Yesterday someone told me this story- they called their friend, of a woman who is about 85 years old, ti invite her to a party & the woman declined because she was going to ride on a fox hunt for the weekend... my step dad, mid 80's still goes out sailing on the carribean with his wife who is also his age... just the two of them >Yes..it's also we quit doing things we did in our youth...whether it's cartwheels..standing on your head up against a door...climbing trees....jumping over chairs....dumb stuff..boots filled with snow but frolicking still ...and not caring..things which I now I wished I had NOT stopped doing.

Azeem a icrit : Once again, the familiar question: anyone else discovered the amazing Joanna Newsum? She's only 24 and her potential is awesome. Azeem in London NP: Joanna Newsum - Only Skin - ------------------------ No I haven't heard her music, but the way you talk about her, and from what I've heard in the media here, i'm gonna have to! They talked about her on some cultural BBC program recently, and everyone on the panel liked her. The Word has a one-third-of-a-page review, they say things like "faces the charge of being the year's most extraordinary record.... of unparalleled and unearthly imagination.... About her voice: .. perfectly suited to the role of story-teller, never distracting from the lengthy, fast-flowing and thoroughly absorbing narratives. The review ends with calling the cd "an astonishing work of art". I'm off to the record-store (well, tomorrow morning when they open...)!

Well, I'll tell ya, I'm Trey, I live in a guest house in Laurel Canyon and am a lifelong Joni fan (thanks, Mom), and I'm a 19 year old male. I am sure you older dudes won't pay a lick of attention to me. I entered all the stuff on my profile if you are into who I am, but I wanted to talk about Joni right now, not me. Heck ya, I was at the Gallery thing Friday night. I had my finger on all things Joni for the last few years, so, heck ya, I knew all about it. I walked in all tall and proud and then lost my balance. I saw people with stars in their eyes and tears to go along with and knew -- I knew my place was found - -- no t ten minutes from my house. Th e stuff she hang wasn't my stuff. I pal of mine sent me a book about some stuff she hung in her Canada show -- that was better. What's going on with this stuff Joni -- I wouldn't buy it -- but I have no money. I hope she sold some. The stuff in this exhibit was very dang DARK. I dunno if I would go to a party at anyone's house that had that stuff in their living room - but what do I know about art? So, I am hangin' there Friday night and this cool gal comes over and starts chattin me up. I looked up and damn if it's not Joni. She takes me around to see a picture she says she thinks I look like. Although I am intoxed by cheap wine, I agree the dude does look like me. We chat a minute - lots of cool people are all over her - and she said she had to go, but invited me back for the next night party. She even took me over to a guy that asked me my name and put it on a list. What the heck, I showed up the next night. Easy entry since I was listed, but it was a whole different party. High class - it was catered by some famous Chinese restaurant (didn't catch the name), we had nice martinis, fine wine and champagne, and some awesome caviar that would make my Mom blush. Great spread. This was freaking Joni's night --not the low budget night before. Dang, I did it all. I met some cool dudes that were long time fans. I didn't know a lot of the people at the party, but they helped out and I got a chance to talk to Graham Nash, Beverly D'Angelo, Cameron Crowe, Darell Hannah and a few others I probably shouldn't mention -- but suffice to say JM has some cool pals. The lady was crushed with VIP folks and I didn't even get a chance to say hey. But it was cool to see her so happy and with her buds. Been reading about her beauty. She is beautiful, but we all must admit that when someone touches your life as much as she can with her music - when we see her, of course she is beautiful. going to bed, Trey. _________________________________________________________________ Buy, Load, Play.

When i got home i must say that i was a little disappointed by the catalog. there about 30 images that are 10 by 4 (more or less) with the lyrics of THE BEATING OF BLACK WINGS, SLOUCHING TOWARD BETHLEHEM AND THE 3 GREAT STIMULANTS facing the images. so far so good. in the back they had all 60 works. but imho they don't translate well to such a small size. already out of focus, it's difficult to see details. in the gallery the luminosity is amazing. i'd still recommend the catalog. joni, ever brilliant and really trying to help people shake down or shake off tyranny.! other small details- at the opening i understood that there were 200 of the small catalog, when in fact mine was numbered 20/2000! the big folios are the way to go--nice and big, suitable for framing and there are just 250. there price is a deterrent.. but hey there's always santa- right. and alas joni has just sold 1 work - it's the one with the nuclear explosion that says the end, the one i'm next to in the slide show. thanks again to all who are helping me see beauty, and all posters and to everyone for the photos and stories of recent gatherings, dave and lindsey too. and isn't helena's work awesome? happy trails lesli ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 19:28:56 -0800 From: "=?ISO-8859-1?Q?LESLI=20A=20WATTS?=" Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=32=27nd=20opening=20and=20new=20songs?= one of many lurkers who was at the 1st opening, e mailed me privately and said he had heard that joni was going to sing a new song at that private show. sick with jealousy i asked lev if that had happened. he said no. so we can all wait for the debut. lesli ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 23:31:08 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: attention la joni lurkers - more= 20joni openings? like tonght! - --- LESLI A WATTS wrote: > ****************************************************** > lev was very gracious and showed us his > giant printer. he told us about the process > used too. they were reverse negatives, onto which > joni rubbed green pigment with her hands. then the > images were transferred by computer > to the canvases. > I like that Joni is branching out and doing stuff that's a little more experimental, rather than the classical type of painting she had been doing.
