Subject: [JP] Cadence Carroll

I've been doing a bit called "This Day in Nields History" on the Nields 
Nook
for the past 8 months, starting in September.  "School Is In"!   :-)

I've often wished that I had paid closer attention to TK, and been able
to 
master even the rudimentary beginnings of the History of the Kennedys. 
TK 
story is really fascinating, a work in progress, and well worth telling
in its 
own right.  "Just Like Henry David"...!  :-)

At any rate, my notes for Nields History informed me that I first saw 
Cadence Carroll playing with TK 5 years ago today, 4/6/01, at TK's
Turning Point 
show in Piermont NY.  So it really was sort of a "turning point" for 
me.  A
week later, I totally took the bait -- hook, line, and sinker  -- when I
saw TK
play at the Sounding Board in West Hartford 4/14/01.  They  played Kate
Wolf's
"Across the Great Divide," and that was it -- the Life  is Large realm of
the
Kennedys opened up for me like an Open Book, with large  letters to be
read
plainly.  The writing was on the wall, and I've been  following TK ever
since.

I don't know where Cadence had been all my life prior to that Piermont 
show,
but I'd been hearing lots of good things about Cady on the Nook from
Cone 
Head, who was "Everything Kennedys" in those days, seeing both TN and TK 
constantly, up and down the East Coast.

It was really an eye-opener seeing Cadence that first time, realizing
that 
everything good I'd heard about her was absolutely true.  And a funny
thing 
about that -- it wasn't until months after that -- 7/15/01 at Rick Rock's
in 
Valhalla NY -- that I even knew that Cady was an engaging and talented
singer 
songwriter in her own right.  7/15/01 was when TK gave Cadence part of 
their
own slot at the Hammond House, in a co-bill with Groovelily.

Seeing Cadence at N&K Nields' Ridgefield Library show a few weeks ago 
made
me realize how much I'd missed seeing her, and how great it always is to 
see
her.

I look forward to seeing Cadence at FRFF this July, doing the Drum
Workshop 
again, and to seeing her many more times in the future too -- I hope!  
:-)
