It looks like it will be considerably more expensive than the Full Moon, and is much further away from the UK of course. When you take in to account the travelling costs, even the Full Moon works out pretty steep from the UK. For me, it's just a bit too much, and a bit too far away to be able to justify to myself, and my bank manager. I'll be miserable at not being there, but hey .. .. on the other hand, Laurant has come up with the French alternative, which is nearly on my doorstep, relatively. I could drive there in a day or two! Like the Full Moon, it looks like the venue is set in fabulous countryside. I could afford to combine the trip into a longer holiday in the region. I don't think it's a bad idea to have both next year though. Those who can afford both can go to both. Those who can't, can go to the one of their choice. They will be very different experiences, so there'll be plenty to talk about on the list. There doesn't have to be one big festival per year for everyone IMO.

The NOJ&HF show is fairly common but I know the CD-R copy I received long ago had at least 1 cassette generation - this is from a straight up DAT clone. The Minneapolis show I'm not sure about, it was new to me and I know a certain someone on here didn't know about it before I mentioned it. ;) So, my offer is for either flac or CD audio, you may download the flacs from me via FTP, or you can receive either or both of the shows in CD audio or flac via B&P. Please, do not torrent either of these shows on easytree.org or sharingthegroove.org (if it ever comes back), if you want to host them on the DC server, go ahead. I say this because there's been a recent rash of shows being offered on easytree that have subsequently been put on ebay. I will be looking on both sites regularly to make sure they don't show up on there. Below are the text files for both shows. Please email me privately if you are interested.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL Words by Katharine Lee Bates O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law! O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife. Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for halcyon skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the enameled plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till souls wax fair as earth and air And music-hearted sea! O beautiful for pilgrims feet, Whose stem impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till paths be wrought through wilds of thought By pilgrim foot and knee! O beautiful for glory-tale Of liberating strife When once and twice, for man's avail Men lavished precious life! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till selfish gain no longer stain The banner of the free! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till nobler men keep once again Thy whiter jubilee! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Let's take our country back!

One of the founding members of our group on Laura Nyro, at www.utne.com/cafe is a toronto lady. She had this to say upon meeting Joni. Not only did she meet her, but also was seen on Canadian Television as Joni was being interviewed. I always loved the correation between Joni and Laura. They were the east/west connective tissue. I adore Joni for all the reasons I adore Laura. Two of the most amazing singer songwriters of our time. Laura was the flower, and joni is the sage. Here is Susan (Tenda) as we call her, report about her Joni Encounter..... I got to Redpath Hall five minutes before the end of the afternoon panel at 3:30 - I'd have to wait until 4pm before the last part the Roundtable...everyone got up to go out side for a break...and in comes Joni Mitchell from a side door followed by a stream of cameras and reporters and journalists...boom mikes. She looked stunning - red blouse and sleevless top red and grays and blacks...a very fashion statement skirt and red shoes ...kinda like Dorothy from the Wizard... She was immediately surrounded by the media ..at this point people came back into the room hearing that she had showed up ... I think due to my grief...I wasn't quite in a normal state of mind... I walked slowly over toward herandgot myself positioned right behind her and a little to the left...she couldn't see me...I was the only non-media person in the group...every one had a mike or a camera and asked her questions...the usual stuff...finally the dean who was with her said , "Okay that's the last question, we need to start the round table now"...and at that moment I stepped forward and touched her arm (her blouse was like a very soft red crinkly crape paper that you would find at a kids party table) in fact I didn't just touch her arm I kinda gently rubbed it with my index finger...and at the same time I said her name..."Joni" and she turned around and looked right at me with a very open and receptive look.... So here's what I said, "Joni...did you ever get to spend any time with Laura Nyro" and Joni said looking into my eyes..."Yes I did - I spent some times (and she specified it as plural) with Laura and she smiled. Then I asked her, "Did you like her?" And Joni replied, " Yes I liked Laura...and we had times together...but the way Laura was you know...and I nodded ...she was a strange girl...it wasn't easy to get to know her...she didn't let you in too easily...and the time I spent with her ...it was strange...but certainly NOT alienating...and she smiled and really looked into me...you know...and I nodded yes ...I knew...then I sort of went brain blank and was just smiling at Joni...and then they took her away... but it was a beautiful moment...truely... I canceled my last class tonight ...so I could go to the convacation...how lovely it was ...Joni giggled alot ...she had to sit beside the chancellor...and she kept bursting into little teenage giggles...from time to time...I don't blame her -you should have seen the hat she had to wear...those graduation clothes are a hoot....but her little red shoes were ever so cute...she was called down to the platform in a procession with all the other graduates ...led by a scottish bagpipe in full regalia- Mr McGill being a Scott- anyway when Joni had to get up and say something after receiving an honorarydoctrate...she looked stunned that she had to speak...she walked over to the mike and said - you know its very rare that I feel speechless...then she paused ...and said, Well I guess from now on they'll have to say... "Uh What's Up Doc" (in her finest imitaion of bugs bunny)... so that's the news tribe... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 11:51:32 -0600 From: "Cynthia Vickery" Subject: Re: Another November, another novel... njc <> you know, azeem, i toy with doing this every year, and haven't yet. kudos to you - what an undertaking! i'd love to read whatever you end up with.... and i'll be on the bandwagon with you next year - really! cindy np: danien rice - the blower's daughter (in another example of my constant ability to be amazed by ancient technology, i've just discovered yaoo launchcast! wooohoooo!!!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 20:11:15 +0200 From: "ron old mweb" Subject: Fw: NJC - Festival Express / Richard Thompsons First Ever DVD!!! hi not sure if these are news or not???? asvailable now at village music, (and, i guess, a whole lot of other retailers...) festival express dvd at $24.99 george harrison - the dark horse years ($22.99) - now available separately from the box set and hows this one - his first ever dvd!!!!!

As someone who was not able to participate in Pazfest #1 (was going to, but had to decide between that or actually seeing Joni in concert in Boston, so we chose the latter), I am very interested in traveling to N.O. for that part of a Jonifest. But I have never found the idea of a cruise appealing, so I doubt that I would plan to participate in that part of it. It's not so much a France vs. cruise notion for me, as I am not packing my bags for France either (would love to, but not in 2005 - sigh). It's the two-parter of A. expense/finances and, B. cruise. BUT, if I was ever going to try one out - because how can you say you don't like something unless you have given it a try? - it would be for a Jonifest cruise. There isn't another group of people I'd rather hang with than the complex, interesting, huggable people who make up this list and whom I have had the privilege of getting to know through seven NE Jonifests and countless other, smaller reunions.

If you would not consider this at all we want to hear from you too. There were many other ideas floating around and those could be developed in lieu of a cruise.

Notaro" Subject: Dave Van Ronk I am reading the excellent Stonewall by David Carter. It occurred to me that Joni was right in the midst of all this hub bub and maybe should someday be interviewed from a queer history perspective. Now I am at the part that describes Dave Van Ronk's arrest at the Stonewall Inn during the riots. I find this intriguing, both because he and Joni were very close during the sixties Greenwich Village era, and the fact has never been mentioned in any bio of his I have ever read.

Well-deserved I'm sure, especially for a person like yourself, who has spent a lot of energy devoted to the study of her work. Now if only we all had your musical knowledge to be able to appreciate fully what's going on technicaly in the work - that would be something. Consider sharing some of your insights with this group. As you know, there are many musicians here! Bye the way, I absolutely love the Travelogue version of LTISR.

As an alien, I cannot vote, but you know what I think. As a Chilean citizen, I lived a dictatorship promoted and supported by two Republican US governments. I know very well when this country wants "to set other countries free." In 1970, my country had a democratic election. The socialist (leftist) candidate won. Chilean conservatives and the US didn't like that (Nixon was the President at that time). So, since the very beginning Chilean rightists, supported by the CIA, started to complot against our democratic government and President (the CIA files about this have been opened and anyone can read them). Three years later, we woke up with bombs falling from the sky. That day (Sept. 11, 1973) a 17-year dictatorship started. Chilean rightists and the US government wanted "to protect us" from socialism. How did they do this? With a dictatorship, with "disappeared" political prisoners, with tort! ured people, with repression, with horror. No one asked me if I wanted that kind of "freedom." I'm absolutely sure that many people in Iraq think exactly the same. Every country has the right to decide about its destiny and future. No one has the right of bringing the horrors of war to people. I hug you with hope. You and people like you are the America that I love, the America that must be known in other countries. - ------------------------ (I cannot give you her name because she is applying for a green card and, well, you know how it it these days....)

It played! And I missed it!!!! (NJC) Hi my friends! I received an email this morning from Al Santos of Smooth Jaz 105.9's Sunday Brunch telling me that he played one of my songs on his show this past Sunday!!!!!!! I was getting over some sort of bug this past weekend so I wasn't feeling so hot, plus I was under the impression that he was waiting for me to send a finished product to him first so I didn't even turn the radio on Sunday!!!!! I was floored!!!!! I made airplay!!!! That means so much to me because it is a dream realized. Even though it is just a small step, it is in the right town. This show, Sunday Brunch is huge!!!!!! Now I must work fast to get some copies out on the market and on CD Baby. I am hoping that Al's playing my music will get me on other Sunday Brunches at other Smooth Jazz stations. I want to keep taking baby steps but move forward. Wow! Sherelle _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

I don't know what DAT is either, but dat don't matter.

Nothing left to do but watch the returns. I feel like I have rocks in my stomach. There's so much at stake. I've heard so many eloquent people on this list share their feelings about this election, and I want to thank all of you for your insights and for creating a sense of political community. And for the Republicans on the list, I'd like to thank you for your civility - judging by the postings you're in the minority, and that's not a comfortable feeling - believe me, I know. And also for the Republicans, I'd like to say, in all sincerity, MAY THE BEST MAN WIN!

What is NOJ&FH? I don't know what DAT is either Hey I admit it had me stumped as well, Catherine (I did know that DAT was Digital Audio Tape) - then I saw the rest of Mark's message and figgered out that it was: New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. (1995) It's a cool little gig, Joni cranks up her VG8 & Parker Fly guitar for the first time to see if it's going to work for her. Pretty historic, actually, because according to her she was ready to toss it in at that point but thanks to this combination of gizmos she got about a 10-year career extension. I like the version of Sex Kills in this show, she uses the same VG8 setting that she uses for "Lead Balloon" and gets a angrier, more metallic feel to it musically. Even given that, I still haven't heard this song performed with the musical and vocal intensity that it deserves. Welcome back, Mark - good to see your name in the fray once more.

Now I know what to ask Santa for for Christmas. If it weren't for people on this list, I would likely not have listened to Richard Thompson. The man is an amazing talent. I'm kind of surprised that "The Festival Express" is out so soon on video but then again, maybe not.
