Thanks for trying, though. I've got a question for those musicians out there: Exactly how much power does a manager have over an artist's career? I don't know a lot about this stuff. It just seems that if Patty wanted to do a private show then she should be able to do it, regardless of what "management" says. I mean, she's his boss, right? I actually gained more respect for Jewel when I learned that she did a private show exclusively for her mailing list fans. I think it's more respectful than "small time." But, once again, it goes to show that music business non-artists have no fucking clue what fans want or what would be good to build a stronger relationship between an artist and his or her admirers. But then again, what do I know.... By the way, does anyone have an extra ticket to the Lucinda Williams/ Patty show at 328 in Nashville? I thought I'd try my luck with the very nice people on this list ;) -Cristina ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 02:46:29 EDT From: UMCaner74@aol.com Subject: MM: Late Show..possible group outing... HI there everyone..it's ME again! Ok..I've been emailing with a guy who's quite familiar with how the ticketing for the Letterman show goes. He actually runs a website on how to get tickets and really knows what's going on..boy oh boy..I'll go through any desperate measures to see Patty won't I??? Ok..here's the deal. For those of you that don't know, to get tickets to the show you must send a postcard to the show for a request for tickets. However, you are not allowed to specify a particular show. They just send you whatever tickets they have available, or pretty much whatever they feel like sending you. He says that since they've changed the ticketing for the show, my best chance at getting in is to call the Show and beg and PLEAD for tickets for a "group outing" type thing..which means I need my FELLOW MM members to let me know who would be available to go to the show on Tuesday, June 15th. Also..time is of the essence here, so the quicker we get started on this the better..the longer we wait, the less chance we have in getting tickets for a group... From what I have learned, you should be at the show around 2 o'clock pm if you want to get decent seats, because when you're given tickets they are just general admission until you get to the show..then they number you by the order that you show up. Maybe for a group outing it would be different..but I'm just giving everyone an approximate time so you can figure out your work/school schedule and see if this is a possibility or not. So please..anyone who thinks they would love to see our ADORABLE Ms. Griffin ripping up the stage at the Ed Sullivan Theater...let me know. I want an approximate number of people interested so I can call and pester those poor folks to DEATH until they have no choice but to give us the tickets!!! If I can't get them, maybe someone with a Sweet and CHARMING voice would have better luck..someone who maybe was the baby of their family and is really REALLY good at whining... Ok..well I'm going now..hope everyone has had a splendid Friday evening and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

The only problem is that there is never any information in the press as to who is on and which date the show was recorded in New York. For example last night was the show with Lennox Lewis in. So does anyone in the States remember what day that went out. If so I should be able to work out when Pattys show will be shown over here. Alternatively if someone can tell me who is appearing on the show over the next few days, I can see when that show is broadcast over here. I would hate to miss Patty's appearance Please contact me through the list or at steve.house@bt.com Steve England ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 08:55:50 EDT From: Flakeybird@aol.com Subject: MM: Inspirations Hi Amy. Welcome. (does that sound too 12-steppish?) Patty Griffin has inpired me like no other performer has ever done. She has helped me to be a better vocalist just by learning and singing her songs (I'm a performer). She has helped my songwriting and made me realize that I don't have to have a lot of complicated chords to be cool. She has inspired me to stick with my highly personal songwriting style. I'm glad you picked up the guitar. My best advice (coming from someone who started my musical career kind of late in life) is to just put in the time. Make sure you play a little every day. It's kind of like exercise . . . 15 minutes a day is far more effective than 2 hours once a week. Eventually, you will notice that you can play a certain song much better than you could 6 months ago or even 3 months ago. Good luck. - -Sharyn ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 10:32:34 EDT From: LeShawnte1@aol.com Subject: MM: blue sky In a message dated 4/10/99 12:37:24 AM US Eastern Standard Time, owner-mad-mission-digest@smoe.org writes: << But for a rockin' good summer song for putting down the top and singing along, Blue Sky is it!!! >> I agree 100%. Blue Sky is my favorite song on the disc!! Catchy, really catchy... I think this is Patty's vehicle, though I thought all her others were as well for radio stardom. So far I've only heard her on 92.7 WMVY (Martha's Vinyard) and Folk 91.7 (Umass Amhearst).

I'm an artist... and I know there are a few more artists on the list... I'm curious... Have any of you guys ever done a Patty Griffin work of art? I did a painting when Flaming Red came out and my husband thought it was kinda weird. But as Patty sings with her heart, I paint my passions... anyway, was just wondering.
