[cubbie@annex.com] NJC: Introduction and request ["Mark A. Riccobono" Subject: Rolling Stone Women in Rock Collection Hi guys! I'm surprised that nobody mentioned this yet! Rolling Stone just released a three CD collection to commemmorate women in rock. And of course, Jewel is included with the song "Who Will Save Your Soul." It's not available in stores, but you can order it at www.musicboulevard.com There's also a women in rock book, but I don't know what that's about. The 3 CD set is $39.99 and the book is $25.00 and you can get both for $59.99 (US currency). You can also download and listen to each and every song on the CD at the site. Happy listening folks :) Love, Nancy the angel who breaks everything sometimes *clumsy* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 May 1998 00:10:14 PDT From: "Oink oink" Subject: "Big Blue" -for those that have always wondered.... ...what in the world are those things on Big Blue's fretboard? For those of you that keep wondering that (as I have), I found an interesting article with an interview of Danny Ferrington, the creator of Jewel's beautiful, blue guitar. If you want to take a quick jump to it, you can find it here: http://www.acguitar.com/issues/ag55/gear55.html If you're lazy, here's the article: Jewel plays two Taylor guitars, a 912-C (rosewood, grand concert-sized cutaway) and an 814-C (rosewood, grand auditorium-sized cutaway), and a unique guitar made by veteran luthier Danny Ferrington (PO Box 923, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272; [310] 454-0692). For Ferrington, who has crafted beautiful instruments for everyone from Elvis Costello to Kurt Cobain to Ry Cooder, collaborating with Jewel was a labor of love. "She's very inspiring and fun to work with," he said from his shop in Santa Monica, California. "At first she didn't know what she wanted, so we started talking and she paged through my book [Ferrington Guitars, HarperCollins] for ideas. She had been playing a Taylor that she got cheap because it was damaged, and she wanted something a little bigger for more sound. So we decided on a dreadnought size, though not at all a traditional dreadnought shape. I measured the width of the neck on the Taylor so that it would match, allowing her to easily switch from one to the other in concert. She knew she wanted something that would be unique to her, so right away we knew this wasn't going to be a conventional guitar. "Since she is on the road so much and away from her home, she wanted to include icons on the guitar that would symbolize sentimental parts of her past and serve almost as a talisman to represent physical and spiritual things that she loves. We discussed using many different kinds of icons, such as flying birds, before settling on what we wanted. We realized as it got simpler it became more beautiful. "It was her idea for the color: a field of rich, dark blue like a night sky, filled with stars. It fades in gradation from one end to the other as opposed to the typical sunburst pattern that fades from the center out. It's an idea I would never have considered without her. The icons we eventually used were inlaid in mother-of-pearl and abalone: a mountain range, a cowboy hat to represent her father, a girl on a horse that is Jewel, angels, and on the back a map of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands with a blue star designating Homer, her hometown. It's a guitar that is very outdoors and environmental without being crunchy-granola, and it has a calming, peaceful quality that she loves and needs while traveling around the world." The guitar also has a banner on the headstock that reads, "Lass deine Liebe dein Leben sein," German for "Let your love your life be." There is a delicate curl built into the headstock and into the cutaway, a mahogany bolt-on neck, an Engelmann spruce top, East Indian rosewood for the back and sides, and an ebony fretboard. It has a Highlander piezo-style pickup built into the saddle and is usually run directly through the board. Ferrington has also made another guitar for Jewel--a small-bodied instrument hued with bright purple fading into yellow, like an iris flower, that she plays in the video for "You Were Meant for Me." "I knocked that one out for her quickly," he said. "On planes she likes to travel light with a gig bag, and it's small enough for that, like an electric guitar. It's also a good songwriting guitar for her on the bus." Ferrington's newest collaboration with Jewel is a little electric guitar still in the works, which he says will probably end up being a kind of orange-red Japanese design. - --Paul Zollo ***taken from Acoustic Guitar magazine July 1997, issue no. 55 Love, Nancy, the angel who breaks everything sometimes *clumsy* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 09:21:40 -0400 From: "Doug Ashron" Subject: Jewel & Wizard of Oz Hello Everyone, For those who have not seen the production of 'The Wizard of Oz' that Jewel was in back in '96, I have added a section to my 'Jewel' page with some screen captures from the VH1 showing last year, along with some audio clips from the show.

To others, it's a sign that the end is near. Yes, we're of course talking about the imminent release of A Night With No Armor, the first book of verse from noted poet Jewel. The tome, to be released later this month, promises to offer insight into the Alaska-bred yodeler's artistic processes -- and, as her label would have it, her explorations of "the depths of being human" -- as evidenced by ditties such as "Paramount, N.Y, 9:34 A.M." and "I Guess What I Wanted Was." And if you find your vision too clouded by tears to actually make it through the entire volume, never fear; there's a spoken-word disc being released at the same time. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 17:50:25 EDT From: Dreachic Subject: Jewel's poem on MTV Hey guys, I also saw MTV's segment on Jewel. I don't think they were being disrespectful to Jewel. I think Carson was responding more to Jesse's reading than Jewel's poem. It's all in good fun; take it w/ a grain of salt, guys. Have a good weekend, Andrea ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 18:26:31 EDT From: ABershaw Subject: MrBB-Jewel Poetry Reading/Book signing Hi all, I'm being bombarded for the date & more info on Jewel's upcoming poetry reading & book signing. Here's all I know so far. On the day Jewel's book is released, May 19th, she'll be doing a reading performance & book signing at The Virgin Megastore in New York City. Jewel's mom said she thinks its around 7:00 PM, but that is not confirmed yet. I'm sure exact info will soon be released to the press & widely available. This will be broadcast live via satellite to the other Virgin stores (not TV). I'm sure you'll see video clips galore on various music/entertainment news programming shortly thereafter. Several other major press dates are also scheduled & I'll let you know what shows will be included soon. Please be patient for details. They'll be posted in plenty of time. More info as I get it.

Riccobono" Subject: NJC: Introduction and request Hi EDA's, I am a new "old" EDA. That is, I am new to this list but have been a Jewel fan for quite a while. I am really overwhelmed by the cool stuff I have learned and people I had read posts from. Now, a friend and myself are in search of Angelfood. Unfortunately, I can't say I really have anything cool to trade right now expect for my promise to stay true to the idea of Angelfood and the fine ideals of this list. Any info. EDA's could send me would be greatly appreciated.

I read the earlier reports about the VJ's being rude about Jewel's poetry book, so I just thought I'd post and say that I just saw one of those little 2 minute "News for Now" and it was with Serena and she was very nice. She spoke about when the book was coming out and about that live reading in NYC (i think??) at that Virgin bookstore whatever and that it will be broadcast through all of the other stores of that name across the country (see the earlier post about this because i can't remember the name of the store and i'm too lazy to re-read the digest again!! :-). So I guess MTV thought they did a lousy job, too, and put on pretty Serena! :-) Oh, have any of you out there hosted an EDA gathering before and would be willing to give me some tips to help make it run smoothly?? I'm going to attempt some kind of BBQ for this summer and would appreciate any helpful hints! Thanks!
