Although when I got Dusty In Memphis in the 70's it had 4 bonus tracks and I think Patrick mentioned that the cd now has 14 bonus tracks. This must surely make it the most added on to record ever. Here's another thing for the historians, which I spotted in Jerry Wexler's book last night. While making Dusty In Memphis, Dusty tipped off Wex about this dynamite unsigned group she knew in England. Thus Atlantic came to sign Led Zeppelin - the most lucrative signing in the labels' history.

Sorry to post a personal message to the list, but I'm trying to get ahold of Eric and it seems like the email address I have for him is no longer valid. Just a quick note to let you know that the Pork Pie Hat variation has already been used. How about "Dancing Fools" Garlic and Apple Pie? (from Sweet Sucker Dance). Also, I still need your bio!!!!

Many years ago (like maybe 25) it was possible to get an autoharp for around $100. I searched on the web thru Yahoo and the only retailers (actually Luthiers) I could find wanted upwards of $500 for their instruments. Does anyone know where I might be able to get an autoharp for less than that?

They are the largest manufacturer of autoharps. I bought mine 29 years ago for $50. I've been offered $750, but will never part with it.

But, always, the unpredictable caliber of her work has been as exciting as it is frustrating. Now for once, she has gambled and lost. The best that can be said for Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is that it is an instructive failure." Read the full thrashing at: article: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/revdjrs.htm 1986: Today's Los Angeles Herald publishes an article on Joni, saying ""Larry's given me a very stable home life," she sums up with a smile. "I've been very busy just living for the past three years or so. People tend to say, 'Oh, you've been laying low - we haven't seen your photo in the papers much.' But the thing is, to be a writer, you need to be slightly invisible, and you need to live and go where ordinary people are. To be 'a star' means that no longer are you the watcher; you're the watched. And when you're being watched it's very hard to create. I'm more of a watcher."

I've read a few articles about him but I don't think he has ever mentioned Joni. I was introduced to Smith by the wonderful Marilune on this very list. If anyone would know, she would (What's happened to you Marianna?) She was so enthusiastic about him that I just had to buy one of his albums and was not disappointed. He's toured the UK more than once but, so far I havn't managed to see him. All his albums are cool and a lot of his music was used for the soundtrack of "Good Will Hunting". On other listers recommendation I also bought Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels" but cannot get into it at all. Oh well, you win some, you lose some!

I still haven't got the first album; I didn't like her voice when I first heard her, but ended up loving "She Cries Your Name", which got played a lot on GLR. She seems like a really simpatica person too (in fact while we're at it, she's got beautiful eyes, and I could quite easily fall for her!!) Quick recommendation to the List: Eva Cassidy. She was a truly extraordinary singer, incredibly gifted, innately musical and souful, who died very young of cancer. This tragedy happened quite recently (1997 I think), and a compilation from her 3 albums was released last year in memoriam. It's called "Songbird"; I've just bought it, and it's truly, truly beautiful. It made me quite sad listening to it and looking at the picture of this lovely, ethereal looking woman. The eerie thing is that the cover picture makes her look almost ghostly, because of the sunlight.
