[Patti Parlette Subject: JMDL njc I just subscribed to the list with individual emails for the first time ever. I imagine gmail will be good at helping me stay on top of things this way. I was just thinking to myself that later this year will mark nine years on the list for me (i think). I joined when i was 18 i think - probably some time around my 19th birthday if i have it right. On occasion i had to un-sub for various reasons, but going on nine years since i first joined and Jody sent me a cd of live Joni (the first time i had heard a SIQUOMB live performance) and Ashara sent me some videos.

Have you seen it? Got a standing ovation this afternoon."

Let me add my voice to the upstairs choir. Ausgezeichnet! Herzlichen Gluckwunsch, Lori and Mary! (I remember you lived in Deutschland.) (Hi Moni!) And I hope Richard and Rebecca had/have a wonderful ceremony of the bells and lace, too. Play that warm chord, play it and stay together, babies, keepin' it tied and true. Love and best wishes, Patti P. NPIMH (but I have to change the words to make it work for the new millenium and our two new couples): Girl/Boy, I heard you're getting married Heard you're getting married, this time you're really sure And this is the end, they say you really mean it This guy's/girl's the one that makes you feel so safe, so sane and so secure And, baby, if s/he loves you more than me Maybe it's the best thing Maybe it's the best thing for you But it's the worst that could happen to me I'll never get married Never get married, you know that's not my scene But a girl/boy like you needs to be married I've known all along you couldn't live forever in between And, baby, if s/he loves you more than me Maybe it's the best thing Maybe it's the best thing for you But it's the worst that could happen to me Ha ha....1969. Either I'm going to have to stand and fight with Muller, or take off outta here! ; ) Beep beep em beep beep, yeah! _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?

That's lovely. Rainbow Connection has been in my head the past few days and now I can replace it with this (ha...and the rest of the songs inside and outside my head).

(Isn't there a song called A Message for Maria? I can't find it now, in an ooby shooby hurry, but don't the lyrics say something like "I'm going to start a new life"? 1960s, I think.) (Get off my case, Muller! LOL...) Rian, I know how scary it is (I'd have trembling in my bones myself), but take a deep breath and hold your head up. My wise old dept. head once told me: "You don't go to a new job to GET prestige. You go to BRING prestige." So put that in your peace pipe and smoke it. This won't be your last chance lost. It's a new beginning. Who knows what lovely landscapes -- and people -- you might discover. Be open, but careful and safe (both sides now), and by all means, bring Joni with you. Hejira! Listen Baby... Ain't no mountain high Ain't no valley low Ain't no river wide enough baby If you need me call me no matter where you are no matter how far (don't worry baby) just call my name I'll be there in a hurry you don't have to worry chorus: 'Cause baby there Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you babe Remember the day I set you free I told you you could always count on me darling From that day on I made a vow I'll be there when you want me some way somehow Chorus No wind, No rain Or winter's cold Can't stop me baby 'cause you are my beau (if you're ever in trouble I'll be there on the double just send for me) ooo baby My love is alive Way down in my heart Although we are miles apart If you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can Don't you know that there aint no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, aint no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you babe Don't you know that there aint no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough aint no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you babe Bonne chance and hold your head up! (Mon Dieu, that's ANOTHER song, isn't it?) Love, Patti P., now post drunk after three, and needing to get ready for the peace vigil at 5. http://iraqmoratorium.org./ Make sure to honk for peace if you drive by one! "All we are saying...." : Well, another life phase. Next week I'll be staying somewhere else. Yes. I move from my hometown. I've been repositioned to Tax Office in Bekasi. It's like moving from a small peaceful town (say : Greensville, SC) to big polluted industrial-commercial city like Detroit. Bekasi is near Jakarta. On eastern border of the capital city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekasi So, starting from next week, I'll be living in a strange place where nobody knows me. It's so scary for me. So so scary. To be honest... I don't know how to handle this. I'm a type of person who is afraid of strange places. So, probably this is the last post from me... for now. I'll be joining you again as soon as I can handle my new life there. I know I'll miss you all.

Notre Dame! Ooh la la! Sacre BLEU et > un peu de VERT! (In a good way.) And your review was > formidable (French meaning and pronunciation). It's actually jc now, but what the 'ell. We did SEE her, but she was tiny, tiny on stage. It could have been someone else pretending to be her, for all I know. And yet, I know it was her. There's no mistaking that now white-blonde hair and the style of dress. And you could tell she looked very happy (by the body language, of course). And she seemed to be looking out for the little girl ballerina, whose hand she was holding as they all took their bows, which was very kind of her. __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam.

(Get off my case, Muller! LOL...) You're thinking of, "Take a letter, Maria. Address it to my wife. Say I won't be coming home. Gonna start a new life." Thanks a lot, Patti! Then I had to look it up to see who sang it. I thought it might have been the guy who sang "Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree" (another ear worm for ya), but it was some guy named R.B. Greaves. Or you may be thinking of "Send a message to Michael" by B Bacharach, sung by D Warwick.

Catherine already pointed you in the right direction with "Take A Letter, Maria", that's kind of a strange song lyrically like Freda Payne's "Band Of Gold"...more there than meets the ear. I was thinking that B.W. Stevenson had the hit with that one, but I was getting it confused with "My Maria", which like the other Maria song and the one from West side Story and even Ave Maria, it appears that songs with "Maria" in them don't suck. Any Maria's out there on the JMDL? Come forward and take a bow. And FWIW (and please don't break into that one although I know you can't help it) I've been enjoying a CD this week that makes me think of YOU because of the CSN/Beach Boys harmonies combined with acoustic instruments and a good hippie vibe - the Fleet Foxes. Check it out PP, and you can party like it's 2008. Bob NP: Cat Pwer, "Blue" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:58:53 -0700 From: "Randy Remote" Subject: Laura Allan RIP sjc I was saddened to learn that musician Laura Allan has passed away from cancer. She was kind of the Joni Mitchell of Marin County, and I have fond memories of her playing dulcimer and singing in the open-air amphitheatre on Mt. Tamalpais. She played zither on David Crosby's "Traction In The Rain" on his 1st solo album, and wrote songs for Kenny Rogers and Bill Champlin ("Hold On"). She also built dulcimers and zithers, traveling to the Big Sur Folk Festival with her friend Joellen Lapidus who there sold Joni her first dulcimer.

Now you be polite! I just get home from a peace vigil and you think I'm not going to sing THAT? Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away You can't take me away! You are not the boss of me! (LOL...) But thanks for this: "I've been enjoying a CD this week that makes me think of YOU because of the CSN/Beach Boys harmonies combined with acoustic instruments and a good hippie vibe - the Fleet Foxes. Check it out PP, and you can party like it's 2008." Okay, I'm pickin' up good vibrations. You're giving me excitations. And tonight I *am* gonna party like it's 2008 Summer Solstice. But that's another post. I'm telling you to hold on. Hold on. Love, PP _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?

Yes! I'm excited because my old friend Alain (now teaching in San Diego) is in town and we are going out to dinner. He's the one who met and had dinner w/ a nice couple in Vancouver and, after dinner, they put on (much to his surprise) JONI MITCHELL! Later he told me was grateful for all my previous Jonievangelizing because otherwise he wouldn't have know her. But here's the best part: they told him that they KNOW Joni and see her sometimes. I think they may help w/ her property, I'm not sure, but I will get all the details ce soir, that's a promise that I made! I'll bring a piece of paper (from the city hall) to write everything down. And he told me on the phone that someday he will see Joni and he will get her to sign something for me. "I believe him when he tells of" doing this for me. When he called to say where we are going, he said it's a very fancy place, and in his lilting French cadence, said the owner said that to get us in on a busy night, his companion "must wear something that identifies her as a peacenik and a Joni fan." (Oh, the rogue, the red red rogue...) No problemo, amigo! Well, a little problem. I left my Joni pins at the work place so I'll have to run up there before dinner. But at least he got us in like (Richard) Flynn. I've been dying to go to this place. The owners got themselves back to the garden and everything is supposed to be organic and fresh. The NYT gave it a rave review. Going cafe to cabaret.....Come, I'll take you there: http://www.stillrivercafe.com/ Ha! I found myself a river! Finally! Check out the menu if you have time on your hands.....I'm in the mood for lobster pots! Lobster! Talk about a sweeter fare! And it's French. Maybe we can order Freedom Fried or Freedom Onion Soup. It looks fancy; they'll get me used to that clean white linen tablecloth, and now I've got to put on some fancy French cologne. Magie Noire is my favorite, and it's perfect, because he's back east to meet w/ a publisher about his new book about MAGIC. Okay, so I'm all excited and went digging in my closet and found a blousy thing I've never worn before....and it's got (along comes a lady in) lacy sleeves. All right! Then I found a kick pleat skirt (actually, flouncy) with little black diamond earrings on it that sparkle so I'm all set. I'm putting on my finest silver and we're out the door. Ready to shine. And we will laugh and toast to the JMDL newlyweds, yesiree Bobs! Clink, clink! Tonight, tonight, Won't be just any night, Tonight there will be no morning star. Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight. And for us, stars will stop where they are. Today The minutes seem like hours, The hours go so slowly, And still the sky is light . . . Oh moon, grow bright, And make this endless day endless night! (You were just talking about Maria songs, n'est-ce pas?) It's a marvelous night for a moon dance. Bon soir, mes Joniami(e)s! Let all your little lights shine. xo, PP, feeling unfettered and alive P.S. Deb and other Joni Facebookers....check my profile and you'll see the message I sent to that very good friend of mine....full of Joni quote and the Free Man in Paris youtube.
