I have free tickets for the Patti Loveless concert in
Atlanta next week, which I accepted because I knew I'd heard
of her and wanted to see her, but unfortunately, I've
forgotten all the details.  Someone please fill me in??
(I'm only on the digest, so you may need to send replies
directly to me.

Thank you kindly. . .

Subject: NN: Willie's people
   Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 17:35:00 +0200
   From: "Marius Molstad" (marius.molstad@c2i.net>

Tuesday night this week did Willie Nelson play in Oslo, Norway. The highlight
was (of course) when he played a great version of "Pancho and Lefty". The
material ranged from Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" via "Seven Spanish angels" to
Hank Williams' "Jambalaya". This was the first time I've seen Willie and my
impression was a good, but uneven concert. 

The line up was Willie Nelson and Family, which consists of eight people on the
stage. It was Willie, Bobbie Nelson on piano, Mickey Raphael on harmonica,
"Hutch" Hutchinson on bass and Paul English on drums. As for the rest I didn't
catch the names and here comes the reason why I write this: Who's the rest of
Family? It was a percussionist, a left handed guitar player who played very
jazzy on a blonde Gibson archtop and another guitar player who also sang duet
and harmony. It's specially this last guitar player I want to know who is, he
had a great voice and played acoustic and high string guitar. He was
middle-aged with dark hair and looked a bit unshaven. It's was great when he
joined in and sang the second verse on "Pancho and Lefty" and then he sang
harmony on the chorus and forced Willie to sing more (Willie had a tendency to
talk more than sing on a few songs). Please help me, who was he?

As Kasey Chambers' music has been discussed here, recently, it seems like a
good place to mention that she'll be playing in the UK next month. The only
date I know so far is 19th July at the Bristol Flyer (which is in Bristol,
surprisingly enough).

Off to buy my ticket, tomorrow!

(London).

   From: josephoc@admin.stedwards.edu

My advance copy arrived in the mail today and I must say I'm floored to see
my byline in Texas Monthly. Hope you'll seek it out and read it. (It's the
one with Dubya Bush peeking up at you in a sea or red.) Quite an
interesting adventure and they've asked me to do more. So take a peek at
Page 19 of the July issue when it hits the rack this next week if you're in
these parts. Not sure if it'll be on their web site.

This is a direct result of something Tom Gill posted on Nancinet. The story
is about the little town of Lockney in the Panhandle, which you know as the
ancestral home of Nanci's mom's clan (though none live there now) and the
inspiration for "Trouble in the Fields." I've already thanked Tom
personally, but I wanted to also thank the whole group. Good vives coming
from this place!

I've been a writer for a long time, but I've never cracked into Texas
Monthly, which for a native like me is very cool.

Cheers,
Joe O'Connell

Surely we've mentioned a few special Nanci

       From: James_Troiano@umit.maine.edu (James Troiano)

Hi folks: I just checked out Tourdates.Com and was excited to see that
Nanci will be performing on Sat. Oct. 21 in Randolph, Vermont at the
Chandler Music Hall. Also performing will be Guy Clark and Rodney
Crowell. I am excited to be going to see her in Atlanta in July, but
this will be the first time in many a year that I can drive to see a
Nanci concert. Does anyone know about the venue?  Where is a good place
to stay there or eat? There is nothing listed in AAA under Randolph,
Vermont.  I anxiously await word from my fellow Northeast Nancinetters.
Thank you kindly, Jim Troiano.

   From: Tricia9999@aol.com

Since the lists are so quiet, I will presume...

Last night I saw Slaid Cleaves and Laurie Lewis with Tom Rozum and Grant 
Smith. Slaid opened for Laurie, did a short 25 minute set. The venue was sold 
out and I think that probably 98% were there to see the bluegrass folks and 
hadn't heard of Slaid. He was great, the crowd was audibly disappointed when 
he was closing up, he sold a lot of cds, and gained lots of new fans. He had 
a very fun stage presence (playing with him was Oliver Stech (sp?) on 
accordion.) This is his first tour on the west coast and he seemed to be 
having a good time. "A few fears back I accidentally wrote a folk song - you 
know it's a folk song as it's 6 minutes long, takes place in Canada in the 
1800s, a guy dies, there is an audience participation."

Laurie Lewis is a fiddle player/singer. Tom Rozum plays 
mandolin/mandola/guitar/fiddle; Grant Smith on banjo; Mary Gibbons on guitar, 
and Steve Pottier on stand-up bass. They cooked. Since they were playing in 
their hometown, they played a long couple of sets, and rozum brought more of 
his instruments than usual. It was great music and Laurie is a fine 
songwriter.

Next week-end is the Kate Wolf Memorial Festival...

Subject: NN: Kate Campbell concert review at Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse
   Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 12:18:56 -0500
   From: Ed Maier (evmaier@dhc.net>

Hi all,

Drove over to North Dallas last night for Kate's show at Uncle Calvin's.
Got there about 7:30 in time for some coffee and cheesecake. Found a
table near the stage and settled back for some music. Got tickled a
little bit when I realized that here I was a Methodist, formerly a
confirmed Lutheran, sitting in a Presbyterian Church getting ready to
listen to a Baptist girl sing a beautiful Catholic song! Ya gotta love
it, huh?

I really wish Kate could have made it...

Kate had to cancel for some reason, but the night was far from a
total loss. Instead, I was treated to Lisa Markley opening for
Steve Fisher.

Lisa's another singer/writer that's a transplant from the Seattle
area. She came here in the eighties to attend college at The
University Of North Texas, and stayed after graduation. Now
she teaches music in Dallas and does the local folk tours. It's
evident she studied jazz at UNT. It sneaks into her guitar playing.
Folk music with a little progressive jazz weaved into it is quite
listenable. (Obligatory fashion report: Lisa wore bluejeans, a 
purple sweater, and was barefoot for most of the set. Says shoes
interfere with her singing.)

Steve Fisher was a real treat. He's another Texan/folk singer/
songwriter. If I could play guitar that well, I'd retire from
where I work and hit the folk circuit. Bought his album "The
Looking Glass" and it's playing right now. He and Jamie Byrd,
yet another singer/songwriter, recorded the album on an independent
label that's not apparent on the CD insert. Waterbug Records?
(The back of the insert has a note "Unauthorized reproduction
frowned upon. Please support independent music.")


This album just edged out Lee Ann Womack's new album in my CD
player. If you happen to come across it, get it. Also, try

Take care,
Eddie

I'm surprised that all the bluegrass fiends over the pond haven't been 
raving about the new Valerie Smith cd, "Turtle Wings". It really is a 
beautiful record, and features her band rather than a stellar array of 
superstar session pickers. Yes Tim O'Brien adds a lovely harmony to "Oh 
Mandolin", Jerry Douglas puts in a gorgeous lap steel break on the title 
track, but the absolute highlight is the Kimmie Rhodes/Bob Regan song 
"Big Ol' Train". Doubtless Shawn will add this to his collection, but if 
you like heartfelt tunes, played with skill and integrity and sung 
lovingly, this is a cd you will want to own.

  I was at Virgin Mega a few days ago and didn't see it and I was
kinda looking for it.  I know that it's been released to DJs but I
hadn't seen it out for sale yet, though the official release date on
Valeries's web page was  supposed to be June 6.   
  I had the pleasure of "discovering" Valerie and Liberty Pike for
myself at the Kissimmee Bluegrass show a few months ago.  A real
treat!  I guess I gotta go back to the store now and look harder.

For Bob's information import copies of Valerie Smith's "Turtle Wings" 
filtered into the UK on Tuesday gone, the 13th, so I imagine it must have 
been released on that date in the USA.

Hope you find a copy Bob, and enjoy it.
