I never realized what a dedicated career mothering is. That losing a child is losing yourself in a way. And to cry at a song that reinvents pain for you is one thing, but to cry at a song because you finally realize what "others" go through is another. It is my goal to have my mother hear this song to know I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE SO UPSET THAT YOUR DAUGHTER IS MOVING AWAY. Thank you Patty. :-) John ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 03:41:16 EDT From: JohnRN23@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: New Patty! Hey Laurel... How funny that I was thinking the same thing. I missed out on meeting the Indigo Girls once because a horde of 12 year olds cut in front of me in line!!! I had met them before, but it was the PRINCIPLE!!!! Ugh, if there is one thing I hate about teenagers it's.....EVERYTHING!!! (just kidding) How funny that I love the song Please Come to Boston too. Anyway, I'm on my way! Later! :-) John ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 06:37:30 EDT From: JessiDenis@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: my thoughts on FR (please read) Hey John, I cried too...my family walked in and thought I was nuts sitting there crying. Then I replayed it for them and they were floored. My 11 year old daughter said "mom, that song is a masterpiece". She's right :-) Jess~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 07:44:01 -0400 From: Chris Bridges Subject: MM: F.R. I just got F.R. yesterday, I know a day later then everyone else, but I just had to say one thing about it right off.....TONY KICKS ASS !!!!!!!!!! I would say more about the disk right now but I can't seem to stop playing Tony. Maybe after I stop repeating it and listen to the rest of the disk I will be able to say I like the rest as well. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 09:04:09 -0400 From: Amy_Emerman@time-inc.com Subject: MM: I was sittin' in a restaurant when who should I hear but... Patty Griffin's ONE BIG LOVE playing last night. I don't know if it was the radio or a compilation of some kind, but it was unmistakable Patty, and it was great to hear it. It looks like all her hard work, faith, and talent are paying off! Go Patty. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 09:20:52 EDT From: KRAMER076@aol.com Subject: MM: Patty Survey Hey everyone!! Well its been a couple of days since Patty's new album Flaming Red has been out and im sure that most of us have picked up our copies and listened to it many times!! So I thought it was a perfect time for a survey. I would like to know what everyone's three favorite songs on the CD are. Also, what is your least favorite. If you would like to participate (and i hope you all do) please send me your three favorite songs and your least favorite. My email address is KRAMER 076@aol.com Please send this to ME and NOT to the list. I will post the results in about one week. So everyone let me know what you liked and what you didn't!!! JIM ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 08:52:27 -0500 From: Mark Cicero Subject: MM: My take on FR For what it's worth, what follows is my take on FR, song by song: 1. Flaming Red, is too short, I feel it could have been developed more. Maybe they expand on it "live". 2. One Big Love - contagious tune, most commercially viable of all the tunes on the CD. 3. Tony - I saw her do this song live (acousticly) and loved it. This song works so much better with a full band. The arrangement is incredible. Right now, it's my favorite song on the CD. 4. Change - this song has some commercial possibilities. Good solid PG tune. I can picture some other bands covering this tune. 5. Goodbye - is so typically Nashville. You wait, some county singer will pick up on it and record it. The lyrics just knock me out. The song seems to be in the same vain as "Long Road Home", which I was hoping Patty would have in cluded on this CD. 6. Carry me - I put this song in the same catagory as Change. Has commercial possibilities and I can picture some other bands covering the tune. 7. Christina - When I first heard that drum maching thing at the into I thought I was listening to a Hall and Oats tune. As the song went on it was easy to lose that first impression. It's just simply a beautiful song. I really like the production work on this tune, in particlar (especially the backround vocals). 8. Wiggley Fingers - This was the first tune I had heard played on local radio and it continues to blow me away. The arrangement works perfectly with the lyrics and Patty's phasing is deliberate to the point that she masterfully manipulates that image of the "dirty little wiggley..." My second favorite song on the CD and the end just gives me goose bumps. I hope this tune gets a lot of airplay. 9. Blue Sky - I put in the same catagory of Christina and Change. Has commercial potential. 10. Big Daddy - So different from anything I've ever heard Patty do that I don't know what I think of it. This might be one that has to grow on me. 11. Go Now - Anybody who has ever heard Patty sing Crazy know that she CAN sing Jazz. I listen to more jazz than anything else, so it only goes that I really like this song. It really shows off her vocal prowess. I was suprised that it was included on this CD as it is so characteristicly different from anything else on the CD. When I first heard this song I was waiting for the sax solo but it never came. 12. Mary - For me this song is what one might expect from Patty having only heard LWG. It is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. In my opinion, one of the best Patty has ever recorded. You can't help but be moved by it. Give's me a lump in my throat. (kinda of how I feel about the tune "In the Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics") 13. Peter Pan - I don't know what to make of this. I'll put this in the same catagory as Big Daddy. It may have to grow on me. That's all folk's. Best Regards, Mark Nashville,TN PS: I think that a full band version of "Cain" and "We are Water" would have worked really well in relationship to the other tunes on this CD. ( I would gladly trade "Big Daddy" and "Peter Pan" for these two) At least we have Patty's version of "Cain" on the Lilith Fair CD. If anybody out there has not heard this you are really missing out on one spectacular recording. Maybe one day Patty will record "We are Water" (it remains one of my favorite songs along with Cain). ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 09:54:17 -0500 From: mgillis@meditech.com Subject: [none] I thought I heard Patty say that "Mary" was about her grandmother. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 10:08:48 -0400 From: hakmusic@juno.com (Harry A Keates) Subject: MM: Troubadour show and Wiggly fingers Hi, First, I hate to be a me-too'er but, I'd really love to trade for a copy of the Troubadour band show. I have lots to trade if anyone has a good copy and would be interested. Also, on Flaming Red, my daughter, who is almost three years old, is a huge LWG fan. It is her favorite album and she knows all the songs. So I was a little nervous about playing Flaming Red for her, knowing how much she loves Patty and knowing that she really only listens to folk. So, when I played it for her the first time, I skipped Flaming Red and Tony, so that she could get used to it with songs like One big love, Carry me, Goodbye, and the other more moderate songs. Well she really liked all these songs, but then Wiggly fingers came on. At first she said nothing and looked a little distressed. i was worried that I blew it by letting her listen to it. Then she cracked up laughing and started jumping up and down yelling "wiggly fingers" and laughing hysterically. It was by far her favorite song on the CD. She talked about if for the rest of the night. Go figure. : ) Harry _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I don't really know where this music comes from; it's not a radio station and it's a very eclectic mix of some kind that's played all day long. btw-I love LWG and I love FR. I'm also trying to find anything else Patty has recorded. I've got the Niagra, Niagara soundtrack and the Lilith Fair compilation. Is there anything else out there with Patty songs? I, too, would be more than thrilled to get a tape of the Troubadour show - I was there and I want to hear Every Little Bit with the band again and again. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 12:34:33 EDT From: CornflkGl@aol.com Subject: MM: subscribers to this list I just checked- there are 187 loose mail and 57 digest subscribers to this list. I know there are some people on both, but I'm gonna pretend there aren't. So, there's 244 people on this list. it'll be interesting to see how quickly this number grows as more and more people hear OBL and discover Patty :) BTW, I LOVE the fact that so many listees love the album ! I was worried everyone was going to hate it, but it seems we have a pretty positive esponse to it. Yay, Patty !!!

Makes sense I think, but I don't have to like it. sean >From: CornflkGl@aol.com >Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 12:34:33 EDT >To: mad-mission@smoe.org >Subject: MM: subscribers to this list > >I just checked- there are 187 loose mail and 57 digest subscribers to this >list.
