Now I know that they have a fixation with The Beatles. This album is like listening to a new Beatles album. It is very good. They are very talented mucisians. I did eventually get the new strings. One of the sons of one of the members from a band I played in during the late 70s has taken a very keen interest in the fact that his dad was a shit hot drummer. He has done some homework on dear old dad and has contacted the former members of the bands that his dad played in seems we are all still alive and healthy most of us still play although not in bands at the moment. Christ he even found our old sound engineer. Some of us have played in more than one band together and we have all remained good friends for more than 25 years or more. He has found some old tapes, although I think Roy the sound engineer helped and thought how cool these old farts sounded way back when. He has decided that he is going to get them all together next month in a barn on their family property. He is so into the type of music we played and is blown away by the fact that most of our children are into that sound. As I have said before my own daughter is a Joni fan big time. With about 12 - 15 musos together with many instruments some really cool sounds will eminate. np: Who Killed the Tangerine Tears for Fears ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 06:48:11 -0500 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni 45's? on JMDL?

Pieces of a Dream are from my neck of the woods. I'm glad they are doing so well. Roy Ayers is one of my favorite musicians as well!!! Man! I haven't heard him in years but I love his style! I'm happy to know that he is still performing. What an original talent! There was such a cool vibe going in the seventies where I lived (Portsmouth-Va Beach area) with him, Lonnie Liston-Smith (Love Beams), Gil Scott Herron (The Bottle), The Blackbyrds, Jean-Luc Ponty, Stanley Clark, George Duke, and flutist Bobbie Humphrey. We had this killer radio station that played all of these people in the same block. I think that is what helped develop my love for music even more. Koko Taylor is a legend and I would love to know what was like to work with Patti Labelle. I definitaly won't ask about the Tempatations Revue!!! LA sounds like it was a lot of fun! I can't wait until I can get there again!!! Take care my friend! Love, Sherelle Paz wrote: Hi Everybody I have been so slammed since I got back from NAMM preparing for this weekends gigs. I am working tomorrow with Patti LaBelle and Friday with Roy Ayres (who I love) Temptations Revue (DON'T ASK!!!), Pieces of a Dream, and Joe McBride (both who I am not familiar with). Sunday it's (GET THIS) THE IDES OF MARCH (OMG), Survivor (cringe although Bob Muller probably liked them in another life), 38 Special (no explanation necessary), Koko Taylor, Cowboy Crush, and Lou Gramm from Foreigner. Should be at least plenty of laughs esp. since there will be Playboy Bunnies at the show on Sunday.

The unthinkable just happened this morning on CBC's 50-Tracks radio show. BSN was voted off the list. Here is how it works. Each of the four panelists, including the show's host, submits two candidates for the list, but only half of the submitted songs finally make it to the list. The competition and panelists' final voting must eliminate the weakest submissions. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would come to this. The panelists seemed so pro BSN earlier in the week. I thought it would be a cakewalk, but I spoke too soon. Remember, it is the song that counts, not necessarily the popularity or reputation of the artist. So, what made it on the 60's portion of the list? The Weight by The Band; These Eyes by the Guess Who; Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot, and Four Strong Winds by Ian and Sylvia. These choices trumped the following suggestions that did not make it to the list: Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf; Shakin All Over by Chad Albert & The Expressions; Suzanne by Leonard Cohen and, Whaaaaaaa!, BSN. I'm in a state of shock. BUT redemption may be possible by either of two ways: 1) listeners can put back one of the rejected songs through popular vote. 2) The panelists for the next two weeks may possibly submit a Joni tune (BYT?) for the 70's portion, but the competion will be very stiff. This current defeat may also weaken her standing for the 70's competition. You can cast a vote for BSN via email or toll-free telephone. Here is the email link: http://www.cbc.ca/50tracks/vote/index.html . I think I'm gonna call that CBC hotline right now and give them an earful. I mean, what is it with us Canadians? First Joni was WAY WAY behind Shania and Celine on the Great Canadian List, then River was booted off the 50-track list this past summer, and now Joni fans are once again being humiliated by this latest potential defeat. Is there no justice? ;-) Her fate is hanging thinly by a thread, so cast your votes now!

Near to where I live when I'm in the area, about 20 minutes drive to Jonifest. 64-71 euros/room + breakfast 6 euros/person. Check their website www.chez.com/lafargo/, click on the UK flag at the bottom for english. In addition to the hotel info there is plenty of info about the area. Click on "directions" for general travel info. Let me know if you want any of these and I'll make the booking for you. RESERVATIONS: Reservations for the event and for lodging can be made to me. La Fargo hotel reservations can either be made to me or directly (mention Jonifest). I'm not sure what is customary in terms of deposit. Those who can pay the 165 euros event fee now are welcome to do so. For those who would rather pay a deposit, I suppose 100 euros ($135) will do. Overseas bank transfers are expensive, so I'm offering the following options: * USA festers can wire the funds to a U.S. account at Bank of America. The account is under a cousin's name, this way he'll make 1 lump sum transfer to me and you will have no fees. I'm responsible if he runs to Havana with your deposits (LOL). * EURO + rest of the world: wire transfer to me in Euros. Please email me off list for bank account details. One last thing, if attendance is over 60 people, it may exceed the capacity of the site. Need to know ASAP so I can put plan B into action.

So glad, in fact, it is comin' around again. Lama My esteemed colleague from the great, metropolitan city of Toronto said, >To me, DED was stripped down lyrically, deliberately. It was a reaction to the materialism of the 80s, so gone was the lyrical poetry of previous albums. The music is mostly harsh-sounding and the words Joni uses are harsh too, with a lot of one-syllable words and harsher consonants and a lot of staccato both in the music and her delivery of the words. "Impossible dreamer" is airy, both musically and lyrically - it feels like there's a lot of space between the words, maybe because we're more used to Joni packing in a lot of lyrics in a small space. It's not for nothing that it's the second last song in the album and it's the bridge between the harshness of the songs before it and the final song, "Lucky girl" which, like the opening song, "Good friends" is optimistic. It continues and synthesizes the harsh imagery of consumerism vs the starving masses, but lifts up from there to the positive image of the impossible dreamer seen in a blink in the darkest part of the night and in the brightest part of the day. An artist can paint with many layers of thick oil paint, using huge brushes, palette (sp?) knives and all that, or can do a simple line drawing with pencil or marker, and I think that's what Joni was doing with DED.> ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 17:21:14 -0800 (PST) From: Smurf Subject: Re: santiago campostela (NJC) Clive asked: > ways of > getting round washing out socks > everyday...you know the kind of thing. > First of all, I am very jealous. I would love to make a trip like that. Second, I don't know much about walking the via Franca, but my long trek down the via Dolorosa has taught me this: if you don't treat your feet right, they can get you back with every step you take. So if I ever actually take a very long walk in the Pyrinies, I will bring more clean white cotton socks than I can possibly use. --Smurf, who loves to go a-wandering __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
