I will always remember what a thrill it was to see Springsteen. And by a stroke of luck last year when I saw the Stones at USCF I found the perfect seats at my beautiful ballpark for a concert - the club section - and made sure I had tickets for there again tonight. It was just ideal - a great place to sit, the ballpark is so beautiful, the place I probably feel most at home in (more so than my own home), and what a great setting for the E Street Band - just a perfect night. Bruce cannot hold a candle to the Stones in terms of merchandizing... not even close to Eminem - which was good for me because I planned to buy only 1 concert shirt and I stuck to that, much to the shock of the people I went with who have seen that promise broken many times! I have been worried that Bruce was watering himself down politically - I doubt we will ever hear him introduce This Land is Your Land again, accurately, as he does on the Live 75-85 set, as a rebuttal to the horrid God Bless America - but he did make what he called "my public service announcement" that it is imperitive that we hold public leaders responsible for what they say... yeah Bruce!!! Which I found perfectly right on the same week that the defense department very quietly stated that those two mysterious trucks for probable mobile WOMD that were all the rage last spring were actually used to make hydrogen for weather ballons - one more set of fantasies and pr spin exposed - if you missed the story, last Sunday's Chicago Tribune, first section, page 10 - enough of me, I need to sleep and will fall asleep to wonderful Bruce memories from tonight - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 08:00:25 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: NJC Re: Long report on JoniFest > A special thanks to Walt who played "Down To You" for me, on that old > white piano on the front porch with the sticking keys, > while I and a few others > sang along and I turned the pages on the book for him. Kenny, I had the joy of watching you from the other side of the porch while this was going on, and knowing how much you love this song it was awesome to witness. And as for the white piano, one of my favorite moments was singing those classic Bacharach-David songs with Chuck E tinkling the ivories. "What The World Needs Now" really felt like a prayer for these troubled times. Speaking of awesome, I really enjoyed getting to know you, even playing our silly ice-breaker game that Miranda & Ashara made us do.

I saw Shawn in concert in a Chapel at Case Western in Cleveland back in 90 and she played solo for nearly 3 hours and was amazing. I've also seen Patty as Slim's in San Francisco and she is fantastic live. Looking forward to seeing Dar, and I hope she plays that Peter Pan song you all seem to love. My favorite of hers is called "The End of Summer," so I hope she plays that, too! I've just settled into a great apartment in historic German Village in Columbus, and anyone who needs a place to crash if they want to come to the Columbus concert is certainly welcome. There is a cozy guest bedroom (the music room where I keep my keyboards and guitar), and any list member would be welcome here! I'm loving all the Jonifest reports, and will be eligible for vacation time from my new job when Jonifest rolls around next year! And for all of those who are in transition or unemployed, keep the faith. My job search took an entire year. Though it was very hard being unemployed, waiting for the right thing has seemed to finally pay off.

The quick summary is: for those that remember the descriptions of last year's fest, this one was even better. Last year for me was characterised by spending lots of time chilling on the front porch with a whole collection of wonderful people. This year it was different - I seemed to be playing an awful lot, hence a lot of time was taken with rehearsing. So, standouts? Well before I do that, I'll say that I'm bound to miss people or events out - my short term memory leaves a lot to be desired. But here goes anyway. The bus trip to and from the Full Moon was great fun this year, there being a crowd of us going both ways. And Victor with his travel scrabble and dictionary of improbably valid two-letter words. As usual, the venue and the food were both great, and the staff were always eager to help out if we needed anything. It was great to meet friends old and new, and it seemed way less than a year since I last saw everyone. The beyond-the-call-of-duty award goes to Ron Greer who made the trip from South Africa to be there. The how-on-earth-did-you-swing-that award goes to our youngest lister, Rachel, who at 14 managed to persuade both her and her parents to come to the 'fest. The performances were something else again: so much talent in one room - truly amazing. To everyone that got up on stage, a round of applause. It's truly a brave thing to do. As with last year, Jack Neilson dazzled us with his performance - rarely have I seen such an engaging performer. Giselle was a total riot, with a seemingly inexhaustable supply of songs to sing. Thanks for the Fleetwood Mac. Victor hit us with a solo broadway piece that left us all floored - you're doing that again next year, right? Bob Muller also gave us a stunning rendition of Ethiopia... stunning enough to make me think of revisiting *that* 80s Joni CD... Susan Guzzi gave us Norah's Don't Know Why with *such* a soulful voice - words fail me, but if that voice wasn't meant to sing that song, then I'm a dutchman. That segues me neatly onto John's other half - Claudia. Another lovely set with that lovely lovely voice of hers. There's tons of other people I'm forgetting right now - I'll take a look at the performance schedule and write more later. I was also honoured to be asked to play with so many people - thankyou one and all. It was an absolute pleasure. I had a blast playing so much different material with so many cool and talented people. Can't wait for next year when we can do it all again. Finally - to misquote Douglas Adams - so long, and thanks for all the hugs. - --Chris Marshall chrisAThatstand.org (AIM: Chr15Marshall) "If you're ever lost, I'll beat the world to finding you" Stryngs, "Bobblehats and Beer" Band website, with downloads, at http://www.stryngs.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 15:53:57 -0700 From: "Victor Johnson" Subject: Jeff Buckley reissue of "Live at Sine"(njc) Live at Sine is being rereleased with 21 tracks instead of the original 4! release date - Sept 2nd whoohoooo...one of my favorite recordings from Mr. Buckley Victor Johnson New cd "Parsonage Lane" available now Produced by Chris Rosser at Hollow Reed Studios, Asheville http://www.waytobluemusic.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:38:36 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Jeff Buckley reissue of "Live at Sine"(njc) In a message dated 8/14/2003 6:53:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time, waytoblu@mindspring.com writes: > Live at Sine is being rereleased with 21 tracks instead of > the original 4!

You're right Colin! I just got a phone call from David Mingus. He and David Rolls went to NYC after Jonifest and they are still there. He didn't know what was going on, so I had to tell him that it was just a MAJOR blackout, and thank goodness it wasn't any act of terrorism. On the television, it looks like a scene from "The World, the Flesh, and the Devil" (one of my fav sci fi movies). I guess The Full Moon is blacked out too, but we had a good time anyway.

She was practically salivating for that dulcimer and I just smiled. Sure enough, ten minutes later, she was taking a private lesson right there on the front porch, way up in the Catskill Mountains. Another moment: When veteran after Joni veteran got up on the Performance Space stage and made jaws drop, I looked over to see Bob S'es face. He had the same "transfixed" look that I had last year when Sherelle claimed "Edith and the Kingpin" for herself. [Muller, I know you won't be mad that I'm cross-posting this to the mother ship. I want the general population to become aware of how special these weekends are.] Lama From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com [mailto:SCJoniGuy@aol.com] > My 2 favorite parts of any fest are meeting new people for the first time and listening to the evening performances. So many amazing moments as always - many that brought tears to me eyes; to see 14-year old Rachel playing with Stryngs, and assimilating instantly with them was just a summation of what the whole fest experience is about. This thing was more international than ever which really rocked, and intergenerational too. Probably 50+ years between the youngest & the oldest and guess what it mattered not one bit.> ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 23:13:17 -0400 From: "Heather" Subject: RE: power cuts njc Ya know, the news says Connecticut does not have power but we do. We experienced a power surge which screwed some things up, like our security system and university networks. We are okay now (at least the southern part of the state).

You're right Colin! I just got a phone call from David Mingus. He and David Rolls went to NYC after Jonifest and they are still there. He didn't know what was going on, so I had to tell him that it was just a MAJOR blackout, and thank goodness it wasn't any act of terrorism. On the television, it looks like a scene from "The World, the Flesh, and the Devil" (one of my fav sci fi movies). I guess The Full Moon is blacked out too, but we had a good time anyway. On a brighter note, Mingus told me that while in NYC, they were standing at a street corner a couple of days ago, and spotted Les Ross across the street. What a small world. Jimmy, hoping the N.E. gets electricity back. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 23:18:24 -0400 From: "Heather" Subject: RE: Clouds -- NJC crotches inebriated moll .... yes, ossifer that's what she did say. heather - no more wine for me. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]On Behalf Of Murphycopy@aol.com Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 9:23 PM To: hell@ihug.co.nz; emilianopd@mundo-r.com; joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: Clouds -- NJC Hell writes: << can anyone say "notches liberation doll"?! >> Click click . . .

They had to wait a bit longer during "Sunny Day" when the lights went out onstage, making for a marathon version of the song. As the band kept playing, Bruce messed around with some flashlights and brought the crowd-participation bit back around three times until the lights finally came back on. That (along with the three reprises of "Dancing in the Dark") may help explain why, at 25 songs, the show lasted three hours and ten minutes. Setlist notables were "Adam Raised a Cain" to open, "Working on the Highway" (rather than the setlisted alternate "Spirit in the Night") "Backstreets," "Where the Bands Are," and an audible "Seven Nights to Rock." Setlist: Adam Raised a Cain/The Rising/Lonesome Day/Prove It All Night/My Love Will Not Let You Down/Empty Sky/You're Missing/Waitin' on a Sunny Day/Working on the Highway/Worlds Apart/Badlands/Out in the Street/Mary's Place/Backstreets/Into the Fire/No Surrender First Encore: Where the Bands Are/Bobby Jean/Ramrod/Born to Run/Seven Nights to Rock Second Encore: My City of Ruins/Land of Hope and Dreams/Rosalita/Dancing in the Dark ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 00:26:17 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2003 #401 On Septermber 14, I'll be doing a walk for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, whose goal is to "improve the overall survival rate and quality of life for ovarian cancer survivors."
