Subject: NN: Re: Don McLean in concert
   Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 01:21:12 EDT
   From: QUELIN@aol.com

Hi all.

Just peeking out to answer a rather OT, but important, question:

In a message dated 10/17/99 9:32:47 PM Pacific Daylight Time,  Anna Henderson 
writes:

(( I know nothing about Don McLean, will I
 enjoy his performance?  Somebody tell me. >>

I saw him years ago at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor and it was great.  
The one thing I thought would drive me nuts about him didn't -- the fact that 
he sometimes seems to sing a half step behind his own guitar.  I loved his 
records, but his television performances seemed to lag a little.  I'm happy 
to report that it was terrific!  

At one point, he commented about the old theater and how all those structures 
were built with acoustics in mind.  He then stepped away from the microphone 
and did an entire song completely alone -- just him singing -- no mic, no 
guitar.  I'll never forget it.  It was an unvarnished, beautiful thing.  It 
was, for lack of a better word, real.  Breathtaking.  Gutsy.  I think it was 
Stardust, but I honestly can't say.  The song itself was lost in the moment 
and as the voice mingled with the hard woods and danced among the old velvet 
curtains.  The song didn't seem to matter nearly as much as the clarity and 
precision of his voice.

I wish for *you* a moment like that.

Oh, one more thing...
Bravo to whomever suggested The Sky is Crying by Stevie Ray.  Wooooeeeee!  
>From the first note!  Come to Mama!

Um...I'm suddenly remembering how, when I'd get a little too rowdy, mom used 
to say "We've all seen you.  You can sit down now." (g>

Creeping back into oblivion, but ever grateful for you all,

Good Morning aNGels,

Although I enjoy seeing all the lists, I don't think I could even begin
such a task for fear of leaving something out.  So I want to interrupt
them for a moment for a request.

Not too long ago someone mentioned that the Los Angeles Radio Program
"Folk Scene" had replayed their 1983 show with Nanci.  I taped it and it
is an excellent show, but there are some song titles I am unsure of
because I couldn't find them in the discogophry.  So I'm asking for
help. This is the set list as I got it, and Nanci did announce each
song.  Here goes:

There's A Light Beyond These Woods
Grace Of True Love Ways
I'm Not Driving These Wheels
You Can't Go Home Again
West Texas Sun
Ballad of Robin Winter-Smith
I Hear Nevada
Ghost In The Music
Tapenzee (SP)
Marlyn Monroe/Neon & Waltzes

Also if anyone is interested, I would be willing to trade or tree this
tape

Subject: NN: Re: St. Teresa
   Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 09:20:13 EDT
   From: RoanInish@aol.com

It appears that I have come late to the discussion of the song "St. Teresa of 
Avila" (perhaps because I miss digests on file) but as a Catholic I can 
assure you that church hierarchal doctrine on suicide has changed 
considerably since Vatican II, and teaches prayers and compassion for those 
who have taken their own life.  For that matter in order for an act to be a 
"mortal sin" three conditions must be present.  In layman's terms it must be 
1) something grave 2) the person must know that it is something grace 3) the 
person commits act with full knowledge of 1 and 2.

Old notions die hard.  I for one was astonished at how many news anchors and 
reporters expressed amazement that John F. Kennedy Jr. was allowed to be 
cremated in the Catholic church.  It just serves as further evidence of how 
little the mainstream media understand religion and people of faith.  Why 
else would it be that they continue to appoint the Christian Coalition as the 
spokesmen for all Christians?  Ever notice how they introduce Pat Robertson 
as "THE REV." Pat Robertson, but regularly avoid that title when introducing 
Rev. Jesse Jackson?  Likewise, the mainstream media focusses so heavily on 
Pope John Paul II's anti abortion, anti-contraception stances almost to the 
exclusion of a social and economic doctrine that is well to the left of 
anything the Democratic party would dare run on in this country.  His 
anti-capitalist views as strong as his well known anti-communisit views.  It 
was only when he convinced the Gov. of Missouri to spare the life of a death 
row inmate did the media widely make known his strong opposition to capital 
punishment.

I have never interpreted Nanci's song as being anti-Catholic, in fact I have 
frequently gotten the sense that Nanci has a certain respect for Catholicism, 
at least as far as social justice issues goes.

Remember, Catholics see ours as a universal church, and while this often 
means extremely divergent points of views (Dorothy Day, Daniel Berrigan, 
Oscar Romero, Thomas Merton at one end, Pat Buchannan, Alan Keys, at the 
other) it also serves as a reminder of god's unconditional love for us all.

My apologies for the rambling.  But I hope some contribution to the 
discussion is in all of it!

The Simon & Garfunkle version is of course excellent.  My 'kids'

I've always had the feeling that she wasn't commenting on it, just
acknowleding catholiscm's presence in her life as a result of her
childhood.

As for the rest of the song...i have so much to say i could write a book

Subject: NN: RE: St. Teresa
   Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 02:13:43 EDT
   From: BMiller224@aol.com

I can't resist jumping in a bit on the "St. Teresa" discussion.  As we know, 
it is a song about an old friend of Nanci's and Maggie's who took her own 
life.  

The official position of the Catholic Church is that suicide is contrary to 
respect for life, for one's obligations to society and to the love of God.  
However, the official Church catechism also says, "Grave psychological 
disturbances, anguish or grave fear of hardship, suffering or torture can 
diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide." 

The catechism goes on to say that we "should not despair of the eternal 
salvation of persons who have taken their own lives."  Exactly how a 
particular priest or other clergy deals with a case of suicide would depend 
very much, of course, on the experience and compassion of the particular 
cleric.

As I understand it, Nanci was not raised in the Catholic Church.  But she did 
go to a Catholic high school.  On the "Other Voices, Other Rooms" video, she 
talks about her Catholic school and reminisces about going to peace marches 
with the nuns.

It seems to me that for someone who draws heavily on the folk and country 
music traditions that Nanci has very few religious references in her songs.  
"Wings of a Dove" is the only song that comes to mind that I would think of 
as a Gospel song that she does (and Lucinda Williams sings the lead on that 
one).  But she does use angel symbolism skillfully.

"St. Teresa" stands out among her songs for using a religious theme so 
prominently.  There's also not a lot of popular songs celebrating Catholic 
saints in some way.  Teresa of Avila is a key figure in the Western Christian 
religious tradition.  She was also an important Church reformer in the 16th 
century as well as one of the most important women theologians in Church 
history.

But the song is also in particular about her friend who committed suicide, so 
it has an intensely personal edge to it.

Subject: NN: Weekend Festival--Robert Earl Keen and Junior Brown
   Date: Tue, 19 Oct 1999 10:15:21 EDT
   From: Petop@aol.com

    This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the 6th annual 
Bocktoberfest in Shiner, Texas, which is getting the reputation of providing 
higher quality entertainment in one day than the Kerrville Folk Festival does 
in three weekends. These people even had the courage to imprint the scheduled 
start times of each of the acts on the souvenir drink cups. Not only that, 
the showed remained on festival throughout the day. It began at 12:30 p.m. 
and lasted until 10:30 p.m.
    Although Shiner is only 50 miles east of Nanci's hometown of Seguin, she, 
of course, was not on the bill. But, of the bands, that were the only dud was 
Tito & the Tarantula from El Paso, whose main claim to fame is their 
appearance in two Robert Rodriguez movies, "Desperado" and "From Dusk Till 
Dawn."
    The headliners were Robert Earl Keen, Junior Brown and Marcia Ball. I 
have discussed Ms. Ball at length on this list. Keen has consistently 
recorded some of the finest, most underappreciated, albums of the last 
decade. His latest, Walking Distance, is a gem that has been inappropriately 
ignored by too large a segement of the CD-buying public. But his live show is 
a real revelation. He embodies energy and entertainment. If I had one 
complaint it's that his show travels at such a speed that it seems as thought 
it's over twoo quickly--his 75 minutes on stage seemed half that long. But if 
he comes to your town, you should do whatever you can to see him. I managed 
to secure the following list of upcoming dates: Nov. 2--Kemper Arena, Kansas 
City, Mo.; Nov. 4--The Handlebar, Greenville, SC; Nov. 5--Georgia Theatre, 
Athens, Ga.; Nov. 6--The Music Farm, Charleston, SC; Nov. 9--Ram's Head, 
Annapolis, MD; Nov. 10--The Birchmere, Alexandria, VA; Nov. 12--Tramp's, New 
York NY; Nov. 19--Newby's, Memphis, TN; Dec. 4--The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA; 
Dec 5-8--Orleans Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas; Dec. 31--Austin Millennium 
Celebration with Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin, Austin, TX.
   Junior Brown was a discovery. I had known or Mr. Brown only by reputation: 
Persons whose opinion I respect have told me he is the finest, most 
innovative guitarist working in music today. I took such remarks with a grain 
of salt, but then I saw him in person. Try to imagine Jimi Hendrix playing 
lead guitar with Asleep at the Wheel and you might get some idea of what 
Junior Brown is all about. He plays this obviously custom-made guitar that 
comes in two pieces, a sort of pedal steel contraption attached what appears 
to be a Fender modified by a trash compactor. He  then secures instrument 
onto a stand and plays them simultaneously. His set consists of everything 
from Hank Thompson-inspired honky tonks to Leadbelly-inspired blues. But the 
revelation comes at the end when he rips through an instrumental medley of 
"Walk Don't Run," "Pipeline," and "Secret Agent Man" (yes, they do fit 
togethet quite nicely, thank you), and tops it off with a dollop of "Wild 
Thing." If Junior Brown comes to your neighborhood, I heartily recommend you 
Run, Don't Walk, to the nearest ticket outlet. His upcoming schedule is: Oct. 
22--The Tralf, Buffalo, NY; Oct. 23--Cat's Cradle, Carrboro, NC; Oct. 
24--Ram's Head, Annapolis, MD; Oct. 25--The Birchmere, Alexandria, VA; Oct. 
27--Lyric Theatre, Blacksburg, VA; Oct. 28--The Handlebar, Greenville, SC; 
Oct. 30--Crossroads, Sylva, NC; Nov. 5--Mississippi Nights, St. Louis; Nov. 
6--Southern Theatre, Columbus, Ohio; Nov. 8--Legendary Horseshoe Tavern, 
Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Nov. 10--Irving Plaza, New York; Nov. 11--Johnny 
D's, Somerville, MA; Nov. 12--New Market Cabaret, Philadelphia; Nov. 
17--Juanita's Cantina Ballroom, Little Rock, AR; Nov. 18--Tipitina's, New 
Orleans; Nov. 19--Frankie's Patio Bar & Grill, Ybor City, FL; Nov. 26--Billy 
Bob's Texas, Fort Worth; Nov. 27--Floores County Store, Helotes, TX; Nov. 
28--Mucky Duck, Houston; Dec. 3-4--Continental Club, Austin, TX; Dec. 31--The 
Rockin R, Denton, TX.

Well, well,
Another Junior Brown fan! Cate in Atlanta, it looks like we have company!
The guitar he plays, he calls it a guit-steel. Junior, in my opinion, is one
of the top 10 guitarists around. In his younger days, he studied and taught
guitar with Leon McAuliffe, of Bob Wills fame. The man knows every trick
there is to know with a guitar. And that Jimi Hendrix sound is no accident,
either. On one of his albums, Long Walk Back, the drummer on the cut "Stupid
Blues" is Mitch Mitchell, from the Experience. I think Junior and Nanci
would make a great duet on, say, "Sweet Dreams will Come", the John Stewart
song. 
I'll be rockin' with Junior on the 6th here in Columbus.
See ya.

Hi netters-

I know i'm a little late in the discussion of WSO, considering how 
thoroughly we've established the song's background, but I want to get back 
to something Reid said way back at the beginning of the discussion:

>I will risk accusations of "political correctness" to
>say that I'm surprised that anybody would think the
>anthem of the Civil Rights Movement was written by a white person.

And I will now risk accusations of political incorrectness to ask WHY NOT?  
The moral principles and ideas behing the civil rights movement were shared 
by all; you didn;t have to be black to appreciate that it was wrong to deny 
black people rights.  I'm surprised anyone would assume it couldn't have 
been a white person.  Nanci, being white, couldn't have posibly written 
IAHLWYG because whites can't have anti-klan sentiment?  Did Woody Guthrie 
have to be hispanic to write Deportee?  Why can't you write, and sing, 
whatever songs echo the sentiment that's in your heart about these issues?

I don't mean any disrespect to reid or anyone else here, I'm just asking.

Tracy

Subject: NN: Kim Richey (No Nanci)
   Date: Tue, 19 Oct 99 12:30:49 +0100
   From: John Edward Graveling (kai21@dial.pipex.com>

Kim Richey gave a marvellous performance to a packed Borderline club, 
here in London, last night. She was backed by a young band sporting the 
finest Byrds haircuts, circa 1965. Their names passed me by apart from 
Will Kimbrough on lead guitar. They were tight and did the job to 
perfection.

Kim gave us a run through of songs from all phases of her career, 
highlights being, "Those Words We Said" and "Just My Luck" from her 
debut, "Straight As The Crow Flies" and the finale "I'm Alright" from 
"Bitter Sweet" and "Hello Old Friend", "The Way It Never Was" and the 
Zeppelinesque riffing of "Strength In You", all from "Glimmer". The 
absolute highlight came during a brief interlude when Kim played solo, 
while the band took a break. Her crystal clear voice and acoustic picking 
sending shivers through me as she sang "Just Like The Moon" from her 
debut recording. Great stuff indeed, and as Kim said, the country route 
didn't work for her, so I wonder where she is bound as an artist. The new 
material bore an unmistakable resemblance to Shawn Colvin. No bad 
comparison, but Kim is good enough to make it on her own, without being 
compared to anyone. Good luck to her in the quest for artistic success. 
As a songwriter she is right up there, as witnessed in the one new, 
unrecorded, song she played, which some 'big' name has put on hold. 
Obviously Kim's next big hit and big pay day!!! She has a voice to die 
for, so if she's playing near you, get out there and support her. Luckily 
we get another chance on Sunday week, when she supports Raul Malo, at a 
large London Theatre.

Rock on Kim!!

I hope no one minds but I thought that I would step in here with a
little promotion we are having at Village Records.

Kim Richey autographed some album flats for us and we having a drawing
to give them away, no purchase required, just for fun, at
	http://villagerecords.com/promotions  

For those that don't know, an album flat is a twelve inch square
reproduction of the album artwork on poster board.

And if someone on the list has not already bought her new CD and does so
this week I will send them one of these.  I guess I better limit this to
the first five.  If you do this please mention this offer.

Her new album *A Crash Course In Roses* is very nice. Catie is an
excellent singer/songwriter, and she wrote or co-wrote all of the
songs on the album. The overall tone of the album is heavy on
percussion, but I wouldn't ever call it overdone. It all just seems
to fit exactly where it belongs.

Also got around to finally picking up the tribute to Gram Parsons,
*Return Of The Grievous Angel*. It's a definite keeper, too.

If I am lucky enough to live another twenty years, I hope they are
as happy as the last five have been. Good music is a blessing.
