Actually I've been on the list since way back, I very very seldom post so that's why you never see (hear) from me. I have a bunch of old vcr tapes around of Jewel playing mtv spring break with her old blue guitar and doing a duet with Sophie B. Hawkins lots of stuff like that and some cassette tapes from the day. I play a little guitar myself and have even written a couple songs that were inspired by Jewel oh and of course been to a few concerts, my first one she was opening for Neil Young. And have enjoyed being a member of the list and reading all the cool Jewel info. You all have a great day from Rochester N.Y.----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry S.

This list. Ah, this list. I joined this list back in 1996, I think. I was 10 years old, a shy little gawky kid in North Carolina. Pieces of You was my first CD; I got it for Christmas '95 along with Ace of Base's The Sign. I fell in love with Jewel after seeing her perform with Melissa Etheridge on VH1. Back in the heyday of fan club sites, I started up a Jewel site called Let Me Fly that was reviewed in Entertainment Weekly and had massive traffic before I merged it with my pal Tanner's even bigger site Planet Jewel. I ran Planet Jewel for a good while before it became too much of a chore. All of the Jewel sites seemed to come down near each other, no one really having the energy to do it anymore. No one really loving Jewel the way they did before. Jewel and the EDA list were a huge part of my growing up process. She's changed, I've changed. I don't really feel like she'll ever be someone I have the same zest for, but unlike other people, I don't seem to put all of the blame on her. Sure, I think her songwriting has become mostly mediocre, but I don't know if I would have gotten into her in the first place were I to be in the same mental place i am now. I moved to New York City at 18, became a totally different person, even changed my name from Scott to Ferrin... 1995 was a long time ago. Scarily long. But still, glimmers of hope come through. I like Jewel's embrace of Twitter. I like that I could lobby her to start singing the DDDelight version of Carnivore again--a version she didn't remember until I uploaded a Youtube clip and showed her--and she actually DOES now. Honestly, who do you know that utilizes Twitter that much? I have hope that after the partnership with Valory ends and she goes indie, she'll start doing direct marketing that allows her to be as flighty as she wants to be with music styles and songwriting. Things will never be the same, but maybe that's all for the best. It will never change how much POY meant to me, how much Hard Rock Live and Unplugged meant to me, how much the EDAs and Jewel meant to me... Lots of love, Ferrin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 23:24:15 -0500 From: Me Subject: Re: [EDA] 2011 is SO depressing... > Ferrin and EDAs, I really enjoyed what you wrote!!
