She played a knockout set in a 100 seater venue in Glasgow at the start of June. In the USA you seem to have a really good network of Folk Clubs, unlike anything we have in Europe. Nanci Griffith listed a dozen or so (Passims, Caffe Lina's, The Bluebird, The Cactus Cafe, etc, etc,) in the album notes for 'One Fair Summer Evening', 1988. I intend to drive Route 66 in the Fall, and would like to visit some of these during my journey. Is there a Web Site, or some other way I can find out where all these clubs are? Have any of you listened to our Scottish Folk Hero, Dougie McLean? Certainly give his albums a listen if you can find them. He's a great buddy of Kathy Mattea. I enjoy the chat, hope I'm communicating properly! Don't know anything about e mail etiquette etc. Regards Walter ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jul 1999 16:05:10 -0400 From: patrick t power Subject: Re: [lucy-list] Lucy addiction Walter wrote: <> There are a number of sites you can check out.

Lucy was at the venue I book for, the Ten Pound Fiddle Coffeehouse in East Lansing, Michigan (where Nanci also played just before hitting the "big" time), and she'll be in Flint at the Sippin Lizzard (performance venue of the Flint Folk Music Society) October 3.

Lucy rocks. but we all know that. anyway, i guess i should tell you how i got to listening to her and all that stuff about how amazing her show was over here last month. this could get long and boring....you guys all know the location of your delet buttons, right? I first heard of lucy when i joined the Nancinet, everyone there is totally into lucy , partly because she's sung on a coupla nanci's albums. Then i had about a trillion friends recommend her to me,so i really had no choice than to go out and buy 'flesh and bone'. obviously, i loved it and as soon as 'ten year night' came out i bought it. Anyway, i love 'ten year night', the whole album is seriously cool, i especially love 'end of the day', '5 in the morning', 'turn the lights back on', 'for once in your life' adn 'somewhere out there'. my dad mesmerised me with his steve earle albums as a kid and i've always loved the guy lots and lots and lots.... That's where my story about the show comes in...I got a call from a friend to say lucy was touring over here and booked my tics the very next day... anyway, 6 days before the lucy show i went to here steve earle play here in glasgow. he was great, it was teh first time i've seen him and when he took the stage just him and his guitar,.....woowww!!! anyway, my lil' bro dragged me to the stage door after the show after about and hour , steve appeared, looking confused, me being the youngest and the first in the queue. He looked at me, shook my hand and proceeded to sign the pile of stuff i was holding, when he got to the bottom of the pile he said, "woah", cuz he had been leaning on a copy of lucy's cd to signt the afore-mentioned trivia. i asked him if he'd heard it and he said, "yeah, it's great, she covered my song! it was pretty damn good" and that was about the end of my rendez-vous with mr. earle OK, now to the best bit. the next monday night was the lucy show, it was a teeny converted (!) church in the city. ?. was anybody there??? it's now a tiny stage with about 20 coffee tables placed in front of it, so the audience was great. i bagged a table right at the front. She was great. but i don't need to tell you guys that, you've all seen here, right??? probably a gazillion times...She told a lotta jokes about playing and drinking alcohol in the church. she played all my faves from he new album right at the start...she also talked about ccry3 and asked if anyone had heard of them...i exercised my vocal chords at this bit, hardly anyon ehad.i really, really enjoyed the show, it was total blisss, she's a really funny and interesting person to listen to, besides being an amzing writer and vocalist. when she played 'for once in your life', plus introduction about her mother, she got pretty choked and i have to say i also did. She also played a Loudo III song, something about 'last summer i went swimming', i liked that, anyone know the title? and then there's her dad's pi song!! how cool is that???? The whole show seems kinda blurred now...Anyway, i don't need to tell you every detail, you heard her too. For the encore a few people called out fro 'still life'. Lucy asked for any other requests and i yelled 'somewhere out there' because she hadn't played it yeat. she said, "you bought my album?!!! Thankyou!!". then played still life, and then 'somewhere out there' introducing it with the story of how she met steve last summer at a festival and how he WAS God. after the show she came out to mingle and as she walked past , the people at the table behind started to talk to her, so i (clutching my copy of 'solo') a little nervously walked over and said "He liked the song" and she said "What? sorry, who?" and i said, "steve, he liked it". her eyes just about popped out of her head and she said , "ok, i need to sit down!!! how do you know htis??? tell me about it". so i did, playing it totally cool as if i got to talk to one of my heroes everyday. she nearly hit the roof, no kidding, i htought she was going to kiss me or something, she was like , "thankyou so much, thankyou!!" and then she saw 'solo' and her eys moved even further away from their sockets, "Oh look what you brought, that's so sweet, thankyou" then she ran off to tell rick. she told me to go back and talk to her later. which i did. may seem kinda ordinary to you guys, but remeber i'm just a kid that's used to watching her heroes from a distance ove rthe heads of thousands of other people .she signed 'solo' , asking me where i heard about it and i started to tell her about the nanci net, "ohh, the Nanci net!!! yeah, cool people!!!" We talked for a while and i said hi to her from a friend of mine she knows...(hi pat)she was surprised by that one as well. but eventually i had to go home...the people in the queue behind me were getting a lil' pissed off at the delay...Well,m it was a seriously cool night and i'm looking forward to the next one which is supposed to be in december, right? anyone know more about that? meanwhile i'll just die of jealousy at the thought of a joh/dar/lucy triple bill.....urghghhgh!!! plus all those summer fests...booo-hooo :( I feel really big-headed and self-centered talking constantly about myself when i've only just joined the list....urghh...if there are any other uk lucy-list-eners it would be cool to hear from you guys. WAke Up!! WAake up!! damn, i did it again, i put you all to sleep on top of your keyboards!! oh, well, thanks for listening, luv jenny*, give peace a chance ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jul 1999 20:39:13 EDT From: Steeleye99@aol.com Subject: Re: [lucy-list] New kid and a Lucy Show Jenny, The song you heard was "The Swimming Song" by LW3 of course. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jul 1999 02:44:29 GMT From: Carey Farrell Subject: [lucy-list] Re: FRFF Postscript >Therein lies the best of who will be at Falcon Ridge this year. >The rest, >save maybe for Hart Rouge and Stacy Earle, along with a >couple of >newcomers, is jsut so-so IMO.

She was wonderful (as expected). She did seem surprised that people knew who she was and even knew some of the songs. John Gorka sang with her on a couple of songs and she sat in for almost of all of John's set. John joked that he was using her while he could because he was afraid Lucy would stop taking his calls now that she was such a star with Cry3. Their voices are wonderful together and it was a great day. I missed their joint gig at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco (way too tired after the big Lesbian/Gay Pride Parade). Did anyone go?
