[dar-list] Dar at Zankel Hall

[Sharon G]

To truly understand what a special night it was, you have to know that
Zankel Hall is a theater in basement of Carnegie Hall. It was a cinema
that has been remodeled to be acoustically perfect. The stage is
bordered by paneling and many times and shades of wood. The seating is
auditorium where no one blocks another person. THere are two balcony
spaces that border the place. Rita Houston introduced Dar and comment
on how Dar was played on WFUV as a treasure and since 1993 Dar has
been a regular in rotation. Rita spoke to the " classics" that Dar has
written over the years and it was good to hear Rita say that Dar
Williams songs are classics, i have thought that for  a long time...

Dar dressed in green entered the stage with only her guitar... in no order

Calling the Moon
Teen for G-d
Rainy Night House ( dar talked about the Joni mitchell event upstairs
over a year ago and replayed her Joni Mitchell classic)
Are you out there ( dedicated to WFUV) with FUV stories
The babysitter
I had no right
Rise and meet the day
the one who knows

Two NEW SONGS
Holly Tree - based on the salem witch trials or religious fever that
will cause discrimination.... or alientaion

Buzzer- based on the Milgram Experiments of 1960 and Dar's reading the
Obedience of Authority
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_Experiment
She told a story of Shawn Colvin dream where they were to sing arias
and Shawn was singing and she got the "good" one
Dar realized the dream gave her the tune to this song so.... She got
the Good one From Shawn....

WHen i was a boy

mercy of the fallen
Christians and pagans not let it snow.... ( dar met Mickey mouse at
lincoln center.)

the audience was polite but knew when to sing along.. THERE were calls
for IOWA and the Hudson from the crowd but after two encores and
standing ovations.... the Night was owned by Dar....

susan Moss i tried to call you during RNH but there is NO reception
down under carnegie hall....



Dar had new stories


-- 
But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman and I see with a woman's eyes
And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes
It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve

And I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopherver mary chapin carpenter

sage advisor, does weary mean wiser
