Anyway, once I've cleared the glut of messages from my in-box, I'll write a belated report, but in the meantime ye can take a squizz at this small review that appeared in today's Irish Times (...actually, its about an average size review for the Times, so its not *that* short in their eyes) - I typed it out myself, so the typos are mine. Gerry PS Did anyone in Belfast or the UK ask her for her Da's email address cos I forgot to ask her for it when I met her afterwards? The Irish Times Wed. 9th June - Arts Page Lucy Kaplansky, Whelans (Tony Clayton-Lea) A psychologist in another life, Chicagoan Kaplansky plants herself firmly on the stage, accompanied by a guitar, a mic-stand and a sharp line in wry, deprecating humour. She rips through a selection of contemporary folk songs (her own and others) with alacrity and purpose, occasionally stopping to wonder aloud at both the absurdity and the deathly seriousness of life, the universe and everything else. Like any contemporary folk singer worth their sack of salt, Kaplansky dissects her topics like an experienced chef dicing carrots. Slivers of hard-earned life and the odd quirk of fate litter her songs, but they're not the wordy debris of lesser songwriters. Rather they are a brief litany of fundamental truths gathered up in the arms of a person who has probably seen many a personal disaster. All of this is put across in a personal yet accessible manner by Kaplansky, her songs for the most part superb examples of the art of falling apart, picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and starting all over again. In a word? Spirited. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 17:17:20 -0400 From: patrick t power Subject: [lucy-list] Irish Times 9th June 99 Nice review . . . but how on earth could they not mention her voice?!!

(The Beatles) Considering The South Florida Folk Festival is right around the corner (and Rod Kennedy, of Kerrville fame, will even be instrumental in helping us with a fund-raiser), it's not too early to be thinking about spending January 2000 in The Sunshine State!
