Subject: Re: First Time/Worst Time (NJC)
Coming out of the shadows......
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

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

or by email from :

Buy 1 for yourself and 3 for your best friends!
Take care,
Peter

L I B B Y T I T U S i s . . .
- ------------------------------------------------
from: '1977 Columbia Records Promotional Copy'
- ------------------------------------------------
The voice is strong and clear and full of real style, real quality. 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.

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."

to the best of my knowledge, Joni has only ever acknowledged writing

FWIW: the person above paraphrased from memory, attributed it
to a specific article, and *still* got it wrong.
it always a good idea to be careful about putting words
(or ones' own interpretation) into Joni's mouth.
or perhaps Paul was speaking with tongue-in-cheek. it's often hard to tell.

Thanks Ashara! I'm glad I'm not alone. I think the first CD I bought was either
Joni or the Beatles but thats the best I can do!

Hi Everyone,
Scott is not officially on the JMDL, but he is vicariously so to
speak?!? 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!!!
