Oy, it's Belafonte, dude - get it right, eh? Way to give away the Bowie bit, too. I didn't realize it was Bowie at first. It just sounded KINDA familiar and, because I'm not a big Bowie fan, I didn't clue in right away just WHY it sounded so familiar. (But I enjoyed the music - so there!)

William Claxton is the greatest jazz photographer ever to look through a lens, if you ask me.

Thanks! Nice search engine thingy. Cindy sent me something earlier on Amazon.com that had the same snippet sample so my dad got to hear it. He had it down pretty good by the time he got to my house, and we practiced a few times together before we sang it. He took it pretty seriously which surprised me. He's 73 years old and used to sing and play trumpet in a band but hadn't in decades. He's an excellent singer, very nice voice... nice accent too, from Michigan. We meshed, and it went off pretty good. We got a lot of compliments, and I know it touched the hearts of the parents of the graduates. Chalk another one up for Circle Game!

Is anyone inspiring you right now? - - -- No. The world is full of madmen and shortsighted money-mongers. Mandela, Tutu, the Dalai Lamaother than them, the world is totally lacking in great men."< very nice interview, thanks kerry! I think joni misses the boat in this respect same as when she says there is no good music out there... as we all know there are many great men around us but for world leadership it is, as many native Americans have pointed out, the time of the feminine voice (which doesn't rule out men btw as they have an equal opportunity to embrace the feminine) ... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 22:15:24 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Carl Jung, _Memories, Dreams and Reflections_ This is jc because joni referred to it julius >Didn't you guys see that?! It's about what we've been calling "Synchronicity!" Anyone read it? Insight, please?!< Yes I've read it & it really is a solid cornerstone of my world view & has been for quite some time... it has been long since I read it so I don't know how easily I can discuss it other than to say I think it has been integrated deeply into the person I am & the way I view the world... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 23:44:26 -0600 From: Robert Procyk Subject: centennial gala Ok, this will be quick because I am rushing off to bed, but it was the Centennial Gala tonight and I just got back from Saskatoon. It was unbelievable - just awesome, considering I thought it would be hokey. Anyway, we had 10 row aisle seats on the floor, and I am not kidding, the Queen of frigging England was 11 seats away from me. Anyway, the only reason I went was for Joni. Well, everyone got like 5 mins, and then right at the end, all the people who performed did a this medley of Joni songs. They started with BYT, then ACOY, and Help Me, and.... shit, I can't remember... Twisted, Woodstock, and then EVERYONE gets back on the stage and they do Both Sides Now and then Circle Game, and the audience starts singing Circle Game, and some of Joni's art is on the screens in the background. Then she somehow sneaks on the stage and everyone freaks out and stands up, but then the whole moment is sorta killed, because the frigging Queen and her posse come on the stage too and sh akes Joni's hand first, and then works down the line, while this kids choir sings BYT, and Joni just sorta stood there on the side and did that funny finger flicking thing she does. And that was basically it. So, you know how it is when you see Joni - you get all freaky and choked up and whatever, and it was worth it to see her just for that short time. But at the same time, I am kind of pissed off. I mean, these people would have done anything to honour her, and she doesn't speak, doesn't do sweet bugger all, and I mean, we are her hometown crowd. She's never done anything there except for the Mendel thing. So it was great to even get a glimpse of her but at the same time, I am sort of let down and pissy, because she wss the frigging star of the thing and didn't even let herself be seen, and when the hell will I ever see her again? Ah well... to top it off, there is a shot of me in the crowd (watching it right now - it was televised) where it looks like I am picking my nose... lovely.
