I'm always curious to hear how other people hear about Patty. And, your tale of the college radio station sheds some light on the randomness of artists getting airplay. I actually started listening to Patty back when Living With Ghosts was first released. I was living with Boston, MA at the time and Patty was a local fave. She has since moved on, but I've spoken with her and it turns out she lived in my old Boston neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. I have to admit that I have spoken to Patty several times, but that was way back during her early gigs when noone knew who she was. She used to just hang out and turned out to be a very sweet and accessible lady. Anyway, my point is that Patty has had a large following in Boston for some years now. She regularly headlines medium sized clubs there and sells out. I just moved to Atlanta, GA this summer and she is not as well known. I wasn't aware that 99X ever played anything other than Matchbox 20 and Barenaked Ladies. I do listen to it on occasion, but I've never heard Patty as you did. I went to the Edwin McCain show that Patty opened for. It was great although Patty did have some sound problems...understandable seeing as playing with a band is new for her. However, other than a small contingent of Patty fans, most audience members did not know her and some were downright rude about their dissaproval. However, these were 15 year old boys who had heard Edward McCain's song on Dawson Creek, and wouldn't know good music unless it came attached to a teen soap opera. By the way, thanks to the two guys from Nashville, who chatted with me after Patty's set. It was nice to not be the only one there who came for the opening act. By the way, I suffered from a similar malady of listening to Patty's cd nonstop when I bought it. It is in my top-5 cds of all time. (And I listen to a lot of music as well...used to get 1 cd a week...now a little less.) However, her new album does take some getting used to. It's good that she is challenging herself as an artist, but I still love her first one so much more. I still recommend that you pick it up, I'm just warning you that it might not be what you expect. 'Nough Said. By the way, Atlanta is surprisingly unhip for a city as far as music goes. When Patty's cd was released it took me hours of driving around to find a store where they had any copies. Most places asked me if she was country or hip hop. I had to eventually go to the dreaded Borders Books and Music. They had them in Boston, but I always got my stuff from Newbury Comics. Oops, looks like I rambled also. I just wanted to share and let you know that you're not the only Patty fan who has relocated down here in the south. Take care, Dan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 12:58:17 -0400 From: Dana Subject: MM: MM- apologies I am so sorry- I absentmindly sent two digests to the list while trying to forward them to someone who may join up.

I really love Patty Griffin's MM list...a meeting of the minds and heart. Thanks to Graywolf I got the CD 'Niagra Niagra'....I love Patty's 'Regarding Mary'. Does anyone know all the lyrics???? I think I have most of them, but I want to be sure that I have them right. Just when I think Patty's sung the most soulfull heart-wretching song.....she does it again! Thanks for the info..SuziSimi ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V2 #277 *********************************
