Bob Muller's voice, for example, was not what I expected<< Yes, that's the next part of the thread for me. It got me thinking of the other people I 'know' through this list and I wondered/tried to imagine what they'd sound like. For example I am thinking of people like Mark, Jerry, Mack, Vince and Debra, although some of the musicians (Kate, Sherelle, Claudia) I have heard singing, so it's not really a mystery. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Can anyone out there guess what I sound like? Scary question... Garret also said... >>Then a plum fell on my head<< If I remember correctly, this happened at least twice; am I right? mike in barcelona np - Joanna Newsome - The Book of Right On (cheers Garret) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 04:06:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Sherelle's CD NJC Is available on CDBaby as of today: http://cdbaby.com/cd/sherellecs Her take on Eleanor Rigby will take your breath away; but then again everything she sings does.

Although like Garret I admit that you didn't sound like what I "heard" in my head when I read your posts. Then again, how can one have a truly predisposed notion of what a Welshman living in Barcelona sounds like? After I have met someone, it's very easy to hear them speaking their posts. What's disconcerting is when someone is very chatty on the list and then when you meet them they are very introverted. Makes it harder to connect their voice with their writing.

Hey, is there any way we as a community can promote one song of Joni's to be rediscovered? 1. How about we do this one. (Chinese Cafe) 2. how do we do it? Her birthday is coming up. . what if we all contact the all the radio stations and request this one? and tell them to announce her birthday as well. 62 right? It bothers me that NPR didn't announce her birthday last year or the year before (I don't know if they ever have, I assume they must have inthe past (I hear them announcing birthdays at 6am, Eastern time) right before the news. . They really ought to announce it. . . they announce so many others. . . one a day. perhaps we can email them and request it.

Wow!!! I was just getting ready to share this with my Joni people!!!! The timing couldn't have been more perfect as the concert is tomorrow! What a weird feeling! Bob, thank you so much for those words! I thought a clip of Eleanor Rigby was the right choice because wanting to record that song after many years is the thing which got this whole ball rolling. Well, I am home today trying to chill out and get last minute things done. I'm going to take a friend's advice and just roll with it. I have a very good band, very good back up singers so I will have to just let it all happen. For any Joni people attending, I apologize ahead of time for the lack of Joni content. I was going to do my version of "Woodstock" and had given the song and the chord chart to the guitarist months ago. He finally told me a few weeks ago that he couldn't play it and though he was a friend, I had to replace him at the last minute with another guitarist. With all the material the new guitarist already had to learn, we didn't have time to work on the song. I'm a bit bummed about it but am going to go on anyway. Most of you already have the demo version of the CD (which is the same). What I am trying to do is set myself up for the release of the second CD...as soon as I record it! Ha! Ha! You know I always operate on a wing and a prayer! So keep the good thoughts coming because I definitely need them for tomorrow! I don't think I've looked as forward to a Sunday and a "day after" as much as I am looking forward to this one!

Stop Thinking and Join Now!!! )2005 by Walt Breen (feel free to post or distribute, but give me some credit, eh?) The brazen attempts by the rightwing nutcase contingency (hereafter RWNCC) currently in apparent control of this country (their motto: In Gullibility We Trust) to cripple the teaching of science, particularly biology, by crippling its totally-established-beyond-any-doubt central tenet while reassuring its followers that theres nothing with them intellectually by calling it Intelligent Design has given me ideas. (Uh-oh, I hear you thinking, but for those of you who dont know me well, I want to emphasize that I have absolutely no objection to any religion, as well it does what religions are supposed to do, i.e., it preaches kindness and tolerance. If your religion tells you to kill others or at least consign them to eternal misery if their god has a different middle initial, its doing something wrong, in my humble opinion.) The idea that evolution is vulnerable to attack by the RWNCC because its just a theory led me at first to say, well, hell, so is gravity, and then I realized I had something there  after all, theres money to be made in religion, and why should I have to live in a cramped one-bedroom apartment when others throw stones from crystal palaces? Following the syntax of most religious onomasty, Ill be naming my churches in the following manner: [Ordinal Number] Church In [Your Gods Name Here] of [Central Tenet or Random Element]. To emphasize that Im not picking on any particular religion, Ill be using song titles of my favorite pop composers in place of any deitys name. First Church In My Old Man, Jericho of Theocratic Attraction As mentioned above, just as evolution is just a theory, so is gravity. In fact, if you read up on such things, gravity is much less understood in detail than is evolution. The very idea of curved spacetime! Hence, I hereby denounce and deny gravity. However, I dont propose that we all float away (I notice that Creationists dont devolve to jellyfish, although on my meaner days, I wouldnt mind seeing it happen.). Gravity is difficult, so Im replacing it with Theocratic Attraction. My Old Man, Jericho makes things fall towards each other and run circles around each other because it pleases Him. During High Mass, congregants run towards and crash into each other, or fall down in place, singing Who you gonna call to do the dirty work/when all the slaves are free? and Happiness is the Best Facelift. Third Church In Captain St. Lucifer of Miraculous Internal Drives I never got beyond Ohms Law in electricity and I barely understand how a car works (and Im not even going to start with the internet), so Im going to attribute the workings of all devices whose workings are obscure to me to the extremely generous and miraculous powers of Captain St. Lucifer, who created the world by striking the First Match (after hed stubbed his toe on a Stoney End in the dark). Fifth Church in McArthur Park of the Mathematically Impaired I barely scraped through Algebra II and Geometry (what is it with all those proofs? You wanna see whether two segments are the same length, go get your ruler, and for angles, drag out one of them half-circle thingamabobs with all the degrees written on it). Hence, anything that needs trig, analyt, calculus or anything harder to explain it is hereafter to be driven by the great Topeka Linesman in the Skies of Galveston. Hymns: Up, Up and Away; This Time We Almost Made the Pieces, Fit, Didnt We?; and By the Time We Get to Phoenix (Oh, You Do the Math). Fourth Church In Any Major Dude of Willful Ignorance Forget math and science, I couldnt keep the names of all those countries in Africa and Asia apart, and they just make things worse  countries change names, and there seem to be more of them every day. And I flunked out of Spanish I three times in high school, and thats supposed to be the easy language. The only easy language is English, and thats what everyone will speak  its happening anyhow. All places in Africa will now be called just Africa, ditto Asia, places that used to be part of Commie Russia will now go back to being part of Russia, and those teensy states in New England will now just be called Maine, since thats the easiest to pronounce. Our mantra: One Nation, One Language, One World, and We Run the Show. second church in alfred e. neuman of im, with stupid!!! i freakin hate punctuation, especially apostrophes and capitals. periods are okay, but exclamation points R better and should be used as much as you want!!!!! AND CAPITALS ONLY FOR EMPHASIZING STUFF!!!!! also commas wherever, you feel like, it. as long as someone can understand you, who cares about this stuff. ill tell you who, JUST ENGLAISH TEACHERS!!!!! our god IM doesnt care about that shit just, GO WITH THE FLO!!!! we dont have a church or anything, just a website, and if, you sin, you get FLAMED!!!!!!! Well, thats all the ideas I had this morning. Creating churches for fun and (especially) profit is easy  you can do it, too! Just dont cross me, or my godll get you for that.
