I'm going to back up a bit. When I first read Suzanne Vega's article, she seemed most (to my ears) to be bemoaning the lack of a scene; at least, the kind of scene she knew when she was coming up. Makes me wonder what island she's living on, coz it sure ain't mine!!!

I have more places to go tonight than I can possibly get to: 1) pinewoods hotenanny 2) caroline cutroneo at the c-note 3) open stage at the raven cafe. Each of these places chock full of top-notch artists deeply enmeshed in thriving music communities full of folks whom I adore.

Ms. Vega needs to get out more!!

erica (probably going to see caroline tonite!!!!! have a good hootenanny, suffet, and give my love to the folks:)
