It looks like, quite recently, she either has a whole new website, or the old one (still languishing with "New You" as being really "new") has been majorly revamped. If you haven't checked recently, I would highly recommend you check out the whole new Shawn website at http://www.shawncolvin.com/ There are some absolutely BEAUTIFUL photos of Shawn, plus news - she's touring (doesn't seem to be headed my way as of yet, but, one hopes, that could change) AND she's working on a new album, sched'd for a Feb 2006 release. Also mentions appearances on "Queer eye for the straight guy" and "The L Word." I think she was with Sony for the last record but it looks like she's now with Nonesuch. - --- Jerry Notaro wrote: > I bet many don't know that Shawn got her break by > singing back-up on Suzanne > Vega's Luka.

Vince I just turned on my computer and got all three of your messages. When she gets back home later tonight, Daniela will be thrilled to hear to that she made an appearance on the Joni Mitchell list. She did Joni's A Case of You. That song now has something of a history here in Queretaro. Last year, a friend of hers, who is the director of a small experimental theatrical troupe, asked her to do the song as the onstage musician in a play written by a Mexican author called "Marlon Brando y la Naturaleza Muerta". (The best translation I can come up with would be to slghtly re-arrange the title of an old Tom Robbins book and call it "Still Life with Marlon Brando".) After the troupe did a few interviews on local radio stations to promote the play, Daniela's version of the song ended up on the playlist on both the State University radio station and the local public radio station. I think that the director still has a copy of the song. Send me your address, I'd like to send you a copy of the CD. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:49:04 -0400 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: War Of The Worlds, was "as natural as the weather" NJC Mags, Non-stop lightning figures in Steven Speilberg's new movie, "War Of The Worlds".

I did see it. My daughter has a thing for Christian Bale. Lord knows why after seeing him in that! Even if I had known what he looked like, I doubt I'd have recognized him anyway in this film (catch the logic in that one!) Very disturbing. Quite Hitchcockian, I'd say. Interesting to see a film in Black and White (or sort of B&W). Not that I encourage anyone to do to himself what Bale did to land that role. It made me cringe just to look at him, but in that sort of deer-in-the-headlights don't-wanna-look-but-I-gotta sort of way. Very good story, though.

From the 3 albums I have of her (C&S, FTR, Blue), I think she makes a great use of brass. My favorites from the first two (since Blue has none) are Car On A Hill (this has her best use of horns/woodwinds), Help Me (the instrumental at the end?! slammin) , Barangrill (the flutes make this song), Let The Wind Carry Me (great call-and-response with her vocals), and Trouble Child (love the muted trumpet at the end).

I attended part of the International Children's Literature Conference here in Winnipeg in June (met jmdler Richard Flynn there). I was mesmerised by a wonderful dramatic presentation; a film about the play which was performed in the UK over a span of two years. The scene we saw had many of us in tears, it was so moving. There's an enchanting feeling a la Midsummer Night's Dream somehow; whilst the subject matter is very different, it certainly has that sensibility. Many great kids books to recommend; I especially loved all of my daughter's growing up years where I experienced the great joy of revisiting many of my old characters and stories; a chance to relive and reread many favourite books all over again, through fresh eyes. I remember reading Anne of Green Gables to Miranda; every word, precious. For those of you with children, hold them close to your heart, always. You just never know when they will need to draw upon all those years of the love you give; so be mindful when she/ he is counting on you. love, Mags - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:55:11 -0700 From: "Mark Scott" Subject: Re: Horns/Woodwinds Dominated Songs - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jo Lar" > What are your favorite songs from Joni that have horns/woodwinds?

There is a very delicate interplay between strings and woodwinds that is like chamber music. I especially like the solo clarinet towards the end. I also love the horns in 'Dry Cleaner From Des Moines', Mingus version. The live version on Shadows and Light also has some smokin' sax work from Michael Brecker. Love Wayne Shorter's sax at the end of 'Paprika Plains'. Travelogue has several. My favorite is the horns in 'Judgement of the Moon and Stars'. Also 'Be Cool' and I love the horn solo at the beginning of 'Love'.

You reminded me of 'Harry's House/Centerpiece'. From that first downward swoop and throughout this cut, the use of the horn section is masterful.

There was an article in Saturday's Boston Globe (dateline: Phoenicia, NY) about buried treasure in the Catskills, on none other than Esopus Creek! It seems that back in the 20s-30's, or some time such, a New York hood named Dutch Schultz became fearful of jail, and had buried 5 million in a tin box, upstate somewhere near Esopus Creek . (Smurfy, could you possibly say 'Esopus' right here, in that voice you have? Anyway, for the uninitiated,, this creek , which is really more a raging and famous trout river, runs thru the back fields of the Full Moon Resort, where we have enjoyed a wonderful northeast Jonifest some several years running. (more later) To think that Giselle might have been sitting on all that 'booty', a- sittiing by the creek, strumming and a-singin' 'Gimme the beat, boy' just makes me about pass out! ....thinking about the booty?....yeah!....Why, with 5 million, we could endow JMDL, and Jonifest scholarships in perpetuity, promote music in schools, correct all the typos in 'The Complete Poems and Lyrics'......why, we could even buy Full Moon!

But the real treasure of the Catskills wasn't buried by Dutch Schultz, Chuck; the real treasure was all the wonderful times and friendships and music and love that we all found -- thanks to Ashara -- in late summertime for so many years.
