Michal hosted a magnificant radio talk show. Sadly, just when she was begining to get some respect from the public, she commited suicide. She used to recored original songs and covers but never released the album. When she was gone her friends released the songs - i don't think it was sold in the music stores though. I heared her "Blue" cover several times on the radio station she was working at, and it's amazing. I'll do my best to find a link on the net about her cover. (In case you don't get there before i do ) Thanks, Nuriel _____________________________________________________________ Free email, web pages, news, entertainment, weather and MORE!

I absolutely love 'Yentl'. She did it all in this one - directed, scripted, acted & sang - and she did it all beautifully. You can quibble that the songs are superfluous and call the whole project a vanity piece but I don't care. Her singing is so passionate & honest that for me that particular criticism is beside the point. The film is beautifully produced and shot and the performances are all great. Besides, how can a movie that has the young and hunky Mandy Patinkin skinny-dipping in it be bad? ;-) I thought Babs' performance in 'Nuts' was criminally under-rated. Also 'Funny Girl' was a stunning debut. Her great comic timing shines through in that one and in 'What's Up Doc?' as well. It's been so long since I've seen 'The Way We Were' that I really can't objectively state an opinion of it at this point in time. I do remember thinking she was fantastic in that movie when it first came out, though. In some circles, however, I believe it is known as one of the ultimate 'chic flicks'. > > willing to give it a shot, though...I have never purchased (or listened to) > a Streisand album.

As a matter of fact I > want to listen to it now just talking about it. One of these days I have to pick that one up on cd. I'm afraid I don't have many of Barbra's earliest recordings although I do highly recommend 'The Second Barbra Streisand Album'. I looked at my cd of this one a while ago and saw that Harold Arlen's name was listed on about half or more of the songs on that record. No wonder I like it so much! 'The Broadway Album' is a classic, imo. Beautiful songs that she gives just enough Streisand to let the listener know it's her, but that she also respects enough to let them speak for themselves. 'Stoney End' was one of her attempts at a contemporary 70s sound and it really has some nice stuff on it. I really do like her version of 'I Don't Know Where I Stand' from that one. 'Barbra Joan Streisand' also has some good songs on it including a wonderful version of Bacharach/David's 'One Less Bell' where she sings a duet with herself. She also did some creditable versions of some of Laura Nyro's songs on these two records, including a gorgeous rendition of 'I Never Meant To Hurt You'. Enough of my Bab(s)-bling on.

From the JMDL to WFUV's featuring the Joni - to ... the Beverly Hillbillies - yes that's right. Only moments ago an episode aired that clearly was a secret message honoring Joan. I do believe there is a Joniphile at TV Land. The episode opens with Granny & Ellie May discussing a beau coming to "Court" Ellie May. Granny says "First he's coming to court ya - then to spark ya."" Ellie asks, "What does that mean?" And Granny questions Ellie, "You mean you don't know what court ya and spark ya means?" Oh! I just had another idea. What if Joni got her inspiration from watching the Beverly Hillbillies - please help me I'm feeling faint! Happy Birthday Joni - ya know California is the place you oughta be! Peace Susan P. S.

I used to have the 8 track tape version of Wet by Barbra. I am pretty sure the critics said it was awful. I loved it. There was a song on it called "on rainy afternoons", absolutely precious and so heartbreaking, and Barbra takes it where no one else could. She also did a version of splish splash I was taking a bath and it was hilarious. I used to get out my journal, smoke and toke until I was exactly where I wanted to be and plug that tape in. After the Rain and Kiss me in the Rain. Damn. I had forgotten all about that album but went to Amazon to look it up while writing this letter and someone had rated it and said exactly what I am saying to you now. You have taken me back Mark, and I thank you, to a place I had not been in a long time and had completely forgotten. I was getting over the guy who broke my heart and a few years before I used to come home and find him and his girlfriend, that he dumped me for to marry,(I could compete with a lot but could not compete with a woman, didn't know how), listening to Songbird. (That is a great album too. ) And color me barbra. I think I am a bigger Barbra fan than I realized. As far as the movie the way we were. How about when Katie asked Hubble if it was lovely and he said, "yes, it was lovely" Or when he was leaving and she watched him go. He apologized for snoring and she said "I like snoring". And when he danced with her at the graduation dance. I am a big romantic. The last scene was unforgettable. Like butter.

Years ago back in the 80s at my first law firm one of my assistants left to take a job as her personal assistant. Debbie got the job through her sister who worked at Barbra's fave hair salon in Beverly Hills. Of course all of us wanted to know how it was going and she told us that Barbra was very easy to get along with but it also sounded like Barbra was a little idiosyncratic and eccentric in some ways. Nonetheless Debbie had no problem with her and also told me that all of Barbra's old boyfriends and Elliot Gould phoned everyday and all were apparently very caring and solicitous of Barbra. Personally - I have always, always loved her voice and have many of her albums. I also love some of her flicks. She sometimes gets on my nerves, but that would never detract from my appreciation of her talents.

Tricky Question, Wally, But you know most people will probably never allow their kids to hear or say the words on Nathan's list (that's what x-rated is, right? things allowed only for grownups?). Some adults will find some words on the list not so easy to say or hear or read even for themselves. I've got no problem with these words and i guess i wrote "x-rated words" just so our friends on the board will know what they're about to read. Maybe there are no x-rated words in the world at all (though the F word is, and some nasty-nasty curses are too) so the x-thing's more about the vivid scene or action that pops to one's mind when reading Nathan's words that could be somewhat x-rated. Don't know. I must say that he opens his page with a sweet introdution and a friendly voice, but when the word Pedophilia is mentioned - it's realy sick and that's where he lost my interest so i don't think he's such a nice person as he claims to be. While all the other sex-terms in his list are about things that women and men do if and when they want to do them - I never heard of a child who wanted to take part in someone else's pedophila. Pedophilia is raping a child. It's killing a child. p.s. Only a Joni fan could've nicknamed himself "Nathan la Franeer". Maybe he's a JMDL member? Thanks, Wally.

I haven't heard of her, but found this on a NZ search engine: "Combining soaring Celtic melodies with Hollie Smith's unique and talented vocals, Light From A Distant Shore is an album about love, life, happiness and sorrow. This is the debut release from 16 year old Hollie Smith - a prodigious artist and winner of the Best Vocalist award at the National Jazz Festival in her native land of New Zealand." I will definitely be checking her out. And the fact that she's only 16 would explain why she's only got one CD so far!

The Ten Commandments According to Joni: 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before Joni. 2. Thou shalt not take the name of Joni thy God in vain - the "perm" look of the 80's was not her best, but she's OK now. 3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image - illegal copies of Joni's work will spontaneously combust, should they be offered for profit. 4. Remember November 7th, and keep it holy. 5. Honor Bill and Myrtle. 6. Thou shalt not kill other's bids on ebay, even if they are bidding against you for an ultra-rare cover of "The Wolf Who Lives In Lindsay" recorded by an isolated tribe of Amazonian Indians. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, and idolise any other artist above Joni. 8. Thou shalt not steal, even if it's the only copy of Hejira for 50 miles, and you have no money in your pocket. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour - they're allowed to listen to Britany Spears if they want to (they're insane, but that's their problem). 10.Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Joni - even if they do have the master tapes of For The Roses hidden in their basement.

Victor, I'm sorry to hear about you and Holley, and wish you all the best wherever you end up! I'd say come to New Zealand, but the music scene is sparse to say the least - it would drive you insane!

I was there about 15 years ago for a month and had a wonderful time, looking at art and just wandering around and sitting in cafes chatting. Except for a few aggressive men, who can be found anywhere, I didn't find Parisians rude at all. It was really a pleasant surprise considering their reputation. As soon as I spoke a bit of French, most people said they wanted to practice their English so we'd switch to that (probably really because they couldn't tolerate my accent). As in any big city, people tend to be focused and in a hurry during certain times of the day, so then especially I guess people would seem rude, but midday when I was doing most of my wandering, I had a great time. I was staying with the parents of a friend of mine so there were plenty of French "it's good for the digestion" meals, with lots of wine and small Davidoff cigars after dinner for me and Madame (Monsieur didn't smoke). They didn't speak a word of English and my French was far from fluent so telling Monsieur a joke in French one evening and actually getting a huge laugh at the punchline was a thrill, although maybe what I REALLY told him wasn't at all what I was trying to tell him. In a park one day a white-haired man found out I was American and then his eyes lit up and he expressed great gratitude for the US being involved in WWII and "saving" them. What a surprise it was to be hearing that, and such joie de vivre... even at his "grandfather" age he was flirting! I love that. Then I went to Italy for a few weeks, expecting an easy relaxed time there, and that's where I felt people were rude, probably because I didn't know the language and right away that makes a person more vulnerable. It felt like everyone wanted to sell me something at some outrageous price and everyone was always in a big hurry, and this was in the northern cities, not even in Rome. So, I don't think I'd go to Italy again, but Paris... I'd love to live there for a while.

And it doesn't even take perfectionism and being demanding. Any woman who ventures an opinion on any topic is likely to have some fearful (?) man calling her a bitch or worse. It doesn't take much for a woman to be very scary to some men.
