But some of my favorites include: David Baerwald, Peter Himmelman, Over the Rhine, Whiskeytown, The Gathering Field, Fool's Progress and World Party. I first heard "Let him fly" by Patty on the FOLK ROCK channel on Digital Music Xpress. I haven't had the opportunity to catch her live...YET. I live in Lexington, KY but hope to make it to her next Nashville show. I listen via RealAudio daily at work to Lightning 100 - an adult alternative station in Nashville - they have a promo copy of "FLAMING RED" and have added "BLUE SKY." I LOVE IT. They have featured her on the air a couple times as well. You can check out their site at: www.wrlt.com Anyway, l look forward to reading your posts. ___________BRIAN BAKER art [x] studio url: www.art-x.com e: brian@art-x.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 18:05:51 -0500 From: mgillis@meditech.com Subject: [none] This is more of the type of response I was hoping for. What has happened to the music itself that makes me (and others) want to listen? Thanks, Judith! Anybody else? Point is, it was not too many years ago that I was saying "Why do all the (mainstream rock) women sound like Robert Plant or Janis Joplin? Clearly, we are limited by what records executives allow us to hear, but it seems to me that these women have found a new voice from which to speak. I hope I've rephrased my question to good effect. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thur Apr 30, 1998 5:08 pm From: "Perlman, Judith"

From: "Perlman, Judith" Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 16:49:31 -0400 2 posts in 1 day! I must be getting bold. How about this as a reason for the explosion of women singer-songwriters - - Title IX. Don't laugh. It has been observed that since girls and college women have received gov't funding for their sports teams, their confidence has gone WAY up. Scientific studies have proven that when an individual girl or a woman participates in organized sports, her academic scores go up, as does her self-confidence. Before Title IX, there were no "girls" baseball, soccer or basketball teams. Now our U.S. Olympic Women's Hockey team wins a gold medal, while the men's team...well, let's not go there. The US women's soccer team, I think, won a gold, too. It has been a generation since this went into effect. Now I'm not saying that all these singer-songwriters were jocks. My take on Patty, after seeing her live, is that she probably hated p.e. (as did I!). But women's sports teams opened up people's eyes that women were not so weak, and created a climate that made girls and women feel more equal to men, and think "why can't we do whatever men do?" And thus a climate that opened up other possibilities for women, career-wise. By the way, if you ever heard Joni Mitchell talk about her experiences, you will be amazed how hard it was for her. And how even her contemporaries (Crosby, Still, Nash) patronized her. Not to mention how they turned her song "Woodstock" from a peace anthem into a fierce declaration. It's really eye-opening. Well, I hope I don't get shot down for this. I know it's only one factor, but I think an important one. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return-Path: <"Perlman, Judith" > Received: from smoe.org by MEDITECH-FRAM.COM; Thu, 30 Apr 1998 17:08:24 -0500 Received: from smoe.org [204.167.97.154] (root) by mermaid.shore.net with esmtp (Exim) id 0yV0aJ-0007UB-00; Thu, 30 Apr 1998 17:09:40 -0400 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/listq-jane) with SMTP id RAA06790; Thu, 30 Apr 1998 17:01:57 -0400 (EDT) Received: by smoe.org (bulk_mailer v1.5); Thu, 30 Apr 1998 17:01:53 -0400 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/listq-jane) id QAA06540 for mad-mission-outgoing; Thu, 30 Apr 1998 16:51:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from vesper.ujafedny.com.inter.net (ujafedny.com.inter.net [38.162.123.2]) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/daemon-mode-relay2) with ESMTP id QAA06534 for ; Thu, 30 Apr 1998 16:51:27 -0400 (EDT) Received: by VESPER with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) id ; Thu, 30 Apr 1998 16:45:33 -0400 Message-ID: <6D77E2CE511ED1118B3100805FFE89C9016731F3@YENTA> From: "Perlman, Judith" To: "'mad-mission@smoe.org'" Subject: MM: Women Songwriters Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 16:49:31 -0400 X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1458.49) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org Precedence: bulk %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 15:51:38 -0700 From: "Larry S.

Gilmore" Subject: MM: Patty Griffin and other female singer-songwriters All of you fans of female singer-songwriters: If you're among the many who hear these musicians get the airplay their quality warrants on non-commercial public radio, give a few bucks to the station where you hear this music. Not only will you help the station, you will also provide an outlet for quality deserving musicians to be heard. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 May 1998 00:06:51 EDT From: VisionGRL Subject: MM: Please drop me from list First, I would like to say thanks for all the hard work that goes into the list. I appreciate you for offering it. But the amount of e-mail I am receiving from it has become a bit overwhelming. I must admit I thought when I subscribed to the list that it was more of a newsletter type thing to simply keep interested parties informed on CD releases, concert dates, etc... rather than tons of posts with everybody's personal opinions. I am sure many people are enjoying and benefiting from that format, but for myself it is just a bit too much. Keep up the good work for those who are using this format, and I hope to see ya at a Patty show one of these days!
