Instead of retuning my guitar - I keep two in the house. That way I can switch and not lose everyone while re-tuning - because I can't stand totally retuning a guitar. ALSO, because they'll start saying, "Can you play any Cranberries, how about Jane Says by Janes Addiction?", etc. Same people ask for the same songs. It's too funny. - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 9:18 PM Subject: MM: RE: easy guitar songs? > Certainly, songs like "You Never Get What You Want" or "Be Careful" -- with > just Em, C, D and G (all ridiculously simple chords) -- are the best to start > out with.

VERY annoyed at 27 - fine at 30 fine at 32 - It's weird - I think it gets better. Maybe we are more confident and care less about the things we used to worry about when we were younger. So don't worry - it's normal!! Everyone can say "You're only 25, what are you complaining about?" But I've been there and I know how you feel. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nichole Piotrowski" To: "madmission" Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 11:02 PM Subject: MM: more age stuff > I hate to sound like the youngin but I still have 4 months before I hit 25 and > I'm already freaked out.

Of course, what happens is that every time I learn a new tuning, I have to buy a new guitar. So now, one guitar's in standard, one's in DADGAD, one's in Open D (DADF#AD), one's in Open C (CGCGCE), one's in DADDAD and one's in DADGBC. I simply can't afford to learn any new tunings . . .

This is my first post. I found Patty's music by accident and have been addicted ever since. I listen to her music so much even my two-year-old daughter can sing along with every song word for word! I did want to pass along some information on the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Patty is headlining on Friday, January 24. The show was scheduled at The Ark but due to some renovations has been moved to the Michigan Theater. I became a member of The Ark so I could get the early buy on tickets! If anyone out there is planning on attending maybe we could organize a meeting place for drinks before the show. Thanks for reading, Tina ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 10:57:13 -0500 From: "Guy S. Kaiser" Subject: MM: The Ark I like the Ark, it's a great place to actually listen to someone play. Michelle Malone is going to be there Feb 2nd, I guess as part of the folk festival. It's her first time playing there and I was going to drive up and see the show, will tickets be hard to get for this event? Can you buy them for an individual show or do you have to buy for the whole festival? thanks guy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 11:40:42 -0500 From: "Sarah Stanley" Subject: Re: MM: The Ark If Michelle is playing AT the ark and it's on Feb. 2 then it's not part of the Folk Fest -- that will be on Jan. 24th and 25th. Tickets are fairly easy to get for the Ark. You can get them via ticketmaster (and pay all the ungodly fees) or you can call the Michigan Ticket Union and order them w/a credit card at 734-763-TKTS (and only pay a $2 fee). OR you can chance it (based on her popularity) and just buy them at the door -- tickets usually go on sale 1/2 an hour before the show. :) Hope that helps!
