Top of the World. Since I'd heard this one live a while back (sessions from west 54th, i think), I was really surprised that she didn't choose to include this one on 1000 KISSES. I love MAKING PIES, but I do think TOTW would've been right at home on KISSES. 2. Sooner or Later 3. truth #2- I LOVE this song. It's so much fun. Perfect material for the Dixie Chicks. I really admire them for sticking with Patty's material. 4. What you Are- the first song on the cd that I fell in love with. I've since moved on, but I still think it's an amazing track. 5. Mother of God On an unrelated note, I discovered (ok, I didn't discover it......i know i'm going to get countless grief from that statement) a new album that i think the majority of this list would dig. Since Patty has covered several songs by Bruce Springsteen, I figured maybe I should check his stuff out. I've never been much of a fan. My older brothers were into BORN IN THE USA, but he never really appealed to me. Anyway, the other day I downloaded the entire NEBRASKA album from winmx and it's absolutely amazing. Very stark and melancholy. Reminded me a lot of LWG. It was absolutely nothing like any of the Bruce Springsteen songs I'd heard. Definitely not BORN IN THE USA territory (which i don't really dig). just my 2 cents. By the way, I've ordered the cd since, so no grief about ripping Bruce Springsteen off, please. take care, mike ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 09:42:23 -0400 From: "Thomas H.

Oh, man, it does my heart SO GOOD to see someone discovering the beauty of the "Nebraska" album. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. Like you, I wasn't as much of a fan as Bruce's "saxophone songs," as I call them, but when he just settles down to tell a story with an acoustic guitar, there is NO ONE better, and probably never will be. He is really a living, breathing American treasure. In my opinion, even BETTER than Nebraska, is his INCREDIBLE "Ghost of Tom Joad" CD. It's in the same vein as Nebraska, stark and story-driven, with mostly just acoustic guitars, accordions, etc. If you love Nebraska, you should DEFINITELY pick up "Tom Joad." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 09:50:39 EDT From: FlamingRed74@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: 5 from SB and NEBRASKA Mike, That's funny that you compare Bruce's Nebraska album to Living With Ghosts. Way back when, I remember hearing (or reading) an interview with Patty explaining the making of LWG. As she talked about it originally being a band recording, then record co. releasing the demos instead, she mentioned that it would go down in her career as something similar to Springsteen's Nebraska album. Very different, yet honest, sparse, etc.. It seems that a lot of really good songwriters point to the Nebraska album as one of their favorites. One of their great influences in the way they'd like to do things. I'm sure that's NOT what Bruce had in mind, or expected when he decided to do something so different. For the record.. I enjoy the Nebraska CD. But I'd definitely take LWG over it, any day. :-) Oh yeah.. yesterday I took my 5 songs from Silver Bell, and I'd now like to change my 5th & final song.. LOL. I had originally decided on Little God, Boston, TOTW, Makin' Pies, and Sorry & Sad. Upon further review I realized I mistakenly forgot Mother Of God. Sorry & Sad must go, Mother Of God is IN! Have a great weekend guys!

(Don't believe the concert listing on patttygriffin.net that says tickets are available at TicketMaster.) Lucinda Williams is there this Sunday July 13. The Hartwood Acres website is: http://www.county.allegheny.pa.us/spev/sched02.asp#loc ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 14:49:32 -0500 From: "Eric Southward" Subject: MM: Patty as a promo I don't if anyone listens to ESPN Radio (I do, I'm m a guy). But during the Tony Bruno show, they run snibbets of a few songs with Tony in it. As most MM'ers know, Patty sings a Tony song. Anyway, the run a couple of lines from "Tony" during his promo. Namely, the line "Hey Tony, What's so good about....." As any advertiser will tell you, any advertising is good advertising, so I guess any national radio airplay is good airplay.

NOT the MP3 version. Despite several assurances, it's now obvious I won't be receiving a copy (What happened to Sanders? Anybody?). I have lots to trade.
