One of the saddest moments of my life was when my parents decided to sell the house I grew up in and move to Floriduh (sorry, it really is dull to me). Two things in particular got me. First, I grew up in a room with real wood paneling. Not the pressed HomoDepot shit they sell now, but grainy real stuff. I spent a good deal of my insomniac childhood seeing figures and faces and animals and imaginary figures in the grains. The real estate person told my mom to paint it white because "no one wants paneling." So she did. And I refused to go into my room after that, even when I had to go home to get the rest of my things. I slept on the living room floor. The second is related to this: my parents were rather upset at my attitude. My mom said to me, "Well we put so much work into the house, it is very sad for us to be moving after 25 years here." And I replied, "Sure, it's your home, but *my* childhood. I hope you get at least 20 pieces of silver for it." Not my proudest moment, I realise, but Richard is right: a home becomes a part of you and NO ONE wants to see a part of themselves tampered with by someone who is (albeit legally) tresspassing. I eventually apologized to my parents but part of me still feels EXACTLY what I said. Wisteria, indeed. In any case, this is a poem I wrote about the paneling in that room. There was a nighttable lamp I used to remove the shade from in order to get more light. After a few years of this, it had burned a black mark deep into the paneling. And thinking about it later, I wrote this: A Certain Hunger The light is eating the bedroom wall: paneling flakes like skin, dead skin-- my thumb could rub clean through! At first I thought the wall would make it. It *was* wood and looked solid enough, but it didn't have a chance. The light was hot with righteousness: it ate, its fat white mouth slowly savoring its food. The moon disappears, pane by pane, and your own death is never a metaphor. Don't worry though Jim. The intensity of those feelings will pass. I am sure I will be able to drive by my childhood home...oh in about another ten years or so. Best to you-- Tom ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 05:45:04 EST From: HEYJC01@aol.com Subject: Re: [RS] wisteria Your are not alone. The song also takes me back to when my father passed away from cancer. The memory of returning to his home years later, which was also his birthplace, still evokes much emotion. We did go in....it was a very emotional moment. Gee, Richard sure can deliver.

I remember the first time i heard a Dougie maclean song, it was early or mid eighties, i was driving back to johnstown from pittsburgh and listening to either the folk show on WYEP or thistle and shamrock on the public radio station from pittsburgh. It was ready for the storm. I pulled the car off the side of rt. 22 to hear the whole song because I was almost out of range, and just sat there with traffic whizzing by a few feet away until i heard them say what artist it was. Ah, he smiles at the memory of the joy of discovering a new artist for the first time! jpc in sc pa ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 12:57:43 -0500 From: jcolb Subject: [RS] dave and tracy for ten bucks For those of you who aren't yet, but aspire to be Carter and Grammer fans, Signature Sounds (which, as you know also carries Richard stuff) has a special on the Tanglewood Tree disc- $10.

I just bought tickets >today! Who else is going? I bought my tickets this afternoon{friday} and was told that a second show at 9;30 had just been added. I was really surprised that the first one had not sold out yet but I imagine that it soon will. I recently saw Richard at the University of Hartford and that one sold out very quickly, something like 3 weeks before the actual show. I suppose it depends on the area and the fact that he often plays the Iron Horse but rarely plays in Connecticut. Take Care, Robin{who is very disappointed that the Rani Arbo show in Hartford has been cancelled tonight} _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 19:28:07 From: "Robin Oprysko" Subject: Re: [RS] wisteria Jeff and Jim, I can completely relate to not only Wisteria but to your experiences as well. My mom died on Feb 25th and my brother and I are faced with the sad task of cleaning out the house where we grew up and putting it on the market. As I walked around the yard where we used to play, I wondered how the new owners would change things and the phrase "How could they just cut it down and leave not a trace?" echoed through my head. That songs brings me a lot of comfort as did "Shades of Black, Shades of Blue" while she was slipping away from us.I thank the powers that be, that there is such good music to get us through these times.

He played a great little college theater that sat about 200. It was perfect as the audience was very close. I was blown away. Not only by all this great music that I had been missing, but by the audience all knowing the words and singing along! In a really neat twist, it happened to be Dougie's last stop before going back home for a while and Kathy Mattea was in the audience. She joined him on stage for a final song. But the night was certainly not about that. It was a fantastic Dougie night. Been to see him live once since and will go again when he comes back this way. brian. - ----- Original Message ----- From: jcolb To: Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 8:33 AM Subject: [RS] a bit o' doogie > > Ed, > > What Dougie MacLean song?
