The last I saw him perform was last November, he kicked off the Kent State Folk Festival. Richard played his set and then played several songs w/ Darrell Scott, what an added treat. I asked about his finger. He said the finger has recovered, but his mind hasn't caught up with the physical. Lynn Miles performed for the Buffalo Friends of Music Club last fall, solo acoustic. She is personable, approachable, and funny. I would highly recommend checking out her tour schedule. She played guitar and also covered a few numbers on the piano.

( Please God. ) I though it was mostly just a "close call". Yes? I had a conversation recently with another folk music fan who seemed to believe otherwise - so I am reaching out here for the straight story. - ------------- It was closer than a Close Call. Richard lacerated the end of his left index finger lengthwise along the nail (thumb side), including a bit of the tip. While it has healed significantly, there are several songs that he can not play, yet??? Fenerio and Wisteria among them. He did it while chopping wood with an axe, or hatchet. When he showed me the injury, I said, "You stay here and I'LL go cut some wood". He was slightly amused. Though the finger will most likely never look as it did, I predict that Richard will make a fully functional recovery. Don't ax me how I know.

I don't think "Slightly Haunted" is in my all-time top ten, but it's pretty high up. Other than that...I certainly agree with Ron re: "Tanglewood Tree." For Hugh Blumenfeld, I'd choose "Mozart's Money" or possibly "Rocket Science" over "The Strong in Spirit." And the rest of my list is completely different: Chris Smither, "Live As I'll Ever Be" (and "Leave the Light On" and "Train Home" and...yeah, I adore Smither). Greg Greenway, "Singing for the Landlord" Eileen McGann, "Journeys" James Keelaghan, "A Recent Future" and "My Skies" Spirit of the West, "Labour Day" Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies, "Tenterhooks" Tanglefoot, "Full Throated Abandon" Herdman, Hills, and Mangsen, "Voices" and for a bonus, some of the traditional stuff: Dolores Keane and John Faulkner, "Broken Hearted I'll Wander" John Roberts and Tony Barrand, "Dark Ships in the Forest" Maddy Prior and June Tabor, "Silly Sisters" Andy Irvine and Paul Brady (self-titled) - -- Jean Rossner - -- What can you do with your days but work and hope?

But I could probably swing it if I had roommates. If anyone is interested in sharing a room, let me know! Apparently some of these rooms have beds for several. (Many folks on this list have met me over the years, and hopefully can vouch for the fact that I am a very nice and normal person.) Please contact me off-list if interested, I don't want to clog any inboxes. - --Vanessa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 16:22:52 -0800 From: Subject: [RS] Cabin Concerts. Also from Richard's newsletter. Gene, this might be your one shot to hear "The Weather." I won't be there, so I won't be able to feed him lines and chords to anything he may have forgotten. RG P.S. I was at that house concert in '95, as well as at each and every subsequent house concert Richard did at Tim and Lori's cabin until they stopped doing shows. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A few words about a special event coming up in August. Back in 1995 I played one of my first house concerts at the home of Tim & Lori Blixt, in northern Jersey.Their series, Cabin Concerts, ran for over ten years. Now the Blixts have moved on to organizing three-day events, in which they rent out an entire inn somewhere and bring along a singer for the duration - all in an unamplified setting.This coming August 19, 20, and 21, that singer will be me [Cumbersome Diamond anyone?]. I'll be joining the Blixts and about 40-45 others at an inn in southwestern Vermont called the West Mountain Inn. The rooms have been offered first to those who've participated in past Blixt events. At this point I am told there are only four rooms left, so you'll need to act quickly. Information can be found at www.cabinconcerts.com By the way, they tell me I'm not allowed to repeat any songs over the course of the weekend.Now, I know I have three nights worth of songs. The question is, will I remember them all? Only a very lucky few will be there to witness that trainwreck. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V10 #32 ***********************************
