Being an Aussie born and raised, I can't say I've heard of any of those things you mentioned. Woodstock sounds like it might be a wine company. Possibly Hunter Valley. As for Erana Clark, the name sounds vaguely familiar but the song was certainly not a hit for her. Although I was only 7 in 1973, I used to listen to my sister's records (who was a musician) and don't recall any Aussie Joni covers ever being a hit. My earliest introduction to Joni would have been around that time when my sister used to cover Big Yellow Taxi in her repertoire although, she says she was never a fan of Joni's music. She preferred the heavier stuff like, Led Zepelin and Status Quo. Any other Aussies heard of Erana Clark?

And while I'm on the subject of Aussie Joni covers, I'll throw out this one to see if anybody there can help me find it. It's a CD by a Melbourne area (I believe) jazz singer named Emma Lee titled "I Wished For You". The reason I'm so anxious to hear it/get it is that it has not one, not two, but potentially THREE Joni covers on it: Blue, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Edith & The Kingpin This one has been very elusive - any help finding it would be appreciated (and rewarded!) ;~) Bob Tired of spam?

Playbill.com previously reported about the Manhattan cabaret test of the material in 2002. Fletcher has handed the role over to Stacia Fernandez. Evan Bergman directs the two-act production, the second show in the Rep's 10th anniversary season. The musical arranger is Dimitri Nakhamkin. The other featured actors are Beth Beyer, Charlie Parker, Don Stitt, Tom Story and Kathy Deitch. "A Girl Called Dusty is a musical loosely based on the life of legendary pop singer Dusty Springfield that delves into the psychological conflict between youthful dreams and the realities that follow," according to the Rep. The "uplifting drama" includes such Springfield classics as "Son of a Preacher Man," "The Look of Love," "Wishin' and Hopin'," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and "lesser known gems that reflect the depth and artistry of this musical icon." Playwright Susann Fletcher has spent the last two decades performing in seven Broadway shows, including three original companies, six national tours, as well as television, film, regional, stock and readings and workshops. She conceived A Girl Called Dusty while on the national tour of Annie Get Your Gun and originally performed it as a one woman show at The Triad in Manhattan in 2002 under the title Dusty Springfield: See All Her Faces. Fletcher's passion for musical theatre prompted her to develop the show further, beyond the cabaret world. During that process, she also recast the title role "finding that being the playwright and the star was one hat too many." Director Evan Bergman staged the New York and Los Angeles productions of The Director starring John Shea, and was the original Off-Broadway director of Bobbi Boland. Actress Stacia Fernandez (Dusty) has appeared in Broadway's Tom Sawyer, Swing, The Scarlet Pimpernel and Beauty and the Beast. Most recently, she appeared in Off-Broadway's Lone Star Love. National tours include Evita, Beauty and the Beast, Jerome Robbins' Broadway and Heartstrings to raise money for AIDS awareness. Performances of A Girl Called Dusty play Tuesday-Friday and Sunday at 8 PM and Saturdays at 5 PM and 9 PM. Tickets are $30-$35. For reservations, please call PtownTix at (508) 487-9793 or log on to www.ptowntix.com. * The Provincetown Theater opened at 238 Bradford Street as Provincetown's first new playhouse in over 25 years. Formerly the site of the old Provincetown Mechanic's Building, the theatre opened in 2004 and houses two resident theatre companies: The Provincetown Theatre Company (PTC), a community-based theatre company, and the Provincetown Repertory Theatre (Rep), a professional theatre operating under arrangement with Actors' Equity Association. * See All Her Faces the earlier version of A Girl Called Dusty was an intimate musical biography that explored Springfield's professional life (she was a white woman who brought Motown moves and an R&B-flecked sound to the U.K.) and personal life (she came out as a bisexual as early as 1970, and would struggle with mental illness, substance abuse and cancer in her later life). "My agents, friends and peers had been after me for quite a few years to do a one woman show but I had never really come across anything that blew my skirt up enough for me to be willing to devote the enormous time, passion and energy required," Fletcher told Playbill.com in 2002. "I didn't want to do something about me at all. But, as I continued to dig, I found that I did want to create a show about Dusty Springfield." Fletcher knew of Springfield, but not at length. She came across a TV program about Springfield's life and was fascinated by the singer's look, sound and the story. "How could I have missed this woman?" Fletcher said. "I have very strong remembrances of most of the music from that era and I had absolutely loved Petula Clark when I was a girl." The openly gay Fletcher was also astonished that she had never known through the gay community that Springfield was one of the first pop culture figures to be out of the closet. Fletcher penned the new show using public accounts of Springfield's life poring over newspaper clippings and magazine articles. "As much as possible, I have tried to use direct quotes from the myriad of newspaper, magazine and television interviews that she gave during her life," Fletcher said. "She had a great way with a phrase and wonderful honesty and humor. It's not something that I could really improve upon." Springfield recorded "Dusty in Memphis" in 1968, and Rolling Stone includes it on its list of the most influential albums of all time. The Pet Shop Boys reintroduced Springfield to a new generation with the success of three songs, recorded between 1985 and 1988: "What Have I done to Deserve This," "Scandal" and "In Private." She started to record again when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. She died in England in 1999. Shortly before her death, she received the Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth. She was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two weeks after her death. Elton John accepted the award on behalf of her family. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 09:54:21 EDT From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Amy Grant (SJC) Tomorrow morning on NBC's Today Show, Amy Grant will be performing on the Summer Concert Series.

Thank you so much for this update! I am a big fan of all three of these guys but especially Jean Luc-Ponty. He was kind enough to correspond with me by email a few years ago when I first started letting people hear the CD I recorded. He was very accesible at the time and told me I had a lot of potential. I'll never forget that! Also, his song "Renaissance" was on of the first Contemporary Jazz recordings I heard as a teen. I love it to this day!!! Stanley Clarke blew me away with his bass playing. He was the first bassist to use his instrument as a lead. That was just unheard of at the time. He always left me shaking my head at his talent! Bela Fleck is also an innovator with the banjo. I can see now why these three are together. They are all pioneers!!!!!

GARRET NP- Ani Di Franco, 32 Flavors From: Jamie Zubairi Had dinner last night with a girl that I met only recently. I arrived a little early and while she was out walking the dog I had to stay in to wait for the other guests. She had a guitar on a stand so I kept myself out of trouble by playing 'Stewart's Coat' by RLJ - the only song in standard that i like singing - after dinner and drinks the guitar was brought out. It seems this girl is a singer-songwriter and her friend played the guitar while she sang. It came out that I sang and played as well so they got me to play that. Then someone said, 'Does anyone know any Joni Mitchell?' I said yes.. can I detune this guitar? and we had a lovely evening of various Joni songs. A real surprise for me to find someone who likes her and can sing along which was nice - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 17:17:54 +0100 (BST) From: Jamie Zubairi Subject: Re: A Crow of a different color, or at least different arrangement - --- Garret wrote: > Sounds like you had a mini Jonifest there Jamie:-) > > I think i saw you in the maltesers ad. > GARRET > Hi Garret Yes it certainly felt like a 'warm-up' gig.

Sheesh. A remastered CD version of Joni & James at the BBC is available to anyone here if you promise never to sell it. If you're outside the US, I'm sure someone will step up and make a similar offer. What I'm offering was remastered for the JMDL community by Simon Montgomery. He started with a very high source and took deliberate steps to retain every detail. As a result, the remastered CD has a clarity that surpasses the bootleg LP (sold at record shows) and distant cassette copies of 30 years ago. For new people: This is called "trading for blanks and postage" and it's never done with catalog recordings. You send a blank CD (or cassette) and return postage. I put the music on it and send it back. (You'll usually get a tracklist and one of my grainy photos of Joni on stage during the Bob/Joni/Van tour, but don't hold me to that.) Write to me off-list. I'm sure others will offer too, especially if you're interested in other people's interpretations of Joni's songs. (Hi Bob.)

This one is a very early performance of Furry Sings The Blues, from a concert in Philadelphia on Feb 16, 1976. Note a few minor lyric changes from the recorded version. Based on clues in her song intro (and a glance at Simon's Chronology) we can pretty safely say that Joni visited Furry Lewis at his home in Memphis on Feb 5, 1976. So, at this point the song is very new indeed.
