Is that a suggested title for the live CD?  "Me Again" would be a play on
"You Again"... talk about an inside joke ;)

I think if Charlie and Richard can include every song the list wants (some of which were never performed at the three shows!) then it's earned that title

course, then we could also call it a box set.

You know, Jeff Johnson is right about Carol Johnson's being right about 
Norman Johnson!!  I just wish Howard Johnson would tie up the swing vote....

And I'm glad these youngsters were here to witness this authentic western 
babble!!

  Well I'll be at Falcon Ridge, though I, my wife, daughter and her two friends WILL NOT be camping.  I've booked a smart little suite at the Egremont Inn not too far away with a nice shower, great food and comfortable beds.  Very civilized.  For creature comfort enthusiasts like myself, it's the only way to go.
  And I still like my live album title suggestions better than all the other suggestions I've seen here.  Now if I could only remember what the hell they were.  Sheesh!  I'm getting senile.  Oh, well...
  See you at Falcony Ridgewood!

Me yet again:

I think someone already suggested "Me again" as a title... but as I recall
"You again" isn't on this album. (big shame)

Speaking of rejected album titles--Hey Charlie, you still have "Are You
Happy Now" shirts?

Maybe in the liner notes, there could be a Lettermanesque "Top 10" of
rejected titles.

No offense to anyone here, but "Richard Shindell Live" sounds better and
better every day.

Hello all -

Yes - you can still get "Are you happy now" t-shirts via Richard's web page.  Go to www.richardshindell.com and click on Music (because that's where they are).

Which reminds me of one of the two funniest album reviews I ever read in the old music magazine called Crawdaddy (which I hope list oldtimers remember, since it's been defunct longer than people like Vanessa and Katie have even been alive).

The review was for "Stephen Stills Live," and it was three words long, and simply said:

"Coulda fooled me."

Perhaps we listers should plan to meet up at some point. Like, breakfast
Saturday morning, or something? Before the music starts, but not too, too
early? 9am next to the mainstage?

"Better a sweaty head than a dead one."

I can't even type it without cracking up--my mother's admonishment to me
to wear a baseball cap against the Ridge sun.

Hello Folks,

I have a few announcements about Music Matters. Please bear with the
crossposting of this message.

Music Matters will no longer be accepting credit card orders through our
affiliation with playhear.com

If you have ordered anything from Music Matters and not received it, please
let me know immediately in a private message.
- ----------------------------

So much for the bad news. Here is some good news. The Music Matters online
publication is finally getting up to speed. We have recently posted
interviews with Linda Gail Lewis and Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer. A
feature interview with Pierce Pettis will be online in about a week. There
are quite a few new reviews and there is a backlog of reviews to be posted
in the next few weeks.

Music Matters will have a booth at Falcon Ridge and Winter Hawk these next
two weekends. I offer the booth as a place for newslist members to leave
messages for each other.

Please stop by and say hi!

Thanks!
