Mary Chapin Carpenter was OUTstanding Last Night !
Small venue (1,000) Great crowd. Great Seats (5th row, Center).
and the pre-concert dinner at "Athena" was scrumpscious!

3. She records here in Nashville a lot . . .
but I don't know if she lives here. One of my kid's teachers was a friend of hers, and I vowed that if I ever met her I was gonna ask her out (we were both single at the time). I know that sounds stupid, but hey, this is Nashville. Country singer is just another job to us.

4. Please put me on your list, GalleryGod. MCC is a treasure.
It's hard to argue with any of her compositions, but I have a very special spot for 3:

"This Shirt"

"Just Because"

and

"Other Streets, Other Towns"


Is she releasing a new CD? I hope so.

12. Ah! A 2nd encore suggest the audience liked what they were hearing.
Why didn't you ask MCC to come over to my neighborhood afterward for a second show?

I would have been first in line.

I am very happy you got to hear her. She's a sensibility I trust very much, not to mention a great songwriter and singer.

5. What small venue?
I'm glad you had a great time. I don't know that much about her, but what I do know of her, I like...Didn't she do a song: "Sometimes you're the bug.." or something like that?

7. Keswick Theatre in Glenside, Pa.
That's her!
You've heard "Passionate Kisses",too.
and "He thinks He'll Keep Her"

Keswick Theatre only holds 900.
Premium Seats were only $49.00 each, which = 25% of the tickets we got for "Billy Crystal on Broadway: 700 Sundays"

6. What a woman.
MCC is smart, beautiful, kind and accomplished. I don't really care for country music, but I truly enjoy MCC's work. Thanks for giving MCC her props, GalleryGod. :hug:

8. I Had her "booked" at Goucher College in 1991-but she had to drop-out
due to Strep Throat.
I was Director of Student Activities, thus, the "booking" reference.
It was part of the job; the "fun" part.

Mary is a dream to work with. I never miss her,when she passes through the Greater Delaware Valley.:applause:

11. I LOVES that Woman!
Saw her playing a Rickenbacker electric (on the Passionate Kisses video, IIRC) and got smitten-er!

13. I like her quite a bit.
MCC is a wonderful artist, IMO. She's certainly not afraid to straetch the boundaries of "country" music.
