Re: Patti at Summer Stage in NY

[bluemuse]

It was the '93 show that was so hot; it had been 100 degrees for a 
couple of days, if I remember right, and we were sitting in those 
horrible plastic Samsonite chairs, the air not moving and everyone's 
collective breath hanging in the air. TC Boyle opened up.

Summerstage for some reason doesn't acknowledge the September '96 show. 
I emailed them to let them know that this would be Patti's fourth 
appearance, but they say they have no record of that show, so it must 
not have happened. (It was not a free show, but a benefit for 
Summerstage IIRC; Patti managed to get the price down a bit, though.)

  I copied this from the SummerStage website -
What I remember about either the '93 or the '95 show was it was really 
hot
and Patti admonished the people who had brought their children.  My 
toddler
was at home so luckily I escaped her scolding.

1993 was
one of the highpoints of  the festivalbs historybbut the poet and 
rocker
is a
SummerStage favorite  and makes her third appearance having performed 
in 1993
and 1995...
