It's freeware and you can get it from Version Tracker. It's a tiny program that will record any sound playing on your computer as an aiff file. iTunes will convert it to mp3. For videos on You Tube, get PodTube. It's also free from Version Tracker. It only works on You Tube though. It will download the front playing video on You Tube and convert it to mp4. It is meant for playing on an iPod. mp4 is really bad quality on larger screens. I haven't found a good flash video extractor for Mac yet.

Yes Michael Brecker - Tenor Supremo Black Napkins with Frank Zappa, and work with Billy Cobham. What a Loss! Re Don Juan's Reckless Daughter - Dreadful Album. Jaco Pastorios was a wonderful bass player. despite that Album. I can't even try to play like him: fretless angel - now literally. But superb on Heijra. But I think that possibly John Guerin's influence on HOSL was for the better if not the Roses. Whilst Listening to For the Roses today. I thought I was glad I wasn't that creative. The cost is not growing up, and all the difficulties being a free spirit with titanic talent entails. I'm am really confused about this whole e-mail update. Am I supposed to add & comment? I suppose so. Given this, MOA is the best Live Album ever, I have the slightly short SAL, but it isn't my favourite anyway, even 4 way street is poor in places (Testoerone battle between Stephen & Neil (FZ Mothers Live 4 unreleased recordings of CSNY "fighting in the dressing room at the Fillmore East")) Yes RNH best version ever also Woodstock TS & the LA Express Wow! Also HOSL Favourite Album Edith, Scarlet, and the rest. Just wish I could sing or play one tenth as well. Have got my daughter to learn to Play Joni & Carole King on Piano. Don't really care about Modern Bands, but just wish I could fingerpick. Yes Like RLJ also (who wouldn't) . Agree GW Bush is not fit for office, and that Antony Blair has let UK side down badly, re Iraq, and that interests of Halliburton have been paramount. Would have loved to have seen Joni more than once only London 74 with CSNY, LA Express. Paradoxically would really love to be able to play her acoustic guitar stuff, but haven't got the chops yet. Can't remember any more strands.

Hi Patti, I learned Heijira from the Shadows and Light album and she actually says on this one: "As snow gathers like bolts of lace, waltzing on a bridal girl...." and "Strains of Michael Brecker coming through the snow and the pinewood trees..." I may be a word or two off on the second quote but Michael Brecker is the musician of choice in these lyrics. My favorite line in this song is: "We're only particles of change, I know, I know...orbiting around the sun...but it's hard to have that point of view...when I'm always hung up on someone...white flags of winter chimneys...waving truce against the moon...in the mirrors of a modern bank...from the window of my hotel room...." Man I can see that everytime! Sherelle From: Patti Witten From "Hejira:" the final couplets of each of the three verses are perfect, beautiful. " I see something of myself in everyone just at this moment of the world As snow gathers like bolts of lace waltzing on a ballroom girl." _________________________________________________________________ Get Hilary Duffs homepage with her photos, music, and more. http://www.live.com/?addtemplate=hilary&ocid=T001MSN30A0701 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:49:42 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer, njc Yes!

For anyone who is interested in the march, here is some information (because you won't see it in your local newspaper or on your TV screen): "With support from MoveOn.org, True Majority, Working Assets, the RainbowPUSH Coalition, the National Organization for Women and hundreds of other national and local groups, word about the Jan. 27th antiwar mobilization is reaching far and wide. Momentum is building and people from all walks of life and every corner of the country will be marching on Washington, DC, on Saturday, Jan. 27th. Our message will be clear, our voice will be strong: End the war in Iraq, Bring all the troops home now! We urge you to join us!" That's from: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/index.php If you go to that link and click on "transportation" you will see that there are buses coming from all over the country, and some "peace trains", too! http://www.peacetraintodc.com/ You can order a sign for the march here (For Free!): http://www.workingforchange.com/webgraphics/Jan27signs.html "We are at the moment when our lives must be placed on the line if our nation is to survive its own folly. Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. "If you're feeling contempt Well then you tell it." (Hey! That's nine words!) Peace, Patti P., wondering how they used to organize marches in the 60s without the internet NPIMH: And so once again Oh, America my friend And so once again You are fighting us all And when we ask you why You raise your sticks and cry and we fall Oh, my friend How did you come To trade the fiddle for the drum You say we have turned Like the enemies you've earned But we can remember All the good things you are And so we ask you please Can we help you find the peace and the star Oh my friend We have all come To fear the beating of your drum _________________________________________________________________ Search for grocery stores.

So nicel said Norma Jean!!! Perfect! I think Joni is not good with funerals. Everyone handles grief in their own way. I think she needs to handle hers in solitude. I'm sure it's very hard to lose such wonderful musical companions. Shadows and Light is a work of art in my opinion. When introducing the band, she has a cute name for Michael Brecker when she introduces him. I can't quite make it out but it sounds like "Wrecky Brecker" or something like that. When she calls him this, she giggles right afterward. It makes me know that there was a comradarie and friendship between them as well.

And I could tell Joni, this world was never made for anyone as beautiful as her. But hey, she's doing something about it--she lights up the darkness! I think the public would love that painting on a postal stamp, for starters. But will they get it? The best album to get to get familiar with some of her art work is 'Travelogue.' I say this to Monika and the new fans. Joni's music has to purchased, because it would be a sin of art not to. Joni's music is not for downloads. That would be comparable to one who chooses the Big Red soda water over a fine vintage wine from back in 1957. I love Travelogue's paintings. Everybody should get it! For the enlightened ones, there should be a copy in every home. The paintings on pages 5-6 have a different twist with Joni's sweetness but are an absolute must for these times...oh, these troubled times.

The first two that pop into my head are the covers of Blue and LOTC, but there are so many more worthy images! You KNOW there may be more. Joni skating (cover of Songs of a Prairie Girl) would be nice, too, and......... All this talk about stamps reminds me of the head full of quandary I had one day at the post office. I needed a 60 cent stamp and was offered these two: a map of Canada, or a picture of Amelia! A wide world of noble Joni causes. I think I took Amelia, after explaining my "problem" to the clerk.

But given Joni's growth & progression at this time, DJRD seems like a reasonable next album after Hejira. "Dreadful" certainly doesn't sound like an appropriate description...

When they gave Joni back the first guitar she ever played, I could relate to the feeling of coming full circle with a guitar like this. A few years ago, I got the first one I played back too. My cousin in Florida found it in the attic of the house my aunt had just sold. He was making one more check through to see if they had gotten everything. He was surprised to find the guitar. An old Epiphone. He asked me if I had left a guitar there, and I said not that I know of but I'd be glad for him to send it to me. Nobody else in our family plays. When I saw the guitar, I couldn't believe it... it was the first guitar I played as a child about 10 years old in Port Huron, Michigan. I was too small to comfortably hold it upright back then so I put it across my lap, and the first time I strummed it, it was magical... a moment frozen in time for me. It stayed at my grandfather's house, and I went home to Nebraska and played violin which was what my mother wanted me to play, but I longed to play guitar. I couldn't believe it came back to me after so many years. My grandfather from Port Huron must have brought it to Florida years ago along with a lot of other "relics" he gave my aunt. On the sticker inside it has "Kalamazoo, Michigan." The guitar still sounds good after years of being in the attic in Florida which is another miracle.

I was right by Graham when I saw CSNY this summer. He was really nice, bowing his head, waving, mouthing thank you almost after every song to the audience---really looking grateful to the fans and enjoying himself. Neil Young looked up once I think at the audience. Stephen Stills walked up to the front of the stage looking at the audience whenever he played a solo to show off (love his playing but you gotta admit he enjoys showing off and can be smug). David Crosby was just into his singing/playing. I went with my sister, a non CSNY fan based on a deal that I'd go with her to Radiohead (which never happened), and she was like why can't we be by Neil? He's the one I know best! Not that she's a Neil Young fan either but she's most familiar with him but she did say Graham and her made eye contact a lot. - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:00:09 EST From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: Re: Don Juan's Reckless Daughter... (+ Hejira) I was at a cd store a couple weeks ago and I saw they had this album (DJRD) on vinyl (and on cd mind you). I contemplated buying it because it was only $1 and I figured what do I have to lose? I don't have a record player but I am starting to collect records so I can be one of those people who scoffs at others, "oh, well I have THAT on vinyl." But in the end I didn't buy it because I don't even have it on cd yet. :( - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:09:45 EST From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: Travelogue/Downloading/Albums art work is 'Travelogue.' I say this to Monika and the new fans. Joni's music has to purchased, because it would be a sin of art not to. Joni's music is not for downloads - ---------------------------------------- I was at this store that I really like last weekend that sells incense, music, some hippie-ish clothes, beads, etc. and I strolled over to the "M" section and they had Travelogue there. I am interested in Joni's artwork. I like what I've seen on her album covers so far. I don't know art per se but I can appreciate beauty. I read a more recent interview with Joni and she said something to the extent that no one takes her art seriously so she doesn't take it seriously either anymore and right off I thought, "aww Joni you don't really mean that man, come on now." I mean it's one thing to have one talent/passion but to have two?!? Damn. Keep at it man. And as far as downloading, I just don't get those people who have a shitload of burnt cds. I love, love, LOVE cds. I love owning them! I love knowing that I'm giving money to the artist who made it so in a way encouraging them to make more albums! I love when the words on printed in the insert. I love the insert itself--the pictures, the listing of the musicians, any notes the artist makes. I love covers! God I love it all so much that I detest Ipods and all that crap. It's so cold....and impersonal....there's no connection there...you just download whatever at random and lose the magic of albums. I love the art of the album. I love that an artist works at putting a suitable album together the way they want it to be heard. WHY TAKE THAT AWAY YOU CRUEL IPODS?!?!?!?! I'm sorry. I'm in a silly mood tonight but I am dead serious about liking albums for what they are. - -Monika P.S. Is anyone bothered by my long posts? I'm sorry if I write too much.

I was at my friend's house yesterday and I asked him to watch some of my love, YouTube, since it doesn't work on my computer and one of the things we watched was Joni's 1970 performance of "Both Sides Now." Very lovely performance if I do say so myself. However, as soon as she started strumming, before any singing even, my friend goes, "oh you like country music? Cool." I explained this wasn't country and so forth. Since then I've put this song on a few times listening closely, even playing it for my brother and sister, trying to see if there was any truth in that question. I don't see it, or well hear it. Do you think this song sounds "country" or has a country tint to it or is he just on crack? - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:22:53 EST From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: NJC Open mic night Oh, I played at an open mic night earlier this evening and I gotta say there was some nice music there. I was the only person though to play all originals but hey it's cool. However, I heard some very nice covers of some Bob Dylan songs (including Idiot Wind which is a fantastic song), some Beatles songs (including Here Comes The Sun which I love and love George Harrison all the more for writing), some James Taylor songs, and a song perhaps you could help me out with. I've heard it before but can't recall who sings it but I do like it. Who sings the original song that goes, "I don't want you to wash my clothes, I don't need you to clean my kitchen (or something like that)............I just wanna make love to you...love to you....etc etc." Does it ring a bell? - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:23:18 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Travelogue/Downloading/Albums - --- Motitan@aol.com wrote: > P.S.
