  [JP] KENNEDYS AUGUST NEWSLETTER 8                      [Kennedylst@aol.com]

Subject: [JP] KENNEDYS AUGUST NEWSLETTER 8

Welcome to The Kennedys' E-Newsletter for August 2002!

Stevie Wonder called one of his albums "Hotter Than July", but we certainly 
haven't experienced anything hotter than July 2002. The extreme heat did 
nothing to prevent us from playing a string of really enjoyable and inspiring 
gigs. The month began with a mini tour sharing the stage with our 
compatriots, Eddie From Ohio. After trekking from the old whaling town of New 
Bedford, MA (great festival there) out to the wilds of West Virginia and 
western Maryland, we wound up the month by joining our extended tribe of fans 
and friends at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. This gathering always has a 
special vibe, but the feeling was enhanced even more this year as we all 
celebrated the life and music of the late great Dave Carter, who unexpectedly 
left behind his life as a wandering folk singer to carry on his spiritual 
quest in the transcendent world that he so poetically glimpsed in his songs. 
At Falcon Ridge, we had the chance to once again make music with Dave's 
partner, Tracy Grammer, and we look forward to hearing much more from her in 
the future. Her poise and dignity at the festival were really inspiring to us 
all. If you haven't checked out their music, give a listen to any one of 
their three CDs on the Signature Sounds label to see why we say that Dave was 
simply the best songwriter on the entire folk scene.
