["Ethan & Summerset Banks" Subject: Gorka on new Kaplansky CD Hi everyone on this quiet news group: I was pleasantly surprised to get the new Lucy Kaplansky project, "Ten Year Night," in my mail today from Red House Records. The title track gave me shivers. Don't you love an album that does that for you? Excellent harmonies on this record come from John Gorka, Richard Shindell and Jennifer Kimball, along with Lucy herself, who backs herself on a couple of tracks. The tune on which John sings is a waltz. He and Lucy sing so well together. It's a lovely, sad love song. Here are the lyrics. Promise Me by Lucy Kaplansky Let me sit beside you, take a good long look at you I'll memorize you so I always find you Smiling at me in my rear view in the broken white line that takes me from you. chorus: Promise me you'll wait for me And kiss me one more time Give me all your lonely nights I'll keep 'em here with mine I'll keep 'em here with mine. If I could stay in one place I know what I'd do I'd make my living in my love with you But I work on these stages and I live everywhere And it's everywhere that I want you. chorus Listen for me when I'm away I'll be singing to you. It feels like I just got home yesterday Now I'm packed and I'm ready with nothing to say I'm counting the white lines, the measure of road time They're broken in pieces like my heart today. chorus. It's a great record. For the guitar fans out there, Larry Campbell, lately Bob Dylan's touring lead guitarist, does a lot of fine studio work on this one, playing pedal steel and mandolin as well as sigh-inducing electric leads. For those in my neck of the woods -- the D.C./Baltimore/Philly megapolis - -- Lucy is appearing March 25 at the Barns of Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va., and March 26 at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia. Also, April 9 at May's Chapel in Timonium, Md. John swings through with shows April 23-24 at May's Chapel, April 25 at the Delaware Theater Company in Wilmington, Del., and May 14 at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. Lots of fine music coming this way. Peace, Jay Votel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 18:13:25 EST From: ThePsyche@aol.com Subject: Re: Gorka on new Kaplansky CD Hello all. This is a quiet list to be sure! As for my quiet-tude (is that a word?) I have been lost in the new release from singer/songwriter David Wilcox. Called Underneath it is a wonderful CD and my new favorite from this artist. an amazing guitarist and another one of those gifted writers, check it out if you get a chance. On the Gorka front: I am heading out on a Gorka journey the end of this month to see John in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on the 27th. CSPS is the venue. We will be looking for lodgings so if you know the area and a clean, cheap motel email me privately please. This trip is a little over 200 miles, a short one compared to others but all of them refuel the psyche and fill the memory banks. Has anyone seen John lately? Anything new in the show to look forward to? Lets get some action going on this list. Jay, thanks for getting us rolling. We heard about Lucy, and Dave....who else is out there in your CD player? Adios, Bryn ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 21:23:38 -0800 From: "Mary Sansone" Subject: Re: Gorka on new Kaplansky CD I have been trying to decide if I can make the trip to cedar rapids....have decided to plot the mileage and see if I can find a travel companion....saw John 1st and only time last year in salt lake city....have to see him again!! I hope I can find both the new CDs mentioned and have ordered Reunion Hill by Richard Shindell...looking forward to hearing it. No one in St Joe MO has heard of any of my favorite artists (except of course from me).
