Michel" Subject: RE: The Twelve Weeks OF Christmas MUSIC SHARING PROJECT & G-D Rest Ye Brother James.... Howdy Folks, I do hope you all are doing Well this Holly-Daze Season... I have been preparing to send up this offer to the list all week, and it now being Christmas Day, and with the passing of 'The Hardest Working Man in Show Business", 'THE Godfather" himself; I feel today is appropriate... That being said...I would like to dedicate this offer to Brother James; and to keeping the flame alive... OFFER: Once a week for the next Twelve weeks I will be offering up a different set of music to the list...The first 5 folks who respond will be accepted; and my hope is that this will also inspire those folks, and perhaps others, to keep passing this music, and more, along...Like I said, Keep the Fire alive, Keep the music vibrant and alive through sharing... "Play it Forward"...:-) **This Week's Offer: Sly & The Family Stone September 10, 1970 VPRO radio session [live no audience] Piknik Kasteel Groeneveld Baarn Amsterdam, Holland From 1971 rebroadcast: off-air reel source with splices from an alternate source. CD: 31:26 1- Thank You 5:45 2- > M'Lady 4:46 3- Sing a Simple Song 5:33 4- Stand! 5:23 5- > Dance To The Music 4:55 5- > Music Lover 1:44 6- I Want to Take You Higher [reprise] [cuts] 3:16 This is a fixed version of what was recently seeded, which has serious digital dropouts for some of tracks 3 and 4 - now cleaned up by splicing in sections from an alternate source of similar sound quality. The show has also been normalized which improved it all a lot to my ears (listen on headphones if you have any doubts). No lineage info on the alternate source but it's from the shorter rebroadcast and is low gen. I'm hazy on exactly what "Piknik Kasteel Groeneveld Baarn" means as to the venue, place and radio show but I've had this previously listed as Baary, Holland "Piknik Show" VPRO session. I've also seen it listed as 9-2-70, so 9-10-70 might have been the original broadcast date with the info I had being for the recording date. Any clarifications will be appreciated. Lineage: 1971 VPRO FM broadcast>Revox Reel2Reel-deck>WAV>FLAC Pristine Stereo Soundboard AND.... Stevie Wonder 03.04.73 Berkeley Community Theater Berkeley, CA Disc 1 1. Bill Graham Intro > For Once In My life (splice at 40 seconds) (many channel adjustments) 2. If You Really Love Me 3. Me & Mrs. Jones 4. Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You?) > (discontinuity at about 15 min) 5. Instrumental > Let Me Tell You Something, My Darling 6. Think I'm On The Right Track (discontinuity at 33:01) 7. I Was Made To Love Her 8. Feel It Disc 2 9. Killing Me Softly 10. You Are The Sunshine of My Life > 11. Big Brother > 12. Blowing In The Wind > 13. Medley: What's Going On? > Betcha By Golly Wow! > Ma Cherie Amore > Summer Breeze > 14. Love Having You Around > 15. Signed, Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours) > 16. The way you do it last night, you do it like you should > 17. harmonica song 18. Superstition// (w/ Buddy Miles & Paul Keegan?) Source: BGP SBD > Open reel Ampex videotape or to conventional RtR (unclear which equipment was used) Transfer #1: (c. 1988) re-anneal master tapes (if needed) > D (probably a Sonic Solutions ADC @ 24/48) > PCM tape Remaster #1: (c. 1988) PCM > hiss & artifact removal > "sonic solutions process" > DAT (or other digital medium > DAT) Transfer #2: (1990) MDAT > Nakamichi deck> XLII-S/90 > MC Transfer #3: (1990) MC > Nakamichi deck (playback) > Nakamichi deck (record) > XLII-S/90 > C(1) Transfer #4: (2005) C(1) > Aiwa AD-F850 > THC Cables > Edirol U-A5 > USB > Wavelab 5.01a @ 24/96 > WAV Final Mastering: WAV > Wavelab 5.0a (X-noise to reduce hiss; 192 KhZ resampler > 44.1k; L3 Multimaximizer to increase gain and dither to 16 bits) > FLAC. The recording runs just shy of 90 minutes. If splitting onto two discs, the suggested split is after track 8. There are a half-dozen small discontinuities in the recording, including abrupt transitions between songs and small gaps, some with brief silences and others without. There was a tape flip in Killing Me Softly at about 4:15. - -----Like I said, I will take the first 5 folks who respond to me OFFLIST, with the subject heading "Play It Forward"...Please indicate to me your name, addy, and preference of source; either FLAC or Audio disks. There is no obligation to pass this music along, you may simply enjoy it with no strings; but if you are able to pass it along to another in the spirit in which it was created and then here offered again, that would be much appreciated and a fitting tribute to Brother James.and the music itself.:-) - --Well, there MUST really be a JAM in Heaven today. "Can I get a witness.HA!!" Amen and Namaste Y'all.KEEP THE FUNK ALIVE!! Hope you all are Enjoying your day, and I Wish you and all your families Much Health, Happiness, Peace, Prosperity and Love in this New Year to come and Beyond. Be Well.

I typically do a "year-in-review" kind of thing and make fun of things that happened work-wise & world-wise. Particularly challenging to steer clear of the political scene but I was able to do so. However, I do have to say that I was really in the zone when I composed that "Night Before Christmas" one - I had actually considered writing an updated one for this year, but probably best to leave well enough alone. I used to enjoy doing song parodies, maybe I'll give that a go. Bob NP: Ani, "Coming Up" Tired of spam? Yahoo!

At 45 min., where is Neil's acoustic set? 3 Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Stadium Arcadium" This band is locked in. 4 The Who - "Endless Wire" - Rock is dead. Long live rock. Guitars good. 5 The Beatles - "Love" George Martin & son remash from the master tapes, sonically a quantum leap, many songs mostly intact, ooh the bass tones, esp. the dvd audio option 6 Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - "All The Roadrunning" ...just right 7 Sean Lennon - "Friendly Fire" John & Yoko's son writes, produces, plays most of it, even directs a mini movie on dvd, '70's sounding, in a good way. 8 Neil Young - "Living With War" Shakey cranks out a new batch, with trumpet. "Let's Impeach The President" : "..don't need no more lies" 9 Stevie Wonder - "Time 2 Love" There will never be another "Songs in the Key of Life" or "Inner Visions", but the man is a national treasure. 10 Paul McCartney - "Ecce Cor Meum" Chorale/Orchestral is his 3rd classical work. A lot of latin. No catchy refrains, just unsilly love songs. 10.5 David Crosby - "If I Could Only Remember My Name" Rhino re-issue does it right, plus dvd audio disc and unrel track with Jerry. Disappointments: Lindsey Buckingham - "Under The Skin" Minimalist approach feels more like underdone demos Chris Daughtry - "Daughtry" Most interesting idol turns out wall-of-crap MTV- friendly noise. Beck on SNL - wtf is this? Best shows: Fiona Apple nearly melting down in Saratoga, CSN nearly melting in the 100+deg heat at Concord, Leon Russell for free in Ukiah park, Nina Gerber & Chris Webster, The Roches, Asleep At The Wheel, Tim O'Brien Best song of the year: "Zippy" by Michael Smith Movies: Borat, Stranger Than Fiction So Long, and thanks for all the fish: James Brown, Billy Preston, Syd Barrett, Ruth Brown, Ahmet Ertegun, Arif Mardin, Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett, Buck Owens, Arthur Lee, Coretta Scott King, Al Lewis, June Pointer, Maynard Ferguson, Ann Richards, Robert Altman, Emmett Kelly Jr, Peter Boyle Biggest drag: lingering war, and the men who brought it Biggest if not only positive side effect of same: New Joni art and songs ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2006 #491 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
