Ive just been reading all of your posts with great intrest, Iam also quite new to Lucinda, I first heard her about two years ago , by accident, until then I had heard her name and associated her with country music, and assumed that she was probably Don Williams daughter. One evening listening to radio 2 [uk] , there was a documentry on Gram Parsons, and Iwas impressed with his style of music , so purchased a couple of albums and since then enjoyed them, but more importantly I purchased a Gram Parsons tribute dvd [return to sin city] . I enjoyed all of the artists performing all of there versions of Grams songs, but I was blown away by the lady singing near the end of the dvd. Since then I have been a big Lucinda fan , I had the great pleasure of seen her in Glasgow last year , and next week , all been well, I am heading to The Nether lands to see her in Rotterdam and Harllem, Iam really looking forward to the combination of Lucinda and the good Dutch crowd. To sum up, I personally couldn,t describe her as anything other than a master of her craft , pure genious, nothing has moved me so much for years, [maybe Pink Floyd when I was seventeen , and that was along time ago]

Anyway, excellent insight on my singer songwriter dilemma. Very well said. I think you are right on all counts. I guess I was just thinking that it’s unfortunate if people automatically don’t give her music a chance because in their mind it fits into some kind of preconception.
I consider a diva to be someone extremely talented yet doesn’t consider themselves superior to others. A real person deep down inside who can relate well to others. More of a play on words.
So what’s a good Dutch crowd?
November 2, 2007 at 9:40 pm #34676gazelleParticipantA good Dutch crowd, well you know, a lot of nice people from the the Netherlands gathered together for the appreciation of something really good. I just listened to Minneapolis , I see what you mean about your winter, and can relate to that I live a 100miles North of where Annie Lennox is from [ same latitude as Moscow] nobody comes here, so I really need this fix.

I was just joking around talking about life isn’t fair and cold Minnesota. Actually, isn’t too bad outside right now. I was going to attach a picture from last winter of my daughter shoveling snow off our trampoline in near blizzard conditions. I thought it was kind of funny. But, I wasn’t able to figure out how to imbed a picture into a post. This is the first time I’ve ever joined a forum, so I’m a little clueless. The song Minneapolis is gut wrenching isn’t it? I’m surprised she’d ever want to come back here at all. The woman has a definite way with words. I’m a numbers person, so I really appreciate the way she can articulate her feelings and paint images.
I would love to travel to that part of the world someday. My great-grandparents were born in Sweden. My grandmother would tell me endless stories about them and what it was like there. To this day, I can still recite a Swedish prayer.
Took the kids to see the broadway musical “Lion King” today. It was very good. I would recommend anyone to go see it if they have the opportunity.
