Sara Hickman's Super Pal Universe Speaks!

Sara's Songwriting Workshop, 2006

I recently took a songwriting workshop with Sara and was delighted to discover it was much more than providing feedback on our songs. She created several fun exercises to get our creative juices flowing and to dispel the notion that writers must wait for the muse to visit. We learned we can find inspiration just about anywhere (even on the shelves of the public library). And how to overcome writer's block. She also gave us several practical ways to throw song ideas out into the universe and see what comes back -- how to live in a continual state of creative expression.

I was impressed with Sara's communication skill and her ability to gently push us beyond our comfort zones to new levels of honesty and creativity. She uses her intuitive power to focus on what each person is about, and to find what could be helpful to them. She is always positive, loving and encouraging. I felt inspired and energized after the workshop.

I wanted to thank you so much for the workshop you had for the Austin Songwriters Group members last Saturday. I learned some great techniques from you and thought you'd like to know that I sincerely appreciate your giving back to us "young" writers. Its evident that you do what you love and you gave me some great energy. I'm not as good at pushing myself into that creative place as I'd like to be; I often just wait for things to come to me - and thankfully they come often enough to keep me busy writing. It is good to know, however, that I can push myself if I need to be there and still come up with something worthwhile to work on.

I sincerely hope that our paths cross again,
Robert Parish

p.s. The sepia picture in the silver picture frame which you gave me for the 5-minute song challenge was a "freebie" to me - and I think I'll finish it soon. Writing about 'that kind of thang' is what I do - so I'm glad to know that your senses were in tune with my state of mind. Thanks again.

I just want to thank you so much again for the workshop this morning. That could be one of the best workshops I've ever attended because it challenged the songwriter within us. Many times workshops are more informational than thought provoking. This was a completely new experience for me. Your workshops have been enlightening and thought challenging. This is exactly what I've needed at this point in my life.

Dear Sara,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for one of the biggest healings I have had.

It started Tuesday night when you sang the "special song" that you wrote for your daughter. My inner child really heard the words to your song and I could feel the walls tumbling down.

I listened to Newborn all day yesterday. I felt a deep sense of peace hearing your words to your daughters and to children. I also felt a sense of sadness because I am 45 years old and have never known how my mother feels about me or I should say that she never verbally told me. I was afraid to be vulnerable and ask. It is so beautiful knowing that your children will grow up knowing exactly how you feel about them. Words can be so powerful.

Your songs in Newborn have touched a deep part of my soul. I originally listened to them as if I was saying your words to myself (my little one), I then realized that these are words that I wished I could hear from my mother. Last night I sobbed and sobbed as I listened to the CD again.

I called my mother today and we had our first heart to heart. My heart was so wide open and full of love. I cried with her and she comforted me, I asked her questions and she answered them, she shared how it was for her growing up and talked about what she learned from her mother and not showing affection was one of them. She told me how proud of me she is, how happy she was when I was born. That she and my dad kept trying until they got a girl.

This is such a beginning for me and my mom and I am so Grateful that your generous heart touched mine.

Many Blessings,
L. V.

McGonigal's Mucky Duck
Houston, TX • Sat. Dec 4, 1999
12/10/99—Review By Jim Gilbert

I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Houston for the Saturday, Dec. 4 shows at the Mucky Duck in Houston.

Have you ever met an angel?  I have listened to Sara's music for a number of years, and had not been able to see her perform live very often since she doesn't get up to St. Louis much.  Last Saturday, Dec. 4, at the Mucky Duck in Houston, I was able to not only see her perform 2 shows, but was also able to meet her and find out how joyous she really is!  She was rather surprised that a friend and I travelled from St. Louis to Houston just to see her perform, and gave me a big hug.  Wow!  She also said that she's coming to St. Louis in the spring when she tours to support her new album, "Spiritual Appliances."  It just keeps getting better and better!

The Mucky Duck is a small, intimate pub in Houston—and fortunately for this out-of-towner, easy to find.  It holds maybe 100 people, and we were seated 2 tables back from the center of the stage.  It was really amazing to just sit back and listen to Sara's wonderful voice.  For most of the show, Sara sat on stage armed with nothing but her collection of acoustic guitars and that beautiful voice—and proceeded to blow all of us away. (You can see the second show's set list below).  She talked about most of the songs she played, giving great little stories.  For instance, before she played "Too Fast" in the first set, she told us about this letter she got from this guy in New Jersey who, yes, "works in the popsicle plant," but he said he was sorry to say he worked in the blue section, not the green one!  He said that they played this song at the popsicle plant, dancing around at work.  How funny! 

    Another great thing about the show was that her husband Lance played electric guitar and sang on a few songs from the new album "Spiritual Appliances," which I think she said would be released on Valentine's Day 2000.  He even used an interesting device called an "e-bow" that gave a neat sound, like playing the guitar with a violin bow.  Having Lance perform with her was great—it's wonderful to see her so happy!

    Sara played songs from Newborn (and during the first show, serenaded a cute little 1 1/4 year old in the audience named Graham), her new album, and some from previous albums.  She had her own backup chorus in the audience—one of the tables was belting it out with her during "I Wear the Crown"—and she dubbed them, "the Hick-lettes."  You know, even though Newborn is supposed to be an album to serenade the little ones, I have to say that these songs ("Lily," "We Are Each Other's Angels") touched pretty much all of the grown-ups in the audience as well.

    The songs from the new album sound excellent, and as always, her lyrics reward the attentive listener—they have a wonderful imagery to them.  For example: one of these is called "Last Man In the Water" and it's about the plane crash in Washington DC that happened 10 or 15 years ago when the Potomac River was frozen and the plane crashed into it.  It's about the man who, while in the river, kept giving the rescue rope to other people, passing over his chance to be rescued so other people would have a chance.  Another one, which she really was passionate about, was about the darker side of fame—what happens to people when they start to believe their own publicity, and get surrounded by the trappings of "making it."  I am not 100% sure about the title, but it was something like "Ghost in the Gate."

    Towards the end of the show, she led the audience in a sing-along of the John Lennon "And so this is Christmas" song.  Very lovely.

    So now, after listening to her for several years and never getting to see her play live, I've seen her twice in a year—Chicago in February with Tish Hinojosa, and now at the Mucky Duck.  Would I go back?  In a heartbeat!  To paraphrase "This Heart" - these ears, these ears were made, to hear her sing....

Joy
she told a wonderful story about how this was about this homeless lady she met when Sara lived in Dallas.  People, if you can, you've got to buy this video...I did at the show.  It's very good, and the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity.

Too Fast
the story about the man from the popsicle plant in New Jersey was hilarious!  I can just see these guys at the factory dancing around to it!

probably some others I can't remember because I was so enthralled....

Really Late Review

The Mucky Duck in Houston, 12/04/99, late show. I personally tossed $60.00
to the winds because we had 4 no-shows. But Sherry and I had a great time,
no matter what.

It's Alright

Goops In It

Lily, I Love You

Look At It This Way

Crown- Someone in the audience was yelling at Sara this entire song, which lasted at LEAST 15 minutes, I think Sara was trying to outlast the heckler, she went into what can only be described as a "rap," trashed every politician you could name, and at the end of the song, urged everyone to vote for Chelsea Clinton. She may be right.

New Song-That I did not recognize, lyrics "kept alive," "heart waiting to fall" I REALLY liked this one.

Last Man In The Water- w/Lance on a full-body blonde Guild cutaway archtop, through a Crate (Yecccch!) amp. Although it sounded pretty good, but one of my many failings is that I'm a guitar amplifier snob. Another song that I hope will be on the new album. An I HAVE to get that child an amplifier!

I Can't Be The One-w/Lance on E-Bow guitar, he added a neat solo.

Where Did You Go-the lady in the red dress added a KILLER "mouth trombone" solo. You had to be there.

Costa Rica

Merry Christmas (War Is Over) Beyond beautiful. Her version stopped time in its tracks.

A Slice Of Heaven-Sara said this was a first, it was "da' bomb"

Simply-for an encore, Sara shouted out "What do you want to hear?" Everyone started screaming at once, and someone requested "I Couldn't Help Myself," to which Sara whispered "Not in THIS lifetime, buddy!" Sara then proclaimed "My Dad is here, and he never gets to request a song. So, Dad, what will it be?" Before she finished the question, he was already saying loudly, "Simply!" And she did a wonderful version, for us and her Dad. Not that Sherry and I could tell. The staff of the Mucky Duck decided right then to dispose of all the empties in the house, one by one, into the trash can. Between the clinks and clanks of beer bottles, we thought we heard "Simply," but, quite frankly, it may as well have been "Ace of Spades."

But we had a great time, anyway.

Sons of Hermann Hall
Dallas, TX • Friday November 26, 1999
12/1/99—from Mr. TopSecret, Jeremy!

OK, OK....

Geez, you want a review? "Lip Smackin' Good." How's that?

OK, let me give it a shot. I am really bad at these since I don't write down playlists and tend to just mellow out with a few beers and a burger. On that note...

Colin Boyd started the show. I think Colin is a terrific songwriter, but perhaps not the best performer. He is at his best when he is doing his Buddy Holly style, which he did with a couple of new surf songs including "Peggy Sue went surfing (but her boyfriend's dead in Lubbock)."

Colin sang "These Hands." Later Sara would ALSO sing "These Hands" and Colin came up on stage to join her.

Sara started out with several tunes from Newborn including her a-capella "Its Alright." Since the Sons of Hermann Hall is all wood (and about a hundred years old), the resonance was wonderful. "Eye Booger" was there in the first group as well as "We are each other's Angels."

Sara then moved on to some tunes from Spiritual Appliances (which I don't know the names of), but she absolutely rocked on a couple of the tunes. Lance jumped up on his electric guitar for one of the new songs. This was probably the longest section of the show and (for me), the most enjoyable.

As mentioned previously, Sara did "These Hands" with Colin. She also sang "Take me with you" and said that if anyone couldn't handle her crying, they needed to visit a therapist. I thought my wife was going to need medical assistance, she was laughing so hard as she poked me in the ribs.

Sara did "Two Kinds of Laughter," "Joy," "Shadowboxing" (in which she forgot about half the words!), and "I Wear the Crown."

Sara ended her show at Sons of Hermann Hall with "Shortstop." I had not heard her perform "Shortstop" in quite some time. It was terrific.

This was Sara's first time back to Sons of Hermann Hall in a long time and I know she was nervous about coming back, but she was terrific. She looked great, talked about her new baby quite a bit and was generally chatty. Show lasted about two hours. All in all, a most enjoyable Sara show.

I happen to know that Chris was also at the show and I would ask her to add comments to all of the missing pieces of my "review."

Best of days to the Group...

11/1/99—From: "M. Robert Turnage"

Hiya-

Jesse beat me to the punch with the song list. Jolly good show, Jesse.

Here are some random notes:

Sara, Kristin, and Lance came out and sang the 'Threes Company' theme song
before the concert actually began.

I was incredibly happy with the audience response for 'Song for My Father'. That song is my personal favorite of Sara's and everyone went WILD over it.

Sara's PJs were a red and green kind of scotch-tape looking plaid. Kristin was wearing a flanel nightgown that was a kind of black plaid with green and red in it. Lance said his PJs were from an older neighbor and Lance washed them 50 times before he wore them.

During the Train Song, Sara's amp popped out of her guitar. This did not stop her from playing. Kristin replugged in the guitar and the song kept on going.

Sara did an impression of Carrie (from that Stephen King movie).

Sara sang a song about hopin and wishin and prayin that her guitar would work. (I know it was to the tune of an oldie song—just don't know the title.)

Sara told wedding/honeymoon stories (they went kayaking).

7. Too Fast
She did the thing where she went into a riff from 'Satisfaction'

8. Garage Song
I believe this is called 'The Place where the Garage Used to Stand' but I could be wrong. I call it the 'Garage Song', too.

9. Crazy as Love.
I did not catch the title of this song. Have it written down as "Stupid Love" and "Nothin's Quite as Crazy as Love."

Sara said she is an insomniac and only sleeps when a disaster is happening.

10. (didn't catch the title, hey other Pumpkin heads did you get it)
I have this one down as ??newsong?? "Standing Ground" sample lyric: look what I found—such a sweet sound

11. Life
She said this song was about the two people who personify the left and right halves of her brain. Sang it with Lance and Kristin singing left and right, respectively.

12. Wish I could Run (I think, I wrote the songs on my ticket stub)
You got it!
Lance played electric guitar on this one.

13. New Song—Last man in the water
Based on a 1981 Time magazine article.

14. Take Me with You (and mentioned the whole Email debate about her crying)
Except I we didn't actually blow each other up, I think.

Lance said the story is like "It's a Wonderful Life" you cry everytime and you can't help it.

Somewhere in here Sara sang a few bars of Leslie Gore's "Its My Party."

15. (new song) didn't catch the title
I have it down as "Moment of Grace"

Encore
She sang the "good-bye" song from the Carol Burnett show. "I'm so glad we
had this time together..."

20 (I can't remember the song
I don't think she dropped the title. Have it down as ??newsong?? sample lyrics: Its no secret that I love you—where the flowers replace the thorns


Just a little bit about my concert experiences: Caravan oversold the show, because we were crowded and cramped. The table I was at had six chairs when it was obvious it could only really support about four people. Wound up sitting in the aisle and had beautiful Caravan waitresses bumping into me all night long, so I really can't complain.

Also, not very many audience members wore PJs except for the people up on the front. I came in my silk kimono/robe and the lady at my table politely asked, "What country are you from?" I smiled and answered, "Dallas, Texas." That was a hoot.

Saw Jessie and said "Hi!" Got a hug from Sara. All is good with the world.

Take care!

Almost forgot!

The best part of the evening was when Sara was telling the story of her first kiss and the guy was in the audience! I have never seen Sara so embarassed before!

Anyway, that was great.

Fall Folk Festival
At the Ranch
Menomonee Falls, WI • Sat., Sept. 4, 1999

9/07/99-Review By Jeff Beiriger

Meanwhile, back at "The Ranch" ....
Sara performed at a benefit concert for Ranch Community Services, just outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin on September 4. The setting was a riding arena used for the therepeutic riding programs for kid—the first time, Sara claims, she has played in such a venue.

I'm inclined to believe her. (Carrie Newcomer, who was also on the bill, made the same claim!)

In a nutshell, Sara blew away the crowd. For anyone, like myself, who's seen Sara before, this comes as no surprise. But, being far removed from Texas, this was a crowd that had little if any exposure to her music prior to the gig (though there were a few Sara-holics in the crowd).

The set included Lily, Goops In It, It's Alright, We Are Each Other's Angels, Simply, Last Night Was A Big Rain, 500x (Train Song), I Wish I Were A Princess, Too Fast, Take Me With You, Radiation Man, Let Go, Best Of Times, Two Kinds Of Laughter, Take Whatever I Can Get, I Wear The Crown, Look At It This Way, and an audience sing-along as she/we covered Happy Together.

A few notes on the set. I Wish I Were A Princess was requested by a young man of about 5. Sara said she hadn't done the song live in ages but would try. Try she did—and the young prince was very pleased. Many a sniffle was heard after the a capella rendering of It's Alright and again after Take Me With You.

We Are Each Other's Angels featured a quartet of backing vocalists that I'm sure you'll be hearing of in the future—Joe & John DeMasi, who opened the festival, Sara's fiance (Lance), and this reviewer. Given the site, it's no wonder how we were dubbed by Sara as "The Stableboys." An unbelievable experience for this fan!

Aside from her own show, it's so refreshing to see an artist thoroughly enjoy other artists and the people. She was so good with many of "The Ranch's" clients—folks with Down's Syndrome, primarily; so generous with her time to the other performers, and so kind to the audience—she signed autographs for more than an hour!

It was a first-year festival, but if Sara fans in the Midwest pull together and support it, and if Sara's so inclined, we'd love to see her back next year!

McCabes Guitar Shop
Santa Monica, CA • Saturday, August 28, 1999

8/31/99-Review By Rob Peirson

One of the drawbacks of not living in Texas is that there are not many opportunities to see Sara Hickman in concert. My wife Derry and I were very happy that she was in Southern California again and jumped at the opportunity to see her at McCabes. We got into Sara when we saw her opening for Dan Fogelberg two years back at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.

Thus, this was the first time for us to hear her play a full set. Not only do we like her music, but also we like what she is all about.

The venue is literally a back room to a guitar shop. It seats a little over 100 people and was almost a full house. We arrived early and got seats in the second row. The sound was very good in this intimate setting. During the show Sara mentioned she used to live nearby.

She began the show with three songs from her new Newborn CD that were directed to her daughter beginning with a capella version of It’s Alright. She told a cute story of her and her mom singing about Goop in her daughter’s eyes while visiting the pediatrician. This was her last visit to this doctor since she was unable to find the humor in the moment.

She said that We Are Each Other’s Angels (which is also on Newborn) will have a newer version on her next album Spiritual Appliances due out in the spring.

She offered the comeback “I Wear the Crown” to any of us who need the right words in an argument. These words she wished she had in a conversation with a friend of high intellect. For the intro to Salvador, she spoke of her art school days and wrote this song to show the positive side of Salvador Dali.

While dumping out her garbage she met a women in her dumpster. Over time a summer she grew grow close to this special lady and wrote the song Joy to remember her by. She had to fight to get the song released and even shot her own video to help promote the song (I am going to try to buy a copy of the video, which benefits Habitat for Humanity).

With all of the terrible things going on the world she wanted to write a positive song pointing to the goodness of people for the 90s. She penned Best of Times (even though a friend pointed out that Styx already did a song of that title in the 80s). She told of a touching story of being with her grandfather after her grandmother passed away. He was a former musician who kept his feelings to himself but on that day he cried at the loss of his wife.

She sang a song that I believe is called Moment of Grace. I could not place this tune but it sounded great and we enjoyed it.

During Too Fast she broke into a version of the Rolling Stones Satisfaction where she sung, “She can’t get no satisfaction, no popsicle action”. Too bad there weren’t any popsicle factory workers in the audience.

Take Whatever I Can Get was one of many songs (around 30 ?) inspired by the breakup with a boyfriend in LA. At this point in the show she seemed to break from her song list and take some requests from the crowd. It was clear that most everyone in the room was familiar with Sara’s work and all had songs they wanted to hear.

Less than a minute into her new tune, Everything’s Red, she forgot the words and had to restart from the beginning. This song really has some energy and I look forward to hearing it again.

At age 17, she had a crush on a boy. She wrote Simply to express her love for him. She played it for him in his living room but he just didn’t get it and simply said the song was alright and went and got a coke from the kitchen. This hurt Sara so much that she filed this song away for 10 years before bringing it out for a wedding she was doing.

I bought the Newborn CD from Sara after the show. She went from performer to CD salesperson as people lined up to buy her new CD. She printed 3,000 Newborn CD’s with proceeds going to the Mautner Project and the Hill Country Youth Ranch. She signed mine “ To Rob!, God Bless & Enjoy!, thanks for the pen, Love Sara.” (I donated my pen so others could add their email address to her distribution list).

Altogether a wonderful experience. We can’t wait for her return to Southern California. For those keeping score, here are the songs she played:

  1. It's Alright (Newborn)
  2. Lily (Newborn)
  3. Goop's In It (Newborn)
  4. We Are Each Other's Angels (Newborn & Spiritual Appliances)
  5. Two Kinds of Laughter (Two Kinds of Laughter)
  6. Look At It This Way (Two Kinds of Laughter)
  7. I Wear the Crown (Two Kinds of Laughter)
  8. Salvador (Shortstop)
  9. Joy (Necessary Angels)
  10. Take Me With You (Misfits)
  11. Best of Times (Necessary Angels)
  12. Moment of Grace (. . .) <mpc note: I believe MoG will be on Spiritual Appliances>
  13. Too Fast (Shortstop)
  14. Take Whatever I Can Get (Two Kinds of Laughter)
  15. Comets of Costa Rica (Two Kinds of Laughter)
  16. Eight (Two Kinds of Laughter)
  17. Everything’s Red (Spiritual Appliances)
  18. Simply (Equal Scary People)

Jefferson Freedom Cafe
Ft. Worth, Texas • Saturday, August 21, 1999
8/31/99- by Nolandaxel

It has been a wonderful weekend. First I went skating Sat morning and ALMOST earned the right to change my ID to "Landedaxel." It was a good beginning with a GREAT ending because I got to see Sara again.

Sara was her usual greatness on and off the stage. Always giving all she can to her audience.

Sara started the evening with "Its Alright" and continued with some songs from her "Newborn" CD. We got to hear "Lily," "Goops In It," "Moonshadow," "This Heart" & "We Are Each Other's Angels." She sang a couple of songs that are going to be on her new "Spiritual Appliances" CD, which she said would be out on Valentines. What better Valentine gift could we all receive from Sara, her heart & soul in musical form.

Sara sang some songs from each of her CDs. "Pursuit Of Happiness," "The Best Of Times," "Sister & Sam," "Take Me With You," "Two Kinds Of Laughter," "Salvador" and more. She broke 2 strings on her last song. She returned to the stage for an encore. Sara ended the way she started a capella. I guess you could say her concert came full circle. She asked if anyone wanted to join her in this song to please feel free to join in. Now most things are started with this song but Sara being Sara
she decided to end with the "Star Spangled Banner" everyone stood and sang with her. As I looked around after the show I saw nothing but satisfied looks on peoples faces and there was a lot of happy chatter. Sara did it again, pleased all of her audience. :)

Thanks, SARA, You're The BEST.

Love,
Chris

Cactus Cafe
Sara Hickman and the Will Taylor Quartet!
Austin, Texas • Thursday (&Friday), August 12 (&13), 1999
8/31/99- by Karen Robinson

Hi all,

Saw Sara with her Strings Attached (Will Taylor Quartet) last night at Cactus Cafe. It's always a pleasure to see how she reinvents her music with new arrangements. Nice to hear her vocals being emphasized rather than drowned by a band. But I digress..... :-)
Here's my unsolicited review of the new CD.
"Newborn" is just fabulous. For babies, kids, and your own personal inner child—this CD hits the empty spot; that to my knowledge has never been filled so well by any performer. Some a capella, some with a guitar or viola accompanient, regardless—the songs are stellar. Sara's voice is absolutely beautiful.

I personally prefer her solo shows and this CD reminds me of those. It's warm, soft, comforting and peaceful but still an upper with happiness throughout.
Just thought I'd share because it's so rare I find a CD this wonderful and it's a children's CD to boot.

Karen
