Thx to the 2 of them I found out about the TV taping for EC's Spectacle show Wed nite at the Apollo. I emailed the addy MP gave, but no response. Cassy urged me to go anyway in case of no-show ticket availability. It worked! I was a little late, lines snaking down 125 St, but with all the nerve in the world I went up to the box office and explained the situation and asked if it might be worth my while to wait until all ticket holders were in. She proceeded to hand me a ticket!!!! I go in and it is center section main floor, 2nd row, 2nd from aisle! Good lord! The event went from 7:30 to after 10:45 (when I had to leave). A vibrant, long, illuminating, intense discussion of jazz in general, and HH's musical biography in specific, over 2 hours! What an education!! As the show is scheduled to be 1 hour long it will most certainly be edited - more the pity as it was engaging, fascinating. Herbie played a couple of little riffs, and full extended versions of "Chan's Song" and "Watermelon Man". Both ably accompanied by 2 sidemen. What a wonderful evening! The show tapes at 7 next Monday (Kristofferson, Mellencamp, Norah Jones) and 2pm Tues (James Taylor). Those of you in NYC should go! Series broadcast is scheduled for Dec (or Jan) on Sundance Channel in USA, CTV in Canada, and in UK & Europe. Watch for it!!!!

There's a bit o' Joni content in it. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE WORLD IN SIX SONGS: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature Posted on August 22nd, 2008 in News, Upcoming Events, Reading Series. Tuesday, September 16, 2008 @ 4-6pm Walter Hall 80 Queenbs Park (Edward Johnson Building, basement) Free Presented in partnership with the University of Toronto Faculty of Music. A lecture with performances by voice pedagogy majors at the University of Toronto. From the author of This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession, Daniel Levitinbs new book showcases his daring theory of bsix songs,b illuminating how the brain evolved to play and listen to music in six fundamental formsb for knowledge, friendship, ceremony, joy, comfort, and love. Levitin shows how music and dance enabled the social bonding and friendship necessary for human culture and society to evolve. Blending cutting-edge scientific findings with his own sometimes hilarious experiences as a musician and music-industry professional, Levitinbs sweeping study also incorporates wisdom gleaned from interviews with icons ranging from Sting and Paul Simon to Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson, and David Byrne. The result is a brilliant revelation of the prehistoric yet elegant systems at play when we sing and dance at a wedding or cheer at a concertbor tune out quietly with an iPod. Daniel J. Levitin runs the Levitin Laboratory for Musical Perception, Cognition, and Expertise at McGill University, where he holds the Bell Chair in the Psychology of Electronic Communications. Before becoming a neuroscientist, he was a record producer with gold records to his credit and professional musician. He has published extensively in scientific journals and music trade magazines such as Grammy and Billboard. Special thanks to the Faculty of Music and Penguin Group Canada.

And the Chinese one you sent to use recently almost ruined my day!

I hope you all enjoyed Joni Live At The Sydney Opera House. Here is another gem. This was requested by Barry in Jerusalem. This is Joni Live At Carnegie Hall from 1972. It's really a fabulous concert. Joni was on a real high (not literally). She is in such a great mood and talks to the audience a lot. The audience, in return, is very well behaved and respectful. Like they really wanted to be there. Joni was previewing her new album, For The Roses and performs a lot of the songs from that album. I love this version of Electricity. She even explains the title, For The Roses. Thanks to all the generous people who have shared their Joni collections with me in the past. Now I'm sharing with the rest of this special community. It is a single CD but I had to split it in two. Here is Part 1: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/ 604813888/53ac354d0e3306d3e8e9bca8e3123524 and here is Part 2 which includes some artwork that I designed: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/604838542/e33b224dd59ab6cf8a520b39c8e0103c Enjoy.

The visuals and the audio weren't in sink (it's probably my ancient computer's fault), so I just minimized the screen and listened after a while. He definitely comes across as open and honest and no BS about him. His body language is also very open. I hope he maintains that. We've got an election coming in Canada as well in October (ours happen a lot faster than yours!) and I'm afraid Harper may get a majority this time. They're doing as much as they can to make him look like a human and not an amorphous alien from another dimension. - --- On Thu, 9/11/08, Marianne Rizzo wrote: > From: Marianne Rizzo > Subject: Obama shines on Late Night with Letterman tonight, njc > To: "joni list" , "patti parlette" > Received: Thursday, September 11, 2008, 9:32 AM > He is a smart man > Very articulate > > Thanks > > > > > > > From: Patti Parlette Shine on > his good humor.

Harrison commented: "'Octopus's Garden' is Ringo's song. It's only the second song Ringo has ever written, mind you, and it's lovely." Ringo's first solo composition had been "Don't Pass Me By" on The Beatles album. He added that the song gets very deep into your consciousness "because it's so peaceful. I suppose Ringo is writing cosmic songs these days without even realizing it." (-- Wikipedia) Don't tase me, bro Richard! ; ) xo!

Warning: Political Content As Joni asked: So who will come to save the day? Mighty Mouse? Superman? Or maybe: G.I. John? Superwoman? I got that notion here: Do You Think I'm Stupid? September 7, 2008 | 03:23 PM (EST) Jamie Lee Curtis Mr. Obama said it.... "They must think you are stupid." Stupid to believe that McCain/Palin are "change agents." Change is becoming this campaigns' ping pong ball and we are missing the point. Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Be it. Don't talk about it, don't pontificate about it. Be It. Action word. Demonstrative. Maybe Nike just drafted off that great statesman and made us all "Just do it." Whatever, the call to action is now. Be it. Jung said "Only that which changes, remains true." Truth -- unvarnished, well-vetted and precise. My favorite quote is from The Princess Bride by William Goldman. In it, a street savvy young man hardened by the realities of the world, tells the princess..." Life is pain and anyone who tells you different is selling something." Life is pain, hard, unfair and yet also achingly beautiful and transformative when we are walking toward truth. When the Republicans had their convention and there were signs held high with the monikers...."G.I. John and Superwoman" I knew we were in trouble. They were selling a fantasy! See, we are not stupid, we are humans, we can think and listen and learn. But if what we are taught is corrupt lies and if we are fed the "family truth" then we are not stupid, we are brainwashed. G.I. John and Superwoman take them away from being mortal humans and put them in to the comic book hero status, Teflon coated, impenetrable and as we are seeing today, in the case of Mrs. Palin, not even held accountable in an interview. We are not stupid, but we are gullible, to fear, lies, misinformation and calculated deceit and that is what we are now up against and where we need to demonstrate the real change. **** _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life togetherat home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:52:02 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: BSN paradox So the real *Paradox* is that now I have enabled you to listen to a song that you don't want to hear!

I think it works something like this... In Canada, at least up until now, after an election, a Parliament could go up to five years before an election was required. Generally, somewhere between the third year and the fifth, the Prime Minister of the day asks the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and to call an election. In Harper's case, he had a minority gov't, which he got at the last election in 2006. When there's a minority government, the opposing parties can seek a vote of non-confidence on any legislation a minority government tries to put through. However, the previous Liberal government had also had a minority government when they were last elected in 2004. It was felt that it would be a bad move to hold a vote of non-confidence to force another election so soon after the last election, so the various parties were tiptoeing around one another about this. It would have pissed voters off too much to go through several elections within a matter of a couple of years or so. Harper is actually more popular now than he ever has, so, strategically, calling an election now could mean he could gain a majority gov't this time and therefore be able to put through legislation he wasn't able to in this parliament. However, Harper had set a fixed election date of October 2009 so he has broken his own promise (quelle surprise!) Politics here is weird in its own way. We've got more parties than you do in the U.S. (Liberals, Conservatives, New Democratic Party, Bloc Quebecois and Green - that's not counting various Marxist/Leninist/Communist parties and so on.) There tend to be fairly strong regional divisions as to who votes for which party. The Bloc Quebecois exists only in Quebec (as I'm sure you could guess) but it is very strong there, with the Liberals also being pretty popular, especially among English-speaking Quebeckers. The Conservatives have little sway there except among the very rich. The west (except for maybe BC) tend to go Conservative, Ontario leans to Liberal but sometimes goes Tory (or Toronto may stay Liberal with some NDP when the rest of Ontario goes mainly Tory), the Maritimes are a bit of Liberal, Tory and sometimes NDP. Women are more likely to be Liberal, whereas men are more likely to be Tory. Tradutionally new immigrants tended to favour the Liberals, but this had a lot to do with the Liberals being the ones to open the doors to more immigration and I think that is changing. The Liberals are kind of like the Democrats and the Conservatives (Tories) are kind of like Republicans, but then again, not really. The current Conservative crowd is, IMO, more like Republicans than they used to be. The NDP is more socialist than the Liberals and is popular with unions. The Bloc Quebec is...the Bloc Quebecois and the Greens are... the Greens. I'm sure you're now more confused than ever, and I may have it all wrong anyway. __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Then again there is arbutus, or banyan. Pinewood is too soft. But I think I'd like wood for the floors. If I put my tongs/forceps on the counter, it must be stone! Another nice floor idea is the adobe-colored tiles in the Travelogue insert in what Marianne and I think must be Joni's kitchen. Speaking of Norwegian, I"ve been meaning to send something to you and Oddmund and Bene and our other Scandinavian brothers and sisters. Was much made about Cindy Sheehan receiving that peace award in Norway? I heard NOTHING about it here in the States. Nada. Do you all know Eric Bye? If there is any on-line news you could send me, I'd appreciate it. Warning: Political content Sorry for all the space...I don't know where to cut it off so here's the whole thing. ***** SUBJECT: Vote for a Peace Mom, Not a Hockey Mom Today, Cindy received a very prestigious award in Norway: The Eric Bye Memorial Award for a person who has dedicated his/her life to positive change and standing up to the establishment. A very appropriate award for Cindy! Erik Bye is an icon in Norway. He was a journalist, poet, filmmaker, singer and songwriter. Eric was very adamantly against the invasion of Iraq. He passed away in 2004 and before his wife, Tove, ( a political activist in her own right) passed away last year, she said her fondest wish was that Cindy receive the award. The award has been given since 2004 and Cindy was the first non-Norwegian to receive it. Anne Bye presented Cindy with the award and said that everyday her mother would ask her: "What is Cindy doing today?" The photo is Cindy with Anne Bye and her daughter (Erik's granddaughter who sang his most famous song at the ceremony), Marianne. Dagmar Karin Soboe , a past vice president of Womens International League of Peace and Freedom, said in her speech that she would rather "Vote for a Peace Mom, than a hockey mom." Cindy has had the privilege of traveling around the world since her son, Casey, was killed in Iraq and she understands better than many people that true international peace will only be attained when the citizens of each country make a concerted effort to understand each other; their different cultures; their different religious practices, etc, but also, more importantly, the things that we have in common. Every person in this world wants the same things for themselves and their families: security, relative prosperity, and an environment that is sustainable and clean. The jingoistic mantra of "My country is the greatest country on earth" can only be understood from the perspective of someone who has visitied enough countries to compare and contrast. Norway is by no means a perfect nation, but every citizen has the right to free quality national health care and free quality education. These things are just an example of two of the improvements that Cindy wants to make for San Francisco and the nation. In San Francisco, we have the opportunity to "Vote for the Peace Mom," and show the international community that we understand the challenges facing our planet today. A vote for Cindy is a vote for peace. A vote for Cindy is a vote for the people. A vote for Cindy is a vote for our planet. A vote for Nancy is a vote for continued war. A vote for Nancy is a vote for the wealthy establishment. A vote for Nancy is a vote for offshore drilling and continued dependence on fossil fuels *** Love & Peace, PP for VP -- a hockey mom AND a peace mom! A thing that's unique and new! _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.
