ALthough it was pretty much a jukebox tour of classic hits, it was amazing! The feeling seeing these two guys on stage together again is indescribable! I thihk there were something like fifty thousand at this concert. I've never been so far from the front before:-) I actually could see nothing on stage, but there were plenty of big screens. My partner, who dislikes S&G almost as much as he dislkes Joni, and some good friends joined me. It was so much fun! There was a lady standing near us; the look of happiness about her was brilliant! They sang just about everything i would have wanted (including Garfunkel helping out on American Tune and Slip Slidin' Away... should ahve evened the score with bright eyes, but no). Garfunkel took the mic for Kathy's Song, intorducing as his vote for Paul's most beautiful song. Admission: first time i ever cried at a concert. The crowd went wild after it. I wish i oculd remember the set list. It included: Old Freinds/Bookends, America, At The Zoo, Feelin Groovy, MRs RObinson, I am A Rock, Leaves that are Green, Hey Schoolgirl (lol, very good), Sound of Silence, The Boxer, Bridge over troubled water, Baby Driver, Only Living Boy In NY, Keep the customer satisified, feeling groovy (twice), cecilia, scaraborough fair, El condor pasa, Hazy shade of winter, Homeward bound. No song for the asking, frank lloyd wright, or for emily whereever i may find her but i should not complain - i am very grateful that i got to expereince this, with great company to boot. The Everly Brohters were brought on during the set and sang Wake Up Little Susie, Dream, and something else. Then S&G joined them for Bye Bye Love. S&G always seem to be painted as a duo with a power struggle going on: Simon being the driving force, the spotlight seeker. Not really sure of their history. But Garfunkel really took centre stage doing most of the talking and joking etc. Paul Simon rocked out on his guitar but let Garfunkel take the lead. i hope some others from the list got to see them too.

I'm so in love with that song right now, words and music. I find it extremely successful. When Joni says that different instrumentations and ways of production invoke different "colors", I usually can't see it. To me its mostly just murky. But on that cut its just brilliant. I wish that song went on and on. I wish it went on and on kinda like SD's "AJA". I would listen! I would love to retreat into the somewhat familiar (to me as a painter) world of her turbulent indigo. But it's really neat, too, as a short little "bloodied in the wheatfields" kind of comment too. BLESS her for that.

Well, they are singers trying to sell records. And let's face it, unless you are buying a record from a well known song writer, most of the buying public buy songs they already know. Faced with that, it is more likely they would choose BSN over Beat of Black Wings.

And of course, some of the (40) GPPH covers do include Joni's lyric so they're legit Joni covers.

NJC on a more serious note, don't you feel blessed for having reached 46? So many don't get 46 days let alone 46 years. I know I do. Each day is a bonus. We never know when we will get booted out. I amazed that i reached this age and feel very fortunate. So i enjoy it the best i can. The older I ge the more me I become and I really get a kick out of that. Gone are the days i'd be whatever I felt was wanted. I have gone from someone who couldn't stand being alone to now prefering my own company. From someone who didn't have an opinion cos I wanted to be liked too much to someone who knows being liked is not important. Who now knows that living with integrity is the most important thing and that being hated for who i am is preferable to being loved for who i am not. I am grateful to have been around long enough to discover these things. Up till i was 40, i just wished life would end. Now I just enjoy it too much and there are too many things I want to do before I graduate. Still no matter what i want, my time will come when it comes -next minute, day or week or 40 years from now. Who knows? So I don't waste my time however long that will be. - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 18:34:50 -0400 From: "Richard Flynn" Subject: RE: a rumor about Lori.....

NJC HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. So, be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 19:36:20 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: a rumor about Lori.....

Even though there are days I can't stand myself, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be than me (LOL). Sometimes I think there are things I'd like to go back and change, if I could, but then I think of the other repercussions of that and also realize, sometimes it takes a while for some of us to get the point. Reincarnation sounds like a pretty good idea but, if the point is to learn from a past life, how come no one ever remembers it? Maybe I'd make the same mistakes over again, maybe not. Regardless, you can't change the past, but you can't dwell there either. By the way, you two are just wee pups compared to some of us, although I don't want to start that business up again.

I've always believed that anyway, but I read an article a few days ago about a study showing that IQ goes up when kids learn an instrument or learn to sing. I'm sure there have been other studies, but this just happens to have been in the paper very recently. A U of Toronto prof is publishing a study in next month's journal Psychological Science, showing that taking piano or voice lessons can raise IQ. I'm sure it's true of any instrument. Learning to play an instrument, or to sing, uses so many different parts of the brain, it's just amazing. http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20040716/HMUSIC16//?query=Schellenberg > Anyway, might be nice when we all get old & > forgetful - every thread would > sound fresh and new! > Er, can anyone tell me what SIQUOMB means? ===== 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: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 22:14:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Songs for Sharin' (Bad Joni pun) - --- Richard Flynn wrote: > We really are sharin' some great music on the > file-sharin' site.
