Subject: NN: Tom Russell - Album and UK Tour (NNC)
   Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2004 12:07:40 -0000
   From: "Matt Bloomfield" (mail@mattbloomfield.co.uk>

Tom Russell has a new album due this month "Indians Cowboys Horses Dogs", it
is due for release on Feb 24th but early copies are available from Feb 10th
according to his website:

http://www.tomrussell.com

Five UK dates have been slipped into the tour schedule this week, at least I
didn't notice them there the week before.  I've seen Tom and Andrew Hardin
five or six times now and highly recommend you go along to see them.
Tickets are on sale already, so get 'em while they're hot.

I'm not sure if this is known yet.  A friend of mine informed me last night
that Eric Taylor's girlfriend emailed her with the news that he had suffered
a massive heart attack last week.  They flew him to Austin and he had 4
stints put in and is stablized now.  Some of you may know more about his
progress.  If you pray please remember Eric.

As of last Monday or so, Eric was back home and resting, following doctor's
orders. Let's all wish him a speedy and full recovery.

Hello again everyone!  Here is better news on Eric Taylor's condition from
Sarah Wrightson (Vince Bell's better half if you didn't know).  Praise be...

Lorrie,

Eric has been home some days now and is doing really well.  We've been
emailing with Susan and she says he's following Drs orders, has good
medicines and hopes he's going to be in better shape than ever!!!  Please
tell Katie -- it isn't an easy thing of course, but the outcome is going
to be good.

Subject: NN: Finding similar artists to Nanci that you might like...

Now this is clever.  

 http://www.musicplasma.com/

Type in the name of a band musician you like, you might want to try Nanci
Griffith.

It'll create a map of musicians and even play a sample of their songs. You
can click on the other names to go to them, see their map and hear their
songs too.

Check How To Read Maps for what it all means.

I'm posting this to a couple of lists (but not cross-posting), so sorry if
you get this multiple times.

But did you get a new job?
The Nanci Net needs to be told!

Right you are, Conor.  I meant to tell you that I did, indeed, accept an
offer this week to serve on the legal staff of a local company here. 5
minutes from home no less.  Yes, it's the corporate world again, but I still
have this kid to get through college and need some cash to go back home one
day, etc.   It's not biotech this time, so it should be an interesting
learning experience. Guess, I have to sacrifice my writing career on hold
yet again to surrender to the money-making thing..... :)

Thanks to all you nancinetters and cafe patrons who were rooting for me and
keeping my spirits up during the past few months of uncertainty. You guys
are the best !

Hi Guys

Just wanted to say "hi" to you all.  It's ages since I indulged in raising
my head above the parapet but I am still here ....still listening in ....
and still enjoying Nanci's music.

Kind regards to you all

Hi.  Sorry if this isnt the correct forum for this, but I am trying to find
my wife, a Nanci fan for 10+ years, tickets to the Wednesday, February 18th
show at the Birchmere in Wash, D.C.  Both shows are sold out. If anyone has
tickets to sell, or knows of someone who might, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Here's some information about a reading series I curate, founded on the
proposition that readings should offer 1) Very good writers; 2) who read
their own work well; 3) with at least one funny thing in it (nervous
laughter counts).

It's free & at a bar...what could be better?

Thank yew...
