I've seen her many times, and every time that song was been requested, she refused to play it stating "I wrote that song when I was at a different place in my life and it's too painful to play it anymore." I don't know the background -- maybe it has to do with her first marriage? Can anyone comment?

I too saw Shawn in Portsmouth on the weekend. I drove down from Canada with 3 friends who did not really know much about Shawn other than Sunny. They enjoyed Shawn but it is not really their type of music. They all thought she was very entertaining. Mark's review covered all of the highlights. She sung a couple of covers. Every Little Thins she/he does is Magic which prompted her to tell some Sting stories about his kilt etc etc. very funny as usual. She also did Bob Dylan's You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go. Her third encore song was Polaroid's. When she came out for her encore people started yelling out requests and Shawn did the first three that were yelled out. -:) Her 2 new songs were very good. Her dress was pretty wild and she joked that she wore it so she would not get run over especially when she is playing with a band. Shawn also talked a bit about her triathlon after someone yelled out tell us about your triathlon. She down played her success saying she was in the simplest one, 3 mile run, 10 mile bike ride and a half mile swim. Yeah sounds easy eh?? LOL She talked about her next triathlon being around Boston and she had gone and tested the lake etc etc. Her little girl ran out on stage and was very cute. The crowd loved her. On a side note I wonder why people would bring small children to a concert. I'm not child bashing. I love kids but they don't have the attention span to be quiet for 2 hours. Mark is correct that any twit who brings a cell phone should be brought up on stage and flogged. 1 rang twice while Shawn was singing. UGH!!! Other than a few minor glitches it was a great show and Shawn looked and sounded great.

All I know about the genesis of 'I Don't Know Why' is that she wrote it in her head on the subway in NYC as Susan said. I believe it was when she'd been living in NY for a while and things weren't going great and she was kinda miserable, and wrote it as if she was talking to a small child about life. I honestly don't remember if I've heard her sing it live but I do know I've never heard her do Monopoly. What I really can't believe is how many requests Shawn seems to be playing on this tour! I always got the impression she wasn't much into bowing to requests... mind you, I have minimal live experience so what would I know ;) Kat :) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
