The shelter is called Rachel's Home and it is a shelter for women. They will be having their Thanksgiving dinner at The Hard Rock Cafe and we will meet up with them at their shelter afterwards to visit and whatever else. Nancy says to bring your guitars and other instruments so we can kind of entertain them. Books magazines or whatever else you'd like to bring, maybe flowers are all fine ideas. I'm working on a press release and Nancy wants to contact Karen to see if she has the time to work on one as she is probably better qualified than I am. Contacting radio stations, tv, and newspapers is our next step. So if I could get a better number of exactly who is coming it would be appreciated. We are also trying desperately to contact 91X, a local radio station that plays reggae music Sunday nights, to see if they would like to have our Jamaican DJ friends as guest to plug the EDAF and the clothes drive Nancy is trying to coordinate to go with the EDAF concert event. Thanks for listening and we're looking forward to seeing all of you who are coming. Now is the time to email me for directions to any part of the events that you are planning on coming to if you are planning on driving and not flying here. If you are on the fence about coming don't be. Things are going to be lots of fun. Tom ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Oct 1997 17:52:18 +0200 From: "Jonathan Lundqvist" Subject: Swedish gig + TV-show Hello all! I wanted to give you all a brief resume concerning yesterdays concert, and TV charity show in Stockholm, Sweden. At 1930 the concert began at Grunewaldssalen in the main concert hall in the centre of Stockholm. Grunewaldssalen is mostly used for classical performances in the size of string quartets etc, but the hall was perfect for Jewel and her guitar. About 300-350 people where present. The opening act, Simon Warner, came on stage at about 1940 and played some six songs. I'm not going to comment much on his performance, and instead I ask you to read Myles MacRae's comments about him in his report from the Bloomsbury gig. However, I feel that he didn't really get much of a chance since everyone was anxiously awaiting Jewel. ** THE CONCERT She left everyone hanging and didn't enter untill 2050, starting with "Don't". I don't have a playlist as I was too breathtaken to write anything down at that moment. This was the first time I saw her perform live, and I had not in my wildest dreams expected her to be *that* good!! The presence she had was just absolutely fantastic!! Her voice can do everything from the deepest note to the highest without any errors. She tried to sing a song in Swedish, but I really don't think anyone really heard what the lyrics was, her Swedish really isn't *that* good, to say the least.. But, she tried and it was cute, very cute indeed, and it really got the audience in a wild mood! The applause never ended! "Foolish games" was backed up by a keyboard-guy she called John, who accompanied her on piano. She said that he'd been flown in from the States the same day, and had a bit of a jet-lag. She left the stage with a modest "Thank you", but it didn't take long before she returned to do the encore. She did "Amen" and then a song in Italian (at least I think it was in Italian) which she performed a cappela. Anybody knows the details?? Then as the last song she did a song that she said her father had thought her; a really fast song with a yodel-chorus. It really made the day! To see how versatile her voice is really is incredible. Her concert went well, and she left everyone smiling and wanting more. I think it was a bit short, and I missed some songs as "Adrian" and "Painters". But i think she was in a rush since she was to get to the television studio to go live. ** THE CARITY PROGRAMME I went straight home after the concert to catch her on TV. At 2340 the hosts introduces her as Jewel, a 20-year old star from Alaska, and the camera switches to her. She did "Foolish games" and I kind of hoped that the song was to be followed with and interview but, no. After she had her 3 minutes, she left the stage and disappeared. Jewel has a very seductive way of having her eyes half-closed, however a friend called me and asked me if she was high or something. I guess even Freudian gestures like that can be misunderstood. *smile* Yesterday was a wonderful day, filled with Jewel! I hope she will return to Sweden soon again! That's it for now! Take care!! / Jonathan Stockholm, Sweden PS. The TV-charity got 42'413'370 SEK, about US$ 5'655'116 and was arranged by the Red Cross and other 3rd world help organisations. PS2. one of the major paper in Sweden; "Aftonbladet" wrote a concert review today and called her a "Unfinished diamond - the holder of some talent but with too many rough edges" He gave her 3 starts of 5 possible. But then again; What does HE know?? - - j o n a t h a n l u n d q v i s t jonathan@xkom.se +46 70 551 21 50 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Oct 1997 14:26:52 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: Jewel in this mornings' USA Today Weekend - the full text Below is the full text of the question and answer about Jewel that was in this mornings' "Who's News" section of the USA Weekend Sunday paper supplement. When you read it, you'll see what I mean, but it appears that from the question (mentions Who Will Save Your Soul "IS a mainstream hit") and the answer (says she's 22, and she's 23), that this *could* have been out of the USA Weekend from October 1996, not 1997 ;) - Mike You can read it online here (no picture): http://www.usaweekend.com/97_issues/971026/971026whos_news.html Accompanied by a picture of her with the caption - "Jewel: Staying true to her soul" the Q&A are: Q: Has Jewel, whose Who Will Save Your Soul is a mainstream hit, become comfortable with her success? After all, she started in small coffeehouses not long ago. - Priscilla Duran, El Paso A: The 22-year-old singer has said she still giggles at the idea that her words, ideas and music are being heard by the masses. But the young woman who once lived in her van does not seem caught up in outward trappings of success even if she did finally buy a house and can indulge her passion for horses. Her mom still manages her, and she told Time she still drives her Volvo station wagon because it's good for sleeping in out in the desert. * The Jewel Mailing List Netiquette & New Member Guide is at: * http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup * * If you are new to the list and need someone to guide you * please check out the "Adopt A Newbie" page at: * http://www.geocities.com/wellesley/3079/newbies.html * * If you have list related questions, feel free to email me * at Ducksoup@spectra.net * * DuckofPrey@aol.com WhyADuck55 on AOL Instant Messenger ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Oct 1997 12:08:55 PST From: "Jerome Gonzales" Subject: Rolling Stone appearence There is a beautiful picture and cool chat (with Janeane Garafalo, no less!!!) with Jewel in the new issue (Women In Rock) of Rolling Stone.

For those of you that don't this is what it says: Jewel Shines On: Get this -- Jewel is about to become a movie star. She's scheduled to play the female lead in a Civil War drama called To Live On. Tobey Maguire and Matt Damon are her co-stars and Ang Lee (the director of The Ice Storm) is in charge. We'll keep you posted ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Oct 1997 22:48:15 -0500 (EST) From: Piper1013@aol.com Subject: New Year's gig in FAB-U-LOUS Las Vegas Hey, I just got off the phone with the Hard Rock and they told me that the tickets to Jewel's New Year's concert will definitely be open for public purchase. I had been worried that it'd be some big VIP, special invite, or radio station only type thing due to the fact that it might be taped by MTV/VH-1, etc etc. There is no word on ticket price or date the tickets go on sale, but I will keep calling back until there is. :) So any Las Vegas EDA's or EDA's who want to make a fabulous trip to Las Vegas for New Year's , let me know and maybe we can have a little "gathering" before the show. Wow, my first Jewel concert and my first EDA event all in one big night... bwahaha... - --Lisa-- **Warrior Princess Angel** ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #845 ***************************
