You can't imagine what a comfort your words have been to me and to Elise and to close friends of Dave who are also on this list. Several of us are working on the Portland memorial. We had a very difficult time locating an appropriate venue on such short notice, and my not being home to scout out the venues didn't help matters any. The memorial is TENTATIVELY scheduled for 6:30 pm Friday, August 16 at Cathedral Park in north Portland. I have to jump through a few more administrative hoops before I can confirm this. Sit tight and I'll be back with an update shortly. I have found that when grief strikes hardest, I can still sing. This is a miracle to me. Singing was always a kind of salve for Dave and me when times were tough. Harmonizing on stage was about a bigger, grander alignment, and it never failed us. That it continues to heal, and keeps him close, well -- what a wonderful gift. Someone asked whether I would perform at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. The answer is yes, I plan to be there for a tribute to Dave, which I believe happens early Saturday evening. At the very least, I will play first and last in the set and other performers will contribute their versions of Dave Carter's songs. I am still in awe of Eddie from Ohio's heartbreaking version of "Farewell to St. Dolores" and Chris Smither's gritty "Crocodile Man." I can't wait to see who does what at Philly. Dave would be so, so proud. In peace, in gratitude: Tracy ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DAVE CARTER & TRACY GRAMMER http://www.daveandtracy.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 03:00:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Mike Matthews Subject: Today's your birthday, friend... i*i*i*i*i*i i*i*i*i*i*i *************** *****HAPPY********* **************BIRTHDAY********* *************************************************** *************************************************************************** ********************* Happy Rhodes (no Email address) ********************* *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Happy Rhodes Mon August 09 1965 HolyGhost Michael Stevens Sat August 12 1967 For Sale or Lease Loretta Pontillo Tue August 15 1978 Leo Queen of the Jungle Martin Dougiamas Wed August 20 1969 Positive Tori Amos Thu August 22 1963 Leo Sam Warren Tue August 22 1961 Leo Henk Van Wulpen Sat August 22 1970 Leo Kerry White Wed August 22 1951 Exact Leo/Virgo Don Gibson Wed August 26 1959 Virgo Marcel Rijs Mon August 31 1970 A rose growing old Meredith Tarr Wed September 01 1971 Virgo Scott Zimmerman Mon September 04 1972 Virgo Mike Mendelson Fri September 04 1964 Virgo Richard Dean Wed September 06 1967 Virgo David Blank-Edelman Sat September 09 1967 Neon - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 00:30:10 -0700 (PDT) From: WretchAwry Subject: Cool Happy mention in odd place I thought this was pretty nice. In an eBay auction for a Future Bible Heroes (Magnetic Fields) CD, the description includes this bit (talking about a song called "You Pretend to Be the Moon"): - --- Thus the song, embodying what it wittily ridicules, builds on the complexities of other studio eccentrics, prodigies, and auteurs--I think of Brian Wilson, Joe Meek, Warren Defever, the Aphex Twin, Roddy Frame, Happy Rhodes, Momus--yet suggests a future of innovation. - --- It can be found here (and no, it's not my auction): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=898658332&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 07:30:11 -0800 From: deltufjp@magpage.com Subject: Re: kym brown New York dates Thanks Woj, you're right on all counts, the Wednesday show will be at the CBGB Gallery and she plans to play 45 minute sets at both venues.

Sandoval's band includes My Bloody Valentine's Colm O'Closoig on drums, Raymond Richards and Mark Lightcap (Acetone) on guitar, Alan Browne on bass, and Nicole Presley on backing vocals and keyboards. The famously shy chanteuse doesn't get out much, so if you're in the mood for an ethereal experience and you're pissed they tore down Mulholland Drive's Club Silencio to make way for a Yoshinoya Beef Bowl, by all means lend Ms. Sandoval your ears, but make sure she returns them before you leave.

Can't wait to hear what the album will be like--and a possible house concert tour--very very exciting! Somehow the fact that Victoria Williams released a new album on Tuesday slipped by me--especially since its an album I've been waiting for--an album of her covers--Victoria's covers are always superb and I'm looking forward to hearing this. The album--Victoria Williams Sings Some Old Songs has the following track listing: 1. Moon River 2. Blue Skies 3. And Roses and Roses 4. Over the Rainbow 5. My Funny Valentine 6. Keep Sweeping Cobwebs Off the Moon 7. I'm Old Fashioned 8. As Time Goes By 9. Someone To Watch Over Me 10. Mongoose 11. (Do You Know What It Means) To Miss New Orleans Looks pretty cool--may have to go out and buy this today. Jeff n.p. Rites of Spring for Four-Hand Piano - Fazil Say n.r. Minions of the Moon - Richard Bowes (Jonathon Carroll fans should check this out!) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 22:42:47 EDT From: Jessweiser24@aol.com Subject: Noe Venable Discovered her tonight... apparently she did a bunch of dates on a recent Ani tour. Liked what I heard on the web quite a bit. Not sure who to compare her to... she has a beautiful soprano voice. Check it out :) www.noevenable.com www.jessicaweiser.com | www.aftersilence.net new album AFTER SILENCE available now!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2002 00:18:37 -0400 From: c waite Subject: Cambridge, MA housing for Happy (and others) when touring in the area Hey all- I wanted to send this in Happy's general direction. I checked out her updated site and noted that she might be interested in doing living room concerts. I would love to host shows in my lovely little attic, but alas! my elderly landlady lives on the bottom floor. I can at least offer a place to sleep if she is doing a concert locally. I live in Cambridge, near Central Square. Similarly, other artists playing in the area that are overwhelmed by the cost of lodging and would like a place to sleep for the night, just drop me a line to see if I'll be in town. In other news, I've been listening to Rainer Maria quite a bit. The album is A Better Version of Me. I find their softer music arrangements remind me of Red House Painters. Some of the singing reminds me of Suddenly Tammy! + Blackgirls. (Atropine) They can be a bit nostalgic/angsty. (Artificial Light) The web page is http://www.rainermaria.com/ (I think they sound far better on the CD than on the samples I downloaded.) They do sound "young", but I've quite enjoyed listening to them. :) - -Christine :) ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V8 #221 **************************
