No Femmes show on TV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am truly disappointed in my local NBC affiliate. They did not run the show
with the Femmes. Instead, they opted to show a local golfing show, and
then a repeat of the Tonight Show. So here’s a question and a plea. Did
anyone record the show? If so, can we discuss the possibility of a copy?
I’m thinking of writing a strongly worded letter to this station, letting them
know exactly how I feel.

Brian’s New Ink, New CD and Updated Page
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey guys!
No, it was not a Mikhail Gorbachev-like birthmark that some of you
noticed on Brian’s right arm during the Conan performance. Mr. Ritchie
is indeed sporting some new ink these days. He picked up the tattoo
earlier in the summer while in San Francisco. The image is of a Japanese
wood-block print of a monk in a green robe playing Shakuhachi.

Brian also has something else new recently too. He very quietly released
a limited pressing of his new solo effort “Purple Field – Japanese Bamboo
Flute: Shakuhachi” at a performance in Milwaukee last month. Brian
performed his “Journey into Emptiness” program at a benefit concert
sponsored by the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. The “Journey” consisted
of ancient Shakuhachi pieces from the “Honkyoku” – or original music –
as well as Brian’s own adaptation of John Coltrane’s “Living Space.” The
audience was also treated to a wonderful improvisation at the end of the
performance including Abdulhameed Alwan on tabla and Mike
Kashou on an unusual arabic guitar.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel spotlighted the program:
Brian Ritchie, bass player of The Violent Femmes, will appear in a very
different musical context Friday. Ritchie will play a solo concert on the
shakuhachi, a traditional Japanese flute long associated with Zen.
“I always experimented with lots of instruments,” he said, in a phone
interview. “I just randomly encountered this one at a flute convention six
years ago.” He felt an immediate affinity for the instrument, which fit his
Buddhist religion, and took up serious study of it at the Kyo-Shin-An
Shakuhachi Dojo in New York. “It’s traditional training, with a set
repertoire of 40 ensemble pieces and 40 solo Zen pieces,” he said.
“After I’ve mastered them all, I’ll get a master’s license. It’s very
demanding.”

He will play Zen solos. 7:30 p.m. Friday in a benefit for
the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. The concert will take place at the
Off-Broadway Theatre, 342 N. Water St. Proceeds will support the
fellowship’s meditation program for state prison inmates.

“This is a good way to combine my belief with my life as a musician,”
Ritchie said. Tom Strini MJS 8/19/02

Brian’s Shakuhachi efforts reveal a very different side of the “rock”
musician we are generally familar with. The program was a sellout and
a complete success in Zen terms. It also generated a lot of interest
in Shakuhachi throughout the community – and not just among zen
practitioners. Although it appears he will be busy in the coming months
with VF I think we will see more of this type of effort in the future.

I will be posting some performance photos and additional info about
the CD on my site soon. So keep checking.

I have also just updated the index and added some NEW/ never before
seen photos from the “Vic’s Back” show in St Paul in May.

CDR Tree Info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry for the delay with the tree. It’s my fault. Part of it is my
wife and I having a baby. I have a show from Summerfest 2000 that I’d
like to start with. Unless someone has something else we could use.
With all the excitement over Victor returning.(I should say that the
Guy
version of the band was kinda like Femmes lite. I saw ’em quite a few
time before Victor left and it wasn’t the same.) That said, it would be
great to have a recent show, but I don’t have one. Here are the people
who have expressed interest, if anyone else would like to be part of
the
tree let me know. itskayley
mattbromley49;UevaaUon;
jkitchens; lydon69; mlarson;
lounge_act1079m. I’d almost rather just send whatever I
have to whoever wants it, but that’s not cost effective. I don’t get a
feeling that anyone’s excited about the Summerfest 2000 show. As great
as it is. What do you guys want to see being distributed?
