Subject :I apologize

Amsterdam, February 25, 2004.

Dear all,

I have to apologize to you all because there has not been an update for quite a
while by now caused by personal reasons that has nothing to do with the list, but
all with private matters that gave me the ‘goose bumps’.

Nevertheless, now everything is fine and I feel good, even better than ever!

I also found some interesting articles on the internet with interviews from Heather.
You can click on this URL to hear the interview dat Heather did on an Irish radio
station during her South tour.

The URL is : rtsp://212.147.142.41/entertainmentireland/heathernova2.rm

Heather also had an interview at the AOL studios to promote her South album in the states.
She had also an acoustic live performance in the studio. Click with your mouse on the
following URL:

rtsp://demand1.stream.aol.com:554/aol/us/aolmusic/artists/v2/heathernova/heathernova_intv.rm

You need Real Audio player to hear the interviews, you can download your free basic version via Real media at http://www.real.com/?lang=en&loc=us

I have also some great news according the CD-project that I started:
I have placed a free ad on a Dutch musician site to interest them for
the HN-project and I have found a singer. She came over to my place in Amsterdam
last Monday and she is going to sing one of Heather’s song from the Storm album and one
song that I wrote.

I have also a recording session with an American guitarist - his name is Alex - and did a song that I wrote on which he sings the lyrics. As you know: I am a terrible singer for my self.

I am still searching for more fans to do a gig for the album. I will put a shareware version
of CoolEdit on the HN Online Magazine that you can use for twenty-one days that enables
you to do multi track recordings and create MP3 files that you can send over for the project.

I will also publish the instrumental version of “How do I do this’, written by Lucky (if he agrees of course) and you can ask for the lyrics directly to me so that you can try to do a ‘voice over’ on the song (to sing the lyrics).

More news about Heather :

As you all know by now, Heather gave birth to a son on January 26, 2004. On the official HN site they wrote:

Breaking News: Heather's baby born
Posted February 2nd, 2004
Heather's baby boy was born on Monday January 26th in King Edward's Hospital in Bermuda. Both the mother and the baby are fine. The baby's weight is 8 lbs and 12 oz (about 4 Kg). Congratulations, Heather!

Does anyone know the name of Heather’s child?

Well that is it for now,

I hope that you accept mine apologizes regarding the list and I promise to do
better in the future.

Take care, enjoy the HN interviews and keep in touch,

Cynthia Fridsma

Press Kit from 1995, but some articles out of magazines and stuff
from a couple of CD's. neat.

and the second thing is, the t-shirts have dropped in price by 5 Euros.

Hi all!

A bit OT, but since I do not have any Heather news,
and I think many of you will appeciate this
I have to tell you about an amazing young
soul/RnB-singer called Joss Stone!

If you got Flash, you can listen to samples
from her album here:

I like it A LOT!!

Br,
Erik

As well as this mailing list run by Cynthia, there is *daily* activity on
Novaforums (www.novaforums.com), although I appreciate a lot of people
prefer the "mailing list" format to a "forum....

It's been commented on Nova, by those who even post regularly, that there's
"not much new" happening in the Heather Nova world; I'd disagree with this,
for one obvious and private reason...;-)

As well as what happens on Nova, there *could* be discussions on things we
enjoy, example, the lyrics on the albums for one....

Read previous comments above.... For anything to succeed, effort must be put
in.

Putting "two-and-two" together isn't very hard, Colin, when you listen to
the "Crossing Border" spoken poetry show (Heather reading from her book,
"the sorrowjoy"), listen and read the various interviews that Heather has
done, and if you were lucky enough to see some of the gigs on the Storm
tour, it was pretty clear who the song is about... one of the most brilliant
emotive melodious songs this Darren has ever heard...

>MEANWHILE, here in the land of snow, Storm keeps getting

>I still maintain it's too restrained for its own good.

It perhaps depends then, on your definition of "perfect"? A lot of people
spend their lives looking for / seeking out perfection, without always a
clear idea of what that actually means. Like searching for a God, or the
"perfect partner"...

The current usage of perfect seems to have the feel of: "to make absolutely
without flaw", perhaps if you viewed perfection more in the sense of : "to
bring up to full potential" without the burden of being "flawless", it might
help...

Also, if you're suggesting Storm *gets better* with "repeated" listenings,
perhaps "perfection" is waiting for you to reach it

>really music if has anything other than guitars, bass and drums.
>Harmonicas are good, and I'll put up with "keyboards".

But then you wouldn't be able to wax lyrical about something you care
about...

well... it would be nice to get the messages within a certain time
frame (lets say within two, max 3 days) after someone posts, that
way, when replied (if that is what you intend) to a topic, that topic
wouldn't be all dried out and / or mummified.

actually, IMHO it would be better to get it like the old HN.org list
(when it was working properly) - once a day, right after midnight,
all the posts that had accumulated for the day.

and so, Cynthia is STILL getting married? After all this time? Good
lord. A prince Gerard may be, but a slow one huh? OK, my advice: you
all should pick a holiday to get married on. That way, two years from
now, Gerard won't forget it (;-)... 'cause you know how fickle and
forgetful men are.... Seeing how Gerard is an accountant (or
controller?), i would think you all would chose 29 Feb, so he can
save money and only give anniversary presents once every four years
(just a joke Cynthia....don't throw things at me!!!!!)

April 1 would be cool, too. Har, har!

FYI - we married ( by accident, not by design ) on the 6 of June (D-
Day), and if you want, you can have fun with that, too. I do, anyway.
Wife is German and i am American so every year we get to re-celebrate
the invasion ( or infection ) of "Fortress" Europe....

later....
Perry
