She really has so much material, and so much talent, it's nice to see her enjoying an entire stage to herself. She was wearing a low cut, black, rayon-spandex jacket, slightly fitted with 3/4 length sleeves which she told us she had just bought the day before. She was wearing it for the first time. And black jeans that were somewhat faded, and black boots. My favorite part of the evening was when she played "For Once In Your Life", the song she wrote for & about her mother. She told the story about how she wasn't sure how her mother would take it, and her mother ended up loving it. By the time she started into the show, I think telling the story had made her kind of emotional, and she perfectly channeled the emotion into the song, and I don't think I was the only one with tears in my eyes. While she was singing, "maybe there's something that I could give you now," I was thinking: that's it!! She is giving her mother the song. And after Lucy finished playing the song, she stated the exact same thing and said it had just occurred to her that very day. It felt like for a moment, we had shared a wavelength or something!! Lucy played most of TYN as well as some older material and some cover songs. I really liked the "Swimming Song" (somebody please remind me who that's by?) and another song that may have been called "Someday Soon" but I didn't catch the name of the author (please help!) She also played 2 CCC songs: she opened with "Speaking With the Angel" and ended the regular set with "By Way Of Sorrow". Both of which were very good, but I missed hearing the harmony vocals!! The crowd really loved Lucy. She did 2 encores, each with 2 songs. The last encore was "Guinevere" and "In the Eyes of My Beholder" i think...both of which I had never heard before and I loved. By the way, Chris Rosser opened for her, and I liked his set so much that I bought his CD. It's very, very good. My favorite song is called "The Laundromat Song (Imagine That)" it's so sweet and romantic and dreamy, and Chris is a really good guitar player and his guitar and mellow voice really capture the mood of his song. If you haven't checked him out, I highly recommend him!! (PS he's very tall, dark, and handsome too:) OK, gotta rest now but I look forward to hearing others' reactions if you were there too!

Loudon Wainwright III (ex-husband, brother, father in the Wainwright-McGarrigle family). And, Alyssa, GO BUY TICKETS! You'll be crazy about Greg Brown. He's a fantastic story teller, songwriter and singer, with a quirky deep voice. If you're very lucky, Greg will have Bo Ramsey with him on guitars. Bo is the most amazingly understated side-man you'll ever see. Just the right licks, in just the right places. –Richard ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 23:21:56 -0400 (EDT) From: eric Subject: Re: [lucy-list] NLC alyssa wrote: >'Scuse the NLC.

Superb singer/songwriter from Iowa, writer of "Lord, I Have Made You A Place In My Heart" covered by C3, Host/Narrator(?) of "Mississippi River of Song" as heard/seen on PBS & NPR. Umpteen records on Red House Etc. Etc. Etc. Yes, you should absolutely go see Greg. He's one of the reason's Red House Records exists. My advice is to get there early and sit close, he can be a little hard to understand from the back of the room. [Depending on the soundman 8~)] And if Bo Ramsey is with him, you're in for a real treat. But he may be touring with Lucinda still.

My sister hates that I keep telling this, but she's not on the list, so I can get away with it again. :-} My sister decided after seeing Greg Brown at Falcon Ridge that he was the man she would marry, just so that he could sing to her. She then saw him up close, and decided that she could live with the fact that he's a bit older than she is, just so that she could hear his voice. He's got that sort of voice. So, Alyssa, go. And if he's got Karen Savoca and Peter Heitzman with him, go early and make sure you catch them. 'later, jeff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "I'm not a great big visionary, George.
