You wrote: "for some it seems as if it is easiest to just shut down the gates (of the mind) to keep out the stuff they don't understand (when indeed understanding would lead to acceptance)..." I agree! Very nicely stated. This type of understanding is also needed toward those with varying religious beliefs. In my studies of world religions I have noticed more love than fear. Have you read Scott Peck's book The Different Drum? It's a book about peace, about obtaining peace. I like his suggestion of finding people who are different from myself and getting to know them. People with different beliefs from my own are a great place to start I've found. I've got some very conservative, fundamentalist religious friends in addition to my normal set of pretty liberal friends. It's been mind opening and good. Also, I work at a medical school which is an incredibly mixed international environment. Over the years I've developed very close friendships at work with people from China, Iceland, Syria, Japan, Turkey, Poland, Russia, India, and Taiwan, etc. All I consider to be my dear friends. It makes the world seem so small and united to have these friends. It has been awesome to get 5 or so of us together and discuss things. So many different perspectives and beliefs! So much love!

Wally, An "assist" (in basketball) is when a player passes the ball to another player who scores a basket. It's a way to reward a player statistically who might not score as much but has the ability to set up his or her teammates to score points. My son's varsity basketball season kicks off tonight. He loves assists, he'd almost rather get them than baskets.

NJC hi martin >Would it sound a bit pompous for us to > describe ourselves that way? If we could only convey that idea, but inject a > little humour viz 'country noir'. i think generally categorising ones own music is pretty much a lose / lose thing. if you use one of the accepted labels no one knows what your music is, & if you make one up it comes across as a bit pretentious :-) humour would probably let you label yourself without that stigma. now - a kinda humorous but still serious label to describe your music. ahh, the frustration, and strings has got such a humorous/quirky way of expressing herself............. so lets look at the lyrics page (the cds in my car & oh wow does that fretless bass sound amazing through that nice big 12 inch subwoofer) well there aint too many lyrics to pick from on your website (& you really ought to fix that!!!!)

My daughter had driven down from Connecticut to visit and she was treating me to dinner. she knows how much I love Joni so she just sat there and giggled at me! Joni was playing her V-8 and it sounded fantastic! Believe it or not, I have never seen her live but I don't feel deprived in any way. Her music fills me up so much and as I have said in the past, in my opinion, live for Joni doesn't get any better than Shadows and Light. I think the broadcast was taken from "Painting with Words and Music". Was that the special that so many of our Jonilistas attended? I think the date on the video was 1998. Help me out here!

(Conversation - Joni) Hello, All - Wow, where do I begin? - the Joni Tribute Night Saturday, November 22, 2003 at The Main Street Cafe in Homestead, FL was a phenomenal success! I had extended the invitation to Pearl and Mingus a few weeks ago and was absolutely thrilled when they RSVPed in the positive, and even brought their significant others - it's always wonderful to put faces to names and to share something with those who feel equally heartfelt. I have a standing front and center table at Main Street - it was my pleasure to have them join me, my husband and friend Nancy for the festivities. We gathered together to celebrate the 60th birthday of an accomplished musician/songwriter/poet/painter/genius - to many of us, there is Joni... and then there is everyone else... :-) Big thanks go out to Laurie Oudin and Laura Sue, the Silver Nightingale for having the idea to do this Joni Tribute. We all three (separately) watched and were inspired by the American Masters special, Woman of Heart and Mind. When they came to me many months ago with the concept and asked if I'd like to participate, I suggested doing it in November for Joni's 60th birthday. I was honored to emcee the event and perform two of Joni's songs (Woman of Heart and Mind and Last Time I Saw Richard) as spoken word pieces - I asked forgiveness in advance for whatever historical/sociological errors/omissions I made during the course of this evening (and there were a few!). I introduced myself as Susan Moss, a Joni-holic - I discovered Joni's music in high school (1968-72) and my line/joke of many years is that my then-boyfriend (now husband) and I Courted and Sparked to Blue... :-) Researching/compiling the between-song factoids/trivia, I felt as if I were back in college writing a term paper - the amount of reference material is overwhelming and I realized there was no way in hell I could cover everything (d*mmit!). I touched on highlights such as SIQUOMB, Little Green adoption/reunion, the Miles of Aisles Mick Jagger/Richard Nixon/Gomer Pyle fan comment, her bout with polio and resultant weird tunings/"chords of inquiry", her decision to miss Woodstock so as to appear on the Dick Cavett show, the many men in Joni's life, other artists who were influenced by Joni, the use of Joni-isms in everyday language (paved paradise, starmaker machinery, back to the garden), her mastery of language in her song lyrics, Joni's various Grammys and Hall of Fame Awards, etc. I promoted websearching of www.jonimitchell.com and www.jmdl.com... I still own Joni's first fourteen *albums* and brought them Saturday night to decorate the back wall of the stage - unfortunately, the duct tape only lasted most of the way through the first set, whereupon they began dropping like flies!

Before we kicked into the last song with all the participating artists (and the audience), I paraphrased Ms. Mitchell herself: We've looked at Joni from all sides now from up and down from give and take from win and lose it's Joni's wisdom we recall we really don't know anyone... who's her equal... :-) I then asked everyone to raise a glass to toast Joni Mitchell, a Woman of Heart and Mind, and help us sing Happy Birthday - I repeat, what a night! Pearl/Steve and Mingus/David: thanks again for being there (rearranging your schedules and driving over 4 hours round-trip, respectively) - after sharing such a special evening with you all, we must stay in touch (when's the South Florida Joni-Fest? :-) Susan http://www.heartsdes ireconcerts.com http://www. horseofadifferentcolorbooking.com "I want to be strong, I want to laugh along I want to belong to the living Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive..." ~ Joni Mitchell ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 16:31:29 -0500 From: "Maggie McNally" Subject: RE: Yesssssssss!!! njc This reminds me of how I felt when the Tour de France was over (I'm addicted) and when this year's fall playoffs were over for me as a Red Sox fan.

There are Karaoke GROUPS? I thought that was just something that drunks did at bars and in people's basements. What a sheltered life I lead. How do you do karaoke karaoke?
