I thought I'd let you know about a couple of upcoming shows (SEE BELOW), especially for the benefit (??) of the NYCers, and perhaps some of you non-NYCers might be in town? Or know someone in the NYC area who may still need a KAYzoo?... In other news, I just returned from Alison's wedding, and it was fabulous. She got married into ONE of Walt Breen's new churches, I was too drunk to notice which one... no seriously, it was a beautiful wedding, right at the base of some out-of-this-world red rock cliffs, in Capitol Reef national park in southeastern Utah. I was very honored to have been asked to sing during the ceremony, and I did a rendition of "Eyes So Bright" for Alison and Scotty, the hunky man she managed to snare. Must be some dark magic at work.... ;-D LOL no, but seriously, Alison was absolutely gorgeous in her gown and she cried at every turn -- a new, tender side to Alison that none of us is really familiar with. ;-D And guess what!! I caught the bouquet!! No shit!! OK, since I'm not even dating anyone right now, the universe better conspire in my favor pretty damn quick! Walt?! Vince?!?! Some help, please? Oh, yeah, and after the rehearsal dinner, Alison got me up there to do some Joni during Purdymouth's break (great bluegrass band -- kickin' version of Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love", of all things), so Alison and I got up and completely slaughtered (not in the good way) "Black Crow" and "Coyote". I sang/played passable renditions of "People's Parties" and "A Strange Boy", though I had had a couple of Smirnoff raspberry Twisteds (SE Utah's only alternative to beer). We really missed Paz's alpha wolf presence, and we roundly cursed Smurfy, just because. OK, so maybe I'll see a few of you playing KAYzoos at my feet sometime in the next couple of weeks... :-) Show details are below.... :-) Kay - ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Kay Ashley's October shows From: "Kay Ashley" Date: Wed, October 5, 2005 12:11 am To: kay@kayashley.com - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Everyone!

It's about the situation for example in X-mas time when the family should be all happy and friendly, but the pressure just bursts out the terrible fights and violence. But hey, "let's sing all together the joyful song, peace on earth..." 'Kaukana' is a blues about longing. I'm happy you like it! Suze: So you digged someone else's music as well :-). There's some English in the song 'Tebon Sanoi'. More stuff in English you'll find from my next album. - Laura suze_1@lycos.com: Hey Laura, I checked out your stuff...I really like Kaunajaiset. Can you tell me the lyrics? Also, the fact that you sing in English is appreciated by me. What song is "Just Breathe"? Anyway gang, go to the website have a listen, it is brilliant.

Lucky Charms rule (although I'm a Life, Honey-Nut Cheerios, or Frosted Mini-Wheats guy myself, or if I really want to be decadent - Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter!!) Of course, one has to acquire the proper skill to eat Lucky Charms, making sure you don't eat out all the marshmallows and end up stuck with a bowlful of the brown tasteless bits.

I really love that song!!!! Thanks for sending it!!!!I was going to introduce him during the concert but I didn't know if he was definitely there. He told me later he was glad I didn't do it because it was my night! I have to tell you some of the stories he told me about the music business in the 70's! I was crying with laughter at one point! One thing about William is that he proceeded very cautiously into the music world at that time. He took a five year leave of abscence from his job and toured to promote his record. He knew it was one hit and he never had illusions about it. He said that he had a lot of trouble signing a record deal because the labels told him that he sounded too much like Curtis Mayfield. Curtis was popular at the time so that seemed to be a big conflict. Anyway, he still performs at retro events and has a particularly large following in East L.A. for some reason. It's like he is being rediscovered by different groups of people. I told him how proud I am of him for writing that song because it has a very good message that is still very relevant today. My friend Ms. Adams (Marvin Gaye's friend) actually discovered him. That is why he is so loyal to her. The special part is that he said I could use his name in any way to further my career. He is a terrific person!!!!!

To clue the rest of you in, I attended a sold out benefit show Bruce Springsteen did for the Jersey Chapter of the American Red Cross last night at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park. I called SCJoniguy during "The Ties That Bind". I would love to see Joni & Bruce, boy what I would pay to see that! Hmmmm...what could they play? I am so sleep deprived, but the setlist was: APP article follows... IDIOT'S DELIGHT Living Proof Devils & Dust THE TIES THAT BIND Long Time Coming Silver Palomino Be True Tougher Than the Rest Ain't Got You All the Way Home One Step Up Reno ATLANTIC CITY Lost in the Flood The Rising Lucky Town Jesus Was an Only Son Two Hearts Galveston Bay Matamoras Banks - --- I WANNA MARRY YOU (on Ukelele) 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) The Promised Land Dream Baby Dream Boss' benefit is music to ears of disaster victims Published in the Asbury Park Press 10/5/05 BY _KELLY-JANE COTTER_ (mailto:COTTER@APP.COM) MUSIC WRITER Bruce Springsteen knows his own life is a far cry from the struggles of the working-class protagonists of his songs, and he couldn't be more grateful. In concert Tuesday night at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, Springsteen admitted that he gets paid for what he'd do for free. When fans ask him, "How does it feel to be The Boss?" Springsteen said, he'll usually get all humble and throw some line about how it's gotten him this far and he can't complain. But that's an understatement, an attempt not to lord it over all his hard-working fans. To brag, Springsteen said, would be bad manners. However, in case you were wondering and wanted the honest truth, he confessed, "It's fabulous beyond your wildest dreams." So there you have it. Bruce in top hat and monocle, swilling champagne and lighting cigars with hundred-dollar bills. Aha! We knew that "Everyman" image was just a brilliant marketing ploy. "Once," a giggly Springsteen told his well-behaved audience, "I wrote about it." He then performed "Ain't Got You," in happy-go-lucky, rockabilly style, a song that raves about material wealth and pines for unattainable love. That song, about midway through his set, made Springsteen smile and relax. Earlier, he'd been all business. The concert was a benefit for the Jersey Coast chapter of the American Red Cross. Representatives of the Red Cross were on hand, delighted that Springsteen had reached out to the organization in such an unexpected way. Ticket-holders were encouraged to make additional donations; anyone can do so through _www.jerseycoast-redcross.org_ (http://www.jerseycoast-redcross.org/) . Some old, some new The set list jumped here and there throughout Springsteen's extensive catalog, with "Living Proof," from 1992's "Lucky Town," preceding his latest, "Devils & Dust," for example. Springsteen performed an exceptionally bright and jangly version of "All The Way Home" and a charming rendition of "Be True" on keyboards. He turned to the piano for "Atlantic City," and the chords undulated like ocean waves. "Long Time Comin'," one of the best tracks on the "Devils & Dust" album and a fan favorite on this tour, keeps getting better and better, as Springsteen rattles off the lyrics in a casual style that belies their poignancy and wisdom. Likewise, the solo versions of "Tougher Than The Rest" and "One Step Up" have a sense of maturity about them b these songs are aging like fine wines. Not so "Reno," the one about the prostitute, which still sounds kind of queasy and is too plain sad. "Hope everybody had a good summer," Springsteen said cheerfully Tuesday night. His hair was slicked back, like the way he wore it in the mid-'90s on "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" tour, when he also played intimate theater shows. Outside, the air was warm, salty and soft, and the waves stretched up the beach in gentle rolls. A percussion ensemble practiced on the boardwalk, and the sound reverberated past The Stone Pony. Bruce fans milled about, pleased with the night, astonished at their luck, eager to pay the man for what he'd do for free. now can't you just picture Joni next to Bruce...... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 20:11:01 -0400 From: "janine sherman" Subject: Always amazed to hear of another longtime Joni fan's history > Dear Donna in NC, > > Reading your post is like opening my heart.

Hello UK Jonifolk Have any of you noticed that there is a new re-issue of DJRD out? I had a look inside (a trick my friend who used to work at HMV told me) and it's a new Asylum release with a full colour cd of the asylum logo (the door) on it. Apparently it's HDCD as well but the booklet isn't the fold-out version that the US had in them but the standard 'booklet' form that most cds have. Also in this months 'The Word' or 'Uncut' magazine there was an article about DJRD and how it's a 'lost jewel' or some other description. A very good review, I should buy it...

Jonifest 2004 - Full Moon, NY: The 6-disc set, including lots of old faves and some great new voices too. Get a load of this version of The Priest by Stryngs: http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=25XY425U6RXR30M0KPJTLQF23L I just can't say enough good things about it - check it out. Anyway, lots of Joni & NJC treasures here. I can send a complete track listing if you're interested. Also, I've got (courtesy of Simon) three new interview discs, done during Joni's promotional rounds for TBOS & Dreamland. Here's a little detail: 1. Fresh Air with Terry Gross: While a lot of this information is old hat to most of us, there is lots of newness to it as well, definitely worth a listen. 2. Radioactive (Aug 3, 2004) w/Aura Bogardo KPFK-FM: I thought this interview is terrific. Not much music (I think only 2 songs get played in an hour+ interview) so Joni really gets to open up and speak her mind on lots of subjects, mostly politics and current events. I found it very enlightening. 3. Dreamland Radio Special: This is the promotional disc issued to Radio Staions to promote Dreamland, mostly music, only snippets of Joni and mostly old stories and answers that most of us can repeat verbatim. And I also have the Joni live at The Hague, Netherlands 1983 but that one's been pretty well distributed - still, I'm happy to share if you've missed out on the previous offers. So, if you're interested in getting copies of any/all of this stuff, please let me know. I'm happy to do the blanks/SASE thing or whatever works for you.

This is strange ... I was listening to HoSL in my car tonight and thinking that the sound really isn't very good. Compared to the recent Dylan remasters it sounds down right bad. I don't know if I want to buy the whole catalog again, but DJRD does interest me. Is this a UK only release? I haven't seen anything on it here (usa).
