[Mike Connell Subject: MM: my patty experience hello...i am leslie, a seventeen year old girl from kentucky, and i am also sort of a new patty griffin fan. i bought flaming red because i liked the title of the album (i had never heard of the artist). then i fell in love with her voice, her lyrics (she has voice), and her refreshing, undefinable style. i went to lilith fair this past august at riverbend in cincy, mainly with the intentions of seeing sarah mclachlan and the indigo girls live for the first time- little did i know that seeing patty live on one of the smaller stages would be such an experience. until i saw her live, i liked her, but i hadn't yet experienced her. i sat right in front of her on the grass like two feet away, and it wasn't crowded at all for some reason. i was amazed that no one was paying much attention or shoving their way through because i couldn't take my eyes off of her. the whole time i'm thinking "what the hell is she doing on second stage?" she was intense. she was so honest and real, strong and cool, and so beautiful. you could see that she was in another world when she was singing, and she was fearless and bold. opening with flaming red, and that was all i could think after that. with her hair aflame, she was eminating heat and raw emotion. when she sang "tony", and she got to the part that says "i knew that story, i was sitting right behind you," her voice displayed such honesty and she sounded almost on the verge of tears. i understood. it broke my heart, and made me the patty fan i now am. after the show i was in such awe. i was standing right beside her, and she was talking to amy ray, but they left before i got a chance to meet either of them. better luck next time, i guess. anyway, i just had to share my first patty experience. p.s. i still don't have her first album, but i guess you can get that pretty easily, right? do you know where i could get a copy of "i write the book" from Legacy II? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Sep 1999 12:26:50 -0700 From: "Siegman, Elena" Subject: MM: RE: my patty experience Hi Leslie! So cool that you had such a great time at the show. Patty's first is called "Living with Ghosts," and you can probably get it at any mainstream music store, although I'm not sure that it's the case. I personally have enjoyed it more than flaming red, mainly because Patty's biggest strength (imho) is in the sheer raw beauty of her and her guitar. (Of course I love flaming red too, and i've never actually seen her live with a band, so I should probaby shut up). You should really get it. I know it sounds cheesy, but ever since I bought that album, my life's been a little different - because now I have a soundtrack! ;-> Here's an interesting little aside (i sware it's not OT): A while back my boss quit, and I've basically been filling that position for the past three months. They finally hired someone new and I was a little concerned (I kinda wanted the position - heh) but I'm young, so I understand. Anyhoo, when she interviewed, she pointed out the flaming red CD in my cabinet and said "Oh, I love that album - do you have 'Living With Ghosts'?" Of course now I'm excited that she's coming to run our team. Ha!

Hey guys, I realize this was already posted, and I feel bad for having to ask...BUT, what is the date for the taping of the Sessions at West 54th show?? I didn't realize the show was taped in NYC when I read the 1st post, therefore I didn't remember or write down the date. Thanks in advance! Have a great and SAFE Labor Day everyone!
