Welcome to our December newsletter. A few weeks ago, James and Carole King performed 6 concerts at the LA-based, Troubadour, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. The concerts raised money for the National Resources Defense Council, MusicCares, Alliance for the Wild Rockies and The Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. This was a rare reunion for the singer/songwriters. Below, James explains how the reunion came to be and what the concerts meant to each of them. See reviews from the LA Times and Rolling Stone here. Let's start with talking about the Troubadour - tell me a little bit about your history with that club and what it's meant for you in your career? There used to be three good folk clubs in LA - the Ash Grove, the Golden Bear, and the Troubadour. They were folk clubs in the mid 60's. They were jazz clubs before that, and nowadays they are sort of indie rock halls. Clubs like the Troubadour were one of the reasons that it was so easy for me to get started in the beginning, because real folk music enthusiasts kept these places going. They really loved the music and loved the culture. There were places in every city, and in a lot of smaller college towns. Generally speaking they would be in the neighborhood of a 100 people in the room, maybe 200. IMAGE: *( http://client.patrontechnology.com/jt/1207/images/photo1_1207.jpg )* The Troubadour, with 400 people, was sort of a transitional club. After the Troubadour, you're on to concert venues more than clubs. It was sort of a stage for the line between two phases of my career. And the Troubadour was the place where Carole King and I got started. It's also where I picked up a band that Carole and I worked with - Russ Kunkel, Lee Sklar and Danny Kortchmar (originally known as The Section). Actually, Danny and I had been in bands together since the early sixties. So how did the idea of doing this reunion concert come about? Well Carole had a DVD coming out, Welcome to My Living Room and I had One Man Band. I ran into her at the US Open a few months ago where she was performing. Carole said to me--as we always say to one another when we see each other--"When are we going to get together and play again?" Then a couple of people from the Starbucks team suggested doing something in LA, and I saw a press release come through about the Troubadour having its 50th anniversary... IMAGE: *( http://client.patrontechnology.com/jt/1207/images/photo2_1207.jpg )* In my One Man Band show, the introduction to "You've Got a Friend" talks about the Troubadour, this band, and my meeting Carole there... and hearing that tune played on stage for the first time there. So I called Carole and said, "Listen, if we're going to play together, let's play together, let's see what it's like." And it turned out that Russ and Lee and Danny were all available and came to do it. So we just put it together. And Charity Partners arranged the benefit aspect of the run, the six shows. It just exceeded anybody's wildest expectations because we raised $125,000 over the run of the show. How many years had it been since you actually had played together? We played "You've Got a Friend" when I did a MusicCares event last year, and we were on the bill together probably half a dozen times over the years, but that's all we had done since the late 70's when we had toured the world as a sort of co-billed act and shared a band. IMAGE: *( http://client.patrontechnology.com/jt/1207/images/photo3a_1207.jpg )* Having worked together last week after so many years, was there anything that happened, musically, that was unexpected or different than what you had imagined? We just picked up exactly where we left off. Carole and I have a very special connection - partially because I listened to so much of her music growing up - Carole and I have a shared musical vernacular. She has said before that she wrote "You've Got a Friend" after hearing a lot of my music and working with me for a number of months, and that it was very much influenced by me and of course I was influenced by her and artists like her, from "Up On the Roof" to the Everly Brothers songs like "I'll Do My Crying in the Rain", there are dozens of them... songs that are essential to my musical source, that Carole wrote. Given the reaction, are you thinking of doing more with Carole? We will indeed! To share a bill, to be co-billed with another headliner, and to be part of a show that is more than the sum of its parts is an excellent situation and I really look forward to it. We caught up with Carole King and her reaction to the Troubadour concert. Here's what she had to say: As an artist, what was your reaction to performing again with James again, and how has your music changed over the years? Every time I perform with James I'm inspired anew by our combined musical sensibility. It's always as if no time has passed since we last played together. I've been inspired by James's encouragement and example, I now feel confident enough as a performer to have fun with audiences. For example, the restrained presentation of "Natural Woman" on Tapestry has given way to a more joyous, outgoing interpretation. What was the most thrilling part of the concert for you? Are you kidding? All of it! Russ Kunkel, solid as a rock and grand as a lion, playing the style of drumming he invented. Mr. Natural (aka Lee Sklar), bearded now and gray, but otherwise looking the same, and playing better than ever... Danny Kortchmar in his badass guitar stance challenging James and me to play better (Danny always makes us play better!) And after years of performing "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" solo with James's unmistakable tenor always there inside my head, there he was, James Taylor, live, in person, for real, singing: "When the night... meets the morning su-un..." Every audience member applauded James after that. I would have joined them had my hands not been otherwise occupied!

I practiced learning every song on that album, alone in my room, dreaming that someday I, too, would be a leader of a band, or tour, or make records. I never got to meet Dan on the tours with him. He had other people do his soundchecks, and he always arrived right after I had finished my set. He'd come dashing in from the car, go straight to his dressing room (if there was time), and then straight to the stage. Usually it was straight to the stage, where he would sit down at the piano and start to play. Trust me, I wanted to meet Dan. I wanted to say "Thank you" for his encouraging me to become a singer/songwriter, even though he had no idea how he had done so. I wanted to tell him what an honor it was to sing before him night after night, for him to share his listening audience with me, for all the love I felt as I sang along in the audience to every word of every one of his songs. I don't feel bad that we didn't ever meet. There are forces bigger at play here then me meeting a childhood idol. In his heart, surely he must have known that there were thousands of kids like me who grew up to make music because of him? Or, if not, then he certainly knew that his music was loved and revered, and I didn't need to be one more voice reminding him. He seemed to be very private, and I respected that. So, I will say it out loud now, at my computer, for his spirit to hear: Thank you, Dan. Thank you for giving me the gift of a dream, one that is being carried on, now, through my daughter's love of song, too. Songwriters/singers/musicians like you are the storytellers of our lives, and you capture those moments that we wish to reclaim, anytime we choose, simply by putting your music on the stereo... instantly we are transported to those times of laughter or tears. Should old acquaintance be forgot....and never brought to mind... I think not, Dan. You'll never be forgotten.

(njc) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071218/ap_en_ot/film_the_hobbitPeter Jackson to produce `The Hobbit'By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK - Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have reached agreement to makeJ.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," a planned prequel to the blockbuster trilogy "The Lord of the Rings." Jackson, who directed the "Rings" trilogy, will serve as executive producer for "The Hobbit." A director for the prequel films has yet to be named. Relations between Jackson and New Line had soured after "Rings," despite a collective worldwide box office gross of nearly $3 billion  an enormous success. The two sides nevertheless were able to reconcile, with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) splitting "The Hobbit" 50/50, spokemen for both studios said Tuesday. "I'm very pleased that we've been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line," Jackson said in a statement. "We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth." Two "Hobbit" films are scheduled to be shot simultaneously, similar to how the three "Lord of the Rings" films were made. Production is set to begin in 2009 with a released planned for 2010, with the sequel scheduled for a 2011 release. New Line Cinema is owned by Time Warner. Sony and Comcast are among the owners of MGM. (ADDS detail, quotes, background.

Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president  Bush's son, George W.

Jim L. Here are some of the U.S. Statistics for the Year 1907 : The average life expectancy in the U.S. Was 47 years old. Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S Had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California . The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower ! More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. Took place at HOME . Ninety percent of all U.S. Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION! Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which Were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard." Most women only washed their hair once a month , and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from Entering into their country for any reason. Five leading causes of death in the U.S. Were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian o f health." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 02:47:55 +0100 (CET) From: Joseph Palis Subject: myspace, facebook, friendster and the social networking game - NJC I used to have a myspace account myself at the urging of my friends in the station but I since stopped using it and disabled my account. What I was not prepared is that you are opening yourself to a gateway to people in ways that I cannot handle. Friendster is big in the Philippines and I have an account there too but I only visit it very rarely. I might disable that one too. Once when I googled my name, my friendster account info were emblazoned in the search pages, so I might put an end to it too. I did know that privacy issues will someday figure in all these social networking but I underestimated the power of the new media for its ability to encrypt anything for public consumption. Now facebook is the one I use more these days. I discovered it late like the previous two. Most of my friends and those who since left Chapel Hill are all in my network so I get to know what's going on in their lives. In some way it is again akin to spying on people even if I know that the info they put in their profiles came from them and obviously for their network of friends to know. Funny how this new innovations do compress space and time in the way Doreen Massey and David Harvey once theorized in the early 80s when the internet is about to change the way we look at things.

So close that 16 years ago I named my daughter Amelia in an attempt to claim the muse. We had a cat we named after the song (and a women's bar on Central Ave in Albany). That cat lived to be 21 - looked down on everything and crashed many times. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:22:03 -0500 From: "Phyliss Ward" Subject: RE: She DID show up. Hi Friends, Happy Holidays to all! I'm always running behind the times so please excuse me. I just read this article on the Taylor/King concert and the excerpt below. Is there something wrong with this picture? Wasn't Joni already "successful" when she met James and he was just starting to "make it"? .......King - who'd already had a career in the 1960s as one half of a hit writing duo with husband Goffin ("The Locomotion," "Chains," "Up on the Roof") - wound up giving Taylor a song she'd finished but hadn't yet recorded: "You've Got a Friend." He made it a hit and, as he said on Friday, "played it every night for the rest of my life." It established both of them. In their wake came Carly Simon, to whom Taylor was married for a decade, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens and floods of sensitive singer-songwriters..... P.s. If there is anyone on the list with a PhD in Steven Stills, please contact me off list.

You can go to http://www.myspace.com/onemanband1973 to see it. I'm a music artist on there. I find MySpace to be a great way in which to get my music heard by those who would otherwise not. Although I do keep it strictly music related. I never post anything personal or about anything outside of music. I also am on facebook. I'm newer to facebook as I wanted to find a couple of friends from high school via facebook. Well I found them but in order to view their pages, you had to have a facebook account yourself. And then of course one day at work, I pimped out my facebook page when I was a bit bored. My work consists of doing things at certain times and then having a lot of down time at other times (I work at an AM radio station). Both my MySpace and Facebook pages have some Joni content on them... -Monika KEVIN DOHENY wrote: Just curious how many(if any) joniphiles are on myspace?
