I absolutely do not mean to bring anyone down by this message but I need to communicate this to you all. It's very impotrtant to me right now... One of the strongest things that opened my eyes to Patty (and my own situation) is the song " Every little bit". The reason for this is, well, I am at odds as to how to word this. Living with Ghosts. I live with that every single day of my life. On New year's day of 1996, my parents committed suicide. To me they were absolutely the most "normal" wonderful, loving people in the world. We have a large family and we could not see it coming and still don't know "why" My point is, my husband and I have had to deal with this trauma for the last two years and it hasn't been easy. I relate to this song of course in my own way but I see it paralelling my life right now as we go through my feelings about this whole thing. We have the same problems as usual with married couples but since this happened, we have grown apart and as Patty says"I still don't blame you for leaving baby it's cold, living with ghosts" Well, as you can imagine, to me the death of my parents has left a scar and as I'm dealing with living with their ghosts, my husband has to as well. I wouldn't blame him for leaving either.He won't of course because he love's me but as I sing and play this tune, I feel the emotion that Patty feels when she sings it, (whatever her emotions might be at that time), all I know is, that song struck a giant chord woth me and I went out and bought the CD the minute after I heard it. I have alot of ideas about what she meant when she wrote this song and I will probably elaborate on it when I am thinking better. (right now I am thinking more emotionally than logically) But I just wanted to let you (and Patty if she ever reads this) how moved I am every time I hear this song and why she has had such an impact on me. Thanks so much for listening,and being there, Heidi ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 11:10:58 -0500 From: "Sara" Subject: MM: Another Patty Lover Hi everyone. I've been getting all of the posts for the last few days and I wanted to thank everyone for all the info on Patty and all of those other singer/songwriters. Today I am going to check out Cd's by Lori Carson and Dar Williams and Vonda Shepard just because of all of your great comments about them. I was lucky enough to catch Patty opening for Jann Arden at Convocation Hall in Toronto last year. It was amazing, I had never even heard of Patty Griffin before that and I absolutely fell in love. I didn't even want Jann to come on and play. I could've listened to Patty all night. The next day I rushed out and bought Living With Ghosts (for 22.99, because it was listed as an import! but id din't even mind spending 26.000 for a Cd that amazing). That record is the best thing I have ever heard. Blows me away every time I hear it. I just hope that Patty is planning to return to Canada soon because I would pay my right arm to go see her again.

It would allow us members of the Patty Griffin list who are interested in such, to access the music while not cluttering MM. ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V2 #17 ********************************
