(NJC) now dogs >I do not support many groups who march in the Annual St Patrick's parade , yet I have marched in the parade with my Irish wolfhouds.< Hi Darice, you have Irish Wolfhounds? I've been thinking of getting this breed someday. They are so beautiful. Unless I stick with Husky's which I love. (I'll have to wait as I have a husky/chow/wolf dog now who might not like a Wolfhound so much). is there a good site to learn more of this breed? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 16:58:39 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: RE: San Franciscophobia by Garrison Keillor [NJC] >Foley ...

I am so happy to hear that Kyle Eastwood is such a fantastic player! Steve Winwood is the bomb too! I really love his voice and his music! Glad you got a chance to check him out as well. Listen my friend, take care of yourself and have a great time in NYC! Please let us know how things go in Billy Joel-land! (P.S...that's Joni my friend! Smile) Paz wrote: Kyle Eastwood was the bomb tonight. What a fantastic player. Very nice cat too. He asked what I was doing later and I told him going home to sleep cause I am leaving in the am to NYC. Ended up going to HOB to see Steve Winwood and just got home to pack and catch a few winks. Tons of people hanging out in the Foundation Room at HOB left me geeting hoe way to late but as I have said before...when I'm.... Roland Guerin also a bass player was fantastic and I got a great recording. Hung out with Coco Robicheaux who played the Ogden over the weekend with me an is the studio recording with John a producer who recorded the Blind Boys of Alabama (the record with Amazing Grace mixed with House of the Rising Sun). Could NOT get away from him and a ton of other people who obviously have a better hang than I. Anyways off to the land of Billy Joel, Twisted Sister, Mountain, Cindy Lauper, Gershwin (not attending due to a prior engagement) and a plethora of Long Island Artists. Should be a gas. Love Paz P.S Asked Kyle about Joni and Larry but he had no real news to share (must have been all the babes waiting to talk to him) BTW Roland Guerin played Pazfest with the amazing David Lahm and use to be in a band with Brian Blade who is recording with a certain someone (I'll be damned if I can remember her name!)

Sara Craig - This Flight Tonight (Live '93)" That's the first time i hear Sara's Live version of This Flight Tonight. Sara's Studio version is one of my fave J covers and the best This Flight Tonight cover i ever heard. 6 or 7 years ago, when i heard it for the first time, i bought Sara's Sweet Exhaust CD, thinking that anyone doing such a great cover must also make great original music, but her own songs were not so great at all. Still, Sara's Flight is a fine one to me, and hearing it now Live as well is fun. Thank you, Bob.

Vintage concerts and big moments from Britain's renowned "Old Grey Whistle Test" series hit the Yankee screen under the umbrella "BBC Crown Jewels" (Monday-Friday at 10 p.m., VH1 Classic), hosted by Squeeze chief Glenn Tilbrook. Look for the likes of The Police, The Faces, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd and, first up, AC/DC with original front man Bon Scott. (Repeat marathons next weekend, 1-6 p.m. Oct. 21 and 5-10 p.m. Oct. 22.) After the series settles at 10 p.m. Thursdays, expect Joni Mitchell and more. Check the lineups at vh1.com/artists/rock_on_tv. Here's what I found when I searched under "Joni Mitchell".

There's a saying that goes something like this: One hundred "atta-boys" can be destroyed by one "oh shit." Advocating man-boy love is HUGE "oh shit" in my book, and pretty much gets in the way of the other grand and highminded things Hay may have stood for. Sorry if that makes me a politically incorrect lesbian, but advocating pedophila is something I do not tolerate, period. David Marine (who I'm glad to see has left lurkdom), wrote, in reference to Tom Foley: > Age of consent laws vary from state-to-state, and if attraction to a 16-year > old makes one a pedophile, then Elvis Presley was a pedophile. Let's > burn Graceland to the ground! Fine by me. That shit is beyond tacky anyway. And yes, I think Elvis Presley was a pedophile. As I recall (and my brain could be fuzzy), Elvis was attracted to girls quite a bit younger than 16. Look, there's got to be SOME kind of line an adult doesn't cross. I don't give a rat's ass what the U.S. South thinks, you don't marry girls off at the age of 12 or 14. It is not okay for a 40-year old (of any gender) to have sex with a 16-year old (of any gender). And, nevermind all the other hypocrisy surrounding it, it was not okay for Tom Foley to attempt to seduce his pages. (And while we're at it, although I think Monica was old enough to consent and knew damn well what she was doing, it really wasn't okay for Clinton to enjoy her "oral favors," either.) I consider myself to be liberal about a lot of things, but "man-boy love" or similar are simply not tolerable.

Can you imagine a mother saying: "I sensed this strange smell pouring out of my kid's room and became suspicious.

Saw pianist Chick Corea and vibist Gary Burton in concert tonight. What an awesome show to a very packed Memorial Hall! The dazzling virtuosity was way up there. Although I have long admired Chick Corea even before I saw him in concert in Manila in the early 90s, the biggest surprise is Gary Burton. Burton just blew the audience away with his quiet intensity. His speed in the vibraphone is at first looking like unbelievable energy but in the two-hour show, he was so consistent and his musicianship was undiminished. He was given rousing applause every time -- no doubt helped by Corea's very supportive gestural nods to his musical companion. Corea himself is phenomenal and quite a clown onstage. He would do very quick and offhand body movement that had everyone laugh each time, whether fixing his piano chair, or spreading the whole music sheet in front of him. He is a nice balance to the more introverted Burton. If you have their legendary debut duet in 1972 called "Crystal Silence", you will still be regaled by the creativity and re-imagination that Corea and Burton did to constantly make the music dynamic and fleshed of nuances not apparent on the studio recorded version. They also did a highly revamped version of Corea's "Spain" as though performed by Bud Powell on piano. Very highly entertaining. No wonder the two encores were not enough to make the audience leave but it is obvious that both performers are physically exhausted. I am sure I will be hearing "Crystal Silence" with very different ears now after the concert. The music remains the same but hearing them bring us to newer heights, made me appreciate the 1972 version even more. As a sidenote, I also saw Nina Nastasia last Tuesday in a local bar. Somehow she reminded me of Sally Ellyson and the rest of Hem even if their music may be seen as parallel but musically divergent. Nastasia made the songs more immediate and captivating. Original songs like "Stormy Weather" and the new "Bird of Cuzco" sounded very different from the studio release. If musicians start perform exactly onstage what I can hear on the record, then I start to lose interest.
