Try this, if you dare... 1. Listen to JT's guitar for a couple of hours. 2. Put on California at full volume. The first few phrases are just Joni (including those percussive sounds.) The way I hear it, the very first notes (before the 1st percussive punctuation) are Joni "playing a JT lick" on her dulcimer. On the BBC disc (hi Simon), you can hear him try to play it on guitar and he makes a mistake, twice. She starts "California" instead. That BBC show is da bomb.

I listened to Bowtie Barstow's clips via the cdbaby link provided. I don't know whether to laugh or chide myself for laughing but his relentlessly out of tune renditions are so consistent I began to wonder if this is a deliberate joke. After listening to some of his tracks some more (yes I listened to all the available clips -- I must be crazy) -- singing in time and in tune seem to really elude him. Even in the live tracks like "Blue Skies" he sings exactly as he sings in studio -- badly. He managed to make "Girl from Ipanema" sound ...uhm... different. I wonder if he can sing "Desafinado" the way it was written or still manage to destroy it. Having said that, I thought his "Mack The Knife" fared better -- only if one's idea of singing is deliberate avoidance of the melodic line that song should be sung.

From CanadaNews.com: Ottawa favours cultural centre City urged to use $10 million on River Landing project Rod Nickel The StarPhoenix Wednesday, May 04, 2005 River Landing is in line for a $10-million federal boost, with the federal Western Economic Diversification department pressing the city to spend its centennial funds on a downtown cultural centre. The centre, planned for a roughly two-acre site on the former Gathercole site east of the Idylwyld Freeway, is expected to include a new home for Persephone Theatre, public gathering space, a landmark with an observation deck, other attractions and shops. "We believe that's the best candidate," WED director-general of operations David James said in an interview. "We're going to put federal funding in an envelope and see if the cultural centre comes to a conclusion. We would very likely be interested in making a positive recommendation (to federal ministers)." The cultural centre exemplifies the kind of project Ottawa had in mind for its centennial funding as it's a "landmark facility" that leaves a legacy for generations, James said. "The cultural centre is our No. 1 choice. If in summer it looks like it's coming together, we'll take it forward but if it stalls we'll look at other options." City of Saskatoon has called for expressions of interest from groups interested in space in the centre. Meewasin Valley Authority and Tourism Saskatoon are considering submitting a proposal that would include a Joni Mitchell Discovery Centre, a river interpretive centre and offices for the two agencies. WED administers the distribution of federal centennial funds. It's unlikely to meet resistance from Mayor Don Atchison, who had earlier suggested using centennial funds to build the landmark. "I think there's a good opportunity for it to be spent (on the cultural centre), a good chance of that," he said Tuesday. Authority to decide how to spend the money lies with Ottawa, but it would like to form consensus with the city and community as a whole, James said. At least some city administrators may also support the request. Joe Kuchta, a former Gathercole Initiative Group (GIG) supporter, wrote to city council recently, reporting that a community services official confirmed to him that the money is going into River Landing. Paul Gauthier, the city's general manager of community services, said in an interview that city administrators have formed no consensus on how the money should be spent. Spending the money on River Landing would face a few political obstacles, starting within the mayor's office. Atchison virtually ruled out spending public money on the Gathercole site more than a year ago when it was embroiled in a fierce debate over demolishing the former technical collegiate. "For the life of me, I can't believe we would take federal, provincial or municipal dollars on a site where the private sector has been knocking at the door," he is quoted as saying in the Jan. 16, 2004, StarPhoenix. Atchison's stance is less black and white now. "The money from the federal government that I could not see myself (committing to the site) was to upgrade the Gathercole building itself," he said Tuesday. "We have to get full value for that land. I don't think we should give that land away for free. I'm still interested in people bringing money to the table." The possibility of the city spending public money on the site galls former GIG supporters because part of the city's rationale for demolishing the collegiate was that it would cost too much to restore it. Kuchta couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday. The cultural centre's anchor tenant, Persephone, will raise some of its own construction budget privately, but also has a $1-million city commitment in hand and will tap federal and provincial governments for contributions. A proposed mineral spa on the same site will be privately financed, although it stands to cash in on city downtown housing incentives. To date, public money has gone into developing the old Gathercole site's riverfront, demolishing the collegiate and installing underground infrastructure. The three levels of government committed $29.3 million in December to the west side of River Landing, a site Atchison has always maintained is more needy of government funding than the east site. City councillors may present another obstacle to spending centennial funds on River Landing. Coun. Elaine Hnatyshyn said Monday she's not aware of any decision, while others are more interested in building an Olympic-sized pool than spending federal largesse on River Landing. A use for Regina's share of centennial funds hasn't been publicly announced but it's widely expected to fund an RCMP museum. ) The StarPhoenix (Saskatoon) 2005 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 May 2005 23:00:41 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re:bang bang, njc Mags wrote: "Bang. Bang. He's dead." Hi Ya'll, It's okay Smurf... it's not him so don't panic. As far as guns go, I carry one with me when I walk... not so much thinking about human predators but rather animals. We live in a wooded area with packs of stray dogs running lose. This area used to be called "dog town." We are north of the Arkansas river, and people used to cross the river on boats and dump dogs on our shores before our city was very populated. I was attacked by a dog once while I was walking, and I shot it point blank. There were two dogs; the other stayed back and watched as the one charged me. They had approached me twice growling and barking before the one attacked. I love dogs, have 3 of them including one of the same breed I shot. I hated shooting this dog and was traumatized by the whole situation but was glad I could defend myself. Arkansas offers concealed carry licenses with intense training on hand gun safety and gun laws as well as how to shoot and what to do in threatening situations. I was taught by a former police officer. My husband encouraged me to take the class to get the license and to carry the gun. I don't like to debate about guns. I have friends who hate them and friends who collect them. I haven't always carried one and at first was very apprehensive about doing so. But, in the situation with the violent dog, I was glad I was carrying it.
