Well, we certainly are quiet lately, aren't we? I don't know why, but I'd like to get at least a few people talking again... so I have an idea. What's your favorite Patty story or experience? I think it'd be interesting to trade stories, since a lot of us have been to the same shows but gotten different things out of them. I'd like to put these stories up on one of my Patty pages, but I'll ask people's permission before I do that. So what's MY favorite Patty story? I can tell you my LEAST favorite one... I found out Patty was going to be playing at The Iron Horse some time in '97 (she was opening for someone, I think). I bought tickets, even though I could care less about the headliner, and drove out there from school. I bought her a dozen peach colored roses on the way (they were beautiful) because this was the first time I was going to see her in about a year. I got there (with a friend) really early, and waited in line. Someone came up to us and asked if we were on the mailing list. "There's a Patty mailing list?" we said (this was before this list was born). No, he said, for the other artist- who was Patty? We said she was opening, and he said no, nobody was opening. We asked more people and they said the same thing. We asked inside the club, and they confirmed it. I was so upset I was crying. Luckily management refunded our tickets (a VERY rare event) and I found out later Patty cancelled last minute and played a free festival in Maryland instead. My favorite Patty story is probably when I saw her at The Bull's Run Restaraunt in Shirley, Massachusetts that same year. I sat with a bunch of EDAs, had a nice dinner, then saw her in this little room with a tiny stage. Afterwards we talked, she signed me some autographs, and complimented me on my nail polish. I think that was the best because it was a small place and she was in the mood to talk. But actually, I bet I have better stories about her... I just have to remember them. Who's next?

I first saw Patty Griffin on the second stage at Lilith Fair in Chicago in 1997. I was walking down from muddy lawn seats to buy some beer and I heard this wonderfully brash, raw voice emanating from a small stage that was surrounded by a small but rapt audience. My friend and I stopped and listened for about 20 minutes, until she ended her set, and I was immediately impressed by her ability to range from soft to ragged in what seemed to be an instant. I don't remember what songs she did (I seem to remember Let Him Fly) but I was immediately impressed -- more so than with the rest of the line up, which was pretty impressive (Emmy Lou Harris, Sarah Mclachlan, Indigo Girls). I looked her up when I got home and bought Living with Ghosts (which, contrary to what I read on many fan pages is, I think, a far superior album to Flaming Red). I also saw her at the Ark in Ann Arbor, MI, which was great, but couldn't really top the joy of randomly experiencing greatness as I had the year before.

I'd like to say that my favorite Patty Griffin story was the one Lee wrote last year. She's no longer on the list, but I liked the story because it was about seeing Patty Griffin in some open-air concert in Sedona, AZ....and how all the crowd loved her, and how Jackson Browne praised her when she finished singing. Very kewl indeed. indeedily doodily good neighbor. I'd rite more, butt I'm kinda hung over. paul **************************************** * Remember when you were considered * * an environmentalist when you just * * didn't throw things out the window? * * * * --Paula Poundstone * **************************************** ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1999 11:48:21 -0500 From: Gary Jacques Subject: [none] Fortunate to live in Philly area..where we have WXPN out of U of Penn. This station turns out a CD once in a while called live at the World Cafe. I received one a couple three years ago with Patty recorded in a little studio in Philly doing Every Little Bit..Which is twice as good as the version on Living with ghosts..if thats possible. I was blown away..a few weeks later she appeared at a little 100 seat place called the Tim Angel. My wife and I went over. She played every song on Living with Ghosts plus a couple she said she was recording for her new CD. That was the best show I have ever seen! And I've seen a whole lot of shows!
