I was all set to see it last weekend when I stopped by Starbucks and ran into two friends, both of whom swore to me that the film has "no redeeming value" or is "undbelievably violent" (so I went to see Rabbit-Proof Fence instead). Gangs is the sort of film I enjoy, generally, but, honestly, I don't want to waste $5-10 on something awful or repulsive.

To see a word like "priviledge" printed as part of a Joni Mitchell album's liner notes really hurts. Holy crap (how's that for bad writing?)! I didn't notice that one. I read through the liner notes with hopes there would be no errors, after being distressed by the number of dumb errors on TTT. Proofreading is a lost art. It used to actually be a profession, until desktop publishing came along and everyone using it became both a graphic designer and an editor, while excelling at neither. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 20:36:06 -0800 (PST) From: Susan Guzzi Subject: Re: Stryngs - sample tracks on web (finally) (NJC) Hey Azeem! Can't keep away from Phoebe the past week, since you brought her up! Glad you're rediscovering that first one Azeem. And "Harpo's Blues" - a possibility for Joni fest 2003! If I can find someone to play for me -hint! Not to worry Bree still considering your suggestion as well! Hint again! Diana Krall - East of the Sun! Guess I'll be doing a jazzier set this year - Love me or leave me/ Nina Simone? Feeling a little jazzed up after a "few" martinis.

I had braces when I was a teen, and they wanted to cut open the gums and slice something inside, otherwise when the braces are taken off, the teeth can move back to where they were somewhat. Slicing these things in the gums stops them moving back. Needless to say, I got shit scared and didn't have it done. The dentist at the time said they were "experimenting on rats" with the procedure. >>>A few weeks ago in the mail, I received a catalog..in this catalog was a ointment..I forget the properties of this ointment..but this ointment fattens your lips.

A friend of mine bought some - it's quite expensive for the small bit you get. It has natural things in it like cinnamon etc, which make the lips tingle and which are supposed to make them more alluring and slightly bigger. Joseph http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

You all should have been at Ric's faboo gathering tonight. But before I tell you about how wonderful it all was, I thought I'd fill you in on something interesting that happened at the dinner table . . . The checks for Jonifest 2003 were flying! Ashara (AKA SIQUOJF, She Is Queen Undisputedly OF Joni Fests) was there. And as soon as she mentioned that she was accepting deposits for JF 2003, a lot of check books suddenly appeared.(Sorry, Jimmy. The private room with the bidet and Barbie's Makeup Mirror is gone.) Anyway, I just wanted to remind people that this is the time to get the Jonifest accommodations you want. Wait much longer and you'll probably have to sleep under me! Tonight at Ric's was sublime. More on that later, because it's 1:30 in the morning here. But the short version is that Ric and Roberto and Ashara and Patrick and Maggie and Chuck and Barbara and I had a terrific time. While a winter storm was slopping all kinds of cold, wet stuff outside Ric's beautiful home in a quaint seaside town north of Boston, we sat around the fire and had drinks and hors d'oeuvres and talk and lots of hugs and laughs, of course. Then dinner! My, that Ric can cook! Delicious broiled salmon with a mustard glaze and perfect rice and a salad we all fought over. And dessert! An almond-flour cake smothered in creme fraiche and different kinds of fresh berries! I kept waiting for Ric to offer me thirds! Seriously, these times when I get together with the friends I've made through this list have come to mean a lot to me. So next time there's a gathering of JMDLers in your neck of the woods, GO! And remember, if you want to experience the Super Bowl of JMDL events, make plans to come to Jonifest 2003 NOW, before the accommodations you want are gone! Good night, - --Bob NPIMH: In Canada Where they treat you like a queen In Canada Where people are never mean (Thanks for the laughs, Roberto!

I listened on the super-duper dell at work and the samples sound great! I'd never have imagined Strings has such a pleasantly low and sultry singing voice. Really wonderful! My favorite song is the last one (beautiful delicate guitar work!) with the first as a close second. Thanks for the website tweaking, Chris. I tried again on my home machine and each MP3 opens up now right away in RealPlayer, so I had the very pleasant experience of listening to them all again. You said the cd will be available soon???
