| 8:30 pm |  | Jenny (talk/contribs) |  |
| 8:07 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | that could be true.. there were days when i could find the lyrics to an entire album... not so now! |
| 7:57 pm |  | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | You are certainly welcome. I am having a devil of a time finding lyrics these days.. I think we are reaching a place where we might have them about covered.. as much as we can.... |
| 7:55 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | loving this music. Thanks, OldGowl! |
| 7:55 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | Hi Terri, Jenny and Peterdale .. and Luanna who is out there somewhere  |
| 7:52 pm |  | terri (talk/contribs) |  Pete |
| 7:51 pm | | Jenny (talk/contribs) | He is the greatest! Hi Terri, Hi OldGowl! |
| 7:48 pm | | Peterdale (talk/contribs) |  Dougie is the greatest! |
| 7:47 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) |  Jenny, Oldgowl |
| 7:41 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | oh boy.. old habits die hard ! |
| 7:40 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | ::hehe Hi Jenny ! Dougie is me favorite these days.. |
| 7:40 pm | | Jenny (talk/contribs) | (Pabay Mor / Who Am I / Dougie MacLean) |
| 7:39 pm | | Jenny (talk/contribs) | Hooray Dougie!! cursong |
| 5:12 pm |  | DogNut (talk/contribs) | I cropped it down, not quite square, but a closer and a tighter shot of the pups. |
| 5:02 pm | | DogNut (talk/contribs) | Mert, It certainly looks better, but I wonder if we can do it without stretching it ? SHould I got back to the original and crop it? |
| 4:50 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | oooh, WWR has the new Dar CD! |
| 4:33 pm | | DogNut (talk/contribs) | Sure Mert... give it a shot! Thanks |
| 4:31 pm |  | Mert (talk/contribs) | Cool, man! |
| 4:28 pm | | Peterdale (talk/contribs) | And I got all the lyrics too! |
| 4:28 pm | | Peterdale (talk/contribs) | |
| 4:26 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Peterdale, we're thinking alike. |
| 4:23 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | DogNut, may I square your photo? It'll make the doggers bigger and easier to see. |
| 4:16 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | Our local PBS station is now running a cartoon based on "Car Talk." Weird. |
| 4:13 pm | | DogNut (talk/contribs) | Go mariners.... |
| 3:46 pm |  | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Cool, terri! Glad to hear it's there. Keep an ear out for my music there. Also I know the Kennedys play it on the Dharma Cafe, on whatever channel that appears on. |
| 3:26 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | Beth... I checked and Sirius still has the Coffehouse channel (30). |
| 3:20 pm |  | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Wow, I didn't realize football had started already. |
| 2:14 pm |  | Chili (talk/contribs) | Just loved the Phillies whipping the Mets last night  |
| 2:04 pm |  | Scobey (talk/contribs) | Peter Cooper is in the park tonight but it's raining and Diana Z is inside |
| 12:44 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | I checked -- she wrote that song (Irene Marguerite); in fact, it's the one that won her the Minnesota New Folk songwriting contest! So I'm taking that cover designation off. |
| 12:38 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | "Darkness, Cover Me" is probably my favorite of hers. |
| 12:37 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | But is this song actually a cover? Is that referring to her allusion to Goodnight Irene? Or did someone else write (Irene Marguerite / By Breath / Sara Thomsen) |
| 12:36 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | I'd never heard of her -- thanks WWR! |
| 12:36 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | I love Sara.  |
| 12:32 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | "you were born when the leaves started dying" -- what a great opening line! (Irene Marguerite / By Breath / Sara Thomsen) |
| 12:31 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Have a good time on the porch, Mert! And thanks, Scobey, for checking out LastFM for me; I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong . . . |
| 12:30 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Okay, beautiful, non-humid day here and I'm losing porch time. Later, gators. |
| 12:29 pm | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | Beth - The music list is there but when I click on a song I get an Oops! Can't connect. |
| 12:29 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Nah, if all your songs are 4's and 5's, doubt that this one would get a 1 or 2. |
| 12:29 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Hmm; well, you'll have to ask Jim. I was indeed curious when I discovered it wasn't here. (But I'm glad to hear it's not that it was universally panned by WWR listeners!) |
| 12:28 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Beth, I'm pretty sure it's never been here. I remember when your album first showed up. |
| 12:26 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | I listen mostly to OutQ and Radio Classics channels. |
| 12:25 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Heck; don't remember which Sirius channel, because they keep changing them -- coffeehouse doesn't exist anymore. Sigh. |
| 12:24 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | And I agree, Scobey, about lastFM; it's really annoying, but I keep hoping I can actually get it to work . . . |
| 12:24 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | I have Sirius... which channel? Coffeehouse? |
| 12:23 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Maybe it was here and everyone gave it one or two stars (before I showed up) and it got ditched? |
| 12:23 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | I don't know why my rock 'n roll song isn't here! It's actually my most played song on the radio (largely because it gets played pretty often on Sirius satellite radio). (well, it's a tossup with Canaan, which is most played on folk stations.) |
| 12:23 pm | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | I hate Lastfm. Doesn't want to play. Only one song there |
| 12:21 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Drat, Beth. Why isn't your rock 'n' roll song here? |
| 12:15 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Thanks, Scobey -- but is there music there? The first time (awhile back) I tried to put it there no one could access it. I think I was more successful this time . . . |
| 12:15 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Merde, you get the idea. |
| 12:15 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | speaking of cute names, there is a local band called One Small Step for Landmines. |
| 12:15 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Doug,  . I think it would be a good combo. |
| 12:13 pm | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | I see your page on Lastfm E.D. |
| 12:13 pm |  | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Mert,.. wanting to sound continental is prolly defeated by the picture on the left |
| 12:12 pm | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Gotta run,.. But I am looking forward to more Waterville Maine exporation,.. I guess folks talk pages would be the place??? |
| 12:12 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Doug, if you want to sound continental saying basically the same thing: Sacre merde! |
| 12:11 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Oh, I should say that just because I like the album title doesn't mean I like the music . . . |
| 12:10 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | wow; serious thunderstorm happening here! |
| 12:09 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | speaking of good album titles -- (Apologize / Surplus Cheese / Rick McAlister) |
| 12:09 pm | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | More Holy Crap,... |
| 12:08 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | (Never Date A Musician / Get Your Monkey Off My Dog / The Bobs) Love the album name! |
| 12:07 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Wish I'd known you guys when I had the misfortune to live in Waterville ME . . . |
| 12:05 pm | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Yup,.. 9 miles from Waterville. I know Mainer it's on of the Belgrade Lakes,.. My father was a teacher and He (and I eventually) worked at a summer camp on Salmon Lake. |
| 12:05 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | yes, Faith is now "92 and a half" and going strong. She is traveling and performing with the New Old Chautauqua! Jugglers, acrobats, poets and singers! |
| 12:04 pm | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | On an unrelated note -- does anyone here have a LastFM account? If so, could you go try to listen to my music (I just uploaded it, I think) [Beth DeSombre, for those of you who don't know me by me non-WWR name] and let me know if it works? |
| 12:03 pm |  | Mainer (talk/contribs) | There is a Salmon Pond near where I live Doc |
| 12:02 pm | | Mert (talk/contribs) | A lot of sacred shit flying around here. |
| 12:01 pm | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | Its 20 miles west of Baxter as the crow flies |
| 12:01 pm | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Holy Crap Mainer,.. we have the same birthday,.. This is toooooooooooo weird |
| 12:00 pm | | terri (talk/contribs) | Lu: I noticed the pic of Faith Petric, who looks pretty good for someone in her 90s. |
| 11:59 am | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Holy Crap Mainer,... I spent 20 or so summers on Salmon Lake |
| 11:58 am | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | Hey Jim if you find yourself in Maine you can use my camp and boat for free, best view of Katahdin in the state |
| 11:56 am | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | Mainer... I have seen Gandolf live twice and I really like their show. good energy, good philosophy, good humor. I wouild say catch them if you can! |
| 11:52 am | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | Thanks, I like them alot. They come up to Maine and I'll get to see them some day. |
| 11:50 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Yeah, Mainer; the slambovians have to be seen in person to fully appreciate them (I love them live and rarely end up wanting to listen to them recorded); I'll let you know how they are at FRFF when I return. |
| 11:48 am | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | Hi Terri |
| 11:47 am | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | Hey Egg, let me know how the Slambovian Circus is live will ya? |
| 11:47 am |  | Jim (talk/contribs) | Jim's links in case you never looked |
| 11:46 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | jolly! |
| 11:46 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | I'm all right, Lu. Mainer, Mert |
| 11:45 am |  | Used2Bjollyjim (talk/contribs) | Hi E.D., Lu and Terri hope all is well with you and all the Wheatheads, gotta go |
| 11:45 am | | Jim (talk/contribs) | Rezdog's beautifully written and poignant piece that I just read on air. |
| 11:44 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | There once was a comic book artist named Charles Biro, who did not entirely trust others with drawing his characters... he had photostats made of the heads, and insisted the other artists paste his heads on their drawings! |
| 11:44 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Maybe this is the lesson I needed to learn. |
| 11:43 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Getting a chronic illness has changed my perspective a lot. Things that used to be very important aren't anymore; my priorities have changed, and I've relaxed. |
| 11:42 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | yeah, Mainer -- I left in 2001 . . . |
| 11:41 am | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | hi Terri.. I am just home from Seattle, Sequim (lavender festival) and Lopez Island... just in town long enough to mow the lawns and repack. How have you been? |
| 11:40 am | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | i see myself being in charge of so many projects and because of her, learning to trust other people to do parts of it, too! but... i admit I am guilty of being like Beth.. and the stress.... and the obsessions... |
| 11:40 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | Lu! |
| 11:36 am | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | interesting... my idea of a control freak is someone who has to be in charge and won't let anyone else have any input or any responsibility.. i am thinking of a person I work with.. she won't let anyone else contribute.. it's as if no one else has any ability. it makes me crazy. |
| 11:33 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | I admit to being anal about several things... hand washing, keeping the windshield clean on my vehicle, keeping my clocks and watches on time.... |
| 11:32 am | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | We kicked all the control freaks out of Maine long ago |
| 11:32 am | | Mainer (talk/contribs) | We kicked all the control freaks out of Maine long ago |
| 11:30 am | | Used2Bjollyjim (talk/contribs) | Are all control freaks anal retentive? |
| 11:25 am |  | KodiBear (talk/contribs) | Bush was born on 3rd base and thought he had a triple |
| 11:25 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | Time to invoke Godwin's Rule... |
| 11:24 am | | Used2Bjollyjim (talk/contribs) | Jim, you are seriously waxing philosophical today. I missed you while in Ireland. Everyone there is hoping for an Obama victory. |
| 11:19 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | ... Dust Nazi. |
| 11:18 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | I lived with someone I called the |
| 11:17 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | i have lived with a control freak who was also a clean freak. (Not my ex) We had a few set-to's. |
| 11:15 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Hey terri! Yup, looking forward to Falcon Ridge, but hoping that it does storm tomorrow (as predicted) during the time I'm supposed to be playing at one of the campground stages . . . |
| 11:14 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Beth—sounds like an Aries to me. |
| 11:13 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | Beth... break a leg! |
| 11:12 am | | terri (talk/contribs) | < - not a control freak at all! |
| 11:07 am | | KodiBear (talk/contribs) | Jim Get some doggy tranquilizers and take them yourself |
| 11:00 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | yup; WWR has pretty much ruined us for any other radio stations . . . |
| 10:52 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | I do that too! |
| 10:46 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Also, I've found that I get really itchy when listening to standard radio and can't go rank songs! (I also find myself mentally tagging them . . .) |
| 10:45 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Ah, but the wisdom of crowds! |
| 10:43 am | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | There,.... See we disagree on how many stars life gets...  |
| 10:43 am | | Scobey (talk/contribs) |  |
| 10:42 am | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | I think it is totally perfect! |
| 10:41 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | No sh-t. |
| 10:36 am | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Life is a less than perfect system... |
| 10:01 am | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | Falcon Ridge |
| 9:55 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Yeah, Lu -- you should really try to get to Falcon Ridge some time. We have an AMAZING Dave Carter song circle. And fantastic musicians on the mainstage . . . |
| 9:48 am | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | Beth, have a great time at Falcon Ridge. Wish I could catch that one someday... and maybe someday I will! |
| 9:46 am | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | Actually, when I go back to work I'll be dipping in the ranks. |
| 9:40 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | yeah, well you'll go on vacation sometime and then watch your back/rankings! |
| 9:37 am | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 9:37 am | | Scobey (talk/contribs) | Working on it  |
| 9:36 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Oh, and Scobey -- by the time I get back from the folk festival I expect you to have passed me in song ranking . . . |
| 9:35 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Hey everyone. Yes, I'm supposed to be writing rec letters, but instead I'm uploading my music to lastfm. So those of you who are last fm users, it'll be there within a half hour or so -- as a bonus, there's one song on the CD that doesn't appear on the WWR playlist, so if you want to hear my rock 'n roll song, you'll be able to hear it there! |
| 8:45 am | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | good morning! I am at home for a day and a half. I had an amazing trip with a friend who lives in Seattle and here cousin from LA .I am sure taking them to see Idgy Vaughn one day and Faith Petric the next was mind blowing for them! |
| 6:54 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Bye, Beth! ... I rescued six books out of eight boxes that just went out the door. Sheesh, that's what I get for looking at them again. |
| 6:46 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | But now I am going to go away for awhile, since I *really* have to get those recommendation letters (and other things) written before I can leave town. See ya'll later. |
| 6:45 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | And yes, I'll convey good greetings (and in some cases, requests for more music) to everyone from WWR. And I'll poke Danny for you, Jim. |
| 6:44 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | I'm back -- I was actually just off entering some music into a contest (and had to sign off to check that the right music was being uploaded). |
| 6:42 am | | Jim (talk/contribs) | Looks like I missed E.D. Egg but if she sees this by chance, have a great time at Falcon Ridge. I'm sure you will. And, if the opportunity presents itself, give a warm hello and/or hug or anything else (including but not limited to caramel creams or M & Ms) to all those folks from all of us at WWR. Many of them are part of the pulse of what keeps WWR alive musically. And then invite them all up to Alaska for a house concert! wistfully at you going to such a great festival. Oh, and tell Danny we would like him to haul a bunch of wood DOWN the hill this time and then PUT BACK THE PLYWOOD COVERING THE CEILING PAINTINGS!!! hahahahahahhahaha (joke) |
| 5:59 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Admirable recovery. |
| 5:58 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | That was supposed to be "sigh" deeply at Chris Smither, although given that the whole festival is ASL interpreted, I could, perhaps "sign" deeply at him too . . . |
| 5:57 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Mert: I agree on the less-is-more; I have varying levels of success (or periods) of accomplishing it. And, yes, I'll sign deeply at Chris Smither on your behalf. Also there are Eliza Gilkyson, Lori McKenna, Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovians, Eddie from Ohio, and many more . . . |
| 5:56 am | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Thanks Mert,... Wish I could join him. |
| 5:54 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | DD, I requested a Paul Curreri song—the second one—but neglected to dedicate it to you. Note the title. |
| 5:47 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Oh ... Chris Smither. Sigh. |
| 5:47 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Hey, Beth. Waiting for an antique seller to come by and look at my stuff. He also sells on ebay and does estate sales, so I hope he takes it all. My new motto: less is more. |
| 5:42 am | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | @ @ whatever a dripping with envy emoticon would look like.... |
| 5:34 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Here only briefly. Much to do today before heading off first thing tomorrow to the Falcon Ridge folk fest (where I will see Tracy Grammer, Jim Henry, Chris Smither, Dar Williams, and many many other WWR folks). Oh, and I think Danny Schmidt is even in the "emerging artists showcase." |
| 5:32 am | | E.D. Egg (talk/contribs) | Morning, folks. |
| 4:43 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Here's to hittin' 'em! Have a great day, FW. |
| 4:42 am |  | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | I am off to sing  |
| 4:42 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | there is no secret to that! |
| 4:41 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | |
| 4:35 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | I was talking about singing, FW. |
| 3:59 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | write lots of bad songs |
| 3:58 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | the secret to writing good songs is... |
| 3:49 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Whew, I wish some folks would stick to just playing. |
| 3:44 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) |  DrD |
| 3:39 am | | Doctordoug (talk/contribs) | Mornin' Wheatsters Happy Wednesday... It's Wings, Beer, and Guitar day for DrD. |
| 3:16 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | |
| 3:16 am | | Firewalk (talk/contribs) | Good Morning Mert |
| 2:20 am | | Mert (talk/contribs) | Good morning, Wheatniks. |
Pete
Dougie is the greatest!
Jenny, Oldgowl
. I think it would be a good combo.
