For those who are still wondering, however, just before the song "Go Now" ends, Patty says "Oh, man. That organ kills me" This is presumably in response to the organ sound that comes in just before she speaks. I had to post because this has been killing me. Thanks for your indulgence! - -john ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 08:40:06 PDT From: "Sean Palen" Subject: MM: peter pan Hey MMers I have been a fan and on the listsince before there was one, and I finally, after a year of listening to you all talk and rave about the album, I bought Flaming Red. I would not have , but I was falling asleep and put on Patty's performance and interview (www.liveconcert.com) on KCRWs archive, I fell half way asleep and then opened my eyes when I heard the first piano on Peter Pan(she does it her on piano , no band, my immediate first favorite. To anybody else who hasn't bought FR because they are weary of the new sound, pick it up , it is a great cd.

Thanks, Stephen ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:40:53 EDT From: Hejjira1@aol.com Subject: MM: Just a random thought : c ) Please Read I think the best music out there is the one you buy...listen to a few times.....and then throw aside.......only to rediscover maybe a few months or years down the line the jem you tossed aside. It was like that for me with Patty's "Living With Ghosts". I had read an article about her new (at the time) album and was intrigued by under which the conditions it was recorded. I thought anyone who had the guts to release their demos as a full length album should be given at least a chance. So I purchased the CD and instantly fell in love with the beauty and heartbreak of Moses. However nothing else past that first track grabbed me really the way Moses did. I obviously wasn't listening that hard. Patty was resigned to the CD's I listen to once in a great while or when I made a mix tape and Moses was in need. Well fast forward a year and Flaming Red came out. I bought the CD again under the curiousity of hearing what it would sound like.......the girl with the acoustic guitar releasing her demos was now rocking out with a full band. I immediately fell head over heels for Flaming Red and it became my soundtrack for the summer of 98. Of course when you fall in love with one album you tend to want to learn more about the artist's past catalouge and fortunately I already had Living With Ghosts.....this time I was really listening. The simplicity and beauty of that album blew me away like no other album has before. My best friend/cousin, Rachel, didn't have a functioning radio that worked in her car. So all last summer instead of trying to find that one channel that came in clearly....we would switch the radio off and sing Patty at the top of our lungs. I taught my cousin all the songs and she knew how to sing each and everyone of them before she even listened to a single note off the albums. When she did, however, she was hooked just as I was. We have seen her twice....last summer at Mama Kin's and just a week ago in Northampton. Both times she has taken our breath away. I only wish that Patty sticks around and has a fruitful career (not too fruitful though.....part of what I love about her is the intimacy she brings to each note she sings). It would break my heart to have to see Patty at a place like Foxboro Stadium or Great Woods even though I would gladly fork out the money to do so. So there is my long pointless story as to how I stumbled across Patty Griffin and the way she has affected me. If you got to the end of this: GOOD FOR YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!! Now tell me what your story is........... Peace out, Paul "Some kids like watching Saturday cartoons, some girls listen to records all day in their rooms. But what do birds leave behind, of the wings that they came with, if a son's in a tree building model planes? Skeletons."

That album was Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos. Silent All These Years was a wonderful song, but it took me 2 months to listen to any other song on the album. It was a year after I bought the album that I enjoyed "all" of it. Thanks for writing Paul! :-) John ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 21:52:15 -0400 From: "Donna Littell" Subject: MM: Painted Bride - 4/23 I now know why most everyone on the list favors Patty's acoustic shows. I'm really glad I got to see her in such a small venue before she gets too famous. BTW, I was the one with the dog.
