Well, I have to say, one reason I've been so quiet lately, is that I absolutely wouldn't have the foggiest idea of which LP's, tapes, singles, or CD's were the first I ever bought. It is absolutely amazing to me how you guys can remember these things!!! It was just waaaaaay too long ago, and with the amount of music I have bought over the years, it would just put my brain cells into apoplexy to even try. Anyway.......where was I.......??? ;-) Oh yeah.....one thing I do remember VERY well, was my first rock concert. I have no idea how old I was, but suffice it to say I was young enough to have absolutely no idea what was going on. (Maybe about 9 or 10.) My best friend's dad owned a record store, and he used to get free tickets to concerts all the time to all kinds of shows. He had about 6 tickets, 4th row, center to this guy I had never heard of....Jimi Hendrix. So, I tagged along with my friend, my older brother, and a few others. The concert was pretty loud, and towards the end, he started to smash his guitar hard against the amp, and then turned around and held up his two fingers, laughing. He continued to do this, and, man, I was one really confused little teeny bopper!! I had no idea what he was doing, or what he meant by it. So, of course, I turned to my older and wiser brother, and asked him what it meant when he was holding up his two fingers. His reply was "God, you are such a stupid little idiot!" Great. Now I was more confused than ever. This obviously was some mystical sign that everyone in the world knew except me! And how could I ask someone what it was, without seeming completely out of the loop? I mustered all my courage, took a deep breath, and asked my friend, hoping she wouldn't give me the same answer. "It's the Peace sign," she said. Phew! No I finally understood what he was doing, but I still thought it was a waste of a good guitar! Hugs, Ashara ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 00:35:52 +0100 From: "Peter Holmstedt" Subject: Plug Of The Week #7 Hi there, Thanks to dear friend Russ Paris ( of Jackson Browne Website- fame ) I've been able to put the MOST WONDERFUL item in my computer this last week : "Under The Covers" - Album Cover Stories (Triptych CD-Rom) ( by Henry Diltz, Gary Burden and friends ) As you may know, Henry Diltz is a great photographer and Gary Burden is one of the best art directors around. Together they have created LOTS of classic albums since the late 60's and up to this very day : The Doors - Morrison Hotel ( Elektra ) Crosby Stills Nash - Crosby Stills Nash ( Atlantic ) Joni Mitchell - Blue ( Reprise ) Jackson Browne - Saturate Before Using ( Asylum ) The Byrds - The Byrds ( Asylum ) Poco - Crazy Eyes ( Epic ) Neil Young - Mirror Ball ( Reprise ) ...and COUNTLESS others! Did you ever wonder how some of these imaginative album covers came about? How did artists like The Doors, Dan Fogelberg, America, The Eagles, CSN, Neil Young and The Monkees ( to name just a few ) manage to capture the essence of their music in a couple of photographs on an album jacket? Here's an opportunity to find out how the magic happens! "Under The Covers" is a CD-Rom that incorporate pictures, movies, music and narration and combines them to create a colorful tapestry of sensory experiences. From Downtown LA to Sunset Strip, from the Monterey Pop Festival to Woodstock, Henry captures the feelings of the times on film. Gary's attention to detail and penchant for straying off the beaten path in design have brought about some wonderful award-winning album covers. This CD-Rom takes the viewer behind the scenes. The stories are simply terrific. Including the actual footage of the various characters ( Eagles, CSN etc. ) from then and now, adds a sense of completeness yet reminiscence to the unfolding tale. Seeing all that went into the creation of different albums ( Eagles' "Desperado" and Young's "Mirror Ball", in particular ) is intensely interesting and downright entertaining Need I say more? This WONDERFUL item is available from Henry's Gallery at : http://www.powernet.net/~peterb/sellsheet.html or by email from : peterb@powernet.net Buy 1 for yourself and 3 for your best friends!

Her name is LIBBY TITUS, and she's from Woodstock. But she was from Woodstock long before Dylan or The Band ever heard of the place, long before that little gathering at Yasgur's farm. She was born in Woodstock. "A product of the post-War baby boom." Her mother was a showgirl, her father a writer, and her Russian grandparents were professional opera singers, and then teachers of music. "About the time I was fourteen, I started hanging out at a club in Woodstock called the Village Green. There was a guitar player there named Eric Kaz, and I used to follow him around and beg him to play. Later, I used to sing with Chevy Chase -- who was playing jazz piano there." She left Woodstock to go to Bard College, then decided that she'd take on Manhattan. "I hung around the Village, and was really doing a lot of singing. I got a job singing one year in Virginia Beach, and I worked in Washington, D.C. For a while, I used to open the show for Peter, Paul & Mary at a lot of stupid little clubs." Then she went back to Woodstock. "A friend of mine said there's a great new group called THE BAND ... and I finally gave in and went to see them. Well, we ended up staying at Robbie Robertson's house. Robbie and I really clicked artistically, and I decided to stay around. By this time, I had written a song called 'LOVE HAS NO PRIDE' with Eric Kaz, though no one had recorded it yet. ALBERT GROSSMAN signed me, and I went into the studio with TODD RUNGREN as producer. We did a few cuts, but I just wasn't musically ready to finish the album. Anyway, making a record is much more than just writing songs and having a good voice. You've got to have some business sense." "After we all agreed not to go further with that project, I spent a lot of time just hanging out and singing with my friends very casually. Then CBS heard about me, and decided they wanted to sign me. I had a couple of false starts, and then Paul Simon told me "Well, Libby, it looks like your friends are going to have to help you now." So they did. That's why my first Columbia album is produced by PAUL, by ROBBIE ROBERTSON, and by CARLY SIMON, with PHIL RAMONE as executive producer. I couldn't be happier. This is the first time in my life anything has ever come together so beautifully". - ----- 'LOVE HAS NO PRIDE' was recorded by both Bonnie Raitt on her album 'Give It Up' and Linda Ronstadt on her album 'Don't Cry Now', among others. for now ~ take care, - ------- simon - ------- PS: to the best of my knowledge Carly Simon has two sisters, Lucy and Johanna ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 15:47:43 -0800 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: Hot Property and Joni Hip Spot in Hollywood Ken wrote: >Joni is in the "Hot Property" column in the Real Estate section of >Today's L.A. Times. Under the headline "Rocking and Renovating" the >story recounts how she's put a home in the Hollywood hills that she's >never lived in on the market for $829,000. I was awakened by an phone call early this morning from my mother alerting me to this latest Joni news. (The Hot Property column is the first thing she reads every Sunday - a more repsectable alternative to reading the National Enquirer ;-). It sounds quite nice: "The Hollywood Hills home that Mitchell is selling was purchased about two years ago as an investment. She gutted the house, built in the '70s and turned it into a mix of country and contemporary styles with open beams and city views. Behind gates and up a private drive, the home has three bedrooms, a family room and a bonus room in about 2,500 sqaure feet. On the half-acre grounds are winding tree-lined paths, a fountain and patios." This is purely my own imaginative speculation, but since she bought the home at the same time she was reunited with Kilauren, I wonder if she might have bought it initially hoping that Kilauren would move out this way? Found yet another blurb on Joni in the latest Los Angeles magazine (who seem to mention something about her every month). In the article "Will Success Spoil Hollywood Boulevard?" about its recent rejuvenation and renovation, the insider hip restaurant Les Deux Cafes is mentioned along with this bit: "Maybe it's because Joni Mitchell actually eats at night in her relentlessly hip restaurant, but whatever the reason, the French-born [owner] Lamy says that when she walks onto Las Palmas Avenue outside Les Deux Cafes early in the morning, she generally thinks about Mitchell's song "Morning Morgantown."

We were discussing our worst concerts tonight and his came right on top as being the worst and most "nutty" in comparison to mine. Around 1977, Comiskey park (baseball stadium) in Chicago would host these all day/night concerts called "World Series of Rock". On one night, Ted Nugent was the headliner. Ted was/is full of himself. After about the 4th encore (if you can call them encores...people were walking out) the crowd tired of Ted and began tossing the only items available to them. The water bottles that were the only thing they were allowed to bring in to the concert. These bottles, of varying shapes and sizes cascaded from the top of the upper deck down to the lower deck and onto the field. Wave after wave of of plastic jugs were hurtled towards the stage until Ted and his band were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of plastic containers. He flipped off the crowd as he kicked his way through the debri and off the stage. It was quite a sight! My most "appreciative" concert was ( I'm changing the subject a bit here) Leo Kottke. The day before the show, he had broken his thumb. I was amazed at how well he played. Only once did he mention it. He seemed to only bring it up because he was afraid that he wasn't playing up to snuff. I've broken fingers before and know how painful it is just to sit there, not to mention play guitar! He was incredible!!! jody ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V4 #89 ************************* There is now a JMDL tape trading list.
