You can't tell me that the band isn't going to take Harvey the RV out for some leaf-peeping in-between all that. :) At any rate, I've already reserved my ticket for the show at the Me & Thee in Marblehead on Oct. 19(my first time there). And I'll definitely be attending the Borders in-store show in Boston on Oct 20(I wonder if they'll play out in the plaza by the tacky Irish famine memorial?). Financial and transportation concerns prevent me from attending the other shows, but I hope other New Enland edheads will attend and write reports. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend. peace Liam _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2001 11:46:49 -0400 From: "Jim Merullo" Subject: Re: The Autumns in New England... I just got a confirmation from the Me and Thee yesterday. I'll be there. I've never actually seen EFO in a coffeehouse. It's either been at a festival, Club Passim (just once), or the Somerville theater. I'm looking forward to this show. I don't suppose the 9/11 Tribute CD will be available by then...

I'll be there. I'm going to try to make it to this show. I'm still waiting to hear about a possible conflict but hopefully I'll be able to make it. Since there's at least three of us going (hopefully, I'll make 3), any interest in getting together for eats before the show? - - rox ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2001 10:48:02 -0400 From: "Shawn McCausland" Subject: Re: The Autumns in New England... It ain't New England, but... I took my family down to the Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach last weekend, where the contestants in the sand sculpture contest who would usually create things with ocean-related themes almost unanimously went with firefighters, policemen, and servicemen themes instead. It was a windy day, and as she attempted to blink out some of the sand that was blowing into her eyes my wife remarked "Virginia in my eyes...." Guess you had to be there. Then on my way to work the other morning I saw an EFO sticker on the back of a delivery van. I guess there's some good in the world after all.

Unless I'm mistaken, The Me And Thee Coffeehouse is a Unitarian Church. Parking is a pain in the butt there. Get there early so you can find it and get good seats in front. It's somewhat difficult to find. At least for me it was....I'll see you all in Clinton at the Lancaster coffeehouse (nice venue). 8 tickets and reserved seating arrived last night! - Jim Raimo ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2001 12:15:51 -0400 From: "MVM" Subject: OT: Songs appropriate for a funeral Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions from your vast knowledge of songs. Maybe others of you have done this already. My dad is dying from lung cancer, and we're planning his memorial service. He doesn't want it to be too sad but wants it appropriately low key, yet a celebration of life. Not necessarily religious, since we'll be having a church funeral as well. I was thinking of using some of these songs, if I could get permission to do so: the intro to "Oh My Brother" from Portable efo Show, "Down to a river" from Connie Kaldor's Small Cafe "Canaan's land" from Kate Rusby's Little Lights CD. Other songs we'd considered include Sally Rogers/Claudia Schmidt "Appalachian Round" Garnet Rogers "John o' Dreams" Pierce Pettis/Dar Williams "Family" Small Potatoes "I will pass this way again" Rankin Family "Rise Again" Aileen Vance "Here I walk" Please forward any other suggestions to me soon. Thanks. Vicki Oh My Brother (Schaefer, Mrs. Jenkins Productions, ASCAP) Oh my brother Won't you stand here beside me We shall carry each other And should your soul grow weary Or the strength leave your bones Oh my brother, I will carry you home Down To A River (Connie Kaldor) There are dinners, there is music There is laughter, there are tears There are memories that go back Over the years There are marks made in a life Like only good friends do Now I must choose to make a mark For the things I loved in you I'll go down to a river And plant a tree Something strong, wild and living Those are my memories And I'll go up to a mountain And sing to the stars Can you hear me Where ever you are And there's phone calls and there's crying And there's clutching to the chest And there's singing songs and throwing dirt And laying down to rest And there's carving words on stone And making church bells ring But the river when it freezes over Still thaws and runs each spring So I will go down to a river And plant a tree Something strong, wild and living Those are my memories And I'll go up to a mountain And sing to the stars Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Where ever you are Do you hear the ones who loved you Who were glad they knew you well Do the hearts you left that miss you Ring like a bell I will go down to a river And plant a tree Strong, wild and living Those are my memories And I'll go up to a mountain And sing to the stars Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Where ever you are Can you hear me Can you hear me Can you hear me Where ever you are Canaan's Land (trad. arr: Kate Rusby & John McCusker) To Canaan's land I'm on my way Where the soul of man never dies My darkest nights will turn to day Where the soul of man never dies Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewell There'll be no tear-dimmed eye Where all is joy and peace and love The soul of man never dies A rose is blooming there for me Where the soul of man never dies It blooms for all eternity The soul of man never dies Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewell There'll be no tear-dimmed eye Where all is joy and peace and love The soul of man never dies A love light beams across the foam Where the soul of man never dies It shines to light the shores of home The soul of man never dies Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewell There'll be no tear-dimmed eye Where all is joy and peace and love And the soul of man never dies My life will end in deathless sleep The soul of man never dies And everlasting joy I'll reap The soul of man never dies Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewell There'll be no tear-dimmed eye Where all is joy and peace and love And the soul of man never dies I'm on my way to that fair land Where the soul of man never dies Where there will be no parting and The soul of man never dies Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewell There'll be no tear-dimmed eye Where all is joy and peace and love And the soul of man never dies Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewell There'll be no tear-dimmed eye Where all is joy and peace and love And the soul of man never dies ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2001 10:05:22 -0700 From: katie stohlmann Subject: Berkeley You know, I could just call the Freight to ask this question but does anyone know if the show onSUnday in Berkeley is in danger of selling out? One of my friends wants to go (yay!) and we don't want to drive all the way from Santa Rosa to find out he can't get a ticket. Anybody konw for sure before I call the Freight? Thanks!! Katie (super psyched for this show, i havne't seen EFO in TWO YEARS!!!) ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V4 #234 *****************************
