I really enjoyed it. - --Meghan - -----Original Message----- From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Don Henn Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 1:45 PM To: mad-mission Subject: MM: Cruise report III Bonus show on Sat 2/09 was mostly interview, probably due to her throat probs.I was upset at first , b/c it was just Patty & her guitar. Don't get much of that anymore. Felt differently after it was over. Liked the intimate feel in the room as Patty talked freely. She did "Up to the Mountain", "J'irai la Voir un Jour" & about 6 lines from "Cat's Out of the Bag" b/c she couldn't remember the lines. Said "Cat" was probably the first song she ever wrote , & it was "really bad". I disagree. Also said her music was influenced by Rickie Lee Jones at the time.Songs were great , but I do like "J'irai" better on piano.She said "J'irai" was probably the first song she remembers hearing , As her grandmother used to sing it around the house. Also confirmed that Tony was an actual classmate in her homeroom.Read of his suicide when she was 21 & felt remorse that she never noticed him in his desperation. Had a long discussion about her songwriting process, & said she doesn't write much on the road & around music , but does better when she's just around the house & it just starts to come to her as she's relaxing or doing something else. Said she liked living in her private world with her songs as she develops them, & feels a sadness when she has to turn them out to the rest of world for the collaborative process that results in the final arrangement.Also told us that she liked poetry when she was young & knew she wanted to be a singer at 12, so she practiced singing from then on. In the battle of time In the battle of will It's only your hope And your heart That gets killed Patty Griffin "Sweet Lorraine" Don ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
