It was amazing. It was my first opportunity to see RS live and to say I was blown away would be a supreme understatement. I was a little concerned that there would be too many covers and not enough "RS", but I was pleasantly surprised, Richard did many of his own songs including quite a few of my faves (Reunion Hill, Are you happy now?, Fishing, You Stay Here, etc) so I was thrilled. Richard was quite engaging and funny onstage as well, helping to make a rough couple of weeks a little easier to take. Amy Rigby opened the show and I found her quite adorable and funny. She also joined RS and Greg Anderson for the cover of Wings Of a Dove, which was very well done, indeed. The performance at Memorial Hall Theater in Shelburne was a benefit performance to raise money for the renovations of the hall. Andrew Baker who is part of the Restoration committee is an old College friend of RS....so I guess he had a little pull! Great show and I look forward to the next!

Along the lines of venues -- I hope many of you will be out to see Richard in Hightstown, NJ this Saturday. Outta Sights & Sounds is a volunteer organization that hosts concerts at the Grace Norton Rogers school in Hightstown, NJ. I have been volunteering for them since my first date with my husband - he's been volunteering for them since they started over 10 years ago. If you need any further information, check out the website or let me know and hopefully I'll see some of you there. I'll have a name tag on so feel free to say hey! http://www.outtasightsandsounds.com/ Amanda ><< What are y'all's favorite RS concert venues? >> > >Tim & Lori Blixt's cabin in Wayne, NJ.

On this subject, Richard told me a story once where he went to Parent/Teacher day at his daughter's school and while there, he brought his guitar and sang a song to the class. His daughter got extremely upset and began to cry, beseeching her father to stop. Apparently, this was a song Richard often sang to her alone at night and she didn't like the idea of sharing her father and his song with anyone else. It was THEIR song apparently. How cute is that? On the subject of a Phil Ochs movie---what a sensational idea, and Sean Penn would be the ideal person to produce, maybe even play the leading role as well as direct. Wonder if Sunny Ochs has any news of this project? That's a movie I'd see over and over. Phil left us WAY too soon. "...he freed alot of people, but it seems the good they die young. Now I just look around, and he's gone." --Dion RememberinRon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 11:26:36 EDT From: Rongrittz@aol.com Subject: Re: [RS] I Thought I Was A Child >> Richard told me a story once where he went to Parent/Teacher day at his daughter's school and while there, he brought his guitar and sang a song to the class.

One of the things I love about being on this shindell-list is all of the great stuff I'm learning from all of you Very Serious Fans. Compared to you guys, I am quite bush league. And thanks for the seems-like-unanimous vote for The Cabin as top venue; maybe I can catch RS there someday.

I'm not exactly a Very Serious Fan, but Castaway is from Shindell's first album, Sparrows Point (which also contains one of my all-time favourites [although I suspect some of the VSFs are sick of it by now], "Are You Happy Now?"). _____ Kate "Thorokano" Morris "I refuse to participate in a battle of wits against an unarmed opponent.
