At the end I'm shaking my head thinking she is so jaw dropping good how can I ever think of doing another Joni cover. So Dave says "Well, you can go back to Gershwin then". Hmmmm........Joni -Gershwin, Gershwin-Joni. He's got a point. No contest...... Goodnight or goodmorning where-ever you are.

I'm thinking of doing "Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)". No seriously, I really am. I've just always really enjoyed it. If I can actually muster the courage (and time) to really do it, I think it will be a good way to experiment with some of the programs I have, and just play with sounds and music. So here's the thing: I'd like to update the sound FX used in the song, since cigarette vending machines are pretty much extinct at this point. If anyone has any ideas on what sounds I can use for the 2010 version, send it my way either on-list or email coreyblake@gmail.com. I'm going to do some brainstorming myself, but I thought it would be fun to get input from the list since this whole thing is about calling on the creativity and resources of our Joni community. - -Corey On May 2, 2010, at 7:41 PM, Dave Blackburn wrote: > Dear Joni list friends, > > As Robin floated last week, about an idea to help Les cover his costs > for the great JoniMitchell.com website we all love, here is what we've > come up with for a fundraiser. > > THE PLEDGE > > Les needs $1000 by August 1st 2010 to keep the website afloat this > year.
