It was more to encourage myself to keep moving forward but I am so glad that it has helped other people. My source of encouragement came from this forum from "A Tape of You" that we did in tribute to Joni many years ago. That is what gave me the courage to try again. I owe a lot to this forum.

(You can see how expensive it would be to do a whole CD of covers!). It's a very straightforward process, and incidentally, CDBaby says that cds with cover songs on them sell more digital downloads than ones without. Not that dds will neccesarily generate much money-while itunes pays the artist a nice 60 cents or so (ea.) alot of the other sites pay abysmally small amounts, like a tenth of a cent per.

No, not my comments. I don't think the sound is dated at all and still listen, regularly, to DED in my rotation.

The neo-Reaganite tag affixed to him during the mid-'80s, Young insists -- quite vehemently -- was taken out of context, blown out of proportion. ''The Reagan-supporting era," sighs Young. "I don't think there is one president that's come down the line that hasn't done something good somewhere." Young says a "sleazeball journalist" nailed Reagan and then forced Young to his defense. "Some people put down all presidents no matter what," says Young, "like once you get to be president you're a . . . idiot. So if you say anything good about any of them, they think you're supporting everything they do." http://www.thrasherswheat.org/ptma/bostonglobe90.htm If Liberty was a little girl Watching all the flags unfurl Standing at the big parade How would she like us now?

I agree and will add I feel the same about all of her Geffen albums. I could never put those four up with her 70s output, but taken on their own merit, what they are rather than what they are not, I find that there is some excellent music (and lyrics, of course) that has aged just fine for me. I finally got the box around this time last year (having bought the vinyl when they were originally released, but not having played them in years), and found it a joy to hear them again. DED: I was expecting it to sound dated and to not like it as much as I had in the 80s, but I think it's lasted fine. Sure, the technology "dates" it in that you can place some of the sounds, but it's pretty rare that's not true with any album, including acoustic recordings.

I have a friend from the U.K. by the name of Nige Harrison who is a fantastic writer and singer. He sent me some of his CD's and listening to his original music, I was quite impressed with his voice as well as his songwriting talent. He has an interesting mix of songs up there and it reflects his various musical interests. Long story short...I like him!!! He has a few clips on his website but I think he omitted his most interesting songs! http://www.nigeharrison.co.uk/index.html He wanted to try to do a series of gigs in New York around September of this year and I was wondering if there were any New York JMDL'ers that could help me with good venues for him. He can go acoustic or electric...he pretty much follows his heart with his band. What he's trying to do is book two weeks worth of gigs in New York which would make his trip worthwhile. If you can help me, email me off list. I really want this to happen for Nige. I'm getting to this place myself so no worries. I haven't stopped trying for myself either. Part of the pleasure of music for me is putting my "money where my mouth is" so to speak and helping other musicians who are trying to make it as well.

It's like when they added 'nik' to the Beats-to associate them with communists (Sputnik etc). It's a catch-all label that means nothing. imo. As to what happened to those in the so-called 'counter-culture', sure, some became lawyers, some became drunks, some pioneered free clinics, started gay and female liberation movements, some went back to the land, you name it. Some ex-cokeheads became President, but you can't really generalize. Certainly all ex-cokeheads didn't do that. There are still pockets of 'counter-culture' in many places- Vermont, N.
