Oh my gosh, you brought so many memories back for me with the mention of Mary Lou Lord and Elliott Smith and venues like Mercury Lounge and the label KRS. Very much all my life in the 90s and in NYC and traveling through (and playing music) the PNW and West Coast. There was a year when I went to get into a show with Mary Lou Lord on the bill but the tickets were sold out but she did an impromptu street busk on the corner for fans who couldn’t get in, which I was so impressed and delighted by. I could be remembering this incorrectly, but I remember her fondly for this.
