I can't help thinking fondly about the ghosts of Jonifests past. I will miss the NE fest this year. Maybe that's why I ended up at www.kayashley.com this morning. If you're feeling a little blue and you're remembering the days when we used to sit and make up our tunes for love, why not pay Kay a little visit? Check it out. You can download Kay's music for free. One song even features another Jonifest favorite -- Jenny Goodspeed. What's more, you can leave a message in Kay's Comments section. I left one. I noticed that someone named Ethel M. also had something to say. Any other JMDL websites I should check out? Have a great Saturday, everyone. - --Smurf ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 09:53:48 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: 2 years, njc Hi Ya'll, Today I have 2 years clean and sober in AA!!!!

The story goes...Joni had been eating a >banana and when I approached her she shook my hand therefore getting >banana on my hand LMAO!!!! Well, Joni must be a banana fan. The one time I saw her "up close and personal" (during the tour with Dylan and Morrison), she was carrying a bunch of bananas (and wearing two hats).

For those who may not have seen it, the mug and t shirts from Fest 04 had a magnificent night time scene featuring mountains and stars and, of course, last year's Fest was called 'Back to the Stars'. Well, I love Jenny and I think the girl was psychically preparing the way for the French event, because the picture on the mug was just how it was this year. The stars, because of the lack of light pollution, were the most magnificent I have ever seen. Galaxies and nebulae were clearly visible early in the evenings. (That was before I always drank too much red (holy?) wine and couldn't focus on anything :~) I once read a story I'm gonna share here. It might be hard to understand the connection for me, I don't know. Maybe you can tell me if it makes sense! An Englishman visits Calgary and finds that some of the local indigenous people are holding a Sun Dance and he decides to go. When he arrives, the people are setting up their tee-pees, caravans, rv's and assorted colourful vehicles. Evening comes, they sit and eat, tell stories, sing a bit, dance a bit. He says, 'When does the Sun Dance happen?' The people say nothing but just look at him. He sits around the fire and waits. He gets up the next morning and people are washing, making coffee, sitting talking and he asks someone 'What time is the Sun Dance?' The guy looks at him and says nothing. Later that day, the Englishman receives a call and he has to return to Calgary for the day but is SO worried about missing the Sun Dance that he asks someone else 'If I go home today, will I miss the Sun Dance?' Again, the person looks at him and says nothing. So, he whizzes back to Calgary, sorts business out and drives fast back to the Festival. 'Have I missed the Sun Dance?' he asks the people late that night as they sit, drink, eat, tell stories, play guitars. They just look at him and say nothing. The next morning, everyone packs up and goes home. Images of Joni Fest 05? Well, I met Catherine and Lucy's children. What a joy to see their differences and their similarities! They were such great kids to be around. Hope abounds. It wasn't bad meeting Catherine, Lucy (and Frank) either! Guy telling me that when I sang Black Crow with Laurent at the start of the 'performances' he cried. I said I didn't think I sung it THAT bad! It was a bad joke, because I knew what he meant and I remember I felt that way in 03 when I found you all. Thierry playing anything at all. I just LOVED his sound. Thierry's Harry's House was very special for me and Muller singing Blue Motel Room. God, that was marvellously sleazy. It was SO good to see you Bob. Jamie Zub telling us what Fest 05 meant to him in his native Malay  much Joni in that moment, Jamie. Strings singing 'Frank's Song 'just to me and Steph up in the centre of the stone circle Jean Yves has built - and the wind blowing at just the right moment. Yup, saw Strings' goose bumps at the same time as ours. Ashara having lots of time to chat about dance camp  now THAT was good, but us not getting up to the Stone Circle for a circle dance and a song circle was criminal. I wished I'd pushed more and not hoped someone else would do it. Sorry, guys. It won't happen again if I get to another Fest and there's a magical space like that. What else? Oh yes, Steph trying to stop Lieve checking her work emails and their good humoured banter.The outrageously gifted Randall singing to just me in the mill and making me cry from my boots. Adriano looking white describing the absolutely terrifying drive through the gorge that we had also survived  but this man had done it at night. Laurent described the drive as 'pretty'. Plus ca change, Laurent :~) John Van Tiel playing 'Yesterday' SO sensitively for very young lady (Laurent/Dominique's daughter?) who'd not sung much publicly before. Martin helping everyone out with plugging in and sound. I think he did mine  but I was SO drunk I can only remember whining about not being able to see my dots on my guitar. Appreciate being left off this dvd I think!! And of course meeting the lovely Emiliano  the philosopher extraordinaire and Mike.and I feel I have got to know lovely Les Ross better. Les, why don't we ever see each other? Ah well. And there were also some people I missed from previous Fests. Ah well, can't do it all. Packed up, took one last look at the fruit trees, went to the toilet (best bog EVER in the world) and came home. Thank you Laurent for making it happen. Yup  it went on all the time this French Sun Dance and not when, where or how I expected.

I like the way she captures common activities in epic environments. There's usually a bright line between landscape photos and people pictures but she's thinking outside the box. She understands duality & has brains about the process too, saying, "... for me the (camera) tools were never that interesting or important  it was always about light." I enjoyed seeing (some of) her work. Thanks. Jim Covington, KY - ---------------------------------- "The only things we own are the moments.

Two years is a short enough time, but I'm sure sometimes it felt like a looonnng time. Then suddenly, it will be ten years, or twenty-five.

Thanks Catherine! I was thinking this very thing today and wondering what it will be like to have that length of sobriety time and to have changed through the AA program. I feel like I've wasted a lot of years because of my alcoholism. Two years did seem to pass by slowy at times. I'm just now waking up, just now realizing what it means to be sober of mind, sane. So many gaps in my memory and a lack of ability to see things realistically... My longing to see things as they are so I can live life on life's terms is a reason Joni has appealed to me so much over the years. She has the ability to get to the core of whatever she writes about. Healthy vision...
