NPR/All Things Considered did an interview with his son, Rufus, and daughter, Martha, today, 9/3/01. it's online, just click it, and RealPlayer will play it. It's great. http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/atc/20010903.atc.18.ram I saw Rufus headline in concert up in Portland, Oregon this past Saturday. The guy is brilliant: symphonic, literate, irreverant. People on this list must know of, and have heard him. His 2 CD's are amazing. He was also on www.FUV.org (Fordham University's internet radio station/part of NPR also) today, but it's not archived, though they may replay it, this week, in honor of Loudon's birthday. Something about Rufus's melodic word and sound-pictures reminds me a bit of Joni...the truth, the irreverance, the reveries. The title song on his new CD, "Poses", has . . .a ring of "For The Roses"... though he never has mentioned Joni in his interviews as an 'influence'...

Hey, all... Tears started falling while I sat at the piano Sunday night, before a single goodbye was even uttered. Mags and Brei stood on each side of me right after I sputtered- I don't want to go home. They told me I WAS home, but, another page was to be torn from the calender, bringing me back to the the world from whence I came. Then I laughed and I cried at the same time... But my world is not at all like the place I had just visited, where a look from across a room can spark a hug, a song, or conversation or better yet, start a fantastic new adventure sometimes refered to as friendship... (And within each line here, you know there is a novel...) Mags and Brei- Secrets and sharing songs- that's how are time began... I love you guys so... and you know I do... Leslie & Steve, our friendship has grown and deepened and expanded that I can only say I love you both! Thank you for letting me be a part of your music...

BTW, wanna hook up in Jamaica, mon? Jimmy, my longtime friend and brother, I will play Court & Spark for you anytime... hugs... Ashara... Thank you for everything... (Just pretend I wrote that a THOUSAND times...but it still wouldn't be enough, or even begin to convey my emotion...) Hugs, real big warm hugs... Maggie, chef supreme, with hugs so delicious! Pazman, you take my blues away... You are a walking jukebox, a delight and it was so nice to see and hear you again! Chuck E... awe, you inspire me fiecely! It was a joy to get to hang with you!

If I forgot anyone, forgive me... hugs, Steve ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2001 04:29:05 From: "Gregg Cagno" Subject: JoniFest thank you!...long and gushing ;) Hey friends, Thank you so much for welcoming this quiet newbie lurker this weekend at JoniFest 2001.

It was such a pleasure to meet you all and sing and dance and laugh with such talented, beautiful people all brought together by the JMDL!! I knew it would be fun, but it turned out to be so much mo' than I'd expected...lookin for laughter and findin it there... ;) Thanks to Ashara & Nick for welcoming us all to their home. Thanks to Maggie and Paz and Nick all everyone who helped with the food for nourishing our bellys while we all nourished each other with music. Thanks to Paz for sharing songs (Fuzzy rocked) and the mindblowing VG8. Thanks to Chuck for teaching me some dulcimer tricks and keepin me in picks.

Thanks to Les for keepin this community in touch. Sorry to split Atty. May's without saying goodbye to a lot of you. The smoke got to me and I had a long drive home to the praries of PA to make last night. It which went by quickly thanks to the full moon, new great Joni boot and great new memories to recap (and it was nothing compared to the drive that Hell had to make today...). Besides, I thought of the whole weekend as one big HELLO to the list, so I figured I'd be talkin to you here soon anyhow, so there's no goodbye, just a talk to ya later... Thank you all for being so supportive and taking an interest in my music as well.

It tis a very homey place! I had been in a long relationship six years, long for me anyway, so when my partner and I called it quits I needed something to help me through.....Joni's music. I wanted to find out what she had out there that was new. (I had worn out River) When I take my walks along the beach I'm now always fortified with anywhere from five to six of Joni's CD's. The Irish in me brings out the melancholy(comfort in melancholy) all too often. Friends, well intentioned as they are, tell me to listen to something a little more upbeat. But Joni is the girl for me, in times like these..... The Jonifest reports are incredible and sounds as though it was a truly magical time for everyone. I'm a little envious that I missed out. But......I've marked my calendar for next year. Thanks for listening and if anyone out there has a Joni song that I really can cry my eyes out on, let me know? I'm open to suggestions.
