I'd like to hear this if anyone ever has the chance to put it on a disc for me. (I would not ask were it in print.) Drop me a line off list. I might have something I could trade for it. What was the deal behind this disc, anway? I don't know the history of it.

C3 C3 fans might have noticed Art Garfunkel's latest disc, Everything waits to be noticed, features Buddy Mondlock (and Maia Sharp) and includes the cut The Kid. I was not that impressed with their take on it. Album is pleasant enough overall; it included Art's first self-penned songs. The title track is actually quite nice... it would have been a nice C3 cut. I don't think Art is the songwriter that Simon was- but then I don't Simon is the songwriter that Simon was, either, if that makes sense! The disc does have some very nice harmony throughout, as you'd expect. (To me, the David Wilcox version of The Kid remains the definitive version. But then what do I know, I prefer Richard's take on Calling the Moon... he he he) Jim Colbert somewhere near, hmm, hypothermia after being outside at lunch ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 13:03:27 -0500 From: "Shelley DePaul" Subject: Re: [RS] Irish or traditional, you say > Shelley (who might join me in hoping for a Godfrey Daniels date) Yes. That would be great. I was sorry to have missed you guys last time. The bummer was, I was just a few blocks away doing a student rehearsal thing. I was hoping to catch part of the show at least, but it ran late and when I passed back through all was dark. I'd really like to hear Richard's new songs. Maybe I'll catch him at one of his shows near Philly. I've been going down that way a lot lately since my son is attending Temple. Maybe the Media Theater. (What's it like? Anyone know? Never been there.) Or possibly the Huntington show. I have some friends from Long Island who have promised to take me graveyard hopping (My paternal ancestors all hail from Long Island as far back as 1683, and I've been wanting to find them for a long time) They've (friends - not relatives :) ) never seen Richard and have been wanting too so that's a possibility, although I should probably get my butt in gear since that one seems to sell out quickly. If not I suppose it will be Falcon Ridge. I usually make that one, though I pay dearly since it always falls on my little girl's birthday (July 27th) and I have to bribe her BIG TIME to celebrate another day. O.K. off to work.

Jim, variously: > I don't think > Art is the songwriter that Simon was- but then I don't Simon is the > songwriter that Simon was, either, if that makes sense! Makes perfect sense! Along the same lines, Simon may not be the songwriter that Simon was, but Art will never be the songwriter that Simon is, was, or will be! And: > PS- Now here's one for ya, though.

I've never heard the word pronounced *properly* with a sibilant outside references to sports. But, hold on a second ... basketball teams? Glasgow Celtic football team predates the Boston Celtics by 58 years!

Why, it even has some Old Testament religion - Noah and the flood. That's why there are no more Unicorns. They wouldn't listen to ol' Noah. Unicorn angst.
