In the new Advocate there is a story about the final Wigstock coming up (my Rufus will be performing for it, also.) "... and Obie-winning, actor-singer John Kelly performing his traditional (and very moving) closing number, Wigstock, which is lofted from Joni Mitchell's "woodstock." "I may shed a tear," Kelly admits.

A truly wonderful experience being steeped in everything Joni with like minded Pilgrims. The music, company, food, music, people and music has been uplifting. If you haven't attended a fest...try to make it to one. You will be changed. Back to San Francisco and a new job tomorrow.

You have been warned.) I was the late arrival and the one to leave early. I missed the Friday festivities and some of Saturday as well. First thing that happened was, I got to the airport late and was standing in the wrong queue - almost ended up on a flight to Tokyo, but that an airport worker must have noticed I kind of *stood out* from everyone else, as I was the only non-Japanese person in the queue (I didn't even notice), and asked me if I was in the group going back to Tokyo. Well, much as I would love to visit Tokyo, it would have to wait until later. Stood next in another queue, a very long one, thinking, if this thing doesn't hurry up, I'm going to miss my plane. Panic attack starts to set in. A woman from the airport comes along asking if anyone in the lineup is for the 8:45 flight to wherever. I pipe up saying, I'm on the 8:25 to Boston. She shrieks, "What?" and pulls me out of the line, gets on her cell phone calling here and there and walks (more like runs) me through the crowd, where I have to check the guitar, then race after her (carrying all my stuff), rushes me through Customs where the US customs guy asks me a lot of strange questions, such as, "Are you going to the US for business or personal reasons?" and I say, "Personal, I'm going to visit friends down near Boston." He sees in my hand a binder I had made up of maps and my itinerary and says, "That looks like business." and he takes it and starts looking through it and asking me, "What is this?" and I say, "These are the maps and information I printed out so I'd know how to get here and there." He flips to the music I had at the back and asks me what that's all about and I tell him, "It's a music festival of sorts. Everyone gets together and plays and sings and performs". He seems to think this is pretty strange, so he asks me, "Are you getting paid for this?" and I answer very plainly, "No," when what I really want to say is, "Buddy, if you heard me sing and play, you certainly wouldn't be asking me that one!" But you can't argue or joke with customs and immigration types and besides, panic mode was setting in and I was trying just to breathe normally. He finally lets me through, and then I have to dash down the ramp, up into the plane and to my seat. Despite all this, there are other people who calmly walk onto the plane AFTER me. However, I guess the thing I missed is, you're supposed to be at the airport TWO hours early, not one, and these people had probably checked in, then gone off for a drink or breakfast or something. About two minutes after I get my gear stowed under the seat (I never use the overhead things if I can help it), the pilot comes on and announces that he has some bad news for us and maybe the day isn't starting off so well - we have mechanical problems that create a "No-go" situation, therefore we have to get OFF the plane and they're going to find us another one. a) why they couldn't have figured this out sooner, is beyond me (OK, maybe they were trying to fix it all along, but discovered it was going to take longer than first anticipated) and b) All this running was for naught (although I DO appreciate the Air Canada rep's valiant work to get me on the plane and wish I had gotten her name, so I could thank her and let her boss know). So, we're off the plane, sitting around in the airport lounge. About half-an-hour later comes an announcement saying there was a flight coming in soon from Philadelphia, which they would groom and cater and put us on. The flight from Philly is a bit late and the grooming and so on takes a bit longer than anticipated, I suppose, so the flight I should have gotten on leaves at 10:00 a.m. rather than 8:25, but the flight itself is smooth and great, and we land at Logan at 11:30 or so. All through the flight, lines from Joni and other songs, travel-related, pop into my head, among them: (Shouldn't have got on) This flight tonight (this morning). I'm travelling in some vehicle... I took a plane to a taxi, then a taxi to a plane... Up there's a heaven, down there's a town... Miles from my home (Cowboy Junkies, not Joni) When I land, my guitar is one of the first things off the baggage carousel (she takes her baggage off the carousel), and I think, "This is a good sign," then I ask the info guy how I get to the rental car places. There are these shuttle buses that each of the rental car places have that come in regularly and you just hop on the one of your choice (whichever company you've booked with), and they drive you to a place a ways off from the airport. (She takes a taxi (shuttle) to the town (rent-a-car place). So I collect my car and head off for Danvers, home of the Days Inn. I find Danvers easily and as I'm driving, I spot every single friggin' hotel/motel that Ashara had included in her list, but the Days Inn? Just where the heck is that??? I think I ended up in Salem, so I stopped at a convenience store where I asked the guy at the cash if he knew how to get to the Days Inn on Endicott Street. There was a woman with a little kid just coming up to the cash, and she told me how to get there. All I had to do was go straight along here, turn right, drive a mile or so, turn left, then go straight until I came to Petco, then take a sharp left there, followed by a right and voila. (Let me tell you here that the people of Boston and New England that I met are the friendliest, most helpful people I think I've ever met, unless I'm just plain lucky or maybe looked so confused that they took pity on me. And remember now about Petco because it comes up later in the story.) I followed her EXCELLENT directions and landed at my hotel. By this time, it was probably around 1:30 or so. I checked into the motel, got my gear stowed, washed my face, drank a LOT of water, and set off for Newburyport. Newburyport and the Belleville Church were both very easy to find (thanks to Ashara's excellent directions and the fact that the church is on a main drag, and as soon as I came towards it and saw all the cars parked around it and the people who were coming in and out, I thought, "these couldn't be anything but jmdlers" - you can just tell. I'm going to end this one here, because it's getting kind of long... To be continued...

The very SECOND (I swear!) I walk in the door, who should come up and greet me by name but the talented and beautiful Mr. Bob Muller from SC. (How the hell does he know who I am, I wonder, he's never met me! Oh yeah, we had to send in pictures when we registered for the fest but even so...) Person after person comes up and introduces themself to me and most of them (again) know who I am. Funny thing is, I know who some of them are. OK, I've seen pictures of them before, so I have an advantage there, but still... People are telling me they were worrying about me (imagine that!) because I was late. Someone is singing up on stage and I'm sorry, but I didn't catch the name, but after that, talented person after talented person gets up there and sings, plays guitar or keyboards, or congas, or mandolin, or bass, or, well you name it. I'm really afraid I'm going to leave someone out - everyone was just SO good. If I don't mention you, or I mention what you sang, but I can't remember your name, I am SO sorry, but I'd like to quote Bob Muller here, or paraphrase him, for something he said so well, "Just when you think, "Wow - that's the best so far!" someone else comes along, and again you think, "THAT'S the best so far!" Just a few mentions... Leslie Mixon's version (and her husband Steve's accompaniment) on "The Dawntreader". Leslie's (and friends') Delta-blues version of "Big Yellow Taxi" really smoked! I completely forgot how done-too-often that song is, because you made it new again! Ashara's sweet, sweet song dedicated to her husband. Yael (That's Yah-El, people, not Yale like the university or the lock), who *exuded confidence") in her debut performance. ;) The incredibly beautiful voices of Claudia, Alison, Anne and (I can't remember your names - Alison and one of you sang Sandy Denny's "The Sea"!) Why aren't you people FAMOUS by now? The bluesy voice of our list's own Kate Bennett - Kate, I never got a chance to talk to you but, if I did, I have your CD and, good as it is, hearing you live was so much better! You put me in mind of someone like Maria Muldaur or Bonnie Raitt (I hope you like those two). And your wonderful husband, Jeff (?) who looks and sounds kind of like Kenny Rogers (but better). Bob Muller - not only are you handsome and charming and funny, you can sing! And thank you for singing, one of my FAVOURITE Joni songs, "Blue Hotel Room", boom boom pachyderm and all - I agree with you, this one needs to be sung more often. and who can forget the lovely and talented birthday fairy himself, Mr. Wally K (what a sweetie!) with his own unique brand of singing, and, like so many talented jmdlers, with a couple of hiw own originals thrown in - Wally, I loved the one with the lion - it reminded me of Jobim's "Waters of March." Les from England - someone has already said, when you sang the sad Joni songs, "Not to blame" and "Magdalene Laundries", in your quiet and compelling way, you could (literally) have heard a pin drop - everyone was so focussed on listening to you..(Thanks also for your help in getting us to Ashara's later - we never would have made it without you!) If I've left anyone out (I should have taken notes, but that's so anal!), I apologize - maybe it will come back to me later - but I was just so overwhelmed by the extraordinary talent at this place. I just want to mention the zealous Monsieur L'Hommedieu and his picture-taking - I don't think this guy stopped to take a break ONCE during the whole thing. But, for God's sake, what's up with the ladder-climbing? Even watching someone go up a ladder (past the second step anyway) scares the daylights out of me). Going to end here, in case I run out of steam (probably not), but to give people a bit of a break, and to keep the post long-but-not-too-long... More to come....

This part will cover some of the other stuff. Like food. And people. Paz, the shrimps... God, the shrimps! The only shrimps I've ever eaten were the frozen ones. I like those, but, after eating those barbecued tender morsels (hmm, tastes kind of like chicken - doesn't everything?), I'm not sure if I can settle for the frozen shrimp ring anymore. I have been totally spoiled. There is no such thing as TOO MUCH shrimp. Speaking of Paz, I don't think I even mentioned in my previous (music) post Miguelito's marvellous singing and instrumental (keyboards and guitars). This guy can do EVERYTHING! And, not only Joni, but so many of my other favourites - Sarah MacLachlan, Dave Matthews, Jonatha Brooke - and his guitar-playing sounds JUST LIKE the originals (how he do that?) And now, coming back to me, is Willie the Shake's soulful, bluesy guitar and voice. And Marcel! I forgot Marcel - who could forget Marcel? Your version of "I think I understand" is very close to the version I hear *in my head* but which I have been unable to reproduce myself. John van Tiel - thank you for saving some chocolates and cheese for me - they really DO go together, and not just because they both start with "ch". Ashara, why do I have this weird feeling I've met you before? When I met you, it felt like I already knew you somehow, and it's not just because I've seen pictures of you. I've been driving myself crazy since, wondering if you look like someone I know, but I had the strangest feeling of deja vu when I met you. I had a bit of that with some of you whose pictures I had also seen, so I knew when I saw you immediately who you were - some of you, not all of you - but with Ashara, it was a really strong feeling of "Don't I know you?" Not something I've experienced very often in my life. Rose from Joisey, thanks for the hugs! Jimmy from Fla, you really do have a beautiful smile and thanks too for the hugs and for being with me on stage when we *tried* to assist in the singing of "Song for Sharon" (if only some of us could remember the words, or read the small print on the lyrics page - but Jimmy did wonderful "Doo doo doos" that soared above the crowd. So, when the singing had ended, and the cleaning-up was done, we all packed up to hit the road for Ashara's. My trunk laden with a bag of garbage (we even took the garbage with us, folks), Les from England in the front seat, Kerry and Steve in the back, we attempted to locate Ashara's place. Man, was it dark! This is rural New England, people. You can actually see stars in the sky! And the moon was full but still, it was DARK. And none of us knowing where we're going... Several wrong turns and turnarounds and roundabouts later (the Massechusetts road system seems really strange to me - you can never just go from point A to point B!), we finally ended up chez Ashara. Again, I want to thank Les for his navigation skills. Without you, I wonder where we might have ended up? Part 4, "The House", coming up sometime soon... Get your free @yahoo.ca address at http://mail.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2001 15:17:50 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: The fest, part 4 - The House - yeah, it's long - and after that, How we got Lost We arrive at Ashara's and find the party hasn't ended. It has only just begun. People playing piano and singing. People playing the guitar and singing. People sitting there talking, or lying there not talking... Jim Lama on the congas (and I thought he was just kidding about that!) Steve Polifka, Michael Paz, Russ (or is it Les? Shame on me for mixing this up, because you are SO DAMN good!) from SF on the piano. A bunch of us standing around the piano singing (for some of us (points to self), maybe just "attempted" singing - is it a crime in Massechusetts? Is there a "state law" against "attempted singing"?) Me, realizing I've brought my guitar but my case is locked and I left the friggin' key back at the hotel, and not wanting to ask to borrow anyone's because I feel so inadequate hearing all the talented voices and instrument-playing around me. I managed to bring my guitar from Toronto to Boston and back, and never played it once, never even opened it. Yeesh! This party ain't never going to end, people. I'm not used to staying up much past 11 and here it is 3:00 a.m. or so and it looks like it's just starting. But some of us old people can't take a lot of excitement, and so, it's time to go. Back to the hotel. In the dark. Three of us, Kerry and Steve and I, are going back to the Daze Inn. Jimmy needs a ride back to the Sheraton (well, lah-di-dah - I was gonna stay there too, but it was all booked up when I tried to make my rezzie!). We have very little trouble, relatively speaking, finding it back to the Sheraton. It stands out like a ruby in a black man's ear. So much so, that we pass it several times, but can't figure out (until we've passed the exit, then needed to find one of those "roundabout" thingies to get turned around again) just how to get into it. We finally make it though and Kerry and Steve and I realize there is NO WAY any of us can figure out how to get back to the Days from there. All I know is (and I'm gonna put this in caps) IF WE CAN FIND OUR WAY TO PETCO, THEN WE'RE PRACTICALLY THERE. So, Jimmy decides to ask the desk guy or the concierge or security guard, WHATEVAH, for directions. He disappears into the maw of the Sheraton Ferncroft. Minutes go by and Jimmy ain't coming back. Kerry decides to go looking for him. Kerry, too, disappears, and Steve and I wondering if they've been swallowed up by the Twilight Zone... Finally, they come back - there's not one person around the lah-di-dah hotel - not even a security guard! - that we can ask for directions. So, Jimmy takes out his cellphone and calls the Days Inn - guess what? there's someone awake there, who gives us directions. Well, I either heard them wrong, or they were given wrong, because we got the first part of it (apparently) OK, but ended up lost again, driving back and forth along god-knows-where. I keep muttering about the importance of finding Petco. We pull into a donut shop. It's 4 in the morning. Steve asks a guy in the parking lot if he knows how to get to the Days Inn. he gives us directions that sound kind of OK, so we set off again. Again, we get lost. Something missing from the directions, perhaps? We pull into some kind of an all-night-something or other. The guy there doesn't know but he says there's a gas station just up the road and someone there will be sure to know. We drive up the road to the gas station. Steve goes in to look for directions. Comes out laughing his head off. "You're not going to believe THIS!" he says. "What?" Kerry and I ask. "The guy says, just to drive straight ahead this way through 4 or 5 traffic lights, til we come to the PETCO, then turn left, then right." Yeah, right. Let me tell you something about Danvers. It doesn't SEEM to be a big place. It appears to be downright rural, but there are obviously lots of people who live there, and lots of them must have pets. As you head towards the Days Inn, you pass "Petsmart" on the right; then a block or so down the road, to the left, is "Petco". They both sell pet food and pet things, and they are both humungous barnlike structures. Just one of the things I noticed about Danvers... Well, we made it back to our hotel. We had left Ashara's at 3:30. We got back to the hotel at 4:30 - what should have been maybe a 15-20 minute ride had taken an hour of driving back and forth and we were quite sure we had entered the twilight zone. I was too wired to sleep, so I read for a while, then turned off my light at 5:15 a.m. Why bother going to sleep at all? I wake up at 7:00 or 7:30 and just KNOW I'm not going to be able to go back to sleep. I also know I have to be checked out of the hotel by 10:00 a.m and sleep-deprivation combined with a tendency to anxiety force me out of bed. I take a shower just to wake up. I go down to the "lobby" of the Days for the "free" breakfast, which consists of Tang (or a Tang-like orange-juice substitute of some kind), coffee (but no real milk or cream, just that powdered stuff!) and a choice of English muffins, or donuts, or other high-fat stuff. I decide the English muffin is the best bet. The only thing they have to put on the EM is margarine (in a squeeze bottle! How weird and gross! I don't think we have that in Canada - if we do, I don't even want to hear about it!) or grape jelly (ewww!) So I toast it and squeeze a little bit of the margarine-like substance on it, feeling a bit queazy, wondering about cholesterol and cancer and so on - squeezable margarine just ain't natural, Martha! I then go back to my hotel room and putter around a bit. Put all my junk in the car. Twiddle my thumbs. Think about going for a walk to clear my head. Decide to forget about it, because I'd likely get lost! Decide to call Kerry and Steve to see if they're up yet. Well, they weren't, but I woke them up - Kerry at least. Like normal people, they want more sleep, so they tell me they'll catch a ride with someone else whenever they get up (they're staying an extra night, so checking out by 10 a.m. isn't an issue with them, and anyway, now it's only 8 or 8:30 or so.) So, I check out, get on the road, drive to Ashara's to see if anyone's awake. It's pretty obvious no one is - not a creature is stirring, not even the dog. So, I go out and sit in the car for a while, wondering if there's some place I should go and hang out for awhile. Wonder if anything in Salem is open - maybe I can go see the witch museum? Buy something for my kids? Just then, I see someone come out of the house - I don't remember your name, but you're from Texas, and you tell me, sure enough, everyone is dead to the world. I figure, maybe I'll just head back to Boston, see some sights there, then just head back to the airport, since I wouldn't have time to go to Atty May's anyway... I set out on the road, but partway to Boston think, "Nah, I wanna go back." This time, I figure out quite easily how to turn around (legally) and head back to Ashara's. Still no one up. So, OK, I'll check out the town of Topsfield, so I'll go left, instead of right. I follow the road down into a pretty little town. I'm sure there is another "state law" that states that EVERYTHING in New England MUST be quaint and pretty. There's a pretty white church in town, and people just coming out from Sunday mass or service, or whatever. I drive a bit further and spy a little shopping mall - there's a coffee place in it, and by golly, it's open! I go in and order a coffee and a bagel. I ask the guy at the counter what time it is, and he looks at a clock that's right behind me (which I hadn't noticed before) and he says, "It's a quarter of ten". Lucky for me I now know where the clock is because I've heard people (Americans anyway) say this before, but I've never understood whether a "quarter of" was supposed to mean a "quarter to" or a "quarter after". I take my sweet time drinking the coffee, and eating the bagel, with peanut butter on it, because I am still wired and shaking like a leaf (I didn't drink anything but water the night before, so it wasn't a hangover, but I do have anxiety problems and not getting enough sleep didn't help.) I need to calm myself down and get my blood sugar to do something close to normal before I can think of what to do next. After farting around there for as long as I could drag it out, listening to the wonderful New England accent of people yakkin' all around me, I get back into the car, and - yet again! - head back to Ashara's. By now it's probably about 10:30 or 11:00 but still, there are no signs of life, and I think, "By the time these people get up, it's going to be time for me to leave anyway", so I decide maybe if I go right back to Boston, I can catch an earlier flight... Which I did. Got back to the rental car place, no problem - they provided directions (good ones) for how to get back and then I caught the shuttle back to Logan - they drop you off right at the doors for your particular airline. It's only about 11:30 a.m. now but I'm in luck - can get an earlier flight, but it's not until 3:30 p.m. So I hang out in the airport lounge for a LOOOOONNNNG time, find a place to buy some Boston souvenirs for the kids (stuffed lobsters - really cute! and some saltwater taffy and chocolates). There's a great view from the airport lounge - big pictures windows, and you can see planes landing and taking off and - best of all! - there's a rocking chair, along with the usual airport seats. A front porch rocker, very New England style, so I curl up there, strains of "Sisotowbell Lane" going through my head, glad I brought my CD player and lots of CDS to listen to. This flight took off on time and made it to Toronto ten minutes early. Coming back through Canadian customs, I am asked for a passport or birth certificate - guess what folks? It hadn't occurred to me to bring one! I tell the Canadian customs guy they never even asked for on when I went through US customs, and hetells me I'm lucky because he has heard some "horror stories" and that I could be detained for quite a while in immigration on either side for not having this stuff. However, I do have my driver's license, and this guy is really cool and nice, and he asks me three skill-testing questions to see if I'm a *real* Canadian. In case you're ever asked, here's what I was asked, "What is the capital of Canada?" "Who is Canada's prime minister?" and darned if I can remember the third one, but I passed the test and he let me through. Pleased to say that my guitar was handled very well and made it back and forth (without being played once) in fine shape. Next time, if there is a next time, I won't be afraid to travel with it on a plane, and will remember about the key for the lock. A few things to remember, if you're ever in Danvers (or anywhere else): 1. The Dodge Neon is a crappy car. It has these stupid headrest things that can't be adjusted (or if they can, then not very well) so that it is very difficult to see behind you - it might help to be tall, but I'm not. It also (apparently) has only three headlight positions - off, parking/running lights, and high beams - no "normal" low beams. This produces frustration in the driver, who begins to doubt her own sanity, and in drivers of other cars, who keep "flashing" you to turn your high beams down. 2. When in Danvers, esp. when staying at the Days Inn, bear in mind that Petco is the centre of the universe. Once you find Petco, you can get anywhere from there. 3. When speaking of time, "A quarter of" means "a quarter to". 4. The people who designed the Massechusetts road systems probably wanted to discourage strangers from entering there. 5. Ashara is The Queen of Queens, and must be worshipped accordingly. 6. JMDLers are the best people in the whole world. The end.
