Someone had written me a while ago with chords to Everything Reminds Me of You but I lost that email on account that my computer crashed, so if you read this write me back! I love that song. And I lost all the new song mp3's, most of which I have regained due to a kind EDA ;-) but if anyone has some new goodies let me know, thanks a bunch! cristian New and Improved Yahoo!

No amount of platinum albums will change that now. Her performances Wednesday at the Meadow Brook Music Festival and Sunday at the Clio Area Amphitheater are part of a solo acoustic tour that's been going on periodically since the spring. The Alaska native, born Jewel Kilcher 30 years ago, prefers to tour in spurts, doing 15 one-nighters in a row because "I hate nights off on the road. I've been on the road enough to know I don't like to have a night off anywhere but home," which is the Texas ranch from where she was calling. Jewel has toured with a band for several years now, but loves the challenge of going out there by herself, subject to the whims of nature and the moods of her audiences. She does not work from a prescribed list of songs, nor does she have lighting cues or choreography to concentrate on (though her last year's "0304" was a soundly criticized venture into Britney-style dance-pop). "I hate things that are contrived. I'd rather stay home and not pay for parking or the Ticketmaster surcharges. To me, if I spend my time and money to see a show, I want to see something that's a unique experience, where you get to know (the artist)," she said. "That's why I like to play intimate-sized venues." A concert, she said, is like a dance. "You can't dance by yourself. Well, you can ignore your partner and do what you're scheduled to do, but it doesn't work live," she said. "I get bored." Hard-core fans probably won't twiddle their thumbs at this week's shows, which will include at least some material she plans to record for her next album later this year. Some are old concert favorites she's never released on record, like "Everything Breaks"; others are songs she's written recently. Jewel is recording all of the shows on this tour with the intent of using up to six songs on the next album, along with four or five she'll record in the studio with a band. "I'm definitely trying to narrow down the band stuff," she said. "It's hard because I've written about 40 songs and I'm trying to thin them out." ) 2004 Ann Arbor News. ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V9 #198 ***************************
