I've heard 2 soundchecks in the last 2 months, and she did "Gypsy" at both of them.... and that's got the line with the jester in the courtyard.... It's a fingerpicked ballad-y type song... There's a few very recognizable lines... (which I will quote from memory, with some mistakes, I'm sure... I'm just now learning to play it, myself...) "you have hands of rain and water".... "and a bump upon the head"..... "you come from far away...." Libby.... who is sure she'll be humming "Gypsy" all day long now.... btw... I'd _highly_ recommend that everyone go out and get a copy of Suzanne Vega's album "Solitude Standing".... the one on which "Gypsy" appears. I love all of her albums, but that one remains my favorite.... ===== libbywiebel@yahoo.com http://www.libbywiebel.com http://mp3.washingtonpost.com/bands/libby_wiebel.shtml "We are blessed when we are fallen.

You come from far away With pictures in your eyes Of coffeeshops and morning streets In the blue and silent sunrise But night is the cathedral Where we recognized the sign We strangers know each other now As part of the whole design Oh, hold me like a baby That will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you And let me hear you through the heat You are the jester of this courtyard With a smile like a girl's Distracted by the women With the dimples and the curls By the pretty and the mischievous By the timid and the blessed By the blowing skirts of ladies Who promise to gather you to their breast Oh, hold me like a baby... You have hands of raining water And that earring in your ear The wisdom on your face Denies the number of your years With the fingers of the potter And the laughing tale of the fool The arranger of disorder With your strange and simple rules Yes now I've met me another spinner Of strange and gauzy threads With a long and slender body And a bump upon the head Oh, hold me like a baby... With a long and slender body And the sweetest softest hands And we'll blow away forever soon And go on to different lands And please do not ever look for me But with me you will stay And you will hear yourself in song Blowing by one day Oh, hold me like a baby... - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of lucy-list-digest V4 #167 ******************************* 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
