Yes it is, and well worth it for what is sure to be a great show at The Ark.
Richard needs a lot of support there, the last show drew 20-30 people if I
recall correctly.  I am wondering how much Cry^3 is going to impact this
show's numbers?

Are there any listers planning on going to the Peterbporough, NH show or the
Rosendale, NY show?  I'm up in Ottawa right now, but am moving back to Halifax
at the end of April.  Since chances are slim that Richard will ever get to
Eastern Canada, I'm considering one last road (er, bus) trip before I move.

He'll also be in Flint, which is an hour (or so) closer to Toronto and in
Grand Rapids which is an hour-plus farther away.

He's supposed to make a swing through Ontario in late September (when
last he climbed Reunion Hill).

Shortly after CryCryCry performed at the Ark last year, Lucy and the
wonderful Susan McKeown played a split bill to 70 people, so it's
difficult to know what kind of impact CryCryCry might have on Richard's
show. They don't do a particularly good job of publicizing their
concerts.

Yes, I agree with you 100% and I was hoping you'd chime in on this one Pat.
I was shocked to see so few people at Richard's last "Ark" show.  I just
have to believe that there will be a lot more this time around, publicity or
not.  I saw Buddy & Julie Miller there last week and the place was nearly
full.  That surprised me as well, but maybe it shouldn't have.

I don't consider Ontario "Eastern Canada," but I guess it all depends on your
point of view. :-)

Who knows, though, I may be back in Ottawa, or some other random Ontario
city, by September.  *sigh*... The life of a co-op student.

Just out of curiousity, are there many other Canadian fans on this list?  I
first discovered Richard through Cry Cry Cry (who I found out about 'cause I
was already a big Dar fan).  I've seen him twice - Once in Newark, NJ, with
Cry^3, and also at the Ottawa Folk Fest this past summer, where he performed
with Dar and Lucy and did some solo stuff in workshops.

I wish more American folk artists would tour up this way. :-(

No.  It was the most outrageous travesty ever known to humankind, and if I
didn't worship the ground that woman walked on, I would have booed.  Loudly.

Ciao!

Buddy and Julie were part of the Ann Arbor Folk Festival (a fundraiser
for the Ark, by the way) a couple of Januarys ago, so they got the chance
to perform in front of over 4,000 people. CryCryCry did but one
performance at the Ark in front of about 400 people.

Something to think about and do about...

<< 
 It figures!:  No more free E-mail?  We knew this was
 coming!!  Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt.
 To charge a 5 cent charge on every delivered E-mail.  Please
 read the following carefully if you intend to stay online
 and continue using E-mail: The last few months have revealed
 an alarming trend in the  government of the United States
 attempting to quietly push through legislation that will
 affect your use of the Internet.
 
 Under proposed legislation the US Postal Service will be
 attempting to bill E-mail users out of "alternate postage
 fees."  Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a
 5 cent surcharge on every E-mail delivered, by billing
 Internet Service Providers at source.  The consumer would
 then be billed in turn by  the ISP.
 
 Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to
 prevent this legislation from becoming law.  The US Postal
 Service is claiming that revenue due to the proliferation of
 e-mail is costing nearly
 $230,000,000 in revenue per year.  You may have seen their
 recent ad campaign “There is nothing like a letter."  Since
 the average person receives about 10 pieces of E-mail per
 day in 1998, the cost to the typical individual would be an
 additional 50 cents per day, or over 180 dollars per year,
 above and beyond their
 regular Internet costs.  Note that this would be money paid
 directly to the US Postal Service for a service they do not
 even provide.  The whole point of the Internet is democracy
 & interference.  You are already paying an exorbitant price
 for "snail mail" because of bureaucratic efficiency.  It
 currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered
 from New York to Buffalo.
 
 If the US Postal Service is allowed to tinker with E-mail,
 it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in the  United
 States.  One Congressman, Tony Schnell (r) has even
 suggested a "twenty to forty dollar per  month surcharge on
 all Internet service" above and beyond the government's
 proposed email charges.
 
 Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the
 story, the only exception being the  Washingtonian which
 called the idea of E-mail surcharge "a useful concept who's
 time has come" (March 6th 1999 Editorial).  Don't sit by and
 watch your freedoms erode away!
 
 Send this E-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your
 friends and relatives to write to their congressman and say
 "No!" to Bill 602-P.  It will only take a few moments of
 your time, and could very well be instrumental in killing a
 bill we don't want.
