Dear Nanci-Netters,

Hello!

Le Ann Etheridge here, rhythm guitarist and vocalist with The Blue Moon
Orchestra. 

I'd like to invite you all to visit my new website at
http://www.leannetheridge.com

Here, you can learn a little bit more about me and my musical history before
I joined the BMO. You can also find out about my latest CD entitled "Half a
World Away" produced by Pat McInerney and Clive Gregson (they both play on
it, as well).  

"Half a World Away" features ten of my songs along with two of my favorite
cover tunes, "Some of Shelly's Blues" and "Blue Red & Grey".  We also had
Nanci, Hooker and Ron de la Vega help us on a few tracks.  Needless to say,
I'm very proud of this project and happy to let you know of its existence.  

I hope you will visit me on the Web soon!  Thanks for your time!  See you
out on the road!

Le Ann

Is this band old news for everyone? Described by some reviewers as 
sounding like 'early Nanci Griffith' (I think they just sound like 
themselves actually) they are a great band of three young women from 
Vancouver. I saw them play live in Bristol, UK last week and they were 
great: talented and funny and with wonderful songs. I recommend them.

I have been enjoying the trio's "Blue Horse" CD for several months now and I
would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the work of Gillian Welch or Iris 
Dement.

   From: Ed Maier (evmaier@sbcglobal.net>

CMT cable has begun rebroadcasting the Austin City Limits series.
Tonight is the first ACL ever made; the 1975 Willie Nelson show.
It is a much younger Willie, and the hole he's worn with his pick
in the top of his guitar is still fairly small. The shows will be
broadcast on CMT Fridays; 8:00 PM CT. Not a bad show, either. There
may yet be some hope for CMT. Can't wait for some of the NG shows
to be rebroadcast.

[on another list] Steve reported on the 'rockabilly' women of the 50's 
and 60's. Here in the U.K. we have just witnessed an extraordinary tour 
featuring two modern-day songwriting women, namely the flame-haired and 
subliminaly talented Joy Lynn White, with the equally talented Suzi Ragsdale.

Their set each night lasted the best part of two and a half hours, the 
crowds went nuts and no two shows were the same, due the vast array of 
material they have at their disposal. One critic here had compared Joy to 
Patty Griffin, by the end of the tour the concensus was that not only did 
Joy sing better than Patty, but her songs were stronger too. If you 
haven't really latched on to this incredible talent yet, check out her 
website at: www.joylynnwhite.com  

Of course the Nanci link is that Nanci sang on Joy's second CBS release 
"Wild Love" back in her hard-country, honky-tonkin' days back in 1994. 
Now she is very much a modern-day singer-songwriter as her new, only 
available at gigs and from the website, cd, "On Her Own - Demos 2002" 
clearly, and rather fabulously, demonstrates.

Suzi is also a fine, fine writer, whose bluesy vocals and combination of 
gospelly, bluesy, appalachian, folk-country, should appeal to all who 
frequent these lists. Anyone who has a copy of Guy Clark's live cd, 
"Keepers" can check Suzi out. Her picture is on the back of the cd 
booklet as she sang harmony and played the accordian at the gigs recorded 
for the cd. She has sung on many of Guy's cd's, as well as writing the 
title track of Suzy Bogguss's "Something Up My Sleeve" cd. Solo they were 
tremendous, together with their ability to harmonise like few other acts, 
they were simply formidable.

We were lucky to witness 12 shows here in the U.K. I personally got to 5 
of them, and rarely have I been as moved by people's music, as much as 
these two wonderful women moved me. Check them out if the opportunity 
arises. If you want real singer-songwriting from someone who writes it 
like she lives it, get "On Her Own" from Joy's website. I guarantee it 
will intoxicate you, and leave you wanting more.

Keeping y'all informed.

Subject: NN: Paul Simon DVD - opinions, anyone? (NNC)
   Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 18:16:20 -0500
   From: Tony Cox (tonycox@pacific.net.au>

Just a call to the most musically cluey people in the
universe (that's you all on the NN) to give me a bit of
advice on what to spend the remaining few bucks on (by the
end of March) to qualify for a freebie at my local record
store.  I was thinking of the Paul Simon DVD, You're The
One, a recent live show from Paris.  If anyone has seen it
and thinks it's the bizzo, or alternatively that it's a real
stinker, I'd be very grateful for your opinion (off-list,
perhaps would be best).

Many thanks.
Tony
