Katie in Concert
| 
Nov 16 03:42 UTC 1996 |
Katie Geddes and her band of friends sang a fine concert tonight
at the Green Wood Methodist Church. Katie's songs drew mostly
on singer-songwriters from the 1970's to today; it was fun to
hear old classics like "Suzanne" which I haven't heard for ages.
Quite a few Grex and M-net people were in the crowd of about 100.

Katie has an incredibly versatile voice. She can sing a
soft ballad with delicate tenderness then turn right around
and deliver a powerful standard with a sensual huskiness
and then switch again to a smooth liquid-voiced piece of
jazz. All in the same set. Amazing. I enjoyed the concert
a whole lot.
Mark (aruba) gave Katie roses as she took her bows. It was a
wonderful final touch.

Grexers (and m-netters) in attendance, who I spotted:
katie of course, and marae singing harmony in the band;
chelsea, remmers, aruba, keats, krj, arabella, and chelsea's
sister Pat Ballard, whose Picospan days didn't overlap with mine,so
I don't know her login.

It was "ballard", amazingly enough. Her husband Richard, also
in attendance, used to M-Net -- his login was "teach".
Immensely enjoyable concert. Wonderful singing by Katie, and a
fine backup band as well.

I'm sorry I missed it, but the timing was bad. While most of y'all were
sitting in one audience hearing Katie sing, I was sitting in a different
audience hearing Janice sing.

Mark Brokaw on guitar, MIke Fedel on guitar/bass/background vocals,
Joe Spaly on drums, Tom Wachterhauser on keyboards/egg, Marae Price
on guitar and backup vocals, and Jen Hughes on percussion. Jen is a
fiddler, but broke her arm before the concert.

Yeah, I was bummed about Jen's arm; I would have loved to have heard
the show with the fiddle.
I noticed that remmers' head kept bouncing -- with enthusiasm? --
on the two songs which were written by Gillian Welch, so I'll
mention that Ms. Welch has a show coming up at the Ark on December 3.
I'd be happy to loan you her CD if you're interested, John.

"Orphan Girl" was one, and I need to scratch my head a bit to
remember the title of the second.
