[lucy-list] next best thing to seeing Lucy...hearing Lucy

Subject: [lucy-list] next best thing to seeing Lucy...hearing Lucy

Last night, on my way to Harvard Square to catch Jenny Reynolds at Passim, I
heard the familiar opening chords on WUMB and sure enough, there was Lucy
singing Mary and the Solider, totally making my evening.  I thought "it
can't
get any better than this."

Now, before I get into part two, I have a disclaimer to make.....I, unlike
my
partner in crime, the divine Ms. G, have never written in to report on
covers
of 10-Year-Night that are, at best, shall we say, unsubstantiated (and at
worst, borderline psychotic :-)?  With this in mind, imagine my surprise
when
the opening act, Brenda Evans, for her second song mentions that she is
going
to sing something by one of her favorite songwriters whom she respects and
admires and loves so much.......LUCY KAPLANSKY.  Neglecting to gauge the
audience appropriately (they were a rather sedate crowd), *I* hear Lucy's
name and let out a rather large whoop and start clapping, which meets with
TOTAL silence.  Brenda then turns in my direction and asks "you've heard of
her, have you?"  :-)

It wasn't 10-Year-Night, but it was a beautiful, beautiful cover of The
Tide.
 This was my first time hearing Brenda, and she reminds me a lot of a PG-13
Cheryl Wheeler...her voice has a very similar quality to it as Cheryl's.
Brenda nailed this song (with her drummer doing the back-up vocals and
percussion), and, as I told her afterwards, she totally made my night.  We
then spent a good portion of the intermission waxing poetic in further
homage
to the DOC.

That's my Lucy news for the evening......unless you'd count Jenny Reynolds
deciding to end with 10-Year-Night after hearing what a great job Brenda did
on The Tide (just kidding! :-)

Peace,
Sheila
