Trust me on this: My intention was to listen to what I have, and not worry so much about getting everything new under the sun...but why do I think this will cost us all $$$? My renewed acquaintance this morning is Laura Love's "Octoroon" and now I want everything else by her!! Deb Yahoo!

Now I'm ready to buy "Empty Glass" and "White City"! And I say don't forget Townshend's first solo album, "Who Came First," which is on my all-time list of the best albums ever made by any singer-songwriter under any circumstances in any zip code and in any climate. Came out about 1972. Cover has Townshend standing on eggs, during his Meher Baba phase. Absolutely wonderful, although I have no idea if it's available on a CD. Songs like "Pure and Easy," and "Nothing is Everything" and "Let's See Action" and "Sheraton Gibson," and not a dud in the bunch. - -lee ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:21:05 EST From: Loracevoll@aol.com Subject: Re: [RS] Pete In a message dated 01/04/2001 10:24:24 AM Pacific Standard Time, lwessman@amcity.com writes: > And I say don't forget Townshend's first solo album, "Who Came > First," which is on my all-time list of the best albums ever made by > any singer-songwriter under any circumstances in any zip code and in > any climate. ......

About my previous post ("Now I'm ready to buy "Empty Glass" and "White City"!"), Deb wrote: <> Actually, I don't have to go buy these -- I have them on LP (the same with "Who Came First"). But they're such great records that I feel *very* compelled to get them on CD now for ease of play. I happened to pick up "Lifehouse>elements" by Pete (sort of a Christmas present for myself!), which includes a number of songs that were on "Who Came First" as well as on "Who's Next". Here's a link to an interview about that project . . . http://www2.musiconclick.com/eelpie/cont/interview.html So, as I sit here -- about to post yet another note about Pete Townshend and *not* about Richard, and *not* about Dave and Tracy, I just wanted to say what an amazing, varied world of music I have been fortunate to live in. I'm recalling my days in Toledo, growing up to the Motown music blasted by Windsor's CKLW across the waters of Lake Erie; walking the streets of the east side of Toledo, delivering my newspapers with my transistor blaring "Paint It Black", "Hey Jude", "Willie And The Poorboys", "Sounds Of Silence", et al . . . Years later, in high school, borrowing The Byrds' "Greatest Hits" and Bob Dylan's "Greatest Hits" only to discover that Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man" was far superior to The Byrds' version because it had THREE MORE VERSES and WOW! WHAT VERSES THEY ARE!! Fascination with Dylan's "Love Minus Zero / No Limit" because if ever there was a song that clearly illustrated that he could sing -- this was IT!! . . . Hitch-hiking to K-Mart to buy "Another Side Of Bob Dylan", and catching a ride home with a friend who shared a joint with me -- laughing my ass off listening to "I Shall Be Free No. 10" . . . Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" . . . Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, Carly Simon . . . Waking up to Martin Mull's "Dueling Tubas" one school morning and wondering where in the hell that cool genius came from and discovering John Prine in much the same fashion ("Dear Abby" from "Sweet Revenge") . . . Riding to high school my sophomore year with Dave Fischer in his Ford Galaxy (late as usual!) and hearing Loudon Wainwright III's "Dead Skunk" for the first time . . . Discovering Tom Waits in college -- Scott Hilyard would turn the lights off in his dorm room and we'd listen to Tom perform Red Sovine's "Big Joe and Phantom 309", then discovering how wonderfully this worked for so *many* songs . . . Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits . . . And then, MANY years later, while shooting a portrait of my best friend's daughters and being handed a CD called "Mortal City" by Dar Williams and another by Jonatha Brooke ("Plumb") and thinking I'd died and gone to heaven yet again . . . And there, on Dar's EP called "The Christians and The Pagans" was a song called "Nora" that I didn't realize was written by someone other than Dar for some time. Perhaps a year later, I was fortunate to find a cassette tape in the bottom of a box of tapes and CDs I inherited when I took my volunteer position with a local folk club -- Richard's "Sparrows Point"! Hearing the voices of Lucy Kaplansky, John Gorka, Jennifer Kimball, Kate Rusby, Eddi Reader for the first time . . . The magic in the songs of Dave Carter . . . The honesty in the lyrics of Lori McKenna . . . In constant sigh mode . . .

I bought myself a Christmas present, tickets to Richard's Long Island show in May! I managed to get front row seats (although right of the stage)! I know it's not til May, but I wanted to get my tickets early. I will be doing my part to "advertise" this one and hopefully it will be sold out! I heard on WUSB 90.1 in Stony Brook, the dj mentioned it on his show, he also plays alot of Richard, Dar, Cry3. I think it'll be a great turn out! Can't wait for "Spring" Janet Yahoo!
