Comes out stateside in early March.  Stay tuned.  I think people on
Tom's mailing list will be able to buy it a little early.  Check out
http://www.tomrussell.com for updates.

I hope this is the correct address to send postings...this is the first
time I've written in.

I was walking through Washington National Airport (in DC) the other day
and I heard "Just Another Morning Here" on muzak.  It took me a few
moments to place it as it was WAY out of context.  Oh well, subliminal
Nanci for the masses can only be a good thing.

Does anyone have the chords for So Long Ago and The Wing and The Wheel
that they wouldn't mind sending me? (Home use only).  Thanks!

That's a Double O 18 (as in OO-18)!  Martin size their smaller body guitars
in O, OO, OOO, and OM sizes.

Yes Bill, I can! There's a CD called the "Definitive Transatlantic
Collection" which is a collection spanning the first decade of John's career
which includes a bit of blues, folk, and medieval/early (originally for the
lute) music. I would recommend this (it's on budget/mid-price) as a starting
point, or perhaps "John Renbourn/Another Monday" (double CD) if you want to
concentrate on some acoustic jazz/blues from the first part of his career in
the mid-60s - a couple of tunes with Bert Jansch on guitar - very cool.
There are some RealAudio samples of John's music on CDNOW - check out the
title track on "The Hermit" - this has to be one of the greatest tunes ever.
It is also on the "Definitive Collection".

Enjoy!

Take care all,

Zac.

Subject: NN: broken cd's and Poetmouse
   From: Amber L Gilbert (alorien@juno.com>

Dear NN's,

        Hey ya'll!  I was recently listening to one Fair Summer Evening,
when Love at the Five and Dime broke.  It was like a broken record.  This
has happened before, and also happened to Blue Roses From the Moons, #11.
Any advice?

        Also, has anyone heard from Poetmouse?  Is her dad okay?

        Amber, friend out in the maddness

// hmmm...I believe it's "Poetmuse"   [BP]

Unless you've chipped the discs it's probably greasy finger marks. 
Try cleaning with mild soap and water (don't use abrasives of course)
then dry by wiping from the center of the disc outwards with a lint
free cloth.

If that doesn't work it could be dirty lens on your player, though I
guess that would affect more than two CDs.

If the CD is chipped (light scratches are usually okay) then you can
now get CD repair kits, although I've never tried one I've read that
they are quite effective.  Take a look at www.cdrepair.com for more on
this type of product.  Pretty impressive if it works as it says, price
is $14.99 plus $3.00 shipping if you are outside the US (like me) then
shipping is $5.00. They reckon it will do 40 discs.

Subject: NN: Lee Satterfield's Album
   From: "Robert McClellan" (bluez57@excite.com>

Hello my friends:

Recent buzz here about prompting major labels to produce a Lee Satterfield
album...is greatly appreciated and Ms. Lee replies directly to the Nanci
Net:

"Bob:

Thanks for forwarding that post - Could you do me a favor and tell the NNet
that I am in the process of recording a CD at home and that someone has
generously given me enough backing to get started.  I'll let the NanciNet
know when it is finished and give them an opportunity to have it first.
Please thank them for their interest and enthusiasm!

Love, Lee"

Lee and her hubby, John Mock, (producer/musician) have a nice home studio
and she has plenty of great material already on track...As so many working
musicians do these days, the trick to major label success is to produce and
sell enough independently produced CD's to get thier attention...ie Shawn
Mullins and others...even Nanci's first label; was an indie named B.F. Deal
which was pretty much a one man operation before MCA/Elektra came to their
senses...and signed her.

On the beach in Florida today!

Best,

Bob McClellan

// hmmm...weren't there some fairly GREAT albums under

Subject: NN: WUMB Top 10 Folk Albums of 1998
   From: Scott_Johnsen@restrac.com

Hello Everyone,

Well I finally received the entire list of Top 10 Folk Albums from WUMB.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the voting isn't strictly based on
albums released in 1998.  Instead, there is a 1998 "window" which includes
those albums released in 1997 but after the 1997 voting had already taken
place and sometime in late November or early December of 1998. Voting is
done by WUMB staff members and WUMB supporters.  (Actually, reviewing the
ballot is one of the best parts of this process!)

WUMB spends two weeks to "announce" this list with the Best New Artist of
1998 being announced on the Monday following the Number 1 Folk Album.  The
begin by playing one selection every half hour between 6:00 am and 8:00 pm
each week day counting down from number 10.  I enjoy this very much because
not only do you get introduced to some artists whom you might not be
familiar with, but you also get to hear more than the standard one or two
cuts from the CD.

At any rate, the complete list is below.  Enjoy!

- Scott

1.  Various Artists 		Treasures Left Behind: Remembering Kate
Wolf                         
2.  Lucinda Williams		Car Wheels On A Gravel Road         
3.  Ellis Paul      		Translucent Soul                    
4.  Susan Werner    		Time Between Trains                 
5.  Kate Campbell   		Visions of Plenty                   
6.  Nanci Griffith  		Other Voices, Too (A Trip Back to Bountiful)  
7.  Emmylou Harris  		Spyboy                              
8.  Bob Dylan     		Live 1966                           
9.  Vance Gilbert		Shaking Off Gravity                 
10. Lyle Lovett  		Step Inside This House              

Best New Artist of 1998
    Lori McKenna  		Paper Wings & Halo

   From: Shearn (pshearn@ix.netcom.com>

Hello from a newbie Netter and, 'til now, lurker,

    My name is Peter and I hail from NJ. I have been a fan for a couple
of years, but have never seen Nanci in person yet...hopefully someday.
When I saw Lorrie's request, I couldn't help but to recommend someone
most of you probably haven't heard of before.  His name is Phil Keaggy
and has been recording for over 25 years.  He is known for being a flash
on the electric guitar and in a band setting, but his acoustic work is
brilliant.  He blends many styles including: folk, rock, celtic, jazz,
blues, country and on and on.... He writes all his instrumentals and
also has a nice voice when doing his own or other writer's material.
The album I would recommend would be "Beyond Nature", on Myrrh Records,
for being all instrumental, acoustic guitar with a little orchestration,
here and there.  Another would be "Acoustic Sketches"  which, with one
exception, is all acoustic guitar.  He uses a device called a JamMan;
which allows him to layer guitar bits while he is playing and has become
an quite creative at this.  For all the guitar nuts out there, he plays
an Olson guitar, mostly.  Well, there you have it.

Cheers, Peter
