I think I am almost finished running around the trees and rolling around in the grass after reading that Richard & Lucy are making a pit stop in Eugene in May !! Pam - ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard W. Samsel To: Dave-and-Tracy@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 1:03 PM Subject: [Dave-and-Tracy] Madison and Chicago I saw Richard and Tracy in Madison at Luther's Blues on Friday night and Chicago at Martyr's on Saturday night. Both were small clubs. This was the first time I'd seen Tracy perform since Dave's passing; she was confident and able, and gave a wonderful performance. This is the first time I've seen Richard since he lost his beard. He was likewise in excellent form; he clearly seemed to be enjoying himself. Both nights were spectacular. I didn't write anything down at either show, so anything I have is from memory. Tracy did an opening set, and Richard joined in for a couple of songs in Tracy's set. Conversely, Tracy joined in for a few of Richard's songs. In addition to Richard and Tracy, there was a base guitar player (Byron Isaacs on a fretless electric base guitar) who joined in about 2/3 of the songs in both sets, and as well as on harmony vocals. He did a wonderful job on all the songs he played on. Tracy played her CFox guitar for most of her songs, but switched to the mandolin or violin on a couple, mostly when Richard was on Guitar. Richard played a Martin D15 acoustic exclusively. Tracy's set was pretty much the same both nights. All her songs were Dave Carter songs, and she told the stories behind the songs. I'm sure I've forgotten at least one new song's name, and don't remember the exact order except as noted. Tracy's set Gunmetal Eyes (opening; performed solo) Gentle Arms of Eden [Hey Ho] (a new song, not yet named, about war, war toys, and child labor) The Power and the Glory The Mountain (a Sumerian conclusion with Richard and Byron a capella) Ordinary Town Gentle Soldier of my Soul (closing) Richard's set varied a bit between days. He played at least 3 new songs, but I'm only remembering the names of two (Grey-green, a song about lulling his child to sleep in noisy Buenos Aries, and Che Guevara T-Shirt, a stunning song that you all should hear without reading my comments). Richard's set Wisteria (Saturday opening) Sparrow's point (Friday opening) Reunion Hill (both shows) Arrowhead (both shows) The Next Best Western (with Tracy, both shows) Grey-Green (both shows) A Che Guevara T-shirt (both shows) Are you Happy Now? (?both shows) Fishing (both nights) Sonora's Death Row (both shows) Transit (Closing both shows) They did one great encore (both shows): Farewell to St Deloris (Dave Carter) Richard on lead vocals and Tracy on mandoline and harmony vocals Yahoo!

OK, I've got that out of my system. So, are any listers planning to make it out to the Club Cafe on Sunday 16th?
