King of Prussia is a very affluent town with lots of big houses and high property taxes. This all adds up to equal a lot of money and not much to spend it on. So King of Prussia passes the savings on to you! They host this lovely concert series, which is only $6, (free for children 16 and under or for adults over 65) out on a beautiful grassy lawn. You go early, stretch out a blanket, and chill. It's a perfect atmosphere for folk music. In fact, it was here that I fell in love with Richard's music. He was opening for Susan Werner in '97 or '98, and I was blown away by his wonderful, rich voice. "Summer Wind, Cotton Dress" should always be performed on a tender summer evening with a warm breeze brushing past the crowd. . . Anyways, I'm gonna try to be there (doubt it'll happen, though). You should definitely try to make it. Oh, BTW, the place gets its name because the King of Prussia helped the Union win some important battle against the British, and they thought naming the town after him would be a good way to give thanks. Someone more historically minded might be able to throw some more flesh on those bones, though. :-) Peace, Love, and Mischief, Vanessa cyrano@best.com wrote: > > 5/28 Concerts Under The Stars, King of Prussia, PA, 610-265-1071, 7:00 PM, > King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

I was listening to SNP at lunch yesterday, trying to imagine which parts a band of that caliber would play when those songs are done live. I wonder if the fiddle will come in on that break in "You Stay Here," for instance, and what instrument Campbell will use to embellish "Transit." I also wonder if these shows are going to be recorded. Ron, please put your review on on the list for us poor exiles in the west. - -lee ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:11:39 -0400 From: Elwestrand Subject: [RS] Great Spiritual Movie Ok, so to tie this in to Richard I have to say that I feel a great deal of "pagan spirituality" in Richard's work. So therefore I imagine that some of the people who love his work lean that way too (like myself). So for all the neo-pagans out there I heavily recommend the film "Photographing Fairies." Unlike the recent pg film written to play to all ages "PF" was written for the artsy adult crowd. While it deals directly with the subject of Fairies existence, it also plays directly to the subjects of true love, the eternal soul and the conflicts between traditional belief, pagan belief and non-belief. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at (think Ridley Scott's Legend)and the writting is honest and uncomprimising. If you are lucky enough to find it at the local video store I think you will love it. Has anyone else on the list seen this? ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number - Free Free voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 16:20:01 -0400 From: tigerboy20@juno.com Subject: [RS] Richard's Interview Hello All: I just heard the Richard interview on WFUV. Very nice, as expected. He was interviewed by John Platt, who hosts their Sunday Morning show - and who used to produce the legendary Pete Fornatel's "Mixed Bag" program on the old WNEW-FM before mean space aliens came and took over that whole damn station. Got to run soon, so I'll be briefer than usual. John Platt referred to "Somewhere Near Paterson" as a brilliant album... and Richard seemed very pleased. He had the band with him and they sounded great... especially the mandolin. That's Larry Campbell, right? ( Don't have the CD in front of me). They played "Wisteria" live. John Platt said he thought the song had a very "wistful" sound... which led Richard to wonder if "wisteria" and "wistful" are somehow related as words... which led to a brief discussion of the Oxford English Dictionary... and the fact that Richard used to enjoy perusing it back in his student days. John Platt played several tracks off the CD including "Confession" and "You Stay Here". They then did "Shades of Gary" and "Mary Magdalene (sp?) " live. ok... I got to go... I left some stuff out for others to post if they want. See Ya... Tigerboy ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

RS is a smart guy. :-) I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying anything.... :-) > Opening > for him was Jess Klein, whom I had never heard of, has anyone else > heard of her? YES!!! And she rocks. I first heard her on the Respond compilation and then at Falcon Ridge. That woman is so energetic! Not so much a folky singer songwriter I'd say, more towards rock. Music with an attitude. Katrin sorry about all the individual mails tonight but that's what happens when I make my way through all that piled up mail in my inbox. ____________________________________________ we come to pass not to stay all that matters anyway is what will follow you Peter Mulvey (all the way home) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 22:26:37 +0200 From: Katrin.Uhl@t-online.de (Katrin Uhl) Subject: RE: [RS] :) Hi folks, just got back home to a zillion mails and wanted to add another "Charlie, Kerry et al, you guys rock and thanks for keeping us all informed" because it is so true, it makes such a difference. Especially here in music-noman's land (sp?) > Maybe it's because when I was living in > Canada wishing Dar would tour there, Charlie was great about e-mailing me > (and the Dar-list) and I really felt in the loop about things, despite > being so geographically OUT of the loop. oh, I so know what you mean (when was the last time I mentioned feeling geographically challenged? :-) ) Of course it doesn't make the quality of the music any better/different, but it puts a different feel to it. I played Abuelita to my mom the other day and she loved it - I told her, if she loves my rendition, she's bound to be blown away when she hears Richard do it. Now we just need to get her near a Richard gig... oh my gawd, I'm watching VH1 while making a birthday cake and preparing a presentation and they are having an 80s thing, anybody remember Wham or FisherZ? Ohoh, I feel transported 15 years back into my youth...

I checked to see if at least the audio for the segment had been archived but found only the following synopsis: "Argentina's "Dirty War" in which thousands of "enemies of the state" disappeared in the '70s and '80s -- has a dirty little secret. The children of those victims were given to childless military couples and remain with them today, some perhaps living with the very people who murdered their real parents. Bob Simon reports. Michael Gavshon is the producer. " It featured interviews with an abuelita and her granddaughter who had been reunited after the girl saw a video on TV of a woman carrying a picture (that she recognized as of herself) in a march.

I've been twice, and camped both times, once with friends, once in my own new little put-up tent. Both times for me it was hotter than you can possibly imagine, although the second time, icy cold at night. It's like camping on the moon, as if there were no atmosphere between yourself and the sun. Unbelievable. But also glorious. the second time it was clear and dazzling, brilliant sunshine, brilliant stars at night. it's on a huge farm on a beautiful hill and you camp way up on the hill (unless you're very sociable and get there early and camp on teh hillside). They are very very organized, the port-a-potties actuallly have *sinks* to wash up with outside in these little kiosks. The first time (1995) I went there were these solar-powered showers and need I say that htey powered about 3 of the 3000 showers, brrrrr. Second time, hot water but no lights. I gather the musicians spurn these hardships and find hotels, but I bet they're sold out early. the whole thing is (to my 60's-wannabee eyes) a huge throwback with booths selling all the stuff you'd expect, handcrafts, all kindso f folky music, the silver jewelry, tie-dyed fresh fruit herbal tea etc. :) Anyway, the point is, it really is an Experience that I recommend, but I think camping is fun so try it! (Oh, they are very anxious about first aid and go around handing out or urging you to get sunscreen, water trucks go round, etc. etc.) And another thing, I hear tell that there are various spontaneous gatherings of musicians around campfires, jamming, etc. The key is *timeslots* for the shows. The brochure is very non-specific, so last time (1998) I *missed* richard's set because it was last time on Sunday and i had to leave. At leat there were the workshops. The Main Stage Friday/Saturday night woudl be best.... lisa ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V2 #44 **********************************
