NJC NJC NJC NJC NJC NJC NJC NJC **** An Old Friend Checks In **** There were no flash pots in Cincinnati's Riverbend Music Center tonight. No four letter words. No inflatable props of two-story-tall body parts. The venerable singer-songwriter James Taylor brought his usual crew of richly gifted professionals. (Some of them: Kate Markowitz, David Lasley, Russ Kunkel, and most significantly, Arnold McCuller. On "VH1: By Request", Arnold absolutely stole the spotlight at the end of "Shower The People". Naturally, James shows no jealousy whatsoever, appearing instead to be proud to present Arnold's singing. He nodded repeatedly, as if to say, "Yeah, this is the moment in the show that belongs to Arnold.") At Riverbend, the house and lawn swayed, swung, and ultimately, rocked like a reunion of old friends. James has always seemed like a friend of the family to me. His songs of sorrow and joy have been a constant companion in my life. If my life has run the gamut from folkie idealism to bitter disappointment, to Motown driven exuberance, then so has his music. He's also about a serious social consciousness but allows us to laugh occasionally at our modern ills. James has always written with an "old soul" and while he could no longer be described as a "String Bean" as he was during the "Flying Machine" years, (1) he appears to be healthy. By skimming into the blues sometimes, splashing in humor at others, or more recently, slipping in a rich vocal interplay, he has collected always for us something new, subtly expansive. Significantly though he has never, ever has forsaken (sorry Colin) his "country gentleman" demeanor. He's a minstrel who knows that a remembered place, even if wholly invented, can allow listeners to unreel their own remembrance into the seams and glimpse, ever so fleetingly, our own experience, fulfillment, and disappointment. He allows us to feel more fully this multi-textured life. I had a great time tonight. Thanks, bud. Lamadoo P.S. (largely unstructured) (1) Source: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/music/james-taylor/ As I was walking around Riverbend, trying to secure passage at the last possible minute, my recent foul mood lifted as my old friend's words found their way back to me. These are from his "Music": "See my friend. His head's been sinking like a stone. Ya must try thinkin' like a cloud sometimes. Just leave a happy side outside sometimes."

To say that Karen had Joni's "full co-operation" is a stretch. If I recall, in her emails, Karen _bemoaned_ the fact that Joni declined to give 1st hand interviews.

A song like that does make me wonder though - what's worse? the woman pointing out what a lazy bum her man is, or the fact that she keeps loving him no matter what - now, THAT'S a doormat song! Anyone familiar with "You've Got Me On A String" by Janis Ian? Talk about a doormat song!

Yes was wonderful as usual. The set list was almost identical to this one below except they dropped whatever Corkscrew (probably a new song DUH!) is off the list. It was a beautiful time for me that started at the crack of dawn (actually just the other side of the crack) and a sleepy Victor was waiting for me at the airport. We went to his old house and played some tunes for awhile (including a few Yes numbers) and then went to a great sushi lunch where we hooked up with the lovely Bob Muller and Holley. After lunch and a few beers we had a few more tunes at Holley's and went to Victor's old place and had a cook out with his friends. During our first beer we rang up Kakki to wish her a Happy Fucking Birthday and she sounded great and seemed ready for the weekend of festivities. Then it was off to the show. We got row "B" tickets and managed to get Victor to our seats as well and we also had backstage passes which we decided not to use (in lieu of getting back to the house to play more, yes you guessed it, music). Even tho the seats were in row B wew were dead center behind the sound board. It began to rain just before show time which was somewhat of a drag, but it sort of cooled us off a bit as it was hot with no breeze. The Chastain Ampitheater is a wierd venue where you see tons of people sipping champagne from their good crystal and eating pate and cracked crab and such from their good china. The whole floor area was filled with people with picnic baskets filled with tons of goodies. (Remember when all we required was a nickle bag or some blotter?? Anyways I digress as usual) I think that this whole vibe detracts from the artists performance. The conversation level and party atmosphere was too loud and it pissed me off that people can be so rude while some of the worlds most amazing and gifted musicians are doing their thing. To top it off the volume level of the PA was way to low (probably because of the orchestra being all acoustic instruments that require condenser mics and are hard to get at an good volume level while you have soome of the loudest electric musicians on stage at the same time. Especially when you are in a recording situation, which they were). Many people were hollaring for the guy to turn it up which he did toward the very end, but still it was no where near the volume that I have heard these guys play at for 20+ shows that I have seen. It was the first time in Yes concert history that Chris Squire's bass didin't paralyze me at some point in the show. All in all the bands performance was 90-95%. It must be really hard to play Ritual from Tales of Topographic Oceans **ONE OF MY FAVES** and The Gates of Delirium from Relayer (HI PAT) at such a low volume and in sync with 50+ other musicians all playing acoustic instruments. I was hoping they would play some stuff that has not been played on tour for a long time and more new material from the last few albums which has been sorely missing from their last few tours. If I never hear Roundabout, All Good People again live it would be cool with me. I must have 100 different versions of the song already. Alan White played keyboards (which I knew he did) for the first time live that I have seen. It was on the new tune called "In The Presence Of" which I liked alot, but would have been alot better if it were LOUDER. The arrangements were really interesting and I can't wait to hear the recordings if they come out. I was not able to purchase the new EP that they are selling for $10 a pop as they sold out before the show ever started. (If someone else goes to see them I would love to get a copy of this CD and would be happy to send $'s and whatever other bribes necessary to return the favour) After the show as I said we skipped hobnobbing with the band and went back to Holley's place and jammed until late. Holley sang some Joni tunes with me and her two lovely daughters (Julie and Laura) also sat in and sang with us on some Dave Matthews, Train, Tonic, etc. Her youngest daughter treated us to her version of Landslide which she sang so sweetly while we all sang along on the choruses. It was hard to say good night to them but after being up for about 19 hours I was close to toast. Bob managed to catch a nap " a la Victor" although in an easy chair as opposed to sprawled out on the floor with instrument in hand and we took pics which will be forthcoming. This morning when I woke up I threw my back out and have been in severe pain ever since. I have eaten so many pain killers and muscle relaxers since this morning I am not to sure of alot of things, so please excuse any misspellings, or other inconsistancies. Being pushed in a wheel chair thru Atlanta airport and New Orleans airport is a totally different experience I suggest you try. I must have been quite a site with Parker Concert Fly and VG-8 bag piled on top of me. Brian Stoltz (Funky Meters) called me on the phone on my way to the airport (where he was) to tell me he was changing planes with Art Neville (on the way home from a Meters gig) and saw the entire Yes band with the tour manager (who got me my tickets thanks very much Paul) waiting for their plane to Norfolk. He said he had a lengthy conversation with Jon Anderson about past performances in New Orleans at the old Warehouse and Municipal Auditorium. Brian and I were suppose to do this concert together till he had a gig come up (I hate it when that happens) Well that's about it. I would like to thank my wonderful hosts Victor and Holley for everything and Bob for the great company (and #21). It's stuff like this that really reminds me of how lucky I am to be a part of the best internet community on the web. It's time like these that make life SO much sweeter. I can't wait to see you call in Mass.

That said, it looks like you're a busy group here. Happy Birthday to fellow Leos! I'm one, too. Mine just passed on the 16th (yes, Elvis died on my birthday - how square...). A couple of things to note... Bob, I think you were referring to GARY Usher. I just love "My Funny Valentine". My favourite versions are by Nico (yes, The Frozen One) and by Elvis Costello (yes, he is another favourite of mine ... tho I rarely listen to his words, oddly enough. I only trust a few with lyrics and that would fall on Joni, of course, and Laura Nyro). Twinkle ... didn't The Smiths record one of her songs ... "Golden Lights"? I don't have 'Fearless', but I have Tim Curry's 'Read My Lips' lp with his cover of "All I Want" on it. He also covers a Rough Trade song on it and does "Anyone Who Had a Heart", which Dusty had a go at, so Wally B. woulda dug this album a lot, I'm sure, Bless him. Being a Covers freak, myself, my curiosity is certainly piqued over this "Bob Muller's Joni Covers" collection. Can anybody fill me in? Finally, my favourite Joni cover is 'Hejira', too. What's this about the penis covers, tho? I kinda figured out the 'Mingus' one, but the others??? Any clues? - -denKnee (the K is silent) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 22:23:26 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Cultural highpoint njc - --- kerry wrote: > I recently saw a commercial for levi's low rider > jeans that shows women's > belly buttons singing Diana Ross's, "I'm Coming Out" > (through computer > animation, I'm sure).

I am a Joniholic too besides being Joni-obsessive-compulsive. Happy belated birthday!. I suggest you contact the Muller himself, you will find him THE most accomodating list member on earth. All I can say is you better have a great trade list and/or be able to afford a case of blanks. He has an amazing collection (which I am still trying to catch up with). The hejira thing is cleverly disguised as a hand in pocket (so to speak). Enjoy the music and this great arena.

Oh my, I hope for a quick cure Michael - but it sounds like the fun was worth it a bit! I prescribe a very chilled gin martini with extra olive juice at least twice a day. It was so great to hear from you, Victor and Bob yesterday - thanks so much for calling! And thanks to everyone for the very sweet birthday wishes - it was a great one. Happy birthday to Pat McFad and Amy, too (Amy you are WAY too quiet around here ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 23:00:23 -0400 From: "Blair Fraipont" Subject: Impromptu Joni Cover Yesterday in Rehoboth Beach on Baltimore Avenue, this very good Jazz Guitarist performed 7-10pm. He did a couple Louis Jordan Numbers, a good old Satchmo cover and some originals. On his break he came into the cafe where I worked and I mentioned that he should do some Mingus. He mentioned that he once did Goodbye Porkpie Hat and that Joni Mitchell.... That is where I interrupted and said, YES! Her lyrics added so much to that song, I am a big fan. Well he and his wife were at the same show in 1998 at The university of Maryland! We talked a bit and then he said that he still does a cover of The Jungle Line. I asked him if he could perform it and he said he definitely would. Obviously, it was quite different from the Joni Version, but his vocals brought out the magnitude and color of the lyrics that Joni had on HOSL. I was so pleased that i got to hear a Great joni cover and one of my favorite songs. Sorry, Bob I didnt have a tape recorder to have it included in Covers Volume 23..but who knows, it may surface.

At Kate's fabulous house concert party that I was so lucky to attend last year, Doug, Jeff Pevar and also Anastastia & John Gonzales all played solo and with Kate. It was one of the most incredible nights of music I have ever experienced. I picked up all their CDs that night and I'm glad to hear you have found Doug's. You should check out A&J, too. Croz loves them and they have opened for CPR at various shows the past few years.. And now this really gave me a big smile: > Doug Ingoldsby would also like to thank: > >Harold Payne: for being an incredible songwriter and inspiration. Harold is one of my dearest friends in this world and it has been a long tradition for my friends and I to spend my birthday night wherever he is performing. Last night was no different and in addition to playing my favorite originals, he also always plays all my fave Van, Stevie Wonder, Clapton, Buffalo Springfield and Bobby Caldwell, too, and embarrasses me with an original birthday song each year ;-) In another life long ago when I was a singer-songwriter he gave me my first performing break at Tony's, a little place by the beach. He is the greatest friend to musicians and songwriters I have ever known. And I loved telling him last night that he'd finally made mention on the Joni list ;-D Kakki NP: Harold Payne with Gravity - Share the Dream ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 20:23:48 -0700 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: Best of the 80s? njc Philip, I feel sooo embarrassed and apologize for being so knee jerk with you and Marcel!
