["Steve Ramirez" <] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 07:47:21 -0700 (PDT) From: East Coast Gal in Austin Subject: MM: I met Patty in Austin!! Hey Y'all! After living in Austin for less than two months, I ran into none other than Ms. Patty G during a concert at a local pub!! It was about two weeks ago. The band playing was Loose Diamonds, and her beau, Troy Young Campbell, was singing. The band played at a local watering hole just before Bruce Springsteen's concert to get the fans pumped up (Loose Diamonds is reportedly one of the Boss' fave local bands). Anyways, my girlfriend Ronda (also a member of this list -- and who I met through this list a year ago, but that's a whole other sordid story of longdistance lesbo love!) and I went to hear the band, secretly hoping that either Bruce himself, or Patty (who lives in Austin), would make a surprise appearance. We had heard it from a good source at the local radio station that was sponsoring the free event that Patty was going to play. But alas, she didn't! However...as Ronda and I were standing there, grooving on Loose Diamonds and special guest Ray Wylie Hubbard, we looked over to our left and saw this beautiful tangle of curly red hair. "Ohmigod, hun!!!" I said. "I think that's Patty!!" We looked down at her feet and sho'nuff, the mysterious woman was wearing clunky black platform shoes - the very type of footwear that I've seen Patty wear on stage. At this point, my heart was racing -- but why? After all, she's just another person, right? I suppose. But on some level, she's not just any person, she's The Voice...the woman who sang to me while I drove up the coast in Northern California on my first solo vacation...the woman who so aptly expresses so many things I have felt and could never find the words for. In short, she's my own female version of The Boss!!! A New England, female Bruce Springsteen come to life! Thus, I was absolutely titillated to be standing there, just a few feet from Patty! Not wanting to disturb her quiet (and anonymous) viewing of her boyfriend's band, I waited for a little bit and then tapped her on the shoulder. "Are you going to play tonite, Patty?" I asked. She looked at me for a sec, probably wondering whether she knew me (she doesn't) or whether I was a freak (I'm not!). She then shook her head and smiled. I shrugged, smiled back, and left it at that. Later, after the show, Ronda and I saw Patty standing outside on a back patio, chatting w/some friends. We waited until the conversation seemed finished and then timidly shuffled up to her. I felt like such a teeny-bopper groupie! Anticipating her possible appearance, I brought my girlfriend's CD sleeve of "Living w/Ghosts," and asked Patty if she would autograph it. She was sweet! She smiled and said sure and signed her name. Then, I proceeded to make a fool out of myself, saying all manner of praiseful things, such as "I just love your music," and "You're such a great poet," and "You songs, like, really speak to me," blah blah blah!" I did, however, manage to ask her if she knows about this MM listserv. She said she does. I then asked her if she'd ever be willing to make an e-mail appearance once in a while. She seemed a little shy then and said she wasn't profficient at email. So I said, "Well Patty, would you ever be open to doing a Q&A with us every great once in a while?" She said she definitely would, and told me to arrange it through her management. Good enough, I thought! So folks, it seems that Patty is willing to answer our questions, but only very periodically, ("like once a year," she said, b/c she's pretty busy.) What do y'all think?? We could submit our questions to Mike and have him complile the 10 or 12 best ones, and then forward them on to Patty's management. Then, at her leisure, she could answer them and Mike could post the answers to the group. What say all of y'all???

You wrote: > Patty's opening act at the Westmont show was Nancy Falco. I had > enough money to buy either Nancy Falco's CD or the Flaming Red > t-shirt, and i went for the shirt. I don't regret it, but I'd sure > like to know more about Nancy Falco and hear her music again if anyone > knows anything about her. Nancy Falkow is a singer/songwriter from Philadelphia with a great voice and wonderful songs. She appeared last year on the Lilith Fair tour. She also runs Indre Studios where WXPN produces many of it's World Cafe sessions. She'll be appearing tonight at the Point in Bryn Mawr at a benefit for another local artist, Lisabeth Weber, who is recovering from cancer surgery.

It was a really sad song, and I hoped it was Patty's and she would put it on her album, but it might be Tom's. I was just wondering if that was the song all were talking about. :-) John ===== "When I was growing up, we had a petting zoo, and, well, we had two sections.

First off, welcome to new poster, Amanda. I've been off the list for a while, and since returning, have been laying low, watching the posts, and dying in anticipation of Patty showing up at our local venue (the Pond in Anaheim), and the new album. So, when Amanda put her post up, and managed to not only mention Maria McKee (I agree, Life is Sweet took a shift in gears, but her self titled debut is still pretty incredible), but also Billy Joel in *one* post, I just had to say congrats! Second, I think the idea of a question list to be forwarded to Patty's management for her to look at is a great idea, as long as she actually finds time in her schedule to look at and answer them. Third, and finally, thanks to whoever posted the schedule for the KCET airing of the Austin City Limits songwriter's special... I forgot who you are... but I wrote it down and thank you again.
