The song you linked sounds very Joniesque indeed. It's actually called "Storm Song", and appeared on Laura's 1996 "Hold On To Your Dreams" CD (her only album not out of print). The studio version includes guitar by long-time Joni & CSN confidante Joel Bernstein. [Joni is listed in the "thanks" section, as is Crosby]. Laura formed a short-lived duo with Joel, and also (I'm just learning all this stuff) joined a band called Starcrossed; their CD is available from CDBaby. Joni and Laura were friends. ttp://starcrossedentertainment.com/content/html/story.html I also noticed whilst checking out the US Cafe site that one of the Haight area bands called Jumpin' Jupiter featured a dark-haired 6 string bassist (and vocalist!) named Larry Klein. It's my impression from their drummer's current MySpace page that this is LK one and the same. Pictures of them performing in GG Park here: http://www.nobodyforpresident.org/UnitedStateCafe/uscpage036.html Another Joni/Laura connection is Paul Horn, who played on LOTC; Laura did a new age LP with him called "Reflections" which is very nice and very hard to find, and Joni played an alternative scat-singing version of "Blue" on Horn's "Visions" LP. Small world in the California music scene.

Lori Santa Rosa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:23:43 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: njc, Memorial Services today It's very late when I walk in, but I was just watching the 11 p.m. news and heard something about the memorial service for Tim Russert at St. Canisius High School and thought of Jerry. Jerry, I hope you were able to make it and that you and your classmates found comfort in it, and in each other. Comfort and consultation, I hope that's what you found. http://www.buffalonews.com/258/story/376141.html Are you in any of the pictures there? Coincidentally, I went to a memorial service today, too. It was for Professor Paul H. Meyer, who was the director of my study abroad group (Rouen, France) in 1974-1975 (when my only audio companion was MOA!), and then from 1990 on, my colleague and dear friend. It was a beautiful celebration of what he had called an "easy life", but none of us thought it was easy. He was a Jew in Hitler's Germany. Here is a snippet from his obit: "Paul was born in Berlin, Germany on December 5, 1920. With his family, he fled the Nazis in 1938 to England, where they resettled in the outskirts of London. When World War II broke out he was deported to Canada as a German national, and interned. In the internment camp he taught Latin as part of an organized effort by older adolescents to prepare younger internees for college entrance exams." http://www.funeralquestions.com/obits/carmon/memorial.asp?listing_id=109772 For Professor Meyer, life was for learning. I wasn't going to share any of this, but hearing about the service at St. Canisius made me want to write. Love sucks me back this way. In the middle of the reflections/tributes, his niece (from Toronto, Catherine!) got up w/ a guitar. She said she had a difficult time picking a song, and then went on to play Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn" which, of course, was perfect. In the printed program was a beautiful quote that, when I read it, thought: "I have to share this with my Joni friends!" so I will do so now, hoping it brings some comfort to any one who has lost a dear one. That's every one of us, of course. Let the beginning and the end Draw together into one. While the world of objects Flies faster beyond you. Thanks to the Muses' favor Immortality is promised For the content of your heart And the essence of your spirit. (Excerpt from "Dauer" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, translated by Prof. Meyer's daughter) Shine on the dazzling darkness, that restores us in deep sleep. Love & Peace, Patti P., chicken scratching for the immortality of hearts and spirits _________________________________________________________________ The im Talkathon starts 6/24/08.
