Saw a couple of concerts last weekend. Music was pretty good. Met
some nice people. Atlanta was too damn hot. Had good Chicken Marsala.
Experienced two and one half days that I will cherish forever.

I did not make the Nanci concert on Friday.
It was magical on Saturday night with Kate and Tricia Walker. They did
about a 2-1/2 hour set. Both were "loose" and just stood and sat on stage
and talked to us about their music and recent travels. Kate didn't sing
EVERY song she's recorded, but it must've been MOST of them. She was in
great voice and Tricia sounded fine on the backup harmony stuff. Their
playing was great, too. I think they probably had about as much fun as we
did. During the intermission and after the show, both Kate and Tricia did a
lot of visiting with the faithful in attendance.
Kate announced that she is about to sign another recording contract and that
there will be a new CD forthcoming before too long. Also, the company is
going to pick up distribution of "Wandering Strange". She also said that
Large River Music is out of "Songs From the Levee" and "Moonpie Dreams" but
they are still available from Compass.
Wish you coulda been there!

From: "Block, Sascha" (sascha@b-there.com>
Here I am, back in CT & inspired to delurk after 4+ years wherein your
collective advice took us to CA (Kate Wolf Fest), Merlefest (thanks, Mr.
Kimbro) & on more than a few other musical flights of fancy (live & on
recordings). And most recently, to Atlanta...
As a dyed-in-the-wool northerner, I was intrigued, concerned & finally
enthralled by the strange dining customs at Chastain. Concern mainly that
the clicking of silverware against fine china, the clinking of crystal wine
goblets, might drown out the music. But the soaring strains of the orchestra
put those fears to rest. And the candles sure looked nice.
Nanci stepped out on stage, relaxed & radiant, after a couple of short
pieces by the orchestra, in a BCBG outfit given to her last summer when she
played a women's health benefit in New York's Central Park (opening for
Chris Isaak, oddly enough). The designer, a sponsor, had invited her to
choose an ensemble & her choice was a black gossamer sparkly pinafore type
thing over cropped white pants & a white tank. She also wore one of the
famous Joom Noon scarves in iridescent peacock blue. Lee's scarf was
burgundy with a purple stripe. Enough fashion details?
If the set list has already been posted (I'm a digester) please leave behind
what you don't need:
1. Trouble in these Fields
2. Love at the Five & Dime, dedicated to Lee Satterfield for her farewell
performance with BMO & to her husband John Mock, Nanci's orchestral arranger
and master Irish whistle-player. Nanci mentioned that this is on her latest
CD, which will be her latest for a couple more years... But then, y'all
know, she continually surprises us.
3. These Days in an Open Book - dedicated to Emily of Indigo Girls, who was
in the audience.
4. Nobody's Angel - for Erin, celebrating her birthday (as well as did Nanci
the previous day)
5. Gulf Coast Highway - just splendid! I should mention, the amazing Clive
Gregson, of Richard Thompson fame, was filling in on guitar throughout the
concert, and played as if he'd been with BMO all his life.
6. Drops in a Faucet
7. Traveling thru this Part of You - the song Nanci wrote last January while
touring the VVAF medical facilities for landmine victims in Vietnam.
Dedicated to Eric Taylor ("whose experience in Vietnam in 69 nearly
destroyed him, and for every Viet Nam veteran in the audience"_NG)
8. Emily of IG joined the crew on stage for If I Had a Hammer (Pete Seeger,
1948), the song Nanci played for Ambassador Pete Peterson in Vietnam.
"Support a landmine free world"_NG
---Intermission---
9. Always Will
10. Not my Way Home - introduced by Nanci as her favorite song of hers, and
decicated to Sonny & the Crickets. I always think of Tupelo Honey (another
favorite of my own) when I hear this as I think they were both inspired by
the same Celtic magic.
11. Outbound Plane - my first NG "hit" which propelled me to buy Little Love
Affairs, my first of her recordings, then everything before & since. Still
always a thrill.
12. It's a Hard Life - "for Grandma Sue, who passed on last year at 101"
Lifted to the heavens by John Mock's astounding flute.
13. Late Night Grand Hotel - which Nanci announced as the only song she ever
wrote on piano (with just her right hand happening, as we know)
14. Tell Me How - which she had sung on stage in Mason City, IA for the 40th
anniversary of Buddy Holly's last performance, and now the song is "back out
on the streets!"
15. Wing & a Wheel - "I recorded this so many times, I've decided it should
be on every album from now on"_NG. Always a new twist - "all the way to
southeast Asia for a landmine free world"
16. This Heart - traditional west Texas trailer trash intro, and written for
her Crickets.
Then --- "A built in encore, because there are too many of us" to get off &
back on stage...
17. Wall of Death - I can only describe Nanci here as triumphant.
18. Her anthem whenever in Georgia & "No one sings it like J Hooker" - Going
back to Georgia. A real crowd pleaser without a doubt!
On this last tune, Le Ann Etheridge joined Lee in finger-clicking duties &
Nanci introduced her as the incoming BMO matriarch.
Of course, we didn't want to let them offstage, but it was time for their
own cold beers...A magnificent night.
I'm sorry we had to fly back to NYC the very next morning & we didn't get to
meet any of you or enjoy the amazing Saturday, but perhaps some of you will
be in Colorado for the Folks Festival? We'll be there & if we're not too
shy, we'll look for you.
Thanks for opening so many musical doors with your generous postings about
the music we all love.
Sorry for the long post; I guess I'm making up for lost time,

Sascha,
Thanks for that great post and concert review for the rest of us who missed all
the shenanigans and music in Atlanta.
What a shame we won't be hearing Lee and her many talents with Nanci anymore,
but I hope that means she'll be working on a record of her own. The blow is
softened knowing Lee Ann Etheridge, who sings like an angel and plays, will be
taking her place.
234 days and 8 hours to go until Nanci plays in San Diego.

This is discouraging. Maybe there is some writer's block. Oh well, as you

What is it with Nanci so much confusion from Lee to Lee Ann?
I think that is is really sad that lee S. will no longer be a regular in the
BMO. Has she left to persue a solo career? That lessens the blow a little
if it is so. She is such a talented musican.
As for Lee Ann E. I have seen her perform with Nanci before in Glasgow,
about four years ago. She stood in for Lee S. who was away donating a
Kidney to her mother. Lee Ann has done some pretty good harmony vocals on
at least two of nanci's albums
(BRFTM and DBS). Is she not married to Ron De LA Vega?
I am sure it will take a bit of getting used to -never mind - as long as
Nanci continues. Does anyone know anything about her coming back to the UK
in September?

I just had to say how wonderful it was being in Atlanta and having the
privilege to meet so many of you that I often see posting on the
Nanci-Net list. I must admit that I felt a little timid to begin with
because I'm not a regular "poster" (I LOVE MUSIC, just don't have enough
talent to share). But everyone I met was so warm and nice. I,
Unfortunally, was at the mercy of my friend with whom I was staying. I
was later Sat. than I wanted to be (and missed sooooo much good music)
and quite honestly could not get her to agree to come to the RED LIGHT
Saturday night. I've since come up with a thousand way I could have
made it. Never the less, it was a beautiful weekend. Mr. Kimbro, You
and your family are amazing (when is your CD coming out?). Mr. Page,
thanks for the conversation (even if I'm not that person you thought
you'd met before :) You are a true gentleman and I'm so glad you and
your family were able to come. Vince Bell (Isn't his wife a
SWEETHEART???) was just incredible. He has a new huge fan in me. To
the rest of you guys, it was so nice putting faces with names (I made
Bill tell me who you all were!!!). Last but not least, Steve, we are
all indebted to you for the job you did. A big standing ovation from
the whole list is in order.
May Nanci sing until she's 102. What a wonderful way to meet new
friends....

Hi folks: I am still on a high from having met so many wonderful folks
from the Nancinet. These our indeed "friends out in the madness." I
have never met so many caring and considerate people in one place. My
wife pointed out how we had only met for the first time and it was if
we were with close friend. The music was marvelous opening with out
hero Nanci at the Amphitheater and later with the many acts later on at
the Red Light Cafe. I think I finally have an idea of what heaven must
be like. Kate Campbell is by the way an extraordinarily warm and kind
performer. The reason I am not mentioning Nancinetters by name is that
I am afraid I may forget someone and each is so dear to me. You all
know who you are and I give you all a warm thank yew, Jim Troiano

"Those people are so NICE!" Special cudos to their new adopted Uncle
Steve Robertson, to Bill Page, Shawn Kimbro and the kind folks who
made room for all of us when we showed up at the last minute for the
Kate Campbell show. Nanci was terrific, first time we've seen her,
she did all the tunes we were hoping to hear. Jeanna and the girls
were quite taken with Kate, even though we had to depart at the break
because of kiddie sleepiness. I bought some new cd's and have a list
of Kate, Vince, and Kevin cd's to get. Gotta get the Kimbros' when it
comes out, them boys (and Mom) can rock it.

Yo, Netters and Moonpie folk:
As an local who missed Nanci Friday night and most of the Saturday afternoon
entertainment, Sascha's wonderful review of Nanci's Chastain show Friday
night was very welcome and very well done. Always interesting to get a
visitors' impressions of peculiarly Atlantan institutions like Chastain Park
and the OFR was absolutely superb, not to mention the musical reporting.
Sascha, please delurk more often! Like everyone else, I am sorry to see Lee
Satterfield leave the BMO. She is such a superb musician and seemingly a
genuinely nice person as well. Good luck to her, whatever she does and
welcome to the newest member of Nanci's cadre...
I did see Nate Calhoun at the Kate show Saturday night and he had attended
Nanci's concert on Friday -- said it was wonderful and better than last
year's. Nate and Gordon and I had tried to hook up for that show but never
quite managed it. Nate did came up with the three choice seats for last
October's Athens show where Nanci flashed Gordon the big "Hook 'Em Horns"
hand sign that almost caused him to leap out of the balcony. Hadn't heard
from Nate since then, so it was a delight to see him in the crowd Saturday
night and to hear him detail Nanci's performance on Friday. Always a big
smile from Nate.
We got to the Red Light on Saturday as Kevin Montgomery was finishing his
set. I had heard Kevin on tape before and even this short bit of live
performance was sufficient to reinforce the shiver that special music gives
you when you first start picking up on it. And as a couple of the gents have
alluded to, Kevin's fiddle player is indeed a beautiful young woman with a
matching musical gift. But hey, ladies, from where I sat, these two are a
perfectly matched set, although in diametric opposition. Kevin looks like he
just stepped out of a Calvin Klein ad or a Renaissance painting. He
introduced himself to me on his way out and I had a hard time letting go of
his hand ;)
Of course, that was after I'd already been completely blindsided and disarmed
by the grace and radiance of Vince Bell, which is going to require a separate
post. His wife, Sarah Wrightson, is an absolute gem as well -- if I had
driven down there and only had time to converse briefly with the two of them
it would have been more than worth it...
It's as hard to describe the feeling of goodwill and friendship that existed
in that "crazy old bar" as it is to describe milling about among these
extraordinary musicians and all the NNers and Moonpiers -- people I've known
and yet not known and some extraordinary musicians in their own right --
while Kate Campbell did her sound check on that dingy stage without bothering
to clear us all out. Part of it was the 4,000+ mile trip I'd just made to
Maine and back, but part of it was just the surreal quality of the gathering.
That said, any omission of persons I met and conversed with is truly
unintentional.
Sound checks done, Vince, Sarah and Kevin's group headed out, as did the
Kimbro clan and I'm sure some others. Kate C. and her back-up, Tricia
Walker, went to Babette's for supper, others scattered to the wind, and a
group of us went to dinner at Camille's, an Italian place that required only
one right turn from the Red Light to get there. Gordon and I were honored to
join Jim and Wendy Troiano, Bill and Sue Peete, Deb Thornton, Donna Little
and her sister, Jennifer LeCroy, Kenn Lippert and Amy McKibben. It was
great, except I was worrying how badly the Atlanta cooks would screw up Bill
and Sue's salmon! And I truly felt bad for everyone from cooler places,
because it was so darned hot. The conversation around that table would
probably have been incomprehensible to most trying to decipher it, but many
ideas ebbed and flowed, much music was discussed and good will, along with
growing exhaustion and mounting anticipation, reigned supreme. You guys are
all super! It was also great to meet Bill and Dawn-Marie and their daughter
Christy. Our list-dude and his family are good folk, y'all!
(Insert note here -- I once saw a hand-painted sign in Creede, Colorado that
said this: "Welcome to Creede, 506 Nice Folks and 17 Soreheads." With
respect to the party(ies) complaining to Bill and Donna about the minute
gesture of thanks made to Bill in comparison to all of his hard work to keep
these lists going, I would venture to say that this same homily applies.
Shawn's two words were well-chosen, but many other couplets would readily fit
that same sentiment.>
Finally it was time for the Kate Campbell show and we went back to the Red
Light. Although I could barely take my eyes off of her, it was great to
occasionally look around at other NNers and Moonpiers and see the joy in
their eyes as this extraordinary young woman sang her heart out. As Bill
Page said, the details of her show are hard for me to remember and unlike my
usual anal self, I didn't even pretend to try to write anything down. She
sang forever, almost everything I could think of and closed with a medley of
gospel songs as only she could conceive them from her latest CD, "Wandering
Strange." I really thought she might levitate, towards the end of that.
Tricia Walker was fabulous and responded gamely and professionally to Kate's
many improvisations and changes in direction. Other highlights for me were
Wild Iris, Lanterns on the Levee, Bury Me in Bluegrass, When Panthers Roamed
in Arkansas, See Rock City, Tupelo's Too Far and Sing Me Out. Afterward,
she stuck around and signed autographs and talked to folks for I don't know
how long. I was so wired at that point that Gordon decided I needed to go
home, although I did talk to Kate briefly and get her to autograph the liner
notes of my copy of "Moonpie Dreams."
Oddest thing, though; there were two chairs, front row, that no one would sit
in. I finally decided they were being occupied by the essence of the most
obvious missing members from across the pond. :)
One more big round of applause for Steve Robertson. If you ever wanted to
know the definition of a true Southern gentleman, you have now seen that
genuine article. Thanks Steve, for your hard work and perseverance in
putting together this great time.
To everyone else, it was so great to meet you in person. Some I only met
briefly, like Justin and Linda Marquez, Robert Juliano and Mary Littleton,
but it was no less pleasant for the brevity.
Cate, still jazzed, in Atlanta

Cate, that is a wonderful report of Saturday's music in Atlanta. It made
me feel like I was there (well I was in spirit) and I am absolutely
delighted to read the positive responses to the music Kevin and Vince
provided, not only from you, but from the others who witnessed their
performances. I laughed out loud at your description of Kevin, you've
never had the privilege of seeing him roll out in the mornings, believe
me, three weeks on the road with him back in April, was not a pretty
sight!!! But it was a whole lot of fun.
It's great to read that the friendships within the group once again
blossomed through the music of last weekend.

I want to make sure everyone is aware of the contribution John Graveling
made to last Saturday's little party in Atlanta. Even though he couldn't
make it across the pond early enough to join us, he was instrumental in
arranging for Kevin Montgomery and Vince Bell to be there. He was solely
responsible for Kevin's appearance, and I understand he helped Sarah
Wrightson convince Vince to make the trip.
Only a few people know that John did join us for a few minutes by way of
trans-atlantic cell phone! John has been telling us about Kevin's talent
for a long time. Hearing Kevin's latest CD- "Another Long Story"- and
hearing him live has made a believer out of me. The fiddler he brought
along is Ashley Brown- who did an amazing job even though they had never
played together before. I think I'll move to Nashville so I can take
fiddle lessons from her ;-) Y'all be sure to go to Kevin's website to
learn more:
http://www.kevinmontgomery.com/
I imagine most of you already have Vince Bell's website bookmarked, but
you ought to make a return visit:
http://www.mindspring.com/~vincebell/
All of you folks who were brave enough to climb up on that stage
Saturday gave us a full day of great music. The house was full for Kate
Campbell's show, and we had a good crowd during the afternoon, but there
were a few empty seats. My only regret is that a few more people could
have joined us during the afternoon, but their seats remained empty.
They don't know what they missed!

Well, I love John...but I think you have to give yourself most of the
credit Steve...you made it sound so wonderful, a can't be missed event,
which indeed it was. And then Shawn was going to play and MC...I mean,
who could resist within a 500 mile radius????

Well Steve I am touched by your kind words. I joined these lists to share
great music with like minded souls, and if I helped a little in making
Saturday a good day for music, then that's what it's all about.
I know Vince and Kevin were pleased with their receptions, I have spoken
with both of them since, and I hear Shawn impressed them with his playing
(way to go bro' Kimbro!!!).
It's been a great three years since I joined the lists and I've ruffled a
few feathers, and made some great friendships in that time. Let's hope
the good feelings that prevail go on for a long time, and we continue to
share in the wonder of great music.

Rosalie Sorrels, The Iguanas, Yonder Mountain String Band
Sat 9/2/00 Yosemite, CA Strawberry Music Festival

Does anybody have any idea if this is true?
If it is true it would be great, it would be the second time for me to see

From: nmrs@freeway.net
I just can't wait to see Nanci on Thursday night! I love Interlochen
anyway so this will just make it so wonderful. Reading about her recent
performances has just gotten me enthusiasm cranked up that much more. I
was lucky enough to see her at Villa Montalvo (with Iris DeMent!) last
summer when I went out West to see my siblings but my husband hasn't
seen her perform live yet except for about 3 minutes at the Ark one
night...not nearly enough.
Nanci is clearly my favorite but I have also been listening to some
others; one of those is Trisha Yearwood. My daughter bought her latest
CD and I put it in and have had it in a lot since. I know she sings
other people's music but I just like the way she does it and I do think
she knows how to pick music. I also like LeeAnn Womack's CD. I too am
not a real country fan at heart but I will listen to whatever sounds
good and strikes a chord in me.
Hope other Nancinetters show up at Interlochen!

Hi Gang,
This may be "old hat" to you knowledgeable folk on the NN, but I thought
I'd pass it on anyway - from the description of the music on her newly
set-up website (link below) it sounds like the sort of thing more than a
few of us might enjoy. Haven't heard her yet myself, but after reading
this rave review by the head honcho of the Melanie site, I thought it might
be worth sharing.

Melanie's Beautiful People - http://www.patswayne.com/melanie/
Hi folks,
I have discovered a wonderful "new" singer (or actually, she discovered me
through my Melanie website). Her name is Marisha MacRae, and I am helping
her set up an "official" website. I was going to wait until her official
site is done before spreading the word, but I just can't wait! She sent me
one of her CD's, and I was blown away the first time I listened to it! She
is GOOD! I have made a test website for her using some of my web space,
which you can see here:
http://www.patswayne.com/macrae/
You'll see in the About section that she sites Melanie as one of her
influences, and in fact, one of her life ambitions is to sing backup for
Melanie in one of her concerts. The information in that About section is
from a press release.
I'll be adding some audio clips to the site when I get them done, so check
back later.
-- Pat

I agree with the comments on Judith Edelman. I have not heard the new CD
but I have her first two and they are excellent, sort of a fusion of
folk and bluegrass. I saw her live along with Alison Brown in Savannah,
Georgia at a small bookstore/cafe, which was a very intimate setting. It
was a great concert. Two great acts and all for only $5. I look forward
to hearing her new CD.
I also just got my tickets ordered for the Philadelphia Folk
Festival for the Sunday afternoon show which features Nanci, Mollie
O'Brien and Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer.=

Well, until Nanci gets to writing a Bill Page /Dawn
