Is there any chance that I could get another one? I currently live out of the area (Virginia, to be specific), but I have family in town who I could persuade to go and buy it where ever they may be. Please let me know if there are any still available. Thanks a lot!!

(The Gathering: A local summer outdoor concert series.) It was great and I was more hooked than ever after the show, and have been ever since. I just hope the band will be touring within a few hundred miles from me. I'd drive 5-8 hours, no sweat to see another show.

My girlfriend and I flew to Pittsburgh to spend New Year's at Club Cafe. It was probably the most memorable New Year of my life. I tried to get Brooke to sing Lullaby with Bill during the show, but she declined. After the show, Bill said to me "you could have sang Lullaby with me" I said "Ha, maybe next time" Everyonbe else, if you're yearning for a great live show and can't get to Pittsburgh, check out John Mayer when he comes around, or Pete Yorn.

Message: I'm probably not typical of most Gathering Field's fans. I'm 43 years old & listen to music from the 60s to the present. I first heard of the Gathering Field on local 'DVE playing "Lost In America". Pretty good! Then, "I Believe in God For You". So, I started checking a little deeper, downloading all their songs from Napster, and Man! one song after another-so good. I bought your first 3 CDs and am ready to buy "So Close To Home". I haven't heard such heart-felt lyrics like this, probably since the 70s. I'm teribly disappointed in the local radio stations for not giving you the air exposure that you deserve, but then again, these stations never were any good. They don't have a clue of the gold in their own back yard. I wish you all the very best in reaching your dreams. I wish you all the success

Message: No need for all of the bickering gang. The boys just need a little time to stretch their wings. The Field is and always will be the best band ever. They play music from the heart. Everyone other band is in the "fake it til ya make it" mode. With national CD sales in the toilet, record execs are looking for the one hit wonders. It is a shame that nobody listens to whole CD's anymore or people would find Billy and the boys on a national label once again.

Message: Some of the stuff in the guest book is crazy. The run that this dynamite band has enjoyed has not been surpassed by many. It’s rare for bands to stay together more than, say, eight years like GF. Although the pace of GF has slowed recently, they still provide top quality shows, and hey, they’re still together, technically – that’s a good thing! Besides, if I remember correctly, there was a new CD in 2001, which included my all-time favorite GF song, “Who We Are”. The posting about the “captain abandoning ship” from the anonymous guy is simply ridiculous. Bill Deasy is one incredibly talented guy, who is destined for great things. I think the other guys in the band may achieve great things in the future, too, just maybe not together. That’s not a bad thing. If Dave or Bill or Eric or Joe can make it on their own, more power to them. It seems like the reality of the music business – haven’t you seen Behind the Music? For the die-hards, remember the great shows: the original CD-release party at the Decade in 1994?; the 4th of July show at Three Rivers Stadium (esp. Divine Intervention); the Clipper Thanksgiving 2001, etc. Any other favorite shows?

Message: I must confess I somehow enjoy the discussion that´s going on on this board. For far too long it has been a place without any real communication. There were the newsletters, sure, but what am I (living in Germany) supposed to do with some tourdates here and there. I sadly go with the anonymous poster by saying that there is a lack of "band-feeling" as far as GF is concerned. There wasn´t any public explanation why Ray left the band, only his picture got replaced by another one (though Eric explained it to me upon individual request, thanks). And the info at Bill´s homepage sounds like GF has already ceased to exist. Don´t get me wrong. I both love Bill´s solostuff and GF. I´ve been listening to them for six years now, having all their records (which took me a looong time). Lost in America and Reliance really offered (and still offer) a guidance through life when various doubts seemed to consume me. I will probably never see them live. That´s why I want to know what´s really going on. Can they still be called a band? I think they owe it to the fans. Or just by quoting one of their own songs: "Can you provide me with a little bit of information?"

Message: linda - i don't think he intended to "leverage" the tragedy in writing the song.....however i do think that after seeing the initial reaction to it, he is using it to "leverage" himself. it is a very powerful song, and i, too, was at the soldiers and sailors show, as well as club cafe on sept. 12th when it was first played.....i remember my initial reaction. i was moved. now i just hear it and think, isn't it time to move on, or boy, this is losing the intended power. i fully support bill's choice to record the song and give the profits to the food bank, i own a copy, but i just think that it is not necessary to play it everytime they play live.

Message: I will never forget hearing “I Will Not” at the benefit concert at Soldiers & Sailors Hall in late September or the spontaneous standing ovation that followed it. “Vengeance and justice are two different things/One tastes like poison, one feels like rain”--at a time when vengeance, especially if it could be nuclear, was the reaction du jour, it was a blessing to me to hear these words. If Bill Deasy had wanted to leverage this tragedy—and Anonymous, that suggestion is so grossly offensive and unfounded—he would have written a song that dripped red, white and blue, not one that expressed the unpopular sentiment of being rational in a time of madness.

Message: Funny that the posters with disparaging remarks are those with bogus e-mail addresses. Me thinks that Anon and "anonymous" are probably the same posters. I also totally disagree (and am actually kind of offended) by those remarks about "I Will Not". The song really moved me and expressed my own sentiments. I found it comforting to hear the song in the aftermath of 9/11 and as stated before, the song isn't on an album and was just released to give some profits to the food bank, not for any type of commerce. To say that someone shouldn't write about their feelings is censorship. And I am sure many others were glad to have those sentiments expressed so aptly. That's supposed to be what music is about. Your anger seems to be completely mis-directed and for some other reason than the weak accusations you chose to post. If the band is in fact breaking up, maybe you should be sad instead of angry. (Or rude).

If you're going to post such scathing comments at least have the guts to identify yourself. As for "I Will Not" it came about the same way the majority of ALL songs come about, through the heartfelt emotions of the writer. That's what songwriters do - they write about things that touch them deeply. It's just that plain and simple.

Message: Mr./Ms. "Anonymous"...the only thing here in bad taste is your post. I enjoy seeing the band when I can and also the solo gigs. The last new material was the great "So Close To Home" album. If you're referring to "I Will Not", it wasn't on the album and I gladly bought a copy of the single since (besides loving the song) the profits all went to charity, not in someone's pocket. I don't think that expressing a point of view is wrong and again, the profits went to a local food bank here in Pittsburgh. The only thing proven by your post is that you're an insensitive idiot.

Message: Gathering Field are like Titanic. Only the captain has abandoned ship, found a new vessel, and is preparing to set sail. The rest of the crew have been left to drown. The only shows left are this surreal cruise on a party liner, as if to prove that the band can still float. Maybe it would make sense to admit the band has broken up, and call the show for what it is - a reunion gig. The last thing that passed for new material, though it bears a laudable anti-hate message, can also be seen as an attempt to boost a sagging career by leveraging a disastrous tragedy, which I find in poor taste.

Message: I love these guys and have been going to see them for 4 years. Every time they've been the only band at Nick's (or any other venue)they usually play two 75 minute sets and take a half hour break. When they play one 90 minute set they don't take a break. I don't understand why that's such a big deal. They play their hearts out under the hot lights and need to stop and cool off a little. I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with that.

The first high note for me was no opening act :), the second was Dave Brown's solo (while grinning from ear to ear)at the end of 'I Wanna Be With You'. That pretty much put the show over the top for me for the rest of the night. No matter if performing a new song or an old one, the whole band played their hearts out and a great time was had by all. I have to agree with Gar that music can be a semi-religious experience. It was Friday night. Thanks again and see you soon!

I guess it's been suggested that the latest recording is a "thank-you-and-farewell", and although I'm sort of in denial about the "farewell" part (who could blame me), I think it's safe to say that it is we the fans who will remain grateful for the uplifting and transcendent music you make.

Message: My little story: I went to see the Gathering Field play at Laurel Mountain about a month ago. Mother Nature was waiting to unleash a wicked storm of rain and lighting on us any second. The most we saw was a very light rain and some impressive lightning. I had come to see the Gathering Field, so I was worried the show would get rained out before they played. To my pleasure, they took stage and started to play. My friend and I have been fans for a few years, and we were pleased to hear a lot of our favorite songs from the Blue Album. The show was good, as it had been when I saw GF 5 years prior. I noticed he mentioned Van Morrison and being in love. Neither then nor now was I in love. Next time, maybe. ;) At any rate, the highlight of the GF segment came toward the very end, during Lost in America. Everyone had begun to get up and walk in toward the stage. I think everyone did so because it was the GF's hit and the end of the show, however, some might have been trying to get better position for the Clarks. At any rate, I was there to get closer to the band. I got up to within 20 ft of the stage and just started belting out the words to Lost in America. I even threw in a few of my own harmonies. Mr. Deezy seemed to have a huge grin on his face from the crowd that had gathered. We truly formed a gatherin field. That last song was wonderful. I could really feel some energy there. Great job, guys. I hope you come around Ligonier again soon some time.

Along with Root, he mailed me Lost in America, and I was instantly hooked, right from the first notes. Without a doubt, GF is one of a very short list of artists that I constantly look forward to hearing something new from. Keep up all the amazing songwriting!

Saw you a couple of times in Pittsburgh (before you were part of the Gathering Field - maybe around '91-'92?) but then I moved back to Ohio and kinda lost track. Glad to see you are still writing and that you apparently have a devoted following! Now my husband is hooked, too.

Anyway, All the times I've seen GF I've never heard "Information" live. Dave does an excelent guitar solo in that song. I'll most likely be at the show 6/3 at 3b's. I was wondering if you guys might ba able to play that on for me. Also every time I see one of your shows I seem to bring someone new who has never seen GF before and they are instantly fans after the show. You gusy must be doin something right. Keep it up.

Message: Attention GF fans...you missed a FANTASTIC show Saturday at Pirate's Cove. Shame, shame. The room sounded great, and the band was absolutely on fire. It was one of the best shows I've seen in my years of loyal fanaticism. They played some crazy old stuff like "Rough Road", "People Change", "One way or the Other", "Glorybound"(!) and my new favorite song, "Blue Sky Song" with Gar Misra (kick ass, Gar!). Note to everybody: DO NOT miss the June 2 Rosebud show with Bill & 'Spring Lies Waiting' ensemble. If you missed any of the shows @ Club Cafe or haven't seen this show before, you are truly missing something special. I'll see all of you folks at Nick's this Saturday. -Gary 'I want to hear Magazine Waitress' Grasela
