[ruby maroon ] [Fwd: Re: MM: Cain Question??] [Bernie Filipski Subject: MM: Being at the Wiltern V here, Yes Ruby, I was at the Wiltern. It was fabulous! Patty came out in this God knows what kind of outfit - tight black dress, black pants underneath and these black platform tennis shoes that cracked me up. I think she was going for the "bad" look. :) Anyway, she sang a few songs - my fave was "Breaking Up Somebody's Home". This song won over many of the Jonny Lang fans. There was this woman behind me and she asked me, "Who was that?" and I said, "Patty Griffin. Isn't she amazing?" The next time I turned around the woman had Flaming Red in her hand, apparently buying it down stairs in the lobby. (Woo-Hoo!!) Patty closed with "Mary" and had Jonny singing during the chorus. It was magical. Later Jonny came out. He's an incredible showman. He rocked and the one tune that had me teary was "Breakin' Me". Personaly, I like him much better on stage than on the album; he has more room to groove with his bad-self. :P After the show, I got Patty to sign a shirt and I became pals with her bus driver - I like to call him Earl even though that's not his name. He lets me too, so that's a good thing. I also chatted with the keyboardist and the bassist - nice guys. I later met Jonny, very sweet and then left. It was a great show. take care, v ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 11:41:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Chris Clough Subject: Re: MM: radio/pt 2 Sorry, didn't mean to step on anyone's toes. It's just that I've had an active dislike for Mr. Chanley ever since he said (after playing Peter Gabriel's "Biko") "That's a great song, even though you don't know what it's about" He then proceeded to tell his apparently ignorant audience Just who Steven Biko was and why P.G. wrote the song. Thanks Andy. I guess I expect too much from my radio personalities... - -Chris - --- Pamela Pollock wrote: > >His name is Andy Chanley, and he is HORRIBLE!

KSCA, 101.9, "SoCal's Album Alternative," is the station that turned me on to Patty Griffin in the first place. They played "Every Little Bit," on the radio a few times, and I remember the first time I heard it, I literally STOPPED my car on the way home from work and just sat there in awe. I was like, blown away. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I remember that I was singing the melody for days, even though I had no clue what the words were any more except for the "It's cold livin' with ghosts," part, which is weird, since that's the name of the album, eh? When 101.9 went off the air, I was totally depressed. For those of you who don't live in L.A. (probably most of you, and I'm probably spamming the whole lot of you), this was THE best radio station. They introduced me to Patty, to Dar Williams, to Shawn Colvin and a whole score of other *incredible* musicians. I taped the entire last day of their programming. Now we have Channel 103.1 (which I'm assuming is run by the same folks that ran 101.9, since they keep sayin' stuff like "we're baacck,") and Nicole Sandler (who used to rock my world on 101.9 with her Daily Special), but all they do now is play the same three Keb' Mo songs followed by that tired old "Precious Time," song by Van Morrison and it's just oh-so uncool. I guess I just wanted to vent. I was so excited when I heard that they were "back," only to find that they bite, majorly. Although they did have Patty in studio C twice, so maybe it's not quite so bad... Did any of you hear P.G.'s first Studio C with Nicole Sandler? She sang "Goodbye," completely aucoustic (this was before I had bought F.R.) and I almost had to stop my car again.

I believe it was March '97. It's the only time I've heard her sing it live and I've only heard the recording on the Lilith CD a handful of times. But I do recall her saying she had read a story in a newspaper or magazine about two guys who did some bad stuff and "so I wrote this." Sorry I don't remember details. I'm not sure if you all know... I haven't seen anyone mention it...but Patty sings harmony on a couple of Marc Cohn's songs on the Burning the Daze CD. I'm just a lurker. Maybe I should write more often. I've followed Patty since I saw her at Nick's Fat City, Pittsburgh, PA opening for The Badlees in the fall of '96. Sorry for the run on. Janelle ruby maroon wrote: > Hi all!

Hi fellow Mad-Mishers :-) At the web address below is a graphic of a new t-shirt that was being sold at the shows Patty recently opened for Johnny Lang. I do not know for certain if they will be sold at future events this summer, but I have a funny feeling they will. (it only makes sense) Patty worked hand in hand with the t-shirt company to come up with this design which is 100% her idea. They were selling for $23 at the shows. I have been asked by Pattys' management to see if there is an interest amongst the members of this list for this t-shirt. This would be via mail order. It is not known at this time what the cost would be including shipping etc....those details are yet to be worked out. I also do not yet know about foreign orders, but replies to this query from non-USA list members will certainly help determine that. I do not know for certain if other colors would be available and based on wha tI see in the graphic I cannot imagine it being any color other than black. The graphic is of a black shirt with a red, pink, grey and white design and it just wouldn't look right on another color shirt, IMO. I imagine it would be available in all the standard sizes, AND it better be available in 3X too! (I know you are reading this management.....hint, hint, hint :-) Anyway, you can see the shirt here: http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup/pattyg/tshirt.htm If you do not have web access, the design is a four color graphic of an oriental swordsman, the sword is pointing down, you can see "motion lines" where he just whoooooshed the sword. ( I always wanted to use the word "whooooosh" in a letter ) There is a dark pinkish rectangle around the swordsman, with thin white lines on the right and left side of the rectangle. On the left side of the rectangle is "Patty Griffin" and on the right side of the rectangle is "Flaming Red", both "Patty Griffin" and "Flaming Red" are in red,are an oriental font and are vertical. So, basically what I need is input from ALL of you who would be interested in purchasing one of these shirts if it were available through mail order. If you are not interested, there is no need to reply. Interested folk should reply to me at ducksoup@spectra.net with the word "t-shirt" anywhere in the subject line. I really don't know any more than what I've layed out above, however if any questions fly my way that warrant me asking, by golly then I'll ask her management and relay the information back to the list.

It's "I feel like breaking up somebody's home", and I don't know who wrote it, but Etta James sang it at the LA Jazz Festival. If I had a recording of Patty singing it, I'd play it LOUD and all day long! Yeah, she was great last night at the Wiltern, and I think she won a lot of new fans, too. Jonny was, btw, better than I expected, him being all of 18. That kid can rock! All in all, a very fun night.
