I find that I'll be flying into Washington next Monday (gulp....) and I knew the Birchmere was in Alexandria...and I'm probably staying there...so I thought...hey, why not? It would be fun to meet up with some folks from the lucy list if anyone is going! The only thing I know by Catie is "Crash Course..." Feel free to email me privately if anyone is going. I am feeling a bit insane for going through with this business trip to the DC area but also feel like life has to go on and I can't let fear run my life...

Still not sure I have the complete meaning in Written on the Back of His Hand. Understand that each day adds to who we are. Would be interested in reading other 'lister's thoughts. Think the songs ESD & Don't Mind Me are my favs right now. And that's the page in the booklet where I'll have Lucy sign it next time I see her... right next to her smiling face! However, Song for Molly is personally touching for Lucy and me and anyone who has seen a loved one's life slowly slip away.

I don't think I did Song for Molly justice in my little review. I'm still crying every time I hear it. This has very special significance for me, because I watched my grandpa die of cancer for two years, and yes, I know exactly what it's like. He always loved little girls (so proud to have another baby girl) and he had two grandchildren, both of them girls. When my cousin was born, I could see the look in his eyes, the way he must've looked at me when I was littler. He died when my cousin was five, and I was sixteen. She may not remember him at all, and what she does remember will not be that proud look in his eyes. And I thought Lucy would never top Ten Year Night. Lookee here, folks, she just did. :) Flyer Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 11:10:23 -0400 From: "Kristina Plath" Subject: Re: [lucy-list] Fwd: balloon launch-Sept 25th To honor victims(please pass around) On Tue, 18 Sep 2001 09:43:27 Kristen Myshrall wrote: >Umm...I'm all for just about anything that will honor the victims but this >is SOOOO bad for the environment.

The guy at Echoes (one of the 2 remaining local CD stores) knows me well, now... Last time I was in there I bought a bunch of the old merch from Band Box that closed... today I came in... grabbed Tori Amos off the new release shelf... and then went crying to him and said... but, but... Buddy and Julie Miller??? Where is it???? Well... they just hadn't unboxed it yet... whew. So... I got the first copy they sold. *grin* So he says... you like them? And I say yeah... he says... come look at this... and gets out a box of his albums... other things he thinks I might like based on the last time I was in there and then my desparate cry for Buddy and Julie today... shows me Lucy ESD... and goes on about what a GREAT disc it is... I say, I know, I know... I've been listening to it for over a month now... He was freaked out... a MONTH??? Where did you get it a MONTH ago? So I tell him... ummm... a concert in Phoenix... we get to talking... he's a big Lucy fan, too.... what fun. :) And then he shows me Gillian Welch... I say yup... I know some of her music, too... Also hands me Katy Moffatt who I'd never heard before... sets me up at a listening booth with her newest "Cowboy Girl"... which I, unfortunatley for my credit card, decided I needed to buy.... We began swapping favorite album titles... it was fun! I think I've made a new friend... *grin* And I believe I convinced him to order Dave & Tracy "Drum Hat Buddha" for the store... So now... in the office with lots of work to do... but much new music to listen to while I do it! Whooo hoo! Take good care, all...

I WISH!!! I don't know much if any of Catie Curtis' stuff, but I saw Brenda Weiler in Chicago this summer and am in love. Such a voice out of such a tiny person. I will be sitting in my Human Development class envying all those who get to see Brenda. Could you find out if she is attached currently? It would have been rude for me to ask as I was with a date when I was out in Chicago. ;) Please let me know either on-line here or offline how you enjoyed Brenda.

A song about her Grandfather. It hit home because I lost my grandfather about the same time. I related this to her at a show, oddly enough with Lucy, and she seemed truly touched. I'm a Beth Nielsen Chapman fan also, her songs of love, loss and hope are deeply emotional. I even turned my mom on to her when she was going thru a tough divorce. I presented her as the "New Carol King", who she is a big fan of. Speaking of Carol, has anyone seen the GAP commercial with Carol and her daughter? She looks way to young to be Louise(Goffin?), anyone remember her albums from the 80's?

BUT, I have to say that I have not been drawn into a CD like I have ESD in a long, long time (I think the last CD I was drawn to in this capacity was Over the Rhine's "Films for Radio). Which leads me to ask if we have any OTR fans on the site? It is a weird time in the world. I feel bad for feeling bad about my crappy day at work, which led into a crappy night of school, which led to getting a reckless driving speeding ticket on the way home from school (no excuses on this one, I was plain and simple going way to fast). Thank the good Lord that I was not going as fast as my mind was going after my day yesterday....or for the past week for that matter. I mean how can I feel bad when others about the trivial things in my life as others are actually dealing with life and death. I believe I know the answer, but it is not comforting this time. All of this to say that ESD has been playing non-stop (okay Ellis Paul entered my CD player for one spin) for the past two days...and it is sooo very comforting....from start to finish. Again I find myself writing this to people I don't know, for what reason I don't know. Just rambling as I am doing the menial part of my job and letting the day run its course to ESD. The rant ends.
