Please share your stories here to the list. It's what its for se'? The digest is great, it's like we're all a part of some sort of netified patty family. I like reading everyones thoughts in one big bradybunch post...containing 'stories of a lovely lady...' I did see Bonnie Raitt on VH1 Storyteller a few nights ago and i couldn't help thinking of Patty in like, 25 years... flaming red hair and all!

"Goodbye" sounds much more heartfelt in this stripped-down setting. In fact, most of the songs did... The interview was a bit rocky on both ends. Nic almost called her Patty Austin and Patty was visibly nervous from the get-go. Things warmed up, though, shortly after they performed their first song. The band said after the show that they rarely perform "Peter Pan" live so they pretty much improvised the backing instrumentation around the piano. I thought it was lovely. I took pictures for the KCRW site but they haven't been added yet. The interview/performance is archived here (RealAudio): ~Also, there's an interview with Patty in the recent issue of HITS Magazine. She talks about previously discussed topics: Acoustic to Electric, Video for "One Big Love," Lilith Fair, Beatles, and so on... __ gp _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

The guy who owns the place where I usually buy my cds, put her's on one day to see if I would know who it was. At first I thought it was Sonia from Disappear Fear, then Bonnie Raitt, then Patty Griffin, then Cheryl Crow. I finally had to ask during the third song. He laughed and said he was wondering how long it would take me. He knew I would like it and he was right. I love it. Her voice (raspy, bluesy and has a slightly southern tone, although she is from CA) and her lyrics are perfectly melted together by her music. If you hear Wish We'd Never Met or Symphony, you will be hooked. There isn't a song on it you will want to skip over. Check out her website at http://www.cnotes.com/cnotes.artists/wilhoite.html It includes audio clips and a really interesting bio. She is my top "not to be missed" artist. Colleen Coadic is my other, but you can only find her cds available by emailing her at colleen@alaska.net. She has opened for Ani, but is a headliner in her own right. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Jul 1998 08:08:50 -0400 (EDT) From: AloanStar@webtv.net (Jeanne Pugh) Subject: MM: Non-Patty Favorites I sent the Kathleen Wilhoite iproduction number and sent it before signing. Thanks, Jeanne ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Jul 1998 10:49:00 +0100 From: "House, Steve, HOUSESH" Subject: MM: Other Artists My continuing quest for new artists goes on. From my last mail asking for your recommendations, my list just grows and grows and I've had many offers of help in buying cd's that are not easy to come by here in England ( thanks Elaine, Judy, Chris Kornmann etc etc ) but I don't want to ask for a fovor unless I can do one in return. So if there is anything that any of you Stateside ( & Canada ) guys would like and cannot get over there, I could check it out over here and maybe we could trade Also I've got an extensive catalogue of cd's tapes and vinyl LP's ( the lp's are mainly from the 60's & 70's ) plus plenty of 'modern' stuff ( 2 grown up sons explains this ) plus access to cd library and rare record stores, all of which I could copy to tape.. Think about it and if I can help email me on steve.house@bt.com While I'm here this is my list of other favs which will screw up your master list Ashley ! in no particular order... Jackson Browne Tori Amos Martyn Bennett Richard Thompson The Devlins Sunhouse Jewel Dave Dobyn Crowded House Patti Smith Bruce Springsteen P J Harvey Paul Brady Ctranberries etc etc etc Take Care my friends and Patty I'm still waiting but I'll be patient cos I know that one day you will come and then........ Steve ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Jul 1998 07:57:12 -0500 From: Mark Cicero Subject: MM: LSD ?? & the genius of FR Dear PeaceLoveGrace, The short answer to your question is YES. The long answer is, good or bad, the CD (Tori's new one) is a big disappointment. 90% of the lyrics (IMHO)are gibberish! The CD would be unlistenable if it wasn't for her keyboard work, which is always brilliant. The first song on the CD "Spark" aka "She's addicted to nicotine patches" is the only accessable song on the CD. And isn't it interesting that it's the only song that's getting airplay. What good is writing a song if it doesn't communicate anything to your listener (other than the fact that you have become so arrogant that you don't care if you communicate anything to your audience). Anybody want to trade. I'll trade Tori's new CD for anything by Joy Askew or Mary Arden Collins (haven't been able to find these locally). I guess I should include a comment about Patty to keep this post pertinent to the list. The more I listen to "FR" the more I am impressed with the producer Jay Joyce and how he treats the songs as "compositions". The songs are masterfully orchastrated. Listen closely to the bass lines on OBL, Tony, Wiggley Fingers. Jay Joyce, is very under rated as a producer. His technique is reminisent of early Todd Rundgren (from the "A Wizard A True Star" days"). Rather than just present the musicians in an ensemble fashion, he creates layers and textures that add a richness that more often than not can only be created in a studio. And he does this with out sounding over produced. I predict that FR will be nominated for a Grammy.

I completely agree---i have been obsessed with track 2 on his >just (posthumously) released cd "Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk." Track >2---I cant stop listening to that song!! Pure moodiness and sensuality. I'm a big Jeff Buckley fan too. Something that really strikes me about track 2 on that record ("Everybody Here Wants You") is how against-type it is. It has this whole urban contemporary groove to it, a big contrast to Jeff's usual jangly-art-rock sound. The thing is, it's perfect for the song, and with his beautiful voice, Jeff pulls it off arrestingly. I was impressed with his courage in following his muse into urban-contemporary territory; it seems like you might run the risk of getting either typecast or dismissed by this kind of move, but it was what the song called for and he did it. I have the same reaction to the song "Flaming Red", that it was a risky move on Patty's part (she sure turned off that one reviewer whose piece was posted earlier!) and that it took courage to follow the song into unaccustomed territory. Constantly risking absurdity and death Whenever he performs above the heads of his audience the poet like an acrobat climbs on rime to a high wire of his own making and balancing on eyebeams above a sea of faces paces his way to the other side of day performing entrechats and sleight-of-foot tricks and other high theatrics and all without mistaking any thing for what it may not be.... --Lawrence Ferlinghetti - --Allan ~~~~~~~~ Allan M.
