I'm doing the dreaded cross-posting thing to say that anyone who missed Tracy Grammer's show at The Knitting Factory last weekend because it conflicted with Lucy's show at WPC have another chance this coming week. Tracy will be at the Turning Point in Piermont, NY, just a stone's throw from the Tappan Zee Bridge (well, a stone's throw if you're Pedro Martinez) or just up the Palisades from the GWB. Wonderful little 60-seat venue with great sound and without a bad seat in the house. And they serve an outrageous brownie. Hell, if you show up, I'll BUY you an outrageous brownie.

I arrived in D.C. yesterday on a VERY early train, and several subway rides later was able to connect with my gracious hosts, Libby (yes, THE Libby Wiebel...I actually KNOW her!...it is so cool) and Joanne. I had to arrive early because Libby was singing in the National Cherry Blossom Festival at the tidal basin in front of the Jefferson Memorial! It was my first live Libby show, and it was great...though I was delinquent enough not to keep a set list, I enjoyed all of the five or six songs that she sang (buy Libby's CD! subliminal plug...). But I have to say that my very favorite part was when Libby sang Five in the Morning...and dedicated it to me, right out there in public! (Fitting, although this didn't relate to the song's meaning...that was approximately the time I'd had to get up to get there in time to see Libby sing!) It was very, very cool. Then we were off to Owings Mills, Maryland, to the Gordon Center for the Performing Arts, which turned out to be a Jewish community center way back on a wooded road. It was a nice venue, large enough for a few hundred I would guess, not sold out but seemingly fairly close to it. Lucy came on first. I actually don't have my set list in front of me at the moment, but I think this was it, albeit not quite chronologically: Cowboy Singer Written on the Back of His Hand Don't Mind Me Ten Year Night End of the Day I Had Something The Thread Scorpion This Is Home Land of the Living By Way of Sorrow Guinevere After the first few songs, Lucy invited Richard onstage for Ten Year Night...and that was when the trouble began. His guitar was giving horrible feedback, and he had to stop playing after a minute or so and just sing. Throughout Lucy's set both she and Richard were asking for various sound changes in their monitors, seemingly without success, and Richard couldn't get that guitar to work. Finally he just got another guitar...but his monitors also apparently weren't working at all. He spent some of the intermission trying to fix things, but it never did work out and he was clearly frustrated. Still, it was a tribute to the professionalism of both Richard and Lucy that they managed to soldier on through their sound troubles (things actually sounded very nice from the audience!) and even laugh about it, and create their signature gorgeous harmonies in the process. Richard sang with Lucy on Ten Year Night, Scorpion, I Had Something, This Is Mine, By Way of Sorrow, and Guinevere. During Richard's set, Lucy sang with him on Are You Happy Now?, The Next Best Western, and Mary Magdalene (Richard on lead). They finished off the show together with The Angels Rejoiced and their fantastic rendition of Farewell to St. Dolores. It was my second hearing of The Thread, and although I still haven't gotten many of the lyrics down, the song has taken up residence in my head (in a good way). The full chorus goes, "This much I can say, this much I can do/When your heart is empty, I'll try to fill it for you/'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you." It really is my favorite of the new songs thus far and I can't wait to hear it again...as I will on Sunday, when our little tour group makes the pilgramage to see Lucy and Richard again in Harrisonburg, Virginia. (We can't see Lucy and Richard in Easton, MD tonight because of conflicting concerts---we're defecting to Susan Werner for the evening. I must admit that if I had my choice, I'd probably be in Easton, but I'm dependent on the people who are doing the driving!) Must get off the computer now...hope this works, as it's not my usual email access method...best wishes to all...
