They've been kinda busy and stuff, so it took a while for any confirming information to come this way. First and foremost, they want to thank Scubagrrl@aol.com for bringing the Ebay situation with a Patty video to their attention, and the post from Jen Caputo regarding the response she got back from Ebay's customer support. They contacted Ebay and got the auction on the item taken off the web site! They also said ". It's really nice to see how protective and well informed Patty's fans are when it comes to artists' rights." Next, and this is obvious by what I've conveyed thus far, Patty is still with Vector Management even though she and A&M/Interscope parted ways amicably. While Interscope does indeed own the rights to Silver Bell, they still hope it may released someday. :-) As far as the new CD (A Thousand Kisses) that Patty is working on, they've "had interest from several labels, but have not accepted any of the offers so far". Their best guess as to a possible release date would be in the beginning of 2002. While most (if not all) of the scheduled concert dates have been posted here thus far, here's what they fed me: 7/25 - Atlanta, GA - Chastain Park (opening for Emmylou) 7/29 - Alexandria, VA - Birchmere 7/30 - Annapolis, MD - Ram's Head 8/16 - Interlochen, MI - Kresge Auditorium (opening for Emmylou) 8/17 - Ann Arbor, MI - The Ark They said a show or two might be added, but Patty does not planning on doing much touring until the new record is released. Sounds like she's taking advantage of the plus side of all of this (I guess we can call this the plus side) and relaxing at home, writing songs and just recharging her batteries and enjoying life outside of the touring & related stuff of the last few years. - -- Jessica Byers 23373 Highway 93 North ~~~ http://www.geocities.com/amari913 Arlee, MT 59821 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 06:01:00 EDT From: AURALG@aol.com Subject: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ECTO All my love and best wishes to you, you treasured, beautiful, whacky, wonderful list.

Been meaning to get one of theirs for a few years now, the purchase was long overdue. I liked it quite a bit, it reminded me of the early 80s when I was into a lot of music that was in a similar genre. Anyway, I am looking to purchase another one or two of their CDs, but I have a particular song of theirs in mind, and I haven't a clue as to the title nor any lyrics to it, as I haven't heard it in years, and most recently only in a movie. As far as I recall, the song of theirs I am thinking of was in the 1989 film Gross Anatomy, which was a medical school film starring Matthew Modine and Daphne Zuniga (I might add I am NOT 100% sure this song was in fact by the Cowboy Junkies, but I, well...I sure think it was). The song was playing in a bar scene where Modine and Zuniga were slow dancing. It's NOT the Cowboy Junkies cover of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" I am thinking of (which was a "hit" for them in this timeframe) it was another tune, which also got a bit of airplay back then, at least in my area....WOJ, you grew up around my neck of the woods...remember the song?. I might be checking out their show this Saturday night in Poughkeepsie NY after a day in Woodstock (assuming I can get tix), and I figure I'd like to listen to them during the trip, but this one song is at the top of my quest right now. (I also struck out looking for the films' soundtrack either online or in stores, and their official website) Can anyone help? Or do I gotta rent the film to see the end credits? :-) Mike P.S. to Meredith - great post on the 10th anniversary of ecto! :-) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 10:35:00 -0400 From: "glenn mcdonald" Subject: Re: Cowboy Junkies question & a PS to Meth The Cowboy Junkies song in Gross Anatomy was "Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis)", which is on _The Trinity Sessions_. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 14:13:39 -0400 (EDT) From: "Donald G.
