   I just bought Alice in Chains "Dirt."  At first it was nothing special,
but now after about 3-4 listenings, it's fantastic.  I rate it the best cd
I've bought this year.  Took me by complete surprise...

Prince's 7 is a welcome return to the good Prince
I remember from the early 80s, back when music was
good and he sang 1999 and Little Red Corvette and...

I heard it on the radio and couldn't believe it! The 
harmonies, the melody ...

I'm tempted to listen to the whole symbol album if 
it's as good as 7. My Name Is Prince wasn't anything
impressive. I wondered why he'd bothered trying to get
into rap. 7 is more a return to his roots and what
made him famous in the first place.

I managed to catch Natalie Merchant and company at the Berkeley stop
of their latest tour.  It's a pity they couldn't do more than one
encore set.  What I really want to know is what the last song they
played was.  It was, ostensibly, a cover because my girlfriend
recognized it as "a really old song" -- "really old" in her case
might include material from the early 70's.  It wasn't "Freebird",
and it wasn't "Everyday Is Like Sunday".  I believe the first line
of the chorus began with "If you reach across the sky".

I know this is all rather vague but I'm hoping that people who have
attended concerts on the latest tour -- either the Berkeley one or
ones at other locations -- might have some idea what song I'm talking
about.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Warren has not performed any of her own work for the public.  I would
like to know if there is a similar list for Karla Bonoff.  Ms. Bonoff has
at least six albums where she performs her own work, but I also know that

And "Tijuana Moods" and "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady" and 
"Town Hall Concert" and "Let My Children Hear Music" and "The Greatest 
Jazz Concert Ever" (which is undoubtedly  hyperbole, but it's still hard 
to argue with the likes of Bird, Diz, Bud Powell, Max Roach, and Sir 
Charles) and any of the Candid recordings.  

The man was certainly a great bassist (and, astonishingly enough, a black 
one at that!), but he also was a great composer, borrowing elements from 
Ellington and Bird and turning them into something completely his own.  

What I *don't* recommend is the recent Hal Willner tribute to Mingus
entitled "Weird Nightmare."  I didn't think it was possible to castrate
Mingus' music, but Willner has found a way to do it.  Mingus' music
was ballsy, in-your-face stuff, and Willner has concocted an hour
of atmospheric noodling.  Open letter to Hal:  give it up, Bud.  
You blew it with Monk, and now you've blow it with Mingus.  Stick
to pop artists, where you do fine.  

"Epitaph," the 2-CD Mingus tribute released a couple years ago, and
featuring many of the musicians who played in Mingus' bands, is a 
much better choice.  For that matter, even Joni Mitchell's misguided
but good-intentioned "Mingus" album is a better choice.

I think that's the name of his current touring band.  I don't know
about albums, but you can probably expect a video out sometime in
the next six months or so, recorded Halloween weekend at the Count
Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey.  The concert I saw was pretty
good, but I wasn't very pleased to find out when I got there that my
seats front-and-center had been ripped out to make room for a
15-foot high camera scaffold....

The music has a vaguely Latin feel to it, but less that I would have
expected.  I was disappointed that the old T.Heads songs he did by
and large were not reinterpreted in this style, but rather sounded
like they could have been in *Stop Making Sense*.

DROPOUTS: "Never Saw A Miracle" by Curtis Stigers, "Would I Lie To You"
by Charles & Eddie, and "Someone To Hold" by Trey Lorenz

DEBUTS: "There Are The Days" by 10,000 Maniacs, "Does Love Not Open
Your Eyes" by Kurt Howe, and "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson

BIGGEST GAINER: "This Is A Whole New World" by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle
(5 notches)

BIGGEST LOSER: "Someone To Hold" Trey Lorenz dropped out from #18, "Layla"
by Eric Clapton dropped 6 from #11 to #17

NOTES:
*No songs entered/left top 10
*Longest running song on the chart right now is "Sometimes Love Just Ain't
Enough," 20 weeks.
*"Always Tomorrow," only a few weeks ago a very fast mover, is stonewalled
by the competition near the top.
*"To Love Somebody" does not break the 4-week record as the #1 song.
(it drops to #3; it has been tossed to the hungry wolves below)
It is sharing this record (of the 1990's) with songs such as "The One,"
"Hold On My Heart," "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," etc.
*"The Last Song" hangs on for the 4th week as #2. Although it finally beats
"To Love Somebody" (after 3 weeks), it itself is beaten by "I Will Always Love
You" (already #1 on the Pop/R&B charts), thus is is once again... #2..
Its momentum is running out, and may begin to slip very soon.

I also heard that Cheryl Wheeler will be joing them this year.

I went last year, and it was Christine Lavin, John Gorka, Patti Larkin,

John Fereira...

Well, it really depends on which Sesame Street Band you're talking about,
John (is it okay if I call you Dave, by the way?).

On the "Born to Add" sessions, Bert (yellow) played guitar, Cookie Monster
(blue) played sax, and the bass player is not listed by name.  If it's the
same bass player as on the "Monsters!" sessions, then it's probably either
Herry Monster (blue, with a purple nose) or Grover (blue, with a pink nose).

If you're talking about Frazzle & the Frazzletones (remember the first time
you heard "Do the Frazzle!", yow!), then I think the bass player was Frazzle
himself, and I'm not sure of his color (but it might be purple).  Then again,
maybe you're thinking of "Fur", the solo effort by A Maroon-and-Yellow
Monster, he played all the instruments, which I guess would include bass.

Does anyone have a family tree of all these Sesame Street bands?

Well, if Plague Mass makes the cut I feel I ought to mention Messiaen's
Trois Petites Liturgies de la Pre'sence Devine, which employs a rather
unusual text and makes nice use of the ondes Martenot.

Among Messiaen's pre-war works is a Mass which I've never heard.  Gregory?

Don't let Ian Anderson catch you saying that; he's always fought against
that appelation, esp. w/ respect to this album. To paraphrase:

I never saw why they called Sgt. Pepper's a concept album either,
"unless of course you're referring to the drug which induced the music -
in which case most of mine have been Lowenbrau albums." 

For Ian, almost the _point_ of an album is continuity and unity, so most
of their albums can be construed as "concepts," especially, obviously,
Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play (which are 1-song albums), Warchild,
and Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young to Die (the latter two of which
were intended as accompaniments to films). Anyway, they're all fabulous
and brilliant.
