I liked her better when her hair was long! Just enjoyed a really good Austin City Limits last Saturday night on PBS. She hosted a song circle with Buddy(?) Martin, Dave Mathews and a couple of others whose names I can't remember.

Ah. but sweet Emmy.........She brought something different to Country and added so much. In many ways a true folksinger as she is well versed and an excellent performer of the mountain songs as well as early country. Not everyone likes that voice, but for me, there is none like it and her many associations over the years have given her a versatility almost unmatched. I never tire of hearing or seeing her.

Gotta' go get a copy of the New Yorker..........Cletus can use the rest of it for whatever..........gawd, I don't even want to think about him reading it.

So, uhm, did somebody say they were gonna scan the New Yorker photo?????

First time I saw her was inthe early 70's on a country music award show. They were showcasing supposed up and coming talent. Don't remember any of the rest, but they had 120 pounds of Emmylou stuffed into a 90 pound pair of jeans. Just knew she would go far.

So her live twice after that. Great shows.

So I told Mister, if my hair goes gray, it's just goin gray, like Emmylou. Well, he said that's okay by him.

I too got hooked on Roses in the Snow which was a fantastic album. I like the way she goes back and explores the roots of several genres.

And for my money, "Prayer in Open D" is one of the best songs ever written. Not too many songs that put the blame on our lives in the right place...ourselves.

If she'd played her cards right she could have had me.

But "duped?" Surely you're not suggesting that our Em has been toying with us all these years? Say it ain't so!

Oh, and for those (like me) who are waitin' to see the picture of Emmylou from the New Yorker, www.emmylou.net has a marvelous gallery of concert photos from over the years, as well as lots of bio stuff, Gram stuff, etc.

Sigh, Mooh.

That's the name I heard. Figure it's true?

Mooh.

Bless yer little cotton socks ... ww

If she was some big-bazoomed bimbo, I wouldn't think it was cute, I'd think it was icky. But then you all are far too classy to get all mushy over some big-bazoomed bimbo, aren't ya? Aren't ya? WEll, yes, except for Catspaw, of course ...

I had exactly the same hairdo in 1975. Does that count? (Of course, every other young woman in the U.S. and much of the rest of the world did as well, but hey ... )

An aside: I remember Glen Reid now. Met him at the Collingwood Celtic Festival, sat on my tailgate and played his guitar. I had been guitar shopping and was considering his, though I bought from someone else eventually. I'd like to try his mandolin(s).

The world gets smaller. Mooh.

An heirloom rose among daisies.

Yeah......I like that.......

I looked in on GR's website. I love that mando-ish shape! I really ought to seek him out again...

Peace, Mooh (not home again).

Rick, you're such a prince. The women of the Mudcat will love you even more, now that you've professed a preference for zaftig. What a wonderful term that is ...

WW (who may be headed that way herself if she doesn't get a real job, give up this freelancing crap and stop with the ice cream a'ready ... )

Officially leaving the "date with Emmy" line. Now the "Adrienne Barbeau" line.....Oh Hell, she's probably dead by now!

I don't know who Mr. Fielding is or why he feels the need to say such things about me, but he is extremely hurtful to me, my friends and my family.

I am a very active performer. For more information, please visit my website.

They all fell silent for a minute or two, then Tom shrugged and said, in a sentence that sums up an area of significant difference between (some) men and (many) women: "I don't care. They're still hooters."

Now back to Emmylou: What do you guys think about her hair, now that she's surrendered to the gray? Does that affect your affection?

WW

She's aging well both emotionally and physically. Do I like the way she looks? Yeah.......But I think the package is what I see most and why I so loved that line, "an Heirloom Rose among the Daisies." The people I have as close friends meet that desciption pretty well too.

Spaw

I just thought she was aging and still doing the best with what she has. There's always been a bit of the "beat/hippie/earth mother" look about her and age is showing the character that is, as you so well point out, prized in men......at least generally. I like that look in women too.....just a personal opinion.

Thinking of that always makes me think of Clark Gable. In his day he was considered to be a handsome man. For me, he never looked better than he did in "The Misfits" which was done just before he died. I hope that isn't a sign you're about to croak!

emmylou is one of my real heroes, one of those artists who just keeps on growing and changing. i saw her last fall on the RED DIRT GIRL tour and cried numerous times. bring kleenex to the zoo, Amergin . . .

emmylou has class, which is a lost art. she is not constricted in one genre -- traddie, singer/songwriter, or interpreter. she has immense sexual appeal but doesn't use it as smoke and mirrors. she's one of the very few Famous People these days with that kind of cred.

i admit, i want to be her when i grow up.

the zaftig version of emmy, at least.

which will conveniently fulfill that aspect of the Mudcat longing.

sigh.

I thought I was long past the time when a woman could affect me like that--but then, last year I saw her video, and when she looked at the camera
--my heart went bo-i-n-n-ng!
