In 1990 we traveled to London to attend a Kate Bush fan KonvenTion. I brought my boombox and Happy's tapes with me. I played her at various places (outside a pub, at the youth hostel we stayed at, etc.) for anyone who would stand still long enough to listen, and had some great successes in getting people interested. Still, on-the-fly listenings feel like an audition and are always very stressful for me. For pure listening pleasure that trip, nothing was as nice as strolling on a path alongside the Thames, listening to Kate and Happy and, I think, Jane. Larry Hernandez can back me up on how magical it was. The most *THRILLING* Happy listen I ever had was at the next London Kate Bush KonvenTion in 1994. I don't remember who arranged for it to happen (Uli perhaps?), but the organizers of the KonvenTion (the wonderful Homeground folks!) agreed to play the live "Feed The Fire" because Happy quotes Kate in it. However, the wrong song was queued up and "Summer" started pouring out of the hall loudspeakers instead. *THAT'S* the song to get Kate Bush fan's attention, big time! I think nearly everybody stopped what they were doing and went "whhhhaaa????" It lasted less than 30 seconds, but it was so thrilling to know that she made an impact, even if it was because she was in her "sounds like Kate" mode. Then the song stopped, and "Feed The Fire" was played. That was thrilling too!. V np: "Summer" (ah memories...) Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

September 4, 2001 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Celtic Singer Connie Dover Receives Second Native American Music Award Nomination Kansas City-based Celtic Vocalist Connie Dover has been named a finalist for a 2001 Native American Music Award. "Last Night by the River," from her critically acclaimed CD, The Border of Heaven (Celtic Music on the American Frontier), has been nominated for Song of the Year. The Fourth Annual Native American Music Awards will be held October 20, 2001 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the 3,000-seat Sandia Casino Amphitheatre, owned by the Pueblo of Sandia. "Last Night by the River" is Connie Dover's original song, inspired by a Shoshone love poem she has set to her own Irish-style melody. The recording was produced by Scottish musician Phil Cunningham ("Last of the Mohicans" and "Lewis and Clark"), and features Dover's strikingly beautiful voice accompanied by Cunningham on penny whistle and keyboard, John Catchings on cello, and eagle bone whistle played by Arthur Shortbull. The Native American Music Awards Ceremony (Nammys) has been widely praised for its high production qualities and for recognizing and honoring the outstanding contributions of both traditional and contemporary Native artists in over 30 categories. >From the 130 recordings submitted, final nominees were selected by NAMA's Advisory/Industry membership. Other 2001 nominees include R. Carlos Nakai, Joanne Shenandoah, Robert Mirabel, Joseph Fire Crow and Walela. Winners will be determined through membership ballots and and a national voting campaign open to the general public. The Nammys is one of the only national awards shows that invite the public to participate in the voting process. Ballots are posted on the Awards website at http://www.nammys.com Connie Dover, who is of Cherokee and Mexican descent, is the only artist in the Celtic genre ever to be nominated for a Native American Music Award. In 2000, she was a finalist in the Short and Long Form Video category for the KTWU Kansas Public Television production of her song, "Who Will Comfort Me," from her release, If Ever I Return. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2001 19:08:29 -0400 From: meredith Subject: Re: Where Happy's music has been Hi, Karen wondered: > > Where else has Happy's music been? Wow, this has to be one of the most fascinating questions ever posed here. Happy's music has been: - -- In my room when I was an exchange student in Munich, after woj sent me a tape of _Rhodes I_ and _Warpaint_ - -- Crossing campus from the post office to my next class while back at college, listening to "When The Rain Came Down" for the first time thanks to the "Suspended In Ecto" tape I'd just gotten from Vickie that had the Bartlett/Rhodes stuff on it - -- Christening pretty much every new stereo/CD player I've gotten in the past 10 years - -- In my car as I've logged countless miles Not as cool as Vickie's list (hey, I remember when you played Happy for me in line for that KaTe KonvenTion, god, was it really almost 10 years ago?!), but hey. :) ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2001 20:07:13 -0400 From: Philip David Morgan Subject: The latest from Jane Siberry MUSELETTER . Hello!Good Evening: Jane Siberry fans, take note of the following... Philip David (it's hard right now to focus on the Yukon when the Great Northern Peace Festival is in your own backyard) 9/4/2001 - ----- Original Message ----- From: S H E E B A To: sib@sheeba.ca Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 7:32 PM Subject: MUSELETTER . Hello! Dear Everyone, I hope you had some rest and relaxation time in August. Life changes when you LOOK for things to do. How rare. Too rare. We are moving back into action here at SHEEBA. We were closed in August but we really only shut the door halfway and turned to the man in the chair. Close shave? we asked. Nah, he said. That was all he said. We turned back to our invisible work. Many behind the scenes improvements and good things happening. For example, after deciding to tour as much as possible this autumn, I found that we also had a new CD to release. How did this happen? Well, when looking at the list of songs for the Warner Bros/Rhino 'Siberry anthology' that is being released in March 2002, I realized that there were enough collaborations with other musicians to make a wonderful CD unto itself. So, I culled them from the gathering and went about the complicated job of licensing the masters. To my surprise, everyone came through with enthusiasm and now we have a CD to go along with the tour. It will be called 'City' as in musicians springing up in my life like office towers. The songs sound strangely harmonious together. Like the musicians all got together and planned it in advance without telling me. There will be many changes to the website in the next while - I am finally done fiddling with flow and colours and vitality. I am letting go. Please don't say 'phew, finally'. There was great value for me. I plan to have my own area, though, where I can be silly late at night and then change it with chagrin the next morning when I am feeling more conservative. I am very pleased with the leaps and bounds for SHEEBA that have transpired. Most of them invisible but important for the freedom I am trying to create for myself. There is nothing I'd rather do than to go into the studio tomorrow to record my next 'original' recording but I know that it is coming in the not-too-distant future. In conclusion, it will be a very busy autumn I am considering eating porridge for breakfast. I really hope you enjoy what we have in store for you this autumn (no pun intended). We are always working to incorporate your suggestions - to be a truly responsive, responsible, respiring, reconcilatory, remonstrative, recipe-friendly, raggle-taggle, rubblifying, rumblatory and renegadacious record company.

(Nicole Blackman was the poet/voice on Golden Palominos creepy Dead Inside disc.) neal np: Garden Abstract - Belle de Gama On a more bizarre note, thanks to the person who informed me about that woman posting my work on a website as her own. It was removed and I thought that was the end of it. Now I hear that she is "impersonating" me in NJ and telling young poets that she (or I?) will help get them on tour with Henry Rollins. This woman is has a criminal fraud record, is apparently pathological...and stupid. At 240 pounds she looks nothing like me, and wouldn't you think impersonating a poet whose photo is on the cover of her book and all over her website is a bad choice? In any case, I'm being interviewed for an article about it, and will email the article URL to you in the next newsletter. It's frustrating and upsetting because I work hard at what I do, and to have some freak masquerading at me to defraud young writers is deeply upsetting. All I can say, is don't take any wooden Nicoles... ;-) ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V7 #249 **************************
