I just saw her saturday, and she put on a hell of a show. I've seen her 3 times this year, but this was the first time that the show was her own (I saw her 1st with Gorka, Wheeler and Eberhardt, and then I saw her at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival for a mere 3 songs). She was a lot more talkative than I expected, and quite humorous. Regarding her recent national tv exposure: she said that she was told after-the-fact about her song (I think it was Guilty as Sin) being on Ed. She completely missed it. Sorry for the lack of Richard content. Oh wait - she did tell us that she saw him in La Guardia and didn't recognize him with a beard. I hope to have more to say about Richard after April 16th, when I'll see him at the Ark.

I totally, like, dig Twisted Sister. Your heinous comments here are like a total buzzkill, man. Not! I was wondering what the Boyer post was that seems to be the talk of the town. Maybe it was not on the digest, or more probably, I just missed it. Laura P.S. Apropos of nothing but a subject discussed last week, I thought of two covers that I think are better than the original: Aretha singing Border Song and Oleta Adams singing Come Down in Time. Both are awesome sung by Elton J, but there's something about these cover versions that gives me goosebumps.

It is a restaurant that many great singer-songwriters have played. His show has an opening act of Jeffrey Foucault. Foucault is one of my new obsessions. At around my age(I am 22 and he is no older than 24), he has released an amazing solo debut album. He had his first east coast tour last winter and I got to see him open for Bill Morrissey. He has played with Morrissey, soon RS, Greg Brown, and Peter Mulvey already. Sorry about the unabashed promotion but I think people here would very much like his music and he is opening for RS. This spawns a question. What have been memorable opening acts to play before RS? I've seen many good performers open up for him. The best being Erin McKeown in New Hampshire. I know Dar Williams has been promoting her music for a few years. She put on an amazing 20 minute set. I have seen Jess Klien open twice for him. She isn't my favorite though I do love that song "Little White Dove". The last show I saw a woman named Deb Talan opened up and she was good. - -Adam ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 22:08:36 +0100 From: Katrin.Uhl@t-online.de (Katrin Uhl) Subject: RE: [RS] Jeffrey Foucault plug Ah... two of my favorites, Jeffrey Foucault and Erin McKeown mentioned in the same email. way to go, Adam! And may I add - I came across those two brilliant songwriters and musicians because of Peter Mulvey: Jeffrey, because Peter (and Kerry) was raving about him and Erin because she opened for Peter.

No need to mention how long it's been since I've seen Richard play live - I know I mentioned that about a zillion times here. but I've never seen Jeffrey live and I bet he's plain amazing. Please send a review, Adam! Katrin _____ And I still need the beauty of words sung and spoken Dar Williams ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 19:55:46 -0800 From: "Sandra J. Smith" Subject: [RS] Spring EP Does anyone know whether this is still available? Richard's website says it's available from Signature Sounds, but when you click on the link it brings up a list of other RS recordings that are available from SS. Spring isn't listed. I sent SS an e-mail last week, and followed up with a voice mail, asking if they still carry this, but they haven't responded. If it's out of print (as it appears to be) does anyone know of a good website for used CDs I could check?

When you've been a long time member of an on-line community, like a mailing list, it's hard to remember there are others who are relatively new. 2. When you join an on-line community, like a mailing list, it's hard to tell who is who. 3. My mad-lib post was an expression of humor, in my own style. Some folks think I'm funny. Some don't. As it should be. 4. During the 60s and 70s, Joan Baez' words and actions were instrumental in helping me understand and focus my horror at the war in Viet Nam and the officials who were professing its righteousness. She also sang like a living angel. 5. Since then I've found most of her interpretations and arrangements of other people's songs to be anywhere along the scale from boring to eviscerating. There's no accounting for taste, hers or mine. Or yours. 6. To those who posted in my defense - thanks, that felt really nice. 7. To those who called me out - thanks for speaking your minds. It's nice to know I'm part of a dynamic group. 8. I am truly shocked...SHOCKED...that the person who told Jessica about my Britney Spears poster collection neglected to tell her that I'm her father. 9. I helped Woody Guthrie write "The Great Historical Bum": http://listproc.ucdavis.edu/archives/banjo-l/log9909/1465.html 10. How about we do "Waiting For A Storm" as the next SOTW? - -Howie - -- Howie Lyhte howie@pobox.com _________________________________________________________________________ "One person's sacred cow is another person's cheeseburger."
