[Source: New York Times; June 21, 1968] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2002 04:56:49 -0400 From: "Marian Russell " Subject: Raya O. Coal concert - sjc I had the good fortune to be able to attend Raya O. Coal's CD presentation concert at Unplugged in Vienna's 9th District Wednesday night. Formerly known as Ramona Kasheer, Raya O. Coal (vocals, guitars, accordion) appeared with her new band - Robin Gillard on drums, Juergen Mitterlehner on saxophones, Toni Burger on violin and mandolin, and Reinhard Ziegerhofer on bass - with guest appearances from Thomas Uhegbu on keyboard and Michael Steindl on flute. The concert was wonderful. Raya is very captivating - her beautiful melodies, unusual chord changes, and surprising rhythms are an outward expression of her deep warmth and humor. It is so hard to describe her music because it is such a wild mixture of influences not only from one song to another, but also sometimes even within one song. In one moment it is a folk ballad and in the next it is jazz, in another moment you could imagine you are being serenaded by a gypsy songbird, and the next moment you are in an African chanting session. I feel like somehow she is expanding the boundaries of musical possibility. During the concert, one of her songs sequed into Big Yellow Taxi, and for the encore, she sang Twisted with Reinhard on bass, and instead of singing "instead of one head... I've got two" she sang "instead of two names... I've got two... " which made everyone laugh. I've been listening to her CD, Cut All The Strings, for the last two days. I love all the music on it - like Joni's songs, these are songs that I can play again and again and not tire of them, songs I want to sing along with, songs that run through my head without the help of the CD player. Raya wanted to include a version of Woodstock on her CD, but there were some hangups with getting permission. Hopefully it will appear on a later CD. I highly recommend her music to all JMDL members. She really is a very talented artist who could use your support. I am sure you will be extremely glad if you take my advice and go to the trouble to order her CD. You can find out about how to order it from her at: rayaocoal@gmx.at Marian Vienna NP: Stop Listen - Raya O.

Joni in person was not at all what I expected. She did not look like her pictures. She appeared much softer, smaller, and gentler, a lighter presence than I imagined she'd be. It was very much like meeting a different person than the one I'd seen in pictures. And she was very pretty.

(She had helped me in locating/burning some covers, and had commented on how much she enjoyed the songs). Anyway, I e-mailed her yesterday to make sure she had gotten it, she said she did and that she liked it a lot. She then went on to say that this week a co-worker (at Beacham-Smith-Kline) came up to her all stressed out. Chris gave her the Joni CD and told her to listen to it and it would help. When the co-worker returned it, she was all better! :~) Joni therapy does the job again!

(NJC) The new rates were announced this week. Although the amount was cut in half, it is still based on per stream, per listener and not a % of revenue. It's likely that most internet broadcasters will have to shut down and we'll be left with AOL Music or something like it. Reps. Boucher and Inslee have issued a joint press release saying that the rates are unfair. http://www.house.gov/boucher/docs/Inslee_Carp.htm You can find the rates here: http://www.copyright.gov/carp/webcasting_rates_final.html I'll certainly report any updates on grass roots action being taken (for anyone interested in joining the fight).

He's the Market Manager at WMSP-AM, WNZZ-AM, WLWI-AM & FM, WHHY-FM, WMXS-FM, & WXFX-FM. Yeah he's an industry 'wheel' but he *don't know jack* about Joni. R&R asked Mr. Barker: "How did the events of September 11 affect you?" He replied: "It reminds me of a song, 'You Don't Know What You've Got (Until You Lose It).' Sept 11 made it clear that, while we are an all-powerful nation, the parts that make up the whole are very fragile. But the fragile nature makes us protective, and that's what makes us strong. Like a splash of cold water in the face, Sept 11 was a wakeup call. Also, it reminded me of what an important role our medium plays. Radio rallied to the occasion on September 11, and it continues to do so today." In fairness to Bernie, it looks like the R&R writer and / or editor interpreted Bernie's mangled quote as if it was a title but we all know it's not a title. It's possible that Bernie gave them the first bit and the editor incorrectly added the sub-title, making him look silly. I want to believe he knows better cause he picked Pink Floyd's "The Wall" as his favorite album of all time. Anyone who comprehends Roger Waters is okay in my book. Lama ps, Those buildings collapsing on thousands of New Yorkers where a lot like cold water on your face, right guys? ppss. favorite mis-quote of all time: >>>> This project has gone wrong from the beginning. It's like 'the blind leading the blind'.>>>> How many times have we heard it that way?

He may have been talking about the John Lennon song "What You Got" from "Walls and Bridges". This line is repeated 3 times during the chorus section.

From surplus to deficit and huge deficits that don't need to be and looking for more tax cuts and lying about the cost of re-organization of government - he can't even be honest about how much that will cost, andwhile we all reciognise the need to do some reorganization, why can't Bush tell the truth? And why did he reject working with Congress when Congreew first proposed this, instead of springing out a plan that had no consultation and input from anyone outside the inner circle? A nuclear treaty that doesn't eliminate any weapons, not a one, but only stores them - what a pr spin job on that. I can't stand to watch him on tv. He disseminates and mis-states so often his staff is always later announcing that desite whatbthe frat boy said, what the real policy of the US is - which does change day to day anyway. I remember Bush ridiculing Clinton for Clintion's shooting a missile at bin laden and missing bin laden by mere minutes when bin laden left his dwelling early - how Bush mocked Clinton for incompetence. Well, Mr We Will Get Him Dead or Alive, in 9 months you never got as close as Clinton. That makes Bush 9 times as incompetent, doesn't it? But then, Bush mocked Clintoin for even going after bin Laden, which Clintin did about the same time that Bush's father and others were meeting with other (non terrorist) bin Ladens on business. oh, Relayer, you shouldn't have got me started... glad you did.
