"Top of the World" that brought an expression of awe from Earle" "The terribly shy Patty Griffin became the show's ringer." "Top of the World" rang sweet and true." "and surprise standout Patty Griffin ." "Griffin later added some of the sweetest harmony this side of the Rubicon to Harris' "My Baby," off her Grammy-winning "Red Dirt Girl" album, then to Cockburn's "It's My Beat," about riding a bicycle around Montreal." They even loved her when she was backing up. LOL Cat's out of the bag folks.

If anyone would like to read them, they're posted at http://home.cogeco.ca/~pl2/reviews.html Thanks again Maria ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 21:27:50 +0000 (GMT) From: "=?iso-8859-1?q?Ma'eee?=" Subject: Re: MM: Landmine Concert at the Beacon Here Here for Chapin. I went to see her and Shawn Colvin at the Hammersmith Apollo (that's in London, for the benefit of the majority of MM'ers)June this year. I went to see Shawn and my M+D went to see MCC and we both warmed to the other performer, me to Chapin and M+D to Shawn Colvin. 2 very diffrerent styles of performing, SC with just her 1 guitar and MCC with guitar tech, band etc, but both very good together, singing SC songs, Beatles and Crowded house covers, it was really a double act, and a guest appearance from SC sprog! MCC has a deep, low, gentle voice that goes well with a higher, more powerful one, such as Shawn's or Patty's even! Next Album will be Duets by the pair of them. The other reason I am grateful to MCC is the helping hand she has given artists such as Shawn and Caties Curtis, without whom they may not be where they are now! A bit like Emmylou foes for Patty. Emmylou amd Mary already have established followings and they use these to establish artists thjey admire-thy're better at spotting talent than record companies! Did somebody mention that Jon Jennings played with Patty? Isn't he MCCs partner and guitarist? Anyway gotta go and do and essay on insect conservation!
