2. Welcome and general blabbing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey everyone from windy Rochester, NY. I’m staying here a couple of extra
days after my gig here, then moving on to Syracuse and Catskill for weekend
gigs. I hope that you can come to the shows. Details are above.
Sharing housing with a three year old really gives one perspective. I’ve
learned that snuggling while watching cartoons is a Good Thing, and if you ask
for something nicely, sometimes you get it. I hope I’ve been nice enough to
get y’all to come to my shows. You can watch cartoons later, ‘k?
I’ve had a blast on this tour. Every place I’ve played wants me back and
even the Canadians get my jokes. My Ottawa audience now speaks Southern
American very well and everyone at the Wakefield, Quebec gig thought my “y’all” was
charming. Yep, that’s me, charming. And nice. Have I mentioned that?
I haven’t done any hometown (Durham, NC) gigs recently because I’m
rehearsing a new band. The Broad Street Band debuts with me on May 3 at the Broad
Street Café. No relation to the café name – I just call them that ‘cause we’
re all broads: Hollis Brown on violin and vocals, Kimberly Kornegay on
percussion and vocals, and Lou Newman on bass. I have absolutely loved rehearsing
with them and I think you’ll adore them too. Opening the show is South
Carolina duo Dalton Highway. Broad Street will also join me at the Virginia Women’s
Music Festival later in May and at Festival for the Eno in Durham in July.

3. Wanna buy some out of print Jamie Anderson CDs plus support IMA?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am participating in a charity auction for the Institute for the Musical
Arts in Goshen, MA. As some of you may know, IMA was co-founded 20 years ago by
June Millington, the rocking guitarist for the all-female band Fanny. The
purpose is to ensure that girls and women have access to the music business.
IMA is raising funds to complete their new recording studio, and they’re using
the international stage of an eBay auction to get the items in front of large
numbers of people. The auction began on March 8 and new items will be added
periodically through April. My items go up for bid on April 6. I've donated:
Three Bridges (signed) – released in 2007
A Promise of Light (signed) – 2005
Listen (signed) – 2001
Drive All Night (signed) – 1999
Never Assume (signed) – 1995, out of print
Bad Hair Day (signed) – 1993, out of print
Closer to Home LP – 1989, out of print
A Family of Friends – 1993, out of print, compilation that features “At
Karen’s House” which is not on any other Jamie Anderson CD plus the first
version of the song A Family of Friends, with Margie Adam, June and Jean
Millington, Tret Fure, Deidre McCalla, Kay Gardner, Cris Williamson and many more.
Oasis Acoustic Sampler, volume 21 – date unknown, out of print, double CD
sampler that includes my “Drive All Night” plus songs from Zoe Lewis, Jane
Voss and many more.
Oasis Acoustic Sampler, volume 27 – 2007, may be out of print, limited
edition that was never sold, compilation that contains my “Drive All Night” as
well as songs from others.
Tammies ’94 – out of print, compilation of winners from the Tucson Area
Music Awards (I was voted Best Folk Performer), contains a version of “One Out
Of Three” not available anywhere else, plus many other great artists.
You'll be able to find it by searching _www.eBay.com_ (http://www.ebay.com/)
for my name. Look for the group of items for IMA. There are single CDs that
others are selling and those CDs will not benefit IMA. (Also, some of those
CDs are not by me but a DJ with the same name.) Remember, my items go up for
bid on April 6. Don’t hesitate because they’ll only be up for a week.
Meanwhile, check out the other items up for bid including donations from Bonnie
Raitt, the Indigo Girls, Cris Williamson, Dar Williams, Ani Difranco, and David
Bowie. If you want to check out all of the items currently being auctioned
for IMA, go here:

_IMA's website_ (http://www.ima.org/) has a more thorough list of items,
and is being updated as shipments arrive. If you're not interested in buying
anything, you can just click through to Paypal from the IMA website, and donate
to a worthy cause...with their thanks.
At _www.youtube.com/imainthehouse_ (http://www.youtube.com/imainthehouse) you
’ll be able to see the progress they’ve made on the studio so far.

4. I’m the featured performer at www.indiegrrl.com!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check it out: _www.indiegrrl.com/featuredartist.htm_
(http://www.indiegrrl.com/featuredartist.htm)
There’s an interview and a couple of pics.

5. Cool videos of great women guitarists
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uh oh, Jamie’s been surfing You Tube again.
Here’s a video of Mary Ford. I know the song is corny but hot damn, can she
play. Her partner in crime there is her husband, Les Paul, the inventor of
the electric guitar and an innovator of modern recording. Mary’s work has
somehow gotten lost in the shuffle but as you can see here, she can match him note
for note. Unfortunately, Mary passed away in the 70’s. Les Paul is in his
nineties and still does a regular gig at a jazz club in NYC.

I found this band recently and hot damn, can guitarist Laura Chavez burn it
up. Last year they played at the women’s blues festival in Wilmington, NC
www.nationalwomeninblues.com. I hope they return. Be sure to watch the video on
the front page:
www.myspace.com/larapriceband
I can’t play the guitar like that – yet – but I’m hoping to have my own
videos up in a few months. Until then you’ll have to satisfy yourself with the
plethora of videos that have my cat song as a soundtrack. Just search for “
When Cats Take Over the World.” Be forewarned, they are of varying quality.
Hey, it’s You Tube.

6. Can you write a quick review of Three Bridges?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are places at many web sites where you can post a quick review of
Three Bridges. Here's one of them: _www.cdbaby.com/jamieanderson4_
(http://www.cdbaby.com/jamieanderson4) - just click on the "post a review" link at the
bottom of the page. You don't have to write anything beautifully poetic or
lengthy, a simple "I loved it, my dog loved it and you'll love it" would suffice.
You can also go to _www.amazon.com_ (http://www.amazon.com/) . Do a search on
my name and then click on one of the CD covers. Just a couple of lines under
my name you’ll see a link that’ll take you to a screen where you can write
a review.
Or, go here _http://musicishere.com/artists/Jamie_Anderson/Three_Bridges_
(http://musicishere.com/artists/Jamie_Anderson/Three_Bridges) and add a comment
at the bottom of the page
Or go here _http://www.buy.com/prod/three-bridges/q/loc/109/204820319.html_
(http://www.buy.com/prod/three-bridges/q/loc/109/204820319.html) and click on
the review button.
If you're a lesbian and feel extra motivated, you could write something a
bit longer for the Lesbian Connection: _elsiepub at aol.com_
(mailto:elsiepub at aol.com) .
Thanks!!

7. Looking for a baton twirling costume
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for a wedding dress/prom
dress in last month’s newsletter. I understand I have a couple of lovely dresses
headed my way. I can’t wait to see them! I’m still looking for a baton
twirling costume. I know they’re hard to find in a size 12 (14 might work too) but
I’ve got the baton so I figure, I should have the outfit. Why you ask? I’m
emceeing at the National Women’s Music Festival this year and I need to
dress. The pink cowboy boots and tiara will be a hit, as will my new dresses, but
a little something with sequins will just make it this year. Tyra Banks will
want me for her show, doncha think?

8. Mailing list business
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are on this list because you signed up at a concert or went online and
signed yourself up. If neither of those things happened then someone has
forwarded you this newsletter. I do not add anyone without their permission nor is
this list sold to anyone else. If you'd like to unsub, I'll cry but I won't
make you pay my therapist bill. You can do it yourself at
_www.jamieanderson.com/newsletter.html_ (http://www.jamieanderson.com/newsletter.html) . Likewise
if you'd like to change your address. Please don't forward virus warnings,
news items, jokes or petitions. With over 2,000 of you on this list it'd be
too much to keep up with the extra mail. However, I love getting mail from
fans and answer when I can: tsunamiinc at aol dot com.
