I don't mind off-topic posts. Posts that are off topic reveal what an intellectually active group we have. They reveal our open mindedness and diversity of thought. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Being #14 is nothing to be ashamed of....Lucy is in some very good company. Considering that four of the performers on this list are deceased (Phil Ochs, Kate Wolf, Eva Cassidy, and Dave Carter), you know that the people who vote on this list are very dedicated fans who know their folk music. What disappoints me is that Lucy is frequently played on WNCW in North Carolina, and has performed here many times as well (she's coming to Charlotte 02/28/04), but her CD's never show up on their listener polls for the top 100 CD's of the year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Steve Gilmore Charlotte, NC USA Hey, one Lucy-related note...though I'm not from Boston, it's worth pointing out that Lucy's #14 on this year's WUMB top 100 list---this year I think the theme was songs you love to listen to when you get the blues (Lucy sure works for that!). Anyway, she was #7 last year, but it's been longer now since her last album...and #14 is VERY respectable, especially since Boston's such a big music town and Lucy doesn't even play there live all that often! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Steve Gilmore (no relation to Thea or Jimmy Dale) Charlotte, NC USA Ok, well if Sarah McLachlan is not to everyone's taste... May I introduce you to a great singer-songwriter from England.....Thea Gilmore. She's only 23, but has already made a number of albums...but 2 that you may be able to access... "Rules for Jokers " and her latest " Avalanche". I went to see her 2 weeks ago in London at a small venue called La Scala.. She mostly did new stuff from Avalanche. She had a great band with her ( bass,drums, keyboards,guitar)...and she plays guitar herself. I only mention this....( I know this is Lucy's domain)...but we do have a bit of an hiatus at the moment. So you might like to give Thea a listen. All the Best, John. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

One more is KTBG ("the Bridge"). It identifies itself as a Kansas City station, but it really comes from Central Missouri State University (in Warrensburg, Missouri, 50 miles east of Kansas City. It's more of an AAA station than a folk station, but it still features its share of singer songwriters.

After looking into what I'd need to do, it'd be cheaper and easier for me just to go and do a PhD! Maybe this is part of the reason we can't get enough teachers anymore! There used to be fairly simple ways for someone with their MS to go and become certified to teach...obviously I'm qualified to teach science if I have a MS in it and have been teaching college for 3 years!! But no...I moved from KS to CT and before I left, I was looking at some teaching jobs. There was one in Topeka for a teacher to teach Biology and Earth Science (hmm what my degrees are in) and as of Oct they didn't have a teacher so they had a substitute teaching it.....but they wouldn't hire me because I didn't have a teaching certificate. I found it highly amusing that they would rather have someone teaching it who may not even have a college degree than someone who has a BS and MS in the sciences.....
