Hey--sorry if this goes out twice--I sent it about an hour ago, and it
hasn't gone through, so I figure something must have been wrong with the
e-mail, and I'm just sending it again.
***********

Here goes another one of my whirlwind attempts to reply to all that's
been
happening without cloggin' everyone's inboxes with fifty annoying
one-line
e-mails. So here's one great, big, annoying e-mail.

Missing: One (sob) "Blue Divide" CD, without jewel case. (sniffle)
Signed in
thick Sharpie, "To Vanessa, Hey. Richard Shindell."

Got it autographed the first time I met him. (I've told this story
before,
went to see Cry3, scooped up all of Richard's CDs, including Cry3,
bypassed
mile-long line of angsty teens waiting to meet Dar, blathered something
incomprehensible to Richard about how glad I was to meet him, finally;
got
really weird look, somewhere between utter bemusement and utter fear. .
. )

OK, now that I'm finally beginning to not starve, I must ask the
official
RS-types on this list: are there any more Spring EPs or (gulp) 3x2 CDs
left? I
am so behind on my buying.

A big thanks to everyone who answered my questions about Mahwah. Rabid
RS-concertgoer though I am, and faithful though I try to be, it sounds
like
Mahwah might be a little too much work for me, especially since I'll
probably
still be tired from the two RS shows at the Bottom Line the night
before. Heh
heh.

through a
little facelift, thanks to ideas and support from our pal Pat Power, and
it's
a little more practical than before.>
Guys, the site looks great! Congrats! :-)

Joy's pics of the Bottom Line show are looking good. :-) Thanks for
taking
them (can't believe I didn't take a camera along!)

<<Hi All-  I am new to the list, although not new to Richard, of
course!  I
tend to be more of a lurker, but coming in on the question of -Favorite
cover
by Richard- inspired me to say hi- and jump right in with my 2 cents>>
Welcome, Tay! Hope you have as much fun on the list as I do! Hey, Tay,
something about your e-mail was unclear to me--is Richard featured on "A
Lost
World?"

Favorite cover? I think the best solo show I ever saw Richard do was at
the
Tin Angel last October. God, he was so *on* that night, it was actually
pretty
scary. I spent the whole evening jabbing my dad in the ribs and
whispering,
"Did you *hear* that?" The first encore was an unearthly rendering of
"Cold
Missouri Waters." I'm with Norman when he says that Richard "channels"
Dodge
in that song. It was like time stopped for five minutes, the audience
was a
picture of rapt attention, just a sea of wide open eyes and Richard in
this
tiny room, singing his heart out. Beautiful. Of course, all that didn't
help
me to be any *less* nervous when I asked him to autograph my t-shirt but
that's a whole other story of melancholy that I won't go into, right
now.

Katrin suggested (and Pete seconded), in regards to an Ellis Paul
starter
album:
<<Translucent Soul is a very self-reflecting album while his other three
albums are more story-telling albums. If you prefer the latter I would
suggest
his first album, Say Something. But Translucent Soul is a great first
buy as
well.>>
Well, Translucent Soul is my first taste of Ellis Paul, and it's doing
the job
on me! So I'd second Katrin and say go for that one. :-)

And finally. . . Not too long until Falcon Ridge! So excited, so
excited. :-)

OK, enough of me. Congratulations to you brave souls who made it this
far.
Adios!

Peace, Love, and Mischief,
Vanessa

np: Well, this e-mail was written at the crossroads of SP and SNP.

"Clary, John (CLRY)" <CLRY@chevron.com> asks me:

>So Tay, would you care to take a donation for a copy and postage?

If you are interested in getting the Robert Graves album, you can order it
directly from Jay  at http://www.jayansill.com/.  Tell him I said Hi!

Gaudete,
Tay

Subject: [RS] Ellis

I like Ellis'  2 oldest albums (Stories and Say Something) and Translucent
Soul. I don't see how you an go wrong with any of these!

By the way, the venue I work at (Outta Sights And Sounds) will be
celebrating it's 10th anniversary this fall, and our opener will be Ellis
with Christopher Williams and Don Conoscenti!  A cool way to begin.
If you go to our web site, you can see concerts photos of Ellis, and of
Richard, and of the Ellis Paul and Vance Gilbert action figures Steve
Gellert built as suprise for Ellis and Vance.

Gaudete,
Tay
