As long as we're discussing Patty and Ellis, I don't think that "Conversation
With
A Ghost" should go unmentioned....I have some pretty vivid memories of driving
to a gig with my guitar player - with that song on "repeat" (right after a
breakup,
of course)....sheeeesh...I still get butterflies when I think about
that...just one of
those amazing moments that music intensifies to a point past description.
I've heard the single of her new record, "One Big Love", and yes, it does
sound
like it's aimed directly at the Lisa Loeb/Cowboy Junkies audience, but it's
still
a great song...although I did hear one other cut off the record before that
that
really scared me....but I don't think it'll deter me from buying the record...
"...i wish i could've been there to see you through...
hey, are all those things that you told me once still true..."
ok, I'm through waxing nostalgic now....

Subject: Christine Lavin radio spot
On Saturday, July 11th, from 8-9 PM EDT on WQXR (96.3 FM) in New York City,
Christine Lavin will be Bob Sherman's sole guest on his long-running (29
years) popular radio program called "Woody's Children." Christine will
perform live -- some brand new songs, "Single Voice," "Piranaha Women Of The
Avocado Jungle Of Death," an old favorite, "Good Thing He Can't Read My Mind,"
and a song from her new live album (One Wild Night In Concert) entitled "The
Wild Blue," the story of kamikaze pilots in World War II. Although Bob
Sherman has a standing rule never to play songs on his show that are over 7
minutes long, he specifically asked for "The Wild Blue" and during the
interview asks Christine many questions about the writing of it.
Also as part of the interview two cuts from the 1800PRIMECD double album "Big
League Babe" tribute will be played -- "Replaced" as performed by Susan
Werner, and "Compass" as performed by Dee Carstensen.
The whole hour spans Christine's wide variety of musical styles, from the
silly to the serious. Although Bob Sherman has been playing her music since
the mid-80s, this is the first time she is his guest in the studio. If you're
in the listening area, we hope you'll be able to catch the show. If you're
not in the listening area, you can catch up on Christine at her website - now
with video and audio! - at www.christinelavin.com.

I second what Gina Skinner wrote about Maia Sharp. Her "Hardly Glamour" is
one of the best debut albums I've ever heard and I very highly recommend
it. Maia's got a dark, sensual voice and an unaffected singing style. The
songs are fresh as her inexperience brings an innocent clarity to subjects.
[She also exhibits a great willingness to GROOVE.] She and her dad Randy
Sharp -- a great songwriter -- outdid themselves here with the writing and
production. I hope her label will stick with the project. It's worth it.
As Gina mentioned, Maia has a home page at www.maiasharp.com

Not sure where the network delivery bottleneck occurred here, but if that
was indeed the 6/30 Letterman, then this posting was a little late to be of
use. However, I'll have to find the channel and time of Conan O'Brian for
the 7/10 appearance of Lucinda. Thanks Henry!

[Alan sez: Due to the forwarding and hand moderation of the list, messages
often take a day or two to get processed. Then the digest is only sent out
once daily. And finally many users also read their mail only once daily
(and then often only at work or at home, so they may not log in for several
days at a time. That's why in the FAQ we recommend a bare *minimum* of 72
hours lead time on time sensitive postings to this list. Henry's was
received for moderation after the show had aired and Iwould have rejected
it except for the timely July 10th content. Hope this helps.]
