Ok you guys, you've done it - I spent the entire Alfred show trying
*not* to see Sam the Bald Eagle every time I looked at Murray and it
just didn't work. Especially the couple of times I caught him in a
slight frown. I'll never be able to look at poor Murray again without
picturing him as Sam! Of course, a very cute Sam that everyone would
theoretically want to take home and feed cookies to wearing that
cantaloupe shirt... By the way, *was* that actually the cantaloupe shirt
of ng fame? It looked much more pumpkin coloured to me but it could have
been the lights reflecting off the weird Star Trek transporter like

Additionally, I did a bit of research and found that bmurray@indiana.edu
was in fact subscribed to the mailing list.  I have since unsubscribed the
address from the list and made the user aware of the fact that email is
bouncing, though I'm puzzled as to why bounce messages were being sent

*jumps up and down wildly* Me me me me me!!!!!
I've actually loved RENT way before ever hearing fruvous, but now it's
getting hard to determine which i obsess more about...I think it's fruvous
at the moment. I finally saw RENT in TO last spring and I don't think a
theatre production has ever blown me away so much!!!! I jsut love the
music and all the messages in it and..and...and...it just rocks!!!

This brings up another question...any other broadway lovers out there?? I
highly recommend the Scarlet Pimpernel!!!! (and RENT too, of course ^_^)

This is somewhat embarrassing, but I'm pretty sure my first concert was
seeing MeatLoaf in Portland, ME when I was 15.  It was a short phase I
went through.  

My mom did a lot better...she saw Elvis in 1957, when she was 15.  I can't
imagine her screaming and swooning, but she says she did.  She also saw
Simon and Garfunkel in 1963.

Subject: Re: Harvey School, Katonah, NY 11/14

Forgive the unintentional post of the word "this". No, it wasn't a Zen review
of the show.

This was the first time I'd seen the band live, though I've been listening to
their CDs for a couple of years. It seems they are 
more of a theatre troupe than a band, though they are enough of a band to keep
me interested through just their CDs. But the 
experience of their live show is quite a bit more amplified as compared to
their recordings than with any other band I've seen. 
We (spousal unit and I) haven't enjoyed anything so much in a long time. By the
intermission we knew we would have to get 
frumiles cards, because we'd be seeing them again.

It was a funny venue; the Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse has a monthly show
to benefit the environmental/educational 
programs of the Walkabout Clearwater organization. The WC (I have to abbreviate
it, but I don't intend any cloacal humor by the 
particular abbreviation I'm using) itself is a seven-foot replica of the
Clearwater sloop that travels the Hudson river giving 
educational programs and making eco-political drama to urge the cleanup of the
Hudson (and other polluted waterways). The 
walkabout oganization carries the WC around to places where the actual sloop
can't go for the same kind of educational 
programs. There was a group out in the lobby doing a kum-ba-ya-ish singalong
thing before the show; this was the Walkabout 
Clearwater Chorus. The WC needs a chorus not so much to sing inspiring songs
about rivers and such, but to carry the WC 
itself, which must weigh a few hundred pounds (It was on display in the lobby).


So a solid half of the audience were Walkabouters, generally older, and the
other half were fans of Moxy Fruvous, generally 
much younger. There was only a razor-thin overlap. That was at the beginning of
the show. By the end many of the 
walkabouters seemed to have been converted. 

I didn't have a notepad to keep a set list, and the show was so long -- over
two hours -- that I couldn't possibly remember it. I'll 
hit some highlights:


The show was introduced by a comical fiftyish folkie who seemed a little
bemused by the whole thing with the amplifiers and all 
that; the WC has solo acoustic acts like Bill Staines and Tom Chapin. He was
funny about the fruheads down in front. Some of 
the WC folks that had been enjoying musical brotherhood in the lobby were not
too gruntled to find they had to sit way in back. 
It didn't seem like a good start. By the band calmed fears by opening with the
quiet and the familiar; "I've Got To Get A 
Message To You." 

The band took to a side aisle to do "I Love My Boss" off-mike after some cracks
about the show being in Westchester County 
and that most of the people in the audience could relate to this song because
they not only had had bosses but mostly were 
bosses, Westchester County being a synonym for "Rich". They tore over to the
opposite side to do "SpiderMan".

We were "concerned" when "Early Morning Rain" started with the odd harmonies;
one way to mess up an old folkie's 
convolutions in a negative manner is to screw around with Gordon Lightfoot . I
expect an unusually high reaction factor to 
"Gord's Gold" when the folks who bought "b" last night slip it into the old CD
player. 

Spousal unit heard more grumbling than I did from the WC folk folks. All I
heard from the elder crowd were good comments. 

When Jian asked how many people were at their first Moxy Fruvous concert, there
were almost no hands down in front of us 
(we were in about the seventh row) and practically no hands down behind us. We
were also at the point of median age in the 
audience. Practically everyone in front of us was younger than us -- most by a
long way, as we are in our mid-forties -- and 
most people behind us were our age and older. It felt good to be among the
"kids" who showed up because of Moxy Fuvous as 
opposed to the geezers who showed up because of the toy  boat. (I don't mean to
dis the WCers -- it's a good cause and we may 
go back for other events there).

I had the feeling the band enjoyed the gig after the rocky start. The attention
paid was total; I heard no side-conversation even 
though we were sitting next to an apparently unsupervised row of
11-or-12-year-old boys. Jian said at the end they had played 
"about an hour more than we were supposed to", and said they were pleased to
play at a place where it's "all about the music." 
This may just be professionalism -- any band wants the audience to think they
had a great time performing. Well, except some 
attitude-heavy alienation bands, but they don't count. It certainly seemed
sincere. 

Murray's shirt was quite ordinary. What a cool voice he has! 

This isn't much of a review and it's already kind of long. Ah, well. First try.
Now that I posted the phantom "this" I'm committed!

Regards,
Steve

I actually liked some of her stuff too. I was really too bad the crowd

at his Kit, right next to where she was playing, and shake my head in
amusmnet. 

< Their performance area was on the same level, so we had to sit on the

Jian decided to use his best English accent to politly ask everyone to sit

<The "martinique" ditty was awesome, and references kept coming up

It also came back during the Kids Song. Murray said that the people not

Someone earlier was yelling for FLY and that's what he was debating. If it
wasn't for the fact that I've only seen Raja once before I would have
voted Fly...perhaps next time....great version of Raja tho ^_^

something about how the crowd should throw stuff to the band, at which

ummm....*shy look*...that would have been me. Having never been to Alfred
before i was afraid at what the "locals" would to do if they were provoced
enough ;-). If I wasn't cringing at the thought of and angry Alfred mob
yellign "Get the Fredonia Freak!!" I was laughing hysterically. ^_^ 

Great review Angie. It brought back many things I forgot about such a
wonderful show. I'm sorry I missed meeting you :-( I will definatly see
you (and everyone else!!) at Fru Con!!!

My first concert was really special to me because I was going to see
my idol, Paul McCartney.  I was 13 at the time and I begged my dad to
take me and of course he did.  He complained the whole time that it
was elevator music but I was in absolute heaven.  NO show had ever
beaten that for me until 8 years later, the second time I saw Moxy
Früvous.  I feel like such a traitor. :)  Since I was 9 years old,
Moxy has been the only band that was able to climb above the Beatles
in my heart.  (13 years at #1 to be ousted by a bunch of wacky
Canadians. :) )

Ok, I take back what I said earlier (about her opening in Baltimore).

'XPN is playing some songs from her new album now.  On her CD, 
she actually sounds pretty good.  Hmmm.

Leave it to 'XPN to do something like this and mess up my nicely
arranged pre-concieved notions of the world.  <grumble>

:P


(Although, she is not as cool as the lady singing the song 
about cats taking over the world, that they played a little
while ago.)
