Hey y'all sorry for the long break but I was folk festing. Dar was smashing at Hillsdale in Guelph, Ont. And she even didn't  sing a song especially for me : ) I really wanted her to sing Another Mystery, she said uh-uh but I'll sing After All. So that was excellent.

• Media Alert: The August 5 issue of Billboard features a very prominent article on Dar on page 13.           Thanks to Kerry Bernard for the info.
• Dan Nooter has written a short missive on the literary meaning of The Green World. It's a very interesting read so I'm putting it in the library.
• Dar told me they're going to be doing a video for What Do You Love More Than Love. So there's something to look forward to.
• Katherine Wheatley will be opening for Dar at the show in Toronto on Sept. 26. I listened to her CD and her lyrics are witty and wise and she has some powerhouse Canadian performers playing on the songs. I look forward to it.Tickets for the show  will be available (at last) next week from Richard Flohil at (416) 351-1323

• A reminder that tomorrow, JULY 27 from 8-9 PM, The WFUV Long Player: Dar Williams' new release The Green World can be heard in its entirety. If you're in New York City you can listen on the radio, if you're not you can listen to WFUV online.
• Not much today I'm afraid. I was, however, discussing opening acts for Dar's show in Toronto. There'll be no Catie Curtis and no Toshi Reagon but a homegrown act. I'll let YOU know when I know.

• I'm going to be at Falcon Ridge this weekend so there'll be no updates until Monday night, at the earliest.
• A short note from Patty regarding Dar's Sept. 16 show at Penn State:
• I called for info on the September 16 -State College, PA show and was informed that this show is currently a "those with student ID" show.  I inquired as to whether the public could possibly fill any unoccupied seats IF  there are any.  I was told that they may be willing to accommodate fans for a small fee, but students get first shot and the good seats because it is paid for by the student activity fund.  He said to call back in a few  weeks.

• An article about Dar and the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival from the New York Times has been added to the library.
• A few minor changes to the tour schedule and information about the dates Toshi Reagon will be opening for Dar on the news page.

• I've put up one of the new series of press photos on the gallery. As soon as I can lay my hands on more, I'll post them. Also on the gallery page, you can link to a new wallpaper I created for the Green World.
• Fleming/Tamulevich, Dar's booking agency, have put up an updated biography. Get there from the library.
• A small update to the FAQ.

• There's a note from Ron, Dar's manager, about overseas dates and some of the changes made to her original fall tour schedule.
• I dug up another radio broadcast, this time of Cry, Cry, Cry from 1999 on Michigan Live's Acoustic Cafe. Links from the library page.
• Also added to the  library page is Dar's song-by-song introduction to End of the Summer. I know she did these for at least EOTS and Mortal City but I've only been able to find this one. If anyone knows where I might get the text for the others, let me know.

• Ron, Dar's manager has sent a tour update including new dates and the band who'll be travelling with Dar as well as her guests (one of whom is Catie Curtis) for some of the shows. More information on the news page.
• On the library page, I've added a link to a webcast on the Rolling Stone website. It was recorded at The Park West in Chicago on Mar. 10/97.

• Added a few more articles to the library. One is really recent from last weekend's Winnipeg Folk Festival (Thanks Val for the info) and another has a cool picture that I haven't seen anywhere else.

• FOR UK FANS: Info on how to pre-order copies of The Green World.

• Revised tour dates for the fall tour in the news section.
• Information and an update on Dar's charity, the Snowden Environmental Trust.

• Wanna hear the recorded version of Spring Street? Here's how:

If you are willing to make an effort and can listen to Windows Media Player (available for the Mac as well) sound streams, you can hear Spring Street from TGW.  Vin Scelsa played it today on his internet radio show called Live at Lunch.  The shows are archived.  If you go to  www.artistent.com and click on the link for Vin Scelsa's Live at Lunch and then click on the link for the archives and then click on the link for the 7/5 show, and then move the slider to 1:44:29, you can hear it.
Thanks to Jeff Bernstein for the info.
• A reminder that today from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Radio/TV Woodstock will be broadcasting the  CLEARWATER FESTIVAL, which occurred the weekend of June 17-18. The great Hudson River Revival with  over 100 musicians, puppeteers, talltales and tall ships, all videocast online at RadioWoodstock TV.

• I finally found the copy of the article that Dar wrote from Ms. Magazine last fall. You can read it at the library.
• Added some photos I've been scrounging around for to the gallery. I'm still looking for the sepia-toned one of Dar with her hands up behind her against a wall. She's got the shoulder-length hair. I got it from somewhere and deleted it now can't remember where. So if anyone has copy of that particular shot, it's one of my faves, please contact me.
