Hi, Deb -
I sent news of the concert in my monthly e-mail to the Sacramento Song Circle, and there has been a little bit of interest. See you Saturday.

And Joe, thanks as well for the help getting the word out. Again, the show is at 4:00 in the afternoon, a wee bit of a change from the usual concert time. But I understand that Arts @ St. John's has a wonderful performance space.

Looking forward to seeing you again, Joe. It's been way too long.

Best,
Deb

That joke has popped up whenever I have mentioned this gig :-)

Is this the Mike that writes for the Philly Folk Mag?

Best,

Michaelr is here in Northern California, and he should have gone to Lodi, because it was a wonderful concert. Deb even paid homage to the Stuck in Lodi" song.

This is the secont time I've heard Deb in concert, and both times were absolutely delightful. She has a remarkably rich voice, and her choice of songs is very satisfying - they're songs that we folk geeks will like, but they're also very acceptable to a broader audience. Heck, she even made "Walloping Window Blind" interesting, and she slipped in a wicked rendition of "Johnny Be Fair" and even a sea chantey.

I guess what I liked best was when Deb stepped away from the microphone and sang a cappella. The concert was in a beautiful Episcopalian church, but the acoustics were a bit too "live" and swallowed up some of her lyrics. When she moved away from the mike, she filled the room with her voice, and it was lovely.

Go hear Deb. She's good.

Wish I could, being a native Stockton girl. But I live in Ireland now...

I sang in that Episcopalian church myself, years ago, but only as a visiting choir member. You're right about the live acoustics!

It was great to see Joe O again after not seeing him for a number of years.

I didn't get to see the original church, though, built in 1910.
