I was lucky to get a spare tape in a VTR in time. I post the Charlie Rose schedule on my web site at http://www.interbridge.com/lineups.html The schedule sometimes changes at the last minute due to breaking news events, but a CR staffer does e-mail me lineups on a daily basis so it's fairly accurate. Also, many PBS stations rerun CR during the day (KQED here in the SF Bay Area airs it at noon, I think), so if you miss the late night show, you often have another chance. Personally, I thought it was a pretty uncomfortable interview...I cringed when Charlie asked her, "Tori, do you make love (several seconds' pregnant pause)...to the piano?" Tori seemed oddly tranquilized, not lively or animated at all. - --Sue Trowbridge * albany, california trow@slip.net * www.interbridge.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 11:41:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Damon des Jumeaux Subject: Re: Kym Brown mp3s john drummond exclaimed: >Thank you SO MUCH, Damon, those mp3s are absolutely >amazing and beautiful... and fun to record! it was a bit of a new experience for me... up until the ectofest recordings i'd pretty much been oblivious to the whole mp3 craze. i still am, really, but it was interesting to delve into some of the stuff behind it. also, it sounds like kym is quite taken with the idea of having future concerts recorded in the same way, so there may be more coming! that's great about `galatea'... must be a real thrill! :) ...and andrew fries wrote: > Second that!

NOVEMBER 5 FRIDAY A shared bill with JONATHA BROOKE(formerly of the Story and completely amazing songwriter and performer and total rock star *hee*...)at HARPER COLLEGE. Here’s what ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE had to say about her: “Jonatha Brooke is clear folk clarity cut with pure rock opacity. Her vocal pitch is spectacular. Her melodies unwind and detail themselves at unhurried rhythmic paces and turns like “Is This All” and “Always” evoke Virginia Wolf’s personal odysseys and Audrey Hepburn’s right sublety......The world hasn’t heard the end of her!” ROLLING STONE 2/18/99 Doors open at 7pm Reserved Seating Only ($15) Box Office 847.925.6100 (Visa/Mastercard) 1200 W.

Yes, thank you Damon (and Laur). The mp3s are great!

That would be really wonderful, since it'll be the closest I get to seeing her live until she makes the trek to NYC.
