Sinister: and I want you for all time

[pamela berry]

hi everyone,

in giving friday night's poetry cafe social scoop, I think our roving
reporters may have neglected to mention the end of chris' absolutely ace
set, when timothy e. hopkins ("e" for emmylou, not everyone knows that)
joined mr. leonard for a knee-buckling rendition of streets of
baltimore, with beauteous harmonies and all. yowza. that was just before
steady mike o. jones ("o" for oh-go-ahead-twist-my-arm-I'll-sing-it-too)
called out a request for wichita lineman, then as if by magic was
suddenly up there crooning with chris and timmylou. great, great stuff.
I remember tim and mike both saying they'd be extremely pleased if I
mentioned it. or was that displeased? oh I do tend to forget the smaller
details when I'm a bit schwacked on pricey poetry cafe beer. 

lesley jo, you should really get your hands on as much free design stuff
as you can (roundabout mail order in dc carries both siesta releases on
cd or double ten-inch vinyl, mmm). they have a catalog of the wackest
covers ever, their originals are always a bit bizarre in the best of
ways, they sing about ouija boards, friendly men, jesus and bubblegum
with plenty of gusto, and they have that spine-tingling family members
singing together thing going for them, just like the everly brothers
did. just like nelson didn't. say what you want about that nick drake
documentary, but it was well worth it to me to hear that old recording
of nick's mom singing, she sounded just like a female nick drake.
spooky. I wonder if they ever sang together standing around in the
kitchen cooking dinner, passing the time. 

for someone who rarely posts but was inspired by the great sinister
comeback to do so, I've rambled on quite long enough. I'm raising a
glass to honey even as I type this for all the work involved, it's good
to be lurking among friends again!
