Jewel is spending time before the holidays on the United Service Organizations "Holiday 2000 Tour" entertaining troups in the Balkans and European installations.

Added Joy: A Holiday Collection lyrics in HTML and Zip format. Also added Pieces of You lyrics in Zip format. The Zip files contain text files. To open the zip files on Windows PCs, goto www.winzip.com. Macs can open them with Stuffit Expander/Drop Stuff which is included on newer Macs. Unix users can use unzip which comes with most flavors including Solaris 7 and Linux.

Foolish Games hit 200,000 hits today with an average of 1,526 impressions per day since early november.

The STARZ Network will show Ride with the Devil on the following dates: Mon Dec 4 at 10:05PM EST, Sun Dec 10 at 1:05AM EST, and Sat Dec 16 at 3:15AM EST

I have moved all of the quicktime, midi, and other files to a new server on a T1 circuit. This should speed up the download times. I plan on moving the real audio files as well. This will take some time as I need to hand edit each stream file and place in the new url. Eventually I will offer 2 download locations.

Jewel has cancelled her online chat on B&N and the Hardball with Chris Matthews appearance. No reason was stated.

I am in the process of updating the lyrics archive on this website. The current archive is quite a bit behind and I want to get this up to speed with more recent works. I have added several Spirit lyrics and plan to add more. The complete process should take a few weeks to complete as I am experimenting with some new formatting techniques on the server end. If all goes well this should speed up updates in the future.

Also I have some pictures that will be going up today in the pics area of the site. Most likely I will post them in the Misc section.
