This double cd is due out on the 17th of June.  46 tracks in total and 
while
it supposedly has three unissued tracks, two of these are almost 
certainly
in the majority of Nanci collections - "Wooden Heart" and "Tumble and 
Fall",
both of them having appeared on UK cds.

The one genuine unissued track is called "Stand Your Ground", and is
apparently an "anti-war anthem".

Surely only the obsessive collector and completist will want to buy a 
double
cd to get one new track...(yes, I'll be buying it on 17th June!)

Ok, so I'm officially freaking out!  I just happened to be browsing 
Nanci's
website under the tour section and there it was:  July 12, Memphis, TN!

She's opening for the Cheiftains at Shelby Farms. That sounds like an
amazing concert. How fun!

Ok, so I've still got my NN button---who's meeting me there?

on Rosalie Sorrels. The segment included comments from Christine Lavin 
and a
few measures of a song about a Ford Econoline...

Lizzie has one of those voices you just can't get rid of- it's 
infectious
and she has great songwriting talents. The title track alone is worth 
the
price.

Me:
I concur! Just bought this one last week. Lizzie sounds like Natalie
Merchant if she smoke 3 packs of Kools a day. Great Voice! A couple 
songs
are a tad New Agey/crunchy granola for me but most are a great listen.

Subject: NN: Nanci wafting on the wind and Top 100 Country songs
    Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2003 12:25:16 -0700 (PDT)
    From: "Tanyalita" (tanyalitatoo@yahoo.com>

Hi ya'll,

Has anyone else seen this list yet?  I've pasted the top ten here and 
you
can read the rest of the list at cnn.com:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/05/countrys.best.ap/index.html

1. "Stand by Your Man" by Tammy Wynette
2. "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones
3. "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson
4. "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash
5. "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams
6. "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks
7. "I Fall to Pieces" by Patsy Cline
8. "Galveston" by Glen Campbell
9. "Behind Closed Doors" by Charlie Rich
10. "Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be
     Cowboys" by Waylon Jennings, Willie

I think "Friends in Low Places" ranked a bit too high even though that 
song
did singlehandedly bring country music (of a kind I suppose) to a whole
generation. (Honestly I got sick of hearing it in every bar back in
college.) I suspect that every single country music fan will have a 
bone to
pick with the list.  I certainly do but these lists are always totally
screwy.  For instance, how could they possibly leave off "You Never Even
Call Me by my Name," by David Allen Coe?

In all seriousness, the lack of any songs by the titans of Austin
alt-country(Guitar Man by Steve Earle for instance) shows how off-base 
most
of the selections are (Breathe by Faith Hill isn't even a country song 
in my
opinion.)

To get to the Nanci content, about two weeks ago my husband and I were
unpacking all the camping gear from the truck after a few days hiking 
down
in the San Rafael Swell.  It was a windy afternoon and sounds were 
carrying
kind of funny.  I could hear Nanci singing away.  It turned out that 
one of
my neighbors was listening to "Last of the True Believers."  I wanted so
badly to walk up and down the street until I could find which house the
music was coming from to find out who had such good taste and introduce
myself. But I figured that would freak whoever it was out especially 
since I
was covered in weird bug bites and tons of dirt and dust. It wasn't that
crazy of an idea though.  I actually made a good friend about five 
years ago
because she was walking past my apartment, heard Rusted Root, and 
knocked on
the door to see who was listening to her most favorite band in the whole
wide world.

cheers,
Tanya

Subject: NN: Kate Campbell house concert in Beaumont, TX
    From: JBollich@aol.com
    Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2003 23:25:38 EDT

Hi people --
      We just got back from hearing Kate Campbell in a concert hosted in 
a
friend's back yard, and enjoyed her so much! I was pleased that my 
teen-age
kids liked her right away, bought her CDs and asked her to autograph 
them
during the intermission. My 14-year-old learned that Kate's full name is
Jamae (pronounced Jamie) Kathryn. My name is Jamie Kathryn, too! I 
mentioned
to Kate that I first heard of her on NanciNet, and she told me that she
greatly appreciates the support she's gotten from Nanci fans.
      Hardly anyone in the audience tonight was familiar with Kate 
before,
but they left as converts to her music. It was a wonderful opportunity 
to
experience her songs and stories.

Take care,
Jamie Bollich

Subject: NN: Weird Beer Tour (NNC)
    Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 08:55:57 -0700 (PDT)
    From: "Shawn Kimbro" (shawn@mountainsoul.net>

Finally getting around to reporting on the
entertaining musical weekend I had --  it included a
Kate Campbell concert in Vienna, Va where I met up
with Henry Lefkowitz at a very kewl venue called
Jammin' Java.

Before I tell you about the show, I must admit that
I've had considerable trouble pronouncing the name of
the town it was in.  Just before it started, I found
myself hanging out on a peer in Annapolis, Maryland
with a bunch of dressed-up lawyers and architects.  My
jeans didn't fit the crowd so they asked where I was
going.  I completely stumbled over the name of the
town, desperately wanting to give it the proper
Southern pronunciation of "VI-EE-NEE."

Unfortunately, there were no canned sausages on the
menu.  Hell, there wasn't even light beer!  (A huge
disappointment!)  But Henry was nice enough to point
out some alternative menu items and I grabbed a stout
local brew and visited with Kate's husband Ira for a
while.  Kate Campbell was, as always, amazing,
literate, and funny.  She was preceded on stage by
Steve Gelman who I also enjoyed.  One of his songs,
which is a tender duet he has recorded with Kate,
contains a line I hope I didn't mishear because I
found it especially memorable.  In the song about
candle light and late night dancing to the radio he
included the line:

                "wearing your shoes"

Yeah!!  Now that's a line I like!!  I went up at the
break and asked Steve if next time he might also write
in something about tube tops!!

After parting with Henry and making plans to take him
up on his generous offer of a back-stage tour of the
Library of Congress,  (A tour Kate raved about on
stage.) I headed off to other entertaining environs.

Next day, I bumped into NanciNet Cafe heart-throb
Dianne Miller dancing at Wolf Trap's annual Swamp
Romp.  The Cajun/zydeco festival included Marcia Ball,
Papa Grows Funk, Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys and
others. It was a huge party and
I hope I never miss another one! I'm still not sure
how Dianne was dancing so vigorously wearing all those
colorful Mardi Gras beads, or for that matter how she
got so many in the first place, but she generously
shared a few pink and purple strands before sending me
off to the beer shed where, (sigh> you guessed it,
they didn't have light beer!!  I settled for Heniken
at $7.50 a can!

Monday, after a stop at the world's hottest new
location for unnecessary plastic objects, IKEA, I
pointed the Diamante toward North Carolina's Outer
Banks.  Arriving at sunset, I found a great little
Oyster Bar on the beaches of Nag's Head called
Bushwhackers.  A couple dozen oysters after my arrival
a band called The Calypso Nuts started jamming,
providing all the Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley covers I
could stand in one sitting.  I highly recommend this
bar should anyone find themselves in the area  --
great food, kewl atmosphere, an absurdly kitschy gift
shop and, TA DA!! ......... LIGHT BEER!

After getting a little salt water and sand in my shoes
(my OWN) I headed off into the night back toward the
Mountains.  WNCW came in on the radio just before
Winston-Salem.  I was pleased when they spun Kate
Campbell's "Crazy in Alabama" about the time I was
passing Black Mountain.  Perfect timing!  I can't
imagine how I could've had more fun, um, well, except
of course for that one thing.  Next time, you can
damn-sure bet I won't drive away from home without a
six-pack of Miller Lite in my backpack!

Cheers,
-Shawn

Hey Shawn -- enjoyed your tale. What a pity that you came all the way up
this way and didn't let us know. You could have hooked up with some 
other
nancinetters as well. Me, for one. And Gordon in Annapolis. And...I sure
would have had some good German beer stocked for you. Bummer.

Glad you got to meet Dianne at least. I haven't managed to meet her in
person yet, although we're only a stone throw away from each other.

Did Nanci say that? As far as I'm concerned, it's not the world's 
hottest
new location for UPOs till the aNGel herself says that it's the 
hottest!  :)

IKEA doesn't do plastic. it's all wood and wholesome colors and very, 
very
necessary objects everywhere..... :):)
