What a surprise, and a lovely one at that!!!! It was me (Rebecca) who wondered about the lyrics and that is mostly because I write them all for "Ellis Reed" and they are very personal, so it's a really subjective question. Joni Mitchell once said that writing was "hanging my clothes on the line." For me it's the same, but they are pretty dirty clothes still......Feel free to write to us at: ellisreed@msn.com and you can see our site at: www.ellisreed.com. My sister-in-law just moved to Australia for good...... let us know if you have a site for you music as wel all my best, Rebecca (and Steve!!!) Hi Brendan!!!!

I'm so glad you put another podcast up today! I'm downloading it now so I cannot comment on it, but I wanted to communicate with you and couldn't find a way until now. In 2000 I visited the US for 4-and-a-half months and was pretty much on the move most of the time. At one stage I spent a couple of weeks with friends in Cherry Hill NJ and spent a fair bit of time in Philly wandering around and exploring. My favourite place was the Museum of Art and was fascinated by all the historical stuff. I touched 29 states (I think) during my visit, and Philly was one of my favourite places of all. No lie. Anyway, music is really important to me, and I am a big fan of the folk/country/troubadour style of storytelling songs, and having just gotten an ipod and getting into podcasts, when I saw yours I had to try it! And I am in no way disappointed. Hahaha I wish I could have known about you guys back in 2000 so I could've seen and heard some excellent live acts... So, provided my computer keeps working, you have an ongoing listener from Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. Keep up the good work, and please play some more of your own stuff too! Brendan p.s. Having listened to all 6 of the previous episodes in one day at work, I cannot remember which one it was, but you mentioned about whether people care about lyrics...good music is good music regardless, but I am interested in it meaning something, not just so it can be good in the background. As one who writes a little, the lyrics are ALWAYS important to me. And especially coming from an "acoustic" perception, I was surprised that you would even think that Steve! Shame on you...hahaha. G’day guys!
