Glad you are enjoying the VG-8. A little hint for you. You can make it sound more acoustic by turning off ALL of the effects delay, chorus, and reverb. It also helps to make the EQ flat on your mixer board or amp. It also does not sound as natural thru a guitar amp so use a keyboard amp or PA or Stereo that will have a wider frequency response.

Am just listening to this whole album(cd) for the first time. I mean I'd heard "Coyote" and maybe more, in the past, but am just now really letting it in. Why do I like "Song For Sharon" so much?... I had to laugh out loud and shake my head at the line: "Well, there's a wide wide world of noble causes And lovely landscapes to discover But all I really want right now Is...find another lover" What gorgeous honesty. Boy does she ever hammer that last line home. The rest is pretty cool too, although the jazz spices are still strange to me, and I tend to reject them for want of some good old sugar and butter and bacon and salt. Forgive me..but this *is* good.... OK so its not just "spices", it's more basic componentry, not just dressing. I dunno. thx for listening :) Em ps I considered putting "NJC" in the subject, cuz its really not about Joni so much but about my impressions of Joni..but then I thought maybe some of the Joni-only folks wouldn't mind listening too, hope its ok. ===== ...........

In order to enable latecomers to the list or new traders have a chance of listening to Bob Muller's incredible compilation of covers of Joni's songs - some 1500 in all - this begins the launch of the Perpetual Joni Covers Trains. For those not familiar with trading trains, here is how they work. When the disks come to you, you make copies of as much of the contents as you want, and then you post back to this list offering to pass the disks along to the next person. You do not keep the originals -- you keep the copies you made for yourself. On most trains, the convention is that you make the copies and send the masters along within two days. For these trains, you must agree to turn them around within one week. Sometimes the offer goes unclaimed. Bob and I expect that to happen from time to time. So, by participating, you agree to just hang on to the disks and then make another offer a month or so later (or to respond if somebody posts a grovel looking for them). In theory, if everybody takes good care of the disks, wrapping them well, not letting them get scratched, etc. and passes them along, these covers will run on the tracks for years. Bob copied 50+ disks for me to launch this and I have copied them so there is a LOT of time sunk into offering these up. Nobody is going to monitor the progress of these trains so if you participate and then lose the disks or fail to reoffer them, you will have kept others from enjoying them. When you post an offer, please include these "rules". One final note, I know a few folks like to compress these into MP3s. If you want to, go ahead but please do not send MP3s to the next person - MP3s permanently delete some of the "data" and sound quality degrades so please pass the masters along. So, anybody who would like to receive volumes 41-50, please send me: 1. Your mailing address and 2. Your promise to reoffer, etc. If you want to know what is on the disks, please see this link: http://www.jmdl.com/covers/byvolume.cfm Enjoy and have a nice weekend, Eric ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 May 2004 17:08:54 -0400 From: Ken Subject: Re: Mitchell Centre I'll open a little shop.

We then went for a walk around our village (in the pouring rain)and then Steph treated everyone to breakfast at our local fabulous pub, (I made a speech and cried (unlike me, I know LOL)and me and 3 mates sang a few tunes and then we came back and I showed them my birthday present - the VG8 courtesy of Mr Paz!
