I'm just one of those types of people who is always in search of hearing someone new. Anyway, my point is..I was just wondering if anyone out there listens to a syndicated radio program called "today's women". It comes on the rock/alternative station here (columbia, sc) on Saturday mornings at 10 and lasts for an hour. Well, I love this show. They feature interview clips from the singers and play alot of live songs. Just wanted to let everyone know that I have discovered a lot good female singers from this show. I'm glad that there is so much recognition going on out there for these great female singers :) C-ya Caroline P.S. I've been listening to the show for over a year and haven't heard them play Patty. I did however hear "Change" used for background music when the announcer was talking. lol I guess that counts for a little something. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 23:03:23 -0700 From: L & C Israelson Subject: Re: MM: my fat is phat Uh, WAY too much information, Paul.

Currently I am sending out Stephanie Hewett and along the way various musicians have been signing up to play at these special events. - ----------------------------- Thanks to Mr. BB here's a history of the LRT phenomenon. Back in April of 97, Cindy Lee Berryhill and Elizabeth Hummel were on a US tour together and doing a gig in Cambridge, MA. Their next gig, two nights later, was scheduled for Albany, NY (a very long drive). They discovered that the Albany venue mistakenly advertised their gig on the wrong date, so rather than drive all that way for a certain wash-out gig, they contacted members of the Jewel list and suggested doing an impromptu gig in the Boston area, if The EDAs could provide a venue and there was enough interest. Amazingly, within 24 hours The Snyder family in Boston volunteered their home and approximately 25 people from around New England descended on the Snyders home with food, drink and piles of audio and video equipment. At first, everyone was a little anxious not knowing what to really expect, especially the musicians. As we eased into the performance, everybody relaxed and began totally getting into the spontaneity of the moment. This intimate approach dramatically changed the dynamics between performer and audience. The musicians were totally getting off on the fact that everyone really was there to listen and the audience experienced a "one on one" closeness not experienced in a "traditional setting" type performance. Total communication between us all inspired Cindy Lee and Elizabeth to play for almost 4 solid hours and everyone (including them) left a bit stunned and amazed at how great it was! It was certainly the most memorable night of their tour. Shortly after this, the musicians, myself and several other friends here on this list, began discussing the viability of doing a revolutionary approach to touring and somehow facilitate more of what happened in Boston. The idea was to cut out "all the suits", i.e., management, promoters, agents, etc., and book a summer tour directly into fans homes. I won't get into all the details but this was done and it was a huge success! Shows were booked in various EDA homes around Northeastern USA, promoted by fans on the Internet and a ttended by hundreds of people over the course of the tour. Every date was incredibly special in its own way. Some shows were actually in living rooms and several were outdoors in yards. Each attendee paid $10 toward the musicians. This "LRT Concept" has taken focus primarily with San Diego and Boston area musicians, but is continually expanding. Musicians who've participated in LRT gigs include members of The Rugburns, Joy Eden Harrison, Gregory Page, Lisa Sanders, Mary Dolan, Randi Driscoll, Cindy Wasserman, Peggy Watson, Jody Blackwell, Jenny Bruce, Renatta Bratt, Kevin So, Eric Gerber and of course Elizabeth Hummel and Cindy Lee Berryhill (and now even CLB's entire Garage Orchestra). Almost everything so far has been recorded and there exists an extensive archive of the LRTs so far. Some video clips will eventually be on various websites and some of the recordings have been released (with authorization) on the "Future Folklore" tape series, which itself was inspired by that 1st "LRT gig" in Boston. Other authorized releases will be forthcoming. This "LRT scene" continues to generate incredible interest. Many musicians have expressed interest for future LRT's, including fairly high profile artists like Freedy Johnston, Patty Griffin and Tara MacLean. Every musician who's done it, definitely wants to do it again. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am currently working with Stephanie Hewett to hear her music via MP3 or more infor check out her website at www.stephaniehewett.com. There are some people born into this world with a special talent as a musician. As the years pass, life seeks to find this talent and ignite its expression. For Stephanie, music lives inside her spirit and is released through thythm and harmony of her songs. Born in rural Kansas, Stephanie grew up in a small farming community. She began piano lessons at age 5 and drew inspiration from jazz and rock classics, the sound Stephanie would later claim as her own was emerging. It was during college that longed to leave the orchestra, where she played a bass, and let loose to experiment without boundaries. Stephanie broke away from what she felt were the stiff rules of standard music and is currently working on a new album due out this summer. - ------------------------------- A Living Room Show is an informal concerts, usually in people's homes, where 20 or more people can sit comfortably to enjoy an initmate concert. Its a great way to bring a musician to your town. Living Room Host Provide: Space that can fit at 20 or more folks comfortable. Can be in your home or even a local community center, meeting space, your garage, or outside. 20 or more music-loving guests ($10 suggested donation per person) Electricity, help unloading and other small tasks the day of the concert. Maybe drinks and/or food. Maybe not. E-mail me with any questions you might have or for a few various ideas about how to set up a show check out these websites. http://www.island.net/~oldfolk/housecon.htm http://alanr.lpl.org/ProductionTips.html http://ifolk.org/hc/houseconcerts-02.html#TopOfPage Musicians: Please respond as soon as possible to find out about the nearest show to you and coordinating on the show dates/times.

Subject: MM: Patty URL hey all, thanks for the heads up mike! i just say what i'm told... mike posted: > > The artwork he mentions however is not necessarily even being considered, as I was told "the artwork has not been done yet so no one knows what the cover will look like". As for that shot with Patty on the edge of the swimming pool, that WAS taken by a photographer named Sam Jones during an L.A. photo shoot of "old funky motels", as they put it. (i.e. fitting in with the subject of "Silver Bell"). The swimming pool shot is being used by Interscope on a postcard that is being handed out at the Dixie Chicks shows and was sent out to some industry and retail folks. (I forgot....did Rich eventually post a URL with a scan of that photo?) unfortunately, rich's evil scanner keeps crapping out on him. so he couldn't get a scan... until...
