Like the fab four said, "Gimme 'Mo, gimme 'Mo, Gimme 'Mo"! ;~) Also, Leslie Ritter & Scott Petito from Carmel NY have a new CD coming up titled "Circles In Sand", that highlights what they call 'Woodstock songs'. So, obviously, they do a cover of "Woodstock". The CD hits the streets June 15, and they are already out touring NY and New England to support it. They sound like they're really great, here's their gig agenda: http://www.hudsonvalleyrecords.com/scotles/gigs.html Bob NP: Liz Phair, "Johnny Sunshine" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 10:00:13 -0400 From: Anne Sandstrom Subject: Re: A Sweet Joni Story THUD!!! That's me falling on the floor after reading this story! Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing story! I also take this as a really good omen for you surgery Rick. Still, I'll be thinking of you. lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 10:04:29 -0400 From: Anne Sandstrom Subject: John Hartford (njc) I used to live for Sunday nights. Specifically, for the moment when John Hartford would stand up in the front row of the audience and begin playing the banjo on "Gentle on My Mind." I just thought he was the coolest thing! A few years later, I was accompanying a friend on stage. My sister said that something about my demeanor reminded her of John Hartford. I still think that was the greatest complement. Rest in sweet peace, John Hartford. lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 09:35:25 -0500 From: "Michael Paz" Subject: VG-8's Don't tell me we are gonna start this whole VG-8 thing again. That damn thing saved my life and also kept Joni in our lives at a time when she was gonna throw ion the towel. I would love to hear LCL live though. Hey are you going to JoniFest Topsfield?? I think you ought to play a VG-8! Take care! Michael Sue wrote: >I think there is also a version somewhere of her playing LCL at the >most gutsy performances Joni has ever given in my opinion.

I'm there most Thursday and Friday nights playing solo (including this week, 6/7 & 8), and once in awhile on a Saturday night in duo with bass. The Little Bit O' Joni Content? I will be playing tunes from my album "Songs of My Youth, Vol. 1" including some Joni, Dylan, Beatles, and Leonard Cohen. In addition to which, repertoire from the "Great American Songbook" (Gershwin, Berlin, Rodgers, Porter, Carmichael, etc.). Also, "modern" jazz repertoire (Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett, Ralph Towner, etc). And, of course, a healthy sampling of my own compositions. If you're in the area, please c'mon down, have a bite, a sip, and dig a gig, won't you? Later, Fred ============================== FRED SIMON DUO Fred Simon - piano * Rob Amster - bass Saturday, June 9, 2001 * 7:30 - 11:30 p.m. LEXI'S * 1330 W.

(njc) I have been reading a collection of DP's short stories, poems, etc., over the past few days, so I decided to check out what's on the Internet about her. As a veteran of one Jonifest, I can't say I was too surprised to find a group in NYC that gets together for Parkerfests. Here's a link to their last get-together: http://www.dorothyparkernyc.com/parkerfest/2000/index.htm As Dotty herself might have said: You can be sure that you've made it And know that you're among the best When some think it appropriate To throw you your own little fest! --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2001 00:21:12 -0400 From: "Nikki Johnson" Subject: RE: Cute Stevie quote about Joni NJC Oh yes Storms is one of my favs. My friends always say it suits me too..."Never have I been a blue calm sea, I've always been a storm."
