Hi Joe,

This will come as a HUGE shock to you! We have actually NOT cancelled
our plans to be on our way to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival on the
Stanford date. We are really disappointed to miss Nanci on our home turf
:( On the plus side, we do get to see Eddie From Ohio at Falcon Ridge!  

Through very careful planning, we have also arranged to catch Nanci,
Kate Campbell AND Shawn Kimbro in Atlanta, Georgia though. That will
definitely ease the pain of our Stanford loss. Plus, we will be seeing
Nanci again at the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival so the year won't be a
complete loss :) 

Eddie From Ohio will be at the Kuumbwa in Santa Cruz on November 4!
Don't make any other plans for that weekend!

Are you and Kathie going to the Garnet Rogers show this week?

Bests,

Bill

   From: "John Davis" (j.davis@virgin.net>

Having been turned on to many artists through the list I feel duty bound to
offer an endorsement of Kasey Chambers' The Captain. I know she has been
mentioned on the list but I first heard her only a couple of weeks ago on
the excellent Bob Harris radio show here in the UK. I tracked down the CD on
Friday and having been playing it to death over the weekend. For those not
in the know, Kasey is a 23-year-old Australian with a distinctive smoky
voice. If I had to liken her to anyone it would perhaps be Lucinda
Williams - I certainly think the album has a Car Wheels vibe about it. I
really think that Ms Chambers might be the next big thing, although I hope
she hangs onto her rootsy edge and doesn't venture too far into the
potentially richer pickings of bland adult rock.
Next on my hit-list is Claire Lynch, another Bob Harris favourite. The
couple of tracks I've heard so far make me want to listen to more of her
wonderful voice. Oh, and then Laura Cantrell!

I don't see Laura Cantrell's name mentioned often. I do highly recommend 
her new CD, 'Not The Tremblin' Kind'. Should appeal to Nanci/Emmylou fans.

That's a pretty good assessment, Maudeen, given the limitations of the source.

Being a big fan myself, I accessed the website a while ago and clicked on the
song bytes for interest, and was dismayed at how much of the subtlety of her
voice and power of the songs was missing (quite apart from running a bit slow)
in this compressed format.  Plus the fact that the first song one comes across
is "The Captain" which is a highly personal song and I can imagine is not to
everyone's taste.  And "Cry Like A Baby" contains most of the
goosebump-inducing moments in the verses, whereas all we hear is the refrain.

The conclusion being, yes, it's fantastic to have this technology available,
but be wary of forming too hasty a judgement based on a few poorly reproduced
fragments, whoever the artist - you might just miss out on a treasure-trove.
Where MPEG samples are available, I strongly recommend the extra time taken to
download them if you have even half an incline that you might enjoy the
particular artist.

Tony, audio-quality obsessive.

I'm having a heck of a time just figuring out how to order tickets!  Anyone 
else have problems calling the number in the ad or from the website?  All I 
get is a menu that lets you choose from getting an "invitation" in the mail 
or being a corporate sponsor.  Nothing about ordering tickets.  I'm starting 
to get frustrated!  Has anyone figured out how to order tickets?  I have a 
friend playing oboe in the symphony.  She may get discounted or free tickets. 
 Maybe I'll just have to wait for her.

Went to see Emmylou Harris Friday night up in Saratoga (Ca., that is).  What 
a great show!  She did about 20 songs, mostly from "Spyboy" and "Wrecking 
Ball."  The band was right on.  Buddy was all over the place on those guitars 
of his.  Can that guy play or what!  The opener was a gal name Cindy Bullen 
(sp?).  She did about 4 songs.  Nice stuff.  Anyone know anything about her?  
She came out later and played harmonica on a couple of Emmylou's songs.  Emmy 
had sung on one of hers.  All in all a great evening!

Be God's,

Cindy Bullens released one of the most emotive cd's in recent memory 
"Somewhere Between Heaven & Earth". It featured songs written about the 
death of her 11 year old daughter from cancer. But rather than a morbid 
aside to death it is actually a celebration of the childs life and 
Cindy's way of dealing with everything.

I find it impossible to read the cd booklet, telling the story of how the 
record came about, without choking up and tears welling in my eyes. 
Listening to the songs brings out a whole range of emotions.

The songs are wonderful. It's a rock record, not folky, country, but it 
packs a punch and tells a story about real life.

The cd is on the Artemis label, ART 1012.

   From: Michael Wilt (handofgrace@yahoo.com>

Griffsters,

Because I get the list via the digest, I don't know if
anyone has reported this David Letterman-Nanci quip
from last night's (6/19) show. Apologies if I'm
redundant.

Letterman was doing one of his multiple-choice quiz
bits, the subject being summer carnivals. Over video
of a guy barbecuing a pile of meat on sticks,
Letterman read:

This man is barbecuing:
a) beef kabobs
b) shish kabobs
c) squirrels killed in the gears of the tilt-a-whirl

As the audience laughed (yes, this was perceived as
funny), Letterman was heard to say, "Sounds like a
Nanci Griffith song."

I must admit I went off to bed singing "squirrels
killed in the gears of the tilt-a-whirl" to the tune
of "Banks of the Pontchartrain."

All the news that fits,

Michael Wilt

I don't know the history between Nanci and David Letterman, but I remember 
when she was on the show with OVOR2, he had glowing things to say about her. 
And he is quoted on the back of the book.  I'd like to know, if anyone out 
there would like to share.

Hi Barbara,

Every time Nanci sings on Letterman's show, his admiration for her (and maybe 
a crush on her, too?) shows so clearly. He says things like, "She's the 
best!" or "She's the real deal!" and gets kind of goofy in his praise. 

I was miffed at David Letterman the time he made a wisecrack about Nanci's 
back-up singers (back when it was Deniece Franke and, I'm sorry I forget his 
name, the young singer with whom she was a duo, am I right about this?). 
Anyway, they'd been singing very softly on just a choice few harmony notes 
during Nanci's performance, and at some point David made the wise crack that 
"Somebody should tell Nanci that those back-up singers are getting paid to 
just stand there!" or something equally dumb.

Otherwise, he's always been very effusive and excited when she appears. I 
think he is a big fan!

Hi Barbara,

I've seen twelve (yup, I counted 'em) appearances Nanci has made on Dave's show
over a twelve year period, and I'd say he adores her and her music.  Some years
she appeared twice for the same album/tour.  While I know she's been on T.V.
since at least '85, her '88 appearance on Letterman's show is one of her first
(if not her first) appearances where she received national exposure on one of
the major networks.  He's expressed deep admiration, almost awe, for her OVOR
album, and is always a solid supporter.

I'm sure when he made the squirrel comment he was just being his nutty self.

Julie

Barbara and all,

My reference to the audience laughing had to do with
the original barbecue joke--because of their laughter,
I doubt if the studio audience even heard Letterman's
quip about Nanci.

Letterman has consistently been a big booster of
Nanci, and this goes back many years. There was no
sign of mean-spiritedness in his comment. Just a
quirky connection noted.

I'd say that this may refer back to the time Nanci made an appearance to
sing "This Heart".  She was interviewed after the song, during which she
told an anecdote (as they do!) about an Irish woman berating her with a
"brand new mop".  Letterman made an inane quip about writing a song
about it.  Nanci then went on (I know 'cos I just checked) and concluded
with the line "bonking people with the brand new mop", upon which
Letterman put that line to music (well...you know..) and then said:
"They don't give this job to chimpanzees, folks!"

So I suppose in the perverse way that his mind works, the alliteration
made his mind jump back.  Then again, it could be something quite
different!

Tony, with nothing better to do.

The version I heard was that Nanci had bought a new mop or broom and was
carrying it in a way that the handle was hazardous to those behind her.
She was tapped on the head with an umbrella by an elderly woman who said
"Miss Griffith, you'll be stopped of the poking me with that broom
handle."

   From: Tony Cox (tonycox@pacific.net.au>

Hi Netters,
For those of you with a few leisurely minutes to idle away or for the
thrill-seekers amongst you wondering at the context of Nanci using the
'b' word, I have just taken down a transcript of the occasion.

As I said before, it may have nothing at all to do with Letterman's
recent quip, but coming as it did (IMO) at the peak of Nanci's creative
powers (at the time of Flyer) I thought it may be of interest anyway.
Not that you should expect anything life-changingly revelatory from a
Letterman interview :-)

Anyway, Nanci was in sparkling good form throughout, and she'd just
performed a lively version of This Heart, with, among others, Paul
Schaefer in the back-up band, playing guitar.  At the end of the song,
Letterman walks over to greet Nanci.

DL:  Nanci Griffith - that's great, good to see you.  Hey Paul - you
don't know how to play that - you don't know how to play the guitar; put
that down.  We'll be right back folks.
(Ad break; when they return, DL and Nanci are seated.  DL turns to PS)
DL:  Paul, you don't know how to play the guitar.  Now put that down.
PS:  Well I know 3 chords, and luckily for me Nanci only wrote 3 chords
in that song.
DL:  You're making a fool of yourself - put that away!  (Turns to Nanci)
Boy, that was a great song, Nanci.
NG:  Thank you.
DL:  You know I love your music and I love your work and I love you;
what can I say.
NG:  (feigning breathlessness) After Phoebe Cates - how can I ever
compare.
DL:  You know, I'm a very lucky man on a night like this.  (To audience,
with a typical Letterman look:) Like I got a shot either way!
Er, now... when you were a kid what was the kind of music that really
caught your ear the first time you wanted to write songs and perform
music?  Who were the people responsible for that?
NG:  Well, basically, Woody Guthrie and Buddy Holly.
DL:  Wow, well that's a pretty good combination.
NG:  Yeah, you throw them in a pot and you get this folkabilly Nanci
Griffith.
DL:  What about guys like Bill Monroe...Mabel Carter, June Carter Cash,
those folks?
NG:  The Carter family, yeah, they were great, but in Austin, Texas, we
didn't know who Bill Monroe was and I didn't know who he was...
DL:  You know, I have a confession to make - I don't know who he is
either (raucous laughter)  Ahem..tell me about you..you have a house.
You have a place to live in Ireland?
NG:  Right.
DL:  I find this interesting: that Ireland is really a hot-bed for
country & western music, country music, folk music - whatever you call
it.  You have a big following there, don't you?
NG:  I guess so, yeah.  They really admire writers and I guess Ireland's
probably given birth to as many prose writers and music writers as Texas
has, you know, so we have that in common.  And Ireland really respects
writers, the real thing.
DL:  You actually live there part of the time?
NG:  I do, yeah.
DL:  And what is life like for you?
NG:  It's great, because it doesn't matter if they know who you are, if
you're a celebrity or whatever, they treat you in a real normal way, you
know..ah..like for instance last winter when I was at home my
housekeeper sent me to the shop to buy a mop.
DL:  It sounds like you got this deal backward.
NG:  Yeah, *I* get sent to the shop.  She'll hear this in Ireland
tomorrow, you know, and she'll be really cursing me.  But I was coming
back from the shop with this new mop, you know, and I...
DL:  You must have been very proud.
NG:  Yeah, it was great.
DL:  A brand new mop!
NG:  A brand new mop!
DL:  I think you got a new song right there.  (writing) Holy God, I'm
gonna get wealthy - you gotta give me credit for this.
NG:  He's the co-writer...
DL:   (folding paper) David Letterman-Nanci Griffith:  A Brand New Mop.
So what happened with the mop?
NG:  (laughing) Well, I was walking home with it and I was standing on
the street corner and all of a sudden I'm getting pummelled with this
umbrella as this old...elderly lady was beating me with her umbrella and
she said: " Nanci Griffith, you're dangerous wi' dat ting!"  You know,
apparently I had it over my shoulder and I was swinging it back and
forth and bonking people with it, you know...
DL:  Bonking people with it!!
NG:  They don't care if they know who you are...
DL:  (singing) "Bonking people with the brand new mop.."
NG:  Oh write that down, David, that's another one...
DL:  (still singing, now with the band striking up, Nanci and DL ending
up punching the air in time to the beat)  There you go - they don't give
this job to chimpanzees, folks.  We're gonna go to a commercial - we'll
be right back.  (To Nanci) Thank you very much for being...(tape cuts)

So there you have it in its uncensored entirety!  Hope it provided a few
chuckles for you good people out there.

Tony, (happy to get in some typing practice).

Dear Robert,

Thanks for the British idiomatic expression lesson for the day, tee hee...my 
husband, a nice Jewish boy born in the Bronx, uses the verb "to bonk" in his 
vocabulary and although I definitely know the meaning, I sort of always 
thought he'd made it up! Now I know he'd be in good company with that word in 
England!

And yes, it fits perfectly in a Nanci lyric.

I did get to see Letterman's quip about Nanci...I wasn't paying much attention
to the show as I was browsing my flower catalogs, but when I heard that comment

Hi Nanci Fans,

I was fortunate enough to win tickets to a Mary Chapin Carpenter concert last
night.  Though I've been a fan for a very long time, it was my first time
hearing her live.  I just love her voice.  Like Nanci, she wrecks you with the
sad songs and makes you wanna jump and dance (or try to dance) to the fast
ones.  The amazing thing with her is she can play for nearly two hours and all
of her songs are either recognizable because they're so memorable or because
they've been big hits.  It was a fun show with a lot of interplay with the
audience, partly because of her charm and humor, and partly because of a string
of technical problems at the
venue.  She filled time during a technical snafu challenging her back-up
players to sing for us, of which only the very talented keyboardist took her up
on by singing Moon River in a cross between a Snoopy and Donald Duck voice. 
She played two new ballads, moving as ever, and played a very long encore of
four or five songs.  She included in the encore a comedy routine she sang
called Diva - poking hysterical fun at Madonna, Mariah, Celine, and Shania in a
sort of ballet school recital fashion.  

She had the Joom Noon scarves for sale - continuing her support of the Campaign
for a Landmine Free World. During the encore she was hawking the one she was
wearing, so one of the ladies in the audience told her she'd give her a
thousand dollars for it if she'd play This Shirt. Of course, MCC took her up on
it (bless that lady - that's my favorite MCC song), and it was said the woman
ended up getting all the scarves on the stage and then some.

The scarves are all so beautiful.  Even if you don't like to wear scarves they
are big enough and perfect to be used as table runners, and I think you can get
sarongs and other items through the catalog.  The $60 price tag is pretty
reasonable considering they are handmade from hand-died silk cultivated from
home-grown silk worms.  What an operation these landmine victims have set up -
and what beautiful work they do.  I picked up a vibrant one in purples and it
felt so good on all night I wanted to sleep in it!  You can get ordering info.
by writing to joomnoon@vi.org.  More details are on the Peete's web page at

Happy trails,

Julie
