Hey there & welcome to you, Matt! Sorry it's taken me so long to acknowledge your introduction. As you by now have realized, we just completed "Jonifest 2002" and are now getting re-assimilated to our respective locales and lives. Anyway, you've heard some of the Neil Young stories - there are lots of connections with them, I was reading the Shadows & Light biography on the plane and it told of the sessions for her debut record, "Song To A Seagull" (referred to here as STAS), and how Buffalo Springfield was recording in the same studios, which led to Stills laying down his cool bass riff on 'Night In The City' and introduced Crosby to Neil Young as Joni had known him from her Canadian folkie days. Anyway, what an amazing journey awaits you...some of the best music made in the last 35 years, an array of musical literature unsurpassed. And yes, we can hook you up with lots of concerts, early unreleased songs, and a whole other amazing world of music. Welcome home.

As I told you, meeting/singing/partying with you was a blast. From the moment you touched down at the Full Moon, you were with the flow of the Fest. Meeting new folks is always a blast for me, especially when they're willing to jump headfirst into the maelstrom. One of my fave moments was our acapella jam on Bill Withers/Stevie Wonder tunes on the porch...I can do that kind of thing all night, and there are LOTS of songs yet to do, so we have a date in July girl! :~) And thanks for the DYNAMITE version of "Since I Fell For You", one of my favorite songs EVER. And you can WAIL too girl - thanks for sharing that gift!

Full Moon is the perfect place for Jonifests - friendly and flexible staff, excellent food, beautiful surroundings, VERY CLEAN rooms!!! I drove up to Full Moon on Friday from CT and arrived about noon. I had spent Thursday in CT doing some family history research - found my ggggrandparents from Scotland in a little Scottish cemetery near where the other ancestors used to live. This was very exciting because I didn't know for sure if these ggggrandparents had made the trip with everyone else. Now I know what happened to them! My suitcase (with my Roland memory card, guitar strings, capo, and photocopies of all the things for my workshop, not to mention my clothes for the whole weekend) got lost in Paris and still hadn't arrived at the hotel by Friday morning, but when I got to Full Moon, Roger, one of the owners, told me the airline had called and my bag would be there soon. To make a long story short, it still had not arrived by Sunday morning! I had already spent about an hour on hold listening to muzak with a French twist that just made me want to scream and was still getting the run around. I was so frustrated that I was in tears. I'm still thanking God for Mona Fitzgerald who just took over the whole problem and really read those airline people the riot act until my bag finally arrived on Sunday afternoon. Without her intervention, I wouldn't have gotten my luggage until after I returned to Austria. By taking over this big problem, Mona, I was able to stop crying, relax, and enjoy bein! g at the fest. It was such a big weight off my shoulders. Thank you so much, Mona!!! I'm bringing you a bottle of really good champagne someday! Thanks also to Pearl and Kate who let me borrow some things to wear for my performance on Saturday night. It felt so good to put on some clean clothes! Thanks also to Roger's wife who washed the two outfits I brought with me. Everyone was so nice!!! I felt like I had come home to my true family and on top of that there was so much REALLY AMAZING music!!!!! I have to go now, but I will write more later. Just wanted to let y'all know I'm back in Austria, WITH my luggage, and I'm missing everybody and wishing it just could have gone on and on and on. I feel happy - feel connected to all that good energy of the weekend. More later. Love, Marian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 11:21:11 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: NJC Re: Jonifest 2002 report - Part I > I felt like I had come home to my true family Real words can't come close to the joy I experienced in your presence, Marian...to be able to sing on stage with you is literally indescribable. For those of you who weren't there, I was HONORED to perform "Free Man In Paris", "Refuge Of The Roads" & "Talk To Me" (SO much fun!!!) with one of the guitarists who researched and wrote the tabs. To be able to just cut loose and sing knowing that Marian would be able to follow (and cover up) my flaws was...well, you know, that 'indescribable' thang. But next time, bring some other outfits willya? :~D Thanks SO much for making the trip - it meant so much for everyone that you were there.

If you can't put them in chonological order, it would be helpful if you could at least say which day each photo is from. Otherwise the only thing I can do to figure which day a photo is from is to try to remember who was wearing what on whatever day, and even though you are a very attractive group with lots of nice outfits, I don't think that will be possible. The fest page was slow in going up last year, mainly because I was -- like everyone else -- distracted (to say the least) by the attacks on 9/11. But if you all get the photos in ASAP this year, I promise to get the captions done faster.

But I simply have to start the day by writing about the Jonifest 2002 BEFORE reality returns and two weeks mysteriously rush by. WOW. WHAT AN AWESOME FEST!!!! UNF#?*ING BELIEVABLE. It just keeps getting better. Ashara, you are MAGICAL. You manage to pull us together over and over again, and you finding FULL MOON for us was/is divine. The performance space is so cozy and intimate, simply perfect. The staff...warm and welcoming. The food...delicious and creative. The entire experience felt like home. Thank you for all you have done, thank you, thank you!!!!!! One of the best parts about FULL MOON to me is that you had a chance to relax and enjoy yourself as well!!!! Yippie Anne, Wally K., you were on my mind throughout the fest, I saw you each standing here and there, heard your laughter, felt your tears, embraced you both, shared my heart in spirit. I missed you. I also missed Leslie and Steve. I kept hearing Leslie's voice where it wasn't and I missed singing the Gallery. I hope all is well and you'll be back again. Highlights? ...Mmmmm, I might need a few months to sort through them ALL, but here are a few that pop into my mind. Definitely OUR honeymooners ;-)))) Congratulations again, MagsnBri and thanks for sharing your happiness with your JMDL family. You both radiate such love and happiness... it is quite infectious ;-) All the music..... Wow, what a gathering of incredible talent. Everyone was there to share something from their heart, which made every performance to me a treasure. Marian, the Rodeo song is on constant replay in my head, and the songs you and Hell collaborated on are heart-wrenchingly beautiful in words and melody, WOW, thank you for sharing them with me again on Sunday; Patti, your CD is awesome, but after hearing you on Saturday, that was no surprise; Victor, your set was really beautiful- I was mesmerized by your piano songs, Asheville is doing you some good; Bryan T. you are so invisible until you get up on stage. Then you launch like a missile - wow, your Joni interpretations take me to a whole other planet. Can't wait to hear your CD. Christina and Henning, you two served such a delicious smorgasbord of Joni songs - what an authentic treat. You have remarkable talents; Gisele, - you! I have no words. I would just want to shut up and listen. What a heart, what a voice, what a player. Come back next year, ... or else I'll have to whoop your ass. The same goes for you, Jack. What a treat it is to hear you. I can't wait for your CD. Your voice and your playing...both tremendous. Sherelle - soulful to the core... your heartfelt set calmed my nerves like magic. I was just so "into the moment" when you sang. Edith was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for moving to MD, I hope we'll see more of each other. Les R. - I've said it all before - you know I adore what you do and it is so rewarding to see you grow musically and in confidence. You've got it. Bob - you teaming up with Roberto for a Waits song delivered! - it was brilliant and flawless. Kate - I loved the wolfsong! I won your CD in the raffle, so glad to see it is on there. I could go on, and on...please forgive me for not mentioning everyone in this message... I would only sound enthusiastically repetitive. More..... Jeff, Les I., and John thank you for your collaboration on the David Olney song. It was very special to me to perform this song. You've added so much. Kate and Jeff, the songwriting workshop was very inspiring. I got a lot out of it and hope everyone walked away feeling the same. Next year, I'll be a bit more prepared. More.... The song circles, wow ... magical... perfect. The star filled sky, the full moon shining on FULL MOON; Sharon's accordion porch serenade; the holding of hands during egg dancing...the lemon bread reward right after; the late night Sugar Pants rehearsal session; the pool hall jam - standing in the middle, the blending of voices, surround sound of happiness, heavenly, exquisite, drunk with joy (and more) madness...a moment of bliss for all my still available senses ;-) Bette and John Morris, for always looking so happy and content. I enjoyed your company. Julius, Yael, Barbara, Maggie... your smiles are priceless -- Lori... you better work on yours ;-)))) Walt, I enjoyed the dinner times we shared. I am sorry that I missed your set. Now I have to waaaaaaait for the CDs... I promise, next year I'll be there on time, but only if you promise not to get any taller ;-))) Donna, Marian, Steven, Jenny, and all other regularly wet-eyed JMDLers... thank you for easing the drought situation. Alison, I was serious about the potty mouth workshop - or better yet, could I get some intensive one-on-one tutoring ;-) ... also, please let's do some bluegrass next year! I love your voice! A hidden agenda: get to hear Les play some more of that juicy kick-ass mandarin :-)))) Chris, Jimmy, Ed your hugs are among the best. Come to think of it, hugging Hell ain't too bad either ;-) Kerry, glad to discover we have something in common.. aside from Pema Chvdron ;-) Hell, thanks for the CD and your lyrics. Michael, I missed your shrimp but I didn't miss you smelling like a shrimp - -- so good to see you again. Jody, thanks for my pepper and showing up numb or not....quit those cigs though Thanks, all of you, thanks... so many more to mention....I am running out of time... there is more... so it'll just have to wait,... one last wish... just be there again next year. Let me group hug all of you one more time...., for now (((((((((((((((x))))))))))))))) Much Love, Claud9 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 17:05:19 EDT From: RoseMJoy@aol.com Subject: Fest fotos Some people told me they had difficulty getting in the album.

I'm writing to you from a place called "real life". Oh how it pales in comparison to Jonifest life. Alright, let's be honest. It sucks. I drove home sailing on some serious beta-endorphins - the kind of high usually reserved for experiences like falling in love. Well, I guess I've fallen in love with Full Moon and Jonifest and there is no going back. I am so grateful to Ashara and everyone else who came and contributed to the weekend. What it meant to me is difficult to put into words. Well, let's just say I feel roused from a life of quiet desperation. It sounds over the top, I know. To explain why seems self-indulgent, so lets just leave it at thank you!! My only regret is I couldn't kick my shy and insular habits sooner - I want to talk with all of you much more.

After attending 3 prior fests, I was thinking "this fest can't possibly be as good as last years" WRONG!!!! The Full Moon Resort was a great find Ashara, and I can't wait until 2003. I want to thank everyone who made this such a magical weekend. After being in the hospital for a week, it was the perfect way to heal the ailments of surgery.

It was so sweet to hear of you stopping by May's. I had two episodes of feeling that same strong presence while you all were at the Fest. I know it must have been powerful to reach me all the way over here and thanks for sending it out ;-) The first time was last Thursday night when JMDLer Gary Zack (of the incredible voice) invited me out to a funky landmark German place with the perfect piano man. Gary got up an sang Both Sides Now and Fire and Rain and then the piano man started in on our old staples "Southern Man" and "Love the One You're With" and suddenly everything morphed (piano man turned into Paz and ChuckE)and I transported back to Fests past. Then on Sunday a friend took me up to a beautiful little village in the Los Padres National Forest that had the perfect neighborhood bar overlooking the mountains and meadows and I swear I heard "strains of Victor Johnson coming through the Pinon Pines." It was like a combination of Atty May's and the Catskills (and the bar defies the smoking laws, which also made me feel like I was in another state ;-) As for your rude jolt with Plum Islands' finest, all I could do was smile and wax nostalgic. When I sensed the gasping in the posts about the incredible music, I went back and looked up the performance schedule and said "well but of course!" I'm so sorry to have missed what I know had to be indescribable performances. Congratulations to you all on your very magical time.

There I said it! It went so fast and even thought I hardly slept (and never while the sun was down) I feel like I missed so much. I am sure lots of folks will tell you how wonderful the Full Moon was, the food, the people, in gifted detail (better than I) so I would just like to touch on my personal highlights in streaming form (no particular order). First of all my heartfelt thanks to Ashara for the fifth time. This event fills me up and keeps me going for almost a year. I think you ought to consider doing it twice a year. Heeee heee heee! Your efforts are forever appreciated. Being able to get Jack Nielson up there with me was so amazing and he had such a good time playing with other folks and listening to the music and connecting with old "buddies" from the New Orleans fest. Hooking up and hanging out with my old traveling traveling traveling Buds Alison and Julius and then getting to stay with Kay in Brooklyn (thanks so much Kay and I love Holy Man tooooo, hope you didn't mind me singing along) and hanging with Patrick and some my other pals in NYC. Great sushi place too Alison! One of the best parts of this year was getting to hear so many people who have come up but not done anything on stage. Please more of you people get the feck up and play more. Captive audience duh!!!!! Bob Murphy you should just do a whole fecking hour of stand up and music. I dreamed you singing to me last night. You as Ethel Merman doing Joni Mitchell sends me over the top, but then when you had her doing White Rabbit and The Needle and The Damage Done, it sent me over the edge. Hanging out with you down down down at the pool garage was so much fun and the music jams there were as powerful as ever thanks to the late night krewe. BTW Smurph I would love to produce your alter egos tribute to music. With feature performances by Kay Ashley and Susan Guzzi AND Patrick Leader. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! The musical performances every night were just SO brilliant. I was driven to tears by so many people this year. That damn Jack Neilson made me cry with his Wedding Song for Mags and Brei (actually called "Shine On Our Love") and I have had that song beat into my head for the last year during the production of his record. It just brought it all home when I saw Mags and Brei and so many other couples on the list. Bryan Thomas doing A Case of You was another one that just opened the flood gates. Bry you kill me man and your playing gets better and better. Claudia's collaboration with John and also Marian and Hell's collaboration were just stunning between lyricists and musician and then performer. WoW! Perhaps the best musical moment for me was Nikki playing and singing her ass off (at the same time) on stage. You go girlfriend!! A VERY close second place goes to watching Jack sing with Christina and Henning. Also made pretty weepy. Meeting so many new people and putting faces with the names. The only bad part for me is the time factor. I end up spending all my time with friends from past fests or the musicians or the drunks (not necessarily in that order). A note to all JoniFest newbies-Hang out late will sleep when we're dead! The most fun with my clothes on category was having the honour of playing for the folks who asked me to play for them. Thank you so much Sherelle, Yael, Alison, Donna, and Nikki (with special thanks to Jenny Goodspeed for asking me to work with the acapella group). It's always such a gas playing with the Divine Chuck E on keys and OHMYGAWD Roberto and Chris and Les and Jeff thanks so much for playing with me on my set. It is such a gas for me to play with such gifted musicians (I think next year we should also play with a drummer). Other amazing musical highlights this year were: Les Ross (just wonderful and if I were gay.. Well nevermind), Jack Neilson DUH!, Marian Russell, Claudia (as always what a songwriter beautiful spirit that just spills out of her and surrounds you), Sue Mc (the legend wow we are so blessed to have you and thanks for all your efforts and hard work), Jenny Goodspeed (I was transported by your set. Your playing and everything are growing and blooming out loud), Susan Guzzi (what a freaking joy to hear and feel your power), Giselle YOU BITCH!!! just you wait till I get up on the stage the next time I am gonna roast your ass, but good. Thanks so much for the reverse heckling feel free to use me any time for the BUTT of your jokes. If your jokes were half as good as your playing and singing...and your version of Magdalene Laundries was just off the hook. And after all that teasing (which really did make me laugh so hard) you made me have a big boo hoo as well.) Thanks for the emotional roller coaster ride! Pearl it was a joy to see you get up and I enjoyed your set so much. As I did everyone's. There were some amazing moments from everyone all three nights. I smoked half cigarettes (mostly inside that back room) so I wouldn't miss anything (and also to not get wet the first two nights which is WHY you have a cold Alison!!!!! I hardly talked to anyone to not miss any of the music. BTW Patti W (Thanks for the pick of which I found a few more of the floor) your version of Hejira was mind-blowing and I may just never play that song again thanks to you. Christina and Henning I see nothing but good stuff for you guys. Best of luck with the record! What a voice and NOT so hard on the eyes either. Thanks so much to Kate and Jeff for organizing the song circles every night (especially after stage managing all nights). The was some of the most amazing stuff I hope they at least come out on the video tape (thanks Ashara again) so we can re-live some of that stuff. I was gonna try and see what I got on tape (which was not as complete as last year, but I am pretty sure Les Irvin was on the ball). There was so much other stuff that filled me with joy but I would gush forever. Thank you all so much for all of your support, friendship, love, music, and caring. I reserve the right to write a follow up to this stream when I decompress a bit more and the streaming starts happening again, which will include my trip to Woodstock, under age girls in bars, self medication, and some other of the after hours memorabilia. Till then I bid you all a fond good night and pleasant dreams. Huge BIG BLACK BEAR HUGS TO ALL!!!! Love Michael Paz P.S. Will someone please make sure to call Full Moon and send someone down to the garage/pool table area and tell Victor the fest is over and he can stop playing. Love ya man, but you won this year. I heard you playing long after the sun came up and was forced to my bed. I remember when you passed out on the floor at Ashara's the first year I met you. It's the youngsters that always just can't hang. Right Alison!!!

Warfield, 82, died Sunday at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago where he had been recovering from a fall late last month, his brother Thaddeus Warfield said. An autopsy was pending. Warfield had most recently served as a professor of music at Northwestern University. During his career, the versatile singer and pianist ran the gamut of show business  from stints in churches and nightclubs to performances on stage and screen. In 1952, Warfield performed in "Porgy and Bess" during a tour of Europe sponsored by the U.S. State Department. He played opposite the opera star Leontyne Price. They soon were married but the demands of two separate careers left them little time together. They divorced in 1972. In 1975, Warfield gave a sold-out concert in Carnegie Hall marking the 25th anniversary of his New York debut, and in 1984 he received a Grammy award for his narration of Aaron Copland's "A Lincoln Portrait." Prior to joining Northwestern in 1994, Warfield was the chair of the voice department at the University of Illinois. The son of a Baptist preacher, Warfield was born in the South but grew up in Rochester, N.Y. He earned a degree from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. Warfield is survived by two brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews. ==== Pioneering bass-baritone defined `Ol' Man River' By John von Rhein, Tribune music critic. Tribune theater critic Michael Phillips and Tribune news services contributed to this report Published August 27, 2002 William Warfield, the velvet-voiced American bass-baritone who died Sunday in the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago where he had been recovering from a fall, was a shining example of the human spirit's refusal to bow to the physical challenges of old age. Warfield, 82, sang his final performance little more than a month ago in Cambridge, Mass., where he brought down the house with "Ol' Man River," the Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein song that was his signature. In Warfield's big, still-imposing voice, the line "I'm tired of living and scared of dying" carried an especially poignant resonance. At the time of the concert, he was quoted as saying, "Music will always be a healing refuge, a refuge to which man retreats whenever he needs something beyond himself." He was closely associated with George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" (in which he portrayed Porgy opposite Leontyne Price, to whom he was married) and famously sang "Ol' Man River" in the 1951 MGM film version of "Show Boat." A respected voice teacher later in life, he was chairman of the Voice Department at the University of Illinois before joining the Northwestern University School of Music faculty in 1984 as a part-time voice professor. But even more remarkable was Warfield's success in carving out the beginnings of a notable career at a time when there were relatively few opportunities for African-American singers in classical music. His many accomplishments made him a role model for aspiring black classical musicians. "He was truly devoted to sharing with others what music gave him throughout his life," said Bernard Dobroski, dean of the Northwestern School of Music, where Warfield was due to resume teaching next month. "He was a wonderful man, a wonderful singer and artist," said soprano Camilla Williams, a close friend. "We came along at a time when it wasn't so easy. But he at least had the chance to sing what he sang." With the film version of "Show Boat," Williams said, "People were grateful to hear him sing, whether it was `real' opera or not." Martina Arroyo, another friend and colleague, recalled that her church group made the trip from 154th Street to Midtown in Manhattan to see "Show Boat." When Warfield's rich, roaring rendition of "Ol' Man River" ended, the operatic soprano-to-be said, "It was the first time I'd ever seen an audience stand up and applaud after a number in a movie. The people actually began applauding and standing up." Warfield broke his neck during a fall late last month outside his South Side home. His condition had been improving and he was moved last week from Northwestern Memorial Hospital to the Rehabilitation Institute, said his brother Thaddeus. The cause of death had not been determined, and an autopsy was to be performed Monday, his brother said. In a January 2000 interview with the Tribune, Warfield made no secret of the fact that he loved the attention he was getting at an age when most singers have long since retired. "Why should I quit the stage, anyway? Age has nothing to do with anything. As long as this old voice holds out and I still enjoy it, I'll never stop singing," he said, in that deep oratorical voice that put him in high demand as a narrator for Aaron Copland's "A Lincoln Portrait." During his career, which began more than 50 years ago with his triumphant debut recital in New York's Town Hall, Warfield covered the show business waterfront--from stints in churches and nightclubs to performances on stage and screen. In 1952 Warfield performed opposite Price in "Porgy and Bess" during a tour of Europe sponsored by the U.S. State Department. After they married in 1952, they found that the demands of two careers left them little time together. They divorced in 1972. In a television interview, he recalled, "There was a time when a black artist thought very seriously as to whether or not he or she should perform in `Porgy' or `Show Boat.'" He said that black groups had misgivings that Russia would use the touring "Porgy" production as propaganda to highlight the problem of racism in the United States. "Leontyne and I both had to search our hearts before we decided to do the tour," he said. "But I have to tell you, the tour produced absolutely the opposite reaction. What the foreign press saw and reported, including the Russians, was a group of gifted artists performing an exciting work in an exciting manner." In 1975 Warfield gave a sold-out concert in Carnegie Hall marking the 25th anniversary of his New York debut, and in 1984 he received a Grammy Award. As his trademark, "Ol' Man River" was the song he most often was asked to sing. "It's different every time, and that's what keeps it fresh for me," the singer told the Tribune. "I adapt it to what is on my mind in the course of the day I'm performing. Sometimes there's a sadness to it, sometimes it's really laid-back and sometimes it's even angry. The most difficult time I had with it was singing it just four days after Martin Luther King's assassination. It was a Sunday matinee in a small Midwestern town. I had to hold back my emotion somewhat to keep from breaking down altogether." Warfield's original goal was to become a music teacher, not a singer. Born the son of a Baptist preacher in Arkansas and raised in Rochester, N.Y., he was awarded a scholarship to the Eastman School of Music and interrupted his studies to serve four years in the Military Intelligence Division of the Army. Warfield is survived by two brothers and numerous nieces and nephews. Services will be held in Mt. Vernon Baptist Church in Rochester, possibly Saturday, and he will be buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, his brother said. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2002 #336 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
