Hi fellow Patty fans!  

I'm Amanda, and I've been lurking for a few weeks now, until I just thought 
what the heck, why not post, they seem like nice enough folks.  *looks around 
warily*  You are nice folks, right?  

My personal Patty history:  

The first Patty Griffin song I heard was the World Cafe version of 'Every 
Little Bit' on WXPN here in the Philadelphia area.  (Thank the gods for WXPN, 
I've discovered nearly all my favorite artists through them.)  I then got the 
'Live at the World Cafe Vol. 5' CD in 1997 just for that track.  (Well, okay, 
that and Kim Richey's 'I Know.')  Then I picked up _Living With Ghosts._  I 
was so impressed by Patty's lyrics, and the raw emotive power of her voice.

I didn't get around to picking up _Flaming Red_ until a few months after it 
came out, but the first time I put it into the stereo I was totally blown 
away.  It *rocked*!  Every song is special in its own way.  There just really 
aren't the words to describe the joy I get from listening to this album.  It 
quickly became my favorite, and is still in heavy rotation.  And I appreciate 
LWG a lot more now, too.  

I read some things about how FR was a 'departure' or a 'change in style' for 
Patty from LWG, but the differences didn't faze me at all.  It seemed 
perfectly natural.  Whatever style it is, that Patty Griffin essence is still 
there.  It was sort of like when I first heard Maria McKee's _Life Is Sweet_, 
which also required something of a shift in perspective from her earlier 
work, but I accepted it readily because the intensity and the integrity of 
the artist remained.  I've gotta say, though, while I've got an intellectual 
appreciation for Ms. McKee's fantastic work, Patty's music touches me on a 
much deeper level as well.  It really moves my soul.  :)

Anyway, I saw Patty live last August in Westmont, NJ, and it was one of the 
best nights of my life.  (Granted I have a pretty boring life, but still, it 
was Patty!)  The band rocked, Patty rocked, it was amazing.  I was so 
impressed with how she managed to sustain her energy level and the strength 
of her voice throughout the show.  I get a happy just thinking about it.  <g>

Random questions, comments, stuff:
- -Does anyone know if Patty will be at the Pittsburgh date with the Dixe 
Chicks in October?  I'll be going to school there in the fall.
- -Does anyone know if Austin City Limits airs in the Philly area, either on 
WHYY or WYBE?  I suspect it doesn't, since I can't find it in the listings.  
<sigh>  I'd be willing to pay for postage and cost of tape of any kind soul 
who might want to send me a copy of the show.
- -Is there anywhere I can hear some of the non-album tracks I've read you guys 
raving about?
- -I thought it was interesting that a recent issue of TV Guide featured 
articles on two artists covering Patty songs: the Chicks and Martina McBride.

NPCish:
- -Patty's opening act at the Westmont show was Nancy Falco.  I had enough 
money to buy either Nancy Falco's CD or the Flaming Red t-shirt, and i went 
for the shirt.  I don't regret it, but I'd sure like to know more about Nancy 
Falco and hear her music again if anyone knows anything about her.  
- -for anyone still interested in the 'Nebraska'/Starkweather thing, there was 
a1993 tv movie made about it called 'Murder in the Heartland' starring the 
scary Tim Roth as Charles Starkweather and Fairuza Balk as Carol Ann Fugate.  
It occasionally pops up on Lifetime.  I know, the topic is so over, but I 
can't resist the opportunity to display my vast and useless knowledge of tv 
movies.  <g>  Oh, and if you didn't know about the case before, now you know 
the meaning of one more line in Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'  
('58, between 'California baseball' and 'children of Thalidomide'.)  :)
- -any other Amanda Kravat/Marry Me Jane or Del Amitri fans out there?

I promise my subsequent posts won't be this ridiculously long,
Amanda

Subject: MM: WXPN

I discovered WXPN when I was in the Philadelphia area a few years back with
a youth group I volunteer with. My only opportunity to listen to it was in
the car so I was always volunteering to run errands  :-) . It's depressing
that one can live in a major metropolitan area (Chicago) and yet still have
very little in the way of radio diversity.

I know that Jen had posted the info for the Detroit area for Austin City 
Limits, but I think her email said it would air on 5/6 at 5 am, which would 
be Saturday.

It is true that Saturday is the main air date, but Detroit PBS airs the show 
on Sundays.  I checked the WTVS site and it said it will be on 5/7 at 5 am! 
:)  Just didn't want anyone to miss out!!! :)

Anxious...

From: East Coast Gal in Austin <capitalgrrrl@yahoo.com>
Subject: MM: I met Patty in Austin!!

Hey Y'all! 

After living in Austin for less than two months,
I ran into none other than Ms. Patty G during a
concert at a local pub!!

It was about two weeks ago. The band playing was
Loose Diamonds, and her beau, Troy Young
Campbell, was singing. The band played at a local
watering hole just before Bruce Springsteen's
concert to get the fans pumped up (Loose Diamonds
is reportedly one of the Boss' fave local bands).


Anyways, my girlfriend Ronda (also a member of
this list -- and who I met through this list a
year ago, but that's a whole other sordid story
of longdistance lesbo love!) and I went to hear
the band, secretly hoping that either Bruce
himself, or Patty (who lives in Austin), would
make a surprise appearance. We had heard it from
a good source at the local radio station that was
sponsoring the free event that Patty was going to
play. But alas, she didn't! 

However...as Ronda and I were standing there,
grooving on Loose Diamonds and special guest Ray
Wylie Hubbard, we looked over to our left and saw
this beautiful tangle of curly red hair. 

"Ohmigod, hun!!!" I said. "I think that's
Patty!!" 
   
We looked down at her feet and sho'nuff, the
mysterious woman was wearing clunky black
platform shoes - the very type of footwear that 
I've seen Patty wear on stage. 

At this point, my heart was racing -- but why?
After all, she's just another person, right? 
I suppose. But on some level, she's not just any
person, she's The Voice...the woman who sang to
me while I drove up the coast in Northern
California on my first solo vacation...the woman
who so aptly expresses so many things I have felt
and could never find the words for. In short,
she's my own female version of The Boss!!! A New
England, female Bruce Springsteen come to life!  

Thus, I was absolutely titillated to be standing
there, just a few feet from Patty! Not wanting to
disturb her quiet (and anonymous) viewing of her
boyfriend's band, I waited for a little bit and
then tapped her on the shoulder. 

"Are you going to play tonite, Patty?" I asked.
She looked at me for a sec, probably wondering
whether she knew me (she doesn't) or whether I
was a freak (I'm not!). She then shook her head
and smiled. I shrugged, smiled back, and left it
at that. 

Later, after the show, Ronda and I saw Patty
standing outside on a back patio, chatting w/some
friends. We waited until the conversation seemed
finished and then timidly shuffled up to her. I
felt like such a teeny-bopper groupie! 

Anticipating her possible appearance, I brought
my girlfriend's CD sleeve of "Living w/Ghosts,"
and asked Patty if she would autograph it. 
She was sweet! She smiled and said sure and
signed her name. 

Then, I proceeded to make a fool out of myself,
saying all manner of praiseful things, such as "I
just love your music," and "You're such a great
poet," and "You songs, like, really speak to me,"
blah blah blah!" 

I did, however, manage to ask her if she knows
about this MM listserv. She said she does. I then
asked her if she'd ever be willing to make an
e-mail appearance once in a while. She seemed a
little shy then and said she wasn't profficient
at email. 

So I said, "Well Patty, would you ever be open to
doing a Q&A with us every great once in a while?"
She said she definitely would, and told me to
arrange it through her management.  Good enough,
I thought! 

So folks, it seems that Patty is willing to
answer our questions, but only very periodically,
("like once a year," she said, b/c she's pretty
busy.)  

What do y'all think?? We could submit our
questions to Mike and have him complile the 10 or
12 best ones, and then forward them on to Patty's
management. Then, at her leisure, she could
answer them and Mike could post the answers to
the group. 

What say all of y'all??? 

Your faithful Mad Misher in Texas,
Wendy J
