[Patti Parlette ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:54:56 +0000 From: studio16a Subject: David Blue (sjc) Found this on a newsgroup recently - a live recording of David Blue singing "So Easy She Goes By" at the Unicorn Cafe - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiHM0hotkPo along with Leonard Cohen's elegy David Blue 1941-1982. He died running, he fell beside the square, to the street where, many years before he had begun to sing, he fell in the fullest expression of vanity and discipline. Many of us, in our songs, had touched on the type of man that he became. Dylan raised up such a ragged hero many times before he turned to solace in the shadow of American Christianity. Joni Mitchell had spoken simply of that constant ambiguous lover, spoken of him over and over, before she entered the beautiful technology of jazz and virtuosity. Kris Kristofferson had described that gambler playing his way from Nashville to Hollywood, where finally the dangers of the game were too coarse for poetry. David Blue was the peer of any singer in this country, and he knew it, and he coveted their audiences and their power, he claimed them as his rightful due. And when he could not have them, his disappointment became so dazzling, his greed assumed such purity, his appetite such honesty, and he stretched his arm so wide, that we were all able to recognize ourselves, and we fell in love with him. And as we grew older, as something in the public realm corrupted itself into irrelevance, the integrity of his ambition, the integritv of his failure, became, for those who knew him,increasingly important and appealing, and he moved swiftly, with effortless intimacy into the private life of anyone who recognized him, and our private lives became for him the theaters that no one would book for him, and he sang for us in hotel rooms and kitchens, and he became that poet and that gambler, and he established a defiant style to revive those soiled archeypes. In the last few years, something happened to his voice and his guitar, something very deep and sweet entered, his timing became immaculate and we knew that we were listening to one of the finest, one of the few men singing in America and I was happy then and perhaps happier now to say that I told him that. He did not put away his cowboy boots. He did not take a part-time job, he was fully employed in his defiance and his originality and his faithfulness to a ground, a style, an image of which he himself was the last and best champion exponent, a style that many of us had wanted, courted, and had not won. And finally, toward the end of his short and graceful life, he had the grace to recognize the woman to whom he had always been singing, and he courted and married Nesya and because a woman of talent and beauty does not choose lightly, she made manifest for all to plainly see the qualities of love and generosity that he had forced out of his distress. The death of such a man unifies us, and recalls to us how precious we are to one another Leonard Cohen ___________ very best to all PaulC NP 'Please Forgive Me (Song of the Crow)' by William Fitzsimmons ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:12:44 -0700 From: "Les Irvin" Subject: Cut from the new CD Here's the Carey/Mr Tambourine medley in its entirety from the new Amchitka CD: http://tinyurl.com/ylkefdw Pretty amazing, if you ask me.

Site is pretty slick otherwise, but that link just gets swallowed up somehow. I love how she calls James out to get the words right, and you can tell he knows the lyrics backwards and forwards but wants to leave her room. Hearing them find the right balance and harmonies - very spontaneous, wonderful musical moment. - -Corey On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 1:53 PM, wrote: > > > http://www.amchitka-concert.com/> > > Thanks Corey...I had been all over the site and hadn't seen that link, > maybe they just put it up? > Anyway, listening to Joni & JT stumble-harmonizing through "Mr. Tambourine > Man" right now and thinking that it's pretty cool. > > Bob > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > The information transmitted is intended only for the person > or entity to which it is addressed and may contain > proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material. > If you are not the intended recipient of this message you are > hereby notified that any use, review, retransmission, dissemination, > distribution, reproduction or any action taken in reliance upon > this message is prohibited.

Not major changes, but just enough to make you aware that you can't keep painting another starry night, man! ________________________________ From: Corey Blake To: jonipeople Sent: Thu, November 12, 2009 5:01:14 PM Subject: Re: Cut from the new CD Yes, it's very easy to miss.

Bon soir, Joniami(e)s! I saw this on Salon.com today and couldn't wait to share it: "Springsteen Robbed of Spot on NPR's 50 Great Voices list: http://tinyurl.com/y99sez5 (Hi Rose and Hi Muller!) And you know there may be more omissions: No Beatles? No Bonnie? No Elvis Costello? No Grace Slick (for Mark in Seattle), and no Laura Nyro (Hi Gary Z!)? And my boss could not believe there was no Pavarotti. Oh, well. As long as Joni is there, babies, I don't care. In the comments section, I saw that at least two people voted for Joni. She has GOT to be in the final list. Let's go, Team Joni. Let's go, fight, win! Yes we can! xo, pp P.S. Happy belated Joni birthday to all. It was my only channeled aspiration all day Saturday to write, and I was going to do that as the curtain closed on the portrait of the day, but I got swept up by the healthcare debate on CSPAN AND the Husky game. I was keeping score for both, and running back to my computer to FB IM my Lakota friend. It was Flip City. Thankfully, healthcare won (for now), but our poor Huskies lost another heartbreaker. Those poor kids need a win so bad after the horrific murder of one of their brothers. ANYWAY, I really did want to share a group hug with you all, and to "thank you for presence and for being here and everything. Thank you very much." It's a warm arrangement and I am so grateful for this list and the wonderful friends I have made here. "Some are dead and some are living, in my life, I've loved them all." Amen.
