mail. Glad to hear the Iron Horse show went great!

It is indeed a very funny and clever song. the Christine Laving
kind of funny.

that song was probably "get over it" (tentatively titled) I love that song.
Witnessed the first ever performance a couple of weeks ago, back then he
wasn't sure if it was going to be a breakup or a start new song. That
song is definitely a keeper. Did he play Speed of Trees? I love that song,
it's pretty new, too. Anybody who sees him play that live in the next few
months pleeeease tell him to put it on the new album. Maybe a collective
effort can convince him that that one is a keeper, too. :)

have a great weekend, guys,
back to our regularly scheduled program now,

Katrin

   Yeah, like does Richard get continual cravings for paella?  Must he have 
rice and beans with every meal?  Is his libation of choice now Rioja?  Can he 
get Cubans in Buenos Aires and would he be willing to smuggle some stateside 
for his ol' buddy RockinRonD?  Stay tuned.

Have never seen Richard but will some day.  Just heard him sing "Transit"on 
Mountain Stage.  Hard to pick a favorite but that's right up there.  I don't 
live but about and hour and a half from Paterson so I am very in tune with 
that kind of traffic!  First time I heard Transit I was in rush hour traffic 
on my way home from work and I stopped to buy the CD before I ever made it 
home that night.

  Yeah, I heard that show, too. As still a Richard
neophyte, having seen him only once, as part of Cry3,
I liked that he explained the older songs a bit. You
learn something new every day.

Thanks Smokey for the info. about Kevin So. I looked around for the lyrics
of the song and it is very funny.

I think he played that as well but that wasn't the song I was thinking of.

He did not play "Speed of Trees" this time but he did play it the last time
I saw him in December (the 20th anniversary of John Lennon's death). You
are right, that is a keeper.

Ellis did not play "Angel in Manhattan" but he did play "Conversation with
a Ghost", "Did Galieo Pray?" (now that's sort of Shindellian-- with the
story of the librarian and Gaileo's own book), "Last Call" (encore), "Never
Lived at All", "Paris in a Day", "The World Ain't slowing down" (with story
of the stolen cell phone), among others.

Poor Richard, he's been in the shadow of Ellis Paul this weekend on his own
list.

The new song...."Ballad of Chris McCandless"?  "Independence Day"?
"Eighteen"?  Any of those ring a bell? :-)

And Katrin, the only reason I beat you to the answer is because I took
advantage of the time difference and struck while you were sound asleep. :-)
