What about the Beatles? Class, how did the Fab Four influence you? >> I cant say how much I listened to the Beach Boys other than to say I made a two hour compilation reel to reel tape and listened to it all the time in the 60s. They had so many incredibly fun songs. But the BBs were influenced by the Four Freshmen in their vocal treatment of songs like In my Room etc. As for the Beatles they were sort of their own thing. Its hard to emulate Lennon or McCartney's voice. They are among the most incredible voices in the history of Rock. I did incorporate things they did alot like the oblique references and metaphors into my original songs. On the other hand Clarks got the Beach Boy ambience down to a tee. I love his song Boys in the Sand. marcel deste ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 08:35:27 EST From: Siresorrow@aol.com Subject: Re: Top 10 Jmdler Quotes - 2000 In a message dated 12/19/00 11:54:05 PM Eastern Standard Time, jmichaelpaz@telocity.com writes: < Patrick- Do I know these people?

After all, 2000 brought us a new studio release, a tour, an exhibition of her paintings...I imagine she'll be keeping a low profile in 2001, UNLESS her strategy is to knock off a record a year to fulfill her contract with Reprise and then retire. My preference would be to see her switch over to a label like Righteous Babe where she could have even more freedom with her musical projects. As far as Tributes go, the JMDL put out FIFTEEN CD's worth of tribute in 2000!! Way to go gang! No way we'll be able to top that in '01! Not to mention the TNT Tribute CD, not to mention The Howling Wolf show which I AM STILL PATIENTLY WAITING ON!!! ;~) Also, the "I Came Upon A Child of God" CD which has shipped to me but I haven't gotten it yet. As for the Christmas album, I for one hope it DOESN'T happen (at least not at the expense of something else). After all, she's got "River" and "Facelift" and that's about it. "Gift of The Magi" would be great to hear, but there's no way she's going to 'resurrect' a song she never recorded in the first place. The line "Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn" doesn't make "Chinese Cafe" a Christmas song. So what would we get? I doubt that she would record songs of a highly sacred nature, and please God NOT the Hallelujah chorus! ;~) So that leaves the secular ones like "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting, etc.), Let It Snow, Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bell Rock...Maybe she could dig up some classier ones like "Lo, How a Rose ere Blooming" or something. She could do "The Little Drummer Boy" with Brian Blade, but then it wouldn't be very PC to refer to him as a Drummer BOY, would it? ;~) Plus, Christmas albums are so typical, and Joni is so atypical. I would only hope that if and when she does release it, I don't have to pay $50 for the Special Collector's Edition in a Currier & Ives tin with a painting of Joni and Santa touching tongues! Caption, 'I saw Joni kissing Santa Claus'...:~) Anyway, when it's all said and done, it'll be hard to top 2000 as far as Joni goes!!

Among the earliest covers of Joni were the covers by George Hamilton IV who was basically a C&W singer. Winnona is basically C&W but she did "Help Me" pretty much straight up without diverting much from Joni's original version. There's a great countrified version of BSN by Baillie & The Boys included in our Covers series. I recently got a 1991 interview with Joni on a CBC show called "Swingin' On A Star" where she stated that her own home town of Saskatoon didn't stock her records because it was basically a country & western town.

Anyone who knows the DC-area Metro rail system can tell you about some of the L - O - N - G escalators in the subterranean stations, most notably at the Dupont Circle and Wheaton stops. The latter is my beginning and end point each day. Last night I was ascending the escalator when "Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)" began. It was incredibly fun and interesting to ride the moving stairs while the song played in my headphones -- all the more so because the middle escaltor was being serviced by men who were yelling status to each other from bottom to top. I guess you'd have to "be there" to really appreciate it ... to my DC Joni compadres, try it sometime! It's a totally "industrial" experience! Lori in DC NP: Pat Metheny, Sueqo con Mexico Yahoo!

My Affair had me dancing around my living room, and We'll Never Pass This Way Again is playing as I type this. Have you got Kite? That's a terrific one, often mistakenly thought to be her first; in fact her debut was Desperate Character, which came out in about 1981, and included There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears he's Elvis and They Don't Know, as well as a lovely rendition of the Beach Boys' You Still Believe In Me. I don't think it's ever been reissued on CD, and the vinyl is mighty hard to get hold of. It seems so sad that some people only get the recognition of which they are worthy after their death (this was certainly the case with the stellar talent of Eva Cassidy); still, I like to think that people will continue to discover Kirsty's singular talent for songwriting, her lovely voice, and her formidable knack for glorious, multi-tracked vocal harmonies, which she invariably wrapped on the first take. If anyone on the list has never heard her (maybe apart from Fairytale of New York, which is IMHO the greatest Christmas single ever) and would like a bit of advice, do feel free to email me privately.

Whenever I'm playing TI, "TML" comes on just about that time. Now, the Basilica is this immense grey stone Romanesque structure, and is home to a rather large murder or crows, as well as a substantial colony of bats. So imagine if you will, the haunting strains of "TML" playing as huge numbers of giant crows wheel skywards cawing, while underneath them, the bats stream down from the Basilica belfries sending out their high-pitched echolocation calls. Needless to say, it puts a whole new twist on the experience! Don Rowe ===== Visit me anytime at http://www.mp3.com/donrowe Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.

Merry Christmas to all my JMDL buddies! (With apologies to Clement Moore...) 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all 'round my place I was finally unwinding from the holiday pace Gifts had been purchased and wrapped one and all With just minor bruises from trips to the mall! The parties were over, the church functions too For the next couple days I'd have nothing to do No bikes to assemble or toys to arrange And hope upon hope, no clothes to exchange When out on the lawn there arose such a hissing I sprang from my chair to see what I was missing I turned down my music and had a good look, Twas thinking it might be a burglar or crook! The Moon at the Window was bright to be sure And it caused the commotion to appear as a blur Then there was the strangest thing e'er in my 'burb, A big limousine that was parked on my curb! With a long-blond-haired rider, with cheeks oh so bony I knew in a moment it had to be Joni! She opened the door, with her crew she came out, And approaching my doorway she let out this shout "On Pansy, On Nietzsche, On Larry & Brian, On Shorter, On Isham, you guys quit your cryin'! It'll be our great joy for a Joni fan so big To give him the gift of his own private gig!" At that point in time I knew not what to think, Perhaps I'd had excess martinis to drink? But up to my doorstep, they soon started knockin' "Come in here, ya'll, and let's get to rockin'!" It wasn't much space but we soon made it do With guitar & piano & dulcimer too! Joni then stated she'd play multi-sets And then I could join her for several duets Her voice how it twinkled! You just had to hear it! And of course, twixt her lips, an American Spirit, So all through the halls did her crystal sounds ring, From Harlem in Havana to I Had A King She played all night long, I could not trust my eyes, She said she'd do one more set, just for surprise, And then with remaining time she had afforded, Played all of the songs she had never recorded! I lept to my feet and applauded with glee, To finally hear 'lost' songs like "Strawflower Me", And when she'd completed the final refrains, She said she would encore with Paprika Plains! She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work Played all 16 minutes with nary a quirk, She finished, and told me "It's not quite enough, For here in my bag is some other cool stuff!" I pondered and wondered, pray what would she bring us "Don Juan's Reckless Demo's" & "Alternate Mingus"! And I was so pleased that she gave them to me, And knew that I'd soon be creating a tree! I gave her a hug for the gifts she had brought me And thanked her for all of the lessons she'd taught me She said that her visit had been loads of fun, And she'd shoot for Ashara's in 2001! She sprang for her car, to her band gave a whistle And away they then sped like a heat-seeking missile But I heard her exclaim on this night oh so blest, I love ALL of my fans, you guys are the best!! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Another internet rumour I suppose. Does anyone know if he is actually ill? I have had Cien Anos De Soledad for years & still haven't read it. I need to go find it... Peace, Love, Joy to all! (sunny 65 degrees here in Santa Barbara but I tell you we pay a high price for this weather!) Hi Kate- Thanks very much for posting this. I love him. I loved hearing him rant about the gringos in their arrogance calling themselves americans. It is so sad that he is so ill. Cien Anos De Soledad is still close to the top of my greatest of all time. I have a book of his short stories as well that love. I was just telling Nikki about him the other day. Recently I have been reading Pablo Neruda again. I went to the library and picked up three books of his poetry. If you have not had the pleasure, high tail it on down to the PL and pick up some Neruda. Have a wonderful holiday!
