You make my heart sing! (Oh, Canada...) Something about petitions: I'm always signing them, and sometimes "I wonder what I do it for", but a few months ago I saw the real power of them. I volunteered to deliver a moveon.org "No War on Iran" (don't put it past them!) petition to my Congressperson's office. I got special access to print it out and felt like I had the "power to the people" in my hands. It was wonderful to see so many names from my district. Names I didn't even know were "hooray for our side": a bunch of deans & profs and vice-this-and-thats from UConn, old friends, neighbors, etc. It was way cool! The best part was reading all the comments. People were pissed and they weren't afraid to say it. The comments added a lot of passion and zip to it all. (I just wish all these people would speak out more often. "It gets so lonely, when you're walking, and the streets are full of strangers...") (npimh: "Come ON people, smile on your brother, everybody get together....") But I have got a thing that's unique and new To prove it I"ll have the last laugh on you 'Cause instead of one petition, I got two! 1. Stop Bush's War: http://act.credomobile.com/campaign/cut_war_funding/i3eg8g52v7n6tjm6? 2. the Great Plan: http://act.truemajorityaction.org/p/7002/planiraqpetition?petition_KEY=50 Come on now You've got to try If you're feeling contempt Well then you tell it If you're tired of the silent night Jesus well then you yell it Condemned to pens and papers Sign every petition that you feel! Love, Patti P, out of the fire like Catholic saints today P.S. Mmmmmmm....thanks for the brownie, David. Delicioso! Grazie! But it needs something.....milk! Got milk? And toast and honey, and a bowl of oranges, too? (Ha! Give her a Joni-inch, and she'll take a mile of aisles!) P.P.S. Mark of Seattle, you're going to have a ball at your reunion. I heard this song on the way into Morning UConntown today and thought of you: Been away so long I hardly knew the place Gee, it's good to be back home Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case Honey disconnect the phone I'm back in the U of Northern Iowa You don't know how lucky you are, boy Back in the U Back in the U Back in the U of Northern Iowa Oh, let me tell you honey: I dedicated the song to you! _________________________________________________________________ Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/connect_your_way.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_video_042008 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 16:19:34 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: njc, Got MLK? Having just asked David: "Got milk?" reminded me of a great Jon Stewart clip from the other night: "Got MLK?" An "assassitunity", as he called it. The three presidential candidates speak about MLK, Jr. Too funneee, Jon!

I read that Pat Buchanan said that McCain is even more hawkish (here come those hawks again!) than Cheney, and that if McCain wins, he will make Cheney look like Gandhi. Holy merde! P.P.S. I also heard that bookbags did not exist in 1968. Hmmm. I seem to recall using some kind of rubber stretchy things to keep my books together.

TIC! ...but I in my leather and lace..... TIC! ...the thumb and the satchel or the rented Rolls-Royce... Oh, nice satchel story, Cassy! I usually carry some sort of tote or bag (to hold books, anti-war flyers, whatever). Lately I've taken to calling it my "satchel" and someone laughed at me the other day for using an "archaic" word. Hey! Shut up! I like "satchel!" ; ) Speaking of satchels and bookbags and such, I was recently cleaning out closets and found the bag I used as my "lamaze bag" in 1978. Ah, my lamaze bag! (npimh: Judy Collins singing "who knows where the time goes...."). It is a cloth bag that says "Paris Bistro" on it. Tres French. Then, in a cleaning/decluttering frenzy, I looked at the big stack of sympathy cards on the table and decided I should stash them away, so I put them in this bag. Later on I looked at the bag and it struck me, electric flash, just like lightening striking from above, that this bag is no longer the lamaze bag. It's now "Death and Birth and Death and Birth." : ( Wow. And the seasons, they go round and round, don't they? The lamaze baby will be 30 in August. (All of the hope and the hopelessness, I've witnessed thirty years! 99.9% hope, though.) xo, pp P.S. Uh oh! This is my third post in one day. That's trouble. When I get this crazy feeling I know I'm in trouble again. Three posts is over my limit. Like having three drinks. I'm Joni-punch drunk! Everything I see or hear now has something of Joni in it (well, that's true all the time, but I usually manage to keep it in). Acute JMOCD alert! Danger! Danger!

And they just put out the followup last week...haven't heard it yet but it's on the way. I wanted to buy it at the Earshot but it was one of the new releases NOT on sale and as much as I wanted it I couldn't bring myself to pay $16.99 + tax for it. However, I was able to get the new Sun Kil Moon (Mark Kozelek's post-Red House Painters band) and it is SO good it sends chills up my spine. I would encourage any Neil Young fans to check it out. And for those about to rock, the new REM and Raconteurs are also WAY good. I wish the Wood Brothers would record their cover of "Black Crow". My life is unfulfilled until they do.

What sychronicity!!!!! I'm still trying to track down a televisin performanace with Joni and her friend Dino for a documentary on Dino's life. This recording sounds great. Can anyone help me get a copy of it? The dogs ate my internet connection, broke my laptop screen and then ate throught the power cord....Work computers don't let me do ANYTHING!!!!

It had a handle to carry it and a shoulder strap as well. I'm pretty sure we called those things "book bags." I know that my sibs and I all had one of those. As we got older, we stopped using them because they were just not cool. We would carry our books loose in high school and miraculously never lose one. Later, in university, I used an army messenger bag sort of thing that had been my Dad's from when he was in the army. I find it very bizarre that someone should say that "book bags" didn't exist back then, as if they were some kind of miracle modern-age invention.

I did two parts (1) the lead line (solo/fills) and (2) the support line. The more I listen to the recording it seems that there is a third, very sparse line that weaves in and out.. Do you have any info on this? Do you know anyone that might have info? I know that Jaco Pastorius was known for overdubbing and weaving parts in and out.
