Lucy appears on backing vocals on what is the weirdest track "San Simeon" on this rather dull album along with another 4 female backing vocalists and I for sure can't identify Lucy's contribution. You have been warned Apologies to any Ferry fans !

OK, enough, no more parody tonight because I must get down to the serious business of "reviewing" (but Benay, can you really call it reviewing when everything you say about Lucy seems to be overwhelmingly positive?)...OK, then, DESCRIBING, from my admittedly biased perspective, Lucy's two shows in Stamford, CT tonight! The Acoustic Cafe in Stamford is a small venue, maybe a hundred people or so...and there was no opener, which allowed for lots of music from Lucy with Duke Levine. The black leather jacket and dark brown leather pants are the standard Lucy stagewear by now. The sound, especially for the second show, was great, and Lucy seemed to really enjoy herself, as she usually does when she's with Duke. So, setlists...having snagged copies of the "official" ones, I think what follows is mostly right, but it might not be perfect. First show: 1. I Had Something 2. End of the Day 3. Written on the Back of His Hand 4. The Tide 5. Ten Year Night (prefaced with Rick-killed-a-flying-waterbug-in-the-bedroom-and-that's-true-love story, which really does work well as an intro...also the fact that earlier this week was their 14th anniversary!) 6. Don't Mind Me 7. Song About Pi (not sure if this is in the right order, but she did it somewhere) 8. Scorpion (again, somewhere, but not sure it was here) 9. What's So Funny About Peace, Love & Understanding? 10. This Is Home 11. Land of the Living (nothing like these two in a row to make teariness set in) 12. Hot Burrito #1 (which she said she plans to record...hooray, hope it's true!) 13. Love Song New York (Bill Morrissey) 14. Hole in My Head 15. Turn the Lights Back On Encores: 16. Song for Molly 17. It Ain't Me Babe (she worried that she'd forget the words, but didn't) Show #2 1. The Angels Rejoiced 2. One Good Reason 3. End of the Day 4. I Had Something 5. Ten Year Night (preceded by Rick Fights Scary Bug tale...worth hearing again even just for the way Lucy says "FLYING...WATERBUG" and demonstrates the size!) 6. Scorpion (with TYN, the "love medley"...this song was preceded by Lucy's asking if a scorpion was an insect...no, an arachnid, like a spider, she was told...which reminded her of another story, how they were in Arizona and Rick swept a tarantula out of their hotel room with the Wall Street Journal...we were all duly impressed...I dare say some of us from NYC were wishing we could hire him to fight the scary creatures occasionally seen in OUR apartments too!) 7. Guilty as Sin 8. Swimming Song 9. Loch Lomond (preceded by the Scotland story, and how she just had to learn a Scottish song...and then debate over the question of whether there is a Connecticut song...no one knew of one, but I just now checked, for interest's sake, and someone should warn Lucy that there IS indeed a Connecticut state song and she should be grateful she didn't really pledge to learn it! Believe it or not, it's Yankee Doodle, and there are about 14,000 verses after the one we all know, and it ends up getting REALLY weird----if "Song About Pi" is the Close Encounters theme on acid, as Lucy says, then let's just say the full version of Yankee Doodle is sort of like "Mary and the Soldier" on acid! If anyone could bring out the best in Yankee Doodle, it would be Lucy, but I don't think we need to test her on it...) 10. This is Home 11. Land of the Living 12. Hole in my Head 13. Five in the Morning 14. Love Song New York 15. By Way of Sorrow Encores (both with Duke): 16. If You Could See (sorry, Donna...but I can't lie, it WAS amazingly wonderful, and I tried to enjoy it enough for us both!) 17. Mary Magdalene OK, just doing those setlists with commentary has about done me in...but those were two spectacular Lucy shows indeed. Thanks to Sharon and Suzi and Gerry for putting up with my...um...mild enthusiasm and...um...slight obsession with staying for both shows! :-) Benay ------------------------------ End of lucy-list-digest V4 #129 ******************************* 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
