As for one song by RS. Geez. I am not the type that has 10 Desert Island Disks--I have ten Desert Island Box Sets (with a few extra disks hidden in the packaging). Ok, how about four for now, one from each studio album: Confessions The Next Best Western Fishing The Courier OK, ok, well at least I don't cheat at cards. Hope all is well with everyone.

Vanessa asked: "if you were doomed to hear just one song over and over for the rest of your life, _and_ it had to be a song by RS, which one would you pick?" My choice would be close tie between "Shades of Gray" or "Things That I Have Seen." But what if you could only listen to one (or two) of his covers? Which would THAT (or those) be? I'd pick "Cold Missouri Waters" or (Simon and Garfunkle's) "America." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 08:36:35 EDT From: RockinRonD@aol.com Subject: [RS] Have you Heard? Congrats Vanessa Wills the Princeton Graduate. Doesn't that sound swell? Way to go kiddo. We're all proud of ya! Hope to see you soon at a concert, if not Falcon Ridge. You should come to my house for Louise Taylor this Saturday night in fact! Here's an alert to all you RS fans out there: Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer will play FOR FREE at the Harry Chapin Stage in Hecksher Park in Huntington, Long Island on Saturday evening, July 13th 8PM. Opening is Kathy Kreger, a terific local singer/songwriter with a great bluesy style who has opened for some great talents, including Lucika. Bring a blanket or beach chairs, some wine and cheese and have a picnic. Choosing an RS song to hear over and over...for me it would have to be Reunion Hill (the newest live version) or On A Sea Of Fleur de Lis. Let's get this List pumping again. Somebody spread a rumor.

It was the first song of RS I ever heard and still am fond of. Other ones I'd considered would be "You Again", "Sparrow's Wing", "Blue Divide", "I Saw My Youth Today", "Wisteria" and "Transit". I just returned from a 2 week vacation on the west coast. Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. I know there are some west coast members here and I love your part of the country. :-) - -Adam - -----Original Message----- From: SELogan@uss.com To: shindell-list@smoe.org Sent: 6/18/02 7:50 AM Subject: Re: [RS] err...

Good question and good jumpstart to a very quiet list. -Laura ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 13:06:20 -0400 From: "Plunkett, Adam" Subject: RE: [RS] Re: shindell-list-digest V4 #174 Here at work I was just listening to my Falcon Ridge live CD and I had forgotten how great his version of "Paddy's Green Shores" is. So, if I had to pick a RS cover for that island, it would be Paddy.

Hey Vanessa, that was a really good question! So far 12 people have posted in two days. So, in an attempt to keep this list interesting, I'll throw one into the mix. If you had to choose one RS song that would most likely convert an antifolk type and addict him or her totally to RS music, which would it be? I would choose "The Next Best Western." It, for some reason, seems to be the quintessential RS song and was in my head for weeks after I heard it the first time. Leigh :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 17:17:50 EDT From: Pfleary@aol.com Subject: [RS] only one? Congratulations Vanessa. You not only have graduated form one of the finer schools in the land, you've managed to breathe life back into this list! Watch out world, here she comes! ;-) I would have to pick the live version of Fleur de Lis. Hope to see you at FRFF. Peter (who is very excited to hear that Richard will be playing in Sebastopol again this summer)! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 16:54:41 -0500 From: Subject: [RS] My island song Hey guys,=20 It's been a while since I've posted too. My desert island song would = be "The Next Best Western". It has the classic elements of a RS song. = Now let's go one step further, how about a desert island RS cover? Mine = would be "Calling The Moon". Back to lurking, Brendan =20 P.S. Anyone seen or going to see Jethro Tull this summer? I'm going = Saturday. JT is my number two fave after RS. __________________________________________________________________ Brian=20 ICQ#: 159746938 Current ICQ status: =20 + More ways to contact me=20 __________________________________________________________________ [demime 0.97c removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of online?icq=159746938&img=21] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 21:45:54 -0400 From: Howie Subject: [RS] NEWS: Robert Plant covers... ...Darkness Darkness, and actually does a good job of it, in a Led Zep sort of interpretation. My fave is still Jesse Colin Young's, but Richard's is a very close second (in many ways). During last week's Dar chat I learned not to ask, "Is anyone going to see Richard in Shirley on July 12?", but rather, "Is anyone going to see Richard Shindell play in Shirley, Mass on July 12?" He'll be at the Bull Run on that Friday night, and down in New Bedford on Saturday. - -Howie - -- ________________________________________________________________________ Life is not orderly.

Rachael Davis will be opening for Richard for this show at Bull Run. She'll also be showcasing at Falcon Ridge a couple of weeks afterwards, at Newport on August 3 and at the Boston Folk Festival in September. Oh . . . she'll also be at RockinRon's Red Cedar Soundstage House Concert on Sunday, July 21.

In reply to Leighs new twist on the discussion, I'd have to choose "Confession". That's the one that swayed my brother, a strong anti-folk sort, right onto the bandwagon.
