No doubt, I would have been as tongue-tied as you, and still loved every moment of being close. How do you express to someone like her what a splash of warmth she is in the every day?

(NJC) So new folks are joining every day. I see that we have another Sue. By my reckoning there are more Sues, Susans or Suzes than any other name. Maybe I'm just more aware of this than others... We have only one Kakki, one Paz, many Patricks (lower case Patrick and New York Patrick) Patricias, Jacks and Jackys... Only one MG but Brians and Bryans.....Definately a singular Ashara but how many Steves? Colin stands out and also Marcel. Wally is a beautiful name and so is Les. There is only one Hell yet no Heaven! How many Phillips, Marks and Roses? Nobody knowses! Ameila and Kelly and Terry, oh my! Terry who thought Yael was male and Yael who thought Terry was male (both are NOT!) There are Larrys, Garys, Kerrys, Marys, and Jerrys but is Larry really Don? Nikki and Vicki and RickiLee too, is it Mark (yes) or Travis (maybe)? Heather and Simon and Rusty and Vince. Claudia, Tim, Jamie, Martin and Azeem, some really cool names that we all love to see.

IMHO, there's no such thing as high fidelity in a steel box (a car). Cars have horrible resonances that change from seat to seat. (Bose has addressed this in characteristic Bose fashion- throw an equalizer at it. NOT!) You may be able to listen to music in there but you'll never get high fidelity in there. Think of a car stereo as a ridiculously overpriced boombox for a moment, eh? I heard the fancy multi-speaker system built into a mid-line Lexus for a weekend. It wasn't bad for a boombox. I mean, it wasn't peaky or anything but it didn't image. It didn't have detail. I didn't believe that Margo Timmins was hovering in an imaginary church, in an illusionary space beyond the dashboard. When I got home, it sure didn't make me want to sit in the car and listen to music. I think, no, I *know* you could do so much better in your living room with the same $1000 or whatever your budget is. If you feel like being pummeled, you could go to the rec.audio.car newsgroup and ask for advice from the hobbyists but be forewarned: IMO, there is no consensus on anything over there. It's a bunch of shadetree mechanics who "like" their brands because it's what *they* bought. I read an article in a car audio magazine about a guy who took apart a beautiful, carefully designed, very, very expensive pair of British B&W 801s (may have been 805s). He removed the woofer from the cross-braced, heavy-as-all-sin inch-thick-at-least wood composite enclosure and slid it into a custom made box in a wheel well made of..... (wait for it.........) sheet metal. Mike, woofers aren't made to work in sheet metal boxes. It just doesn't work or we would all have sheet metal boxes in our living rooms. The physics of it is all wrong. They need heavy, stiff enclosures built out of medium density fiberboard (MDF) and sheet metal "ain't" that. On top of all else, there's no way to *preview* what you'll hear from those speakers unless you know someone with the same car with the same speakers. (I know. I bought speakers based on their sound in an open air display in a store. Wrong!) Consider how many 10 year old home stereos you've seen- probably a lot. Now, how many 10 year old *car* stereos have you seen? The installation is not fun to do yourself and it becomes a major part of the cost. Will your car insurance agent cover the cost of the installation and new stereo as if it was part of the car in the event of a breakin? A collision? (Some do, some don't. Do you want to raise your insurance rates just to cover the investment that would have been better spent in your living room?) Most people don't move their car stereo into a newer car. If it sounds tempting, consider that you'll have costs not only to un-install from the old and re-install in the new car, but how are you gonna sell a car with gaping, raw holes in the dashboard and in the doors? So, I recommend that you *don't* do this Mike. But if you must, for God's sake don't borrow money to do it and don't spend more than you can be comfortable with throwing away. Once bitten, twice shy, Lama ps- please try to remember the njc label so the njc folks will let us share the bandwidth. :) Understand, I'm not scolding okay? I'm saying that we have a nice thing here and I don't want to mess it up. :) PPSS- If you still want to spend some money, consider leaving the head unit alone and just add lots of damping to the doors and upgrade the speakers with a pair of coax. Not separates as the price goes up and you'll never hear the improvement at 65mph, from a sheet metal enclosure, in a peaky, steel and glass box.

Yes they were, along with lots of good munchies. I walked in the door & met Phyliss for the first time. Later in the evening Coyote Rick & his friend arrived so I got to meet him just before we left. And there were two other friends of Kakki's there too whose names I forget. Paz had his VG8 & played lots of cool songs, sounding just like Joni played them on guitar. Nikki & Alison did some songs with Alison's beautiful voice (she could hit those Joni high notes!)& Nikki's great guitar playing. When Nikki played the VG8 it was like she had done it before but it was her first time. Paz makes it look so easy but it isn't. I tried it out & all I can say is next time I do it in public, I will practice a little first. It is weird without the percussiveness of the acoustic guitar that I am so used to. Steve & Michelle danced to a song, then Steve played some songs on the dulcimer! Julius & I sang together- what great fun! Phyliss has a great ear & voice & was singing some back up parts to one of the songs. I am forgetting specific songs cuz I was burnt toast from not too much sleep & lots of namming & jammin & music & fun & shmoozing... Phyliss told me of her incredible Joni encounter in LA & how Joni was so sweet to her & hugged her as she babbled on! It brought tears to my eyes. It sounds as if I missed Clark again! The elusive Clark! We had to get back home at a decent hour so couldn't stay & party on later with everyone... It was a lot of fun meeting some list names in person. And several of whom it turns out had corresponded back & forth a bit in private on subjects. Very cool. And Alison who played half of my cd on the air back when she lived in SLC!!!!! Oh, one more cool little thing...on the way back to our car after the show on Sat afternoon, taking the shuttle bus with lots of other show goers--we were sitting a row behind & on the other side of the aise from an older, maybe in his 70's, man & a young guy who was with him. They were talking to someone two rows in front of us who I couldn't see. Anyway, they were talking about the PBS Jazz special. They were talking about Mingus & the young guy said he (the older man) played with Mingus. Then he said, well he's played with all those guys on the jazz special. We were really evesdropping now. The older man's name was Jack & he was a drummer. They talked about Duke Ellington & the younger guy said something about comparing Duke to someone & Jack chided him saying NO one was like Duke. The guy they were talking to asked him if he watched any of the show. He said no, he was too tired to stay up & watch. Any Jazzophiles know who this man Jack the drummer might be? He was really a sweet & funny guy. We tried to see if he had a name badge on from the show but no luck! OH, and Russ! Thank you for my lovely Joni t shirt!

It seems that for >an artist to please their fans (and critics) they have to go through a >personal hell. Ooh, I don't know - I love Under the Pink! The opus "Yes Anastasia" is one of my top three Tori songs (along with Mary [b-side] and Little Earthquakes)! There are a few losses on that album, true, like "Wrong Band" but overall I think it is a good record... and thematically very solid - dealing with women's relationships with other women (thus... under the pink). I would agree though, that her most recent effort To Venus and Back, which isn't fueled by tragedy, doesn't seem like it is fueled by anything much. Rumors are starting that she may be releasing a new album this fall - but they are only rumors now - who knows? She just had a baby last year so it would be a "happy" album, I imagine. As far as Emily's Aimee Mann experience goes - I WANT TO SEE AIMEE MANN! She needs to come out to Ann Arbor, MI. Or play LA sometime between Feb 23-March 4 (which is when I'll be there!). Last year I was in LA around the same time period, and it *just* *happened* to be in the middle of the 2 weeks when Aimee/Michael were touring instead of playing in an LA club every Tuesday. Sucks to be me, right? Back to Joni (I've been OD'ing on See You Sometime. Does anyone else just love this song?

We have talked this through and feel it is time. We know that this is an amazing, incredible, loving and supportive community which is why we decided to come forward. This is very difficult to talk about and I don't exactly know how to do this so I will start from the beginning. Some of you know already, so please bear with us. We are writing to tell you that we are facing some tough times now and in the near future because of Brian's health. A couple of weeks ago, due to some telling symptoms, Brian decided to see a cardiologist for a check up. He had a stress test done and the very next morning, the doctor called with the results. Brian has a blockage in his descending coronary artery and consequently, there is a marked lack of blood flow to the front of his heart. Brian is going to have a diagnostic cardiac cath done so that they can determine how extensive the problem is and based on the results of that, they will decide what to do about it. Depending on the outcome, there are a few choices. I'd rather not get into those details just now. It is very upsetting to even talk about it. This has been a very stressful and scary time for us both. While we continue to grow even closer in our love for one another, we realize that we cannot do this one alone. We come to you this evening to ask for your support, prayers, thoughts, candle lighting...whatever it is that you do in times of need. Please keep Brian in your prayers so that he can remain calm, optimistic and filled with courage. Please ask for his healing and quick recovery. I need to ask for support for myself so that I can be strong for him. I will be with him for the whole procedure and whatever else they decide to do.
