They were as good as ever and are working on a new record. They debuted three new songs, all of which were really good. They were so giving of their time, everybody who wanted to say hi or bend their hear had a chance. It one thing to go to a huge amphitheatre and see Joni and Dylan and Van M, but I hope everybody on the list also gets at least once chance to see first-class creative artists working in in much more intimate surroundings. eric - ----- Original Message ----- > (Catherine below) > Artists I've discovered through the jmdl: > - - Patty Griffin, > - - Patty Larkin, > - - Jonatha Brooke, > - - Ani DiFranco, > - - XTC (Hi Muller) > - - Cheryl Wheeler (Hey, Ashara!) > - - Dar Williams (I credit Colin for this.

VOTE FOR KERRY I've been thinking about how best to help Kerry win, and this is what I've come up with. I know more than a few people who are registered to vote but are still on the fence for various reasons ... they don't necessarily want to vote for Bush but they're not crazy about Kerry, either (well, neither am I). They're clinging to the noble idea of voting "for" someone, a dangerous notion to hold when the wolf has already crashed through the door while you wait for a knight in shining armor. If every person who has already decided to vote for Kerry "adopts" just one person who is on the fence and helps to convince them to vote for Kerry, he'll win, we all win. If you can help sway two, or five people, all the better. Give them information, point them to web sites and articles, tell them to rent or buy Fahrenheit 9/11 next week, or even treat them to a rental. The analogy I've come up with for myself in answer to the undecided's reluctance to vote "against" Bush instead of "for" Kerry is that when there is profuse bleeding from a wound, the first thing to do is to apply a tourniquet ... before any healing can begin, we must stop the bleeding. In fact, that's my new slogan: STOP THE BLEEDING .. VOTE FOR KERRY Peace, Fred Simon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2004 22:38:07 -0400 From: "janine sherman" Subject: Dreamland in London So very sorry for earlier spelling errors.
