I wrote a note of thanks to Dave Blackburn and then in my mind I was "done." Right. Well, to recap as Bob and Kakki already have, the concert was fantastic and it was great to attend with such illustrious members of the list. Should Bob or Kakki ever visit your city, by all means invite them over! Bob's a fun guest and even attends kids' sporting events without complaining! Kakki is always fun to be around and the two of them regaled me with lots of fun Fest stories. Dave and Robin and the band did a great job with Joni's material and I have the utmost admiration for them for pulling it all together. Those of us who can't get to L.A. to meet up with Joni personally (!) appreciate hearing all the wonderful music and vocals from masters. All in all, it was a pleasure to host Bob and Kakki and I hope if there's anything going on in San Diego in future that I can do it again. My best to all, Lindsay ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 21:49:28 -0800 (PST) From: Lady Isadora Subject: Re: "Roses Blue" LCStanley7@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 11/13/2006 6:26:54 P.M.

Too true, but you omitted a key part of my comment above, which didn't just say "as if Witches and occultists lay anything on anybody", period, but continued with "more than, say, fundamentalist Christians do, or the Salem Witch Trials, or the Spanish Inquisition." Thrice-13 lashes with a phantom broken guitar-string! >I also like the one, "friends who come to find they >can't be friends because of signs and seasons that > don't suit her." Some people do base their >friendship on astrology or on the million dollar (can >cost you at least) question, "are you a Christian?" Well, I don't know anybody who does. I do know people who TALK sometimes about sun sign compatibilities, but then blithely jump into the next and nearest likely-seeming "relationship" that presents itself anyway, no matter WHAT the person's sign. And all the Witches I know have friends of other religions as well. I certainly do. One of my friends is a Roman Catholic who I swear is more pious than the Pope. His idea of a good time is to go into a divinity library and pile the most obscure tomes he can find as high to heaven as he possibly can, poring over them in total ecstacy for hours on end. He reportedly got kicked out of a monastic retreat weekend for instructing the good brothers in their devotions. Heh. Cackle. >>"Roses Blue" is one of my very fave Joni songs, >Mine too.

Yeah, but if it happens to anybody's HEART, he or she could be in big trouble. Oh, I do love this song, honest, but I've always kind of been thinking: "Oh, come now, Joni, dear girl.

There she is among 1971 classics by Bowie, T. Rex, Al Green, Lennon, Grateful Dead, CCR, Aretha, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Kinks, etc. Worth the 14 bucks...
