You're quite lucky. I've only had the good fortune to see them open for - -- and play along with -- Dave Matthews at the Saratoga [New York] Performing Arts Center last July. They blew Matthews away. In fact, I thought that the only good songs which Matthews played were the ones on which Béla accompanied. What do you think about the new Béla album? I find it good in some parts, but cheesy in too many others ("Communication is the only way ..." -- good message, but cosmetic). It is nothing in comparison to, say, "UFO Tofu", and certainly not in comparison to "Live Art"; the latter isn't an apples-to-apples comparison, though. I'd like to see Früvous play with Fleck sometime. If any of the band members are reading, think it over. - --Steve Stephen R. Laniel | "That's because he treats her like dirt.

I'm not armed with stats, but think of how many persons they do get to *think*. Our world has gotten a lot more complicated since *our* parents were upset about Elvis and the Beatles -- and they didn't say f**k out loud (I restrain myself so...) -- but if stickers can shake up the attention of both "liberals" and "conservatives" (quotes in bold 'cause I won't pidgeonhole anyone) it does shake us out of the complacency we've become accustomed to. And just because *we're* accustomed to it doesn't mean that we should accept it as the "norm" for the next generation....or ours. I was lucky in that my parents accepted my so-called "taste" in culture without question, but that didn't stop them from developing in me a sincere appreciation for their so-called "taste", bet it Mozart (thank God they turned me onto him!) or Errol Garner or Spencer Tracy.... When you really think about it, if parents aren't thinking, their child's tase in music is the least of our worries.

Perhaps if you concert goers follow : cee's suggestion and fill out the suggestion forms, she'll get them a shot. I : think FR is a great place to showcase EFO. Important to remember also is that Anne (who books most of FRFF) has about 8,000,000 people trying to play there, and only has one weekend to fill. If she doesn't "get" EFO, then she will pass them over until there is a large enough call from the crowd. It's business, not art. She also didn't get Camp Hoboken, but after ten years of running one of the best midnight song circles at FRFF, they've finally been given actual stage time.

(er, no... that's the wrong wording, but you know what I mean :) I swear the insert is folded backwards, and I always end up putting it in with the side that has the actual title facing inward, and "A New Frontier" on the outside... is this normal, intentional, mysterious? I was reading said liner notes the other day, and noticed that Dave is credited with doing nothing at all on Sahara. I find it very hard to believe that there would be any song where one member of the band does absolutely nothing... is this credit correct? (I'd assume one can't really judge from the live version, since, based on the instrumentation, it seems like it would have to be modified a bit...) and what is that sound in Love Set Fire? it sounds like they plugged the accordion through a distortion box, but I can't really tell. (I've been trying to figure out the chords (it's in E, I know that much), and the muffled sound of them is making my work quite difficult) I tried plugging my accordion into my amp and turning distortion on to see if was even remotely the right idea, and it seemed to work, but it sounds like there's something else going on in the recording... any ideas? (is the saxophone in that part, perhaps?) thanks! ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #147 ********************************************
