I was a NanciNetter for years (since 94) but had to streamline my lists! A couple of observations of NNers: they're fans in the truest sense; fanatical in their dissection of Nanci and her songs. The other is that they're incredibly knowledgable. There's folks on there who know soooo much about folk music. I'm indebted to the NN because they're the reason I got from Nanci to Dar to The Nields to TK. Without Nanci, I'd have never found TK... On CWH, I enjoy it, I really do. I think Nanci has already made her best album (Flyer for my money) so it's always a bitter-sweet event when a new record comes out. I *knew* there'd be fightin' on the NN when "Shaking Out The Snow" was recorded as it was - it's different, but good different to my mind. There was this kind of debate when Blue Roses For The Moons came out too, and OVORToo for that matter. I love Pearl's Eye View, even if Maura had no part in it and I didn't know the story behind the song, it's still a great tune. There's a few tracks that I could never listen to again, but in the main it's a great CD. My favourite track is "Midnight In Missoula". Why? It's a great "classic Nanci" song, but it also evokes great memories of a pre-FR trip to Boston last year. I was driving out of Boston and I called Jangly Sheila and asked for a good radio station to listen to for my drive West. I tuned to the station she gave me and TK were playing (!!!) and then were followed bu Nanci singing MIM... I like it out East...

Even if you're not within broadcasting range, you can give it a listen on the web: http://www.wumb.org/. WUMB (especially Dave Palmatier) LOVES The Kennedys (their favorite track seems to be the Orange Blossom Special medley from Positively Live, with the live version of River of Fallen Stars following close behind). It seems like no matter when I tune in, they inevitably play P&M. We are indeed quite spoiled here in the Northeast. As for CWH, it doesn't do an awful lot for me; it actually makes me unbearably sad to listen to it, though I don't know why. I also MUCH prefer P &M's version of Pearl's Eye View. Sounds like I have to get Flyer -- my Nanci collection is very rudimentary, and I'm still very new to her. As a result, I daren't show my face yet on NanciNet. :) Peace, Jangly Sheila who taught herself "It's a Hard Life" on guitar Looking everywhere for someone else to know Though all the wise ones tell me that real is slow I'm in such a hurry although time is going by fast.... ~ Nerissa Nields Check out the Kennedys' Official Home Page: http://www.KennedysMusic.com/ Fab photos, the Official tour diary, dashboard Buddha haiku, groovy merchandise...what more could you ask for? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 08:06:19 -0500 From: "Ken Stiffler" Subject: RE: [JP] clock without hands DjP wrote: >>I'm indebted to the NN because they're the reason I got from Nanci to Dar to The Nields to TK.

Nearly all the music I listen to regularly these days can be traced to NanciNet. I can safely say it has changed my life. Makes me wonder what I would be listening to now if I hadn't picked up those two Nanci CDs in 1990. Had heard just a couple of her songs on TNN and thought I might like her. Was in the mood for some new music so I thought I'd give one of her CDs a try. The store had four of them, and I wasn't sure what would be a good example, so I got "Storms" as a studio record and "One Fair Summer Evening" to hear what she sounds like live. Took them home and listened to Storms, then OFSE, then went right back to the store and bought the other two CDs. Totally hooked from the very first song on Storms ("I Don't Wanna Talk About Love" - which remains my favorite Nanci song). >>There's folks on there who know soooo much about folk music. << And a lot about other kinds of music, too. If you have a question about music, you can usually get an answer there. >>There was this kind of debate when Blue Roses For The Moons came out too, and OVORToo for that matter. << Though I'm not enamored of CWH, I was one of the people who liked BRFTM a lot. And also liked most of OVT. There just wasn't enough Nanci on OVT to make me feel like I had a new Nanci CD. "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" is soooo good.

But, to my ears, it has a lot more life to it than CWH. All but one of the songs are written by her and she was really *on* as a writer at that point. Not that she was the least bit weak as a writer before that - Flyer just marked the change from her earlier predominantly "story" songs to more personal songs and it seems she gets her heart right out there on every song. ("These Days In An Open Book" is my third-favorite Nanci song.) So Flyer is very different from most of her earlier work, at least in subject matter - very introspective. But it's *not* an upbeat record (though "This Heart" is a great song of awakening). For upbeat, you have to go back to something earlier than "Storms" or jump forward to "Blue Roses From The Moons".
