Except that it doesn't include The Red Thread, although technically it's not out yet! Sun. Feb. 15 Lucy Kaplansky Barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers, such as Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, and others. With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone's favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. Convinced that her calling was in another direction, Lucy left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Psychology. Upon completing her degree, Dr. Kaplansky took a job at a New York hospital, yet she continued to sing. Lucy was often pulled back into the studio by her friends, who now had contracts with record labels (and wanted her to sing on their albums). She harmonized on Colvin's Grammy-winning Steady On, on Nanci Griffith's Lone Star State of Mind and Little Love Affairs, and on four of John Gorka's albums. She also landed soundtrack credits, singing with Suzanne Vega on Pretty in Pink and with Griffith on The Firm, and several commercial credits as well - including "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. Then Shawn Colvin - who was itching to produce a record - hooked up with Lucy, her ex-singing partner. When Lucy's solo tapes got into the hands of Bob Feldman, president of Red House Records, he was blown away. Suddenly, Lucy was back in the music business. Red House released The Tide in 1994 to rave reviews, and within six months Lucy signed with a major booking agency and began touring so much it required leaving her two psychologist positions behind. Both The Tide and her second album, Flesh and Bone received significant radio airplay. Lucy was also featured on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and "Morning Edition," Mountain Stage, West Coast Live, Acoustic Cafe, and Vin Scelsa's "Idiot's Delight." Lucy's voice continues to remain in high demand by her peers, and she can be heard on recently-released albums by Nanci Griffith and John Gorka. Another recent project combined the talents of Lucy, Dar Williams and Richard Shindell into a "folk supergroup" of sorts. Her new recording, Every Single Day, features Lucy's sumptuous voice on seven original tracks and four cover songs. 8 PM, $14, ballroom As a bit of trivia, in case you're wondering about a strange name like Beachland being located in Cleveland, it takes it's name from the former nearby Euclid Beach Amusement Park (now a housing development) located on Lake Erie. (which I went to many, many times.) Beachland is a great venue. They have concerts in the Tavern and Ballroom. I saw Lucy at the Tavern in '01 which she filled. They apparently expect a bigger crowd this time. Bought my 'snowbird' ticket to FRFF Tuesday night. They have raised the available discounted 4 Day w/Camping tickets from 300 to 325 due to early demand. Even so, more than half are now sold. I went for the first time last July and had a GREAT time.

Lucy didn't know the lyrics, and promised to know them before coming back. She's been back since, but never sung it. NOw that you're coming back to Pittsburgh this weekend Lucy here are the lyrics. HOpefully someone will get this to you. Us in Pittsburgh would LOVE to hear it :-) Beatles's Lyrics - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds Lyrics Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And shes gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies, Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, That grow so incredibly high. Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, Waiting to take you away. Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, And youre gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Picture yourself on a train in a station, With plasticine porters with looking glass ties, Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle, The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes ===== Simona L. Loberant "Every now and then go away, even briefly, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer; since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power." **Leonardo da Vinci __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Learn to play guitar. Audition to be part of Lucy's band (of course you will only work when she is not playing solo) and then politely suggest to Lucy the songs you would like to perform!!! Lol!
