got you on my mind

Well, well.... I took a vacation from this board for a while, but it
looks as though I'm not the only one interested in this topic---
nearly 1000 hits!.

Some thoughts:

Kudos to Rich for putting "Got You on my mind" on the
madeleinepeyroux.ORG website discography. (I wonder how
many people realize that there are two Madeleine sites?

Thanks to the fans that backed me up on this. Democracy
in action!

I recommend that people check out that jazzpolice.com article.
It seems to get to the bottom of this miserable business
regarding "Got You on my mind".

I just sort of wish Rounder and Madeleine would say
SOMETHING in their defense. (Otherwise, I guess they deserve
what they'll get in court). (c'mon guys!)

Looks like Maddy is in Australia. They should love her over
there.

Best to y'all,

Dear baranroma,

I do hope I can see them play live one day...but I'm afraid it won't be here in Galicia. If you compare the number of concerts and musical events here to the busy schedule of Barcelona you would understand me... there's a 3 year old Jazz festival in the area, maybe that way in the summertime... Or maybe Vitoria, Donostia ... but that is quite far from this remote but extremely beautiful place.

Who knows anyway...one day I came across a guy who really looked like the late Johnny Copeland here in Santiago. 10 minutes later a friend of mine gave me a ticket for a concert that night. It was Johnny Copeland and let me tell you it was one of the greatest ever gigs I attended.  I hope to have a bifg surprise like that one one day...

Hi everyone. I am writing from Santiago de Compostela, a very old city in Galicia, NW of Spain. It was here where I on 21st April 1997 I got into a record shop and came across what I thought was an interesting record. I didn't know anything about MP then. It was having a look at the credits that I thought I had to listen to the record. Of course it was DREAMLAND and of course I bought it and immediately fell in love with that voice. I loved every second and every note on the album. Maybe someone with a deeper knowledge of music than me would tell me about its imperfections, if there are any. I would not mind. My love for it would not diminish and I would gently answer I love those so-called imperfections. After frustrating years of wait I finally found out Careless Love was being released by Rounder. I ordered my copy through the net as I didn't want to wait 6 further months until it came out here. It was then when I found Got You On My Mind. I love both records and I cannot think of any MP fan who would not want to get both albums. Careless Love is a dream of an album and it immediately became an important part of the soundtrack of my life and so did the heartfelt and honest effort that the magnificent Got You On My Mind is. Most artists would sell their souls to the devil or kill for making an album like that so I can hardly understand why so much controversy and trouble. The fact that so many gifted and talented musicians have gathered to create these songs, this music, should be enough to just enjoy the music and let the world know about it.

Thanks a lot for reading...

I completely agree that Shannon is a great drummer, he spent several year's touring with Harry Connick, Jr. Judith- the Kermit you mentioned seeing with Shannon is
Kermit Ruffins. He's a fantastic trumpet player and singer, much in the style of his idol, Louis Armstrong. Kermit was a founding member of the Rebirth Brass Band and has for the last several year's his own Band - Kermit Ruffins and the Barbeque Swingers.<br>

Madeleine has been getting some good airplay up here in Chicago on WXRT 93.1. I'm very excited about seeing her at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. She's also suppose to be in Chicago in June. Hopefully Madeleine will be able to hang out in New Orleans for a few day's.
It would be incredible to see her sit in with Kermit and his band or even record together. Every Thursday night Kermit and his band plays in New Orleans at a place called Vaughan's -that's the place to see him. In between sets, there's free red beans and rice or Kermit starts to barbeque - hence the name the Barbeque Swinger's. Kermit is going to be in Chicago on April 16th and I'm going to hang out with him and have him listen to Madeleine's Cd.
Can't wait to see her!

Oh my. I just realized that I reffered to Higglety as Mr. Higglety.
Please forgive if it is Ms. Higgelty or Mrs. Higglety!
