Nora took a little more work to understand the references, which was fun as well. Tough choice, and I'm going with Nora. 2. Reunion Hill and Next Best Western - another great pair of songs, each mixing degrees of despair and hope. Reunion Hill also mixes the beauty of nature with the crap that people inflict on each other, and that's my vote. 3. Mary always had me at "Give a nod, give a wink, give a damn." 4. Several years ago my wife and I drove by the first place we lived when we were married, and were completely surprised at how much it has shrunk over the years. Wisteria. 5. The first time I met Richard I asked him if the INS guy was just a tired bureaucrat or a well-practiced sadist. Rad Lorkovic was standing there and immediately said, "With me, they're always the second." Richard smiled and said, "What he said!" Fishing. 6. I really like Waiting for the Storm, but Transit blows it away. 7. If the stowaway understood what he needed to do, as the courier did, he would have made it and still had a damn good story. The Courier. 8. Although it's the human condition versus the human condition, for me it's Sparrows Point. - -Howie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:19:10 -0500 From: "Michael & Linda Marmer" Subject: [RS] 1st Encore song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M4LhAHh8mQ The first song of the encore for Richard.

I've met a few of my closest friends here up to about 2003, and yet most of you have remained mystery typists all these years. But I doubt I'll say much on the RS FB Group. I much prefer managing my inbox to having notifications in said inbox to go somewhere else to find the conversation. - -- JC Sent from my BlackBerry PlayBook ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:12:54 -0500 From: Carol Love Subject: [RS] Ascent ~ thots Vanessa said something about having to go dust off a song and listen to it one more time before she voted. I've also been recycling songs for the voting to just be sure I love what I love. (I think RG actually pushed me from "like" to "love" with Whippoorwill during all this madness.) While I love more albums/songs more than others, I've ALWAYS been a HUGE Shindell fan since the early 90's/basically the start of his career. My iPod was on Shindell shuffle and "Ascent" came on. I don't think I've listened to that song in a very long time. I've always thought the song was about a convicted murderer waiting for the chair. It is, but what I noticed today was that you don't actually KNOW that until the end. (Typical Shindell punchline) For a few moments, I was really wondering if I had misjudged the song and it was perhaps about a man who learns he is terminally ill. I never noticed before that it isn't obvious that "eternity is mine" due to murder until the last verse. Anyone else notice this?? I surprised myself today... ....CL ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:48:03 -0800 From: RFC Subject: Re: [RS] Facebook v. list & setlist ban > >> I understand why folks might be inclined to use FB for RS content but I am not likely to migrate there. << No migration necessary. They both have their place, and both can co-exist. The list for long-form archivable discussions, FB for more disposable short-term spur-of-the-moment social interaction. In fact, I'm hoping that FB becomes the place where some of the personal quippy stuff that I'm not sure belongs here finds a more appropriate home. > >> However, I think it would be certain death to the list if set lists were banned. << Don't worry, they won't be. Personally, I'd no more ignore a show review because I want to be surprised than I'd ignore a tour schedule post because I want to be surprised when Richard shows up in my town, or ignore a post about a release date of his upcoming CD because I want to be surprised when it shows up on his website. Also, set lists change, band composition changes, between-song patter changes, what guitar he uses for what song changes and audience vibe changes from show to show. All shows are unique, so I'm not sure I get the "spoiler" concern. But it's never been an issue before, and it's not one now. Now, only a couple of days left for Sweet Sixteen voting. Most pairings are runaways, but two are nail-biters. Get those votes in!!

This version sounds darker and more minor, and Richard played the album track from the forthcoming album on WUMB and it was in this lower key.
