And I have to add that I've been enjoying Heliotrope muchly. My only tip regarding getting a car from Craig's List for a cross-country trip would be to have someone check it out first - that's a long haul. Thanks for the concert report - sounds like a wonderful event.

MMY came on first, and all we wanted to hear was the BEACH BOYS! The elders were shushing us. (Imagine eleven 8th--graders, unsupervised.) Before the concert we were hanging out in the park, and one of the roadies came up to talk to us. He said he'd meet us at the back door after the show and give us Denny Wilson's drumsticks.

Then they talk about her sitting in a wicker chair in Brazil Cafh in New Orleans with just a congo player backing her up. They claim that she came off the stage and introduced them to each other. They also said they danced with her to a Salsa band. When the crowd noticed her she sensed it and kissed them good bye then she jumped in a big yellow taxi. What was Jimmy smoking?

It's called "Voodoo Child" and it's an article about Leon Hendrix Jimi Hendrix's younger brother. In the article he speaks about being cut out of Jimi's will, about being a guitar player in his own right and not really being taken seriously. He has had his own demons to battle and someone finally paid attention. If you're interested the article can be found here: http://seattleweekly.realviewusa.com/?iid=23472 The article begins on page 11. It must be tough when there is a bronze statue of your older brother downtown! http://discoverblackheritage.com/jimi-hendrix-statue/ Of course, it didn't help that he made some really bad choices in his life. Warmly, Cassy NP: Victor Johnson - Real World (from Parsonage Lane... love the flute) ~ I've been meaning to do a review of this CD but life's been pretty hectic lately. Victor's vocals remind me so much of a band I listened to in the early 70's called Caravan. Their L.P. In The Land of the Grey and Pink came to mind immediately when I first heard him singing on this CD. More about that later.

It's a much-needed balm for the soul and I'm truly looking forward to it. I was recently laid off and have this hair-brained (or is it hare-brained?) scheme of driving across the country from NYC, seeing as I don't have to be anywhere in particular for a while. I've always wanted to Discover America, write my Great American Novel, and write a Great American Song. All of which has been done before, yes, I know. I'm kidding about the novel part, though I have been known to write a vitriolic journal entry on occasion. Only about Paz, though. So anyway, my hair/hare-brained scheme involves buying a used car off Craig's List (in and of itself a grand adventure), driving West, and perhaps playing a house concert or two or three or ten. I'll be trying to book some coffeehouse gigs and the like in places I'd like to visit, but I wanted to put out an APB to the List to see if anyone may be interested in helping me put together some house concerts along the way, or even play some coffeehouse or club gigs together. I think I'll take the northern route on the way out to CA and the southern route on the way back, as that seems the most sensible in terms of enjoying the weather along the way. Any and all advice, tips, leads, etc. are welcome. It would be a blast to see some of you on the way out and on the way back! :-) I also have to brag a little and mention that I was at the Paul McCartney concert at Shea Stadium last Friday night (I refuse to acknowledge its current corporate-whore name), and it was amazing. The Beatles were my first love, Paul had always been my favorite, and I'd never seen him live before, so this was quite a thrill for me. It was a very moving concert, particularly when he played "Here Today" for John and when he did a lovely version of "Something," which he began solo on ukelele; the song was accompanied by a very poignant slideshow of old photos of George and Paul together on the screen behind the stage. Paul's boyish charm is fully intact, as was noted by others here re: the David Letterman appearance. Paul talked about the last time The Beatles had played at Shea, how they couldn't hear anything because they were routed through the game PA system rather than a proper PA; and because of all the screaming, of course. At which point he paused rather pointedly and all the women in the place obliged. He responded with a grin and a shiver and then jumped into the next song. Extremely charming. Paul's advancing age notwithstanding, I'm sure there were plenty of women there who would have gladly thrown their undies on stage given half a chance. I was pretty close to the stage and considered throwing my bra up there, but then again, I really do need it. Anyway, you never know what's going to hit you the hardest in such an emotional concert (I was kinda expecting myself to cry just at the sight of him, but my composure mostly held), and I was surprised to find myself falling apart during "A Day In The Life." Who knew? His band is great, though it must be alternately thrilling and a drag for them artistically to be role players in the songs of the Beatles and Wings. The opening act, an Irish band called The Script, was surprisingly good, kind of a cross between U2 and Keane. And as wonderful an opportunity as it is to open for Sir Paul, it can't be easy trying to "warm up" a very goal-oriented crowd. I did not envy them that job. Well, maybe a little. ;-D Overall an incredible show, and interesting to me in that it's a greatest hits show that does not pretend to break any new artistic ground and yet somehow completely avoids clichi, decadence (well, the firebombs during "Live and Let Die" were slightly decadent), or irrelevance. Revisiting 40+-year-old hits might seem tawdry or even pathetic in less skilled hands, but Paul really is a genius, and his enthusiasm, charm, and ability to inhabit the music with complete integrity steers him leagues away from the Vegas act towards which a lesser artist's career retrospective might careen. And of course it's also a testament to the amazing Beatles songbook and the power those songs still have. It always amazes me to think that all that great music was produced in less than 10 years, before most of them turned 30; and also that our perception of that time is such an anchor in our collective consciousness, and further, that time has seemed to accelerate so much since then. The 80's and 90's zipped by with very little lasting relevance, but we always look back to that special period between 1963 and 1970 as if an eternity occurred within that time. I guess in a way it was an eternity; that time contained such gravity (literally and figuratively) and the ripples are still moving outward, and to me that time sometimes feels closer than the 80s and 90s. A strange phenomenon for people of my generation; those of us who were born at the tail end of the 60's and grew up in its tremendous shadow were aware that something amazing had just happened, but we were never able to exist inside it. It's as if we inherited a lifetime of memories that don't really belong to us. And when we started to grow up and were faced with the absurd, nihilistic bacchanalia of bands like Mvtley Cr|e, it was only natural for so many of us to turn to (and yearn for) the past for inspiration. And look at us now--Generation X really is a bit of a lost generation. Post-post-etc.-modernism is such a sad, barren legacy. ("Does anybody remember laughter?") In a way I envy the very young musicians coming up in NYC now, so unburdened by memories of how great music can be, and so completely focused on image and catching trends at the right moment. Life is probably easier that way... Well, I think that's enough philosophy/bs for one post. Oh, and those of you Down Under simply must make a point of hearing my lovely friend Kristin Berardi sing at the upcoming Joni tribute if you can. She will BLOW YOU AWAY. She's a truly great vocalist, scary, scary, scary. She has a naturally gorgeous instrument and the most amazing intonation I've ever heard. :-) Kay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KAY ASHLEY ~ Singer-Songwriter Listen to the debut album HELIOTROPE Produced by Michael Leonhart & Kay Ashley http://www.kayashley.com http://www.myspace.com/kayashley http://www.sonicbids.com/kayashley http://www.reverbnation.com/kayashley http://www.facebook.com/kayashley Selected for the Folk DJ's Choice Showcase, 2008 Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference "Kay Ashley's gorgeous, moving "Heliotrope" occupies a charmed point triangulated by Joni Mitchell's "Hejira," Paul Simon's "Graceland," and Nick Drake's "Pink Moon." A master of stacked vocal harmonies and alternate guitar tunings, Kay's melodies are instantly memorable yet devoid of clichi... At once a love letter to Africa, India, and men in her past, "Heliotrope" is a travelogue of the soulbetraying the influence of far-flung cultures while remaining both recognizably American and distinctly universal." ~Andrew Hultkrans, SPIN Magazine contributing writer - ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2009 #218 ***************************** - ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe - ------- [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of MTunz_DescMemo_6-23-09_a.pdf] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 07:21:29 -0700 (GMT-07:00) From: Darice Subject: MOA venue Steve, I too always "assumed" that the photo was Universal Amp. as I too was there one of the nights it was recorded.

One of the guys who works for me at the University is doing Neil Young. These are always great shows: *SATURDAY AUG 15 WMNF PRESENTS at Skippers Smokehouse* *Woodstock : The 40th Anniversary Re-Creation *The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, the most famous and important music and cultural event of the 20th century, began on August 15, 1969. 40 years later WMNF re-creates the festival with 18 of the best local bands each playing the highlights of the set of one of the Woodstock bands. Bands will play in the same order they played back in 69. Woodstock started with Richie Havens frenetic strumming and impassioned singing; we will start with Acho Brother playing highlights of Richie Havens Woodstock set. It wraps up at midnight with Soul2Earth channeling Jimi Hendrix with nothing but peace love and music inbetween. 2:00- 2:20 *Acho Brother* as Richie Havens 2:30-2:40 *Ted Lukas and the Misled* as Arlo Guthrie 2:50-3:05 *Liz Hollister*, as Joan Baez 3:10-3:15 *Ronny Elliott* as Country Joe MacDonald 3:20-3:30 *Rob Aptheker* as John Sebastian 3:40 -4:00 *Point 6* as Santana 4:10 -4:25 *Captain Obvious* as Mountain 4:35-4:55 *Union South featuring Jessica Atkinson* as Janis Joplin 5:05-5:25 *Uncle Johns Band* as The Grateful Dead 5:35-5:55 *Talk To Mark* as Creedence Clearwater Revival 6:05-6:25 *Four Star Riot* as Sly and the Family Stone 6:35-6:55 *The Beauville*s as The Who 7:05-7:25 *Big Wiggler* as Jefferson Airplane 7:35-7:50 *Scott Elliott* as Joe Cocker with *Talk To Mark* as The Grease Band 8:00-8:20 *Johnny G.

From cbs.com: "That famous performance on the "Ed Sullivan Show" came two months after their "debut" on the "CBS Evening News." "We just hope we're going have quite a run," McCartney said during that interview. And they did, with a little help from Walter Cronkite. "If there's some credit in history for that, I want it," Cronkite said.

I wish I could attend the SoCal Fest too, but alas and alack, you know how it goes. Im especially happy to report that thanks to Mark in Sydney, Ive hooked up my friend down there in Sydney with the news of the Joni Tribute and he's going to go with his family. Tres cool that is. Ive got the urge for going somewhere soon, so we;ll see where I end up ;-) Meh, prolly the garden .

I'm not sure if she was driving a used car, but it sounds like a wonderful adventure. I'm envious of those of you heading to California but I'm sure there will be recordings available and lots of pictures. And I very much enjoyed your concert report as well - I felt almost as if I were there. __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
