I was lucky enough to hear John sing "Prom Night in Pigtown" in Newport a couple of weeks ago. And you are right...having Richard cover "Love is Our Cross to Bear" would be wonderful! That's one of my favorite Gorka songs. :-) SMOKEY Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumble you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degrees...

So, I've been raving about this Sarah Harmer chick for a couple of months now (www.sarahharmer.com) and there are probably at least a few of you who haven't rushed out and bought her incredible CD, "You Were Here". (Just a few, though, right? ;) Well, now you can hear her on the radio (and on the web) this weekend. DNTO, the fabulous CBC radio program I've also gushed about before, will be reviewing her CD this Saturday, May 20. The segment will be on between 2pm & 3pm EST and you can hear it at: http://www.radio.cbc.ca Click on "Live Audio" in the top right of the page, and then listen to Radio One in Toronto or Montreal. As I've said in the past, the great thing about the CBC website is that it has a whole bunch of stations to choose from, so if you want to hear it earlier, you can tune into one of the eastern streams (Saint John or Halifax, for instance) at 2pm Atlantic time (that's one hour ahead of Eastern) or, if you miss it at 2pm EST, you can tune into one of the western streams and hear it later. Quite handy. For the heck of it, I'll post the complete schedule of the show - there's a lot of other great stuff this week, too. Kerry :) ========================================= From: Nora Young Subject: [cbc-dnto] may 20th on dnto Hi, there. Here's a look ahead: 1-2pm. *In the wake of the "I Love You" virus, technology columnist Tod Maffin explains how to avoid viruses, and what to do about them if you're sent one. *Scientology's been in the pop culture news a fair bit, with the release of "Battlefield Earth", and Scientology in Canada is likely to be in the news again when the Federal Court makes its decision on Scientology's status as a religion. John Stackhouse is a professor of Theology and Culture. He looks at ways of defining 'religion' in a pluralistic society. *Many musicians have loyal fan bases, but Bob Dylan seems to be able to attract 'superfans' with an unswerving commitment to his music, and what his persona represents. Nick Purdon tries to discover what it is about Dylan that inspires this allegiance. *Katherine Monk is back from vacation. She joins Don Irvine to review the new Woody Allen movie, "Small Time Crooks" and "Not One Less", the latest from the filmaker who made "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Shanghai Triad". Katherine was off the show for several weeks because she was in China; we'll also get her observations about pop culture there. 2-3pm. *Seminal British group XTC have a new, beautiful album out. Frontman Andy Patridge reveals his pop culture obsessions (and his thoughts about record labels!) in our Pop Culture Collage. *On this week's edition of Pop Can, your guide to Canadian pop culture trivia, Walter Rinaldi, looks at Canadian Art Rock. *Music reviewers Suzanne Matczuk and Bartley Kives have two intriguing Canadian indie discs: Kingston Ontario's Sarah Harmer, from the band Weeping Tile, has a new solo album highlighting her lovely voice. Bart and Suze review that and the dreamy, moody rootsy country of Vancouver's Radiogram. *Nancy Payne looks at the crazy lengths (and prices!) companies will go to in marketing baby products. 3-4pm. *Book reviewer Ron Robinson has a promising new first novel by Canadian author Jeffrey Moore. *Want a t-shirt? Well you could stand to win one just by entering our One Thing in Common contest. *It's Spring, and time to make the big wardrobe change. We take a multifaceted look at fashion this hour: Anna Lazowski looks at the nutty heights platform shoes are going to; we've got the story on why Casual Fridays are giving lots of workers and managers the dressing blues; and I'm joined by fashion journalists Ceri Marsh and Sarah Reeder to get the scoop on the big business stories in fashion. As well, (natch) we'll see what the hot looks are in fashion this summer. 4-5pm. Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham were the songwriters behind some of the greatest classics of southern soul. Together and separately, they wrote hits such as "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" "The Dark End of the Street" "Sweet Inspiration" "I'm Your Puppet" and "You Left the Water Running". We recorded them live in a charming show at the Frostbite Music Festival in Whitehorse. I'll be joined before the concert by Rob Bowman, DNTO's music historian, for a look at what defined that southern soul sound, and to explain Penn and Oldham's place in it. *****Just a reminder. We're still looking for entries in our Guilty Pleasures contest. This July, we're hoping to air your picks for joyfully guilty songs or movies that you enjoy. Just tell us what your pick is and why. If we use your entry on the air, you'll win a t-shirt. You can email me back your response, but we'd really like to hear your response on the air, so you can call our Guilty Pleasures hotline 1-204-788-3192. Thanks for tuning in, and thanks for your help! Nora. =================================================== Kerry Bernard kerry@younghunter.com Young/Hunter Management 781.643.2773 (ph) Arlington, MA 781.643.0416 (fax) =================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 11:22:18 -0400 From: Kerry Bernard Subject: [RS] p.s. For those influenced by the company someone keeps, Ms. Harmer just finished a west coast tour with Great Big Sea and, next month, will be opening a huge Indigo Girls concert at the Molson Amphitheatre Toronto. -KB :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 17:14:10 -0400 From: traylor@juno.com Subject: [RS] Re: Richard in Grand Rapids/Kevin "Blackie" Farrell Patrick Power, in his review of Richard in GR (thank you!), said: >The most interesting aspect of the show for me was, given Richard's >rather interesting religious allusions, wondering whether or not anybody >clued Richard in as to the type of town Grand Rapids is prior the show >(not that I would expect that it would make much difference to him, of >course). It's a very wealthy Republican-thick city, with a very strong >religious right. Having grown up in Grand Rapids, Michigan (or GR as it is affectionately known) I wondered about this myself. It *is* very religiously conservative - the town used to be almost solely Polish Catholics and Dutch Reformed. (A side note here, the Dutch came to this country and set up in Holland, MI -home of the tulip festival- and GR not to flee from oppressive conservative religious views but to flee from those who were trying to relax the strict beliefs in Holland.) However I would not consider it to be "very wealthy". True, Amway (actually based outside of GR) has bought up quite a bit of the downtown area and East Grand Rapids is pretty wealthy. However most of the residents of GR proper are lower middle class blue collar workers. For instance most of my classmates in high school were kids of factory workers and thought I was quite snotty just because I was the daughter of a college professor. Also much of the surrounding area (although it is changing) is farmland. Not the wealthiest trade these days. As long as I'm rambling about the ol' home town Grand Rapids does have a surprising amount of culture - plays, symphonies, museums, an Arts Festival, several Calders (see Dar Williams song "Mark Rothko"). ____ On a totally different subject, someone (maybe Pat) posted: >Richard's first words were "After all that >I'm going to start with a song by someone else." > Sonora's Death Row > >My god, this song has such a lovely melody. Richard remarked how the >author (Kevin "Blackie" Farrell) had a great name for a songwriter, then Maybe we could come up with a name like that for Richard. How about Richard "Are You Happy Now" Shindell? Ricard "Peterbilt" Shindell? ;-) Maybe someone else better try. Becky, who isn't very wealthy, Republican-thick, or religious right but never seems to post anymore. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
