<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The biggest news is
that I’m recording another album! I’ve found a great producer in Asheville and
multi-instrumentalist Kara Barnard will join me. I’ll go into the studio in late
2009 or early 2010. Why am I telling you now? My fans have always been generous
in helping me finance my recordings and I’m hoping you can come through for me
again. Just go to <A href="http://www.jamieanderson.com/">www.jamieanderson.com</A> and click on
“Help Jamie put out her new album.” There’s a PayPal link there or if you’d
rather, you can print out the form and mail it to me. In addition to pre-sales,
I’m also looking for folks who can lend me $1,000 or more. I know, it’s a lot
but this project will cost about $10,000. As an independent songwriter that’s
more than my checkbook will ever have but it's peanuts to Sony – they could
easily spend that much on one song. So really, my project is a bargain.

time on my August tour. I found out that the Square Café in Pittsburgh has
fries that are better than crack and I also was reminded how much I adore Tracy
Drach, who shared the bill. <st1:City w:st="on">Indianapolis</st1:City> didn’t
have as big a turnout as I would’ve liked but I guess that’s what I get for
scheduling a gig so close to the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Michigan</st1:place></st1:State> festival. However, it’s all about
quality and not just quantity and I met some really nice folks there. I also
performed in Hart, MI, with Ruth Barrett, on the night before the festival. What
a peaceful, wonderful show that was. I love Ruth’s calm energy and she kicks
booty on that dulcimer.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

theme? Sure I loved doing a little mini-Midwest tour but it was kind of a plot
to get me to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Michigan</st1:place></st1:State>. I love that festival. I
always strut away feeling like I should be wearing a suit with a cape. I
taught bellydance, songwriting, led a couple of bluegrass jams and worked for
Goldenrod. I discovered that I have fans who don’t even know my music, they just
show up at the Goldenrod booth every year and ask what new CDs I
recommend. And damn, there were some amazing albums. I went home with Sarah
Bettens' new one “Shine” as well as the new Janis Ian (I can’t wait to read her
autobiography), a double CD reissue from the Indigo Girls (hey, I’m a lesbian,
it’s national law that I own “Closer to Fine”), the new Catie Curtis, Erica
Wheeler’s wonderful "Good Summer Rain" (damn can she write) and a band new to
me, The Dollyrots, with one of my favorite all-time new songs “Because I’m
Awesome.” Now there’s one to blast in the car with the windows
down.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I was a DJ at KXCI in
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Tucson</st1:place></st1:City> for six
years. I loved to play Louden Wainwright’s “I Wish I Was a Lesbian.” It’s a
funny song but I worried that I’d get a call from an angry listener. The phone
rang but it was always someone laughing their butt off. I decided that if folks
liked it so much that I would learn it. I quickly realized, duh, I AM a lesbian,
so I thought, well really, I want to be a straight guy. Think of all the things
I could do! So I made a list – wear ugly clothes, fart loudly, make more money,
feel safe … it was a long list. I put it all together with a melody, then got
worried so I played it for all my straight guy friends. My friend Ted pretty
much summed it up when he looked at me thoughtfully and said, “Jamie, I don’t
think you have anything to worry about.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I recorded “I Wanna Be
a Straight Guy” on “Drive All Night” then re-released it on “Three Bridges.” I
got one piece of hate mail, a couple pages long, from a woman who “couldn’t
believe I wanted to be a heterosexual male.” (If I did, whose business was it?)
Most like it, even the conservative crowd at a <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nashville </st1:place></st1:City>café who later booed me for an evil
song about Bush. A college audience in upstate <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> didn’t laugh but I found out later
that they’d studied the song for a women’s studies class and had heard it a
bunch of times. Studied it? They were doing a unit on male privilege. Who knew
that’s what it was about? I just want to pee standing up.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I had fun recording
the song, especially the burps at the end. Even after chugging a soda I had
trouble getting some good ones so my producer, Jim Henry, rushed in with a can
of pop and offered to give it a try. We had the engineer roll the tape and
just as the last chord faded we threw the soda down the gullet and did our best
effort. I let out a tiny "urp" but Jim ... well, he's a straight guy. I laughed
so hard I thought I'd need oxygen. When we mixed it, Jim wanted to delete
them. “I thought we were just goofing around” he helpfully commented. Uh, Jim,
it’s comedy.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
