	George Graham Reviews Christine Lavin's "Shining..."
		Lavin, consisting of songs that are all “little stories that come from real life,” as she describes them, adding “I wish I could make things up out of thin air, but I can’t.” While other musicians were added in a regular recording studio to the tracks Ms.
		Lavin was participating in a membership drive, and had just sung her latest song, which had yet to be given a title, on the air.
		Lavin writes that the only college course in which she ever received a “D” was astronomy, and she tries to make it up with this well-researched song.

	VIGIL ~ NY Songs since 9/11 - Christine Lavin & "Firehouse'
		Christine created, directed, produced, and taught performance courses at the "Martha's Vineyard Singer /Songwriters' Retreat"; two, month-long events that gathered thirty American songwriters on that island to meet, collaborate, and record new material in September of 1992 and 1993.
		In her free time Christine writes essays and articles (The Washington Post, The St. Petersburg Times, Delta "Sky" Magazine, The Performing Songwriter Magazine) and was the host and now guest host for the popular "Sunday Breakfast" radio program on WFUV 90.7 FM, public radio, from Fordham University in New York City.
		Christine Lavin describes her local firehouse on the Upper West Side of New York, and how the mood changed from hope to despair as it became obvious that there were almost no survivors.

	arborweb reviews - review: Christine Lavin
		For over fifteen years Lavin's been a full-time folk musician, but her press pack dubs her a "full-service entertainer," acknowledging her penchant for material that veers into stand-up comedy and a more than occasional predilection to stop the show for some pyrotechnic baton-twirling.
		Lavin's latest live CD, The Subway Series, recorded on the campus of Fordham University, features selections that span her career and reflect her wide-eyed amazement about the sweet, unremarkable moments of life.
		Not that Lavin particularly cares about being heard by the churning masses: she has quite a nice gig going and doesn't seem to be complaining.

	Christine Lavin to Play (and Knit) at Philipsburgh Performing Arts Center -- by the Half Moon Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Lavin, a Peekskill native, has a vibrant touring schedule which takes her all over the world.
		She has recorded and released 13 solo albums of original material, sings her own and others' songs on three disks of the "Four Bitchin' Babes" (a group she founded, nurtured and performed in during the '90s) and has put together and produced eight compilations showcasing the works of dozens of singer/songwriters.
		Lavin also tells stories, twirls glowing batons on-stage, and has most recently incorporated a digital phrase sampler into her live concert, enabling her to create improvised lyrics (and intricate vocal harmonies) on the fly.

	Christine Lavin, The Bellevue Years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As a Christine Lavin aficionado, I much prefer her live performances, since that seems to be the method that best captures her energy.
		Since Lavin's original tunes are often based on real-life adventures -- OK, well, maybe not adventures, just the same sort of casual disasters that befall us all -- it's fascinating to see the updates in the liner notes for this re-released CD.
		Lavin is joined on this recording by Larry Jacoby (electric bass), Larry Robbins (piano on "Tidal Wave"), Marshal Rosenberg (percussion), Marty Laster (viola on "Sonja Henie") and the Atavistics (Gregory Fleeman, Brenna McDonough, Megon McDonough, David Roth and Josh Joffen).

		Christine Lavin: Live at the Cactus Café had me chuckling so often that my dear sweet daughter thought I had lost what is left of my mind.

		Lavin's subjects of her more humorous songs usually deal with gender issues, said Kamerer, who described her as "Robin Williams with a guitar, only female," and said both have the ability to act on humor with an amazing spontaneity.

		But with Christine Lavin, you could generally count on getting a healthy dose of wit and humor.
		True to form, Lavin makes sure that her humorous outlook is what defines Compass.

		But she also tosses out books she's written about Pluto's dubious planet-hood, passes on chain cassettes, provides her famous petite pain au chocolate recipe in song and photocopy forms, and after the show she might offer manicures to attendees, or gather folks around in a knitting circle to share in one of her newest passions.

	CD Baby: CHRISTINE LAVIN: Sometimes Mother Really Does Know Best
		Long acclaimed as a "comic observer of contemporary manners" (The New York Times), the hilarious Christine Lavin quite literally shines in live performance as she straps on a miner's headlamp and twirls her glowing batons.
		Releasing albums since 1981, Christine is capable of great sincerity and tenderness in her music, but it's her perceptively humorous original compositions that attract the most attention.
		Christine has been building the resume of a modern-day Renaissance woman even as she extends her recording and touring career into its third decade.

	Christine Lavin, Future Fossils (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Future Fossils, Christine Lavin's first full-length studio album from 1985, is like all of her releases.
		The song is a scream and is made even more so because Lavin tells the story while keeping it clean (if you can believe that), thereby leaving some of the humor up to your imagination.
		Lavin may be doing the same sort of thing year after year but she is so good at what she does that her work never gets stale.
