So woj gave money to WFUV in New York in their last fund drive, and the goodie arrived today: a CD called _CityFolk Live_, which contains live tracks from the likes of Patty Larkin, Bruce Cockburn, Bobby McFerrin, Dar Williams, Greg Brown, June Rich, John Gorka and Michael Manring, Moxy Fruvous, Lucinda Williams, Michelle Shocked, and Veda!!! (Among others..>.) Veda's selection is "Bellyfish", recorded on 6/26/97 in Studio A. The back of the jewel booklet contains some amusing notes about some (but not all) of the artists on the CD, including this: "On a post-interview lunch trip to Fordham Road, Veda Hille's blue hair prompted a Bronx teen to yell, 'Yo! Your hair is off the hook!' She replied, 'Thank you'..." I think it's beyond great that Veda is on this. WFUV interviews scores of artists every year, and they have an amazingly large library of live performances taped in their studios. For Rita Houston (WFUV's Music Director and all-around way cool person) to have picked "Bellyfish" to include alongside a bunch of more well-known songs is a testament not only to how wonderful Veda's music is, but how committed Rita is to making Veda's music more widely heard. As far as I know this CD is only available as a thank-you to charitable donations to WFUV of $75 or more, but if I find any alternate means of obtaining it, I'll let you know. There's lots of other good stuff on it besides Veda's contribution. Happy Solstice and whatever other holidays you're all celebrating! +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | U.S.A.
