So sad! But oh well. Well, the thing is that it seems this year's Lilith had the various performers on various stages scheduled so close together than the instant one performer would finish, another would start. It was pretty irritating, I think, because it takes about ten minutes to get from one stage to the other, and then you will probably wind up seeing artists from very far away if you don't line up early. > Now some questions.

(Anyone know if she needs > someone to direct them? Ha ha.) Steve said she did make a video for 'Weight', but the likelihood of it ever getting aired on any sort of TV station is pretty slim.

I think they ended up selling 15 of them (is that right?), just by playing the CD during dinner and selling them to all the people who came up asking about it!

Toronto singer Sarah Slean did just that at the first of three shows in support of her new CD, Blue Parade, at Ted's Wrecking Yard last Thursday. After being made to wait outside the club while Slean finished soundchecking and again inside, the crowd was buzzing louder than the overworked fan. Yet when Slean took the stage with a full band, including guitarist Kurt Swinghammer and a string quartet, all was forgiven. During her quiet piano lullaby "Narcolepsy Weed," the audience was completely hushed, erupting in appreciative applause only after the last tinkling note. Spotted in the crowd were admirers Oh Susanna, Hayden and his sidekick Howie Beck, the ubiquitous Moe Berg and ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 17:24:58 -0700 From: "Sophie" Subject: Re: Why it was never a secret that Sarah is better than Lilith.
