(I have the FFRF CD playing now so I can hear Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore). Anyway, I have decided to make the trip to Michigan in September to see him hopfully both in East Lansing and Battle Creek. I am going to call for info on tix for Battle Creek, but the website for the Ten Pound Fiddle says they don't do advance tix for all shows and if they do it is only 2 weeks ahead and they are only available locally. Can someone confirm this and if it is true is there someone out there who lives in Michigan who would buy me a ticket if I send the $$$?

Hey everyone-- If you go to this link: http://www.mmreview.com/Gallery/Falcon/cornered.jpg Then you will see me waiting in line to talk to Richard after the songwriting workshop at Falcon Ridge on Sunday morning. It's a profile shot - - I'm the one in the pink shorts with the white visor. I think I'm actually talking to him in this photo. Thanks, Mike, for posting these! I have this little grin on my face because I said hi to Richard and he said "Hi!" and he gave me a little kiss on the cheek!!! I was giddy as a teenager. I went later to his signing, but I *HAD* to go see him right after that workshop because it was just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO great. I really enjoyed his mainstage set on Saturday, but there was something about this workshop that was just MAGIC. Richard and his guitar - that VOICE! Like others have said, he played Transit, Fleur-de-Lis, Next Best Western, and one other one (AYHN?) during that workshop, and it really affected me in a powerful way. He is just so good. SOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I'm sorry that I didn't get to meet more Richard listers at FRFF! I was at Dar camp the whole time and I know I met some of you, but there are others that I definitely didn't. Next year we'll have to get a sign and meet up before his signing, eh?

Ay, I am feeling very jealous right now. ;-) BTW, nice to meet ya, Rob! Good luck finding info on Battle Creek, I'm sure it'll all work out, and you'll have lots of fun there. Probably, they just don't want to take credit cards or something--call them and ask if you can send a money order, that's what I did for the Bottom Line, when they said they only accepted sales in person. Alright, here's a question about Confession that's been bugging me for a little while. Now, the general accepted interpretation is that the commuters who drive into the angry old sun have been raptured. But if they were raptured, then Sister Maria and the prison choir have all been left behind, and that's bad right? Right?! Someone help--I'm not really up on my Christian apocalyptic theology. :-( My little brother, the Britney Spears freak and 'N Sync wannabe has become completely obsessed with SNP during the time that I was at Falcon Ridge. He's copied the album and listens to it constantly (I only let him copy it cuz he promised he'd buy it when he gets paid). I'm so happy! I knew his intelligence would win out in the end. :-) Peace, Love, and Mischief, Vanessa, who rode by somewhere near Paterson on her way back from Falcon Ridge np: Peter Mulvey, "The Trouble with Poets"; OK, Peter Mulvey is either a god or a devil. Either way, I want more! More! One of my colleagues at work were discussing this album, and we decided that it's basically a perfect folktronica album, just without most of the -tronica. (There is that lone electric guitar that shows up sometimes). It's got that smooth, folktronica vibe, but utilizes mostly acoustic, unplugged instruments. I don't know, it's just plain *decadent*. And no one should be allowed to have a voice that sexy. He should be required to get a license for that thing. And the poetry of his lyrics is just amazing, so edgy and witty. OK, yes, I know this is an RS-list. Sorry! ;-) - -- "Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do, and hope that the people you love will catch up with you." --Mary Gauthier, "Drag Queens in Limousines" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 19:47:52 -0400 From: "Norman A.
