(I know the line is reef around me, but I can't help but chuckle at this...)

But the fact that we didn't isn't because of sexual dysfunction on my, ahem, part. I performed beautifully. Susan just didn't notice. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 15:19:36 -0800 (PST) From: Jenny Goodspeed Subject: love actually I know this isn't news, but I just got back from seeing Love Actually and the Joni moments were so grand, I had to write to tell everyone to go see it for those moments alone! Unfortunately the movie itself was not so grand. Unless you're a big fan of unrequited romantic love between young gorgeous women with exquisite skin and men 5 to 20 years older with considerably more wrinkles. ; ) did have a very good Altman-sized cast though. enjoy, jenny Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 18:57:43 EST From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: Mj njc In a message dated 11/20/2003 3:24:35 PM Eastern Standard Time, kate@katebennett.com writes: > Apparently they held a mondo press conference at the local fairgrounds > concerning the latest allegations which is why they raided his > place...but ya'll probably know more than me on this :~} > Yes Kate, it doesn't look good for Michael right now, and I hope the accusations are false. If they are true, I think that justice would be having the king of pop and Rush Limbaugh sharing the same cell. Jimmy ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 00:58:23 +0100 From: "Laurent Olszer" Subject: Joni on french TV Hi Laurent, and I see you've copied out friend Thierry on the message! One way to introduce Joni to a wider French audience is to have French musicians cover her songs, like Thierry does on his website - check it out: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/yoghill/ThArecs.htm Besides the excellent guitar work and Thierry's wonderful voice, check out which Joni songs he does - Hoo Ha!! Bob Hi, The Joni segment on TV just ended. Middle of the road commentary. A couple of excerpts, 1 stupid IMO: "Blue was her masterpiece and then she tried getting out of depression by exploring other musical styles". The other one I like better: "Mingus was an amazing and misunderstood album". Also the reporter mentioned Joni fought off cancer successfully. I didn't know about that. I asked Thierry if he could transcribe DED and the man did it! He's waiting for me to try playing it on guitar to send his work to JMDL guitar database. Amazing.

NJC Yeah Bob, it's that snappy phrase that's evading us. "Adult Contemporary" is probably close, but not very snappy :) Catherine's suggestion 'Jarofopo' has a snap! But we'll then have to explain that too... hurrumph :( To be serious, I'm not sure how much jazz we have (considering I don't know the first thing about jazz harmony). But I do see that there is folk, rock and pop in there. So I suppose folk/rock/pop. Still sounds boring though. OK, Jarofopo it is then!! Martin. In London. HEY Azeem?? You've got the album now.

I have a few singers, etc. that I constantly search on the web regarding available music, etc., one of which is an all-time fave (go ahead laugh if you must) Brenda Lee. I was surprised when I came across this: Sat 08/07/04 "Judy Collins Wildflower Festival" Wild Flower Amphitheatre Sat 08/07/04 Brenda Lee Wild Flower Amphitheatre This is in White Mills, Pennsylvania. Has anyone ever been to this "Wildflowers" festival before, and is it an annual thing? Here are a couple more Judy related items that may interest the Judy fans out there: Fri, 11/21/2003 Judy Collins Speaking Engagement Evansville Museum of Arts and Science Evansvile, IN Fri, 6/18/2004 Old Man River Gala Speaking Engagement and book signing Oklahoma City, OK "Wildflowers" was my first Judy album, of course for "Both Sides Now" and holds a special place for me. Hope this info may interest some of you! Best regards, Gary Zack Detroit P.S.

But we'll then have to explain that too... > hurrumph :( Never apologize. Never explain. Shorten it to jaro. Put an accent (grave) on the o, so it's pronounced jaRO. People will think it's exotic, maybe Portuguese or something. You will have invented a new kind of music. Everyone will want to listen to it. ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 22:37:47 EST From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: Spanish names NJC In a message dated 11/20/2003 10:05:29 PM Eastern Standard Time, wallykai@fibertel.com.ar writes: > lanza brazo fuerte NO CLUE! > Wally, that's Lance Armstrong the American cyclists who's won the last few Tour DE France races.

I got the following in a house concerts-related e-mail . . . Love the CD title: We are also delighted to have Michigan based Terry Gonda (www.terrygonda.com) to open the show in a rare New England appearance. Terry is one of those performers who instantly grabs your attention with her gorgeous voice, passionate lyrics and accomplished guitar playing. She will have pre-release copies of her new CD, Love, Lose, Repeat that I expect to will be getting a lot of attention when it's released. In addition to her original material, the CD features a killer covers of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now and Karla Bonoff's Home. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 22:00:22 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: 40 watt successes njc >Bear with me as I try to find my footing here on the list.
