Natalie Merchant to Perform Live at the 1848 Shaker Meeting House
September 27, 2009
1:30 PM
Taking advantage of the unique acoustics of the historic 1848 Shaker Meeting House, Natalie Merchant will sing both new and familiar tunes. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the education and historic preservation activities of the Shaker Heritage Society. Natalie Merchant first visited the Watervliet Shaker historic site in 1999: "I've long had a strong interest in experimental communal societies in America , the Shakers being the most fascinating to me. Knowing that Mother Ann Lee's first settlement was in Colonie, I visited the historic site. I sang in the Meeting House and was astounded by the acoustics. Since then it has been a dream of mine to perform a concert in the sacred space. I discovered that the Shaker Heritage Society was in need of funds for renovation and events that raise the profile of the historic site and their work to preserve it. September 27th will be an opportunity for us to achieve all our ends."
The 1848 Meeting House was constructed for public performances of Shaker worship which included singing and dancing. This architectural and historical gem retains most of its original interior features including built in bleacher style seating for "spectators" who observed the worship service. The worship services were one way that the celibate religious community obtained new converts. Shakers wrote thousands of spiritual songs, leaving a significant legacy that influenced many artists including Aaron Copeland and John Williams who wrote the Shaker inspired Air and Simple Gifts for President Obama's inaguration ceremony.
Over her 28 year career Natalie Merchant has earned a place among America ’s most respected recording artists with a reputation for being a songwriter of quality and a captivating performer. She began her musical career as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the pop music band 10,000 Maniacs and released two platinum and four gold records with the group between 1981 and 1993 (The Wishing Chair, In My Tribe, Blind Man's Zoo, Hope Chest, Our Time in Eden & MTV Unplugged). In 1994 Merchant began her solo career with a self-produced debut album, Tigerlily (1995). In the years following, she released Ophelia (1998), Natalie Merchant Live (1999) and Motherland (2001). In 2003 after 18 years she left Elektra Records and independently released an album of traditional and contemporary folk music, The House Carpenter’s Daughter on her own label, Myth America Records. In 2005 she was persuaded to curate a collection of her own work for a double album she titled Retrospective and another for her former band, Campfire Songs.
In 2007 Merchant was appointed by the governor of New York to serve a five-year term as a member of the prestigious New York State Council on the Arts. For the past five years Merchant has been researching, writing and recording a collection of songs adapted from the works of various classic and contemporary poets. She is currently in the studio preparing this project, her first studio album in eight years due for release in the Fall of 2009.
Tickets go on sale on August 22 and can be purchased in person at the Shaker Heritage Society Tuesday-Saturday from 9:30am-4pm or by telephone at 518-456-7890. The Shaker Heritage Society and 1848 Meeting House is located directly across the street from the main entrance to Albany International Airport off of Heritage Lane.

A poets house by any other name
By BRIAN NIEMIETZ
Last Updated: 10:08 AM, September 26, 2009
Posted: 12:47 AM, September 26, 2009
ROSES are red, violets are blue, writing good poetry is a difficult thing to do. But for New York’s aspiring bards, it’s about to get easier, thanks to the grand opening of the new Poets House in Battery Park City. And the poets are inviting us all to the opening gala, which starts with tours, music, readings and more today at 11 a.m.
Since 1895, this library and workshop combination has housed poets and poetry alike. From 1990 through 2007, it was a comparatively intimate SoHo loft. Now, thanks to contributions from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others, the rent on this $8.7 million, 11,000-square-foot pad with 50,000 volumes of poetry in its collection and a panoramic view of the Hudson is paid through 2069.
“Doesn’t everyone get rich from poetry?” laughs Dave Johnson, an accomplished writer and poet who lectures at Yale University, the New School University and the Cooper Union School of Art. Johnson and more than a dozen other top poets — including Pulitzer Prize winner Phil Levine — will be reading at today’s festivities.
“I have two fees — one which is exorbitant, and one is free,” says Levine, whose accolades also include a pair of National Book Critics Circle awards. For his efforts Saturday, the latter fee will apply.
In addition to these readings, attendees on the Poets House’s front lawn will be treated to the musical stylings of ’80s pop star and former 10,000 Maniacs singer Natalie Merchant as well as musician/poet Kurt Lamkin.
For those whose dealings with poetry are limited to the ranting of a recently dumped teenager in an East Village coffee shop, Johnson feels your pain.
“I’ve been to my share of bad readings,” he admits.
“A bad poem is a bad poem. If you’re in a bar, you try to get yourself distracted.” But here, where the talent alike is as rich as the setting itself, distractions won’t be necessary.
“The audiences really want to see new faces. They want to see the old ones, but they really want to see rising stars,” theorizes Levine, whose first encounter with poetry in New York City was seeing Dylan Thomas read at the 92nd Street Y. Calling poetry’s present and future in New York City “healthier” than when he was coming of age, the 81-year-old scribe says, “There’s an enormous variety in American poetry. There’s a lot of people whose work I can’t even read, but I’m glad they’re there.”

I ran into a man who used to run the emergency program for ST Chris. He recognized me and reminded me that he ran into me 5 years ago in my neighborhood. He reminded me that we worked together 20 years ago. He is now a poet and teacher. Damn if i know his name
My pictures from the event were lost in my memory card. I lost over 200 Natalie Merchant photos.... Wouldnt she have loved to know that those are gone? pleasure with some empathy.
I spoke to Natalie and informed her that I was the woman who sent her the Nathalia Crane book of poetry that I found. She asked me if knew if it was a first edition, signed copy. I said I knew what I sent to her. I found it shortly after her Hiro show when she premiered the childrens' poetry music and thought it belonged to her, more meaning for her. We talked about Nathalia Crane. She thanked me again. I thanked her for the show and card she sent when she received it.

Concert Review: Rosanne Cash at the Greene Space, NYC 9/23/09
Concert Review: Rosanne Cash at the Greene Space, NYC 9/23/09
September 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment
The great thing about shows at the Greene Space is that many of them are broadcast live on WNYC and then archived at the station’s site, where you can find this particular one. That’s right, you don’t have to take our word for it, go right to WNYC and hear the amazing little set Rosanne Cash played this afternoon on Soundcheck with John Schaefer. She has a new album coming out titled The List, based on a hundred-song list her dad gave her when she was eighteen. “This was a guy who listened to everything, metal included,” Johnny Cash’s daughter took care to point out, but her dad’s compilation was basically Americana, a “musical genealogy,” she explained, a not-so-subtle hint for a teenager who up to that point had gravitated closer to the Beatles than to classic country. She’s done plenty of covers, but this will be her first all-covers album – and since there’ll still be ninety or so more songs on her dad’s list that she won’t have on this cd, a second volume seems likely as well.
Backed by a five-piece, electric two-guitar band who played the songs with unabashed relish, Cash soared wounded and sultry over her husband John Leventhal’s smartly counterintuitive countrypolitan arrangements. In the studio, she’s finely nuanced – live, there are few others (Jenifer Jackson is one) who can find so much emotional subtlety yet still pack such a wallop – if she’s been injured, you can tell from just a minute inflection of her voice where she’s been hit and what caliber the shell was. Yet her stage presence is casual and amusing, not bad for someone carrying a legacy that would crush plenty of other artists (in addition to her own: Black Cadillac is every bit as good as anything her dad ever did)
The Hank Snow standard Movin’ On swung casually but incisively, as did Jimmie Rodgers’ Miss the Mississippi. Sea of Heartbreak (a duet with Bruce Springsteen on the album) was understated in the tradition of the 1961 Don Gibson original. They wrapped up the set with Long Black Veil, Cash not bothering to change the lyrics to fit traditional gender roles – when she got to the end of the chorus, “nobody knows,” the intensity was something considerably beyond wrenching.
You can hear the complete show at WNYC, including some commentary by Bebel Gilberto (who has a new album out as well) and NPR critic Tom Moon – who seems to be a decently aware classical/jazz guy whose knowledge of rock ends right about 1976, the end of the boomer era – about music as a legacy for future generations.

people I meet
Monday, I went to the doctor and was talking to a woman who lives in Brooklyn. I never met her before. Today, I found myself on Houston and Broadway and she was crossing the street. It was 330pm. She recognized me and stopped to talk.
I saw Lou and Eliot at the Rosanne Cash taping. Lou always shows up at Rosanne Cash shows and Eliot doesnt work so he is free..

dreams
I dreamed that my mentor Barb that I recently reconnected with was conducting a workshop in a ballroom of a hotel. There were chairs and long tables with pink clothes. She had the chairs in the front of the room in a semi circle. it was a small group and I took and active role in keeping the communication between members flowing. I used the reflection skills that I have now to reframe what others are saying. I remember that Barb's adult daughter was around. Also my sister was there in a second scene. In the second or third scene, I thought i lost my Ipod but i just misplaced it. I knew it had to be somewhere but could not locate it.

Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
I'm embarrassed to confess that when I'm shopping for an herbal supplement I've never bought before, my choice is unduly influenced by how much I like the packaging. For example, I might opt for the brassy orange and white bottle with bold black lettering over the brand with the washed-out blue-green color scheme and delicate purple font. I hope you won't fall victim to any version of my folly, Capricorn. It's especially important that you make your decisions based on a piercing analysis of the inner contents, not a superficial survey of the outer display.

Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
While I'm pretty much a genius when it comes to the meaning of Kurt Cobain's lyrics, the art of cooking perfect scrambled eggs, and the secrets of being a good listener, I'm an absolute idiot about how a car engine works, how to make money on eBay, and how to craft a foreign policy that would deal effectively with Pakistan. What about you, Capricorn? What are you dumb about? This is an excellent time to cure your ignorance about any subject that will be important for you to be smarter about in the future.
What blessings

dream
I have been having a series of dreams about my father. I dreamed that he rearranged the bedroom where I grew up. In the dream, I used the room and he rearranged the room because he was to lime up the center line to maximize the heat. He was to turn it on its side and split the room in two. (the issue with the bedroom is that when he had renovation done when i was 13, he removed the heater from our bedroom- since then we always had to use a space heater). He changed the room around to maximize the heat.
I also dreamed that I was at a university campus library, I got there early to get copies of books that I needed for a class that I was taking. I knew that I was beating the students to the material and using my privilege. I searched for the books, found them, started to check out. I ran into some people, felt delayed but accomplished because I had the material. The librarian and Director of the Manhattan campus were there and said it was not a problem if i did not have my library card. I woke before I could check out with the books but I had two thin books in my possession.

Capricorn Horoscope for week of September 10, 2009
What if a billion Chinese people jumped up into the air at the same exact moment? Would they create, at the moment they landed, a shockwave that would cause an earthquake on the opposite side of the world, in Chile and Argentina? No one knows. I'd like to propose a not unsimilar but more interesting experiment. What if every Capricorn who reads this horoscope reserves one minute at exactly 1 pm EDT on September 12, and during that time you all meditate intently on a single glowing thought, which is this: All of you Capricorns deserve an act of uncanny grace that will help free you from one of your most oppressive beliefs.
