The lady that answered the phone said that she believes the concert has been cancelled. Does anyone have any additional information about this???

Hi All, Was fortunate to receive a copy of Silver Bell from a fabulous MM'er and was wondering which songs were covers. I'm assuming that "Standing" is not Patty's, but I was also wondering about some others that sound wonderful but don't sound like her writing. Anyone? Bueller? v-o-o-economics? Anyone? Thanks!

At last, Newsday ran my interview with Patty from back when she was in New York for the Joe's Pub shows. I've included the link below. The feature's called "Fast Chat" and it lives up to the name. It's fairly brief, which means there's not a lot of depth. Newsday's a general circulation newspaper, and unfortunately, a lot of our readers probably haven't heard of Patty. I had to keep my questions kind of general. anyway, hope you enjoy. There's more of the interview that I was unable to include. If I get some free time (a big if), I'll post the rest. I'm thrilled Patty's coming back to New York. The Bowery Ballroom is where I first saw her play. It's a cool place to see a show.

That's meant in the kindest, fun-loving sense of the word, of course. There she was on a recent sunny day in Central Park, giggling like a schoolgirl and singing a goofy ode to her pet dog Beanie, who seemed oblivious to his owner's obvious talents. Griffin has reason to smile nowadays. After a traumatic stint with Interscope, in which her last album was shelved because of creative differences, she's now with Dave Matthews' independent ATO label and has just released her first album ("1000 Kisses") in nearly four years. She sat down with Newsday's Robert L. Fouch to talk about the joys of sad songs, the evils of the recording industry and the kindness of New Yorkers. Can you talk a little about the new album? It was made without any involvement of any record label whatsoever. Doug Lancio, who's my bandleader, and I got together to just sort of play music and record it. We didn't know how it was going to turn out. We sat down and played and had a good time and made it in about five days. It's got to be frustrating, though, to know your previous album is just sitting there and you can't do anything about it. Well, I could pick some of it up at some point in the future. I think things sort of turn out the way they're supposed to turn out. This is a nice record - I hate that word nice - this is a good record, and, yeah, eventually you just don't know what could happen. Maybe it'll see the light of day. How do you put an album together? Do you have a theme or do you just put a bunch of your best songs together? This record I tried to sing just things that I really wanted to sing. And when I sat down with Doug before I flew to Nashville to record it, I told him, looking at this list, that they're actually really cohesive. It just worked out that way. It was an accident. And these songs also were very recordable in a minimal kind of way. Since I was making the record out of my own pocket, I couldn't really afford to put a big rock band together. These songs hold up really well. How do you classify yourself musically? Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't define myself whatsoever. It's one of my worst fears [laughing]. Don't like it. Don't like it all. Do you think that presents a problem in the marketing aspect of the business? I guess it's a problem if people want it to be a problem. I personally don't have that problem. I like so many different types of music. I wish it was easier to find out about more different kinds of music. When you're on a major label ... if you asked me a year ago, I would have said, "Oh yeah, it's very much of a problem." I don't feel that way anymore. Do you have a specific career goal? Do you want the typical pop thing? I want to sing and I want to write. And I'd like to make my living at it. I guess I think it's becoming obvious to me that you don't necessarily have to be on the radio like everybody thought to make your living doing this. Because I know a lot of people who are doing just fine and nobody plays their records on the radio. I remember as a young girl listening to the radio. I was one of the kids who fell asleep listening to the radio and knew all the words to all the songs in the summer and listened to the radio all day long. You know, I could tell you where I was sitting when I heard "Midnight Train to Georgia" for the first time. There's a lot of great memories that I have on the radio. I'm sad because I think that radio has lost a lot of its soul. You seem a little bit shy. How do you get up on a stage and open yourself up like that in front of hundreds or thousands of people? Practice, practice, practice. It was really, really hard at first, and it gets easier as I go along. Do you try to interact with the audience much? Or are you terrified of them? [Laughing] I'm not terrified of them. Somebody pointed out to me a long time ago that the audience wants you to do well. They want to be entertained, and they're not out for blood. How are the New York crowds? They're great. Is there something particular you like about playing in New York? I think audiences are very enthusiastic here. People who don't get to New York very often, their impression of New Yorkers is not necessarily of being warm and open. And I find that the audiences here are very warm and open and giving. It's a surprise, given the reputation New Yorkers have had from the tourists. Well, of course, you're a tourist, they're going to be cranky with you. [Laughing] You're annoying. All your songs seem to have some melancholy about them, or are a little dark. Is music therapy for you? I'm half Irish and I'm half French-Canadian. Those are two sad-song traditions right there. Just genetically, I've been given that. And I have a sad voice. I love sad songs. Sad songs make me happy. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:15:09 -0400 From: Leorah Young Subject: MM: RE: Wanted: Silver Bell I have also been hoping for a copy of the original and would be interested in trading.

Thus, the copy I have has the following track order: What You Are Truth #2 Top of the World Standing Sorry and Sad Sooner or Later Silver Bell Perfect White Girl One More Girl Mother of God Making Pies Little God Driving Boston The track order is as follows for the "original" version (per Sanders). This is the one I'm trying to get a copy of. 1) Little God 2) Boston 3) Perfect White Girls 4) Truth #2 5) What You Are 6) Silver Bell 7) Driving 8) Sooner Or Later 9) Top Of The World 10) Sorry And Sad 11) Making Pies 12) Mother Of God 13) One More Girl 14) Standing "Just resequence it", you say. True, but some of the cuts were meant to fade-in/out from one another, plus the copies that have been circulated have a fair number of pops/blips on them. By the way, Sanders, it appears that there a QUITE A FEW people on the list who have been promised copies of this CD that have never received them. Given, it was very generous of you to offer to do so for 180+ people, but please don't keep telling us "it's in the mail" when it's apparent haven't sent them out. Anyone who IS willing to do a trade for this version please drop me a line.
