Be there this year! Three days of fun and frolic by the Lake. Great tunes, great food (thai, indian, etc), beverages, sun. I'm very excited. Rumour has it that all three of the three troubadours (Sarah, Sarah and Suzie!) will be there this summer. Now that's unconfirmed but Suzie just sent out her spring/summer tour dates and Hillside's on it. I will completely confirm the Hillside story. It was a cloudy morning, all of us, sitting there in the field, sipping our chai, munching on our pakoras, trying not to spill tamarind sauce on our shorts... Enter Sarah Slean. Now, the crowd is digging her and I thought she was making a great impression on them when... ...and remember we have not see the sun today at all.... she hits on the "sunlight" in Universe and all of the clouds suddenly break away and a single beam of sunlight shines right down on Sarah, illuminating her for a very epiphinetical moment before widening to include the whole portion of the stage. From that moment on, she could do no wrong. Hillside promises to be a very good line up this year. If you get advance tickets its about $30 for the weekend, Friday night, Saturday from noon to midnight and Sunday from about noon to midnight. It works out to about almost 30 hours of music, art, munching, drinking, talking, munching, music, chatting and munching in a single weekend. A blissful, innocent time. I'm hoping Sarah is there longer than just a single day this time. Its rated one of the best 25 folk festivals in North America...

Steve and I where there for that show and, I guess we didn't say much about it; the set list: (1) Memory Don't Fade (2) High (3) Closer (4) Me & Jerome (5) Universe (with Hillside Festival story) (6) Habit It was my, (yes, really) thirty-first Sarah show. It was a very fun and happy show despite the orientation of the set. I was very pleased to see Susan Werner, who is sooo funny in real life when her albums are so, well, tragic. I really regret missing so much of Tori Cassis' set, I think we made it there for the last song of his set... ...the Fruvs has a lot of fun with Sarah's Angel and with Susan on Summertime and the medley. > had been cloudy out, and when she got to that line the clouds parted and = > the sun came through. the audience was stunned. it was great.

Well, the new one should be out 'real soon now' and will be well worth the wait! I'm anxiously anticipating the day I'll hold it in my grubby little paws :-) James. ========================================================================== James McGarry | jmcgarry@UoGuelph.CA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- An artist should be fit for the best society and keep out of it. - - John Ruskin ========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Apr 1999 16:13:53 EDT From: Starfall18@aol.com Subject: stretch princess..... hey sorry for the crosspost, but i wanted the best representation.... ok so there is a stretch princess/cherry popping daddies concert about 25 minutes from where i live on april 25, and i was wondering if it was worth going to...... :) thanks:) emily:) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 18:20:26 PDT From: "Tab Siddiqui" Subject: Re: sarah's mailout James wrote: >"Songs for Klem" is available at your HMV? Yours is so much better Darlin', Guelph is no T.O. ;-P Also, Paul was right when he said I meant the flagship HMV on Yonge. Though I live in suburbia, I consider the Yonge music stores my local shops, 'cause they're around the corner from Ryerson, so in between classes you'll usually find me browsing at one of them. :) >than mine which didn't have the lastest My Brilliant Beast, Ivanna's >_Brown_, or that darn "Songs for Klem". Though their folk section "Brown" may take another week or two to get to all the retailers 'cause it's being distributed through an indie, Page. Reminds me - I have to pick that up...

If anyone's interested I can write it up quickly and post it. Interesting disc, actually. Pretty far removed from Sarah's band or solo stuff, but a good listen for fans of hers and traditional folk music, anyhow. >P.S. The same Indie Nation says 'Universe' is #8 on the monthly Top >Ten. Hmm.... Oh, I should have clarified - the sales chart of the indie section of the flagship HMV changes each week, and this week "Universe" is #1. The Indie Nation published charts are the overall monthly rankings. - - Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of navy-soup-digest V2 #41 ******************************
