Well, Ellis Paul said during his 9/2 concert at the Bottom Line that he and Lucy would be playing there the day after Thanksgiving...I think that's my sole source of information on it. (I would love for him to have been just slightly wrong---say, for them to be playing earlier that week, or sometime the following week. Assuming it IS the day after Thanksgiving, I've been thinking of rushing back to NY after the holiday because after all, how long do my relatives really NEED to see me when I could be seeing Lucy?) I'd be interested in Cheryl Wheeler album suggestions, too, so if anybody has thoughts on that, please post them to the list!

This was exciting on many levels, not least of which I got to pet livestock (I grew up on farmland, but now live in Boston, where there just aren't that many goats or sheep running around....though I have found wild turkeys in my back yard). I also bonded with a humming llama, which was pretty cool (llamas make this sound like one of those cows in a can that you flip over to make the sound). Soule was holding a harvest fair this weekend, and part of that included the Joe Davies Folk Fest (I think that was the name....) and today's headliner was none other than our Lucy. There was a hair crisis, as the wind just would not cooperate and insisted on blowing in the wrong direction, but a kind volunteer from the fest brought Lucy a hair clip and actually did her hair up really cute, though it was VERY Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. The geese were a bit too loud, but the scenery behind Lucy was stunning.....rolling fields, the very first tiny bits of autumn foliage, and the late-afternoon light just bathing everything in a golden glow. She could have easily been standing in the backyard of my childhood. Definitely one of the most unusual places I've seen the Doc, but one of my favorites now for precisely its novelty. The set list went as such: Mary and the Soldier One Good Reason Guilty as Sin ** Speaking with the Angel Ten-Year Night Don't Mind Me (the movie song) Go Inside ** Scorpion Swimming Song For Once in Your Life You're Still Standing There ** Turn the Lights Back On By Way of Sorrow Mary Magdalene (encore (request)) ** These were brand spanking new songs (to me) so I named them for the purpose of this post. I have no idea what the names actually are, so I went with what spoke to me. I can attest that the words of the title actually do appear in the song, so they're not wild fabrications :-) I had a really great time, and it was great to be able to see Lucy again. She sounded FABulous and nailed every song. Then, from there, I was off to see Richard Shindell with Beth Amsel opening this evening in Lexington (and all this is after seeing Dar in Providence last night....and I have Cliff tomorrow night...sharonG has taught me well). I just want to plug the life out of Beth (www.bethamsel.com). She is adorable and sweet and her voice is UNbelievable...sultry, throaty, passionate (Beth has been described as having a "pure voice that flits easily from Joni Mitchell to a duskier Dar Williams"....can't tell you where the quote is from, though). Tonight was her birthday and she nearly cried as the house sang her happy birthday. She rejoices in every kindness shown to her......smile at her and say hi and you're made to feel like you're her oldest best friend in the world. She only has one CD out....A Thousand Miles....but she's been around as part of Voices on the Verge (with Jess Klein, Erin McKeown and Rose Polenzani). I can't recommend her enough, truly. She is simply enchanting....to find her opening for Lucy some time would be sheer nirvana. Good night!
