I was listening and taping. Unfortunately...my tape ran out when Lucy was singing TYN. I didn't realize how long this show would last....what a cast of characters!! Freedy Johnston sang Todd Rundgren's "I Saw The Light". Does anyone know if Todd has produced any of Freedy's material? He has produced Jules Shear and Jill Sobule It was a great show. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the Bottom Line....although I did get to sleep by 1:00am....instead of 4:00am(Lucy's last Bottom Line show).

I LOVE IT!!!! No, I don't believe that Todd has produced any Freedy material. Can I suggest it to him? Where can I get a copy of this tune? I am a major Todd-head.............. Todd is Godd, ya know! ;=) well, that was said by someone else, many moons ago... Todd's message is one of healing and love.... Check him out.

I was practically speechless when I got it, and now I've finally had a chance to really look through it and take it in and I'm still pretty speechless. You guys have no idea how much this all means to me: the incredibly nice things you all said in your notes that were so sweet and moving, the amazing souvenirs (including an ad for a show I did in 1982, how did you find that?!!), the great, great photos, the notes from my pals Richard S., John G. and Jennifer K., the wacky quotes from me (eg, "I'm such a girl"), the sad, moving drawing of the World Trade Center behind me when I played there this summer. I could go on and on. You probably don't realize it, but you guys are a really big part of my being able to believe that I'm doing the right thing by singing for a living, that I made the right decision to leave psychology, that there's value in what I do. And the book you gave me just underscores that even more. I don't think I can express just how much I appreciate that. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Love, Lucy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 21:07:13 EDT From: Wa2suh@aol.com Subject: [lucy-list] 10/1 Bottom Line Show with a Cast of Thousands Sharon left out a few peformers: Phil Roy John Sebastian Jenni Muldaur Willy Nile Suzy Tyrrell Freedy Johnston Plus other people/groups I wasn't familiar with. The show lasted for 6 1/2 hours and was amazing to listen to through headphones on my couch. I imagine being there must have been a real treat. The show must have featured about 30 performers, most singing one song, but a select few (including Lucy) performing 2. The set-up time between acts seemed to be 2 minutes or less, which is quite an accomplishment. I filled up about 2 tapes with the stuff that I might want to listen to again. Thanks to Alan Pepper of the Bottom Line and WFUV.
