Who was the band on Letterman tonight (Friday)?
It was a band with a blond female singer/acoustic guitarist, then a regular 4
piece band plus a scratcher. I just caught part of their performance but I thought they sounded good. She has an interesting voice and all the players seemed pretty good. I didnt catch the name. Anyone know who it was? Garth~ "I think the fact that music can come up a wire is a miracle." Ed Cherney |

I interviewed her once in my radio days... she is a great person, I really
liked her music. I still have a couple of her tapes around someplace, gotta dig those out. I don't know whether or not that was her on letterman. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Now available: new Particle Salad CD "The Track Inside."

I heard her at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar in Austin in december, and she was terrific. She did a song that snagged my memory banks and I went looking for it. Turns out to be an inclusion onte her upcoming release. She has quite a few albums out, her most recent being _lost and found_ on Red House - a very fine piece of work. Good songs. -- ha |

So!?...Was it Eliza Gilkyson on the David Letterman show or is this a new
thread? No, it was Toby Lightman, according to Google. Never heard of her. Anybody? -- ha |

Anybody? I am (supposed to be) at work right now for a radio syndicator producing 28 one minute capsule reviews of new records for our affiliates. I don't write the reviews , I am just the Protools jockey who drags/drops/edits/mixes the music, VO, soundbites, stingers and commercials into the show. I heard Toby Lightman for the first time about twenty minutes ago (show 26). Her CD is now sitting under my keys. I really liked what I heard and plan to give it a good listen on the ride home. Seems like some compelling songwriting. She also sounded pretty interesting but grounded in the soundbite. Now this thread has fueled my interest. Kevin M.

Saw the show, nice singer songwriter decent band, has the problem in my opinion of lacking some melodic interest in the arrangements, typical of singer/songwriter plays guitar and no one wants to say boo situations. Yeah. I think "singer/songwriter" usually means "a person who writes decent lyrics and can also sing some". |

They need an old school producer to help take them one step
beyond if they want to be great. BRBR Are you talking about the Letterman Show performance or her album? The CD production is pretty damn interesting. Kevin M. Kelly "There needs to be a 12-step program for us gearheads" |

A little knowledge of music theory and arranging could help a lot of
the singer songwriter "artists" out there to do better justice to their material. BRBR That worries me a bit. I t took me two years AFTER I completed a BA in Music to be able to play/write pop and rock as well as I did before college. (OK, so maybe that was 30 years ago) but everything I wrote or played right after college needed to be too inctricate and tricky and usually muddied the pure intention of the song. Somebody on this newsgroups has that great signoff something like ...No amount of musical training can teach you what's so cool about "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells. He's my hero. - That's SO true. Kevin M. Kelly "There needs to be a 12-step program for us gearheads" |

BTW I did some ghost libretto writing work for a guy who used to play with
Archie Bell and the Drells when he was a high school kid, a Trumpet with one hand, Organ with the other. He also studied with Nadia Boulanger in France, and I learned a lot about polyphony and melodic development from him. BRBR I think we're all on the same team here. Learn and respect the craft, but don't loose the forest for the trees. ... something like that. I wouldn't trade classical training for anything. Working through the first movement of Bach's Italian Concerto is right up there with being the only band in the neighborhood playing the right chord inversions to Ticket To Ride. ....and speaking of respecting craft... how about the label execs who don't see any difference in buying a Digi 002 for a new artist and booking a professional studio for overdubs. We all want the same things: good song, good instument in a good room, well made transducer placed appropriately, amplified cleanly, gain reduced (or not) to taste, printed on reliable jitter (or wow and flutter) free media. How likely is all that on an amatuer's watch. Possible? - yes. Consistantly? - uh, no. I give up. I'm going to bed. Kevin M. Kelly "There needs to be a 12-step program for us gearheads" |

news:znr1078143905k@trad... I'll agree with you there. Where I go astray is that I don't see that all recorded music has to be world class. Actually I think some genres of music sound horrible recorded "world-class" (whatever that ambiguous, omnipresent-AD-jective means). |
