He's not mentioned but it's an interesting article. The two mathematicians they do interview are musicians just like Irving. You can read it here: http://www.oaklandtribune.com/Stories/0,1002,1804%257E532165,00.html I saw John Gorka & Cheryl Wheeler this weekend (separate shows) and can't wait for the Kate Wolf Festival in late June when they'll be singing with Lucy (and Cliff Eberhardt). Alice Peacock's harmonies just don't hold a candle to Lucy & John singing together. susan in alameda ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 11:14:45 -0500 From: "Timothy Bruce" Subject: [lucy-list] On An Asteroid With You... Tonight we shall have fewer clouds and storms around here and should be able to see the five visible planets and crescent moon in the early evening western sky. Too bad I won't be able to see any asteroids (segue) because I have the most infectious pop melody in my head for over a day now and I wanted to share! Unfortunately it is a rare bird that few of you have likely ever heard. It's from an audience tape (not my doing!) of Lucy's birthday show at the Emelin last February. It is a full band, jazz standard version of Lucy singing her Dad's song "On An Asteroid With You". It is SOOO cute! It is Zippy! It is upbeat! And (time to go out on a limb here!) I think she should record it for her next album. Sure it is a risk! But the greater danger is an album in which the songs do not distinguish themselves. This has the most accessible words of any of her dad's songs in my opinion and the band makes it sound like it could have jumped right off of a fifties radio playlist. Some of you may have had a taste of the version I am referring to if you'd heard Lucy do voice with a competent electric guitarist accompanying-- (I'd only heard it a capella before this and that doesn't do it justice). It really comes together with the jazz bass and drums! (Lucy utters "Play it boys" and the band goes into a jazz interlude!) Upbeat and zippy! Lucy has a great feel for jazz standards. Lucy had the (fizzled) movie project to thank for her last upbeat pop number (Don't Mind Me). I think the fact that it is her dad's song could give it the impetus to actually get it to happen. Just my two cents....

"On An Asteroid With You", "The Swimming Song", "More Than This" and "Land of the Living". I'm still wishing for a "live" Lucy album with some of the songs on piano..."If You Could See", "He Still Thinks I Care" and "Hot Burrito #1". Sharon posted about the New Bedford Festival in Mass. Their website has Lucy singing in certain categories including: Not a Dry Eye in the House: songs & tunes that touch the heart I Love the Ground Whereon he Goes: how women sing about love I'll Guard You With My Right Hand: songs of love and sacrifice I tried to decide on one song for each category. Picking one song was extremely difficult!! Not a dry eye in the house: "Land of the Living" I love the ground whereon he goes: "Ten Year Night" I'll guard you with my right hand: "Promise Me" What would you choose?
