What's New?
Ya'll know why you're here, so without
further ado...
8/27/00 Hey guys, I saw that Ellis has been posting stuff on
the official discussion board and I decided to make a new section to the web page
dedicated to his postings. The new section is called In His Own
Words. :) I figure the stories will be fun to read and it's just nice to
see what he has to say for himself. *wink*
8/20/00
As promised, the compilation listing has been updated and let me tell you,
it was a doozy. Lots of new stuff there. Karen and Bill have both been hard at work.
They are working on getting archives together for Ellis and I strongly suggest
contacting them if you have something you'd like to share. I know they'll be grateful.
*grin* I also added to the Songs from Nowhere page. Rainy Season
is now up, due in large part to Suni. (thank you, thank you) I also know that Ellis
is working on this one so things are gonna change, I'm sure. I'll be working on getting
the new songs that Ellis co-wrote with Darryl Purpose and of course the brand spanking new
song which those of us who have heard it call Medicine. That's a
guesstimate on our part, but ain't it all anyway...? :) I also hear that Ellis
did a guest turn on the new David Wilcox album that's coming out. Should be mucho frio, or
should I just say kewl?
8/16/00
Well, I've been at it again. I added a couple new articles to the
article page. There is an interview with Leak CD from 1994 and an article about
Ellis from Tulsa World 7/99 that are the most significant additions. I've received an
update from our intrepid compilation tracker Karen, who got a little assistance from our
good buddy Bill. I'll be updating the compilation page probably this weekend. Trust
me when I say I'm working on all kinds of stuff. :)
7/4/00
Yup. I've been slacking again. What can I
say?? But the good news is, I've added a bunch of new article links and I also added
a link for the twec.com chat transcript that Ellis did on 3/14/00. I'm working on
more pictures... The hidden track from Translucent Soul is also up now.
Remember we ain't purfeckt so if you notice an error, I may take well to you
pointing out graciously... But then you never know. *wink* We'll be adding more
projects to the compilations list cause Ellis just won't slow down... I've also added the
article from the Improper Bostonian. See? I have been busy... *grin*
6/9/00
It's only been forever... But I added the lyrics for the hidden
track on Carnival of Voices called Ghosts and I will be adding the hidden track from
Translucent Soul probably next week. We're still working on the early albums to get those
lyrics up. It's all behind the scenes right now. *grin*
3/15/00
Well, you all will be happy to learn that I
have updated the Songs From Nowhere Page with count 'em, 2 songs!
"Words" and "Sweet Mistakes". They're beautiful songs. Fall over
dead, dart to the heart type deals. So check 'em out. *grin* Just don't blame me if
you find yourselves on the floor! I also updated the announcement page. Nothing
major, but there you go... :) I also updated the compilations page with the
beautiful assistance of Karen Z. Ever lovely as usual... :) Ellis' Live
album is out now and is super awesome. Some of the Songs from Nowhere are on the
Live album. Yay! Vance's Live album is out too! Go buy them both! I
insist! Have I asked anything of you lately? I think not. (I'm playing the guilt
card here... Is it working? *wink*)
2/16/00
This is scary. 2 updates in 2 days. What will people say? *grin*
Well, there is a new link to a discussion list for EP and that is on the links page (where
else should it be?) I also added a link to Don Conoscenti's sites cause he's a friend of
EP and I like him. (How's that for arbitrary?) Liza likes him too and we have good taste,
so check him out! :) I'll also say that Liza and I are working on transcribing
the songs from Ellis' two cassettes - Am I Home and Urban Folksongs. We're working on it
and these will also go on the Songs from Nowhere page since the cassettes are currently
unavailable... That's it for now. :)
2/15/00
I shudder to think how long it's been since the page has been updated. Can I
just say real life and we'll leave it at that? Here's cool news for everybody. Ellis will
have a show broadcast over the internet Live from the Bluebird Cafe on 2/24/00. He will also be doing a
live interview at noon on RadioBoston on 3/14/00
(Live album release date.) He will be doing a chat at 8:00pm on Twec.com. Be there! *grin* Also some other
super cool news is that Vance Gilbert is also
releasing a Live album next month which will include a RealVideo of Vance and Ellis
performing Dear Amelia. Vance is a must in my book any day, but in combo... I just
say Wow!
12/2/99 I realize I've been remiss in updating the
site and I actually have pictures from the show EP did here in the 'burgh. I'll get them
developed... eventually. But the coolest thing going right now is the song Ellis did
with Kristian Bush (of Billy Pilgrim fame) and Brandon Bush called Rollaway Bed. It's at
the MP3 site. I have added a link to the song along with a link to the MP3-Billy
Pilgrim site. There is also a link to a fan based web page for Billy Pilgrim. You'll find
these little gems on the Projects Page, so get going!
11/14/99
Thanks to
Karen Z, the compilation page has been updated with 2 more albums where Ellis has made a
guest appearance. Check it out. I don't have the Billy Pilgrim, but I can most
definitely recommend, "Beneath Your Moon" by Don Conoscenti. It's a great album!
11/8/99
Happy Monday!
I have added the lyrics for two more new songs. Please keep in mind that EP is
constantly reworking songs so the lyrics may change... These are taken from the
Schubas show in Chicago on 11/6/99, which was outstanding by the way. *grin*
10/31/99 Happy Halloween! Here's the treat.
(Corny I know. But it's Halloween and isn't it the time of year for corn? The candy kind
of course. *grin*) Moving on before this really degenerates into something horrible...
I added pictures from Appel Farms Festival. I also added a link to an
interview with Vance and Ellis from the show at the Mansion in Middletown, NY. Liza and I
were at the show, and the Mansion is a great place to see people perform. Impressive digs
and great music. What more can you ask for? I also added a link to an article about
a house concert Ellis did in VA. The page also has two short video clips of Ellis.
They are not full length so don't be surprised if they cut off in the middle of a
song. Other than that still working on more lyrics.
10/18/99
Happily I've
added more lyrics to the Songs from Nowhere page and I plan to finish up what I have still
hanging out there in the near future. The songs I added were: Ain't it the Strangest
World, Martyr's Lounge, Mrs. Jones, and Seize the Day. The lyrics may change as
Ellis tweaks stuff, but we know this. It's a start. *grin*
9/29/99
Well. I divided the images page
into three sections. It should download more quickly now for everybody. I also
added some links to other pictures I've found while surfing the net.
9/26/99
Well guys, I've done some boring stuff that you might not care
about, but then again you may. I changed the order of the articles around. The articles
and interviews are now in descending date order. (Most recent stuff at the top. *grin*) I
also added a link to an article from The Augusta Chronicle. (Also in date order. Are you
sensing a pattern here?) I'm working on more lyrics and we'll see what I can
accomplish in the next couple of weeks. More shows to see. Yay!
9/24/99
Added pictures taken
by Bill from the Mucky Duck. I like them. You will too. *grin* Also added a new article
from Packet Publications. Added a link to a review of the Pawling show. Fern outdid
herself on this review. I'm sure you'll agree it's quite lovely. The review link is
listed on the articles page.
9/17/99 With the kind assistance and contribution of Bill, I
have updated the venues page with some additional places to visit. :) I've
also set up an archive page for the announcement emails that Ellis' management sends. To
sign up for the email or mailing list, go here.
Click on essential info and you're good to go. Also added a Philo Q&A for Ellis on
Translucent Soul.
9/15/99
Karen emailed me with
more compilation listings, so what's a girl to do? I'm under some sort of delusion that
people are actually looking at the site every day. I can't bear for people not to have the
information as soon as possible...
9/14/99 So I lied. I'm adding the lyrics to If I Told You and
Everything's Broken. I'll still be working on stuff behind the scenes, but the next update
shouldn't be until this weekend. I have places to go and people to see... *grin*
9/13/99
More changes and I think this will be the last
for a bit. I'm taking a break! :) I put Venues to Visit on its own page. I
have a feeling that may grow into something bigger and I figure I'll make my life a little
easier now, rather than later. Added link to "What's New" on the side of the
page. I'm hoping it makes it easier for you all to find out what's been changed or
updated. Separated the links page into categories and I'm thinking of adding links for the
different folk festivals, but I don't want to get out of hand. So tell me what you think.
:) Done now.
9/12/99
I changed the Glossary page around a bit in order to avoid
scrolling for forever. Just click on the album covers and that'll get you where you
want to go. The "Songs from Nowhere" links are still on the Glossary page. I
also added the WYEP interview. I hope ya'll like it. :) Also added
"Venues to Visit" on the links page. If you know of any other kickin' venues
just send us an email with a description and a URL. 'kay?
9/11/99
Added pictures from the Pawling show to the Images page. Liza
got some really good ones. *grin*
9/10/99 Added the lyrics for "This Old Car" ,
"Paperback Man", and "Ashes to Dust". They're linked from the
compilation page since these are songs from compilation albums. Also updated the
compilation page with more stuff. Ellis is a busy, busy guy. *grin*
9/8/99
Added a new page called Songs from Nowhere. So far the lyrics
for "Did Galileo Pray" and "Maria's Beautiful Mess" are up there. I
hope to be adding the other titles you see on the page. (If Ellis doesn't kill me first
*gulp*)
9/5/99
Updated the Glossary page with links from "Songs from Nowhere" Liza's
responsible for this stuff. She was inspired to finish this particular project by the
Pawling show with Ellis and Vance. Go see! :)
9/1/99
Updated compilation list with 4
additional guest appearances and actually made a guest appearances section. (Hey it was
all Karen's doing, I'm just a willing lackey for putting it on the page... The idea was
hers!)
8/31/99
Added World Cafe 1/14/99 Interview to Articles Page.
8/25/99
Added additional pictures from
Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. My favorite picture from the festival. Don C picked Ellis up
and spun around with Ellis in his arms. You should have been there but since you weren't,
go see the pictures. *grin*
8/13/99 Added pictures from Falcon Ridge '99. Liza and
I had a wonderful time so here we are sharing part of the experience with you all.
Lofty goals and ambitions
Hopefully, lyrics from additional
songs that are not on any albums yet.
Let's just say at the gracious
assistance of Karen Z the compilation list is always in the works. (I'd say Ellis needs to
take a vacation, but that would be wrong of me...) LOL.
I'll be adding additional articles as
I find them and also typing up some stuff from the press packet I have. If you all have
any articles that you know of, please let me know or email them to me at ragamfn1@hotmail.com.
Lyrics from Am I Home and Urban
Folksongs.
