I have always found great buys and great cds. I found a Merrie Amsterburg, Catie Curtis, Aimee Mann. Well, today I came across one.. the side read, Patty Griffin. I think to myself, what could this possibly be? I have all her cds. I pull the cd out.. Patty is on a bed, hair covering her face, guitar across her lap. It was the cd that is to promote Silver Bell. The same cd that was given away in a contest a few months back on the list. I was so happy to have come across the great cd. At first i thought, i should leave this for someone else.. so they can discover Patty.. then, I realized.. THIS IS PATTY. I must have it. So, i was selfish and bought it. I find myself enjoying the acoustic version of Silver Bell much more than the album version. The album version seems... noisy. It is what Flaming Red, the song, is.... to me, anyways. I still am looking forward to her new cd.. which, could not come out soon enough. Thought I would share my good Patty news with those who may care. >smile< Matthew ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 09:16:47 -0500 From: "Gary Jacques" Subject: MM: Re: Silver Bell pre-cd A quick note on acoustic -vs- electric Patty...Silver Bell/Flaming red. The Electric version is better period! How do I know this? Simple. What's on the CD? It's obvious that Patty loves to bang it out. Matt says "Silver Bell sounds like noise." This guy is a reincarnated folkie from the first Bob Dylan electric show. Ouch my ears. Turn it down. Let's put Matt in the "Way Back Machine" and send him back to California, say 1967, and let him dance around the fire with Butterfly and Moonglow to the acoustic sounds of guitar and bongo.

I just find Patty more emotional when she is acoustic. The songs have more beauty. And, Evil Gary, if you have this time machine.. and would like to send me back to 1965 to the acoustic folk of California.. that is fine with me. Just send Patty and her guitar with me.

Well, Dana says: Yeah- you can send me back there with Matt- I really am not into noise either- I LOVE most of Patty's stuff- but not the noise. FR, WF, Cain and SB are not on my fave list. Little God, Top of the World, Shells, acoustic Peter Pan, etc are.

Matthew ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 16:36:30 -0500 From: "Gary Jacques" Subject: MM: Re: Happy Matthew and Dana, I love quiet music. It has it's place. Hell nothing better than a little low Barry while you nail, spackle and lay two coats of paint on your favorite man or women. But there is most certainly a time for loud. And not load for loud sake. Have you ever given a close listen to the harmonica in Flaming red? I believe this to be the best harmonica lick since, oh hell I can't remember the song, but it was on a live recording of the Yardbirds. Will post the name of the song later. You need to pay better attention to the noise. There is a lot of good stuff going on in there! The "Evil One" ROTFLMFAO I love typing that. - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2000 2:52 PM Subject: MM: Happy > BIG HUGS to Dana.... > > >smile< > > Thanks for standing up with me. > > Matthew ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 20:14:56 EST From: FlamingRed74@cs.com Subject: Re: MM: Way Back Machine >Well, Dana says: >Yeah- you can send me back there with Matt- I really am not into noise >either- I LOVE most of Patty's stuff- but not the noise.

Dave says: I love it all, let me have it all!! :-) Top of the World, Little God, Wiggley Fingers! Yes, yes,..YES! .. that's me doing my best impression of Meg Ryan having her "orgasm" in "When Harry Met Sally". I have to say that just about any song makes me feel that way. Patty Jean Rocks!

And feeling that way about "just about any song" must save you a ton of money on dates. LOL.. My goodness if I could have an orgasm listening to just about any song, I would never leave home. I guess you would have to rate lovers by how good my sound system woofs and tweets at that point? Yeah, like my Sony gives me hyper bass like no one. Ok ,I'm getting to that place where only my very close friends understand what the hell I'm talking about. So, my work is done for this holiday. See you all at Christmas. When the subject will be "Is there a God and is she a cute?" No cheating by submitting your answer now. I will accept answers to this question beginning, lets say, 12/20/00.

I found no offense, or anger. I voiced my thougths, he did the same. He was just more creative. (if this seems like sucking up.. it should not). I never said i did NOT like the noise. Just that i found it to be noisier. I now see how saying 'noise' was a bit of a bad word. I do enjoy her quiet, slow, and acoustic songs better.. but I love everything Patty. She is my favorite in so many ways. The many sound stylings of her songs being one of the reasons. I would never say 'no' to a Patty song.. or would I skip over one. (except for Peter Pan on occasion... please, no hate mail for that comment... especially you Gary). I will still be one of the first, if not the first, to buy Patty's cd when it comes out. (in Cincinnati that is.. where I may be one of the few who know of this 8th wonder of the world).
