Love, Melanie
'Til They All Get Home
Everybody is heading homeward
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
I knew when we woke up you would be leaving
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
Home is where the heart is and home is a castle
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
Make a commotion, make a little difference

"Melanie will have finished the re-recordings of about
40 of her songs on 22 January 1999."
"Melanie would like to appear at any 500 to 1000 capacity
intimate theaters (Community Cultural Centers) or Festivals including Open
Air throughout the US as part of her celebrations for the 30th anniversary
of Woodstock, during March, April and May 1999."
"The itinerary involves Melanie traveling North from Florida
Mid March to reach New York by April. Stopovers en-route should be for
about 8 days at each town Melanie appears in. Mid West and West Coast appearances
are possible providing there are enough shows for about 8 days."
"Please ask your Community Cultural Center(s) if/when
they could make a booking.
"I have a list of some venues throughout the US with phone
numbers should you require it.

Till They All Get Home. I've spent a good part of my life on the
road. It always seems the rest of the world has somewhere to go,
while you have to invent a somewhere to go. I'm addressing
humanity and people who's life has taken them from home ~ maybe
even forever. I have a good handle on being far away. I feel for
the soldiers, the refugees, and all who are trying to get home.
Home is where the heart is, home is a castle with reasons for
leaving and reasons take time.
(Melanie Safka)
© 2002 - Two Story Publishing (ASCAP)
Or leaving for distance and places unknown
They're tying up their laces or fluffing up their pillows
Say a prayer 'til they all get home
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
You knew when you left me it might be too long
That kiss on your shoulder, is me looking over
Close to your heart, so you're never alone
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
With reasons for leaving and reasons take time
But we're in this together, so never forget it
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
Say a little prayer 'til they all get home
Shake up the rafters and rock the boat
We're all in this together, so never forget it
Lets say a prayer 'til they all get home
February 3 is Melanie's birthday!
Read about Melanie in The
Charlotte Observer.
Melanie will be on Atlanta TV on October 2. Tune in to "Good Day Atlanta"
on "Fox 5" WAGA from 7 to 9 am on that day to see her. WAGA has confirmed that Melanie
will be on in the 8 to 9 am segment of the show (but tape the whole thing just in case).
Melanie will release a new album Crazy Love on September
24th. This is the final version of the pre-release "Victim of the Moon" that she has
been selling at concerts and by mail. "Victim" is almost sold out, but there may still
be copies available from David Boldinger (see below).
The following is from David Boldinger of the Melanie Music Society:
Introducing the new pre-release CD from Melanie, Victim of the Moon
containing the following tracks: And We Fall 4:00 / You Call Yourself A
Writer 3:52 / Jammin' Alone 4:03 / The Punishment Fits The Crime 4:09 /
Center of The Circle 3:06 / Smile 4:46 / 'Til They All Get Home 4:00 / Right
About Now 3:27 / It Hurts When Love is Deep 4:01 / Leftover Emotion 4:19 /
You Can Find Anything Here 3:37 / Brand New Key 2:25 / Working Legend 3:17
/ I Never Had A Clue 4:44 / You Don't Know Me 5:22 plus a 24 page booklet.
Total playing time 59:16.
Produced by Peter Schekeryk, Melanie and Beau-Jarred Schekeryk. Recorded in
LA & Nashville, TN, 2002.
All Music and Lyrics written by Melanie Safka, except I Never Had A Clue by
Melanie Safka and Ken Lavoie. Published by Two Story Publishing (ASCAP)
Two years ago, there were a number of e-mails from frustrated Melanie fans
who were polled for their choice of songs, heard at Melanie's concerts, but
never released, a good few made their way to this new CD recorded during the
first quarter of 2002. This wonderful CD contains a perfect choice of
Melanie songs, brilliantly performed and beautifully recorded, that goes a
long way in patching the holes in Melanie's released repertoire, and also
includes recent compositions. The excellent musical arrangements are very
complimentary to Melanie's bright and clear vocals throughout the CD, it's
impossible to pick a favourite from the fifteen songs - each done, in all
respects, superbly. Victim of the Moon is unmistakably Melanie! You like
good music - you will love this CD.
Throughout all of Melanie's albums, "Victim of the Moon" sounds the most
'commercial', with at least five possible singles that could be pulled from
this one CD! This pre-release CD is a must-have, the very least it will do,
is put a big SMILE on your face!

song gets the best review of all!
A group called The 6ths (Try to say that real fast a few times) has released a new

(Melanie's husband). Keep watching the site, to see what developes.
Here are some photos
of Melanie in her Provincetown concert. These are from a fan named Michael.
Read about Melanie in the Provincetown
Banner.
Melanie was also mentioned in columnist Gail
Worley's column in the online magazine "Pandomag.com", August 2000 issue. Interesting reading.
Melanie appeared at the Libertarian Party Convention on Saturday, July 1, and spoke a little,
signed up for the party, and sang "Freedom Knows My Name". To see the C-Span coverage
of it, go to C-Span, and
look for "5pm ET" on on the right side, and click on Watch below that. When the Real Player
comes up, click on Play, then Seek to Position, and enter 0 hr, 34 min, 0 sec. (You must have
Real Player installed on your computer.)

I found another good source for Melanie CD's. It's Rockhouse
Music Mail Express (Netherlands).
Melanie's appearance at the Tin Angel on 17 December
has been cancelled, and a date in January is being arranged. See Melanie's
Appearances for more information.
Here's an online
CD store that has "Old Bitch Warrior", "Silver Anniversary", and "Am

Covering Melanie
By now, many of you probably know that country singer
Deana Carter has covered Melanie's "Brand New Key" on new new CD, "Everything's
Gonna Be Alright". This led me to do a little research on who else has
covered Melanie recently. Here are some other CD's on which "Brand New
Key" is covered.
Jazz artist Urbie Green, on the CD "Bein' Green"
Rock group Rasputina, on the CD "Thanks for the Ether"
The Disney CD, "Disney Travel Songs" (various artists)
And Australian singer Max Sharam (that's a she, folks)
has covered "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" as a single. It could be on
an album by now (I don't have recent news on that).
See Melanie's Appearances for
updated appearance info. Melanie's restaurant is still closed, but word
is that it will open on November 1.
Mark Sumner has started a Melanie Email Discussion List
(for discussing Melanie with other fans). To join, go here.
Melanie's beautiful LP album, "Photograph", is being

Boldinger of the Melanie
Music Society, and ask him to reserve one for you. He will let you
know later when and how much money to send.
I have up-to-date information on the Amnesty International

23-Aug-1998 (Sunday) at the Corn Festival
in Beacon Riverfront, NY, with Pete Seeger, probably at 3 pm. This event

This news comes from David Boldinger, Melanie

a complete concert schedule, go here.
The concert will be webcast on broadcast.com.

The date for Melanie's Tin
Angel performance was incorrect on their web site. The performance
will be at 7:30 pm on Thursday, the 20th of August. I still don't know
what time or if the Erie, PA appearance will be on the 16th of August.
I've found a place that has the Buddah Classics CD release
of "Candles In The Rain" (including the song "Alexandar Beetle"). It's
Music
For A Song, and they have excellent prices, too. This CD also has two
bonus tracks from "Sunset and Other Beginnings", including Melanie's beautiful
rendition of "Almost Like Being In Love".
I've heard that Melanie's restaurant will be closed until
October. The phone number there is 813-943-5009
Word is that Melanie will perform in a folk festival
in Erie, PA on August 16th. It would have to be a morning performance in
order for her to make the Tin Angel appearance in Philadelphia. I have
no details on this, but will put them here if I get something.
Go here
to see a really nice article about Melanie's restaurant in Tarpon Springs,
FL., with a cool picture!
Melanie will perform at Tin
Angel in Philadelphia on August 16th at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $18.00
plus a 1.50 handling fee (why don't they just say $19.50?). For tickets
by phone, call 215-928-0978 between noon and 10 pm Eastern time.
Melanie will perform at this year's Woodstock reunion
on Saturday, August 15th. There will be more details as I get them. There
should also be details here
later (but not as of this writing).
I have found three more sources for Melanie CD's. They
are Cheap or What CD's (UK), Music
Express (Germany), and Cyber
CD (Germany). These have also been added to the Melanie's Music section.
There is a new Melanie page on the web. Go here
to see Mark Russell Wymer's Melanie page.
I have changed my site to make it more user friendly
for vision impaired people, by adding text links on the main page along
with the button links.
I have added an article on how to care for and preserve
phonograph records. Link to it here or in Melanie's
Music.
I have added pictures from these albums: "Stoneground
Words", "As I See It Now", "Photograph", and "Am I Real or What", and from
the 1997 Turning Point concert.
I have purchased additional memory for my site, and in
the next few days I will be uploading more pictures -- concert pictures
and more album pictures, including the "Stonground Words" pictures.
My guestbook filled up (250 entry limit), so I started
a new one. You can still read the old one (see the links on the bottom
of the main page).
Well, thanks to this and most of the other Melanie sites
providing a link to Vinyl Vendors, they are just about wiped out of Melanie
albums (they still have some singles). So I'm going to reveal another of
my sources: California Albums.
They have an excellent selection of Melanie record albums, and the ones
I have bought have always been of the highest quality. Here's the
fine print. California Albums is an auction store. The minimum bid is $15.
But I have always bid the minimum, and have always got what I wanted. However,
that could change if everybody tries to get the same Melanie albums. Melanie
is in the category "Female Artists" (also listed as "Female Rock Singers"),
not in "Folk Females" as some might think. I think they're right, however
-- she has a "rock and roll heart".
Melanie, along with local bands Dr. hook, Average White
Band, and others will be performing at the 12th annual Taste of Pinellas
outdoor festival to benefit All Childrens Hospital in St Petersburg, FL.
Melanie's daughters' group, Safka, (as rumored by Leila) will do an opening
set. All this should be happening around 7:00 pm on Friday May 29th, followed
by a fireworks display at 9:00 pm. Admission is free. For details call
