2. Welcome and general blabbing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy summer y’all! Damn what a time I had in the last month or so. I did 
some NC gigs in mid June (who knew there were lesbians in Ayden?) then later it 
was Women in Harmony, my women’s music camp near Asheville. I know I said in 
the last newsletter that it was the last one but the campers this year almost 
have me talked into doing it again. If I can swing it I’ll let y’all know. We 
had so much fun this time it’d be a shame to let it go. Nothing like singing 
and eating for three days straight.

Last weekend I performed at the Festival for the Eno in Durham, NC. My first 
performance was on the biggest stage right before Dar Williams and then 
Melissa Ferrick. It was enough to make this folksinger press her thighs together … 
Dar even mentioned me in her set bless her heart and Melissa kept thanking who 
ever got her to the festival. It was me who recommended her to the festival 
organizer so I wanted to run up to the stage and shout ME! It was ME! But 
believe or not I had a shyness attack. All right, I’m lying – my friends held me 
down. I wonder if Melissa heard the screaming? My second set was a quieter one 
at the Chimney Corner stage. Such a delight to play for an attentive crowd 
there, among the peaceful trees. Even felt brave enough to play a few new songs. 

I leave tomorrow for the National Women’s Music Festival. I’m not doing a 
musical set but I’ll be emceeing and doing some workshops including a “decorate 
a bra for Jamie” workshop. We’ve got a bedazzler, bits of ribbon and fabric, 
and some really cool cheap bras from Ross’ Dress For Less. If you want to 
participate, bring your own stuff to attach to a bra and you may win a fabulous 
prize. Oh, and they have a really fab lineup that includes Lisa Koch, Ellis, 
Alix Olson, Nedra Johnson, Margie Adam and many more. Shoot, I’m even bringing 
my baton. Y’all come out and celebrate the longest running women’s music 
festival on the planet. More at www.wiaonline.org

Coming up later this month I’ll be in Maryland, eastern PA and Fayettevill, 
NC. Whoo hoo! More details above.

3. Website update
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My website has been updated. Check out the new photos at 
www.jamieanderson.com/photos.html 
As always, you can download songs for free at 
www.jamieanderson.com/music.html  If you want more songs and you can shell out a few pennies for ‘em, there 
are lots of sites where you can do that, just google my name. I’m at something 
like 30 sites including iTunes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Do you live in West Virginia, Ohio or Michigan? Want to do a house concert?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

House concerts are a blast. It's like giving a great party with live music. 
All you need is space that seats 20 or more plus a good mailing list of 
friends. Even if you've never done it before, I can guide you through the process. 
Give me a shout at office at jamieanderson.com if you might be interested. 

Here’s what I’m looking for right now. Even if you can’t help me with these 
dates and/or places, let me know if you might be interested in hosting a 
concert at another time and where you live.

August 4, West Virginia or Ohio
August 5, Ohio or Michigan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. My song is charting at Sirius OutQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last week “Gone” from “A Promise of Light” was at number 18. This week it’s 
at number 6. Check it out: www.sirius.com/outq

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. Openings for guitar students
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you live in the triangle cities area of North Carolina and you’re looking 
for a guitar teacher then I’m your woman. Well, not exactly *your* woman. I 
have openings on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Convenient location in central 
Durham. All styles but classical. Beginners on up. Adults and kids seven and 
older. office at jamieanderson.com

7. Michele Balan on Last Comic Standing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You may know this great comic  because we’ve shared gigs and from her 
performances in Provincetown, women’s music festivals or gay cruises. She’s a hard 
edged New Yorker who never fails to make me laugh. She’s on the popular reality 
TV show Last Comic Standing, seen on NBC Tuesday nights. She’s doing very 
well and is still on the show. Tune in! More at www.nbc.com/Last_Comic_Standing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8. Camp Sisterspirit Still Needs Our Help
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had to shut their food bank because they ran out of goods to offer. They 
are saving what little is left in anticipation of another busy storm season. 
If you could donate even a dollar (but I hope it can be more) you’ll really 
help them out. Donate at www.campsisterspirit.com or mail a check to PO Box 12, 
Ovett, MS 39464
