That was great! I'm sure Prince was over the moon that she gave a tribute to him. I know Joni loves him, too. I kind of think of Prince as Joni's little brother of whom she is very proud. Every now and then there is some small snippet in the local rags of one of Prince's parties here and occasionally Joni is mentioned as attending. They always do sound amazing. Thanks also for the Laurel Canyon website link. Wow! I have the book but still haven't gotten around to reading it. Argh - why can't we all live in Laurel Canyon and go to Prince's parties? ;-) The other night I had to go over to BevMo to stock up on Thanksgiving beverages. This BevMo is in the mall right across from the gallery where Joni is exhibiting. It was wonderfully surreal to pull out of the parking garage and see the huge two story long "Joni Mitchell" banner draped over the front of the building. We should have some kind of big permanent banner here for her.

They both taste like very good, sweet chicken. Rabbit also tastes like good chicken to me. Then there are my Mexico stories, one of which involves starving college students driving through hundreds of miles of the Sonoran desert and a stand in the middle of nowhere and cat tacos, aherm. Tasted just like really good chicken! ;-) Can't do anything gamey, though - the taste always creeps me out. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone, even if only in spirit! Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 20:33:23 +1100 From: "Ashley" Subject: Annie Haslam NJC Hi Everyone, This is an update from Annie Haslem... Ash ----- Dear Friends This letter has been a long time coming because so much has been happening in my world! My animal family are doing well and since I wrote last I have adopted a little boy Chiwawa (that's how I spell it)! who I have named 'Love'......I have called him many names since he has been with me !!!! HELP he's a RUNNER!!!!!!!!! but overall his name suits him well. I find that people are usually quite surprised by his name which has turned out to be an effective way to spread the most powerful word there is! I LOVE IT! He was rescued from the Euthanasia room in a high kill shelter in Philadelphia by Animal Alliance, a wonderful caring organization, dedicated to saving animals from shelters. I hope this next piece of news is a nice surprise for you, I even surprised myself by making the decision to do this now! I was going to release this sometime in the future but decided now was the time. My new CD is called 'Woman Transcending' and is comprised of rare recordings from my 'solo' career, dating back to the 70', 80's and 90's. I am extremely excited for people to hear these songs, some of which have never been released by anyone, and some that were released on other CD's that were not so easy to find. The songs I have chosen for this CD, cover several styles of music, some that you wouldn't normally hear from me. Getting all the elements together was quite emotional as several wonderful people that were involved, were lost to us in recent years. This CD is a tribute to them. So many of you, have been with me on this musical journey, it has been a wild ride sometimes, with stumbling blocks and upsets, joys and much LAUGHTER......but never giving up....... We have all gone through these chapters in our 'lives'. With many of you I have had personal contact and insight into 'your lives'. Whether it was assurance and support in illness, or advice on 'how do I become a singer'! I am always touched by any request that is aimed at me as a 'regular' person and not just an entertainer...... I am eternally grateful to everyone involved in this CD and also to everyone who will get to hear it. During these recordings, I was very fortunate to work with some wonderful and talented musicians and songwriters, including Tony Visconti, Steve Howe, Michael Haslam, Warwick Embury, Mike Rutherford, BA Robertson, Mike Read, Rod Edwards, Neale Heywood, Kit Hain, Raphael Rudd, The London Symphony Orchestra, David Biglin, Dick Plant, Bob Brown and Ward Parks. I am also proud of the performances from my band at the time, Rave Tesar, Mark Lambert, Dave Keyes, Joe Goldberger and Larry Fast, who performed as well as produced the first three songs. Although Raphael Rudd didn't write the song he is performing on, I chose this because he is playing the Harp, which was quite rare; it is a beautiful piece of work. We sadly lost Raphael in a car accident. His spirit and talent were strong, and all who knew him, miss him a lot! I also sing a Bee Gees song which I found suited my voice very well, Tony Visconti did a great job with this one. It was originally recorded for the Blessing in Disguise CD but for some reason we did not include it. I am glad we didn't, as I feel this is the right time for it to be heard...... One song in particular is very special to me, in that it is the only song I ever recorded with my Brother Michael, whom I lost to lung cancer a couple of years ago. His voice was magnificent and I am proud to be able to share it with you. If you have never heard Michael sing , I think you will be surprised and impressed by the power and timbre in his voice, it always brings me to tears......a cross between Elvis and Roy Orbison. This recording is quite 'raw', but even so, I decided I wanted his voice to be heard, so I ask you to be forgiving with the quality of this piece. It was done on the spur of the moment while I was visiting Michael and recovering from breast cancer, singing this with him helped me a great deal in my healing process! I wish I could have sang with him more. A friend I wish I could have known better, was Warwick Embury. I met him and Jo for the first time in 1986. We hit it off immediately, we had the same sense of humor. Apart from being a very talented songwriter, he was also a 'special' soul, who touched every person he met. He was larger than life in many ways. 'Shadows' is one of my favourite songs on this CD. I remember the day we recorded it, as there was a lot of snow on the ground and it was FREEZING. It took me a while to 'defrost' before I could sing......and now, as I write this, I can smell the log fire in Warwick's lovely old house....what lovely memories. In 1998, I traveled to Jackson TN to record with members of Carl Perkins' family. This was an incredible experience, meeting and recording with this very talented family. It was truly an honour. I recorded two 'country ' songs written by Carl, Debbie, Stan and Greg.. I loved singing these two songs, it shows a completely different side of me....Annie 'sings' country! On a lighter note, my experience meeting and working with Mike Read on 'Hunter Trials was a lot of fun! Mike who is very well known DJ in the UK, has recorded two CD's, dedicated to the poetry of English Poet 'Sir John Betjeman'. Mike brought the poetry even more alive, by adding his poignant music. I enjoyed singing this song very much, as I could pretend I was a young schoolgirl 'again'! You will hear me giggle towards the end !!! A fun piece! This collection of songs was recorded at various times and in different countries, and because of this, the sound quality will vary a little......but I feel this adds to the emotion and beauty of this CD. 'Woman Transcending' also represents my 'personal' journey through Music and Art. Art is such a huge part of my life now, so I couldn't let this CD out into the world without having it involved. The painting for the cover artwork is my portrayal of 'Leonardo de Vinci'. Giclee copies of the painting on canvas and Archival paper, are available through my website. at: www.anniehaslam.com I am particularly thrilled to share this painting with you, as it is my own meaningful rendition of an extraordinary man, that also happened to be known as 'The Renaissance Man.' He was also a vegetarian and a singer! There were no second thoughts when I was deciding what artwork to use for this project. This just felt right. 'Woman Transcending' will be released on White Dove Records, December 5th, and is now available through my website @ www.anniehaslam.com You can order your CD now and when they arrive they will be shipped immediately. If you wish me to sign the CD, then please request that in the comments section of your order. If you have any other requests or questions, please e-mail whtdoveorg@aol.com I do hope this warms your heart, brings back fond memories and makes you smile.

I might have to pick this up...it's on sale this weekend at Borders. A weird thing happened with "Get Back" though. I had listened to "Because" and then "Get Back" started but "Because" started again as well and I was hearing both at the same time, on top of each other. Very surreal sounding actually, kind of cool. I like the little clip of "Julia" at the end of "Eleanor Rigby" but "Julia" might be my favorite Beatles song of all so I wish they had included a full version. I love hearing John Lennon's voice on songs like "Strawberry Fields"...what an amazing voice he had. Truly a great loss.

The video formats, PAL, NTSC and SEACAM refer to the number of pixels on the screen. That's why it it dependent on your screen, rather than your DVD player like region coding. North America uses NTSC whereas, the UK and Australia went with the higher resolution format of PAL. That's why Australian TV shows look like documentaries and Hollywood movies have that Vaseline quality. Most TVs and computer screens these days can handle the PAL resolution these days but, apparently, the United States has banned computer screens and TVs that can display PAL in an effort to further restrict imported video.

It has nothing to do with your DVD player. It has to do with your screen. The screen has to be able to accept format or resolution. Most TVs and computer screens these days have the resolution to cope with either format but I have been told that the US government has put in place a ban on screens that allows other formats than NTSC. I don't know if this is true or not. Because PAL is a higher resolution than NTSC, you may get white areas or it won't play at all. Region coding is different. That is a security lock on DVDs. Most people know how to hack their DVD player in order to play them but computer DVD players are a little harder to hack. You may ruin the firmware. A way around that is to use a media player like VLC. It can play any media file - .wmv, mpeg2/4, .avi, .ogg and even DVD format. It totally ignores the region coding. I recommend it to everyone. It comes in Windows and Mac versions.

To check out the demo versions of a few of her new songs go to Judie's MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/tzuke More good news! Judie's 1982 album 'Shoot the Moon' has been re-issued and is available from the Tzuke shop. The album has been re-mastered and contains 4 bonus tracks never released on CD before: 'Sold a Rose' (B side of the single 'Love On The Border'), 'Run On Luck' (B side of the single 'I'm Not A Loser'), plus 2 previously unreleased demos: 'I'm Not A Loser', and 'How Do I Feel'. http://www.tzuke.com/shoot.html Due to popularity we are also going to keep the 'Summer Sale' prices for CD's until the 15th of December. Some of you will have noticed the availability of downloading the albums at www.tzuke.com via Safesell. This is a fantastic system giving very high quality downloads. The only issue is that it is based around Windows Media and therefore has compatibility problems with Macs and iPods, because of this we have placed three 'best of' albums and Judie's last album 'The End of the Beginning' onto iTunes and Napster. Also on iTunes you can find a free-to-subscribe podcast showing the development of a fabulous young artist by the name of Bailey Tzuke. If you download iTunes then search for Bailey Tzuke you will find the Bailey Tzuke Video Diary! This does contain some fruity language so may not be for everyone, but it is full of fun and revelations! It also contains a few appearances from the one and only Judie Tzuke, many appearances from Ben Mark and even myself a few times. For those of you who have taken an interest in the hugely talented Ben Mark, he is presently working with Bailey on her forthcoming album, as well as working on his own extraordinarily promising second album. Just to finish I have had a few queries about the out of stock albums, we plan to re-stock before the next tour, which as I mentioned, isn't too far away. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you, at a venue near you, soon! All the best, Jamie Big Moon Records P.O.

I just made Grandmother Parlette's turnips, and the whole house smells pretty funky. Turnips are a b@#$h to cut (an axe would be better than a knife), but I succeeded in doing it without a Julia Child blood-gushing-out-your-hand SNL skit moment, so I'm ready to celebrate. I've been reflective all week, kind of sad (missing my Dad something awful, wishing I could be with my sons, other personal stuff....), but coming out of it nicely tonight to count my blessings. One of which is all the people at this party! Bless you all. I've learned so much from all of you, and have made some wonderful friends (I dare not start naming names). You teach me so much about music (dragging me out of the 70s...lol!), and life, laughing (and crying) all the way (Hey! Jingle Bells...it's comin' on Christmas), and you know.... Always giving out something to grow and feed on. I'd like to share a laugh with you tonight that was in my local paper. It took me a long time to find it (I'm not the best googler nor a librarian extraordinaire like Jerry or Deb) so I hope this comes out okay. Reminds me a bit of Helena's sharing (thank you again, Helena!) what Joni said about GWB sitting with Nancy Pelosi....that he is "cooked". Well, so is his turkey: https://www.copleynews.com/1cns/editorialcartoons/bn/Default.idq?HTMLQueryForm=default.htm&TemplateName=default&SEARCH=CONTENTS&ORIGINALQUERY=dad&USING=%24&CISORT=DATE&WHEN=This+Week&GO=GO%21 I have one more thing to share ce soir but will make that a separate email.

I'm not a big fan of turnips, although I do eat them raw. I'm not much good with sharp objects either, so everything is made with just a little blood of my own. Happy (American) Thanksgiving, Patti, and all the rest of the Americans. It's always good to be thankful for something and I am also thankful for my friends, the cyber kinds and the rest as well.

I don't mean to dig down too deep, and cause anyone to lose good sleep, but the greatest joy and blessing that I am thankful for tonight is that my sons are safe and sound. At the same time (both sides now), I feel "survivor's guilt" for anyone who has children in the war, or anyone who has lost children in the war. That goes for our troops, and the innocent victims everywhere. So tonight I send up my prayer, hoping you will join me tomorrow when you perhaps say grace around your table, that peace will have a chance. I have a mental picture of Graham Nash and Bonnie Raitt from their concerts this summer, ending them with arms raised after their encores, saying/pleading: "Pray for peace! Pray for peace!" They said it like it was something to strive for. Most of us on the JMDL are comfortable, and have roofs over our heads, and heat, and electricity (TIC: Electricity!), and education and healthy children....but so many do not. This email I received today says it better than I can: Subject: Remembering Iraqi Women on Thanksgiving November 22, 2006 Dear Patricia, As we gather with our families and friends this Thanksgiving, let us take a moment to acknowledge how much we truly have to be thankful for. Love, health, an abundance of food on the table, a brand new Congress--all are worth cherishing and celebrating. At the same time, let's not forget how lucky we are to have our basic needs met--clean water, electricity, access to medicine and education. Let's remember that our sisters in Iraq are not always so fortunate. In March, 2006, CODEPINK organized and sponsored a delegation of Iraqi women--women from all walks of life, from many of the religious and ethnic groups in that country--to come share their stories with the American public, to tell us what it's like to walk in their shoes. Dr. Rashad Zidan, a pharmacist and mother of four, was part of this delegation. Horrified by the devastation wrought by the war, Rashad founded the Knowledge for Iraqi Women Society to, in her words, "relieve the suffering of Iraqi women by providing financial, occupational, medical, and educational resources." K4IWS currently has 70 staff and more than 300 volunteers throughout Iraq. In a recent note to CODEPINK's Gael Murphy, Rashad writes: You know Gael, before the war I was having my simple life with my family. I was having just humble wishes to educate my children, to see them married, to see my grandchildren. I wanted to help poor people and to take care of my parents. You know all these things evaporated with this war. I pray every day to God to keep my children alive. Education and marriage are now luxuries. And even when we do go to school or get married, it is colorless, as is everything in our lives. I am thinking day and night about those poor widows and orphans that were created by Bush's bringing his democracy to our country and I am doing my best to help them. (click to read the entire letter) Regards, Rashad You can read learn more of her story in this interview, which includes these wise words: "In these last three years, the U. S. has just listened to its own voice, but I think it is time to listen to authentic Iraqi voices. If you listen to the people who are in the midst of the conflict, they will help you better understand how to end the violence and suffering because they have firsthand knowledge and experience." This Thanksgiving as we count our blessings, let's also remember to listen to Iraqi voices like Rashad's, and acknowledge the suffering of the Iraqi people under US occupation, a horrible repetition of the aggression and violence that marked the first Thanksgiving. Let's use this time of gratitude to pledge anew to work for peace. Thank you, wonderful CODEPINKers. We are grateful for your commitment to peace every single day. With love, peace, and endless thanks, Andrea, Anedra, Dana, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Jodie, Laura, Liz, Medea, Nancy, Patricia, Rae, Samantha, and Sonia ********** And me, too....the peace chirp! Love to all, Patti P. _________________________________________________________________ Fixing up the home?
