(Carol says in a very needy tone of voice) What about TV Light?? It's a straight up love song for old timers -- no angst anywhere in sight. And it probably has the best slow dance beat of the lot. ..Carol ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 11:40:45 -0400 From: Michael Larkin Subject: [RS] RS at The Narrows 3/2709 Richard was in fine form at his show last night at the Narrows Center in Fall River, MA. As usual, his witty repartee between numbers added to the enjoyment. The Narrows is a great place to hear music, both intimate and acoustically wonderful, and it's a fine venue for Richard. I hadn't pre-ordered "Not Far Now", but picked up a copy at the show and it's great- I really like Richard's take on Dave Carter's "The Mountain". Opening the show was a bluesy singer-songwriter from MA named Danielle Miraglia. I had never heard Danielle before, but if she's in your neighborhood I suggest you check her out- she's amazing. Here's the setlist: The Island Acadian Driftwood Blue Northen Light (Glenn Patscha) Get Up Clara* Wayfaring Stranger Reunion Hill Deep Muddy Baloon Man* Sittin' on Top of the World Are You Happy Now? Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen) Whippoorwill State of the Union* Last Fare of the Day Transit ENCORE: There Goes Mavis Parasol Ants* Mary Magdelene *from Not Far Now ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:49:44 +0000 From: Subject: Re: [RS] RS at The Narrows 3/2709 I would have thought there would be a few more from the new cd. carrie in kc > Here's the setlist: > > The Island > > Acadian Driftwood > > Blue Northen Light (Glenn Patscha) > > Get Up Clara* > > Wayfaring Stranger > > Reunion Hill > > Deep Muddy > > Baloon Man* > > Sittin' on Top of the World > > Are You Happy Now? > > Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen) > > Whippoorwill > > State of the Union* > > Last Fare of the Day > > Transit > > > ENCORE: > > There Goes Mavis > > Parasol Ants* > > Mary Magdelene > > > *from Not Far Now ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:47:48 +0000 From: Subject: Re: [RS] Just for fun I like to do the jig to "Are You Happy Now" carrie in kc > >> List your top five Shindell songs that would make good dance tunes, with a bit of remixing. << > > Hmm, let's see . . .

(spring break is soon!) After poring over the song myself with my various dictionaries (at one time fairly proficient in Spanish) I went to this website and read this translation: (wow..when I pasted it, it put Espanol and English side by side.) I had a few different ideas from yours and this one too, but this one is pretty accurate...translations don't always go literally back and forth...and the beauty of the poems are sometimes lost. I don't know why they omit translating pongo (I put) and I suppose the palomas are really pigeons since they're in the park, but I like the other imagery of palomas as doves in the park. The pigeons or doves no longer speak to him at the end, or they don't speak to him anymore...and the moon isn't a true or real companion, and al cabo is more like in the end than finally with it turning into his sister -- see how words are so close and yet a little bit different?) Well, I don't know if this is interesting or not to you all, but it is to me so I'm adding it to the conversation. Are You Happy Now? seems like a dance tune to me. And does Gethsemani Good-bye remind anyone else of Mavis? What now? (Or Where I found it) ( Silvio Rodrmguez ) (Silvio Rodriguez) Dsnde pongo lo hallado Where I found it en las calles, los libros, las noche, in the streets, books, night los rostros en que te he buscado. the faces that you've searched. Dsnde pongo lo hallado Where I found it en la tierra, en tu nombre, en la Biblia, on earth in your name in the Bible, en el dma que al fin te he encontrado. on the day I found you at last. Qui le digo a la muerte tantas veces llamada What I say to death many times called a mi lado que al cabo se ha vuelto mi hermana. next to me that after it has become my sister. Qui le digo a la gloria vacma de estar solo What I say to the empty glory of being alone haciindome el triste, haciindome el lobo. making me sad, making the wolf. Qui le digo a los perros que se iban conmigo What I tell the dogs that were with me iban en noches pirdidas de estar sin amigos. nights in losses to be without friends. Qui le digo a la luna que crem compaqera I say what I thought the moon companion de noches y noches sin ser verdadera. Nights and nights without being true. Qui hago ahora contigo. What do I do now with you. Las palomas que van a dormir a los parques Pigeons that go to sleep in parks ya no hablan conmigo. no longer speak with me. Qui hago ahora contigo. What do I do now with you. Ahora que eres la luna, los perros, Now that you're the moon, dogs, las noches, todos los amigos. night, all friends.

RG, who was there as well. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2009 05:03:18 GMT From: "Deana" Subject: [RS] dogs One more thing about Que Hago Ahora...the line about the dogs that used to go with me...reminded me of Victor Villasenor's stories in Walking Stars and the story of the death of his brother and his brother's dog Shep, and the belief that animals and especially dogs will intercept our souls on our way out. They can more easily leave their bodies and journey with us in death. I don't know if Rodriguez is talking about that with the dogs, but it makes me think of it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0385316542/ref=sib_fs_top?ie=UTF8&p=S00J&checkSum=n14%2FGER1n%2BpqruuBHf2xPwqjwZr6Su0Zz1XaTFoQ52w%3D#reader-link Deana "Men travel faster now, but I do not know if they go to better things."
