1870 when the city was thriving. It seems about that long since I was there. Mrs. Ditto and I are both refugees. I'm now in my 11th year "down on the farm." If any of you travelers wish to bed down in the country for the night, we have room. Travel to DeWitt Pond requires a car. We're 60 miles south of Troy at the 42nd parallel.

I don't know if those artists are influences per se, but I can see how you detect stylistic similarities. Laurie Anderson has always been a fave of mine, but I never thought of her as "funky". I think of Happy now as a "funkified" (when she wants to be, of course)..."Proof" is one proof. I can't keep from dancing or at least moving in time to that infectious beat.

Good work!I don't think I have shared my story about local college radio...but here it is. I turned my friend Damon Young (of the Changelings) onto MWABT (and Happy) and asked him if he could recommend any local radio d.j.'s to send a copy to. So I sent a copy to Michael Overstreet of student station WRAS in Atlanta...Michael is now p.d. or m.d. said Damon. He also hosts the goth/darkwave/indie show "Dead Air". So last time I saw Damon, he tells me that he was visiting Michael during "Dead Air", and there's Happy's cd lying there, it's cued up, and when Damon asks Michael about it, he says "I *love* this cd!" Then Michael proceeds to play on air "100 Years", followed by a track from the new Changelings cd, which sorta freaked out Damon, 'cause he feels Happy's production is so much better than theirs (which is technically accurate, as good as Changelings are ...but it sure was sweet of Damon to acknowledge this!). I think its kinda funny to imagine Happy being played on a mostly goth show...I would love to hear her in the mix, if only I could stay up that late! :-) Anyway, that's a local/Atlanta college radio story. Hey, Stuart M....you may want to call WRAS sometime and request Happy...whether "Dead Air" is on or not! (Hint, hint!)

Someone here said that she allows photography, but requests you send her a copy. Many musicians have the same policy regarding recordings. With so few shows, in such a limited geographical area, you might thing that she would be simpathetic to allow the show the have a larger (non-realtime) audience. Does anyone know where Happy stands on this? Just curious: Is anyone is recording Happy's performances?

Marty ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1998 13:06:57 EDT From: Riphug@aol.com Subject: Re: Email from wendylands.com Ok, ok, ok......I'll try......I just put on Wendy's cd (which, btw, is a multi- media thing) and I'll type up my thoughts as I listen: 1. Angels and Ordinary Men.....starts out with a little male chanting stuff....then Wendy comes in with this kind of whispery voice on.....the chorus is just so emotional-sounding to me: "Love give us time to begin again, for we all are angels & ordinary men" 2. Trouble, Time & Tears.....an easy-paced folk song...nice amount of vibrato....has moments which remind me of Jewel, Shawn Colvin, Leah Andreone, and Olivia Newton-John (now aren't you sorry you asked for comparisons? ) 3. Little Sins......now this song is a little more rockin', but still fairly slow ....and the more I listen to Wendy, the more I'm reminded of Leah Andreone (having just listened to Leah's new album yesterday).....I think it's the range and the little break in the voice thing they both have..... 4. Graceless......a really slow, quiet song.....this Leah stuff is starting to bother me.....I definitely like Wendy better than Leah, though......and I like Wendy's songwriting better, too 5. Sanctuary.....slow, pretty, sounds like a cross between pop and country 6. One Love......I like this one a lot....."It's so romantic, so damn tragic, all this madness for one love." 7. Like Oxygen......quite a rockin' song (don't you love my descriptions?)... 8. Age Old Thing....cool banjo and dobro introduction ;-)......one of those sexy, bluesy kind of songs......and Wendy does a nice soulful job on it..... I can imagine Bonnie Raitt covering this one. 9. Best of Me......a fast poppy little song....one of those *happy* tunes ;-) 10. Polarized......Wendy starts this one a capella and eventually the guitars join in....this one is more like Angels and Ordinary Men....less like Leah....more like Shawn Colvin....."'cause I've spent too much time picking up the crap, picking up the pieces, breaking my back...." 11. Calling......kind of a pretty, slow, inspirational song...."Take my hand and I'll and I'll and I'll fly away with you..." Ok....that's the best I can do.....and don't pay attention to those Leah comparisons if you're not a Leah fan....like I said before......just trust me!

If there's one thing that turns me off more than anything it is this commercialization of sexuality that seems so rampant. Much rather see P.J.Harvey with hair dripping motor-oil than in a tight red dress (though I do think sometimes it's supposed to be funny). I sometimes do not buy a CD that others have raved about just because of the cover, or because of some ad or something. Sometimes I break down and get it anyway - but if there are two people I've heard about here and I'm deciding which to get, the sexy cover's the sure turn-off. I think that an artist *CAN* be sexual and speak / talk of sex in the music *without* doing this "crass commercialization". I haven't quite figured out what it is that triggers this negative reaction for some images and not others - but I think it comes down to a gut feeling that some marketer is pushing the sex, or throwing the naked chick on the front to get a few (few hundred thousand?) horny guy purchases on the cheap. I'm no prude, but I do resent what I take to be one of the highest and most sacred forms of human expression and reducing it to a swash of lip gloss, photo-enhanced made-up eyes and a swath of flesh which conforms to standards designed by the cosmetics, plastic surgery, diet, and clothing industries.

Sheesh. Did I say enough inflamatory > stuff here or not? I've got more, just *ask* me! ;-) Richard, I know just what you mean. Women's sexuality has been used to sell so many products that at this point it's almost impossible for me to appreciate a female performer projecting even *healthy* sexuality as part of her act. It's been spoiled for me. Actually, I think mature, raw, female sexuality would scare a lot of people and not promote sales - she'd be lusty, after her own pleasure, and not look airbrushed or cosmetically enhanced. Maybe she'd even have some body hair and flesh on her bones! In other words, she'd look like an adult rather than a child. But since most of us have been trained off the ability to see the mature female body as sexy, we'd just miss it, or maybe even find her repulsive. It's a sad state of affairs.
