Shawn and Loudon Wainwright III (of "Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road" fame) are paired up on a tribute CD dedicated to Richard Thompson. Shawn and Loudon perform "A Heart Needs A Home" and they do a WONDERFUL job. Of course, there is Shawn's sultry version of "Viva Las Vegas," which is featured on the tribute CD to Doc Pomus. Then, there is the great backup support Shawn supplies to Lucy Kaplansky on her CDs, not to mention the lovely backups on many of John Gorka's stuff too. Wooh, this is making me want to stay home from work today so I can just sit around and listen to Shawn ALL DAY LONG. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.

She stands out here because the UK music scene is very much dominated by indie-rock (no bad thing) and acoustic based singer-songwriters are very rare which makes the fact that Beth has music-press cred even more surprising. You lucky sods over the sea have people who finely craft beautifully structured songs coming out of your ears. It's just not something we do very well. Only saw her once, this year at Glastonbury (along with Shawn). both very good both very enthusiastically greeted.

NEWS FLASH!!!!! I was just watching ShowBiz Today on CNN and they advertised a live show broadcast from Disney's new New York attraction. I believe it was call the "The West End." Anyway, they said SHAWN COLVIN will be performing live on the show!!!!!! The show is scheduled to air next Wednesday, November 5, 1997. That's at 5:30p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the East Coast. I assume that means you guys on the West Coast will see the same thing at 2:30p.m. I think CNN repeats the afternoon show around midnight too. I've seen Shawn on ShowBiz Today before and I'm sure she won't be featured for more than five minutes or so, since they will be talking about the showbiz news for the day and so forth. Hopefully, we'll get to see her perform at least one song all the way through and participate in some chit-chat with the Lauren Sydney or Jim Morray. So, mark it on your calandar and run out and get that new blank video tape over the weekend. Happy listening!! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
