2.  Welcome and general blabbing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Durham  is bursting with a colorful spring – brilliant yellow of forsythia, 
 deep pink of azaleas and that bright green you only see in new leaves.  
Wonderful! 
My  students had their yearly recital last month. I felt like a proud mama. 
>From an  8 year old plunking out “Skip to My Lou” to a woman who sang in 
public for the  first time, they all rocked it. I saw a lot of shaking hands 
but still, they got  through it to get some well-deserved applause. One of 
my youngest students, a  seven year old, confidently told me that she wasn't 
nervous at all. In 20 years  I’ll see her on TV. As long as she thanks me 
when she wins her Grammy, I’m  good. 
Don’t  forget about my new album, Better Than  Chocolate. Hear clips and 
buy it at _www.cdbaby.com/cd/JamieAnderson1_ 
(http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/JamieAnderson1)   You can also buy it at _www.goldenrod.com_ 
(http://www.goldenrod.com/) , _www.ladyslipper.org_ (http://www.ladyslipper.org/)  and a plethora 
of download sites  including _www.iTunes.com_ (http://www.itunes.com/) . 
I’m  doing an album release concert in Raleigh, NC in a couple of weeks. 
Details are  above. If you live in the area, please help me celebrate! If you 
know someone  here, please send them the details. I’d love to pack the place 
– not only ‘cause  it’s my new album but also because it’s a benefit for 
a really great non-profit,  SWOOP. They have monthly work days where they 
help other groups fix up their  buildings; do yard work and other great stuff. 
_www.swoop4u.org_ (http://www.swoop4u.org/)  if you want to know  more.

3. Do  you live in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
And can  you help distribute flyers for my upcoming show? If yes, e me 
(Jamie at  jamieanderson dot com) and I’ll send you a flyer. Thanks! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
4.  Review the new album 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
It  really helps when folks say nice things about my albums. If you could 
write a  short review about Better Than  Chocolate, that’d be great. You don’
t have to be the Margaret Atwood of CD  reviewers – you could say something 
as simple as “I loved it, my dog loved it,  you’ll love it.”  
Post a  review at _www.cdbaby.com/cd/JamieAnderson1_ 
(http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/JamieAnderson1)   - look for the review button at the bottom of the 
page. You have to log on to  post but you don’t have to buy the CD from them. 
You can  also post a review almost anywhere the album is available. 
If  you’re a lesbian, you can send a review to the Lesbian Connection at 
_elsiepub at aol.com_ (mailto:elsiepub at aol.com) .  
Thanks!

5. Looking for house concerts in Arizona and New  Mexico 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I’ve  got a couple of openings in November and December for house concerts. 
If you’ve  always wanted a singer-songwriter in your living room (or 
finished basement or  big dining room or?) and you’ve got an address book of at 
least 20 folks who  would come, shoot me an email and we’ll talk. Doing a 
house concert is easy and  fun. There’s no money out of your pocket, my pay 
comes from the door  proceeds. 
I’ve  been playing at house concerts since the 80’s. Here’s an article 
about  them:

6.  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.

7.  Ending quotes 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I  got these from _www.curvemag.com_ (http://www.curvemag.com/) . Three 
quotes  from three great entertainers: 
“I would like for  [Rep. Sally Kern] to move up in government. ’Cause if 
she thinks that  homosexuality is a bigger threat than terrorism, maybe she’
ll get our troops out  of Iraq, and they’ll go invade West Hollywood. 
Anything to get our troops home!”  — Wanda Sykes on The Ellen  DeGeneres Show 
“Marvin Hamlisch’s  manager called and said, ‘If you lose 60 pounds, I’ll 
make you the next Barbra  Streisand.’ I said, ‘Why don’t I gain 60 pounds 
and you can make me the next  Mama Cass, because that position is at least 
available.’ ” — Suede, during her  show on an Olivia cruise 
“I was like, ‘It ain’t  for me…but I love you.’ I realized I wasn’t gay—
and I really felt bad, because I  wanted to fit in.” — Cyndi Lauper, on 
holding hands with and kissing her  childhood friend, in the New  York Times 
At least  she tried. J
