E-MAIL LETTER SENT TO NYC FAM:
This September 11th at 7:30, we'll be together with you at The Cutting Room in NYC. http://www.lizziewestlife.com/cutting.jpg

We'll gently remind ourselves who we are and what it means to be human on earth today, in the early Fall of 2006. We'll remember what happened, sing the sorrow from our bones. We'll create our reality in the midst of a seemingly unchanged world, knowing all the while, that though we may seem the same, every one of us is completely changed in the very core of our being. Though our waking may be slow and distracted, it is a waking nonetheless. Something HAS begun and it is good. My home town was born and raised under the towering stages of hustle and bustle, a shocking destruction stunned my soul and set me free. I believe, I believe, I believe. The morning after September 11th, 2001, I sat down to to let music do its work on me. As I recorded "A Time To Cry", by myself in the garden, the song kneaded my pain into healing. We'll sing that song on Monday night, along with 19 Miles To Baghdad, Prayer, Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Woman, Waiting For A Sign and Look What They Done To MY World, MA...If you have any other song requests, please let me know before Sept 7th. I'll do my best to fit it in. The morning after this coming Sept 11th, myself and our family at Holy Road Tours will leave again for the Prairie. We won't be back with you until December. Here's a live download of "Waiting For A Sign",

Please join us on Sept 11th, 2006, to listen, to sing, to be kneaded, to reach for light and to send us off with love... as we head to our Midwestern October Artist In Residency. If you don't create your reality, your reality will create you. It's easy to read about our travels on the holy road, http://travelingtheholyroad.blogspot.com/

Here's a photo of us with our long time friend and newly added band member,
Gregg Osofsky (you'll meet him at the show) taken the other day at WKZE the Inspiring local independent radio station of our "Pine Plain's Artist in Residency Home"

Howling to you from the holy road always, Lizzie West X=h/m
