Subject: Re: [RS] Waiting for the Storm

Would anyone out there happen to have the chords for Richard's song Waiting 
for the Storm. I love the mandolin part (Im partial to Mandolins since I play 
one), but the harmony is also wonderful. And by the way, what exactly is the 
song about?
If anyone knows of a URL with this song I would much appreciate it.
Thanks
Jeff

Hey all. I'm crawling out of lurkdom to see if anyone else is going to see 
Richard this Sunday in Atlanta. I'm driving down from Nashville for the show 
and would love to meet up. If there's anyone out there going, let me know. 
That's all for now...

Not me, but I'm sending out my minions to catch the show. One of my best buddies
is going with his boyfriend, and I told them to put in a good word for me with
Richard <g>. I bet it's gonna be a lot of fun, since I assume his fan base is
not too large down there--you should get a pretty intimate show. Not that it
wouldn't be even greater if he *did* have even more fans. Anyway, have fun! :-)

Peace, Love, and Mischief,
Vanessa

P.S. Muchas gracias to tigerboy and John for answering my salty dog question!
:-)

Lots of Richard talk on the Ellis Paul list today.  I added my comments as 
well, but I won't bore you with those here, I'll just let you hear what 
others are saying. :-)  Suffice it to say, I think we may have sold quite a 
few more CDs today.  Seems like fans of Ellis like Richard as well, and vice 
versa. :-) 

SMOKEY
>>>I've heard a few of you mention seeing Richard Shindell, and I just 
found out last night we're fortunate enough to have him playing in 
Asheville tomorrow night (at grey eagle, where i first saw ellis...)
I've heard him on the radio, and on Mtn. stage, but don't know many
of his songs.  What should I request, and if he has albumns available at 
the show, which should i get (we're on a 4 cd a week budget, and can 
only get 2 more this week...) I can't wait to hear him live!<<<

>>>I saw R.S. last night without knowing much about him.  You'll 
have a great time.  He does have CDs available after the show (at least he 
did in STL).  One of my favorites from last night's show was actually a 
pre-show request from someone.  I THINK (help me out guys) that it's called 
"The Way I Remember You"???  Something about a cotton dress and a stolen 
kiss...  Something I wanted to hear last night and didn't was a song he did 
with Cry Cry Cry called "Cold Missouri Water."  He encored with "Are You 
Happy Now" which was a great song.  I wish I could remember what he finished 
the pre-encore show with--it was a fast-paced awesome song--R. Shindell 
fan's:  what's the name of the Civil War song?  That was a great one too.<<<

>>>Richard Shindell.....swoon....."Confession" from his newest CD called
"somewhere near paterson" is awesome.  This morning I heard a live acoustic
version of it on WYEP and I swear I had an out-of-body experience as I
listened to it.  :-) Also....."The Ballad of Mary Magdalen" from an earlier 
release ("Blue Divide", I think) is one you'll want to hear too.  Lucy 
Kaplansky sings lead
on it on the Cry, Cry, Cry version...and it is simply beautiful.<<<

>>>Richard Shindell was also extremely nice and what a VOCABULARY.  I heard 
him use the words "impetus" and "paradigm" within the same two sentences.  
And 
that was in the first 5 minutes of the show!  Yes, I know he did Wisteria; I 
don't know if he did the others since I'm not 
recognizing them by title.  He did the song about the Best Western--he 
opened with that.  In was in the post-amble of this song that he used 
impetus and paradigm. What cracked me up about Richard is that he's just this 
regular guy--the kind of guy I always share chit-chat with in the line at the 
grocery 
store--I'm buying my beer I can chew and he's got a loaf of bread, a gallon 
of milk and Cheerios...and neither of us really wants to be there and we 
share that ugly karma that causes us to ALWAYS be in the line with the 
cashier-in-training.<<<

>>>A few years ago I was graced with a fabulous housemate who played guitar
*really* well. In fact during his Berkely (college of music) days, he was in a
band with Reeves Gabrel (now w/David Bowie).  Michael definately could have
become a peer to don, if he had continued his music studies and not uncovered
another calling.  Lucky for me, and all the people he's touched as a paramedic
(otherwise we never would've met) he went back to school, again lucky for me
that the best acoustics in our apt. was in the vaulted hallway outside my
bedroom door.  M. used to play a lot of Shindell, esp. Are You Happy Now.  I
liked the lyrics alot, but I guess I never was compelled to buy a shindell cd
because, well, did I mention M. would play the same song for an hour straight
when he was upset?  sometimes, I just wanted to get some sleep ;~)  but I'm
very open to learning more of his work (in moderation this time).  I think my
cd budget is more like 1 per month, but then I start to feel like I'm missing
out on great stuff.  Balance is hard to find.<<<

>>>Anyway, you had 
recommended him so highly and my friend SmartBri (with whom I saw Ellis for 
the first time and who I hooked up with because we both like Gorka) told me 
that my collection was sorely lacking without any R. Shindell. (The last 
recommendation he had for me was Martin Sexton so I know to trust him)  
Richard was such a nice guy.  I complimented him on his vocabulary and he 
said, "I get paid by the word."  Some of his lyrics seemed yanked right out 
of my head, you know?  And when he came back out for the encore, he kind of 
looked out at us and said something about the encore being a strange 
convention and told a great story about a show he did in W. Mass. with Lucy 
K. when they had to wait out the minutes between the show and the encore 
outside in this snowstorm.  I was thinking the same sort of thing at the 
last two shows I went to (Forbert and Springsteen).  I know I keep going on 
and on about this, but he was just great.<<<
