The doors opened at 7:30 and the room filled almost immediately. I'm not good at estimating crowds, but it was several hundred people at least, with a long line of people waiting to get in who never did. The show opened just after 8:00 with the Harlem Blues Band. The drummer will turn 93 next month and he awed the college student-stage hands waiting by the side of the stage. In fact, he awed just about everyone. They were great. The NCC Vocal Ensemble did one song and were good, and the NCC poets group were...well...let's just say not my taste. Lucy Kaplanski came on about 9:15 and did a great set. She opened with Back of His Hand, followed by Ten Year Night and I Had Something. She gushed about her 15-month old daughter Molly (which, as Lucy said, she is allowed to do because she is her mother!) then sang This is Home, Don't Mind Me, Brooklyn Train, and By Way of Sorrow (with Richard on harmony) followed. Spirit Wing, the Native American group, was lively but disappointing. Then more poets.... Richard finally came on at at 11:05. He opened with There Goes Mavis, followed by Hazel's House. This song is much more sentimental and autobiographical than we usually hear from Richard. It talks about a family gathering on New Year's Day - the men slipping out to watch the Rose Bowl and women in the kitchen - and how no one seems to know that this will become a memory. Violinist Joyce Anderson, who Richard said he had just met while waiting to go on stage, joined him for the remainder of his set and really added to his songs - even though she had never heard most of them. The rest of his set: Big Muddy, Fenario, Che Guevara T-Shirt (I was the only one who applauded when he announced the song and apparently he thought I was applauding the t-shirt, not the song. Oh well.), Last Fare of the Day, and Graham Parson's Sin City ("This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house..."), for which Joyce also did vocals. Are You Happy Now closed the set. The show finally ended at midnight. A long night to sit through, but great to see Richard and Lucy so well received. There seemed to be many people who already knew their music, but I think most were hearing them for the first time. Can't wait to see them in Peekskill on Saturday. (It is on Saturday, right Gene?) Isabel (who can never remember what day it is, much less what time) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get tax tips, tools and access to IRS forms  all in one place at MSN Money! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 14:37:47 -0600 From: "kunigunda" Subject: [RS] Re: RS on WFUV I too forgot tho I was plopped in front of my pc all morning. My sticky note had fallen off my monitor. Does anyone know if there is a way to hear this after the fact? Do they replay interviews? I checked archives and it's not there. Is it to soon to appear there or don't they archive all the interviews? Yes, I'm whining....

Carrie in KC <<< "Will the recent Richard Shindell show be archived??" Hello Pam -- Gosh I hope so. He's just fabulous. We rebroadcast a recent interview every Monday night at 8pm, and those programs automatically get added to the archives. There are more interviews than Mondays, though, so for some of the 'popular demand' folks we just add it up there anyway. It takes a decent amount of time and effort to do, so I'm careful with my requests. But we have been generally lamenting the Shindellessness of the WFUV Archives anyway, and wondering which interview to dig up from the past -- so I'd say that (a) this one's likely to be a Monday night 'Words and Music' special, and it'd get posted at that point (in the next couple months), and if it's not, (b) I'll see if we can get it up there anyway. The upcoming Monday nights get listed on the 'Coming Up on WFUV' page, so keep an eye on that for info, and/or do a search for Shindell now and then and see if it pops up. - -- Laura Fedele, WFUV ..................................................
