I appreciate your championing what you perceive to be my cause , but I think everything is fine the way it is. I don't feel the need to be closer to Patty. Of course , I'd like to talk to her , as would many thousands of others , but I think she & her entourage already see enough of me w/o me trying to chummy up. I get to see & hear what I think is the best music in the world , live , & up-close. Patty gets someone to praise & support her music , & help chronicle her musical greatness as it unfolds. Even-Steven. Whatever I do is ultimately in my own interest , & nobody owes me anything. Taking a phrase from Skynyrd ; "that's the way it's supposed to be". I would approach Patty with some trepidation , anyway. I'd be afraid of disturbing her precious psyche , the wellspring of all that great music. When I got home , I saw that all of the upcoming shows were GA , & none were sold out , so I couldn't help myself. They'll be seeing more of me as I cover the 8,000 miles or so in the next leg of the tour. Hope she doesn't have me arrested in California , where they have those tough stalking laws : ) As for the duet thing , this question was raised once before & I'll paste in my comments. ********************************** Actually , after I decided on "Under These Clouds" , my mind jumped to two Stevie Nicks duets that I would like to sing(?) with Patty even more. "Leather & Lace" with Don Henley (No relation-blood or voice) & "Stop Draggin' my Heart Around" with Tom Petty. ************************************ It's one of those things You have to feel To be true Tom Petty "Refugee" Don > Ya know, before Don, I used to think that I was a Patty freak, but I now > seem quite well-adjusted (when compared to him), thank you very much. > > Okay, does anyone on this list actually know Patty?

I see their names often mentioned in conjunction with Patty's and I've been curious for awhile now." John Prine is up there with the best folk artists. The first time I saw him was on the original Saturday Night Live show in the 70's, although he was already well established by then. I was only 14 or so though. He did the song "Hello In There", and it's one of the prettiest songs you'll ever hear. Also I like the songs "Sam Stone", "Illegal Smile", "Paradise" and like someone else mentioned "Angel From Montgomery" and alot more. The big problem is there's so much material to go through. Some of it is a little dry unless you're hardcore folkie, but some of it is just incredible. If you go to www.ohboy.com you will be able to see every Prine record ever made. Ohboy is his record co. While you're there, check out a guy named Todd Snider. He is an awesome songwriter and singer. He has five records out, the last two on Ohboy records.....he is my favorite male artist right now. As for Steve Earle, "Guitar Town" and "Copperhead Road" are excellent albums from his early stuff. He's got lots of good songs out. "Ellis Unit One" is quite a song but I don't know what record it's on. He's a guy that you really can't go wrong with on most any album as long as you like good country music, cause he's definitely got a twang. I think one of the Country Music Channels is kinda doing his biography this Saturday. ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #198 *********************************
