It was kind of funny. It was all in context. I won some sort of contest to spend a weekend with Lucy. It was somewhere in upstate California. I met her in a restaurant. We had dinner and I found out that she was the most dull person in the world. There was NOTHING to talk about. She was completely perplexed as to why anyone would think that spending time with her would be a prize. She had a bad condescending attitude about the whole thing. We just sort of sat there and didn't know what to say to each other. I was so disappointed. Of course we know that the REAL Lucy isn't like that. Dreams are funny that way. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 23:00:59 EST From: SM082987@aol.com Subject: [lucy-list] Kent stage 03/22/2002 Went to Kent Stage to see Lucy last night. The Kent Stage is the old Kent theater in downtown Kent, Ohio. Kent, home of Kent State University, is a half hour northeast of Akron, maybe 45 minutes southeast of downtown Cleveland. The Western Reserve Folk Alliance is trying to turn the theater into a medium for live concerts and Lucy was the guniea(sp?) pig. After the opening act Lucy came on with a brown leather jacket and black leather pants. To be honest she looked tired at first, but she gathered a head of steam and was just great. She joked about how it was her only Ohio stop on her world tour and that she wasn't sure where exactly she was, which I understood because it is a small college town off the beaten path, but not so much more than Oberlin, where I saw her three years ago. I don't know how she does it, going city-to-city in 24 hrs. and trying to stay orientated. Anyway, here is the set list in the wrong order; (unknown) "....written by ????? and once sung by George Jones"... very pretty, slow, the sound was good for her vocal and guitar, One Good Reason. Back of His Hand, Broken Things, Ten Year Night ("now a 16 year night", you know, the kitchen floor song"), Alphabet Song( " what day is it? ... my father is 85 today",,,I talked to him this morning but it seemed like a day ago").Pi song, again with much funny, anecdotal and loving stories about mom and dad. The song she learned in Scotland "Bonnie Bay?..."along with the Irish Whiskey story), a song about NYC and Sept. 11th that Gorka urgerd her to put together (this song generated a lot of applause) and was sung on a morning TV show but I guess not seen in Ohio. Five in the Morning, Guilty as Sin (story about tv show), Turn the Lights Back On, By Way of Sorrow, which she said she forgot to mention Cry. Cry, Cry but it was anticlimatic and everyone knew who they were anyway so it was no biggee. There was a short encore, Guineviere(sp?). This was my third time seeing Lucy, the first in Oberlin three years ago, the second in Newport (Viking Friday Night with Gorka, Wheeler, and Eberhardt), and I wanted to meet her and she was going to "sign anything, even bananas" but our friend's child paged her in the theater and might have broken some ribs and so we had to get going. Alas, why me? -Brian in Ohio ------------------------------ End of lucy-list-digest V4 #74 ****************************** This has been a posting from the Lucy Kaplansky mail list digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe lucy-list-digest" in the body of the message
