I said it before, and I'll say it again: I nominate Marsha for Queen of BWAAA-HAAAA-HAAAA-HAAAA!!! Honey, do you carry around Popeil's Pocket Rimshot? 'Cause it was made for you! Jim Lamadoo wrote, re: the bandwidth-sucking NJC debate(!): "...It means to accept the stuff that fills a need for you. As for the rest, do not criticize it because it may be valuable to someone else. There may be someone listening who is so different from you that they need to hear it." BEAUTIFUL! This is possibly the best argument yet! And from gentle Pat: "If one wants to discuss other topics at length, why not e-mail privately to those who appear to want to talk about Clinton? Let's try short messages. People are more apt to read them." As a wordy (mouthy?) poster, include me out! How can you POSSIBLY know what people are more apt to read, my dear? (But I agree -- godforBID we should start talking about Clinton again!^) Pleasepleaseplease find and use your delete button! I'll peruse and edit my OWN e-mails, thankyouverymuch. Well, it's silly to get so worked up about such a perennial debate -- it certainly crops up with nagging regularity. I say we table it till March, yet another month with a blue moon. Free speech for me but not for thee? Life IS for learning!

It was such an amazing feeling for me to hang out with Kakki in her hometown. We had a super time and I have to echo my feelings for Vince, whoa what a show. I went through the exhibit 3 times before I had the feeling I might be holding up the others (seeing how most of them had disappeared). There were many pieces I had never seen before and actually I feel like I had never seen any of them before (even though I own a few prints). It was just so amazing LIVE. The Daily Grill was alot of fun and the food was quite yummy (and the waitress kept my credit card which I thought was a ploy by the gods to get me back there to run into Joan. I never made it back so they will have to send it to me and I will have to return later to find my love) Seeing people I have only read is such a treat and a feeling I want to have regularly. I am in the process of sussing out Joni Fest plans for the New Orleans area. As soon as I return from Honduras next week I will do some major plans and get back to yous' on dat. I'd like to comment that some of us are far to humble about our writing (CLARK) and we need to "get it out there" for all to appreciate soon. I mean it, you were the "Toy Surprise" in the box of cracker jacks, for me. Everyone was so nice and I wish it coulda lasted longer and been on a night where we coulda all slept in late the next day. As usual I gravitated towards the musicians mostly and enjoyed hearing Mariana (earlier in the day), Steve Dulson, Kakki (who is getting more daring every time I party with her and who is threatening to pull out all those hits from the past any day now), and of course Clark. To the New England group of musicians and singers, I wish you could have been there with us for this one and I remembered all of you while it was going on. Marian while you were unplugged in Vienna we were plugged into the VG-8 and I know we had to be "sending out those signals her" and I am so happy you are out playing regularly again (especially all kinds of songs besides Joni). I am gonna catch your sets one day and I hope it's in Vienna. My only regrets that I can vocalize in this forum would be that you all could not be there with us, Kakki didn't catch Crosby, and THOSE BASTARDS WOULDN'T LET US IN TO SEE EARTH, WIND. AND FIRE. If it's any consolation Kakki, I hear it was not the whole band (no horns HUH?? Earth wind and PHHHHHTTTT!!) I will try to get on from Honduras, but if I don't manage, I will see you guys next week. Be nice to each other and may you enjoy good music (whatever YOU THINK that might be) Love and peace to all, Paz ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 14:01:32 +0800 (PST) From: Joseph Palis Subject: (VLJC) - Michael Tomlinson and Kevyn Lettau I came across a very interesting URL (www.michaeltomlinson.com) about a Seattle-based singer whose style reminds me of Jimmy Webb and Joshua Kadison. His name's Michael Tomlinson and what I find most interesting in his homepage was his FAVORITE PEOPLE AND BOOKS. After smiling inwardly at the similarities of books he mentioned as his favorites and my own list, I was even glad to look at his favorite singers and found Joni there along with (among others) Sade, etc. I wrote him through email and told him about my affinity with Joni and he replied by saying that he saw Joni perform last summer and that "she's wonderful beyond words". Kevyn Lettau is another bossa-nova jazz singer who used to do lead vocals for Sergio Mendes. Along with Ella Fitzgerald, she mentioned Joni as an influence. And I noticed that Joni has this influence among singers of different genre and that if its not her lyrics that strike them most, its her innate musicianship verging on the classical. Joseph PS. Heard a certain singer named Dee Cartensten (sp?) admitted on TV that she likes Joni most. Makes me want to check out Dee's albums all of a sudden as if I already knew her. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 02:02:18 EST From: Gellerray@aol.com Subject: Re: question on joni stats In a message dated 99-02-02 14:12:23 EST, you write: << >6. does she have a favorite alcoholic beverage?

Remember that anyone? She spoke about liking pot every once in awhile too to get her out of writing jams, but she also was very conditional about that. Said after smoking "you've only got about 15 minutes," and then it's over--and that if you do it every day it doesn't work very well either. Something like that. all quotes are from memory by the way--but they're pretty accurate I believe. I have a pretty well tuned Joni ear in some ways--the things she says linger in it that is. ray ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V4 #57 ************************* There is now a JMDL tape trading list.
