From: Beth Eastwood (BethEastwood@cox.rr.com>
Coming out of lurkdom for this report......
I got to see Nanci last night thanks to John Norton, who
gave me the ticket he was unable to use -- thanks very
much again, John! Nanci sounded great -- I didn't
detect any of the hoarseness Howard heard the night
before. The set list was as follows:
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Clock Without Hands
Two For the Road
These Days In An Open Book
One Blade Shy of a Sharp Edge
There's A Light Beyond These Woods, Mary Margaret
I'm Not Drivin' These Wheels
Shaking Out The Snow
Pearl's Eye View (The Life of Dickey Chappelle)
Boots of Spanish Leather
Where Would I Be?
It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go
Good Night, New York
>From A Distance
Lost In The Sun
Traveling Through This Part of You
The Last Train Home
I Wish It Would Rain
If I Had A Hammer
Outbound Plane (by request)
Freightliner's Blues (encore)
My two favorite Nanci albums are Once In A Very Blue
Moon and Last of the True Believers, so the set list
wasn't precisely as I would have wished for, but it was
a terrific show nonetheless!

Hello all. I am new to this list so please forgive me in advance if I
violate any unwritten rules.
I went to Nanci's show Wednesday night at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA.
For those of you who don't know the venue, it's fairly intimate, seating
1000 people at a sold-out show. Nanci sold out three nights this past week.
And, it was a masterful performance. She was in great voice, engagingly
feisty, and the band was tight. She played a few things from the new album
"Clock Without Hands", "Lost Him In The Sun", but knocked it out of the park
with older material. Like "Outbound Plane" "Mary Margaret" "If I Had A
Hammer" "From A Distance (parts in Espanol)". Trying to recapture the song
list is a little vexing this morning, but trust me, it was terrific.
I particularly liked a new song, "Goodnight New York" which she said was
written by Julie Gold ("From A Distance") on the occasion of Julie's
mother's birthday. It is a remarkable song, and Nanci performs it with
breathtaking eloquence.

Reporting on the concert tonight in Asheville NC:
The set list was pretty typical of recent shows:
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Clock Without Hands
Two For the Road
These Days In An Open Book
There's A Light Beyond These Woods, Mary Margaret
I'm Not Drivin' These Wheels
Shaking Out The Snow
Pearl's Eye View (The Life of Dickey Chappelle)
Where Would I Be?
It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go
Good Night, New York
>From A Distance
Lost In The Sun
Traveling Through This Part of You
The Last Train Home
I Wish It Would Rain
If I Had A Hammer
Freightliner's Blues (encore)
"Last Train Home" is a really funny song. Does Eric Taylor have his name
tattooed across his chest?
Nanci announced that this show was being recorded and would appear
"eventually" on a live CD.
'Twas a good show. I've only seen her twice before tonight, once on the Blue
Roses tour and once on the Dustbowl. She was by far more vital, more vibrant
and alive tonight, and not just because I was sitting on the 3rd row.
When Nanci announced the re-release of her three oldest albums, there was a
good cheer from the crowd. But when she followed that by saying that they've
been performing lots of old songs in concert lately, the audience really let
her know what a good thing that is. I hope it continues. My only beef: she
played a song from "Light Beyond These Woods" and "Once in a Very Blue Moon"
but nothing from "Poet"??? I would have loved to hear anything from it, and
Asheville's quiet mountains are the perfect venue for it.

Dear Carla, Matt, and others:
This is just one man's opinion (and a fat man at that) but some of you have
recommended songs to Molly Prive for her tape-for example "From a Distance,"
"Alabama Soft-Spoken Blues," "The Wing and the Wheel"--but maybe have
forgotten that this is a tape of songs TO DRIVE TO. I'd be worried that
"The Wing and the Wheel" would put a driver into such a reverie that she'd
crash into a tree.

Oh, Carla, "Fly By Night" is a great song and it's on "Last of the True

Hi gang --
Kind of quiet? I've enjoyed the concert reports but there hasn't been too
much discussion lately. Here in Knoxville we're being treated to lots of
Nanci on the radio due to her upcoming show. OVOR seems to be getting the
most spins and that's okay by me! Okay, time for some off topic musings of
the loopier nature:
1. http://www.selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY/ Entertaining little test. I
came out 100% Kant! Surprise!
2. Anyone catch the Grammies? I went 11/12 but who's counting.... (s.e.
grin> Really dug the Steve Vai & Nelly Furtado duet. -- I think Tyminski
blew the lyrics once but Emmylou bailed him out. -- Gotta love Natalie
Maines' comment about Bluegrass. -- So nice of Dylan to add to the cultural
diversity by singing in a foreign language.
3. Just to be fair to Bob, I translated the above paragraph using my
native tongue using this "dialectizer." (But I like the Svedish Chef
version better!) http://rinkworks.com/dialect/
-- "Ennyone ketch th' Grammies? ah went 11 fer 12 but who's

4. A female acquaintance sent me this after I made some comments about the
silver & jade bikini (!!!) in the SI Swimsuit Issue. Women!! Guess I had
it coming:

5. Ever have one of those music binge nights when you find the zone and
stay up all night? I feel into a bluegrass version of "Boy In The Bubble"

explain this!
Take care!

Yes indeed - my yearly opportunity to catch up with the best of what the
non-alt country/folk community (that's the rest of the world) have been
grooving to for the past year.
This has to have been the best Grammies yet, IMO. The quality of the R n' B
stuff was exceptional - Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, Nelly Furtado and others.
The latin thingy with Destiny's Child was also superb, and I even enjoyed
the boy groups' material this time around.
And what can you say about 'our' segment, culminating with that version of
'..Constant Sorrow'? Wasn't that sublime? Ass-kicking, indeed!
> So nice of Dylan to add to the cultural diversity by singing

Ha ha - I'd make that 'inter-galactic diversity', lol! He just isn't with
the rest of us, is he?? Despite my hero-worship of the man for decades, I'd
have to admit to being nonplussed (it's hard to find the right word here) at
some of his material and performances since around 1987. You'd have to
admit, he still has a 'presence', though, which keeps the eyes glued to the
screen, even if only for comic effect:)
It's strange that this year I found myself liking a lot of the musical
genres I'd normally find it hard to raise much interest in, and indifferent
to erstwhile faves like Bob and U2. I mean, the U2 album isn't bad, but
it's fairly pedestrian mainstream rock (been there, heard all that before)
compared with some of the other material featured in the show. Perhaps it's
a case of 'I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now!'
Yeah right - dream on, huh?!
What also struck me is how far ahead of the rest of the pack contemporary
American music now is. There was a time when the Brits and the Irish had
enough quality acts to compete (wrong word, but still...) on level terms,
but it seems that nowadays only Canada is producing acts of the quality and
originality to compare with the US, with only very few notable contributions
from 'the old world' and Australia/NZ combined. So much for the theory that
over-commercialisation has killed off creativity.

Expect another concert report after tonight! My wife and I are getting

wife. Just trying to decide whether to wear every piece of Nanci related
memorabilia I have to catch Nanci's attention or will that cause her to
avoid me at all costs? I think maybe I'd better dress sedately and put on a

Hey, Charlie, it's nice to know someone else shares my pleasure in that
particular number, short, simple and direct. You're right, I've been on this
list almost since the start, and I don't recall ever seeing it mentioned,
and she's certainly never sung it in any concert I've been to.
Coupled with Mike B's paean of praise to Poet in My Window (also probably my
favourite too, Mike) just makes me wish we could all turn the clock back a
few years. If only...

From: "Mike Barrett" mikebarrettuk@hotmail.com
Interesting one, "Time Alone" - yes, a lovely song and it is surprising that
Nanci never seems to have sung it in concert on any sort of regular basis,
if at all. It has one of those wonderful lines that stay in the mind -
"You can fool yourself and you can fool your dreams, but you can't fool your
heart and you can't fool me".
I have a 1983 radio show where she sings this song in the studio, and she
introduces it as "The Grace of True Love Ways" with the lyrics being
slightly different to the recorded version.
Perhaps we should be grateful that she did put it on an album - there are
several first class songs from that era that seem to have vanished. On that
same radio show for instance she sings two numbers that she says will be on
the next album (OIAVBM), her own "Tappan Zee" and Eric Taylor's "I Hear
Nevada".
And at a 1985 concert she sings a number of songs from the forthcoming LOTTB
and includes her great "Roll You Colorado", which never made it to an album
either. Then there's "Toronto Rain" from 1985 as well. Fine songs that
just got left out, and Nanci had probably moved on by the time another album
was being made, with newer material to record.
And if they HAD appeared on OIAVBM or LOTTB, I suppose it would have been at
the expense of something else.....

Wow, Mike. I didn't know Nanci had so many songs that have never been
released. Sounds like she may have an entire CD of unreleased (but hopefully
recorded) material. Maybe she has a great "old" record sitting in the
vaults, like the first CD from Bruce Springsteen's "Tracks". And maybe we'll
all get to hear it some day.

For those who like their females singers to be real, haved lived a little,
and who write vivid tales of life, love and other short stories, then there
is a tour crossing the U.K. right now that will appeal to all those
sensibilities.
Nashville songwriters JOY LYNN WHITE & SUZI RAGSDALE are 3 dates in to a 13
date tour and playing to rave reviews.
JOY is not dissimilar to Patty Griffin, but has a stronger voice, great
stage persona, fiery temperament and songs ploughing a furrow somewhere
close to Lucinda Williams. She is definitely her own woman. SUZI wraps her
tones around blues, gospel, rock and down-home tales of life in the South.
When they harmonise together the goosebumps begin to rise and there is
simply magic in the air.
Miss these women at your peril.

Date: Sun, 03 Mar 2002 19:11:45 -0500
From: Mike Chesman (chesman@preferred.com>
Nanci's concert in Knoxville last night (March 2nd) was the best I've
seen (but only been to two others). She looked great and her voice was
clear and strong. The variety of songs was a nice mix of new and old. The
set list included all the tunes listed below and I'm not exactly sure about
the order but it's close...
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Clock Without Hands
Two For the Road
Gulf Coast Highway
Flyer
These Days In An Open Book
There's A Light Beyond These Woods
I'm Not Drivin' These Wheels
Where Would I Be
Pearl's Eye View
Where Would I Be
It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go
Good Night New York
>From A Distance
Lost Him In The Sun
Armstrong
Traveling Through This Part of You
I Wish It Would Rain
Last Train Home
If I Had A Hammer
Freightliner's Blues
As you can see it was similar to the list of other recent concerts with
a few changes thrown in. Flyer was in response to an audience request. I
was hoping to hear Shakin Out The Snow live but it was not among the songs
performes. Nanci announced that this was the final show in the Clock
Without Hands Tour. Those of you that will see her in April and later are
obviously going to see a new show. Her comments before the songs were fun
but nothing bordering on the long captivating stories that introduce her
songs on the One Fair Summer Evening CD.
Folks were delighted whenever an older song was performed. She talked
about the release of her early records and specifically made mention of the
fact that they contained some new photos and bonus CUTS from the same
period. I emphasize this because to my knowledge there is only the one new
song on Poet In My Window and yet she definitely implied that it was more
than one. Could it be that some planned bonus material was shelved? By
the way, I really liked her performance of TALBTW. Her vocal phrasing
brought so much emotion to the lyrics. It was far better than any of her
recorded versions. She joked that the Julie Gold number Good Night New York
will probably be a hit for Bette Midler in about 5 years and then followed
it with a sterling performance of From A Distance. The band played great
and the harmonies were gorgeous. I always prefer Nanci's less rocking tunes
and ballads but Chas Williams guitar playing was a joy to listen to. The
whole group really cooks on numbers like These Days In An Open Book.
After the concert my wife and I hung around for a bit to see if any of
the band members were coming out to meet fans. I did see Pat McInerney come
out briefly but he was with a group of folks that had passes and were about
to be escorted backstage. As usual the theater staff asked the rest of
about a dozen of us to head out of the theater. I was surprised to find
that acquaintance of mine was working at the Theater (unknown to me before
the concert). He was part of the crew that would be loading out the
equipment and said that on a few occasions he had gotten to speak with
previous bands. His best experience was with Ian Anderson and other members
of Jethro Tull. On an outside chance I left him with an Other Voices Too
album flat that I brought along in case there was an autograph opportunity.
Of course, the real wish was to see Nanci for just 15 seconds and personally
say "thanks for all the year's of great music."

From: "David Mahaffey" (musemaker@hotmail.com>
At the Asheville concert on Friday night, I was treated to a strange
interpretation of "Shaking Out The Snow," complete with complex hand
gestures and much swaying on the part of Nanci Griffith. Is this how she's
been performing the song throughout the tour? Maybe it was to compensate for
the fact that there was no falling snow at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.
I found it a poor interpretation of a wonderful song. The hand gestures
reduced the song to a campy level, robbing it of most of its integrity. The
vocal performance was much less harsh than the recorded version, but the
growl of "hurricane through Florida" was even more pronounced. I liked the
enhanced growl, hated the soft vocals. Somewhere between the two versions
there is a happy medium, I think.

Hi,
Firstly, as a first post, may I just say a big hi and even bigger thank you
to everyone on the NanciNet. You people really brighten up my day at the
office when I should be working but instead read all about our mutual friend
and what you folks have been up to. Thanks also for the music
recommendations you've made. I tell you, I've never owned so many good
tunes. By the way, my bank manager wants serious words with the lot of you!
Also, being a regular Nanci concert goer, I also listen to the songs - which
I understand she selects - that play as we troop in and troop out of her
concerts. They're always great, whoever selects them, but there was this
one song I've heard a couple of times now, and I love it, but I haven't the
first clue who's singing. Would you help? It's sung by woman and contains
a load of lyrics about rivers. Here's some that I can remember (though
they're not necessarily in the right order!)
'...and the river she flows, flows on to Denver, coming round the bend,
where she meets a friend, and the two of them flow, flow on together, til
they reach the sea, I wish I was a river (Lord), and the river was me.'
Probably horrifically jumbled/made up by me, there, but does anyone know
who's the singer?

As others may have already pointed out it is probably Bill and Bonnie Hearne
from their album Diamonds In The Rough. Nanci used to perform this song in
the early days of her career. By the way, the lady singing backing vocals
on Bonnie's version is Nanci.

Bill and Bonnie Hearne's CD "Diamonds In the Rough." This CD can be ordered
through Bill and Bonnie's web site:

Bill and Bonnie have been heroes to Nanci for years. In fact, she dedicated
OVOR to them.
Please contact me if you have any difficulty with this.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Harlan Howard, the songwriter whose country music
classics included the Patsy Cline hit "I Fall to Pieces" and the
Grammy-winning "Busted" sung by Ray Charles, died Sunday. He was 74.
More than 100 of his songs reached the Billboard country singles Top 10. In
1961 he had 15 songs on the country charts at the same time, a record that
still stands. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997.
Howard's early hits included "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail, " co-written and
sung by Buck Owens. More recently, he wrote "Why Not Me? " for The Judds and
"Blame it on Your Heart" for Patty Loveless. "Busted" also was sung by
others including Johnny Cash and John Conlee.

Subject: NN: Bravo's Best of Broadway -- Absolutely NO Nanci content

Last night, the Bravo! TV channel (cable or satellite) broadcast a new show
called "Broadway's Best." The show featured pop singers performing some of
their favorite showtunes. Among the performers were George Benson, The Bacon
Brothers, Shawn Colvin, Linda Eder, Cyndi Lauper, Mandy Moore, Joan Osborne,
Adam Pascal, Darius Rucker, Jill Scott, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Daphne R. Vega,
Loudon Wainwright and Trisha Yearwood.
I must admit to ignorance concerning some of these performers...I had never
heard of Vega, Pascal, Scott, Moore, or Sigler. But I was impressed with the
talents of all of them. Mandy Moore was outstanding Sigler was wonderful.
For me, the highlights were the performances of Yearwood and Eder. Trisha
sang "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "What I Did for Love," and just blew me
away. The inimitable Linda Eder gave us "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and
"Don't Rain on My Parade." And Shawn Colvin did a heart-wrenching version
of "Try to Remember."
According to their website, Bravo! will rebroadcast the show this Saturday
evening (March 9), at 10:00 PM Eastern time.
