I have it on very good authority that Joni is currently in New York specifically for the occasion. I don't know what part she will be playing (pun intended) in the event but it could be exciting!!!! - -- Phyliss, wishing she was going to be there pward@lightspeed.net http://www.bodywise.com/consultants/bpward ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 16:41:42 -0700 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: Joni at Joni's Jazz!!!

No offense to you or any of the participants, Dave, but I think what it *means* is that the majority of us are sick to death of this thread and *really* wish you all would put your whips away and leave that poor dead horse alone.

I sent this to both lists, because the info here may be important to some of you. I have noticed that many people have sent for information for the New England Labor Day Jonifest that is happening here in September. The more the merrier, and I hope as many people as possible can make it here! It should be a GREAT time! I am going to be away for a month (July 24th-August 24th), without access to the internet for the most part, and I would like to do as much pre-planning as possible during the next few weeks. If you have any interest, no matter how slight, in coming to the Boston area for this party, please let me know right away if you haven't already contacted me directly. I just don't want to be surprised a week before the party that we will have 50 extra people planning on attending! Also, if you have any questions about the party, please ask them in the next few weeks as well. Hope to see a lot of you here! Reminders: Sign up for the mailing list for those interested in the party. http://www.jmdl.com/lists/ For more information about this year's Fest, send a blank message to: info-laborday@jmdl.com To check out the fun we had at LAST YEAR'S Fest, go to: http://www.jmdl.com/gallery/party9809.htm Keep those donations coming in for Wally!

I know I could identify with the person who is talking to Amelia..way back when....when my relationship sucked!!! I had a friend who is a Lakota native american....that song is so him. Whenever I hear that song he pops into my head! When I heard Man from Mars for the first time the first thing I thought was * She did it again....what a wonderful song*. Finding out it was about her cat made the song so much more dear to my heart ( I lost a cat to a fast moving car...one big boo-hoo :( So when I hear that song I think about my kitty. The list goes on and on!

The intro-credits music is an incredibly syrupy muzak-version of "The Circle Game."
