It was Clara's first lot. I kept looking to see what was happening only to find nothing was. So i got oon this pc and a little later she jumped on me and propmptly plopped three kittens, just like that, on my lap. Then I put them in their bed, she hopped in and curled tight around them and didn't move even to eat or drink for three days. Anyway, it was an unexpected shock to hear of Dina's death. Unexpected because I am not a Royalist(I think we should be a republic), I hate pomp and nonsense, I hate the class system etc. BUT John and I layed in bed and watched them getting married, knowing full well that she was being set up. Later on learning of all her difficulties and seeing her overcome them and not letting 'The Firm' beat her, was something to admire. Not just me but millions of others saw her as a victim(she was)who got even by becoming a strong and powerful woman(she did). Just as everything was going well for her, she is killed. Also, the fact that she was daily in the newspapers and on the tv for years helped to make her loss more readily felt. It moved me to tears and only the Dunblane massacre of 16 little children had previously made me do that. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 23:51:10 +0100 From: catman Subject: Re: Princess Diana in Memorial (njc) > > > NP/ Van Morrison - The Philosopher Stone (2nd CD) Van was 53 today. - -- CARLY SIMON DISCUSSION LIST http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk/ethericcats/index.html TANTRA’S/ETHERIC PERSIANS AND HIMALAYANS http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 18:56:45 EDT From: Ashara@aol.com Subject: CSN flat (NJC) In a message dated 8/31/98 6:45:55 PM Eastern Daylight Time, jlamadoo@one.net writes: << What I do remember is that CSN sang flat, flat, flat and everyone at the Fillmore loved them. >> I have a bootleg tape from about 100 years ago of CSN, and they are ssoooooooooo out of tune!!

(NJC)) I really dig his first album! Saw him about six years ago in Harrisburg, PA, He was great. Jill Sobule opened for him. She is a powerful, intense performer. She was all by herself and she played a Martin travel guitar. She had a really interesting percussive pick-up sound - strange, not too acoustic, but it worked really well - she jammed like crazy. And then Jude Cole ... he had a really great band with him. When I listen to his first album I am so amazed by all the layered guitar tracks on that album. there must be about twenty of them on there. I like his other albums too, but you know how it is ... sometimes there is one that you have turned inside out and that will always remain your favorite because you know it so well.

He does not appear to care for Joni ;-( when Joni is playing, he lays around limp, looking depressed and occasionally letting out audible sighs every time. He does, however, appear actually to love some music. I can always tell - he will go sit or relax right next to the stereo and seem entranced. He loves pretty, mellow music like Nick Drake and he dances to Brazilian music. But his favorite of all was that album of Gregorian chants produced by some monks, which was popular a few years back!!

We could meet up in the Horseshoe Bar in the Shelbourne to discuss the greening of Joni Mitchell. At closing time we could ask the management to direct us to the room she occupied in '83.

A couple of weeks ago I pre-ordered Lauryn Hill's new CD. I followed all of the instructions on the website, and chose the correct shipping (Fed-Ex 2-day) to receive it on its release date. On that date, I checked the status of my order to discover that it had been shipped out not two days before the release date, but only one. In other words, it wasn't arriving until the next day. Because I already knew I might have some trouble being there to sign for it, etc., I was pissed. Besides, I'm a certifiable music freak, and when I order my music to get it on the first day its available, I want it on the first date available goddammit! So, I called up Music Blvd. and asked them what's up. They were like, oh yeah, I guess we did send it too late. So I was like, so what are you gonna do for me? Shouldn't I get some sort of credit since you screwed up? Give us your phone number, they said, and we'll call you back. A few minutes later I got an email informing me that I had received a *store credit* (i.e. to benefit from it I would have to spend more money there) in the amount of the shipping charge only. But even worse, when they applied my credit to my account, THEY ERASED PRIOR STORE CREDIT I had built up with them through other transactions. I was fuming. They screwed up, I called them on it, and somehow I lose credit I had earned?! Screw that! So I emailed them, asking yet again, what's up? That was Wednesday. As of tonight, I have not heard ONE WORD back. I sent a follow-up email today. In the follow-up I promised to spread the word on their service record, and here I am now keeping my promise. I have in the past had a wonderful release-date experience with CD Now. Through them I pre-ordered the limited edition version of an imminent release. A couple of days before the release date, they realized that they did not have enough ltd ed copies to meet the orders. So, UNSOLICITED, they offered me a FREE copy of the regular release of the album, which I received on the day of release with no problem whatsoever. I would gladly shop at CD Now again. So, go to Les's site and pre-order Joni's disc, but if you want it on the release date make sure to avoid Music Blvd. - --Michael, who STILL does not have his Music Blvd. order NP: Tori Amos, _More Pink, The B-Sides_ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 22:10:45 -0400 From: Michael Yarbrough Subject: (NJC) Van Gogh update RUN DON'T WALK to your phone or Ticketmaster outlet.

If you are unable to get tix for 11/7, try for 11/6 or 11/8. I will continue my quest for free tix (from a different pool), but we never know. If you have tix for one day in hand there is always the chance you could trade them for tix on 11/7 itself. And if you can't, we'll still party and compare notes all weekend, so what the hell?

That was the band Grace Slick > sang with before she joined the Airplane. You're good, Mark! Yes, Grace does it on the Great Society album (I have the funky orange-colored cover one).
