Subject: Jenny Yates @ the Kerr Cultural Center October 22nd - 8:00pm
Dear Friends, Folks and Family --
I'm writing to let you know that I'll be playing at:
ASU's Kerr Cultural Center on October the 22nd @ 8:00 pm.
An Acoustic Songwriter Concert
I was invited to participate in an Acoustic Songwriter Evening by singer/songwriter Jennifer Spector, who will playing as well as Tucson songwriter Eric Hansen.
This will not be a traditional performance -- but an "in-the-round" concert -- where the 3 of us will take turns -- playing songs, and talking about them.
It should be an enjoyable evening with a variety of musical styles.
hope to see you there -- jenny
ps: if you are a far distance from Scottsdale and have rec'vd this little note -- it's because I thought you might know someone in the vicinity who might enjoy this night. thx
Jenny Yates’ songs have been recorded by Garth Brooks, Keb ‘Mo’, Kathy Mattea, Dan Seals, and many others.
With Garth Brooks, Jenny co-wrote the HIT “Standing Outside the Fire”.

NSAI in TUCSON
Duncan Stitt has volunteered to keep the NSAI Tucson Chapter rollin’ for a while.
For more info, you can contact Duncan at duncan@theriver.com .
Hey,
NSAI workshop this Monday at Greenfire, 925 E. Ft. Lowell, 7 PM. This month the lesson plan will deal with prosody, which is the marriage of words to music. For those of you who don't believe in marriage, consider it a LTR of sorts, at least until you do another re-write. Of course, LTR's are based on compatibility. Or convenience. Or money.
(Think Anna Nicole Smith) If you want your song to last longer than a one night stand, consider making prosody, (and communication, and not forgetting her birthday) a priority.
Bring a few lyric sheets if you'd like to do a song for the group critique session. I will be subbing for Denny again this month, so please come and put in your 2 cents. (Some are born to lead, some are born to follow, and some are born to collect pennies. I have quite a few pennies, but can one ever have enough pennies?)
A penny for your thoughts.
Duncan
