Please say that Bette did credit Patty with writing 'Mary'?!?!? I heard Patty say she wrote that song about her grandmother, Mary O'Connor. Even before I knew that, the song reminded me so much of my own grandma. I've gotten all misty-eyed every time I've watched her perform that song live (four times, and not enough). I think it's awesome for Patty that so many other artists are recognizing her and performing her songs. She deserves ten times more recognition and praise than she is getting right now. However, her songs are all such divine perfections...I play a couple of her songs on my guitar and *attempt* to sing occasionally, but feel quite blasphemous. Then again, I am certainly no Bette Midler. That's my contribution for the week. Thanx for reading. Now you may totally disregard!

She does a version of Wiggly Fingers that rocks. Acoustic. I have it on tape now, but it's cut off right at the start a bit and the end is damaged. john in sumner wa ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

I just got my tix for Patty Griffin and Richard Thompson---they are appearing together at the Keswick Theater in Pa on Nov. 20th at 8:00. I'll be in row D if anyone else is going. I can't wait! ~Patty~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1999 15:56:30 EDT From: Mercyme37@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Speaking of the Keswick Hi. If anyone wants to go to the show, but has to travel far, you can crash at my house. I live a 1/2 mile from the Keswick. Dave is crashing here. Just let me know if you are coming. The more the merrier! Patty will be solo, without her band. Peace, and blankets (LOL), Karla ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1999 13:20:29 -0700 (PDT) From: ruby maroon Subject: MM: LHF Yes, Yes it is there..how interesting. I went home at lunch and played it and sure enough it was there. It's beautiful. I wonder if they added that when they did the CD? It's always been there, and I've heard it before alot, but never but two and two togather that it was added vocal. It sounds great there, very gospel sounding, and I think I'd love to know who's..............voice that is. But no your not crazy it is there.

I've gotten all misty-eyed every time I've watched her perform that song live...> I too can not get over how this song brings tears to my eyes EVERY time I've ever heard Patty perform it live. When you're right up against the stage, you can see her face and I swear she sings that song with such passion that it carries over to the audience. I have yet to make it through that song without shedding tears, and it's been approximately 10 times now. STILL not enough Shannon.. :-) When Patty sang "Mary" last summer at WXPN's singer/songwriter festival in Philly her eyes started tearing up and she actually cried on stage while singing the song. Thinking back to that moment just gives me chills. I believe that was the 1st time that she ever performed the song live WITH the band.

I'll let everyone know when it's all done and start taking requests at a later date. Thanks!!

It's soooo freaking long. Hmmmmmm. I wonder if I can use it in a sentence. I'm sorry, but your shoes smell of antidisestablishmentarianism. anyway, I was just peeking in at my 800,000 messages (while I'm at work, of course)and thought I'd add my big phat nickel to the pot. Geez, with all this money being added, we oughtta have a raging kegger sometime....mmmmmmm. beer. My impression of Ms. Griffin's wardrobe: hey, like I even care. :) I would have to agree with whomever said this, but I wasn't too impressed with the pix in the Flaming Red thinger. But you know,like big freakin deal. I liked the clothes, it's just that those weren't the most flattering pix. As Mr. Lewis once sang (and I quoteth) "I like my band in business suites. I watch 'em on TV." But hey, if you wanna wear other stuff, I'm not gonna judge you for it. I still listen to Marilyn Manson, but I wasn't too into those crazy ambiguously naked costumes (it made him look anorexic (however you spell that)). Hey, speaking of... To update everyone on my previous opinion from long long ago.....:P I still like the slutty look. Getting back to my point (or lack thereof), Manson looks max better with that diva cross-dress look. But like I said before, big deal. *****on the sonja-lyrics thing**********not very Patty Griffin related****beware!!!**** Well, I had my Bible-Belt Southern Evangelical TV talkin research team do some Bible-Belt Southern Evangelical TV talkin research, and they said that it was some satanic message. But then again they weren't too keen on some of the lyrics from "Wiggly Fingers" so that research might have had a bias (speaking quantitatively, of course). They also weren't too sure on what this satanic message said. So, we bought the album and played it backwards 352 times. Conclusions are inconclusive, but the heavy-metal teenagers next door thought the research team was cool. Uh, my extensive research team wanted more money so I had them liquidated. Damn, good help is hard to find. Oooh, looky looky there! my shift is almost over. Gotta go kill some brain cells. Or, I guess kill some MORE brain cells. Hey, maybe those voices say...."go get Guinness". uh, um. hmmmm. you realize of course that if it actually said that, I would bow down to Patty Griffin. totally. *yes, paul just got up and shook his booty.
