(insert cough here) ahem. all of that said, i would have stopped and planted myself there for the entire 45 minutes , i would have closed my eyes and listened with my heart. for those 45 minutes, joshua and i would have stood in concert, together, breathing in the same aire, the beauty of song. i would have stopped because of the music . i'm not over the moon over that he is a famous violinist per se. listen to him...ohhh, how he handles that strad, and makes it sing so tenderly. his playing is soulful and beautiful. red violin and i think, schindler's list are two of many song tracks he's played for. spend some time on his space, there are several gorgeous little clips of things he's done. just my quarter note's worth. mags~ np: rachmaninoff vocalise~joshua bell - --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos?

Just as disturbing as the notion of strip mining the moon, (could changing it's mass disturb earth's orbital balance?) is the little capitalist at the beginning of the article that has claimed ownership of the moon through some legal loophole, and has already sold 400 million acres of it to individuals and corporations, making himself a tidy 9 million bucks in the process. "One of the biggest is US space contractor Lockheed Martin, which is currently developing technologies that will enable future lunar residents to exploit the lunar surface.

" Okay, you go live there first, and get back to me, okay? Shoot one o' them moon raccoons fer dinner, while yer at it. Sometimes scientists are the stupidist people.

RR ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 18:01:52 -0400 From: passscribe@aol.com Subject: Joni part of Photo Exhibit in Daytona Beach Hi, gang, As many of you know, Ro & I are spending a short vacation with my cousin & his wife in Port Orange, Florida. Unfortunately, the weather has not been great and it was drizzle & rain all day today. FORTUNATELY, my cousin's wife Joan told us of a photo exhibit at the museum at Daytona Beach Community Collage, called "Kiss The Sky", featuring the work of noted rock photographer, Henry Diltz. So, what better day to check it out? I don't know if this exhibit has been traveling around or if any of you have seen it/mentioned it on the JMDL, but I just had to tell you all about it. First of all, Diltz is best known for his candids, portraits and album covers of such sixties & seventies artists as CSN, Neil Young, Mama Cass, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison & the Doors, Jackson Browne... and JONI! The photos on exhibit have been arranged mostly by catagory and then by artist, and the quality is supurb! As many of you know, I've been involved in photography most of my life and I've gotta tell ya... these things are EXQUISITE! Many are blown up to 30 x 40 inches and still retain unbelievable sharpness and resolution. There is a copy of the cover of the first CSN album enlarged to about 4 x 8 FEET and it's beautiful! Another shot of the Doors' Morrison Hotel takes up an entire 10 x 12 foot wall! I don't know if the originals Diltz shot were so good or that some work was done in the studio to make them so great, but the results are awesome. And then there's Joni. One wall contains over a dozen images of Joni and, to see that angelic face from the early years staring out at me from a 30 x 40 inch color portrait... I had tears in my eyes. Simply gorgeous! You know that b&w shot of Joni by the window of her Laurel Canyon house (it was in the latest David Crosby book, I think) it's there in full color with perfect lighting, and... there's another that goes with it right next to it. There are story boards on the walls by the photos telling you about the artists and the photos as well as a directory with info about each of the photo, all of which are numbered. It's a well-produced exhibit. There is also a room showing super 8 home movies Diltz shot at Woodstock, some of the folks setting up the stage but mostly of some of the attendees bathing in the nude in the lake (similar scenes are in the movie). Then, there's a DVD playing continuously on a large screen TV featuring Diltz & partner Gary Burton talking about the many album covers they've done. It includes footage of them going back to the present-day locations of some famous locales that aren't there any more (the Morrison Hotel, the house used on the first CSN album, etc.) and the stories behind the shoots. There a lot of footage of Joni (with CSN, Mama Cass and alone) that's REALLY interesting and I learned a lot I didn't know. You know those b&w stills of Joni & Graham in the back seat of a car, taken on the way to a shoot for CSN? Well, she was writing as the car was moving and Diltz was shooting candids. Long afterward, Diltz wanted to see what Joni was writing so he blew up one of the shots realy large and... you can see she was writing the lyrics to "Willie". Maybe some of you knew that but it was a surprise for me. There's also extensive talk & footage about many of Joni's other photo shoots and the album cover to Blue. Well, if anyone lives in the Daytona Beach area, or you feel like spending a couple of days at the beach here and checking out the exhibit, and you can drive or find a cheap air fare, I highly recommend this event. It runs until June and will have various additional displays on different days. For more info, contact the museum at (386) 506-4475 or www.smponline.org. Sorry this post is so long but... I'm psyched! Kenny B ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Were Mama Cass and Joni good friends before or more just friends among friends? - -Monika Well, from what I've read in the recent book, "Laurel Canyon", it seems that everyone in the LA music scene (and especially those who lived in Laurel Canyon, like Joni & Mama Cass) were pretty close. The age-old story has it that Mama Cass introduced Crosby & Stills to Nash for their first ever sing-together, but some who were there swear it was in Cass's house and others who were there still swear it was in Joni's living room. In the DVD/film I saw at the exhibit, it was clear that Joni was very close to all those other people in the early years, but some (like C, S & N) more than others.

Or he could be a barker with a smooth line. I wouldn't send him any money, would you? That's not what bugs me about the whole thing. 2 things bug me: 1. If, 100 years from now, the government decides to strip mine, the big business types will make their money on no-bid contracts. Their costs will all be subsidized, just like the nuclear industry's waste storage is subsidized. It would not be free fuel. 2. Here's the nightmare scenario. Imagine a barge full of a colossally enriched fuel is coming home from the moon. Imagine the barge breaks up on re-entry. Tons of 22nd century fuel go streaking across the sky at 3 times the speed of sound. I'm guessing it's gonna burn. It would make Hiroshima look like a pin head, okay? On the positive side, it sounds a little like The End of Days. I mean, the rapture would be a good thing, and we should welcome it. (Not!)

I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 23:59:41 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Subject: Re: QUESTION <> > And a daughter named Daisy June.> That's pretty close to "Daisy Jane", which was a song by America. Of course, this was before I was born but here's the back story on that song: >Says Gerry: "I wrote that in my cottage in England. I was a big fan of Nick Drake, and on one of his albums there's a song called 'Hazy Jane [II].' I just kind of copped that and came up with the name 'Daisy Jane,' sort of like 'daisy chain.' There's not a thing about my song that's like Nick's song, but that's where these bits come from. If you listen to 'Daisy Jane,' it's basically one song played twice--there's the song, there's a little viola break, and there's the song again with a slight lyric change. I blocked out the eight-bar break for George to put something in, and he wrote a nice little piece in there."> I still like the refrain. Brian Wilson could have written it. >Does she really love me I think she does Like the stars above me I know because When the sky is bright Everything's alright> http://www.accessbackstage.com/america/song/song047.htm I didn't know that the guys in America knew about Nick Drake. I wonder if Crazy Janie or Hazy Davy in Springsteen's "Spirit In the Night" were any relation? (Over to you, Rose.) All the best, Jim ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2007 00:01:16 EDT From: RoseMJoy@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni part of Photo Exhibit in Daytona Beach they are the Ladies of the Canyon...

Unless you were there, there is > no way to know who is who. The camera details are automatic - most cameras embed this information in JPEGs these days. The other information is up to individuals to supply at photo upload time, or later. Uploading 100s of pictures in one go can be pretty onerous, before adding individual names and descriptions to each one! Given time, third party comments and descriptions can be filled in retrospectively, so patience is probably the key I'm afraid. Alternatively, get to Jonifest next time to avoid future problems figuring out who's who :) :) :) - --Chris Marshall chrisAThatstand.org (AIM: Chr15Marshall) "If you're ever lost, I'll beat the world to finding you" Stryngs, "Bobblehats and Beer" Band website, with downloads, at http://www.stryngs.com/ ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2007 #149 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
