Scott" ] Re: MM: NPC: Catie Curtis [Clavin Girl ] MM: Patty Griffin to appear in January's GQ [Joshua Wolf Shenk Subject: MM: no JB- no PG- Catie Curtis/MCC concert @Uconn Tonight I saw Catie Curtis for the first time thanks to a friend with an extra ticket- surprise! We got caught up in terrible stop and die concert traffic {reminding me of trying to get to Tanglewood for Jackson & Bonnie last summer} and missed all but her last 3 songs- gritting teeth- But at least I did catch Radical and Dad's Yard- my 2 faves. She was adorable without trying and very approachable at intermission in the lobby signing CD's. It was a pretty large concert hall at UConn and she got a good response from the audience. Tonight, my father had abdominal surgery for inoperable cancer and I decided to go anyway, thinking that altho I should wait at the hospital, maybe it was just as well to hear Dad's Yard in person. When I first heard that song, my thought was-"Does this girl know my father?" I was able to tell Catie that tonite and she smiled. I played it for my 21 yr old daughter about a month ago and told her that it reminded me of my father and she cried- her Grandpa. We knew he was getting old and probably getting worse with Alzheimers but we didn't know about the cancer then. I am 49- not so young either, but I still have both my parents, altho my mother had a stroke 3 yrs ago and is in a nursing home now after I took care of her for the first 2 years. My father has also lived with us since my mother had the stroke. You never really expect to be orphaned- even at my age, there is that feeling. My parents have always been there for me- they didn't dote on me, the 3 of us certainly have our complaints as all kids do about what their parents did and didn't do in raising them, but whatever I needed, my parents were there for. My mother told me recently that I was his pet. I never knew that. They never said no- they babysat, moved me, mowed my lawn, chopped down trees, fixed stuff- gave us tons of junk every time we came to visit- good stuff!-my father made beautiful furniture- he could do anything mechanical and had a workshop down cellar with Everything in it, just like Catie's. Now we have to clean it out...to sell the house. It is still hard to imagine that this is happening for real and he isn't going to be there in that cellar ever again- always busy. Anyway, I was thinking of writing down the lyrics to that song and leaving it at his bedside so the nurses know who this sick old man really was. I told her that I was going to see her at Northampton in a couple of weeks and was she going to sing "OOps, I'm sorry" and she said that she had sung it tonite for the list- Darn- I missed it with the traffic. She wanted to know how I knew it and I told her the Tape tree- so she knew I am on her list. Mary Chapin also did a beautiful concert- very mellow songs. This was the 3rd time I had seen her in 3 years and my favorite concert so far of hers- I like her mellow songs more than the rowdy ones. To any Jackson or Patty people still reading- I certainly recommend getting into Catie's music- start with Truth Or Lies. I only discovered her two months ago after seeing her Cd by accident at the music store and recognizing the name from someone else's recommendation, probably from the Patty Griffin list. That is one of the best benefits I have gained from being on these lists, being led into other singers that I never would have discovered. Dad's Yard being one of the gems.

Could any one of you please send me information about Patty's December 6th concert in Nashville? Specifically, I'd like how to order tickets, brief description of the venue she'll be performing at, and if there are even any tickets left available. Oh...and is it a 21+ venue, or not...I'm 21, but my friend I plan on going with (if tickets still exist) is not. If you have a spare moment please r.s.v.p. Thank you. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1998 11:41:37 EST From: CornflkGl@aol.com Subject: MM: NPC: Catie Curtis Hey guys.. wanted to let you know that Catie will be playing at my school, Framingham State College, on December 6th. That's in Massachusetts, near Wrocester. I have no idea about times or ticket prices yet, but I'm pretty sure you can only buy tickets on campus ( at the handy-dandy info booth), so if anyone wants tickets, I'd be happy to get them for you... and give you a tour of my dorm room ;).
