Maybe it was #128, but insofar as Tuesday's was #133, #128 would apparently have been Thursday's (May 2), and I thought the day I received none was more recent. About Brenda Russell: Shortly after I arrived in Saudi Arabia in 1990, for what proved to be a 7-1/2-month stay, I started hearing "Kiss Me With the Wind" frequently on the Armed Forces Radio. I really liked it, and during my stay, got a chance to buy the Brenda Russell cassette that has that included - -- I think it is self-titled. It also has "Piano in the Dark," which I had hitherto thought had been recorded by Roberta Flack, but something I read seemed to indicate that it was original with Brenda Russell. Can anyone here confirm or debunk that? Anyway, while "Kiss Me With the Wind" was in heavy rotation for those few weeks, I don't think I ever heard it on radio after returning Stateside. And I don't think I've heard any more about, or from, Brenda Russell.

Although the lyrics suggest Joni is being tortured, she is flirting with a kind of danger here, which can bring on a sort of intense, dramatic sexual energy. I actually think the music itself(and most of the music on that whole album-Cotton Ave, Talk to Me,etc..), more so than the lyrics, is incredibly sexy! Next, I would have to go with "Lucky Girl" from (I know, I know) DED.

And I don't think I've heard any more about, or from, > Brenda Russell. > Brenda Russell has been around since the late '70's. She has been far more successful as a songwriter and session musician than she has been as a performer. If you can find her debut record (1978, I think), it has the original recordings of "Piano in the Dark", "If Only for One Night" (which was later a hit for Roberta Flack & Peabo Bryson and then Luther Vandross) and what I remember as the radio hit, "So Good So Right." I don't recall Robert Flack recording "Piano in the Dark." Brenda also wrote "Dinner With Gershwin" which was a big hit for Donna Summer. Her list of credits as a songwriter and session singer is very deep. The album "Kiss Me With the Wind" came right after her biggest release, "Get Here" on which she re-recorded "Piano in the Dark" and had a huge hit with it. The title track, "Get Here" is probably her most well known song thanks to Oleta Adams' cover of it in 1990.

Anyway, Joni fan since 67 or 68 (memory fails an exact date--it mightve been the times), w/a big thanks to a long-ago girlfriend who said, She wrote Both sides now! with the emphasis that _that_ amounted to something (and, begrudgingly, I've had to admit that I knew so much less). Remember seeing Joni on The Joey Bishop Show (8/68?) singing The Fiddle and the Drum, which I thought to be an incredibly courageous act, given that, 1. it was a capella; and 2. not on her debut LP. Jeez! thought I, or something similar--mesmerized. _This_ was someone to pay attention to. And did, followed for many years, her return to the Mariposa festival70 was wonderful; the jazz excursions, when I was paddling for life in Ornette Coleman and the Art Ensemble of Chicago; only to lose her direction with _Wild things run fast_. Which I attribute to the weirdness of sonic Joni, ie, synthd-out and other sounds. RE: WTRF, Ive long wondered, why in the hell would she clutter good songs with Steve Lukathers processed 80s guitar babblings?!!? (This goes somewhat earlier: The Jungle Line, is a really fine performance, on a favorite albumsand I esp. like the drums; but that synth--at times like fingernails across a lower consciousness.) And most of the 80s were a blurtho I continued to buy each release, hoping for direction, until _Taming the tiger_ got my ear then _Turbulent Indigo_ really grabbed me, again; but despite all of that, to paraphrase the Natl Rifle Assoc. (how often does one see that reference on this list?), you can have that old vinyl when you pry them from my cold. . .blah, blah, blah. Wow! Am I full of myself?!!? Such blather! Well, consider that its spring. That its been a lovely day here in the mountains of central Arizona. Consider that the Stones are going on tour again. Personal favorites have to include Heijira, a favorite since the first time the needle hit the vinylperhaps at the very top of a very crowded list. Anyway, enough of my nonsense.

Well that year for his birthday I bought another copy of Night Ride Home and gave it to him:-) " What's this with NRH. I gave it to Charlie Dolan (Chairman of Cablevision - owner of the Knicks, Rangers and MSG - and my family's former next door neighbor when he was poor) as sort of a thank you gift. Each year, he holds a 4th of July party in his backyard on LI's north shore - for several years about 1000 people attended - complete with a grandiose fireworks display - and I do mean grandiose. It's his anniversary, and his daughter's birthday. Anyway, a couple of years ago, as we approached his house shortly before sunset, we got stuck behind a horse and carriage - no kidding. So I sent him the CD as sort of a compliment - but complained about the $135 I had just spent to see Joni in his building. He replied that he and his wife Helen had listened to NRH and thought she was outstanding - but that I should call him next time for tickets. So far - what next time ? Bob S.
