>> I found this on the web . . .<<Shindell is typically veiled in his
comments about [his] work. When asked , he deadpans, I'm working on a song
about a traffic jam. I'm not yet quite sure what happens at the end;
possibly the ascension." >><<

I think I remember Richard telling David Dye on World Cafe that when he
started that song Sr. Maria was only in the first part and that he set it
aside for a while.  It was only about the traffic jam at that point.  Much
later, he revisited the song and it turned from then traffic to Sr. Maria
again.  So, it doesn't end in ascension now, but redemption.  I wonder how
many of his songs are written over long periods of time and end up in a
different place altogether.  Someone told me that Money For Floods started
out very different.  Wait, I found that note:

>>In early '97, "Money for Floods" was an entirely different song, different
melody, different story.  Almost sounded like "Sparrows Point," melodically,
and it was about Eliza and her daughter dealing with a harsh winter.

My name is Eliza
From Richmond, Virginia
My daughter Louise will be three in the Spring
If Spring ever comes
It's beginning to feel
Like Winter will never surrender the fields . . .<<

Subject: [RS] July in Santa Cruz cancelled?

I was just double checking the Kuumbwa Jazz Center web site in Santa Cruz
and Richard's Wednesday 7/12 show there is still not listed, so I checked
Musi-cal again and it's gone!  Any word as to why?  He did add a Carson
City, NV date for Thursday 7/13.  Lee Wessman, that might be a great place
for you in addition to Sebastopol!  I'm still debating Lakeside.
