Subject: RE: New Hedy West CDs
I think it's worth pointing out that "Welcome to Caffe Lena" is not a Hedy West album. Hedy does not make this clear in her e-mails or in the song list posted above. It's a compilation of various artists recorded at the Caffe about 30 or so years ago. Hedy sings one song ("Whore's Lament").

As I recall from copy of the LP on Biograh:

Michael Cooney- Lena, Won't You Open Your Door- Michael Cooney

Bill Vanaver- Cluck, Old Hen

Paul Geremia- Elegant Hobo

Bob & Evelyne Beers- Bells Of Cheyenne/The Blackbird

Louis Killen- The Blacksmith

High Level Ranters- The Clog Hornpipe

Rosalie Sorrels- Come On Friend

Patrick Sky- Giovani Montini, The Pope

Bottle Hill- Blue Birds Singing In The Blue

Hedy West- Whore's Lament

Utah Phillips- Daddy What's A Train

Lena Spencer- Sweet Little Cafe In A Square

Frank Wakefield- Tarry Not

I trust that Hedy actually has the rights to issue this album. I mentioned this album to one of the above artists and they hadn't heard it was available.
