I know this isn't the answer to your question, but the song "Summertime" is a Gershwin tune from the opera Porgy and Bess written in the late 1920s, Janis Joplin's version is a cover.

I posted the below item less than two months ago, but I'm sure folks who remember it from then will forgive this rerun. Maryanne Curtis was a girl who Tori went to junior high school with who died of a drug overdose when she was 16. By all accounts (and I know a number of people who went to junior high with Maryanne and Tori), she was an amazing, beautiful person. People who knew her back then still strongly and fondly remember Maryanne to this day, even if they never heard of Tori's song about her. Here's what Tori said about Maryanne on the WHFS radio program "Just Passin' Thru," which originally aired on February 11, 1996. You really have to hear the depth of feeling in her voice to get the full impact of it, but here's a transcript of what Tori said about Maryanne in that radio interview: "Umm, Maryanne came to visit me--the spirit of Maryanne. Maryanne Curtis was a girl that I went to school with. And uh, some say she killed herself, some say she died over an O.D. I choose to believe that Maryanne just umm--to me she was kind of like a young Mary Magdalene. She... it just wasn't... the world couldn't *hold* her anymore, it couldn't, umm, understand her energy." "I think anybody that knew Maryanne, would tell you that she reflected the best parts of you back. So when you'd look into Maryanne's eyes, yes, of course she was beautiful, but *you* felt beautiful, because Maryanne never hated *any*thing--*any*body. And so when she died, you felt like this thing that reflected the best part of **you**, had died. So for Maryanne to come back again, was umm... it was uh... like the second coming for me, really." Here's something which was printed about Maryanne. It was in the fan magazine Upside Down, Issue #4, from 1994 in the QT section on page 22-- The interviewer asked: "Who is Maryanne, mentioned in 'Sister Janet'?" Tori replied: "Maryanne Curtis is a girl I went to school with in junior high. She was the kind of person everyone adored, she was just magical. I had written a song about her years ago which I used to play in the bars sometimes. It never went any further than being performed, I didn't record it. Since then I have always wanted to have Maryanne in a song. She died from a drug overdose when she was 15. It is not known, but I don't believe it was a suicide. I think she took the wrong things together. She is very special to me, and comes to visit in my songs sometimes." Maryanne's death served as a major wake-up call to a lot of girls who knew her and were, like Maryanne, doing a lot of drugs. Maybe it still can. Tori's song is a wonderful memorial to sweet Maryanne. People now who never knew her feel warmly toward her. Tori did that. Tori is an astonishing person.

Sorry if this topic has been beaten to death. I have thought for a while that Blood Roses would be great with just Tori's voice and a distorted electric guitar.

Last, but not least, though probably the most strange---iieee done with a Spanish acoustic guitar quartet. Just the piano, guitars, drums, and Tori's voice. Think about it.

Hi everyone! The other day we had a variety show at my college. I attempted to sing Tori's "Winter." My friend played the piano and we were a big hit! I got so into the song I practically fainted. Everyone said they'd never heard lots of Tori before and admittingly said that all they'd heard was SATY because that's the only Tori they play on the radio around here... Three people even said they went and bought Little Earthquakes after hearing the song... Can I say a new group of Toriphiles??! How exciting!!! Go me.. holy conversion batman! On a serious note, does anyone have any used Tori cds they are selling for cheap? Someone stole my Under the Pink and Boys for Pele while I was on vacation.

Although Etienne is my favorite, and I do like Fire on the Side, I'd have to go with "Floating City". I view this as more like modern Tori, and very explorative of other worlds, however, in a more traditional form (thought-out story, consistent images and linear thought process) with much the same messages. Her later works are more free-flowing, associative, and evocative in meaning, and make less "sense" in the linear / literal realm. - -Richard @ \@/ Richard A.

Not quite true. Compressors are in place to prevent Tori from blowing up all of her sound equipment. Basically, a compressor (or limiter) does not allow the output signal to exceed a certain set value (which would be within the normal operating range of her PA stacks). If the levels are correctly set by the sound techs (Mark and Marcel, who do an EXCELLENT job, btw), the compressors should NEVER kick in. I didn't tape on the DDI tour, but I know that on the Plugged tour, the average difference between peak SPL and average SPL was approximately 20dB. Quite amazing!

They removed ItSoHV and replaced it with one of the remixes of PW. That's right, there are -two- PWs on that disc.) While I think that the one with the PW remix is the only one in print, it shouldn't be horribly difficult to find the original. There were a -lot- of the original pressed, plus the re-release where Tori replaced the original Talula with the tornado remix which also still has ItSoHV. {I don't have numbers for outside Europe, but there were 800,000 of the original US BfP pressed.} If you have a used CD store in your area, I'd check 'em out.

I think it's great that LE was named a "Landmark Album" as it completely deserves that honor, but I just wanted to point out something in that little blurb that I disagree with. The reason I bring it up is that I've heard it many times before and I feel it deserves a clarification. The blurb read, "This shocking, gorgeous album blew open the doors for confessional singer-songwriters like Jewel, Alanis Morisette, Paula Cole, and Sarah McLachlan." Now, I don't know about Jewel, Alanis, and Paula, but, as both a Fumbler and Ears With Feet, I felt it was necessary to point out that Sarah came before Tori. I've read so many articles that say something to the extent that Sarah and similar artists are copying Tori, and with Sarah it's simply not true. Not only are their musical styles significantly different, but by the time LE was released, Sarah McLachlan had already released two albums -- 1988's 'Touch' and 1991's 'Solace' (an incredibly beautiful and underrated album, if I do say so myself). Now, please don't think I'm trying to criticize Tori or her work in this post. Believe me, I'm not. Tori and Sarah are my two musical obsessions, and my intention was simply to clarify from an unbiased point of view. Natalie Rob F wrote: > Hello all.
