Kerry :) NP: Beth Amsel, A Thousand Miles - Such a beautiful CD. I had this on tape for the longest time but, once I got a CD player in my car, I hardly ever listened to it. Now that I have it on CD, it's like I've rediscovered how great it is. And "St. Mark" is just about the most beautiful song ever. www.bethamsel.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 15:18:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Evan Gordon Subject: [RS] Beth Amsel Yeah, That CD is pretty amazing. I saw her open for Richard in Bethlehem this winter, would have been pretty cool to see her jump on stage and join Richard for Mary Magdelene :-) Mandatory Richard content - I'm playing an open mic tommorow night (The Point in Bryn Mawr for anyone near Philly) and I plan on playing Summer Wind/Cotton Dress as well as one of my new songs which (according to my girlfriend) sounds like Wisteria! - -Evan Kerry wrote: Beth Amsel, A Thousand Miles - Such a beautiful CD.

Evan asked: >>Nice article, except it mentioned that he and John Gorka went to Hobart, I thought they went to Moravian (in Bethlehem, PA), which is down the road from Lafayette (in Easton, PA), my alma mater. Can anyone clarify exactly where he went to school?<< Gleaned from http://www.richardshindell.com/answers3.html, although Richard neither specifically confirms nor denies the school, just that he remembers Mr. Lent: >>Richard, Did you go to Moravian College in the late 70's? You look and kind of sound like a "Rich Shindell" who roomed on my floor (2nd Rau, I think) probably in '78-79. If so, you might remember me as a Black Sabbath blasting character (my musical tastes have progressed somewhat!). Whether that was you or not, best of luck - I enjoy your music! - Bill Lent Yes, if I remember correctly, your musical tastes (at the time) used to drive John Gorka insane. But Black Sabbath (or the equivalent) is something we all have to go through. Nice to know you survived.<< ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 14:31:55 -0500 From: "David E.

"I use it to distribute my CDs, to notify people about gigs, and even to sell the records.

His new CD, SOMEWHERE >NEAR PATERSON, is absolutely >wonderful. Well, there was some guy named Richard something-or-other I saw last weekend at Falcon Ridge . . . maybe he's the one you're talking about. I only remember him because he was in a workshop with D & T, and man, I couldn't WAIT for him to finish that stupid hotel song (something about the next best Days Inn) so we could get to the REAL music. I wouldn't touch his new album - or any album of his, for that matter - with a 10-foot pole. Now, can we please end the off-topic discussion and get back to the people this list is *actually* about?

Richard credits you in the liner notes for Somewhere Near Paterson, and *this* is how you repay him?! ;-) Dave. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2000 19:25:50 EDT From: Gf212121@aol.com Subject: [RS] Limerickian Sarcasm Hey you guys, T'was a singer named Richard Shindell A discussion group 'bout him was swell Then folks started to yammer About Carter and Grammer And sent the whole thing straight to Hell.... I just think everybody who was at FRFF is annoyed that Dave 'stole' the last song at the songwriters workshop from Richard and Mary Gauthier. I'm not buying that story about dedicating the song to Richard and Mary. I am, however, buying Tanglewood Tree. Gene F.

I was listening to Joan Osborne's, Relish this morning and was surprised to see Mr.Larry Campbell played (fiddle)on it -that was my feeble RS tie-in attempt. I certainly didn't know who he was in 1995. Anyways, anyone know what is up with Joan? Will she ever release a new album? Feel free to reply off-list. Thanks in Advance.

A year ahead of Richard. I decided to go to W. V. Wesleyan instead... something about Moravian being too religious (required chapel attendance) and too close to home (NJ). Oh well.

Supposedly, a new album called "Righteous Love" is coming out on September 12th. They've been playing the title track on WXPN, I believe--it's the first single. And thank you guys, for all of the Tom Waits suggestions! I still haven't picked a winner, but I'll let you know when I do. :-) Peace, Love, and Mischief, Vanessa Elwestrand wrote: > I was listening to Joan Osborne's, Relish this morning and was > surprised to see Mr.Larry Campbell played (fiddle)on it -that > was my feeble RS tie-in attempt.
