There really are a colleciton of gems. I could listen to the various shows for hours (and hours and hours) I have already listened to Richard and now are listening to Nickel Creek and will check out Dar's performance. Since there are sooo many artists listed, can people recommend a few others on the archive that they really enjoy? I look forward to hearing everyone's recommendation on other good music. - -Keith =============================================== From: adam plunkett Date: Thu Jan 27 21:07:13 2005 Subj: Woodsongs You're welcome! You're welcome! You're welcome! You can also thank the Garnet Rogers yahoo mailing list as someone there posted the link in terms of one of Garnet's shows. LOTS of great shows there. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 11:36:41 -0500 From: "R & D" Subject: [RS] DeLurking for Pittsburgh Tonight! OK... so I watch this list from the web-interface digest with some interest, but today I delurk. I'm Ralph and am happy to meet yunz. I looked in on the list and saw Pittsburgh fans who did not know Richard was in town tonight and feel bad as I discovered this a couple weeks ago. As someone who was involved with WYEP for a while starting only weeks after it went on the air in June of 74, I was so happy to see what it had become and have been terribly sad to see what it is now... in large part they turned their back on the folk singer-songwriter crowd who made the station the success it was. I think this show might have been ironed out as long ago as late November, but YEP just started talking about it a couple weeks back... seemingly after Elko ponied up a few bucks (my guess only). I tell everyone now that they are the station where the 'money' matters LOL! But that's enough of that. I am like a kid waiting to go to Kennywood today (local amusement park). John Gorka, Bruce Cockburn and Nanci Griffith are a few of not many who can do this to us, even though we ***really*** enjoy our music here (my wife Donna & I). We just cannot get enough of Richard. The first time we saw him was at the old Graffiti lounge when he was releasing Reunion Hill and was the opening act for Gorka. What a wonderful place that was to see a show! We used to sit in the pew back by the dressing room where we saw above the heads of the tables and were at eye level with the stage and sound. I had heard Richard's music a time or three, but hearing him live was just incredible. He finished up and during break the crowd got a bit restless waiting for Gorka to come out. We were getting the same until someone stood there holding the dressing room door open a few minutes and we heard the two of them in there jamming... and then we knew we were in for a treat! Gorka did his first set and then Richard joined him and just tore the roof off the place! Gorka said it was the first time they had played together in many years and we witnessed what seemed like long lost brothers reunited. We have seen John many many times, but I never saw him with that much enthusiasm and have never heard Houses in the Fields with such emotion since. We live on a little farm out in the sticks and were really just getting our first tastes of suburban sprawl and seeing my FIL worry about what was happening and the two of them brought tears to our eyes with their sincerity for what they were singing about. (I shook John's hand later and implored him to never stop singing about it.) At any rate... we left with Reunion Hill in our hands and have only missed Richard once... wouldn't you know it... it was with Cry Cry Cry. The forecast that night was horrible and we were apprehensive about driving that far and I told the Mrs. 'there's no way they stick to this only one tour idea with this thing.' OOOPS! Ah well... \ Anyhowz... the last time we saw him was at Club Cafe with Tracy, and while we were very happy with them, we swore off ever going back to that club... horrible place to see a show... although we're testing on that vow since Cheryl Wheeler is going to be there in a couple of weeks and we're just dying to see her hair ;-) Maybe we go, maybe we don't... we'll see. I sure do miss Rosebud. Saw Richard there several times as well as Gorka and Cockburn Susan Warner and many others... what a great place that was and what a shame it went away because YEP felt Rosebud should support them instead of them supporting the venues that played their listeners' music, eh? At any rate... we hope to pull out here and head that direction about 4:30 or 5 and will maybe see some of you there, even though we'll never know it, I guess :-) I'm the tall skinny&fat, goofy looking, half bald Howdy Doody type guy with the gorgeous brunette on my arm. Considering it was -4 this AM out here, I may be yelling for him to play Spring unless I decide I ready for 4th of July or Arrowhead or My Love Will Follow or Sing Me Back Home or... well... I'll likely just be yelling unless it's a subdued crowd like the Club Cafe one was in which case I might behave... or not. I'll look back here later. ralph - -- I think every songwriter deserves that moment when they realize that their piece of work is not particularly a country song or a pop song or a folk song or a rock-and-roll song -- it's a song.

What a treasure of American roots, and other great music! I DL'd the Richard video for fun, and the hi-quality audio for - well - the high quality audio. Ya gotta love modern technology, and the people who put up great websites like this one! ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V7 #27 **********************************
