I’m a huge fan as well. Was taken to see my first show at Central Park Summerstage I think in 2002 and haven’t missed an NYC appearance since. Not a week goes by when she’s not on the stereo, and not a day goes by around cd release times. But having said that, I’m passing on the Garden show this week because of the set lists. I joined the board here a few years back to plead to the gods that she’d do older material because each time I saw her she was premiering new material. In Central Park, a year before WWT released she sang something like 5 songs (forgive me if I’m not totally accurate here). A few years back we already saw her do Jailhouse Tears and other Little Honey material.

The gift she gave us all were the full album nights. They were too good, really, and fortunately we were able to savor them with the cd releases.

But as someone posted in the Records forum, it’s time to stop complaining and accept she’s moved on. At least those who want to hear the remaining half of Little Honey they haven’t already heard live before will have something to look forward to (along with Change the Locks again, and, I’d add, Joy).

But I wouldn’t be surprised if I buy a last minute ticket on Friday afternoon, though…

Does anyone know where to send Lu a fan letter? I’d love to write her my special thanks.
