My best friend's partner of 17 years just passed away and we had a memorial for him on Saturday. I put together a DVD and there were several pictures of him and Melanie in it. We were so fortunate to get to know her and see her perform when she lived in Clearwater. She is still one of the best live performers around. She always gives her audience and fans 100% and has quite a devoted cult following around the world. And even now still has that innocent beauty about her.

It sounds like you had a great time. I have to agree with you on your comment below. I, too, appreciate it being about the music rather than the gimmicks. It is refreshing that they just get up there and play, almost like anyone of them would if they were a friend of yours at your house who just happens to pick up a guitar. Now don't get me wrong, I've seen bands where they not only put on a show but put out an experience (Roger Waters actually) but I've never been a fan of where the "gimmicks" get in the way of the music (for example I am so not a Kiss fan not just because of their stunts but all because I can't stand their music). And of course, I very much appreciate Graham Nash's sincerity. When I saw CSNY and CN, he was always clapping for the audience and looked so grateful to be up there. - -Mon - --- On Mon, 8/4/08, Victor Johnson wrote: I love the way CSN just walks on stage with no flashing lights or fanfare and just start playing. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 06:07:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Rockin' out with Conversation... Recently, I decided to learn Conversation on guitar as it has some of the catchiest music I have ever heard in my life! I'm getting it and it is really quite fun to play. Now of course the singing is another story.....there is no way in hell that I would be able to hit all those notes Joni does. Whenever I want to learn a song on guitar by Joni's, I always end up picking the ones that are hardest for me to sing personally coincidentally...... - -Monika, who is working on listening to best of Leonard Cohen but does like a few songs off the bat NP: Suzanne-Leonard Cohen ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 08:37:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Laura Stanley Subject: Accent game, njc Catherine wrote: I also only got 21.

This probably won't cheer you up, but those bombs were fire-crackers compared to what we've got now. Typical warheads in America's arsenal today are many hundreds of times as powerful. I will also note that the so-called bunker-busters or "baby" nukes that the Pentagon has been developing, intended for so-called "surgical" strikes (sounds so neat and tidy, eh?) actually have about the same power as the bombs we used on Japan. They're only "baby" by todays standards. I certainly hope Seymour Hersh (the same journalist who broke the My Lai story 40 years ago) is just a paranoid crackpot and we're not really planning on using those bunker-busters on Iran's alleged nuclear facilities (many of which are in or near population centers) as he claims. Because if we do, we're all going to hell (at least us Americans). Also, since those will be ground detonations, as opposed to the Japanese bombs which were detonated about half a km in the air, radioactive fallout will be a much more serious problem and will affect the whole region, Afganistan, Pakistan, even India, not just Iran. The death toll would surely be in the millions. I'm sure President Cheney (y'all don't really think that idiot Bush is really running things do ya?) is itching to put America's nuclear arsenal to good use after all these years of "neglect". Our country is ruled by psychotic sociopaths. I see no difference between them and that sicko on the bus. Only instead of a knife they're using the biggest military force the world has ever seen.

UK FEST starts two weeks yesterday and I am trying to find Paul Headon. I have mailed the e-mail I have for him which is a BTinternet mail address but have had no replies. Is anyone on here in touch with him? Paul if you are reading this can you let me know if you are coming? I know I have not been active on here for some time but the plans for FEST are going well and we have 24 people coming from all over the world and it looks like it will be a good one. Whilst not a big gathering it is going to be a fun one and I hope that the reports that will come back to here from those who attend will be positive. What we need more than anything else is for the British weather to do its stuff and haul out a few bright days of sunshine and fair weather so that we can make use of the wonderful grounds at Holycombe and enjoy it all. Even if it rains we will all have laughter and song and that is what fest is about - oh and wine! the attendees list runs as follows Me and John Woodley Chris Marshall Geoff Hankins Les Ross Garrett McDermott Adriano and Licia Lucatello Laurent Olzser Oddmund Kaarevik Bene from Denmark Henning Olsen Christina Friis Nielsen Mike Pritchard Bob Muller Donna Binkley Patrick Leader Anita and Steph Dave and Robin Blackburn Barry Cahill and Delen St Clair Lieve Reckers I am so looking forward to seeing everyone that I have already met again, and meeting those whom I have not. As always Fest is about being there and making it happen, about new friendships made, and older ones re-inforced. If there are any late "want to comes" I have a maximum of 6 spaces, but you will have to bring your own tent and it will cost #225 for the 4 nights including food - breakfast and evening meals, wine with evening meals, tea and coffee, fruit juice etc., Let me know if this is so. the event is being held at www.holycombe.com in Whichford, neare Shipston on Stour in Warwickshire. A more quintessentially British location it would be hard to find! Anyone who would like to come get in touch with me off list. Anyway, Paul HEadon if you are out there and wondering why you have not heard from me, its not through lack of trying. Love and good things to you all Lucy ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2008 #159 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
