Thanks Neile for the info in the last digest re. Sam.  Yes, I love "43
Minutes" too, some really beautiful music on there.

Someone (sorry, can't recall who, so I apologise) said in reply to my
message about the Happy release being put back that it's been a long
time since the last recording.  Well, I guess it could be worse - at
least Happy hasn't left half a decade between albums.  When's that new
Kate Bush LP coming out....? ;)

Subject: Jonatha Brooke in Vancouver, BC

Tuesday night I was fortunate enough to see Jonatha Brooke in concert at
The Purple Onion, in Vancouver, BC's Gastown district.  The place was
rather empty, particularly for St. Patrick's Day, which I guess is not good
news for Jonatha's cause, but it was great news for me, as I was able to
sit on the dance floor directly off the stage, and enjoy Jonatha's entire
performance just a few feet from her.

Jonatha is an attractive woman, an awesome singer, and a great performer.
Her positive energy and amicable personality spilled like liquid smiles all
over the stage and onto the room, and every one there seemed to be happy
and enjoying themselves as they listened to and viewed Jonatha's performance.

Jonatha would do ballerina-like stretches in between songs; she would tease
us with nearly a-capella renditions of lounge standards such as "Feelings"
and "Muskrat Love"; and she would share with us some of the insights of her
compositions.  At one point she noticed a Disco-era crystal ball on the
ceiling, and demanded that it be turned on for good cheers.  At another
point she, in a vary serious pose, asked: "are there any questions?"  To
which some dude from the audience yelled: "what's your name?"  To which she
coolly replied:  "Jonatha Brooke; and I am a girl", all while doing that
thing she does with her eyes...  (look at the top, left corner of the back
of the "10 cent wings" jewel box to see what I mean).

She was backed by a three-member band.  Ingrid Graudins, who sings back-up
in the "10 cent wings" disc, was great at the keyboard and back-up vocals.
There were also a great drummer and a great bassist, but I did not catch
their names.  And I do mean great; they were not mere accompaniment, but
could be seen, and heard, working out a sweat as they added their own
contributions to the great music emmanating from the stage.  Ever pay
attention to the bass work in "crumbs"?

Jonatha played acoustic guitar on some of the songs, and a very
cool-looking electric guitar on others.  And she just sang, well, more like
"interpreted" with full-body motions on "10 cent wings", as Ingrid whaled
on the Kurzweil 2000 unit.  The bassit swapped basses here and there.  The
drummer had a drum set, which he stroke with sticks, brushes, and bare
hands; he also played a certain percussion instrument, an Eastern-looking
drum (as in Far East, not Massachusetts), on one of the songs.

I followed an ectophile's lead (Meredith, perhaps), and after the gig went
up to the stage and, as I had never done before, snatched the set list from
Jonatha's position; here is a fac-simile:

		JONATHA BROOKE SECRETS AND LIES TOUR

		2+2
		WEST P.
		BLOOD
		SACRED
		STILL PT.
		CHOICE
		IS THIS ALL
		CRUMBS
		CUZ I TOLD
		LAST INNOCENT
		ANGEL
		10 CENT
		NO BETTER
		SECRETS
		CHARMING
	----------------------------------------
		SO MUCH
		ANNIE

I found out that there were some folks from Universal, MCA's new owner,
present at the gig, so I guess this was not so much a money-making gig as
it was some kind of record company promo show.  As I said, I feel a little
bad for Jonatha that the place was not packed.  But I myself was in heaven,
sitting there on the floor, leaning against a pillar, with a fuzzy navel in
hand (the drink, not the thingie), and taking it all in as Jonatha and her
band performed just a few feet from me.  It was a great show, and I came
home on a natural high.

I must once again thank Cheri Villines (where the heck are ya, Cheri?) for
having introduced me to ecto, and to you all for your recommendations,
comments, and concert write-ups.  Over the last couple of months I have
come to discover a lot of wonderful music, and wonderful musicians.  And
seeing Jonatha Brooke "up-close and personal" on tuesday night has been the
cherry-pick of my musical year.

where???

Yes there is, it's called dog dreams, I believe, available in bounce or
digest.  Covers her solo work as well as her work with the Story--it looks
like some of the songs on her set list were from this earlier era.  Not sure
of the exact info, but I'm sure someone else can fill you in on that...

Heh heh.  Funny thing I heard about Chantal Kreviazuk while being forced to
listen to mainstream radio the other day--the local dj who obviously hadn't
a clue was just calling her "Chantal" as if everybody knew exactly who she
was.  I smirked as I realized it was more likely because the dj couldn't
pronounce the last name...

Uh...Universal (as in the movie studio) and MCA have always been the one and the
same company. It's just a name change.

If anyone has not seen "Wings of Desire", run out RIGHT NOW and rent it!
And while you're there, rent "Bleu" (sometimes packaged as "Blue") as
well.

I'm not much into who is who is the movie-making industry, and was just

Hi, kids ;-)

I started this thread on FTE, but since ectophiles are *the* best source of
musical information, I thought I'd post it here, too, and ask for your
additions of musical artists who *kind of sound like* other musical artists.

If you like Lisa Loeb, then you'll probably like Sarah Masen.

If you like Billie Myers, then you'll probably like Tanita Tikiram.

If you like Jonatha Brooke, then you'll probably like Jennifer Kimball and/or
Lynne Saner.

More ideas, please......

Here's the good news, at last: Heather's new album - called "Siren" - will
see the light of day some time in June this year. In the weeks before that
a single, "London Rain", will be released.
The new album is produced by Felix Tod, Youth and John Kelly and mixed by
Andy Wallace. Tod and Youth also produced Heather's previous studio album
"Oyster".
Promoting her new album Heather will go on a world tour again, starting
summer this year. She'll also appear on the Lilith Fair festival.

Live dates and band are still to be confirmed. Also, further details

Cole is one of *the* most musically talented artists I've ever heard and it
just makes me angry that some narrow-minded people can't accept her as she is.
Sure, maybe she's *different* because she chooses not to shave her underarm
hair, but who cares?  What does that have to do with her music? 

I hate seeing her wonderful musical performing talents being overshadowed by
such a stupid and shallow thing.......

Paula Cole?

Hi all,

    Cindy Lee Berryhill invites Ectophiles in these Pacific
Northwest & CA areas to join her for an evening of 
musical merryment & hilarity at these upcoming shows:

 Wed. April 8. at E.J.'s, Portland, Or. 
 Thurs. April 9 at Crocodile Cafe, Seattle, Wa.
 Sunday April 12 at Hotel Utah, San Francisco, Ca. 

   These are primarily solo acoustic shows. Also, anyone
within reasonable distance of Los Angeles should do whatever
is needed to get yourself to CLB's "Farewell to the Garage
Orchestra" gig at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles on Saturday
March 27th. This show is being filmed & recorded and
will no doubt be a very memorable night!

     Wish I could get to any of these shows, but alas, I'm on
the other coast.... Cindy Lee did mention a tour
is being put together for May, with dates in NYC, Boston,
Arlington & various other East Coast major cities, though.  :-)
    More info as I get it. Please contact the venues about
current schedule if additional info is needed.   

           Best wishes,   Alan

	Well, that's good news!  Maybe they'll give her some jeans that fit!
	I saw Mary Lou at the Troubadour in L.A. on Wednesday; her jeans (which
did NOT look like Levis) were the hip-hugger/bell bottom too-short
variety; they didn't fit and slid down twice during the show.
Notwithstanding, her persona confidently filled the stage; she seemed
poised for fame and bigness.  I hear reports that MTV is about to make
her the "next big thing."  Elliot Smith (hidden under a wool blue
watchcap, to follow through on the "fashion thread") joined her for a
song.  Miz M'Lou predicted he would "kick some @ss" at the Oscars on
Monday (gee, ya think The Titanic might win some awards?).  She is a lot
of fun to watch and listen to, although I can't put her in the pantheon
of greats for her voice or lyrics.  But that's me.

Last night, I heard Aifa Wells at Spaceland in L.A.  Expect big things
from this one.  She DOES have the vocal chops for greatness.  She's
unsigned, but talking to Mercury right now.  Gerry Perez and I
approached her and her manager about doing one or more Living Room Tour
shows in the near future, and she seems amenable.  A lovely person, too!
Keep you eyes and ears open for her.
