Maybe some of you all on here still live like > that. I do not, and I kinda miss it. Ah, Em ... but you CAN, at least for a long weekend! I second Kate's emotion about going to Jonifest, where everyone who wants to indeed DOES spend as much time as they wish holding and playing their guitars (especially Victor the Human Jukebox, who will entertain all who venture into the "lesbian cabin" and the game room and all points between until the sun comes 'round again, and then some -- we have yet to figure out when Victor sleeps). Or they hold and play their keyboards or drums or mandolins or dulcimers or whatever their instrument of choice may be. 'Tis a beautiful thing ... And hey, I'm just a part of the audience! (Well, until it's time for Sugar Pants to perform, then I'll get on stage, if briefly.) Life is short and money grows on trees if you just look for it. C'mon, c'mon!!

I too am a long-time fan of Richard Shindell's music - his discussion list is phenomenally creative with song discussion/analysis. I remembered this topic came up recently and searched the archives - start with the post below (the thread runs about 5 days) and enjoy! http://grassyhill.org/stax/shindell/index.cgi?i=1070573844_rfoxwell Susan http://www.heartsdesireconcerts.com http://www.horseofadifferentcolorbooking.com "I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming Sometimes gets me in trouble too But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming Than I could make them all come true..." ~ Buddy Mondlock ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 01:34:53 -0400 From: Lori Fye Subject: RE: NJC W's Press conference - See, Bree? Richard wrote: > You got it, Patrick. The press conference is stressful but waging a war > under false pretences is a piece of cake. See, Bree? It's obvious that Bushie boy hasn't lost a night's sleep about the WAR ... only about his answers to the "difficult" questions. Seems to me that if Shrub is so convinced of his righteousness, he should've been able to fire back his "truth" without having to think about it. Not only is he one of the most dangerous men on the planet, he is an embarrassment to the U.S. presidency. The citizens of the rest of the world's nations must think we're IDIOTS to have allowed him to assume that office. Lori, disgusted and not amused in the least ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2004 #170 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
