From Wally's Bio Page: Joni performed "Moon at the Window" and "Sex Kills". Some of the other performers at the show were Julie Andrews, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley, Salt N Pepe, Tammy Wynette, Rupaul, Clint Black, George Michael, and Elton John. The finale of the 3 hour show was Elton singing his hit "I'm Still Standing" with all the performers dancing on stage with him. The benefit raised over 3 million dollars for AIDS charities.

If one is an asshole at forty this person will still be pretty much an asshole at eighty. In fact,we become more of ourselves the older we get. And just because a person reaches eighty doesn't mean they will be a font for all wisdom. But we can still learn from this wise old asshole. One of the most incredible human beings I ever met was a woman by the name of Dr.Louise Belai. Birthplace: Vienna,Austria. She was 98 when she died a few years ago. She had three doctorates. One of those doctorates was in Physics. She was way ahead of her time,a pioneer for women. We became great friends....I in my thirties at the time and she in her nineties.(age difference did not matter) Some of the stories she told me about concerning Nazism and Fascism were just fascinating. I couldn't wait to visit her. And to top it off she was so humorous. She did her best to teach me Deutch,and we had many laughs with this. (I have her passport from the 1930's with Hitler's swastika emblazoned on it) Anyway,I love her and miss her kindness. Forgetting about her brilliance,the doctorates,she was able with all her worldliness to maintain a childlike disposition. She was soooo sweet and so very kind. She wasn't a whiner,in fact when I first met her I didn't realize that she was blind. She was devout Catholic and at her funeral many of her former students were there. This speaks volumes. She was definitely a font of all wisdom!! Bree > >Included here is part of a rpely to an offlist mail.

If you're just ignorant, but aware of your own ignorance, you learn something. The true asshole is just... an asshole! Your story about Dr Belai is wonderful. This kind of person is a real treasure and it's such a shame when they're gone. Just before Christmas, my kids and I had lunch with my stepmother, who is in her late 70s. She is originally from England (London) but married a Canadian soldier who was posted in the UK during WW II. My daugher, aged 14, started asking her questions about how things were when she (Lily, my stepmother) was a kid. I learned things by my daughter asking (thanks, Sarah!) that I never knew about Lily before. Lily was about 13 when the war was on and at that time, the Germans were bombing London, so they closed the schools and started shipping kids out to the country so they'd be safe. Lily did leave, but she came right back - she wanted to be back with her family in London. Because the schools were closed, her education ended there - she never went back to school. She got a job working for the government and also acted as a volunteer firefighter to go out when incendiary bombs landed. She described crawling on her belly towards these bombs, at the age of 15. These bombs landed and caught fire and the fire had to be put out before the bomb exploded. Lily is a tiny woman, so of course, she must have been a tiny girl and she says she can still remember crawling along, thinking, "I can't do this!" But she did. She also described the sound of the unmanned airplane-bombs - you'd be able to predict when they were going to explode when you'd hear this airplane overhead putt-putting slower and slower until it stopped - and then boom! Or another time, being in a bomb shelter with a whole bunch of people, listening for the sound of bombing getting closer and closer. At one point, people panicked and a bunch of them decided they had to get out and starting pushing and shoving. They were afraid they would be trapped inside by debris. They were running over one another and Lily was nearly crushed by this. Anyway, this is one pretty ordinary lady. But not really. This is all information we're going to lose when they're gone. Which is maybe why, if we don't learn from history, we're condemned to repeat it. ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 09:45:11 -0800 (PST) From: Tyler Hewitt Subject: lyric changs My guess is that "He's got a woman down the hall and I think he wants me anyway". is easier to sing (and seems a little less clunky) than "He's got a woman for the night and I think he wants one for the day". It also changes the meaning a little-the new lyric implies having a string of lovers/girlfriends as opposed to having a series of one night stands. RE: ...Some of these recordings are available and are very interesting. Joni does "Woman of Heart & Mind", "Edith & The Kingpin", "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow", and an early version of "Coyote" where she sings the original lyric: "He's got a woman for the night and I think he wants one for the day" instead of: "He's got a woman down the hall and I think he wants me anyway".

For some reason (it was the beginning of the story that I missed), a lioness "adopted" a baby ibex, something it would more normally have had for lunch. But rather than eating it, the lioness groomed it, licked it -- basically treating it like a lion cub. (I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that the lioness had just lost its own cub, hence the unusual behavior). She even allowed the little buck to nurse from its real mother, whom the lioness also left in peace. This went on for two weeks, and the game preserve got lots of attention from the locals and various news organization because of the phenomenon. Some people, perhaps looking for a deeper meaning, thought the "miracle" was a message from God about peace. The sad ending was that after two weeks, when the ibex and both its "mothers" were not close enough to protect it, *another* lioness attacked the baby ibex and, or course, ate it. There have been other stories, of course, about mothers taking on other species as their progeny, nursing them and such (there was a particularly amusing one shown on American Public television but originating from Great Britain, in which a man found an orphaned squirrel pup [kit? -- not sure] and gave it to his cat, who had a ltter of three or four kittens, and she accepted the baby squirrel as her own -- and it lived to survive and be released into the wild, with some help from the man, who was a naturalist, and had to teach it how to be a squirrel; the fun parts were the kittens and baby squirrel's play, since the baby squirrel had climbing abilities that left its "sibling" kittens clearly puzzled...), but I thought this one was particularly unusual. peace, Walt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 22:42:29 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: NJC- January 19th - --- FMYFL@aol.com wrote: > Wednesday's child is full of woe, > Thursday's child has far to go, > Tuesday's child is fair of face, > But our JMDL child is Mary Grace! > > H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y MG!!!!!! > > Let's celebrate with our Taylor Ham wondergal - > MGVAL > Have a great day, you sweetheart you! > Many hammy returns to you, MG! ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 22:56:49 EST From: BigWaltinSF@aol.com Subject: SF Bay Area Get-together?

The only problem with that is the fact that some people (I think, e.g., the Mixons, who I haven't met but would like to) can't make weeknight plans cuz of kids or early work hours the next day or what have you. So maybe this time we should try for a Friday or Saturday night. I'm sending this to the whole list because I don't have everyone's e-mail in the SFBay Area. So SFBayjmdlers: write to me at with any suggestions or proposals. Let's find out who's interested, and what time restrictions there are, etc. And Darice -- if you can tell me how to set up that e-invite website thing you did last time, I'll be happy to run it this time -- unless you'd rather do it, or if it's easier to do it that way because you've got the site set up already... peace to all, Walt Breen ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 00:14:20 EST From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: NJC January 20th No more our little baby girl from SLC, She's a grown WILD woman, yes Alison E., WISHING YOU A HHHHHHHAAAAAAPPPPPYYYY BBBBBIIIIIRRRRRTTTHHHHDDDDAAAAYYYY ALI !!!!!!

What's up with our precious, gossamer-winged, Argentinean sylph? No answers to my e-mail, which is, frankly, unprecedented. No posts from him for, like, MAJOR recent birthdays. What's up? Wally?
