How better to top that off, than with a return to Falcon Ridge? I'm so excited. Two of my friends and I just bought ourselves tickets to Falcon Ridge! Yay! I'm excited to see Tracy play. Somehow I haven't managed to be in the same city as one of her shows for too long of a while, and I miss her music, not to mention her energy. And Richard's on the Friday Night Song Swap! I am psyched. Psyched, I tell you! But even more, I'm looking forward to seeing old friends, especially folks from this list that I haven't seen in person in years, especially since leaving Jersey. And perversely, I'm looking forward to my usual assigned task in my little camping group--to get down to the main and workshop stages early for the 5am dash for primo real estate blanket space! - --Vanessa - -- "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar.

I'm looking forward to going too. You should try and make the Dave Carter song circle, usually held on Saturday night. Maybe we'll even see each other. I'll be wearing my Che shirt probably!

And the word is, "Damn." Doesn't he sound incredible?! Makes me very glad all over again to have been at that show. And if I didn't mention it before, Susan Werner was *incredible* that night. I can't even stress enough the extent to which she completely owned that room and had the whole audience in love with her. I'm reminded actually of a discussion I'd meant to weigh in on, about the relative merits of the harmonies of Lucy Kaplansky and Sara Milonovich. I forget who-all mentioned Sara's harmonies being less obtrusive where Lucy's tend to stick out more. I definitely agree that's true, and while it would be wrong to call Sara's harmonies anything short of lovely, I do have a particular liking for Lucy's surprising, dissonant harmonies. I think a lot of that comes out of being in an a cappella group for four years--you come away with a very healthy appreciation for great harmonies. I love when Lucy adds her voice to a song, and somewhere in the chorus I'm thinking, "Wow, I never would have thought to put those two notes together--but that sounds *great*!" But then, yeah, when I'm singing along to music at home, that's what I'm always doing myself--playing around the notes and trying to find those funky, dissonant harmonies that are just plain fun to sing because they're so unexpected. I love that Lucy can add such an unmistakable "Lucy" touch to a song without taking it over. I feel like even though her harmonies are very distinctive, they're always in service of the song (not to suggest that anyone here said otherwise). - --V On 5/28/07, Rob Knautz wrote: > > I just noticed that the Old Town School of Folk Music has put a clip of > Deportee on their website from Richard's show a couple of months ago. > > http://www.oldtownschool.org/video/page/11/ > - -- "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar.

Figures that I should remember it being way earlier. I'm surprised I didn't reimagine it as a 3am call. Funnily, that is the part about waking up at Falcon Ridge that inspires the most nostalgia--memories of yesterday's far-away blanket space and the promise of a better spot today. Somnambulating down the hill to find fifteen other neurotics, lean and hungry, gripping tarps with an eye and an ear out for the FFRF volunteer's signal, and then the mad dash. I will definitely be coming to the Dave Carter song circle! - --V On 5/28/07, Janet Cinelli wrote: > > Just an FYI, Vanessa, they won't let you put a tarp > down until 7:00 a.m. They're pretty vigilant about it > too.
