It's the beginning of the show Dar nerves.  She warmed
up right away, and the crowd warmed up to her fast as
well.

And she mentioned afterwards that she most likely will
return to the UK this summer and next December!

I shouted out that one. <G>

I loved it, of course. :)  I'm writing a full rev iew,
which will go to one of the webzines I write for.  I
was less sure about Jim Bryson, though -- the opening
act.  I think he has potential, but...

That long?  Wow. I have tickets already, yes, I do!!! 
The only drag is that it's a work day, and I can't
take off.  I wonder how long the queue will be...  I
will get there asap after work.

I also have tickets to Melissa Etheridge at the London
Dominion -- the Saturday after IG!  IG and Melissa in
the same week. :)  I'm now broke... ;)

Btw, I went into London last night to see Bill Jones
at the Borderline.  I've been reading all about her
(yes, Bill is short for Belinda), and I have her CDs;
I've wanted to see her live for about a year.  She has
an incredible voice.  Sometimes it seems a little too
sweet (she reminds me of Cara Dillon), but she can
handle the aggressive numbers.  She's into traditional
music; some of it is updated in a Fairport/Steeleye
sort of way.  She also did a couple of covers last
night -- Carole King, Kate Bush (she admitted that as
a teen, there were two years that she wailed about the
house singing only Kate Bush), Andy Irvine, and Buffy
Ste. Marie. 

The title track from her latest full-length album,
*Panchpuran*, is one a new benefit album, *Article 14*
- -- monies going to funds for asylum seekers, etc.

Opening for her was Sam Genders, an up and coming
singer-songwriter from the Midlands.  He didn't
impress me at first, but as he grew more comfortable
with his set, I found myself liking him.

hello all, and please change my email for ectodigest as well as any one out
there that wants my personal email, please note...cyo@landoftheblind.com
the old teleport address will be dust soon and I hate to miss any digests.
Thank you. 

Thank you also everyone who showed up to support me at Treesit, the movie
is great, BYW, and I suggest anyone interested in learning about the
Redwoods, Julia Butterfly, Pacific Lumber and what is happening in Northern
California (which affects us all, even in the east) to contact them, for a
copy, a showing in your home, a "treeparty" whatever. It is beautiful,
educational and amazing what these people are doing. peace this Christmas
to you all, Cyoakha, Land of the Blind, activist, shamanic fool,

Subject: "Hearing Voices"

I just got this Will Ackerman (Windham Hill) CD today, on which Happy has 
the first track, "Before We Left This All Behind". Yummy vocals, as usual. 
:-) I hope this helps her get a little more exposure, too. The Auntie 
Social URL is in the liner notes. :-)

The rest of this album is superb too! Well, I would've bought it just for 
Happy's track; but I saw that Heather Rankin is one of the other vocalists 
on the album, so *that* was a plus (I am a BIG fan of The Rankin Family/The 
Rankins!). I can see I am going to be playing this CD a lot!

Subject: Susan McKeown/Johnny Cunningham concert video available as a webcast

The Kennnedy Center in Washington has a video archive of its past
performances available at:

http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/millennium/archive.html#search

There is a video of a Susan McKeown/Johhny Cunningham performance from
2000 available (55 minutes). I can't figure out the exact URL since it's
framed, but you can do a search. I was sad not to be able to see Susan
at her performance here in Connecticut tonight, so finding this was a
nice surprise.

I see that Susan and Johnny are performing there again this coming
Thursday at the Millennium Stage (free, 6:00 p.m.).

They seem to have videos of scads of other performers in their archives,
everyone from Jennifer Kimball to the U.S. Field Band Army Chamber
Ensemble.

*gasp*

It is for such endeavors that the Gods granted unto mere mortals the
power to "View Document Source". :-)
