But there's something so sweetly pure about her that it doesn't seem incongruous -- although when this crowd is singing along to her rendition of John Denver's "Country Roads," they're probably thinking about their homes in Westport. Now 71, the singer-songwriter has retained her gorgeous soprano voice and flowing hair. Strumming her acoustic guitar and accompanied by a pianist, she provides a warmth that transcends the room's soft lighting. She opened Tuesday night with "How Can I Keep From Singing?" It's clearly a rhetorical question, as Collins delivered a generously lengthy, 90-minute set that she seemed reluctant to end. None of her material seems tossed off - -- she invests all of her song choices with deep meaning, from her loving "My Father" to a paean to her longtime home "Denver" to her moving song about 9/11, "Kingdom Come." A folk singer through and through, Collins seems most comfortable when telling stories through her songs, as with the classic "Barbara Allen" or her own "The Blizzard." She takes material that would seem hokey in lesser hands -- "Danny Boy" or "Ghost Riders in the Sky" (with its "yippie-yi-yay" refrain) -- and makes them fresh with her unaffected approach. And she's clearly not competitive, singing songs by such contemporaries as Joan Baez ("Diamonds and Dust") and Joni Mitchell ("Midway"). Throughout the evening, she delivered amusing, sometimes self-deprecating comments. "I like to look back, but not to stare" was a typical aside. After a quick effort at tuning her guitar, she muttered, "That's close enough for folk music." Her encore was her signature hit "Send in the Clowns." Even after a year of its being sung at countless Sondheim tributes, Collins made it sound like a revelation. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 11:00:01 -0500 From: Michael Paz Subject: Join The Pazfest II YAHOO GROUP GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!

I have listened to the recording of that show with much pleasure over the years. I love her singing and her wonderful stories. A gorgeous woman with a lovely singing voice, Hollywood wasted her talent for years, mostly using her in musicals for one or two songs that could easily be cut out for distribution in the American South of the 1930s and 40s. But she refused to compromise herself and triumphed in the end. I thought she wiped up the floor with Diana Ross with the one song she did in the otherwise forgettable film version of 'The Wiz'. She only got better as she got older. A great legend and yes, Jerry (we agree once again), a superstar. A great human being, too.

The previous (unnamed) hosting company suspended the site a half a dozen times for "overloading the server". Each time, I obliged by rewriting the databases and tweaking the code to try to comply with their requests. Ultimately, over the past few days, I made our hejira from the host in question and moved to another host with a better understanding of the code base and a much more helpful attitude. My apologies for all the downtime - we no longer plan to weave a course of grace and havoc and vow to remember that you get what you pay for. Les, your humble servant.
