OLD MAN (Peasant farmer) True political power is derived from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony by some watery tart!!!! We are an anarcho-syndicalist commune where decisions are based on a simple majority in the case of purely internal matters, but a 2/3 majority in the case of external matters.

I actually skipped a few lines in the interest of brevity. I scanned the whole script looking for something pithy , & relived this classic piece of comedy for awhile. A few precious laughs on a cold , dreary day. "Please, please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion!

The review is in the latest issue of the Music Matters Review (http://www.mmreview.com/#Anchor-Maura-49575 ). Even if they did list her home as Nashville. Ciao, Joe Maura O'Connell encored with a sing-along version of Van Morrison' "Crazy Love," appropriately enough, after describing its writer as one who is often mistaken for being an American. But while O' Connell and Morrison are both unmistakably Irish, there sure is a whole lot of American-ness in their respective musical styles. Yet more than anything else, this small club date was all about the transcendent singing of memorable songs, which is something that will always hold universal appeal. O'Connell is a non-native Nashville resident (but aren't they all?), which might help explain why one of that guitar town's best kept secrets, Patty Griffin, was credited with writing three of the seventeen songs she sang. O'Connell introduced Griffin's "Poor Man's House" with a brief statement about all the horrible poverty in this country, before bringing this packed guitar shop/concert room to tears with the shear bluntness of its words. Griffin may be the Americana-Queen-In-Waiting, but the lyrics of this particular song speak honestly about any place where ends don't quite meet. O'Connell also expressed her Irishness at various points, especially when performing songs like the tragic traditional, "Teddy O' Neil," and "Down by the Salley Gardens." Both were drawn from her roots-centric Wandering Home album. The perky and funny O'Connell, flanked by two acoustic guitarist/vocalists, swayed back and forth while leaning on a microphone stand in order to put her whole body into her singing. As fans of the singer know well by now, O'Connell doesn't write her own material. But she sure knows a great song when she hears one, and she's always quick to compliment the writers of her songs before singing them. In addition to many Griffin selections, she also called upon Paul Brady more than a few times and even threw in a sweet version of Ron Sexsmith's subtle "Don't Ask Why." Maura O'Connell has enough natural ability to compete with any and all of today's higher profile female divas, but rather than waste her talents by drowning songs in a glut of glitz, she consistently matches her superior singing with equally high-quality songs. So it's by no means an oxymoron to call her a literate diva.-Dan MacIntosh ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #410 *********************************
