Thanks, that was me! I really wanted to hear 1000 Miles Away and I asked and she played it....then I asked for Behind The Wall and she played that too. Needless to say I was a happy camper and went away with Rare Angels signed....I also talked with her after the show and thanked her for putting up with me asking for real 'downer' songs, beacuse it seemed to me that after she played 1000 miles away she got moody and played her sadder mellower material, but I didn't mind the mellow material. I also told her that alot of her music has pulled me through alot of bad times which she gave me a reassuring hand on the shoulder and put her sharpe directly into my shirt....thus making a large black stain that I can say came from Jewel! All in all the show was great accept for the throngs of talking edwin fans who have forever tainted my vision of him and his band, which says something about me I know but in order to really like a band I have to respect the fans that come to thier shows and I no longer respect the majority of Edwin Mccain followers because of thier rude and disrespectfulattitude towards someone they should have paid some attention to.

Well, this car pulled up and the driver opened There's actually a lot here about how she'd hitch-hiked everywhere in Alaska but she was a little nervous about hitch-hiking in San Diego because she'd seen that movie Kalifornia. So she wanted to try to vibe at cars as they went by so she would know whether she should get in, but it's hard to get a good vibe at 60 plus. (VROOOOM! Didn't look good anyway.)

Then, on the way back he asked her, "I mean, don't you think men are just the primordial scum of the planet earth?" [small voice] "nnnooo." "No, really, don't you think men are just self serving?"

I read that message too, and thought it odd, because I'd been told it was co-headlining from some friends in the industry. O, I guess I should intro myself. I was on this list before, but I don't recall ever posting a message. I recently moved from San Diego to Lawrence, KS, where the two artists are playing tonight. Yes! I finally get to see Jewel play at a non-Rugburns show! (Don't get me wrong; I'm also a huge 'Burns fan. But I've seen them play hundreds of times.) Enough about me. They've advert'ing it here as a co-headlined bill. The ads from the venue and the radio promos give both artists fairly equal billing (altho the band's always listed/promo'd first). Haven't bought my tix yet, but I'm sure they're similar. ------------------------------ From: teffta@crypt.erie.ge.com (Andrew R.

I have been a pretty silent member for the past 6 months or so, but I feel I need to share my humorous "Jewel Story" with everyone. Enjoy... Last week, I was fooling around on Netscape looking at all the webpages on Jewel and I came across that Jewel/Edwin contest on the Atlantic Records webpage. The contest was to win tickets for either the Salt Lake City or Boulder concerts. Since I am currently a student at Penn State (without a car), there would be no way I could go. HOWEVER, since I have never, ever won anything in my life (including scratch-off lottery tickets and even Bingo at church) I decided to enter just to keep up my losing streak. Well, when I got home from classes that evening, there was a message on my machine...I WON THE TICKETS FOR THE SALT LAKE CITY CONCERT. How ironic. I called the guy back and i told him my pathetic story and begged for tickets to another Jewel show in the east (or free cds, t-shirts, cash, etc.) but he was not moved. I didn't take the tickets because they were going to pick a runner-up, and i wasnt sure if i could find someone in Utah to go (sorry if anyone on the mailing list is from Utah). I cried for days...=) Vanessa ___________________________________________________________________ vxs112@psu.edu Penn State Nittany Lions #1 ------------------------------ From: "A.C.

First of all, I'm going to the show in Salt Lake City on February 19th at the Zephyr Club. Secondly, I bought my ticket yesterday from Smiths Tix which is the major ticket outlet in Salt Lake City (it's actually a grocery store). When I went to get my ticket, they only had it under the name Edwin McCain. AND.. on the ticket itself... just Edwin McCain. Now that sucks! No Jewel, just Edwin. So I'm gonna have to get my ticket signed by Jewel just to show she was there. Of course, that'll be cool. I have not seen any official bills, just the Zephyr flyer with their calendar of events. There they had "Edwin McCain with Jewel". All in all though, it leads me to believe she is indirectly billed as an opening act. What do you think?

It just so happened that I started e-mailing her since she posted on the list a week ago and asked if anyone on the list was from Utah. We correspond with one another daily now. I have not met her yet but I intend to at the February 19th show here. I had been corresponding for a few days with her when she won the tickets and the pre-show with Jewel/Edwin. Yep, I was jealous, I still am. At least I already have my tickets. The show should be great, the club is small and personal. So that is my input on the story.

Angels Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams. Angels watch over you wherever you go, keeping each day perfect and promising a bright new tomorrow. The motto of all angels is "it's a wonderful life." Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by. Angels help you carry the ball, carry a tune, carry your weight and carry on! Your guardian angel knows you inside and out and loves you just the way you are. Angels keep the world safe for hummingbirds and butterflies and rainbows in spring. Angels keep it simple and always travel light. Angels love whipering secrets and whistling in the dark. Whenever you hear music, an angel is speaking to you. Remember to leave space in your relationships so the angels have room to play. Your guardian angel helps you find a place when you feel there's no place to go. Keep a spare angel in your pocket. Angels carry high-beam lights to help you through the darkest hours. Whenever you feel lonely, a special angel drops in for tea. Angels know that love is the only four letter word. We are always "angels on call" for a friend. Everytime you hear a bell, another angel has earned its wings. Wngels are with you every step of the way and help you soar with amazing grace. After all, we are angels in training; all we have to do is spread our wings and fly. Ok so it's not really a poem. But it's nice and Jewel seems to have a fetish for angels:) She also seems to have a thing for the word "fragile," though that has nothing to do with this poem. My dad xeroxed the poem from a card he got from the Franciscan Mission Associates. It has a picture at the top of the angels from, I think, the sistine chapel. Oh, somebody was asking about other artists that might be liked on this list (or something to that effect. at least that's how I remember it, so flame me if I'm wrong. I mean sue me! no flames please. I'm covered in gasoline and would be flambe if flamed). Kristin Hersh was a good consideration. I think if yer going for the good guitar-work and honest lyrics on the rockish side, go for Ani DiFranco (always plays a mean acoustic on her six albums and has spoken word poems on a few) or Melissa Ferrick (her second album Willing to Wait is more acoustic than her first). On a folky vein, try Christine Lavin (hilarious songs), Patty Larkin (excellent guitar player and good lyrics), Dar Williams, Susan Werner (folk and blues mix). Then there's Sarah McLachlan (my personal fav, tied with Jewel that is) whose second album, Solace is IMHO her best. It's warmer and acousticier than her first, Touch (more Kate Bush, synth, ethereal), and her latest Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (more moody, alternative-but-not-quite). And then there's Tori Amos. All of these people give great performances live and I recommend them live and recorded. Oh and in a jazzy frame, go for Holly Cole or Jane Siberry. I like Canadians! ok all done bye-bye:) hugs to all. I know I need a couple. Paul "tomorrow (Wednesday)shall be a sh!tty day for I have a radio show from 8-10, class from 10-3:30, volleyball practice from 4-6 and then my dorm (named Valentine Hall) will hold a traditional drink fest for former and current residents from 8 until whenever.
