Hey girl! Hope all is well. I'm on my way to Iowa tomorrow. Wahoo. Maybe see you at Ritual Cafe on Saturday night? Saw you on their schedule for next month with Eric Taylor. Cool!

Hi BeJae--
I was just watching news and heard about a traveling exhibit on Woodstock. Made me think that I knew someone who attended...you? Anyway, I am just writing to say hello. I hope things are well.

I know you love us! You dedicated a song to me that healed my heart, BeJae. So if you find yourself in Raleigh / Durham again sometime soon, you have a warm room waiting for you.

I'm not sure that Fairbanks has an unjumpable claim (Alaska humor, from the gold mining days) on hosting the Farthest North BeJae Fleming Fan Club. I know of tiny villages on islands in the Chukchi Sea WAY above the Arctic Circle, as well as a Yukon River village with radio reach into Canada are rocking to CDs from BeJae and the Band. Are there any fan clubs from Point Hope, Barrow, Prudhoe Bay, or Kaktovik? Speak up so you can claim the Farthest North honors.
Even though in miles we are far, far, far from the Heartland, your music reverberates throughout the "Last Frontier."
I find Rhonda’s message from "Rudy's" particularly poignant in villages throughout Alaska. Even though most Alaska villages aren't connected to a road system, have few to no cars, no parking lots, nor diners --- similar to the fate of Rudy’s Diner --- in Alaska in the last 30 years much of what made up villages and village culture has been “swept … clean away.” Throughout Alaska we seem to be wrestling with Rhonda’s message, “some things you can’t hold back even if you try.”
BeJae, and band, you are phenomenal.
Couldn’t make it way up here in Alaska without the connections your music provides.

From the Farthest North BeJae Fleming Fan Club: Though she has never performed in Alaska, BeJae has a growing throng of fans. I use her songs in my sociology courses at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, most recently in my Love, Sex, and Heartbreak class. The students enjoy "Your Love is a Car", although they are confused by the metaphor. Which is actually prrr-fect, as I use this song to teach about Symbolic Interactionism, which confuses even seasoned sociologists. I have also used "Don't Criticize My Love" to teach Marxist theories about sexuality. Jesse Helms never had so much press so far North. "Cutaway" works well when I need my students to analyze the sociology of personally ruinous, even illicit romantic liaisons. There is a big market here for that. I'm still trying to find a sociological hook for "Rudy's" and "When It Comes to You", my two current favorite songs. "We All Got Wings" seems dangerous to play for college students; they are uncontrollable enough as it is without giving them any liberating ideas. Thanks for the music.

BeJae, et al (that's "al", not "Al"),
You guys do fine work (even if Jackie and Al don't get mics)!
I thoroughly enjoyed Al's equipment tour. I once (before I started playing) asked a member of a local garage band what kind of guitar (singular) he had. As he listed about a half-dozen makes/models, he looked at me as though I had arrived from another planet. Now I know better.
I'm a novice guitar player (well, I'm working my way up toward novice), and have a newly-found, sincere respect for anyone who can play - even a seemingly-simple chord progression.
I bought your "Navigating Limbo" CD for myself last Christmas. Good stuff! I'm heading to the Octagon Shop (Ames) this afternoon to see if
they still have "Destination Unimportant".
Sorry for rambling. Keep up the good work and take care, all.
Regards,
Van

I love the earthy feel and tone of all of BeJae's music and lyrics. I have been a fan since I first heard her right after she moved up here from the South (their loss).
