She asked me to pass along that she will be doing a "Sophisticated Lady" solo show at the Barns at Wolf Trap on February 13, 2008 (that's a Friday!). Tickets for the upcoming season at the Barns go on sale on Monday, August 11 at 10:00 AM. Hope to see you there and hope everyone is having a great summer.

You now make me feel bad for not writing the FRFF setlist and posting it....so here are highlights{or what I remember of them; now that I'm on early Site Crew, I confess that the ACTUAL fest involves me consuming mass quantities of alcohol....and would entail me carrying paper and a pen...how BULKY!!! Pplus, there was a lotta rain and a mini-tornado, so my mind tends to remember all that more vividly} Kerry'll have it all down, though. =) Blues workshop---I honestly don't remember what they did besides ending it with 'Love me like a Man', which was awesome because Chris Smither{who wrote it} was also part of this workshop and gave them the green light to do it, which Julie said made her very nervous, but she NAILED IT!!!!! Saturday Night Mainstage:{in pseudo-order--first song is correct and I -think- the last is, too--lol!!}I know I am missing some songs, to. ~The Three Fine Daughters of Farmer Brown{which, ok, people....I only saw 2-3 people doing 'The Joe' besides myself????!!!! C'mon, y'all!! It's a chestnut---you know the moves!!!!!!}with Jake Armerding ~Calling{Shawn Colvin??} ~Get Down On Your Knees and Pray{Del McCoury}--which they prepared for Gospel Wake-Up Call and Robbie decided 'we're doing it tonight; if we don't know it tonight, then we won't know it tomorrow, either!!!" ~And the Rain Crashed Down ~Eddie's solo{KILLED IT!!!!! Man, oh MAN!!} ~Tom Burleigh's Dead ~The Train Song{again with Jake Armerding} {I totally missed something in there....Kerry????} Gospel Wake-Up Call:{again with Jake helping them out} ~Great Day{shocker!!} ~Get Down On Your Knees & Pray ~Hard Times{ok, I know I messed that up...what is the name and who did it??} ~Operator{with the entire ensemble} Ok...so the mini-tornado I mentioned? Happened Sunday afternoon..during Robbie's Family Stage appearance. So I got to experience it with Robbie, Noah, Mike, James, and LOTS of screaming, panicky kids and their parents. Mike was holding onto one of the tent poles{as were several parents} because we saw one of the festival tents go down completely and the dining tent went 1/2 down. Water was streaming in and the winds, I believe, they say got up to 70-75 MPH. Funstuff!!! Before all that, Robbie DID manage to get through: ~There's a Carp in the Tub ~Chicken Lips ~PART of Water, a new song he wrote recently......irony, anytone?? After that, it started to get bad, he packed up, the Fest lost power, we stayed in the tent for a while, then they announced that another cell of what we'd just experienced was on its way in 1/2 hour or so, so we all went towards cars/safety. For the firstt time in its 20-year history, the festival closed early. I'll tell you this, folks; it was a Falcon ridge like no other -I've- experienced! It was truly amazing that there were no casualties and I must commend my fellow FRFF Site Crew members and the other volunteers who made what could have been crazy and almost riotous just a walk on the farm. GO TEAM!!!! That all being said, it didn't bode well for Falcon Ridge itself; the downed tents, vendors getting in late because of rains on Wed & Thurs then having to close early and, of course, other factors is causing some concern about next year and if there WILL be an FRFF. Anne Saunders has info on the website at falconridgefolk.com and they've actually set up a Tornado Relief Fund on there where people can donate. Please~if Falcon Ridge is dear to your hearts, if you think fondly of warm summer nights sitting on that hill and having the music wrapping itself around you under those fabulous stars, I implore you to go and make a donation...whatever you can afford...to save our 'home' and make sure there's a next year. Thanks!!! NOW---for Walleye's question: Will EFO still be putting out records in 10 years? I sure hope so!!! I guess only time will tell..... Damn--where is my Magic 8 Ball when I need it???!!! peace, love, & martinis from here in Philly, ~Shelly~ - ----- Original Message ----- From: "johnathan vienneau" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 11:08 PM Subject: RE: EFO/GBS concert - 8/22 > I remember back in 2001-2002, I would post on this list everyday.

The first one was all new material (All The Time In The World) and the second was of cover tunes (Hogging The Covers). They raised a lot of money and also got a big donation that put it over the top. When Ellis sent out his request, I liked the way he presented it. I talked to Julie at the FRFF and the Birchmere show was a go for 3 days in January 2009. It will be the same weekend as the 2008 show which was the Friday, Saturday & Sunday prior to the MLK holiday. cheers............
