The parties were over, the church functions too For the next couple days I'd have nothing to do No bikes to assemble or toys to arrange And hope upon hope, no clothes to exchange When out on the lawn there arose such a hissing I sprang from my chair to see what I was missing I turned down my music and had a good look, Twas thinking it might be a burglar or crook! The Moon at the Window was bright to be sure And it caused the commotion to appear as a blur Then there was the strangest thing e'er in my 'burb, A big limousine that was parked on my curb! With a long-blond-haired rider, with cheeks oh so bony I knew in a moment it had to be Joni! She opened the door, with her crew she came out, And approaching my doorway she let out this shout "On Pansy, On Nietzsche, On Larry & Brian, On Shorter, On Isham, you guys quit your cryin' It'll be our great joy for a Joni fan so big To give him the gift of his own private gig!" At that point in time I knew not what to think, Perhaps I'd had excess martinis to drink? But up to my doorstep, they soon started knockin' "Come in here, ya'll, and let's get to rockin'!" It wasn't much space but we soon made it do With guitar & piano & dulcimer too! Joni then stated she'd play multi-sets And then I could join her for several duets Her voice how it twinkled! You just had to hear it! And of course, twixt her lips, an American Spirit, So all through the halls did her crystal sounds ring, From "Harlem in Havana" to "I Had A King" She played all night long, I could not trust my eyes, She said she'd do one more set, just for surprise, And then with remaining time she had afforded, Played all of the songs she had never recorded! I lept to my feet and applauded with glee, To finally hear 'lost' songs like "Strawflower Me", And when she'd completed the final refrains, She said she would encore with "Paprika Plains"! She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work Played all 16 minutes with nary a quirk, She finished, and told me "It's not quite enough, For here in my bag is some other cool stuff!" I pondered and wondered, pray what would she bring us "Don Juan's Reckless Demo's" & "Alternate Mingus" And I was so pleased that she gave them to me, And knew that I'd soon be creating a tree! I gave her a hug for the gifts she had brought me And thanked her for all of the lessons she'd taught me She said that her visit had been loads of fun, And she'd shoot for Ashara's in 2001! She sprang for her car, to her band gave a whistle And away they then sped like a heat-seeking missile But I heard her exclaim on this night oh so blest, "I love ALL of my fans, you guys are the best!!" .

In 1972 John and Yoko released "Happy Xmas/War is Over." I was a college freshman, and it became my instant favorite. You all know it, of course, but here are two versions for anyone with time on their hands. This one is tender and hopeful, with the children singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f320hSBGadY This next one is the grim reality of today. It is powerful and heartbreaking, but at the same time it inspires us to carry on the light of peace. Every little bit helps. "We cannot do great things, but we can do little things with great love." -- Mother Teresa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svSDzb-pWhg All I want for Christmas is a "surge" suppressor for those in power who think more troops is the answer. War is not the answer. And a Department of Homeland Psychiatry for the "Decider" and those same people. And on the lighter side, some new Joni in 2007. Yay! Sending up my prayers for love and peace for all, Patti P. _________________________________________________________________ Experience the magic of the holidays.

Gees, thanks Patti. It's very thoughtful and all but... it's... way inappropriate in December 06. I know she lost her son but she's not qualified to advise on bringing peace to the Sunnis and Shiites... Or security sharing with Syria or anything else that matters. Anything she might say is inappropriate noise right now. Bob Dylan asked the older generation to get out of the road long ago, eh? "Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'.

Even though I haven't contributed much this year, I've been lurking when possible. I hope that 2007 brings us all closer to peace. But unlike John Mayer's song "Waiting for the World to Change" I'm going to try to make things change, at least within my world. I thank many of the JMDLers for reminding me that peace is a process that requires constant care. I thank you all for the music you've shared this year. Special mention goes to Bob for his covers, Smurph for his fiction and comedy, and, of course, Les for keeping this list going. Peace, joy, love, health, and strength be yours in 2007.
