I'm sure I don't Wow, you're lucky! She hardly ever plays that one anymore. Usually only when she plays solo. She used to say that she had to play it for her mother all the time.

So maybe I'll just have to wait till then to hear it (argh!). Oh, that's so sad! They're both must-hear live songs, it's a shame you had to choose one or the other! >A few adjectives to share after *seeing* her perform for the first time... >she's hypnotizing! so tiny! beautiful! and so intense... I wish I lived in >Toronto so I could see her perform all the time. I'd be such a groupie. :) We used to be able to see her (and her pal Emm Gryner) virtually every week. Them were the good ole days! >Oh, and so today my friend and I were roaming the HMV downtown in Toronto >before I caught my bus, and my friend looks up and says, "Hey!

Gotta love them HMV people. >Anyway, just wanted to offer up this short review of her show... it's 5:40 am, >I just got home from the long bus ride from Toronto, and I'm supposed to go to >class at 8:00 am but I don't see that happening right now. :) Ah well... Thanks for posting Jenn, it was fun to vicariously experience a Sarah show for the first time all over again. :-) Who's going to see her at the Riv tonight? I can hardly wait! I invited out this cool guy I met at the Jonatha Brooke show last night who's in town for a few days, visiting from Ireland. Hope he shows...

Pease) Subject: major taboo (shh!) ok i know this is so not cool but hey sometimes i'm shameless. i promise i will only ask once, but i must must ask because i am going completely insane this week. after hearing that "sadie" song sarah sang last weekend at queens, i have had it in my head ALL WEEK. i'm getting to the point where i almost wish i had never heard it because it was just SO beautiful and i remember a lot of the melody but only like a dozen of the words. and i'm going completely insane because of this. so here's my request, and you all can please shut your eyes if you are going to get angry at this: does ANYONE have a tape of a time sarah has sung this song live? if you do and you could share (just this one song!!) i promise you, you would be saving my life. i don't think i can live a mentally-healthy existence without hearing this song again, do you understand?! ok this email came off as COMPLETELY insane, but please forgive me. :) and please save my life all you wonderful people out there who might have a recording of this song! thankyouthankyou, and now back to your regularly scheduled legal activity! - -jenn :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1999 18:31:13 -0500 From: Paul Schreiber Subject: slean on toronto.com http://www.toronto.com/E/E/TORON/0023/68/85/cs1.html >Playing material from her new CD Blue Parade.
