(eg West Houghton) We paid #12.50 in Pontardawe - with no concessions available for younger members of the party. The reason I ask.... I'm about to start hosting and promoting a Kate Campbell concert here in Mid Wales - a first for us. I just wanted to do a bit of comparative pricing before settling a the final ticket cost. Also... I know this is a Lucy list but I would be interested to hear from any listers who might have seen Kate perform live. And just for Benay... the umbrella and the shoes thing... you're in good company, it's raining here in Wales for the first time in ages. That's we get for living on the edge of the Atlantic! Peter ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 09:02:57 -0400 From: "Benay Bubar" Subject: [lucy-list] mental powers continued So I woke up with a headache and blearily turned on WFUV for Sunday Breakfast...which is actually more like Sunday Static, from where I live, but one can occasionally tell that they might be playing music, so I always turn it on anyway. And I was faintly hearing this song I didn't know, and vaguely thinking, "Hope they play something involving Lucy this morning..." Then the song ended, and John Platt came on saying, "That was Eric Andersen with Lucy Kaplansky on backing vocals." More proof that my thoughts are all-powerful! First I thought Lucy into a Rochester date for Simona...and then I wanted a Lucy-related selection on the radio, and I got one right away! (I deduced that the song must have been Eyes of the Immigrant from the album You Can't Relive the Past...chalk up another one for Things I Didn't Know Lucy Was On.) Unfortunately, I STILL wouldn't really know Lucy was singing on that song, because could I HEAR her? Nope...all I could hear was Eric Andersen and STATIC. Guess I need to be more specific in my thoughts in order to get what I want---i.e., I want to hear something Lucy-related on which I can actually DETECT Lucy's presence! The whole sun thing hasn't worked out yet, either, by the way. Maybe my mental powers are only effective for stuff related to Lucy...or perhaps it's just that Lucy needs to return to the East Coast and, as most who were there were convinced she actually DID way back at Clearwater when it poured during her set, Turn the Sun Back On...

I have never heard his music and was wondering if any listers could offer their opinions? Thank Tou. Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 00:38:19 -0400 From: "Benay Bubar" Subject: [lucy-list] not quite a Lucy-less evening Just a quick anecdote...related to Lucy and the power of thoughts once again... A group of us went out for dinner and a movie and dessert tonight to celebrate Suzi's visit to town from her new home in Oregon...Suzi, Sharon, me, Jeff and Sandy and their daughters, and Chris. Those of you who know them will know these names and those of you who don't may be bored by the recitation, but suffice it to say they are all (excepting Suzi) at least semi-regular Lucy-list readers and that if there's a Lucy or Dar show in the New York vicinity, at least some portion of this crowd (very cool people all!) is sure to be there. So it was what I think of as a Lucy-related group, and as we were having dinner at an East Village vegetarian restaurant, I was thinking how strange it was that we were all together and yet for once we weren't going to have any Lucy-related or Dar-related experiences. Then, mid-conversation, Jeff cocked his head to the side and went quiet. It was a noisy restaurant, not unpleasantly so but full of the usual babbling of diners, and I wasn't sure what was wrong with him at first. "I'm listening," he said...and then a sort of hush descended over many of the rest of us as we, too, cocked our heads and developed intense looks of concentration befitting deep-thinking philosophers. For there was music being played through the restaurant speakers. Very, very faint music...at first seeming to be only the suggestion of music, then growing eerily familiar. Could it be...but no, that would be too much of a coincidence...but just maybe... It was Sharon, I think, who got up to assume a better listening stance and make the identification...yes, it was Lucy! And then we all recognized it: Ten Year Night. Followed directly, I'm pleased to say, by End of the Day. So even though her schedule shows she was in New Mexico, Lucy's VOICE, at least, did make an unexpected public appearance in New York tonight after all...and for a most appreciative audience.

I can't tell by the way you wrote the vignette, Benay. Because, if you have as good a memory as I know you have, you may remember I am here in Oregon waiting for Lucy in December. I know of no one who loves Lucy here besides me, and would like to know that I will see Suzi at the Portland Art Museum Concert??? if she is awaiting our girl as I am. ...... or maybe she will be seeing her in Eugene? I have been brushing up on The Tide and Flesh and Bone so I can be a "better reviewer." I am new enough to Lucy that I have previously only "worn out" her two most recent cds, so I am doing my homework. (If you remember I am a teacher, so I'm trying for extra credit!!) Sarah ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 01:29:18 -0400 From: "Benay Bubar" Subject: [lucy-list] the Oregon situation Of course I remember you, Sarah! :-) In answer to your question, I would say that Suzi is first and foremost a Dar fan. (Which is perfectly OK, even with me.) She LIKES Lucy and has been to a few Lucy shows and enjoyed them, so there's no slight to Lucy on Suzi's part, but I don't know that she's enough of a Lucy fan to go on her own to see Lucy in Oregon. (In her further defense, she also has a really, really busy graduate school schedule, so I'm not even sure she'd be able to go if she did want to.) But I'm sure that even if Suzi doesn't go, there are other Oregon Lucy-listers, or people who go to shows there and could become Lucy-listers. (Maybe some are even already lurkers...incidentally, hooray for lurkers! I think lurkers should feel regularly appreciated too.) We just have to bring a couple more out of the woodwork. And in the meantime, Sarah, this makes you all the more important! I always know there are at least several others who could review the Lucy shows I go to, but you are as yet our only known Lucy-list link in Oregon (at least, as far as I can recall right now)! This isn't to suggest pressure...in fact, no official "brushing up" is necessary. Just go to the shows when the time comes and enjoy and tell whatever seems worth telling afterward (and even if it doesn't seem worth telling, tell anyway...heaven knows, and the list knows, I burble on about a lot of relatively insignificant stuff). That will automatically make you a good reviewer! (And I bet you will easily "wear out" Lucy's first two CDs too...I am inordinately fond of Flesh & Bone.)
