I just wanted to say a big "THANKS" to everyone that has helped make this tape tree of FF3 possible. This thanks includes the owner and list manager at smoe, Mr. BB, the artists, and anyone else who has taken time to make all of this happen. I really appreciate it, and I'm sure many others do as well. You guys are really great. Chris The broken-hearted angel ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jan 1998 18:26:23 EST From: ABershaw Subject: MrBB-FUTURE FOLKLORE Volume 3 - SIGN UP NOW! :-) Hello all EDAs, I'm here to instruct you & share my excitement about the "Future Folklore" Volume 3 tape. Instructions are included in this ridiculously long post, but for those that are new, I'm going to re-post what this is all about before the instructions. There's NO HURRY, so again, PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS. First, a HUGE THANKS goes to James Judd, who's vision to improve the free tape distributions is responsible for the way "FF3" will be administrated. I also give boundless THANKS to all those generous volunteer members of the Angelfood Bank Taper Army! It's their personal generosity of time & resources that will make this distribution possible at all. It's because of them that anyone who wants FF3 now AND in the future will have a means to do so. Many internet lists run tape trees but theres always been one very significant difference in the way its been done on the EDA list. That's the fact that we've always made our tapes available to EVERYONE on the list (at the time of distribution), regardless of equipment or their ability to perpetuate the distribution. Only a blank tape & postage is required to enjoy our projects. If this goes well & a renewed interest in FF1 & 2 becomes apparent, we'll consider making previous volumes available again. Now on to what FF3 is all about & then the instructions. Future Folklore Volume 3 is an incredible recording of two wonderful shows that happened in San Diego during Thanksgiving weekend 1997. Many list members from all over North America attended. The shows were in celebration of the EDAFoundation having its paperwork processed through government channels & beginning its infancy for real. Many great musicians performed & Jewel herself made a surprise appearance to a very enthusiastic audience. All the artists personally authorized the material included on Future Folklore Volume 3. Jewel, Cindy Lee Berryhill, Joy Eden Harrison, Gregory Page, Elizabeth Hummel, Tara MacLean, Lisa Sanders & Mary Dolan are all featured on the tape. When I produced "Future Folklore" Volumes 1 & 2, I concentrated on fairly complete performances by Steve Poltz, Cindy Lee Berryhill & Elizabeth Hummel (taken from two EDA events that were documented back in April of 97). For Volume 3, I've selected highlights from both evenings at Java Joe's during the EDA Thanksgiving Weekend of 11/28 & 29/97. There's really a great diversity to the music on this compilation. Powerful & emotional songs from Lisa Sanders, Mary Dolan & Tara Maclean. Updated traditional approaches from Elizabeth Hummel on her dulcimer. Joy Eden Harrison swinging & singing the blues. Sentimentally seasoned songwriting by Gregory Page. Jewel belting out Monteverdi accapella for some culture. And finally my personal favorite, Cindy Lee Berryhill & her Garage Orchestra taking us to "Pop Heaven", when not leading us to some other planet altogether! I think you'll find all of the performances to be enjoyable at the least & mind blowing at the most. For those who enjoyed Cindy Lee & Elizabeth on FF1 & 2, this material is very different than those performances. Elizabeth rocks when playing dulcimer! And Cindy Lee......awesome! On the previous tapes you listened to a unique folk singer, but here those songs are strange & beautiful pop-symphonies that are totally infectious! Although diverse, theres a continuity in listening to these artists together. There's strong friendships between them all & a never ending support of each other that has impressed me from the minute I was taken in by this San Diego scene. It's similar support & friendships that are developing & spreading around the planet now by the EDAs, I think. Both sides of the tape end with the humor (& looseness) that these events so often inspire. There's a feeling in the room during these performances that I can't describe accurately. I have tried to capture it on the recordings & I think I've succeeded to a certain extent. By suspending very high quality microphones out of the loft over the stage, I was able to blend the "room ambience" into a soundboard direct stereo mix which fed directly into the decks. This enables the listener to enjoy the clear definition of vocals & guitars that a direct soundboard feed provides while still having the ambience & dynamics that only a room recording done with excellent microphones can provide. I mixed these sources direct to digital while it happened & after analyzing it, I felt no post-production or EQing was needed at all. It really sounds that good! Anyone interested in Jewel's music will certainly welcome a perfect recording of the extremely rare unreleased gems "Jessica" & (the operatic treat of) "Lasciatemi Morrire". But it's really the other artists that I think will amaze many of you. Jewel came out of an incredibly talented "scene" in San Diego, which is still very much alive & well! Jewel & these other musicians & songwriters are all intertwined & connected. (Tara is an exception but has been embraced by The EDA community) I sure hope you take the opportunity to follow these instructions & get this FREE tape while it's being distributed in excellent quality. Any Jewel fan on this list who doesn't bother to pay attention is truly missing the boat!

This "tape tree" is going to be different than previous trees done on the EDA list. One major difference, is that thanks to James Judd & the new Angelfood Bank, we plan to keep FF3 available so there's no big hurry! (Of course many are anxiously awaiting it, so go for it as soon as you like!) James Judd & I already circulated 70 copies of FF3 to people around the planet & many of them will be graciously volunteering their time & resources to help all of you. ************************************************ Here's all you need do. Go to the new Angelfood Bank Website AND FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS. The URL for FF3 sign up & instructions is: http://www.angelfoodbank.org/ Once there, you'll find it easy to sign up & be assigned to a generous member of The Angelfood Bank Taper Army, who will graciously make you a copy FREE OF CHARGE. If you are in the USA, you'll simply supply your own 100 minute blank cassette & a self addressed padded mailer with four 32 cent stamps already on it. It's that easy. If you live outside the USA, simply follow the instructions for your country. NOTE: If you are one of the "web-challenged" EDAs, please do not get upset! We'll be posting instructions for you in a few days. ************************************************ Final note to everyone: Many of the goals I had with previous volumes of "Future Folklore" have already been realized, including "The Living Room Tour" & the weekend documented here. I hope this series will continue to inspire many more music related events in the future! This will bring back great memories for those who experienced these shows & I hope it helps to share the experience with those unable to attend. A high quality recording of "Jessica" is probably the most common "dream request" from Jewel tape collectors. This one will certainly fill that need real well! Ah.....& finally, Cindy Lee Berryhill & Garage Orchestra. Truly one of the most wonderful things I've ever listened to! Everyone this week was great, but Cindy Lee is from another planet altogether! Fortunately for me, so am I. Enjoy FF3! :-) MrBB PS.
