   Again, the point here is that it WAS the live experience that was 

disappointing, which was surprising. You seem like a nice guy. I'm glad 

you enjoy her as much as you do. Maybe she'll read this and offer a 

private concert to make it up to me. Then I'll find out.

	Not the song, the way it was sung. I wasn't used to that rough earthy naturalness. ( Times they are a'changin ' by the way) I first heard Madeleine in a small blues club, some years ago.I had never heard of her at all. She was unlike anything I had EVER heard . Music coming from some ethereal deeps,rarely seen.The records are fine , and very beautiful but in person is really a must with her to get the whole picture. What I am saying, and I respect your intelligence or I wouldn't repeat it. Is that there is a great deal going on here and I think that you will get to it in time.The dylan Anecdote was given to illustrate that we can, in time revise our opinions in large ways. I didn't know what I was hearing.......But I found out. Edited by Byron

	Wonderful anecdote there, Byron, but this is not about "not getting it". I dug her record, that's why I was there. I'm simply talking about her performance that night. Hey, what was that first Dylan song you heard that you found so offensive? Tell me quick man, I got to run.

	I remember when I first heard Bob Dylan, years ago. My first response was " What IS this?" That was my early response. I went on to collect all his records and attend every concert I could find. Madeleine is not your average singer.But study her more. I think you'll find it worth the effort.

	No, she sucked. I was there. The standing ovation I can only imagine was the result of the more reality challenged in the crowd. Half of us were glued firmly in our seats. Iris Dement did a short opening set that was honest and endearing. She got a big hand from the crowd and deserved it. Peyroux benefited from the "...well, it must have been good, she's the headliner" part of thr audience, I guess.

	A standing ovation would indicate something. Perhaps beauty and music, are in the eye of the beholder.

	Getting back to why the object of all this attention was so awful the night I saw her, anybody have any theories? Was it just a bad night, and if so why did she suck again in Salt Lake? Hunderd bucks worth of tickets down the drain. Hey, maybe I should sue somebody!

	Congratulations to cornishjazz for being like the little boy in the Emperors new clothes who said the truth. I returned to this site to see it overun by what appear to be sharks closing in for the kill. And the object of attack? One of the finest artists and people it has ever been my fortune to know.

	It seems to me entirely reasonable that the posts of someone who is actively suing you be restricted from your website! I find it admirable, even astonishing, that any of W. Galison's posts have been permitted here. Am I alone in finding this topic tedious? Or is it true that conflict is the only entertainment that we get off on these days?

	Hhmmm, censorship! The forum says "disucssion of all things Madeleine". I guess that means all things that you deem "appropriate". Cesnoring Galison makes this site nothing but a Madi Gush Site. Certainly Madeleine could have responded to her fans. SO could Rounder. They prefer to say nothing and you decide what other can say. I won't be back to this site. Cheers
	Cheers!
