I had the privilege of seeing Jewel perform in San Diego several times a few years ago, but I was only 13 (14?) at the time, and while I loved the music I never really gave it a second thought. I'm currently a student at UMass Amherst, but I'm better thought of as an ex-student of Simon's Rock College. I can generally be found at Mt Holyoke or Hampshire College, and occasionally at Wellesley College. I spend most of my time [playing with/fighting with/administering] unix and NT machines while listening to, among others, Jewel (of course), Sarah McLachlan, and the Indigo Girls (I greatly prefer Emily's songs).

Hey there, My name is Derek Rambeau. Most of you probably don't know who I am, and rightfully so, considering I hardly ever post. But after being on this list for a month, I felt I had to, just to express what I've seen. I first saw Jewel in the WWSYS video about a year ago. I thought she was beautiful, but didn't give the song a passing thought. About 6 months ago, I recieved Lthe Launch CD with Jewel. I clicked on the feature about Jewelstock, and was facinated that something like that had occured. But soon after, I forgot about it. Fast forward to a month ago, when I first heard YWMFM. I thought "What a great song", and later picked up PoY. At first listen I thought it was great. Jewel was somewhat of a departure to what I usually listened to (The Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, The Prodigy), and it took sometime for PoY to sink in, and for me to adjust to Jewel's personal style of writing. I caught her on the Late Late Show, and was amazed how wise she was (and just how much I miss the Jon Stewart show :). Then I joined the list. I'm on other lists, but none like this. Almost 99% of you know most or all of Jewel's rare material. I find this incredible, that so many true fans of the music are on this list. Later, I learned about Lizstock. Someone is actually letting people she's never seen into her house. I was shocked, this was something I'd never seen before. I think that's why I'm still here. And then, I saw Jewel in Toronto on March 6. This has changed everything I've ever known about concerts. I don't think I'll ever see so intimate a show. Jewel and the audience seemed like old friends, discussing the news of the day. My butt was numb, it was boiling hot, and I could hardly see her face, but that didn't matter. Her songs spoke to me. I've never met her, but after the show, I had a feeling I know her now better than I ever will. Jewel put her personality on display for the Toronto crowd. It was incredible. I'd thank Jewel a thousand times if I could, but I know I can't. Instead, I'll thank you guys, the EDAs. Without you guys, I'd probably never understand Jewel like I do now. Thanks. +Derek+ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Mar 1997 18:11:02 -0800 (PST) From: Julie Bristol Subject: njc: I'm just having a good day!! :) Hi all!

Julie %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Julie Bristol jbritsol@clark.edu "We are everyday angels/ Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way." ~Jewel Kilcher~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Mar 1997 20:17:08 -0500 From: Greg Dunn Subject: NJC: Tara MacLean concert + EDA microgathering in CANADA (LONG) Yes, this is ferociously Non Jewel Content -- but very strong on EveryDay Angel content, the spirit that infuses all of us. If you could care less about the ramblings of a list veteran and his daughter visiting another list veteran and attending an amazing concert, hit "delete" now. Hurry. I'll say it again -- if you're a Jewel fan, and willing to entertain the notion that there does exist other music than Jewel's in the universe :-) then I cannot recommend Tara MacLean strongly enough. Yes, her album is miserably overproduced -- so go see her live! Toni and I discovered Tara's music courtesy of Dan Stark, who has tirelessly promoted her since she started touring in Canada. I heard enough of a concert tape to convince me that she was worth seeing live, so when Tara started through the US in support of her album, I kept my eyes open for likely venues. Of course, most small places are over-21, so with an eye out for my daughter I located a couple of places which seemd a good bet. One was in Chicago, meaning a long long day or a hotel room; the other was in Detroit, about 15 minutes from Dan's place in Windsor. To shorten the prologue, Dan graciously offered us a place to stay so we could all go to the concert, stay up late, and hang out for a while before going home. We got tickets and on the appointed day, headed toward Motor City. I brought along my new DAT machine so I could share some of Toni's band performances with Dan. At this point I would like to make the first bullet point of things we learned in our journey. (1) The customs official is your friend. Unless he's constipated that day, in which case he's your mortal enemy. As we exited from the US-Canada tunnel, our friendly (fiendly?) customs official apparently found something questionable about this mismatched couple -- the long-haired balding geek and the multicolored, many-pierced hippie chick -- and kindly waved us over to the staging area to make sure that we had a chance to rest after our long journey to visit a friend. So they let us chill on the outdoor bench for half an hour while they opened up all our packages and crawled under the seats and threatinengly waved documents at us and glanced meaningfully at us from their huddle. At long last, the HIMFWIC called me over and grumbled about the DAT machine in the trunk (which I had the receipt for) and asked a long series of penetrating questions about its use. Satisfied that we were not going to commit any major felonies with it, they at last let us pass. So we were finally free to hunt for Dan at his radio station. He invited us in for a tour and showed off some of the cool hardware he uses in his job, and then took us on a hunt for food so we could go to the concert with at least some blood sugar. After a quick snack at a small bistro in downtown Windsor, we sailed across the border under Dan's shield (apparently all the officials know his hotrod Mustang by reputation, if not by sight). After staying slightly below the speed of sound all the way through the tunnel, we accelerated toward the venue and found a parking spot literally 50 feet from the end of the rapidly-forming line. (2) The Stark Park: proof that if you compress the tires enough, it is possible to park with the wheel rims hanging over the curb. The line was incredible; at doors-open, there were a couple hundred people waiting to get in, and as we inched forward, we feared anew for Dan, who was depending on a record company contact to ensure him a pass into the venue. I ran ahead to secure a good spot while Dan weaseled his way in. He joined us shortly, and a good thing too -- Tara was already partway through her set! Like Jewel in her earlier days, Tara has found the key to her audience: make them feel like your confidants, listen to them, and perform your heart out. She got wild, raucous applause and cheering after almost every song, and the crowd was amazingly quiet while she sang. One long round of applause after "Evidence" clearly embarrassed her with its intensity. Tara started with solo acoustic guitar, picked up an accompanist on electric (I can't remember his name, but he was AWESOME in counterpointing Tara's moods and vocal color) and finally brought Ashley's drummer in with a tabla (or other small percussion instrument, I couldn't tell in the dark) to round out the arrangements. Then she did a couple of numbers on electric piano (including a new one I hadn't heard before called "Jordan" - -- not to be confused with "Jericho" that she didn't play) and finally wrapped with the a capella "Silence". Unfortunately, St. Andrew's is a three-story club and the band in the basement decided to crank up in the middle of Tara's set. Despite a rather blunt request to "the management, if they're listening" for some quiet, the noise persisted and she was faced with doing an a capella number over the loud band. So she asked the sound man to turn up the PA, and she did a rather angry and powerful "Silence", nearly overloading the mic preamp in the process. It was great, but I wish she hadn't had to fight with the buttheads in the basement for air time. We talked with her afterward in the hall, and she was bright and cheerful in spite of her justifiable anger at the mishap. We got autographs all around, enjoyed her obvious pleasure at seeing Dan again (she must have hugged him three times in a couple of minutes) and generally watched her gain new fans and friends on the spot as happy people lined up to meet her. We finally bid her farewell, only to see her pop up minutes into Ashley's set as he welcomed Tara back on stage to do the vocal for "Sleepy Maggie". I had heard that her live performance didn't measure up to Mary Jane Lamond's effort on the album; in my opinion, not only did her take Friday night perfectly complement Ashley's accompaniment, it completely ruined me for listening to the song again without her. Absolutely dead on target, and it got a thunderous ovation from the crowd. Dan insists he saw Lamond do the song live, and that she was not even in Tara's league based on what we saw Friday. All I can say is, (to quote my lovely daughter) she kicked ass! Not to slight Ashley MacIsaac, either; his manic fiddle playing destroyed at least three bows during his hour-and-a-quarter set. Rosin dust and broken horsehair billowed about his head as he pranced to and fro, coaxing some amazing sounds out of his amplified axe. The crowd loved it, and cheered him on to greater heights. If you're at all intrigued by a mix of traditional and rocked-up Celtic fiddle playing, Ashley is well worth a listen in concert. His band, the Kitchen Devils, are about as tight and funky as you get. Ashley vacated quickly after the concert, so we didn't get to chat with him at all; it was still early, so as we hopped into Dan's car and decompressed from our exciting evening it was decided that Royal Oak (a Detroit suburb 10-15 miles away) was a good place to visit for a snack. Three or four minutes later, we parked in a garage nearby the shopping district and sought a coffee shop. Finally finding one with seating available and a suitable menu, we relaxed for a bit and looked through the local entertainment magazines. With a talent known only to teenage girls, Toni found a concert listing for the Violent Femmes in nearby Ann Arbor on April 17. After the shrieks of delight had subsided, she convinced me that I really wanted to get up early the next day and buy tickets the very moment they went on sale. (3) It is useless to argue with a teenage girl when the charm is fully on. She will win, and make you think it was your idea at the same time. So we headed back to Windsor, taking the bridge this time for a delightful nighttime view of the twin cities, and discovered that indeed Dan lives only a few minutes drive from the tunnel. (4) Apparently is is not customary to pick up and resell the car bumpers, wheels, mirrors, and (human) body parts left by the tunnel pillars on the Canada side. We arrived at Dan's place just in time to watch Jewel's Tonight Show appearance (and tape it); then we spent a few hours ogling his CD and autograph collection, listening to some cool stuff he scammed from the radio station, and getting his opinions on Toni's band + live tapes. It seemed that we had all known each other for years (well, Toni and I have -- I mean Dan) and I felt a wonderful resurrection of the feeling I got at JewelStock and LizStock. Dan kindly opened his refrigerator to us, found spare blankets, and even accepted the possibility that he wouldn't be able to sleep past noon on this particular Saturday. Toni and I tried to decide who got the couch and who had to settle for the floor (see [3] above), and after a long busy day we finally crashed about 3:30. We got under way early enough the next morning to stop for money on the way to the TicketMaster outlet (yes, they've even permeated our sister country) and got in line for ticket purchase. Well, it wasn't so much a line as an insistent older lady who apparently hasn't bought concert tickets very often and expected the salesperson to know the venue in intimate detail -- which, surprisingly, she did. After ten minutes, the lady finally realized that her telephone-order coupons were only valid for telephone orders, and she left scratching her head and wondering why she had to go home and phone when she was right there at the counter. (5) When buying tickets for a concert, asking questions like "Do you have to turn your head to see the stage?" and "Why do adjacent seats have non-consecutive numbers?" will not endear you to the salesperson. We decided it was lunchtime, and almost by accident stumbled onto a tiny but excellent Indian restaurant in Windsor. After verifying that it was indeed expected that we should park in the municipal reserved spaces, we relaxed and enjoyed the meal. Toni settled for medium-spicy, while I went for spicy and Dan asked for the hot spices to be gently sprinkled with food before being served. We shopped for CDs, zipped back over to Royal Oak so Toni could browse through the clothing shops, and finally returned to Dan's place. I decided that a shower would be a Good Thing in helping me to stay awake for the drive home (Toni didn't care about staying awake; getting back in time for AM band practice was her sole goal) and Dan cheerfully lent me a towel (which I returned, not being into collecting them like some people -- ahem) so I could clean up. I walked out of the shower (fully dressed -- no repeats of the Naked Guy) and spied a familiar face in the doorway. It was Mia from Cleveland, just dropping by for the evening with her friend Nate. EDAs attract EDAs, it would seem. Regrettably, we were getting close to departure time so we didn't have much chance to socialize; but it was nice for Mia to have a chance to meet Toni, unlike LizStock where she was constrained to a band concert. With great sadness but a warm feeling of accomplishment, we headed out for home. We briefly toyed with the idea of surprising Liz on our way through Toledo, but we had really pushed our departure and Toni needed to make some phone calls from home before it got excessively late. We arrived home a bit after 11, tired, happy, and really satisfied with the weekend. When Toni the noncommittal repeatedly says that she had a great time, you can bank on it. A big public thanks to Dan for proving that EDA is more than just an acronym. Well, if you made it to the end of this post, you have too much free time. But I think the point is clear -- the EDA community is made up of a group of EDA individuals, and evidence would suggest that they're all pretty good folk. I can speak for about 40 of them personally, and the number grows every day. This list is about more than just Jewel -- it's about a way of life and a way of dealing with others that is, unfortunately, unique in my experience. What was it that Jewel said about concentrating on ourselves instead of putting her on a pedestal?

(Long)(Part I) Okay, kiddies, come gather round the campfire, great-grandpa's gonna tell you what it was like back in the olden days, before Jewel went into seclusion, when the flame burned brightly and magic happened every day around the elders once known as the "everyday angels." I'm gonna tell you about how magic it was when the "EDAs" (as they were known) shared hopes and dreams, the anticipation of seeing Jewel and her choir, The Rugburns (yes, the very same band that the legendary and world renowned Steve Poltz started and kept alive until he became so big that he bought a catholic boys' school and turned it into an ashram to teach the spiritual connectedness of beer, Jim Beam, hot dogs, learning about love, and keeping time in a sort of Runic rhyme) and the lessons of spirit that held them (and later the world) together in a time of diffuse energy and anomie. Back then, there were so many things to share as the EDAs all met one another for the first time. In fact, many of their stories went untold because too many things were happening to them one after the other, all centering around the music and spirit of Jewel and Steve, that it was hard to take time out to report on it. I can't tell you everything, cause we'd need to have a year-long retreat for that (maybe some summer at the Fritz Creek Vortex and the Kilcher Museum of Music and Healing in Homer), but let me just talk about one week in March of 1997, back in the 20th Century! I took your grandparents (my kids Daniel and Nicole) to their first two Jewel shows then. They were 14 and 12, respectively. After flying from L.A. to NYC (just imagine the horror of "travel" before the transponder technology was stolen by the protorevs from the Pentagon and sold to Toshiba for commercial use!), we all drove up to Providence, R.I., where we saw Jewel AND the Rugburns perform together (the reviews are all in your wrist chips and the archives at the museum, so I won't go into the concert that night or the next night at the Beacon Theater in New York City now). The highlights of that were not only the chance to hear and see Jewel and the Rugs close up, even getting in to the wonderful sound check at Providence; no, the highlights were also in the fact that the EDAs were meeting one another in person and live, many for the first time, although every encounter (yes, every one) was exactly like meeting an old, old friend. At Providence, we talked to all the Rugburns, they always were the warmiest, happiest, most irreverently talented "party band" in the history of the world; it was no accident that they soon became the most successful, as well.  EDA Dennis Harris (yes, the famous shaman) and I met for the first time. We previously had conspired to present a 15-inch chocolate chip cookie to the band with chocolate and vanilla icing saying "The Rugburns Kick Donkey," and "EDAs welcome the Rugburns," all around Dennis's flying shroom angel design ("all god's veggies got wings" -- Howlin' Harris, 2016). You should have seen how they loved it! a lot of the EDAs met at a great ribs restaurant (you don't even remember meat, do you?): Alan Bershaw (the first Secretary of Music in the U.S. when it was made a cabinet level post) and his co-conspirator Amy Jo, Dennis, Teg Godwin (whom I already had met in L.A. and at LizStock, she's my brother, man), and Phil Kelnhofer, the "tee-shirt guy" immortalized in Poltz's song from 1999. I had to leave the pork fest early to take Secretary Bershaw and his entourage to conduct the sound check. The venue was about a half mile away, just two easy turns. But Dennis had messed with the energy, and I got lost; it took 45 minutes to get there! I went back for my kids at the motel to bring them to the venue, in time to stroll in during the sound check, greet all the Rugburns, plunk down in the first row, get Steve's permission to record their part of the show, hook up to the soundboard, plunk down in the front row (thanks to Teg's ingenious use of elbows and my talent for Filling Tiny Spaces), unfurl the EDA banner, and have a delightful conversation with Atz Kilcher. I had imagined a crusty geezer from the description Jewel had given in prior concerts (I checked and found NO sign of bushy, untrimmed eyebrows). Instead, I saw a young man glowing with a beatific light, laughter in his eyes and a warm, enthusiastic smile on his face. I introduced myself to Atz and started a conversation with him. I told him that I imagined it must be hard to separate out the feeling of parental pride in forming an objective view of how special his daughter Jewel is, but that I wanted to assure him that whatever he feels is shared by many others, and that Jewel is really, really, uniquely special and wonderful. He told me that he has been around music all his life, and that he was pretty sure he could be and was being objective about the fact that he agreed fully. At the show, the EDAs surrounded the front of the stage for Jewel like spiritual bodyguards. There was Jared (it was his 1,412th Jewel concert)(I think), Eric Haglund, Chris Snyder (who previously claimed to have won the cookie contest with his own two tins of home-made chocolate chip cookies), Jason??(I think; the memory fades, alas), and some others whose names I regret to say I cannot recall). We acted like angels, getting autographs (thanks to Bibi) for all the kids who asked us (except the drunk one in my face who offered me 20$ if I could get his girlfriend to meet Jewel; he kept calling me "Dennis" and whined over and over, even when I told him there was nothing I could do, that I wasn't likely to get to talk to Jewel myself (I didn't, in fact), and that if I could, I wouldn't take MONEY for doing that. His gf was soo embarrassed and tried to apologize for him; I whispered "It's not your fault; I bet you're gonna be washing your hair a lot when he keeps calling you" -- response: big grin! After the show, we hung around and talked more with the Rugburns and Atz. The Rugs and Atz all signed Nicole's Jewel tee-shirt, and the Rugs all signed Daniel's, too. (At the Beacon the next night, Lenedra -- who sat immediately across the aisle form us --also signed Nicole's tee shirt; it must have been one of the very first Jewel shirts signed by both of her parents! Now have a cup of hot soylent and use the latrines, and I'll go on with my story if you bring old great grand-dad some greasy greasy hot dogs on a buttered up bun.

I was on my way to the infamous Broomball games last night and heard that she was going to be on. Unfortunately, neither Liz or I could hear it because we had games. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Columbus and Detroit!! Less than a week away! WOOHOO!! Take care all! You brighten up my life! >From you Wonderwoman (Thanks Igor!) =)Shelly ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 00:14:36 -0500 (EST) From: gegertha@tiac.net (Chris Snyder) Subject: POY Promo question Hi Angels I have a semi-obsessive details oriented question. For those of you who have a promo copy of POY(the one with gold writing on the cover), does your cover have Jewel's name written in green or in blue. The green like the numbers on the back of the book. And also does your CD say for promotional use only. Just wanting to know so I can stop wondering. Talk to you later.

I Must Say She causes more emotions to stir within me when her hands are free to express herself. I do like the way She Who Is states this: "About her hands...it didn't bother me at all, in fact, I really liked it. The hands are a very expressive part of the body, though most of us learn to 'control' them for fear of what others might think...it pleased me that she feels free enough to express herself in that way. I thought it was absolutely beautiful." Much beyond beauty, much more. And speaking of She Who Is... your question about Paula Cole, She is not singing about what you think she is.. she is being very sarcastic.. listen to her CD and you will see...
