The only problem I can see is that if you end up with fewer than 30 people, it will really become too expensive, because even for 30 it's not exactly cheap, but I hear you when you say that we'd get a fantastic deal for that money!B Personally I would not mind going a bit more basic in the provisions to cut the cost, I'm fine in a sleeping bag in a tent, but certainly I really appreciate the atmosphere and beauty of the place you've found. Do you think it will be possible to find an alternative venue in the event that you end up with fewer than 30 people and the cost gets too high? In any case, my hand is definitely up, I'm excited at the prospect, and really hope it will work out! All the best, Lieve in London.

There is a political show on every Thursday at 11PM were the host brings in his own cds for the music coming in and out of break. He picks the songs and one of his cds he brought in was a mixed cd. Track 7 was Big Yellow Taxi and he wrote down for track 7 off the mixed to be played! It was a small moment of glory on my part but it was nice to hear a little Joni where I work. Of course, I'm sure all these hosts would strongly disagree with Joni's views (they are all conservative Republicans). However, music breaks all boundaries--political, spiritual, and emotional all the same. - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 10:46:04 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Tell that weird minor chord joke njc I think C, E and A are the first inversion of Am, which I think someone already pointed out, but I've lost track. That's what you get for trying to tell a joke around here, man. It reminds me of the arguments my family used to have around the dinner table when I was in my teens. - --- On Fri, 10/31/08, Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: From: Jim L'Hommedieu Subject: Re: Tell that weird minor chord joke njc To: waytoblue@comcast.net, "Catherine McKay" Cc: joni@smoe.org Received: Friday, October 31, 2008, 12:04 PM Maybe I missed something.

Eliza was here in the summer, at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, but my work schedule there meant I missed out on her performances. While the West End Cultural Centre is undergoing major revamping, we are holding concerts around town. Last night's was held at one of my favourite venues, Crescent Fort Rouge United Church. I'll send a couple of links and you can have a look if you want. I couldnt write up the set list, it doesnt matter at the end of the day. Everything they did was wonderful, moving. Tender and strong all at once. http://www.elizagilkyson.com/ This particular tour entitled Come Ride the Cowboy Train, started out in Vancouver. Today, they will be traveling up to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears and to experience part of the incredible canadian tundra. must have been awesome to have a musical jamm whilst seeing the best of what this land has to offer. expensive, maybe, but worth every dime. having recently traveled across part of canada by train, i highly recommend that mode .. it slows you down to a halt, sometimes literally lol! the train here takes you to the back country where eagles fly and moose tromp gently in search of food. and to me, the people who ride trains are the most kind, gentle , interesting. lots of leg room for those who choose not to do the sleeper thing. you can spend all day up in the dome car, a veritable panorama of what is to come. tell me if you've seen eliza and tom in concert. kate bennett, i thought of you as eliza kept mentioning not just california but santa barbara. due to the timing, there was much talk about politics and the upcoming election. as canadians rarely get into that on stage, i found it very interesting that the topic was part of the in between rhetoric. eliza did a gorgeous cover of joan baez' rose of sharon, i've never heard it performed live, so it was a wonderful treat. i could go on, but anyone who knows her, as well as tom, will know what i'm on about. both eliza and tom were accompanied by strong guitarists, and we were all completely blown away. they sold tonnes of merch, which i'm always happy to see. the images on eliza's new cd looks like they were shot from space. gorgeous. i dont own any of their music, and will look forward to the time when i can. mags, enjoying a gorgeous autumnal day in the peg i exist as i am, that is enough ~walt whitman~ __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I am a big Eliza Gilkyson fan, but haven't had the pleasure of seeing her live. Joan Baez covers Eliza Gilkyson's "Rose of Sharon" (not the other way around). I love the new CD _Beautiful World_.

One of my favorite usicals. James Taylor wrote Millwork and Trucker for the show. They reworked it a few months ago at Asolo and I went to see it. Studs came down from Chicago to Indy to see our version in 1983 and I got to meet him. A great American. He was too ill to come to the Asolo production.
