I love Thea and I love Phil Ochs, so I've always loved her covering this. I think when she did it at the Scala a few years ago, I almost burst into tears, big girl's blouse that I am. It may well be available on the BBC website, but they've blocked any sites that have audio or video streaming here at work, which is where I used to catch up with most things (intolerable working conditions -- now I know how Victorian mill workers felt, grumble grumble) adam k. > > A couple of minutes before 11 AM today, I turned on > the TV. It was BBC1, The Heaven and Earth Show, > and there was Thea, standing there singing her cover > of Phil Ochs' "When I'm Gone" with Nigel on acoustic > guitar.

If you don't know who Ashely is, you should check out http://ashleymaher.com/ Details are still getting worked out, but Ashley is looking for someplace in CT to do a house concert on Saturday or Sunday. She'll be in Boston Friday and/or Saturday, and NYC on Monday. Drop me a note if you're interested! - -j ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #184 ***************************
