No, it would not. I doubt I'd be able to get up again. Getting old (and fat) just ain't no fun! :-( The words we sang were, "Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices."

Imagine leaving home with your whole CD collection in your pocket, instantly retreivable when desired. For example, here are the albums I have stored in mine filed under the artist "Joni Mitchell". Clouds Ladies of the Canyon Blue Court and Spark Miles of Aisles The Hissing of Summer Lawns Hejira Mingus Shadows and Light Dreamland Both Sides Now Travelogue Songs of a Prairie Girl Well ok, I dont have "For the Roses" and Don Juan in there, must remind myself to borrow them one of these days so I can rip 'em. But in the meantime, if I never need to listen to an album or a playlist of songs from those stored albums, whether I am at home, on the road, in the car, or in the office, its a simple matter to call them up at the flick of wheel. Instant Joni on tap when you want it. :-) - - jim ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2005 16:08:06 +0000 From: Garret Subject: Re: Joni Podcasts... possibly njc Hey Jim, I can definitely see the (Joni and non-Joni) advantages of an ipod. In fact, i have about seven thousand songs on teh computer that i play using itunes and find it very handy for ordering the tracks. The fact that they don't skip when you are walking down the street or doing exercise really appeals to me. Occasionally the music in my gym just gets so bloody infuriating that i am tempted to run out and purchase one. I mean, YOu're Beautiful is not an awful song but it is always playing in my gym. That and bizarre dance remixes of popular tunes. But i don't think the instant gratification factor outweighs rediscovering a long hidden away album. I think that i would be very tempted to skip to favourite tracks over entire albums (as i do when using itunes) or create playlists and that means i would probably listen to Harry's House, Jungle Line, SOSC and Sweet Bird instead of the HOSL album (which, by the way, is a great cooking album;-) OF course, i would not be *too* upset if santa wanted to leave one for me.

I enjoyed visiting your website - what a lovely voice you have - so light and clear, pitch perfect, not unlike early Joni, if I may make such a comparison. Can we expect to hear a Joni cover from you someday ;-) ? I am sure you would do her justice. There are many talented singers and musicians on this list; you're in good company. Michael in Quebec, looking forward to the solstice. _________________________________________________________________ Powerful Parental Controls Let your child discover the best the Internet has to offer. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN.

I also have an attachment for my I-Pod called an I-Trip. It's a wonderful little gadget that allows me to transmit my I-pod to any radio within range. I set the station to one which isn't being used (mine is set to 87.9), tune the radio to 87.9 and play my I-pod. The result is that my I-pod plays on my home stereo, car stereo or any other radio I choose. I love that I can play my MP3s on better quality sound systems. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Ayson" <<< Garret - that's what everyone says about an iPod at first - then when they get one they can't imagine life without one.

They can be made by anyone with a microphone, a computer and podcast software.They are extremely popular right now, and podcasters now have access to world-wide audiences through web technology, blogs, etc. Here is a little blurb I cut and pasted from the CBC website that explains how to access a CBC podcast. Podcasting - Getting Started Step-by-Step To begin accessing CBC Radio podcasts you will need a computer, internet access and a media player that supports the mp3 file format. 1. Download podcast software - Podcast software will search out and retrieve the most current versions of the podcasts you subscribe to. There is free podcast software available on the internet, for example external site - links will open in a new windowiPodder. You will need to download and install podcast software on to your computer. See http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php 2. Copy the address of the podcast feed into your software - After you have downloaded and installed podcast software, select a CBC radio podcast you would like to subscribe to. Copy the address of the CBC radio podcast into the podcast software. For example if you wished to listen to Quirks & Quarks you would paste http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/quirks.xml into your podcast software. 3. Listen - When a new show is available your podcast software will automatically download it to your computer. Then you can listen to the show anytime you like using a media player that supports the mp3 file format, for example external site - links will open in a new windowiTunes. Me again: This gives you an idea of how the technology works. It's all about democratic, indie broadcasting. The potential of this technology is enormous, and it may well revolutionize the way we share information. From my understanding, it currently appeals to the teen-to-20's something demographic, the ipodders.

In the meantime, I've got my pocket disc-player (which can also play mp3s, so I can get 6-8 hrs of music on a disc) and my broken el-cheapo disc player, and my computer. Isn't one of the complaints about mp3s that they are inferior, lossless quality (not that most of us, including myself, would notice)? in which case, isn't listening to them on a better quality sound system a bit of a waste? (from she who has a crappy sound system in any case). Let's here an audiophile (ahem) weigh in on that.

I can't wait to get my sign...it will be my peaceful holiday lawn ornament to complement the white candles in my windows, for as you well know, it's comin' on Christmas! What FCNL is about, from their website: "The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) is the largest peace lobby in Washington, DC. Founded in 1943 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), FCNL staff and volunteers work with a nationwide network of tens of thousands of people from many different races, religions, and cultures to advocate social and economic justice, peace, and good government." And Joni friends in the UK: when I said goodbye to my friend of spirit Cindy last Monday night, she was on her way to a peace conference in London. She has never even been to Europe before, and here she is going to try to meet with Tony Blair! What determination! Have you heard anything in the news about her visit? I would love to know how it is going for her. I have not been able (or had much time) to find out anything. Love, Patti P. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2005 18:08:12 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Cass' Sisotowbell Lane Hi Isadora - thanks for the introductory post, and allow me to also welcome you to the JMDL family! I got back this evening from my trip and this CD was waiting for me. I actually thought this was good match of singer and song, and it was pretty much what I expected. Now we're one step closer to having all of STAS covered - all we lack is "Pirate of Penance", and I'll be REAL surprised if that one ever gets done. Hey, maybe you can take that statement as a challenge... Anyway, I thought I would share the comments in the liner notes about Cass & this track: "Two pieces dropped from the initial effort are now included: Joni Mitchell's 'Sisotowbell Lane' and John Sebastian's 'Darling Be Home Soon'. Mitchell's piece stands for the idyllic maxim "Somehow in spite of trouble ours will be ever lasting love". Cass dubbed Mitchell 'the greatest poet since Emily Dickinson', but pulled the song on advice from John Simon. He told Cass "if you can't do it any better than it's been done, say like Joni for example, then make your own statement". Cass decided to make her own statement with her own material."
