It was an honor to be invited to several LRT's that had some of the best musicians in the business. I find it remarkable that these artists would take the time to play in front of a few lucky people and pour as much emotion into their craft as they would in front of thousands. One LRT I attended featured Elizabeth Hummel (San Diego Music Award Winner), the legendary Cindy Lee Berryhill, Lisa Sanders (who recently opened for B.B. King), and Mary Dolan (who has opened up for Ani DiFranco and Dar Williams and is currently collaborating with Bernie Taupin on three songs for her new album). To have that calibre of talent in one living room was amazing. Right now a dream line-up would include Patty, Gregory Page, Lisa Sanders w/Mary Dolan, Cindy Lee Berryhill, Mary Lou Lord, Belle & Sebastian, Sophie Zelmani, Ellis Paul, Dayna Manning, Elliott Smith, Tara MacLean... and so on. On another note, I had a question about Patty's discography. Are there any compilations that Patty has appeared on besides Legacy II? There's probably a webpage that contains her complete discography but I'm offline for the next couple of weeks.

Bartholomew) Subject: MM: patty on compilations well, i didn't realize it at first, but patty appears on one of the cmj monthly cd's that come free in their magazines. one from ...jeez, i can't remember...i'll check on that. but i usually listen to the cd's once and again later in life, therefore, i didn't pick up on patty until last summer when albert wang and chris snyder dragged me out of my hole to see her in cambrige. i'm glad they did. oh, the song that appears on the compilation cd is "moses." how could i have missed it? unfortunately, these are also the cd's that introduced me to the wallflowers, gravity kills, the verve pipe, and some band called atari teenage riot. oh well. fortunately, these are also the cd's that introduced me to semisonic, jars of clay, sepultura (don't ask), and i also got a cool blind melon tune from the schoolhouse rocks project...it's such a cute song. it's a crap shoot with these cd's, you usually don't know what you're going to get...they're supposed to herald new artists and some new music from older artists... again, the magazine is called cmj - new music monthly. later, bill b ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jan 1998 09:29:27 -0400 (EDT) From: kartalst@HUGSE1.HARVARD.EDU Subject: Re: MM: Living Room Tours/Questions Living Room Tours are, indeed, the best! There is no better feeling of intensity, rawness, dreamishness, reality, love, and beauty like the one on one feeling of having someone in your very own home...in your very own corner of heaven, you know? I went to two living room tour stops during the early August tour that Alan Bershaw talked of. It was so incredible! I was so amazed by all this that I held my own living room concert of sorts. Back in November, at my housewarming party (I had just moved up to Boston), I had this amazing young talent, Nick Thompson, come and perform. I had met him one day in Harvard Square while he was sitting on a crate, playing his guitar, and tryingto sell a few CDs. The whole thing was a lot easier than I ever thought it would be, probably made even easier because Nick was so "amateur" that he didn't have a manager to deal with. ...anyone who was atmy house forthat show wanna vouch for Nick?!? =) I am currently arranging a living room concert at my house with the Boston area singer, Jody Blackwell. She is pretty amazing, to say the least, and she has started to become a friend of mine. I am also in the process of speaking to a duo out in Pennsylvania that I admire a lot, Kate & CJ, about the possibilities of them doing a tour once they wrap up their album (they have one album out, it's called CUTAWAY, it might be found in Borders Books....really really beautiful...) And I have presented the idea to another singer friend of mine (who is also a friend of Joy Askew's...), Jenny Bruce, from New York City, about the possibilities. It really does not seem like the most difficult thing in the world...I guess the ultimate simplicity of the concept is one of the things that makes it so amazingly beautiful. If anyone *is* interested in trying to snag Ellis Paul for a living room tour, PLEASE let me know. I am a HUGE HUGE HGUE HUGE HUGE HGUE fan of his...one of the reasons why I am SO EXCITED for the February 21 Patty show at the Somerville Theatre is because it's a double bill...Ellis will also be there! I know that he is working on his new album in NY State, and I knowthat he he is booked solid for touring, at the very least, through the beginning of the summer. But I have his email address, and I have the phone numbers of "his people" so to speak, all from having met him ONCE and from having spoken to some of "his people" before his New Years Eve show up here in Boston! Ellis is one of the most approachable people out there...and he practicallyEXPLODES with passion in his performances...I think it would be an AMAZING concert...especially if for a LR Tour/Concert/whatever would fit would include not only Ellis solo, but Jon Svetky (any of you Boston folks heard of him?), who is one of Ellis's best friends as well as being a singer himself...in fact, when Ellis started out, he and Jon were a duo. Jon opened for Ellis on NY Eve, and he is totally amazing. Definitely, at the very least, as good as Ellis in passion, performance, talent, and dedication. (hey while we are in the mix and fantasizing here, why not throw patty into that LR Tour...as she, too, has her new album coming out and she, too, is one of Ellis's *closest* friends, and she, too, sings with Ellis...background vocals on some songs on his albums...) ok, time for me to get back to current reality and to get back to the piles of work sitting on my desk... take care, y'all! love stephanie Stephanie Maria Kartalopoulos We should be very greatful to have a kartalst@hugse1.harvard.edu limited body...like mine or like The Greek Poet Chyck yours.

I have had the honor of hosting one in my home in August!!! Cindy Lee Berryhill and Elizabeth Hummel came to my house to perform. The next day, my sister, my friend duff, and I travelled 15 hours to Cape Cod to see the following 2 Living Room Tours. I have been to 5 of them, and they have all been AWESOME!! I was even able to go to one of them that featured Elizabeth Hummel, Gregory Page, and John Castro. They have all been fabulous. The Living Room Tours enable the audience to enjoy each others' company while enjoying the company of some of the coolest artists in the world!! I do hope that one day Patty will do a living room tour, but if not, the memories of all the former living room tours will live happily in my mind!!!! Have a great day!!
