It's a true story from Saturday evening in Melbourne, Australia. Enjoy! MrBB The Jewel Experience By Todd Lynch It was a typical Saturday night at Fenians Pub with a small but growing crowd. The punters were hanging around to watch us, Not Enough Rope, play with our usual form and sharing a few pints of Guinness with friends. However, for this story to continue, I would have to say that the night went on to be a most unusual evening indeed. It would be a night remembered by all members of Not Enough Rope, the punters and staff of Fenians. I was playing the accordion in my usual style and it was getting towards the end of the last set when I noticed this girl staring at me. I looked back at her thinking to myself that I had seen her face somewhere before. It was a pretty common thing for me; we play so many gigs there is always someone who you see a couple of times. In any case, this girl was with a couple of other guys and one of them came up to me as we were half way through our second last song. He asked me in this great American accent if we were playing for much longer, and I said to him that we had one more song after this one. He said that was great and asked if we minded if they got up and played a couple of songs (referring to the people he was with). This is also not an unusual thing to happen to our band. There always seems to be some drunken would be if he could be who wants to have a go after we finish. This guy may have seen the look of disappointment on my face - I don't know - but he very quickly stated that he was with Jewel and they would really appreciate it if they could get up and play a couple of songs. It was at this point I realised who I had been staring at. Jewel the singer, had been watching us for a good part of the evening and now wanted to play on our stage, using our instruments. Of course I had absolutely no hesitation what so ever to say of course you can play after we finish. I later found out I was talking to Steve Poltz who was Jewel's support and guitarist on her tour. So we finished our gig and hopped off stage to meet Jewel and her band (at this stage no one in the pub knew what was going on, and people were starting to leave). We all introduced ourselves and they asked us again to make sure it was okay to get up and play. With all that sorted out, we got up on stage and introduced the crowd to Jewel. It certainly didn't take very long for the crowd to realise what was about to happen. We had Steve Poltz on acoustic guitar, Doug Pettibone on bass guitar, Felix on drums, and Jewel at centre stage on the microphone. Jewel and Steve started out singing a duet together in great harmonies. The sound was completely mind blowing and blended with the Fenians atmosphere. The crowd was pumped with absolute awe knowing that they were getting their own personal performance. The place was rockin'. Jewel played a total of four songs (I can't remember their titles), but she did play "Down For So Long" which is the fifth track off her current album 'SPIRIT'. She finished off the evening in usual style with the folk song her father taught her -a yodel. I tell you now that this girl has an amazing voice. By the end of the song, the crowd and her band were cheering her on and the applause filled the air. Jewel sat down and finished with a few quiet drinks with her band as the crowd fumbled for drink coasters and a pen to retrieve her autograph. The impromptu gig was small and intimate but an absolute huge success. The crowd thanked Jewel for her performance and slowly walked home in total disbelief that they had just been blessed with the Jewel experience. To Jewel, Steve, Doug and Felix - on behalf of everyone that night - we thank you. Todd Lynch ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Mar 1999 16:29:56 -0600 From: "Karacostas, Derrick W." Subject: Inpress Magazine (my comments) Is this what the future holds for Jewel? I had an eerie feeling it might be, way before her tour started....only time will tell...(is there an echo)...oh, it's just me saying that again. Jewels needs to ditch the band. Maybe keep Steve and do duets for part of her set. That's it though. It's only going to get worse, meaning the media bashing her. This is just Austrailia! Very early in the tour. - ---------------- > But, to our immense frustration, we only heard it a few times (her voice) > - either she was smothered by her over-populated band (Radiohead needed > less players to reproduce 'OK Computer', and we're running through the > equivalent of Melissa Etheridge B-sides here), or instead of singing songs > she was just blathering on. And on." Ok, I know Jewel, and Jewel blathers, I like that, but the band...no. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 08:43:48 +1000 From: Shane Subject: Aussie EDA's read this.

Subject: Jewel at Fenian's Pub, Melbourne (see???) Sounds like this impromptu gig went off better than her actual Melbourne concert! My point? See my last post. The smaller (as in band size), the better. It just won't happen though. I only wish she'd do something like that here. An impromptu deal. Not likely in the states. But I know I'd enjoy that, all 3 or 4 songs more than a whole band concert set I paid $30+ for. Just my opinion. - ---------------just an excerpt here... > Jewel sat down and finished with a few quiet drinks with her band > (her, Steve, and 2 others, NOT the whole band) as the crowd fumbled for > drink coasters and a pen to retrieve her autograph.

I am a somewhat new EDA and missed Jewel TV and Unplugged, and I don't have copies of any of the 4 shows( there are 4 right?). If you would like to be the true meaning of an every day angel and help a fellow EDA out i would be truely appreciate it and you can even be my best friend( lucky you Ha Ha) Thanks so much, Jake Skyles ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 18:56:50 EST From: Quickit23@aol.com Subject: Critics Let me just say that people seem to forget that critics are only people putting their own opinions down. Why do some people think that the things the critics say are the truth. Their words have no more truth to them than that of any average citizen. I could care less what critics may say....what really matters is how I feel. And for all of you it should only matter how you feel towards Jewels' concerts or music or anything else she may do. Critics are so biased just like their fellow human counterparts. Just like what makes you feel good inside and forget what others say about things. The quality of something is only as good as the value it has for you and not for some person who calls themself a critic. Happiness to all of you.

After a brief hiatus due mostly to travelling board members, the EveryDay Angels Foundation weekly newsletter is back! We have a lot of surprises and events planned for the spring, including more work with the Second Harvest FoodBank network and beach conservation groups. Also, some of you may have read James Murga's post about an EDAF article published in Smile Magazine. We think it's so cool, we're posting it again... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EVERYDAY ANGELS In Jewel Kilcher's first release off of her new album "Spirit", she tells the world "that we're all ok." The EveryDay Angels Foundation, a non-profit charity organization, created by Jewel fans, are making sure that dream comes true. The organization formed by an Internet discussion group on the musician. Before Jewel became a household name, a core group of her fans were regularly attending her performances. Jewel called these fans "everyday angels" in reference to a song from her first album. In early 1997, this group of fans decided to get Jewel a present for her upcoming birthday. She asked instead that they redirect their energies by helping people in need. They've been going strong ever since! To learn more about the organization visit their webpage at www.everydayangels.org or www.edaf.org. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Anyone who wants a hard copy of the magazine can find it at most Barnes & Noble Superstores (the ones that have coffee bars inside). It's the April issue, and it also has a review of Jewel's "Spirit" CD. We anticipate a lot more media coverage over the next year, so stay tuned. For now, watch for upcoming posts regarding events, announcements, and the official opening of membership. And if you have any stories to share about volunteer work you're doing or any other particularly angelic thoughts, by all means send them along and we'll post them in future newsletters! Our email address is EDAFinfo@aol.com. Have a great week, and we look forward to seeing you at future EDAF events!
