One of  my friends asked me why I am going to all
these concerts, and why I would  want to see Dar two days in a row.  I
told her that I enjoy the  artists so much I feel an obligation to
support
live music.  She told  me "I understand that, but sometimes it seems like
you're doing it  single-handedly."  Well, so be it.  :)
Having almost literally OD'd on the Nields for eleven straight years,
let  me
say that I can relate, Theresa!  Thanks for the great  reviews!  :-)

The most excessive-ever Nields week for me was in October '98, when I
saw  TN
Tuesday night in NJ (Ramapo College), Thursday night at the Bottom Line
in 
NYC (late show only, and I had to be at work at 8AM in CT the next day),
Friday
night in Clifton Park NY (north of Albany), then 2 Iron Horse shows
Saturday
and  one more Iron Horse show on Sunday.  6 Nields shows in 6 days!  But
I 
was only listening, TN had to play all those shows, as well as pack and
unpack 
the trailer with all of their stuff.  Talk about brutal.  I almost  fell
asleep on the drive home from the Clifton Park show, Friday night.   :-|

There is an illustration of a very good reason, I might add, as to why
the 
5-piece Nields band eventually broke up.  :-)

Kennedys content: TK have sometimes had brutal schedule gyrations as
well, 
and those Half a Million Miles really do add up in time.  I used to
think 
(erroneously as it turned out) that the Nields band would "take a licking
to  keep
on ticking" literally forever, as in the overly optimistic email  name
"nieldsforever @ aol.com."  But we should be all the more  thankful then
that Pete
and Maura have kept the act together and keep on doing  as the road
warriors
d/b/a The Kennedys!  :-)

And we  will have to find you GUILTY, Gordon, of depriving us of  the
music!

Gordon, you're going "Down, Down, Down"...!  :-)

Bruce
who really thinks TK could, 007-like, live double lives as  perpetrators
of
songs like "The Girl With the Blonde Eye" AND as TV "Judge Joe  Brown"
type
crime-fighters!  "I Fought the Law," Bobby Fuller Four   :-)
