So far I've had no advertising or promotions from the company and can't say I've noticed any increase in spam (that my Gmail account doesn't take care of, anyway).

I dithered and dithered about going to this concert and decided it was a choice between groceries and the concert, and the groceries won. I hate when that happens. So, how great to see it up on the CBC website! I'm frantically trying to remember when I first heard about Bruce Cockburn and I could have sworn that it was when I was still in Girl Guides, but that would probably have been 1966 or 67 and I doubt that's right because it seems too early. But I do remember being in the church hall with a bunch of other kids. God help me, but it may have been a Christian youth group or something that my parents might have forced one of my sisters and me to attend and if so that could have been a few years later. If I was even part of a youth group, it must have been short-lived because I remember nothing else except that some young guy came in and was playing songs and he played "Going to the country" and he was very disdainful that none of us had heard of Bruce Cockburn. So I immediately hated HIM, but I was interested in learning more about Mr Cockburn. One of my very favourite BC songs has always been "Coldest night of the year," which I often get mixed up with "Last night of the world," perhaps because of the words "night of the." ;-) Maybe it's the Toronto references in "Coldest night," but then again, I empathize with the feeling of the song too. And then again, there are just too many excellent songs to think about, kind of like Joni. Happy Canada Day to anyone who even feels remotely connected to my country! Tomorrow's the stat holiday but I'm taking Friday off too, just cuz I feels like it! NP: BC on the CBC, singing "If I had a rocket launcher," after which I really need to haul ass and get to work.

I've always related to the lyrics of 'Coldest Night Of The Year', too Catherine - with me, it's the line "I drove all the people home - I was the one with the car" Seems like all my adult life - among friends and in all the bands I've ever been in, I've always been the one with the car.

How were those days? How did you guys work? Michael Landau: That period of recording and touring with Joni was definitely a highlight for me. The tour was a world tour that lasted about 8 months. I think I was 24 years old then and yea, we were all haven a good old time and gettin' crazy drinking too much. Joni gave us all a lot of freedom to go where we wanted to take the music, she liked the harder sounding side of that band (Vinnie, Larry Klien & Russel Ferante) so we went with it. AL: How were you guys writing the tunes, did Joni come with the melodies in piano and guitar and you would put your take on it ? Was any of the live material improvized or everything was structured out? ML: Joni would show us the chord changes to the tunes on guitar or piano and she left it up to us what to play on it, sometimes we would try different ideas, but we usually stuck with the initial feelings. AL: I was reading somewhere that you played with Miles, did that happen? ML: I've only recorded on one Miles album on one track on the "Amandla" record. George Duke was producing in Los Angeles and I'm sorry to say that I never had the experience of meeting Miles or playing with him live. AL: Mike, someone was telling me about a band you had with Vinnie Colaiuta called 'Dog Cheese', what was that all about? ML: "Dog Cheese" was put together right after Joni's tour. It was Vinnie, Larry Klein, Steve Tavaglione and myself. We played original music that Larry and I wrote, and played around L.A. mostly at the "Baked Potato". There are some rough cassette's floating around of live shows, it was some pretty slammin stuff. We never did a record though... Its too bad. AL: Whats the probability that some of the rough tapes can be gotten hold off ? What was the material for Dog Cheese, were you guys taking some of Jonibs compostions at all? ML: There just a stereo mike "walkman" recordings, too rough to put out... It was all original material by Larry, Steve & myself. - ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 I recall correctly, it identified them as Refuge on the poster from that tour. Jack In a message dated 6/30/2010 4:05:07 P.M.

It's a dream band. I don't think anyone can come close to Jaco at bass, but fortunately Klein doesn't try to be Jaco. So, though I prefer the S&L band by far, the 80s band with Klein et al doesn't try to be the same, so it's OK. I also prefer the DJRD "Cotton Avenue," but still enjoy hearing the version at the Red Rocks concert. P.S. "Dog Cheese?" Yuk, blech, it gives me a bad taste in my mouth and I can smell something stinky just thinking about it. Maybe it was Joni's "punk" band. ________________________________ From: "Merk54@aol.com" To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Wed, June 30, 2010 5:43:20 PM Subject: Re: FW: 1983 version of Cotton Avenue I agree that Banquet was a highlight of that tour. That version caught me totally by surprise and I absolutely loved it. Aside from that cut, the rest of the show was pretty much a let down compared to the brilliance of the S&L tour. It didn't help that I've always been a major fan of Jaco's, and never really took to Kline's style of play. That said, I saw her 3 times on the 83 tour, and was very happy I did.
