It has been an odd year one way and another but I am glad you are all here, and how wonderful it was to meet all the previously un-met members at France Fest this year. I hope you will all enjoy the festivities at this season, whether it is Christmas, Hannukah, Divali, Solstice, or whatever takes place at this time of year for you. I hope the coming New Year will bring resolve, acceptance, joy, peace, determination, opportunity and strength (and whatever else you may need). I joined the list three years ago today and I am glad I came here. I dont have a lot to say about Joni except that the people who like her music tend to be people I like....so its a good enough reason to be here. Hugs around the world to all of you, wherever you are, and whoever you be.

To get into the centre costs $14 a day in congestion charges, parking will set you back a minimum of $9 an hour (overnight parking is easily $80) and lets not forget that our fuel is roughly $8 a uk gallon... I would happily snap up parking at $39 its so cheap!!!

My single complaint about Nellie's debut 2-CD "Get Away from Me" is that if the song selection had been pared down and only the best of that work had been put on a single CD, Nellie would have had one of the greatest debut CDs in memory. It probably would have sold much better, and might even have won the very-deserving McKay more awards and recognition. All the extraneous stuff diluted the album's overall quality, in my opinion. I know that the music industry is a cesspool and all, but perhaps -- given McKay's past choices -- Columbia really is trying to do what's best for her (and themselves, of course). - --Smurf > I can't wait to hear it either, but now I'm worried > that NOBODY'S gonna get > to hear it: > > http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051223/music_nm/nellie_dc > > > > > > At 07:11 PM 12/23/2005, you wrote: > >http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/05-12/16.shtml#nelliemckay > > > > It looks like Nellie is Joni-like in her > insistence to have control > > over what gets done. > > Also appears that Cyndi Lauper and k.d. will be > featured (what? no duet > > with Norah Jones?) > > > > I can't wait to hear this. > > > > Bob > > > > NP: Joan Bender, "Both Sides Now" > > > > > >--------------------------------- > > Yahoo!

The total time for both discs was about an hour. I combined the 2 discs on one and sold the original set on ebay for what I paid for it (Did the same with Ryan Adams' "Cold Roses" this year). But I don't have any problem with the length of the debut, indeed there's nothing I would pare down or consider as extraneous. How would you edit it, Mr. Smurf? At least it's better than doing a re-release of the record 6 months later with the deleted tracks showing up as 'bonus tracks' and you have to re-purchase the CD you bought 6 months prior to get 1-2 more songs. (I guess that's what I-tunes is for). And speaking of Ryan Adams, he released THREE discs of new material this year! I'm still working on assimilating Cold Roses & Jacksonville City Nights, and 29 just came out last week.

It's fecking Christmas Eve, I have to start my Christmas shopping ASAP, and I let a coworker, whose music taste I'm trying to 'fix', borrow "GAFM" about a month ago, and you want me to sit up here -- the critic! -- and edit someone who's much more brilliant that I'll ever be? Okay, since the CD is out of my hands right now, I went looking online for the track list and that didn't help much as far as pointing me towards the songs I don't love because I don't remember their titles. I know I like disc 1 much better than disc 2, and the songs I love include "David, "Ding Dong," "Sari," "Manhattan Avenue," "I Wanna Get Married," and "The Dog Song." I'll have to get back to this question when I have time -- ha! -- and "GAFM" in hand. I did wander on over to Nellie's website -- http://www.nelliemckay.com/ -- and there's nothing there about this falling out with Columbia. In fact, it all reads as if everything's a go as far as the release goes. It also says: "Preview track #4, "The Big One" from Nellie's forthcoming album Pretty Little Head in it's (sic) entirety for a limited time." I also took a look at Amazon.com for the track list, and there was the following, which made me laugh internally, from a review: "Like Rufus Wainwright, Nellie McKay was born about thirty years too late. She may look like a winsome teenager on the cover of "Get Away From Me," but she's got the soul and grit of Ethel Merman . . ." - --Smurf, about to shop like a maniac - --- Bob Muller wrote: > It's still a mystery why the debut was a 2-CD set. > The total time for both discs was about an hour.

Hi Everybody Well I am back since last Thursday, but am finally together enough to post about the ride of a life time. As you all probably already know I was hired to do the sound for the entire Arlo Guthrie and Family and Friends tour. Thanks to my friend Klondike (Klondike Sound Company of Massachusetts) I was chosen which led me to being the Stage Manager on the tour as well as being the conduit to getting a certain New Orleans singer/songwriter (JACK NEILSON) on the tour. A few days before the tour they told me that Arlo could not play a full set on the Chicago show because of a contract to play there soon, so they did not have a headliner. Having donated a new Yamaha Motif keyboard to Norman Caesar (Cyril Neville's nephew) I had seen Cyril and Norman when they came to pick up the keyboard at my house a week before. Cyril asked me how things were going and if I had any work so I told him about the Arlo tour and he proceeded to tell me that he had just recorded one of Woody Guthrie's songs called "Mean Things (happening in this world)". Phew! Are you getting goose bumps yet? Which of course led me to tell Abe Guthrie about that and why didn't they ring Cyril and ask him to come on the tour. Sure enough it all worked out for Cyril, his wife Gaynelle, and Norman to join us on the tour for Chicago and Kankakee. I was elated! Anyways I flew up to Chicago and had a day to visit a dear old friend that I know thru list member Diane Evans and enjoy a 4 inch snow fall and wonderful dinner. I tried to hook up with my pal Fred Simon who had a gig that night in the city, but because it was snowing so hard we missed the train into the city and my friend did not want to drive in so I was forced to miss it. I understand he played several Joni songs that night just to make me feel worse. It would have been too cool to see him play. The next day I had a martini in the afternoon with Arlo and his wife Jackie and met the rest of the family (son Abe, daughters Kathy, Annie, and Sarah Lee) and the rest of the musicians and friends that made up the traveling musical relief extravaganza. My nephew Nick arrived and whisked me off to downtown Chicago for dinner at Shaw's Crab House for a dinner that could not be beat. December 5th was our first show at The Vic and my love affair with the entire family. We sound checked everyone in the afternoon and I was able to get a preview of what was to be for the next two weeks. When Jack was doing his first sound check at the Vic Arlo and his wife Jackie (who filmed the entire thing) came out and sat in the house and laid down on a bench and listened to Jack play and sing. He was totally blown away and from then on introduced Jack as his new friend and gushed about his musical prowess. After sound check Cyril had still not arrived to the venue so we had some downtime. Arlo's pedal steel-mandolin-banjo-guitar player named Gordon Titcomb (formally with James Taylor and Paul Simon et al) was noodling Beatles tunes and of course we all know that is a BAD thing to do around me. I started singing along with him and at that point I knew I was doomed on this tour. The Burns Sisters joined us a the next thing you know we had a hootananny happening on stage. Cyril finally showed and we did rehearsal with him and when he finished I asked him why Sister Rosa was not on his set list. He looked at me and said, "Thanks for reminding me brother!" So we rehearsed that as well. The first show was amazing even tho Arlo only played a couple of songs. There were NO STARS on this tour at all. Everyone was helping with load in and load out and after the show it only took us and hour and a half to load out and then we went back to the hotel to have cocktails and play music till I crashed at 5am. Ridin' the train was really special cause of the song and mostly cause of the people that we were with on the train. We sang and played and had cocktails and eat and talked and well you know... As we left Chicago on the first leg, Jack and I were sitting together across from Arlo and Jackie and little Olivia (Sarah Lee and Johnny's daughter) was playing in the aisle and I flashed on the fact that this is Woody's GREAT grand daughter. Phew! I'VE got goose bumps just from the memories. We did shoes in Chicago, Kankakee, Champaign, Effingham, Carbondale, and Memphis before boarding the train to New Orleans. We had so many jam sessions on the train and in the hotel. I kept saying that it was like being at camp and I never wanted it to end. The media attention was extraordinary and I did about 20 interviews with NBC, CBS, CNN, as well as many radio stations and newspapers. The players on this tour were amazing. You guys need to check out the following folks cause I know you will love them as much as I do. Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion-Exploration Xavier-Full Circle (This is Abe Guthrie's band and they travel with Arlo a lot) The Burns Sisters-They are friends with our very own Patti Witten. Their voices are amazing and they were a boatload of fun. Current album is "Out of the Blue". Folk Uke-This is Kathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson (Willie's daughter). You will die laughing and enjoy their simple and beautiful songs. This one also earned a parental warning label. Ramsay Midwood-Shoot Out At The OK Chinese Restaurant-Ramsay was a gas too work with. He is a great songwriter and I can't wait to hear the live recordings of him with a bunch of the other musicians playing on his sets. Gordon Titcomb-The Last Train-I spoke about him earlier and he is an amazing musician. John Flynn-Dragon-John has a beautiful voice and is a great songwriter and player. He wrote a song about John Ashcroft that is fecking hysterical. I would post web sites for all these folks but it just as easy to Google them and this post won't look like the Sears Catalog printed out. There were so many special moments along the way and I will never forget the blessing of this experience. I am very proud to have been a part of Arlo's effort to help the music community in the Gulf Coast region. I will probably write a part 2 of this tour and talk about the New Orleans part of the tour. Below are some pics from the Arlo site that someone posted. I have a bunch that I need to post somewhere. http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4619.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4653.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4654.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4670.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4672.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4689.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4693.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4703.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4705.JPG http://www.tupelo88girls.org/IMG_4709.JPG Happy Christmas to everyone.

He was in college and wanted the educational benefits. At that point, we didn't know that the contract is only binding on the recruit -- the Army doesn't have to deliver on its promises. They promised him a $20,000 signing bonus; he got $4,500. They promised him a laptop so he could take classes; he never got it. They promised him he could be a chaplain's assistant; when he got to boot camp, they said, "That position is filled, but you can be a Humvee mechanic or a cook."

The fate of the album, "Pretty Little Head," was unknown; a spokesperson for the artist had no comment and McKay could not be reached. McKay had insisted the label release her 23-song, 65-minute version, while Columbia sent out promotional copies of a 16-song, 48-minute album.>> ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 16:52:46 -0800 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: This Just In (NJC) Cool!

Would they be condescending? or somewhat personable? Would they verbally p_ss in my fireplace? If not, I'd sure like to have a convo with Pablo Picasso. There was an artist out of Queens, early last century named Joseph Cornell - I think I'd enjoy chatting with him. If Frieda Kahlo would attend, I'd be most honored. Georgia O'Keefe too. Not that their works are my only faves..not so at all, but they seem like ones that would on some level be of interest to speak to.
