New England Patriots vs New York Jets Tickets
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 4:15 PM at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA

Find best deals on New England Patriots vs New York Jets Tickets Here!

The Patriots were able to win 11 games in 2008 without their best player, Tom Brady. Brady should be ready for the 2009 campaign and this offense should return to being the dynamic unit that it was in 2007. Head coach Bill Belichick did a great job keeping things together in 2008, but he can really let it fly again in 2009 with Brady back on board.

See the Patriots when they play against New York Jets on November 22. Be there with your New England Patriots vs New York Jets tickets as they take back the AFC East crown in 2009!

New England Patriot tickets remained popular in 2008 despite quarterback Tom Brady going down with a season-ending knee injury. The team still managed to win 11 games and narrowly missed out on the playoffs. With Brady back in 2009, the Patriots should return as one of the dominant teams in the National Football League. Get your New England Patriots vs New York Jets tickets to see them hit the field!

Nov 22, 2009: Claudia Nygaard - 2004 Kerrville Music Festival "New Folk" songwriting competition winner at notfarG House Concerts

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:56:07 -0700

Claudia Nygaard's long legs hang over both sides of that same fence between country and folk music that Guy Clark and John Prine have straddled. Her sound is acoustic, and while her songs find their roots and rhythms in the Americana storytelling tradition, the melodies are passionate and emotional and the lyrics are vivid and descriptive.

A former staff songwriter for Greenwood Music on Nashville’s Music Row, Nygaard found that writing formulaic “radio friendly” love songs for the country music industry was not for her. Instead she chose to buy back her contract and songs, and write what was in her heart. She writes about real people and real life. "J.C.," the song that won Claudia the 2004 Kerrville Music Festival "New Folk" songwriting competition, explores racisim through the eyes of a child. In "Edna" the listener feels a protective tenderness for the mentally challenged woman with "hugs that don't let go". The steamy lyric of "What Her Girlfriends Say" paints a picture of the sensual desire a young woman feels for a working class man her girlfriends don't approve of. The title cut of her CD, "Somewhere Else To Go", pulls the listener into that aching loneliness created by a love gone bad. Her music is also rampant with irreverent humor. In "I Don't Need A Man (I Just Want One)" and "Dumped By A Dweeb", Claudia delightfully pokes fun at the gender gap. She crafts songs that range from heartfelt to humorous, and she does so with a quick wit, and an articulate point of view.

“The real strength of the material lies in the lyrics. Each song is a distinct and individual story...”
Paul Moser, Music Connection Magazine, Los Angeles, CA

“There is a womanly warmth in her tone that suggests some sentiments are based on experience... what comes over is a refreshing individuality...”
Richard Kirk, Country Music Round-Up, UK
