Love it. Anyone else? Steve wrote: > YES!!!! Go see her live - she and David are terrific. I just did, Steve - back in December - I booked tickets to see them with Dr Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys at The Barbican in London - unfortunately Dr Ralph got stuck in a South Carolina snowstorm so Gillian and David Rawlings did the whole concert - Three month's later I'm still thinking about it - her beautiful tone, with David's harmonies and dazzling lead runs cast a very special spell over the audience - I particularly loved the sound (and look) of his small bodied f hole type guitar - do you know the make, Steve? We've just had a great documentary series on BBC2 TV over here called 'Lost Highway' - a history of American country music - starting with The Carter Family (amazing b/w footage of Maybelle and Sara singing 'The Cannon-Ball', filmed out in a wind-blown field somewhere) and ending with Gillian Welch (interview interspersed with concert footage). The BBC have a good website for the series, with links to all the artists featured in the four epidsodes - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/folkcountry/losthighway/ PaulC "There was one of the old banjo players from the Opry - when he first heard Earl Scruggs play the banjo, he said, "Well, I'm just gonna take my banjo home and make a hen's nest out of it."

I am blown away - don't you love that when you *discover* some new music that really speaks to you? I particularly love Annabelle on Revival, so moving. I see she's touring round about in the US in April, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for something in Europe. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Over here, I think the powers that be are more worried that other opportunistic types will take advantage of what's going on elsewhere in the world to further their own weird agendas. Certainly in the last few years bomb threats have gone up, even though there have been few, if any, actual bombs. However threats are enough to cause mass evacuations of entire buildings' worth of people (usually, but not always, gov't buildings). And since 9/11, we have other things to consider apart from the usual fire, flood or gas leak - things none of us would have believed possible before then. Anxiety levels are certainly way up and the drone of flying engines now frightens peope. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 07:24:58 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: NJC Re: FW: Joni marathon in NYC - afterwards In a message dated 3/21/2003 12:41:41 AM Eastern Standard Time, pleader@nyc.rr.com writes: > debra has found, i think, a perfect place to serve as a meeting spot > saturday night after the marathon. i quote: > This totally works for me...I only hope that the OLD guy toting me around can hang.

So far I've not found anyone who can get the signal AND has the equipment AND is able to be home putting in blank cds all day. However, hope springs eternal... One option I have found is a place in NYC that records anything anybody wants, for $200 an hour, which would make it the most expensive Joni covers in existence. The price was lowered to 10% off by the end of the phone conversation. The recording would be on audio cassette and could be for the entire 12-hours or any particular section. So, have any of us die-hard Joni fans won the lottery lately and so willing to spring for this??? Hey, just asking...

He realised that the inner arch of the foot looked a bit like the spine and then discovered pressure points. He called this practice Metamorphosis because of this process of treating an abstract point in time and it having an impact on the life now. He also had a vision on The Black Planet - he thought this was symbol of the beginning of Time. The planet was completely black but lit itself. The planet was efference and the light was afference, the explosion caused the light to implode and enter the space where the planet was and the planet to fill where the light was, thereby creating Space and Time. In his work there are also references to Lemuria and Atlantis. Lemuria he thought to be a very afferent civilisation and its demise was very negative causing efference to pull even further away from afference. We are still holding and expressing from the block caused from this period. Part of this pulling away caused efference to 'split' itself creating male and female. So there you go!...............

(not to mention it was obviously a very painful breakup. there is no similarity between joni's and carly's voices EVER! it's like comparing mozart and yanni i believe "my old man" is about james and in "see you sometime" the "pack your suspenders" part is too telling. also in "for the roses" "remember the days when you used to sit... thru "tossing around your latest golden egg." for that matter i always felt "electricity" was about carly. joni's singing on james "long ago and far away" makes the song. and they both sing backups on c.k's "tapestry" (on a side note, did you ever pick out joni's beautiful singing in the background of david crosby's "lauging?"...especially at the end, the "in the sun" part.) someone a while back quoted the line from "banquet" "humble makes pure"--wasn't that some gas station slogan in the sixties? i believe american or esso used it. it makes sense cause its a descriptive traveling song. "talk to me" is a good song (i saw her do it at a "hissing" era concert) i think "coyote" and "don juan" should alternate on a continuous tape loop forever that's it xxx The most personalized portal on the Web! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 13:33:36 -0800 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: my 2 joni cents walterphil wrote: > "talk to me" is a good song > (i saw her do it at a "hissing" era concert) cool...I would guess that one hasn't been performed much ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 13:56:56 -0800 From: "Lori Fye" Subject: Re: my 2 joni cents "Walterphil" wrote: > someone a while back quoted the line from "banquet" > "humble makes pure"--wasn't that some > gas station slogan in the sixties? > i believe american or esso used it.
