Subject: NN: Getting dust on myself from the symphony
   Date: Sun, 31 Oct 1999 21:08:27 -0800 (PST)
   From: Tom Overton (thomasmoverton@yahoo.com>

Howdy y'all,
My fiancee just gave me The Dust Bowl Symphony for our
one-year-since-we-met anniversary.  So this has been
my first chace to hear it.  Although, since I live
here in Austin, I got to see Nanci perform it with the
Austin Symphony on her tour for the album.  The CD is
spinning on the CD of my PC right now as I type this.

I've listened to it once, and I must say I really like
it.  And not because these versions of these songs are
"better" than the other ones.  They express the songs
I love with a different, deeper set of instruments and
arrangements. These songs reach me in a different way
than the "originals".  

The "originals" still get me in the gut.  Just like
the first time I heard Nanci's voice on the radio,
raced to a phone and asked the DJ man to please tell
me who the angel I just heard on the radio was.  I was
hooked form moment one.

I got sneaky with my fiancee to get her hooked on
Nanci.  For a trip I put my two favorite Nanci CD's in
her car CD changer.  I left them there on purpose. 
Within a week she was hooked.  Another Nanci convert!!

See some of y'all at the Nanci/Don McClean concert Nov
2nd in Austin....

I was pleasantly suprised this weekend to hear the title track "Forget About
It"
playing on our local, Lincoln, Nebraska country radio station.  They stick
mostly with top 40 type music.  It was nice to hear Alison.

Hi All

>Subject: NN: Now that we've read our lists...

Ok, ya'll may have read all the lists, and that's good, but if there's anyone
out there (Bill!) who wants to chip in, chip away!  I've got a stack of printed
out digests in front of me, and I'm still transcribing all the songs.  And I
don't plan on making the web page with all the info on it until the first week
in January.  At least.  So I'm still here, workin' away at this project.  And
loving it.  It's an education.  

It does seem that NN is kinda ready to move on from this thread, so if you have
a list, from now on send it directly to me-- flyer23@angelfire.com-- or face
the great wrath of Mr. Bill, who hasn't quite morphed out of Halloween mode,
I'm sure.  : )

>Here's the songs:

Ok, I've never heard any of those.  (I retreat shamefully to my corner, head
bowed.>  

Wings & wheels, and a pile of day-old candy to all...

P.S.  Shawn-- great story.

Just got back from my favorite haunt: the used CD store. They were
having their halloween sale of buy five, get one free. Since my card
already had nine punches, I bought one and got two free.

Gove Schriver, *Shine On*. Some of you already discussed this one.
This album has half the Blue Moon Orchestra on it: Good ol' James
Hooker, Pat McInerney, Ron DeLaVega, and even Nanci does a guest
vocal on one track. This is my first Gove Schriver album, but
probably not the last. Good stuff all around.

Kate MacLeod, *Constant Emotion*. This album took no time to grow
on me. I liked it immediately. Kate's another singer/songwriter with
the talents I envy. Very listenable voice; very nice arrangements
with guitar, upright bass, banjo, tenor guitar, mandolin, etc. It
reminds me of some of Nanci's earlier albums, sweet and simple. 

The Kingston Trio, *Greatest Hits*. (I had to buy this one to get
the other two.) K-T always reminded me of a sing-along group; one
that I enjoyed mostly with a couple of beers in me. Since I had no
K-T in my collection, I bought it. (Wish I had grabbed the Linda
Ronstadt CD instead.)

By all means look for Gove's other CD "Solid Gove"... it's a combo of two
early albums from the '70s    I got to attend a show by Gove last year and
was thoroughly entertained.  Besides some wonderful singing and guitar
playing his sets feature some amazing autoharp tunes like "Two Rivers In
Montana" which is on the Solid Gove CD.... but I really recommend you see
him perform it live... amazing.

My wonderful girlfriend got me the Loretta Lynn: Honky
Tonk Girl boxed set for my birthday.
Great stuff.
They don't make 'em like Loretta anymore.

This music really begs the question.
Why has country music gotten so bad these days?
