I hope it works. I saw Patty for the first time at The Ark in Ann Arbor on Friday. She was amazing! Her voice seems to just flow from her. But I'm preaching to the choir here. Anyway... Patty had on a shimmery grey top and a black skirt. The skirt looked like maybe a fan handpainted it for her. It had a painted Mary near the bottom and I think there were roses surrounding her. Black boots topped (bottomed?) the outfit. Patty played two acoustics, a Gibson and I'm not sure of the other one. Doug played an electric Fender, a mandolin and I think a dobro too. Here's the set list: 1 Carry Me 2 Poor Man's House 3 Perfect White Girls 4 Mad Mission 5 Change 6 Florida 7 Rain - Patty said it will be on her next album, hopefully out next year entitled 1,000 Kisses 8 Chief 9 Falling Down (unsure of title here) 10 Flaming Red 11 Bend Me or Be Careful With Me (again, unsure of title) 12 Goodbye 13 Top of the World 14 Mary Encore 15 Sweet Lorraine 16 Tomorrow Night 17 10 Million Miles - Patty said this song was for all of us :). All the songs were great. The one that really stood out for me was the bluesy, sexy version of Flaming Red. Made me want to get my acoustic and just SANG (that's sing for all the stellar spellers out there)! I also cried during Goodbye. Having lost someone I loved dearly a few years ago, those lyrics really touch me. What struck me most about Patty is how sweet and shy she is onstage. She thanked us after every song. She thanked us for hanging in there even without any new music to be had. She broke a string and Doug took her guitar backstage to string it up. She joked that she had one of the best guitarists in Nashville and she had him doubling as a guitar tech. She also teased Doug a bit. Then she mentioned that she came from a family of 7 children and the girls were always torturing the brothers. She told us that's all men really want is to be tortured. Patty talked to some members of the audience. A man shouted out that he wanted to bear her children. She said something to the effect that thanks to George W. that just may be possible with cloning. Then she said, "But I never get involved with politics." After seeing Patty live, I'm left feeling even hungrier for more of her music. Here's hoping that 1,000 Kisses will be available soon! So that's my first ever review. I hope it was worth a read.

I won't have the MD's onto cd's for a few more days as I left my computer with the good soundcard up at the lake house. So here's the deal... everyone interested in getting this show through a B&P (Blanks and postage), please email me with exactly: Ark show cd-r in the subject (so if you hit reply to this it will work... just make sure you send it to me jcaputo@umich.edu and not to the list). I'm gonna try not to do trades for this show cause I'm way behind on trading so B&Ping is preferred this time around. I don't know what kind of reply to expect so if you have a burner - maybe mention if you'd be willing to copy it for a few others. If you already emailed me then I will try to move your message to the right folder but you might wanna write again just to be sure I didn't miss it somehow - from now on, my filter will catch the emails with the correct subject.

Patty was in fine form. I thought the setlist was great, and I really enjoyed all of the new songs, "Rain" in particular. Love, love, LOVE that cover of "Tomorrow Night" - it really shows off Patty's range in terms of vocal style. I thought that Doug was excellent and that all of his playing complemented the show. Patty's voice is so powerful, it's tough to complement it without overpowering, and I think this was really well done. Also, I hadn't seen Patty since the last Ark show, when she had just finished recording "Silver Bell." And in spite of the bummer of not getting the record released, she seemed to be having so much more fun, to be relaxed and and confident. . . (I'll now segue into "all this label crap":) ...That said, I don't think any of us here can say what Patty "should" be doing. As long as she's not going to hang it up, I'll find her stuff, and I'll buy it. And I'll go see her any chance I get. Of course I'd love to see her prosper, but I'm also for creative freedom and growth. At this point, Silver Bell just isn't going to be released, and Patty probably isn't in any position to buy it. The Wilco situation is an egregious example of the kind of shortsighted and narrow behaviour on the part of the Big 5. My way-out perspective is that they were in a unique position to buy their record back, probably having a fair amount of creative control already in their contract, and being far more established than Patty Griffin. And they know they'll be able to recoup the amount they paid in sales of the album. Yes, it's a shame Patty couldn't do the same, but she honestly seemed to be very positive about the direction she's headed in. Which leads me to a new Question: Does anyone here think maybe Patty herself wasn't happy with "Silver Bell"? In the scheme of things, this could be the best thing for all parties. Finally, Interlochen: Yes, Don, they take their stuff very seriously up there. My sister attended camp for 3 years and finished high school up there. It's a beautiful place and a wonderful school, but it's not exactly "rock 'n roll." The last thing I saw there was "HMS Pinafore." "I am the Monarch of the Sea" Lisa C.
