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

Big thanks to everyone who came to my Midwest shows. It was great seeing y’
all and nice to know that I have a gig singing in dorm at Monmouth College 
anytime I want (and I can bring my cats!). At least, that’s what one person told 
me. I think she was the same one who threw herself on stage after my last song … 
stop spoiling me people.

Okay, don’t stop.

It’s spring! Wha hoo! I planted a garden and mowed the lawn, did all the fun 
things that the season brings. I’m rethinking the four zucchini plants. Come 
to my summer shows and get a free zucchini with every CD purchase! 

Got several groovy gigs coming up, all in or close to North Carolina. This 
weekend I’m appearing in Durham with a slew of musicians who are in my 
songwriting group. I’m only doing 3 or 4 songs but y’all will be treated some fine 
songs by some of the best the triangle has to offer. Hey, I wouldn’t be in a 
group with any songwriting slobs.  On May 19th I’m sharing a stage with Holly Near 
in central PA. Whoo hoo!! Memorial Day weekend I’ll be at the Virginia Women’
s Music fest along with some stellar entertainment – Alix Olson, Tret Fure, 
Paprika, Wishing Chair, Ember Swift, Someone’s Sister, Laura McLean, Kindred 
and many more. It’s not a festival to be missed, women! And for you triangle 
area babes, it’s only a thee or four hour drive. Details about all the gigs are 
above.

3. This Way Out
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Way Out, a really great radio show that’s been extremely supportive of 
independent music (mine included), is losing an important sponsor.  In June you’
ll no longer be able to hear them at PlanetOut.com. The termination leaves 
the groundbreaking show not only searching for a new online home, but even more 
urgently scrambling for the funds to replace PlanetOut's $1,000 monthly 
licensing fee that has become its only reliable income.

"'This Way Out' has had its share of near-death experiences, but rarely in 
our history has the team been as anxious about its future," says Gordon, one of 
the producers. Still, he insists, "we remain optimistic about finding 
alternative funding to underwrite our modest $750-per-program budget."  Overnight 
Productions Board Chair Jon Beaupre adds, "Were trying to identify potential major 
donors, and asking for contributions and other fundraising assistance from 
anyone who can help."  

If you know of a public radio station or internet resource that might be 
interested in carrying This Way Out, give them a shout. You can also send them a 
tax deductible contribution.  To view the current carriage list of more than 
150 local broadcast stations, along with short wave, satellite to home and cable 
outlets, to make donations online (U.S. tax-deductible), or for other 
information, visit thiswayout.org, email TWORadio at aol.com, or write to "This Way Out" 
at P.O. Box 38327, Los Angeles, CA 90038.

4. Do you live in Maryland, DC or Virginia? Want to do a house concert?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

House concerts are fun. 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 and where you live.

May 21, Virginia or DC
July 14, eastern PA, Virginia, DC or Maryland
July 16, eastern PA, Virginia, DC or Maryland

5. Women in Harmony Music Camp for Women deadline for discount is soon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Women in Harmony, my music camp for women, will be June 22 -- 25 at The 
Mountain, a beautiful resort in the mountains southwest of Asheville, NC. This is 
our fifth year! There'll be fun workshops (guitar, mandolin, harmony singing, 
songwriting, drumming and more), song circles, and an open mike. All levels are 
welcome - from shower singers to intermediate players/singers. It’s like Girl 
Scout camp for adults only you don’t have to sleep on the ground. 

Save some dough by registering before May 22! You can register at  
http://mountaincenters.org/WomeninHarmony_RegForm.pdf or call 828-526-5838

All of our fab teachers are returning - Elaine Townsend, Phyllis Free, Mary 
Hocks and moi. The rooms are comfortable with a bathroom in every room, great 
meals (including vegetarian options) and fabulous extras including trails for 
hiking and a pond for swimming. The main room where most of our activities take 
place is comfortably large with great views AND a grand piano. Last year we 
spent equal amounts of time eating, singing and gazing at the rising moon over 
the deck where we all stayed.  It's $350 before May 22, $375 after that date - 
cash, check or credit - includes all programming, housing and meals. 

Check out the website for photos of this gorgeous setting. It really is on 
top of a mountain! If you want to see info and photos from our previous years,

11. The ending quotes
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to Mary for this month’s quotes

“Gay marriage should be legal, if just to raise the standard of dancing at 
receptions.” – Liz Langley

“I don’t need a baby growing inside me for nine months. If I’m going to feel 
nauseous and achy when I wake up, I want to achieve that state the 
old-fashioned way: getting good and drunk the night before.” – Ellen DeGeneres

Peace and chocolate,

Jamie
