Oh my God, that is hysterically funny, Muller. How can Dolly possibly not hear that? Or anyone else. I would think that while she was in the studio recording it, everyone on the other side of the glass would have been wetting themselves laughing. I guess this puts to bed the long-standing rumor of Dolly being a Friend of Dorothy because any true FoD would clearly hear her representin' the Lullaby League. - --Smurf, off to record a duet with Nora Jones ... __________________________________ Yahoo!

I have never seen the falls in all my 50 years on the planet. We did all the expected touristy things like Maid of the Mist, and we visited Niagara on the Lake (thanks, Jerry) and toured a winery, and went stalking the slot that's hot in the casino (we are currently involved in fighting the introduction of slots in Bethlehem, PA, and we decided we should see for ourselves what it's like. It's creepy). No Joni content on our trip. I did make sure to play the most recent version of BSN on my actual 50th, so I could feel old and maudlin. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- dlmessling@rcn.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 02:28:26 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: Re:Shameless self-promotion Joni cover!

I got Karen O'Brien's book a few years back but never finished it, to my shame. Maybe I'll get round to putting that right one day. Picked up The One & Only, the biog on the late, great Kirsty MacColl last week and noticed it too is written by Karen. As for similarly-titled books/etc on Joni, the DVD titles always confuse me. I tend to mix-up Refuge Of The Roads with the '91 collection featuring CMIARS/NRH-era clips and footage. I can't find that reissued DJRD anywhere in stores round these parts, either. Does it have the silver "digitally remastered" sticker, as with other WSM reissues by Led Zep, Madonna, The Cars, Bonnie Raitt and the like? Those come in clear-spined cases too.

And people most likely wouldn't be driven to crime just to get them - hell, your health insurance would probably pay for them!< that is kinda how it is now... most legal drugs are very similar to another one that is illegal... yet people still use the illegal (stronger?) unregulated ones... maybe they'll come up with thc pills but I suspect those who like maryjane like the smoking of it... marijuana is legal here in small doses as medical marijuana... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 23:11:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: my birthday trip NJC - --- Deb Messling wrote: we visited > Niagara on the Lake (thanks, Jerry) and toured a > winery, and went stalking > the slot that's hot in the casino (we are currently > involved in fighting > the introduction of slots in Bethlehem, PA, and we > decided we should see > for ourselves what it's like. It's creepy). I know people whose idea of a good time is going to the casino. I totally don't get it. I can't even have a conversation with those people, because I don't have a clue how to talk to them. What a cash cow for the government, but then they've got to fund rehab clinics for gambling addicts.

If there's a moral to the story I'm about to tell, it's that confrontation is the key to backing down a dog. (On the other hand, a human stalker might be craving a confrontation. Anyway...) When I was a 12 years old with braces, I delivered the morning newspaper on Sunday. (It paid for gas for the minibike and black-and-white film processing for my Kodak 127 brownie camera. It was 1968.) I collected the bill from customers on Saturday afternoons. For 2 years I was very aware of a gray/black German Shepard on my route. When I was collecting, the dog would snarl with teeth bared, on the other side of the screen door. If he had the ability to troubleshoot, he could have easily jumped through the screen. He never did. A few blocks away, I collected from a new customer for the first time. When the lady opened the door, her Chihuahua bolted towards me, as if it had been shot from a toy cannon. I stopped in my tracks and started laughing. Every red blooded, 12 year old, American male knows that small dogs are laughing stock. That was a bad move. Monty Python's "Killer Rabbit" was based on this particular Chihuahua. At full throttle, it leapt 3 feet into the air and took a bite out of my inner thigh. It was a close call and ever since that day, I've been afraid of Hispanic women who offer to pay me. Several weeks later, it was 5 AM on Sunday. I had healed up and done a lot of thinking about confronting dogs. I had just dropped the Sunday paper on the front porch where the German Shepherd lives. Unbeknownst to me, he was coming around the side yard to find out what caused the commotion. At the corner of the house, we surprised each other. I startled him and he startled me. I blink and hollered "NOOOH!" That big ol German Shepherd turned and ran away as fast as he could. He's been afraid of paperboys with sharpened, metallic teeth ever since. All the best, Jim PS, Free to a good home: Bob Dylan's "John Wesley Harding" on SACD/CD. My interest in Dylan peaked in hour 2 of the PBS film. I want it out of here, so who wants it? Anne said, >Bullies: Mags asked about bullies. Seems to be a common thread with a few people around me lately, so I'll just comment quickly. I think bullies are often big cowards. Kind of like the doberman that lived across the street when I was growing up. She'd bark and snarl at anyone who walked by, from the safety of her fenced in yard. Once part of the fence fell down, she found herself outside the yard. No more barking and snarling. Anyway, I guess most bullies' aggression comes from insecurity. That doesn't make it any easier if you're their target, though.> ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 22:40:06 -0500 From: Michael Paz Subject: Joni Stuff + The News from the War Zone in the New 3rd World Hi Folks Back home after a wonderful amazing trip to NYC. Great party with Rose and Kay and sometimes Patrick who was a little under the weather (and it was fecking pissing rain), but we managed a great hang. On the way from the Big Easy to the Big Apple Juan and I rode Southwest Airlines from Jackson to Islip, Lonk Island. In the Spirit Mag on the plane, page 70 in article called Record Mecca, by Michael Kaplan he wirtes about a grooovy place in Bro Julius's neck of the woods. Opening paragraph reads- Joni Mitchell found herself so enchanted by Amoeba Music that she gave a hug to co-owner and mega-fan Marc Weinstein. Elvis Costello was so taken with the place that he offered to do an impromptu in-store concert (he actually wwaited a few days and had Lucinda Williams join him onstage as a surprise to Amoeba). In another article in the ame mag- One Hundred Years of Jazz Guitar They list 6 guitarists left out of a cd compilation that could have Of them Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones "Boardwalk Blues", Merle Travis "Merle's Boogie Woogie", Steve Morse "Punk Sandwich", Stanley Jordan "Eleanor Rigby", Jimmy Bruno "Eternal Triangle", and of course Joni Mitchell "Coyote". Some one is always left out! Anyways Les if you need this mag for the archives I will gladly send it to you. It was a truly wonderful trip and I met so many people and was presented with so many opportunities that I am sure some of them will pan out and we will not sink or be washed away (as was somebody's plan.) I met with Dave Matthews Band folks, NickleCreek folks, Jam Records Folk, and Ween folk , not to mention a plethora of manufacturers who are willing and able to help. We ate, we danced, we had cocktails, we sang (on a mezzanine and in the C-Note, we drank some more. I had a slice or two, bagels, sushi, and I-talian, where there were people, kissing on main street, and there were lights an oh my my. We met with an org that is helping musicians (not production people tho) and they seem very nice and we are going to link our efforts with them. I have a good feeling about them and am encouraged. It was a long trip back home and things are worse than ever here. Juan, the man I went with to NYC to the AES convention, who started the www.katrinaspianofund.org and rescued so many people from the flood got home to house that HAD been flooded but his recording gear and instruments had survived the flood only to be looted while we were in NYC. HOW fucked up is that? Fema turned down our request for help cause he have toooo little damage. We were turned down for a re-fi on the house which is huge, but I will not go easily. These are all just tests of faith or bumps in the road. Freda is still NOT well and I am worried about that. The kids are resilient as always but I also feel a guarded but supportive tension from them. Anyways I have blithered too long tonight. Thanks again for all your cards and letters of support. The south will rise again and support ya'll when yer down and troubled (oh sorry that9s another singer songwriter isnit). Hoping for hopeful posts from myself tomorrow!

After that build up, I had to check it out for myself. I'd say you nailed it. Does Dolly murdering BSN qualify as JC? Has that been sped up, or did Nashville legalize amphetamines? Jim L'Hommedieu, who shot performance photos of Sherelle Cary Smith even before her first concert: http://home.fuse.net/jlamadoo/SHERELLE_composite_2002_by_Lama.jpg Bob Muller said, >Well, I'm no Dolly fan, but she's been making records a whole lot longer than I've been buying them, so what do I know? At least she has the sense and the popularity to draw some great talent to surround herself with. And of course, by law, she includes a duet with Norah Jones. Here's her take on the franchise, very peppy and some nice instrumental work too. Additional vocals by Judy Collins & Rhonda Vincent, mandolin by Chris Thile of Nickel Creek, he's no Les Irvin, but he's OK. Just try and block out Dolly's "we represent the lullaby league" vocal and you've got a solid track. http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0YDDVQCKYWORX2YTQO84KA1Z05 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 00:55:41 -0400 From: "Richard Flynn" Subject: RE: Shameless self-promotion Joni cover!
