Hi/Bye
Leaving for Texas in a couple of days, so unsubbing for a bit (okay, so you won't notice g). Hope we are able to meet up with some of you at the BBQ, and some of the shows. Play nice folks, keep those Big Jim Egos in check, and don't let Freakwater disband until I get back... Sarah W. -- == http://www.mindspring.com/~vincebell/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==

Re: Bookstore gig question
Joe Gracey wrote: Second, when we do in-stores it is generally for free since it is to promote a record. sometimes at Borders they give us each a gift certificate, but I think this is at the whim of the person running the promotion. Also depends on whether they are selling your product or whether you are...if they order from the distributor and sell them they may pay you a little something in the way of cash or gift certificate. If you bring your own product they rarely even give the gift certificate. Sarah

David Lindley
From Marquetta Herring, who keeps an unofficial Lucinda Williams and Texas Music Kitchen pages, a note about David Lindley's death yesterday. Sarah W. I've also posted a note on the front page about Donald Lindley's death. He was her drummer in Austin for ten years. http://www.lonestarwebstation.com/lucinda.html Barry wrote to say that Donald Lindley, Lucinda's drummer for ten years in Austin, died late Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 3, 1999. He described Lindley as "one helluva drummer and a very sweet person." Lindley had been diagnosed with lung cancer just a few months ago. If there are other Lucinda fans who knew him and want to know where to send flowers, etc, we'll add details -- probably later today. A new editon of Barry's Notes is also in the works. It should go online later this evening or early tomorrow. My personal condolences to Lucinda and other friends and family.
Re: All Music Guide
Jon Weisberger wrote: Can anyone recommend or not the All Music Guide to Country Music? I haven't seen this volume, but I'd be cautious; the AMG website, while useful, isn't always reliable. They seem to have a hard time properly tracking more than one person with the same name; the most egregious mistake that I've seen in this regard, which I hope has been corrected by now, was their consolidated discography for Earl Taylor the bluegrass musican and Earl Taylor the jazz musician... My favorite being Vincent Bell (guitar player, real name Gambelli) and Vince Bell. But then again, the BMI website has them confused too. Sarah W. http://www.mindspring.com/~vincebell/
Re: LEGAL-FINANCIAL ADVICE for Twangfest
Tom Smith wrote: I'd be interested in hearing how P2 musicians handle clubs which demand that a band representative provide a SS# before payment for a gig. (Years ago, one of my associates got audited and the IRS did not accept even his cancelled checks that other band members got paid for a particular gig. Since hearing this, we've "spread the pain around" - just in case . . . ) Happens most frequently when you are playing at Universitiess and other sorts of non-profits, and passport numbers required in Europe. We've never had a problem with IRS. I am going to take a guess though that when you are making the big and/or regular bucks you would set the musicians up as employees and give them weekly checks, taxes and social security taken out, etc. That is a guess however, Sarah

I will be PD and begin doing mornings Feb 1 on WCUL in Culpeper VA and while the format is a bit too HNC for me, it does pay about 30% better and I will have a bit of room to play with the music to bring some of the disaffected country listeners (read 35+) back into the fold. The best part is I get to go head to head with the jerk that fired me and since I built the jerk's station up, I'll take great pleasure in dismantling it 1 listener at a time. Thanks for all your support P2! Congratulations, Mike...and we'll take great pleasure in the continuing sage of dismember -- oh, mantle -- ment, Sarah W.

As you will see if you visit that site, Join the Crew is a hoax. The only thing worse than hoax spam is people who send things to lists that take 20 minutes to load, yadda yadda.
