If one got the pass there were promises of more material to come down the road. I'm such a big fan I decided to risk it and go for the pass. If you buy the CD from i-Tunes there are 13 items which download. Fair enough, it's a full of great music and for $9.99 it's a good deal. I paid 19.99 for the i-Tunes pass; I downloaded the album immediately. Over the last few weeks I've been notified several times that there were more downloads available to pass holders and I now have a total of 24 files for this release, including several awesome videos. Overall I've been really happy I popped for the pass. Warmly, Cassy NP: DMB - Write A Song (released just today for pass-holders) Some days are easy, like licking icing off a spoon. Today was more like stapling Jell-O to a brick. ~ Chris Manlyman ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:27:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Mags Subject: Re: The things Joni inspires us to do That's beautiful...wow..thanks for sending this one along.

As usual, their live harmonies were a little (!) wayward, but after a surfeit of Lady Gaga, and the like, it was so refreshing to hear the massive audience completely silenced by Cros singing 'Guinnevere'. Found this - BBC4's Glastonbury coverage of 'Long Time Gone' on YouTube - [worth clicking the HQ and Full Screen buttons and turning the sound up to 11 for full Glastonbury effect] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2-5JBZV_3c best to all PaulC PS Still trying to decide what to make of Neil Young's Friday night set which ended with Neil breaking all six strings on his guitar and gently whipping it with a guitar stand (!?) before playing a few notes on the vibraphone and walking off. PPS Just found this wonderful 1983 live footage of CS&N singing McCartney's 'Blackbird' (in tune!!) - really fab!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSxkhZsHdkY ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:28:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: NJC - For Guitar Players & Music Lovers - --- On Mon, 6/29/09, Cassy wrote: > This looks like it's going to be an > awesome film: > > http://www.sonyclassics.com/itmightgetloud/ > > Synopsis: > > > Who hasn't wanted to be a rock star, join a band or play > electric guitar?

It looks like it won't be here until September, at the Toronto Film Festival. Which means it could be in theatres anywhere from the next day to a LONG time after. I will be watching for it definitely. Thanks also for your story the other day about being "with the band" AND for the sample of your brother's band's music. Not that I know much about drumming, but, to these ears, your brother is a mighty fine drummer. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:45:32 -0700 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: Re: The things Joni inspires us to do thanks, Dave Blackburn Beat 'n Track Recording beatntrack@sbcglobal.net http://www.beatntrack.net God is that the most perfect music or what!

Here's the info on the release: "As we all know by now, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, but it also marks the 40th anniversary of a unique and colorful TV special that, in its own small way, captured the spirit of the Festival and, indeed, of the decade as well as anything that ever aired on network television. 'The Mama Cass Television Program' was a pilot for a regular variety series that aired once and once only in 1969, and, after viewing it, one suspects that the vibe on the show was just a little bit too flower power for the network execs to pick it up as a regular series. John Sebastian, Joni Mitchell and Mary Travers all join Mama Cass for a singalong that's a little slice of '60s music utopia (and we sure could use a little bit of that in these hard-bitten days); includes rare solo vocal performances by Cass of the Mamas and Papas hits 'California Dreamin'' and 'Monday, Monday', plus further solo turns on 'Dream a Little Dream of Me; River of Life; I Can Dream, Can't I?', and 'Dancing in the Street'; 'Both Sides Now' Joni Mitchell; 'And When I Die' Mary Travers 'I Shall Be Released' Cass, Joni & Mary; 'She's a Lady' John Sebastian, and 'Darlin' Companion' Cass & John." Both July 14th and August 25th have been mentioned as release dates, not sure which is correct. More info at JoniMitchell.com: http://jonimitchell.com/library/viewmedia.cfm?id=78 Thanks, simon, for the tip.

WARNING: Long and personal and deep, not superficial ("Don't say I didn't warn ya!") I'm all emotions and abstractions today, both sides now, laughing and crying. It's my son's wedding anniversary, and love sucks me back that way, to Smurf. He called me when I arrived in Kansas City, sang part of the song, and asked: "Where are you now?" And, just as natural as the weather in this moody sky today, I replied: "In some hotel room, and guess what?!" He said: "It has a view?" And so on.... We were cracking up. I don't even know if this will make sense, so please take me as I am, will you, or tune me out. On February 7th, Chuck E. beautifully wrote (and this is reprinted with permission of the author): "There's a lot I'id say later.

Today this calls out to be released. Dear All: No longer captive, his soul is set free. He is stardust, he is golden forever in our hearts and minds. Chuck's email about going off to a wedding, still captive on the carousel -- and Smurf not -- brought this post from Smurf immediately to heart and mind. He was the *first* one I called with that dizzy dancing way I felt. Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 21:40:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Smurf Subject: "Circle Game" it is . . . NJC For those of you playing the home version of "What Song Will Patti's Son Pick to Dance with His Mother to at His Wedding" -- the results are in! As many of us were betting, it was indeed "Circle Game!" Patti, very stylishly dressed in her 30s evening gown, was promptly reduced to a puddle. Captive, - - --Smurf ******* Awwww! What a way with words. Smurftastic! Now back to the future...today, June 30th, 2009, in a swirl of painted ponies going up and down, I am once again reduced to a puddle. Bars in her head: "Oh, Papa Smurf, so funny, so adorable Always the clown so funny in his way Oh, Papa Smurf, to me he was so wonderful Deep in my heart I miss him so today." I miss his confidence, babies, and the gift of his extra time. And you know... I invite you to join me in sending up a prayer: "When We Have Gathered" "When we are gathered for a time Of worship and of song, Let none forget the joys and griefs. That mark each path of life and thus, We reach for those we love, We reach for those we love. For youth shall pass and time is wise, And countless seasons turn, So day by day our years increase Until at last by life released Our spirits shine like stars, Our spirits shine like stars." Shine on, Starbright. Shirley Yu.

Sadness enveloped a lot of us when Bob made his transition from life to death. He was, after all, a valued part of US - this dysfunctional family - the JMDL. Know that Bob would NOT want you to grieve this long and this deeply. He would want you to go on with living life to the fullest possible boundaries as he did. He fought hard, he didn't want to let go of his rich life and who can blame him, his was a life well-lived, a life filled with all of the extreme emotions that we call human. There are those of us still living, still out here loving you that you can hold in your heart. I'm not saying let go of the memories but think for a moment how Bob would want to be remembered, with tears in our eyes or laughter in our hearts? love, Cassy NP: Michael Franks - I don't know why I'm so happy I'm sad Actions speak for themselves - echoing into eternity ~ me ~ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:35:36 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: RE: njc, It was the 30th of June (a tribute to Smurf's eternity) Thanks for the comfort and consultation, Cassy. "I know this much is true." We all come from such different sets of psychological circumstance.

So don't you worry about a thang, Joni mama! ; ) My regrets, dear Coyotes, if I got your knees all wet! I did not mean to disturb anyone, throwing these flowers of deep feeling all around the room. I'm sorry. I meant to ultimately come out on the bright side. "But it's all right I'm O.K. How are you? For what it's worth I must say I love (d) you" LOL...I was Graham Nash on Monika's quiz, too!
