This is what I found: "Richard Shindell is an American folk singer currently living in Argentina." That's it. The whole entry. It reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's curt entry on Earth: "Mostly harmless." Can someone more skilled in Richard's overall history remedy this problem and create a good entry for him. How about Ron? This just isn't right. Bill Grimley P.S. Oh the horror. I looked up John Gorka and it says: "Wikipedia does not yet have a page called John Gorka." OH THE HUMANITY! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 23:09:25 EDT From: Rongrittz@aol.com Subject: [RS] Richard and Taylor guitars. The new issue of "Wood & Steel," the quarter Taylor Guitar publication, features a short article on Richard and his Taylor guitars. RG _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ XXX Raided Contemporay folk singer-songwriter Richard Shindell is pictured on the cover of the February/March "Dirty Linen" playing his new XXX-RS. Shindell fell for the 30th Anniversary short-scale while in San Diego for a gig in late 2004, after a test-drive arranged by Taylor Sales staffer Jay Morrissey. Morrissey bears the distinction of having been Shindell's first and only guitar student when he lived back in New Jersey in the mid-90's. "You got me," Shindell told Morrissey after some playing time with the guitar, and with that, it became his touring guitar in support of his latest release, "Vuelta." Shindell relayed to Morrissey that after one show, an audience member raved that his guitar sounded like a piano. Shindell subsequently picked up a K4, as well. The consummate song craftsman, Shindell has amassed critical aclaim and a devoted following since his 1992 debut, "Sparrows Point," and with each ensuing record has furthered his reputation as one of America's premier singer-songwriters. With a rich baritone voice, Shindell paints vivid, character-driven narratives that often flicker with haunting beauty and reflect the complex underpinnings of his protagonists' lives. Filled with sophistication, nuance, and obique details, a Shindell song often manages to be at once stark and intricate, and rarely fails to leave an afterglow of emotion. An expatriate who has lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina with his family since 2000, Shindell recorded "Vuelta" with the Argentinian ensemble Puente Celeste. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V7 #115 ***********************************
