From interviews i've read, Letham considers "FoS" his magnum opus, but I think "Motherless" will be remembered long after "FoS."

DISCO? NJC Now disco is something I do know about. Most of these songs are not and were not good to dance to. Rubberband Man-no way to dance to that one. And where are the real disco hits? The songs that were great to dance to? Cheryl Lynn-Got to Be Real , The Village People-San Francisco , Undisputed Truth-You+Me , Donna Summer-Last Dance, Don't Leave Me This Way-Thelma Houston , -- just to name a few. Whoever made up this list didn't spend a lot of time on the dance floor. Most of these tunes listed here are r and b but they ain't disco, not even close. mack ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 22:21:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Susan Guzzi Subject: Re: joni 45's Hey just wanted to chime in on this 45 thread. As luck or syncronicity would have it, my girlfriend emailed me this sight today. She is a bookdealer, but this sight does music as well. So I typed in Joni and got 20 pages of new and used Joni. Some are way over priced - IMHO, especiallly that certain least favorite album of mine. There are several of the 45's here for sale. But the cool thing for vinyl fans is there are some NEW copies here. Also even if you are not a vinyl fan - it may be cool to have the full sized covers of many of these - depending on their condition. One thing I found here was the "Grace of My Heart" soundtrack, with the Joni version of "Man From Mars." The seller claims it was the mistakenly released version - although it credits Kristen Vigard on the cover. Some of the 45's or 7inch releases, as they are referred to, are; Raised on Robbery, Come in From the Cold, Peoples Parties, Good Friends, Help Me, Shiny Toys, Chinese Cafe, Night Ride Home, Dry Cleaners From Des Moines and In France They Kiss On Main Street, among others. Also a "Free Man In Paris" demo was listed. So check it out - most are in the US or Canada - but several in the UK, Germany and Austria. As far as the sleeves go only a few mentioned that there were. http://www.alibris.com/home-music.cfm?S=R I have no experience with the site or any of the sellers - so buyer beware. However, as I said, my girlfriend uses this site to deal books - although it is secondary to her number one site which I am under no circumstances allowed to disclose - LOL!

Bob answered: I myself have never owned a Joni 45; the only times I bought 45 was when there was a non-LP b-side, and even though Urge For Going satisfied that criteria I was not such a Joni completist at that time. But Joni did release a lot of singles - sadly there's not a good discography of her work anywhere that I've ever seen. But here are some of her 45's: You're So Square, Baby I Don't Care/Love Big Yellow Taxi/Woodstock (also released w/Carey as a B-side) Boho Dance/In France They Kiss On Main Street California/A Case of You Carey/This Flight Tonight Carey (live)/Jericho (live) Chelsea Morning/Both Sides Now Chelsea Morning/Fiddle And The Drum Chinese Cafe/Ladies Man Cold Blue Steel/Blonde In The Bleachers Court & Spark/Raised On Robbery Coyote/Blue Motel Room Dry Cleaner From Des Moines/same Free Man In Paris/People's Parties Good Friends/Smokin' Help Me/Free Man In Paris (also Just Like This Train as a b-side) Jericho/Dreamland Night In The City/I Had A King Shiny Toys/The Three Great Stimulants Underneath The Streetlights/Be Cool You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio/Urge For Going and you know there may be more - but this is enough to fill up the wurlitzer! Many of them did have some nice picture sleeves too. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 22:41:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Susan Guzzi Subject: Re: Did Joni influence the Brady Bunch?? OK Bill ... being the Joni Freak I am and a Brady Bunch afficionado - I will respond to your question. YES! YES ! YES! How obvious is it that Greg Brady ripped Joni off!? Hey Greg - if the suit fits - wear it! I remember that episode quite clearly and have had that thought cross my mind every time I see it. Another line from the song was "Clowns never laughed before" - well not until they heard this song. Also not sure about the exact line you mention being verbatem, but it does ring of Joni Brady's Circle-ish Game-ish writing. ;) Peace, Susan (also in Illinoize ... Chicago!) bill johnson wrote: I realize its barely JC and may seem like a crackpot idea, but here it goes....Ive always thought that Joni had an influence on the "Johnny Bravo" episode. In an early scene in that show Greg was shown playing/singing in the boys room (with the groovy bunk beds). His "original" song, if I remember right, had lines about painted ponies on a merry-go-round........very Circle Gamish!!!! Does anyone remember that episode better than me and can prove or disprove my theory? Bill from IL, who wonders if Gamish is a word?? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2004 02:06:21 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: June 20 On June 20 the following article was published: 1998: "Back to the Garden" - Addicted To Noise website (News Item) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=24 ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2004 #276 ***************************** ------- 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?
