Are you suffering from low levels of Fred? Could you use some extra Fred to help you get through the week? Do you just simply need more Fred in your life? Well, who doesn't! And now, here's your chance ... for the first time, S.P.A.C.E. in Evanston presents the Fred Simon Group next Thursday, July 29, 2010, at 8PM. As this is the very first time my group will be playing at S.P.A.C.E., which is one of the absolute best listening rooms anywhere (with a fantastic piano!), and as I know we'd all like for there to be many more gigs in the future, I really hope that every single one of you (or even one out of every two or three of you) will come down to hear some of the most excellent musicians around help me bring the music to life. We'll play tunes from my most recent album, SINCE FOREVER (CDs available at the gig if you crave one), as well as some brand new tunes, and an old favorite or two. UPDATE: singer Ingrid Graudins, formerly with Jonatha Brooke/The Story, currently with Catie Curtis and many others) will be sitting in on a special tune! Bassist-extraordinaire Larry Gray shares the bill, starting at 8 PM with his excellent trio; Fred Simon Group goes on afterward. Please get down!

Alan Pownall's debut album, True Love Stories is out on Mercury and, according to the Sunday Times, the tracks currently inspiring him are Tom Petty: The Apartment Song, Roy Orbison: In Dreams and Joni Mitchell: A Case of You, which he describes as "the closest thing to a perfect song I have ever heard". Good judgement I say. Jacky ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 07:17:14 -0400 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: Love puts on a new face - NJC though Congrats there granny!!! Yee haw.

What a voice! and what a guitar player! The CD I bought is called "The sky is falling" and it's all, or mostly, live stuff. I also have some FN stuff that I've downloaded from here and there but it's very hard to find his stuff. I don't know if you know this place but recently my son and I discovered a store called Soundscapes, which is on College between Bathurst and Christie. They sell a lot of stuff you can't find anywhere else in Toronto: a lot of indie stuff, but also a lot of classic and hard-to-find folk, soul, jazz and other kinds of music - not the stuff you find at HMV and so on. http://www.soundscapesmusic.com/ ________________________________ From: "Stephen_Epstein@hugoboss.com" To: Catherine McKay Cc: Jim Kauffman ; joni@smoe.org Sent: Sat, July 24, 2010 9:05:58 PM Subject: Re: Extremely Obscure Joni Mention Catherine, Fred Neil is THE BEST! so glad you know and have discovered him.which one did you buy? he was a great songwriter and a brilliant 12 string guitar strummer. wrote the quintessential song for the soundtack of Midnight Cowboy. somewhere on the list there was discussion that Joni wrote one, but Fred's was chosen. I could talk to you for hours about him, got everything he ever did. When Kakki and I met up with Joni a few years back, just after 9/11, I mentioned to Joni that the world would be a better place if Fred was still alive.... there was a discussion about today's audience not knowing, but I think she agreed with us!! There is a great recording of Fred and Joni @ a save the whales benefit somewhere on the list, in San Franciso. bestStephen in Toronto ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:16:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Love puts on a new face - NJC though Congratulations! I'm looking forward to the day (not too soon though) when I have grandchildren of my own. But first, those kids need to finish school and get jobs and THEN find suitable mates. ________________________________ From: Marion Leffler To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Sun, July 25, 2010 5:52:04 AM Subject: Love puts on a new face - NJC though Hi jonipeople, I have to tell the world: yesterday afternoon (European time) a baby girl was born and I became a grandmother!

Thanks for this. I probably downloaded it from DAD when it was on - in fact, I'm sure I did, but I lost a lot of stuff when my external hard drive crashed. Odds are I had burned a CD of it, but try finding that stuff in my cramped apartment. I'd have to go through lots of boxes that are stashed in closets and under beds. ________________________________ From: Mark-Leon Thorne To: joni@smoe.org Cc: Stephen_Epstein@hugoboss.com Sent: Sun, July 25, 2010 4:25:15 AM Subject: Save The Whales Hi Stephen, Catherine and everyone.

If I have ever heard this set before, I don't remember it. I was blown away by 'Shadows and Light'. Would this be what you would call Joni de-constructing her own song? The guitar riff sounds similar to 'Coyote' to my ears and she almost completely changes the melody. A fascinating re-invention, using the instruments at hand (no synthesizer, no layered vocal track or back-up vocal group). The original studio recording had a very tight, structured feel to it, based on the keyboard (synthesizer) and layered vocal backup. This has a very loose, improvisational, bluesy sound to it, especially the vocal. It's also interesting to hear it re-configured for guitar and bass, Jaco brilliant as always. I love it!

Just to watching him hunch over clutching his guitar singing and playing---he was lost to another world with his music. His song "Faretheewell(Fred's Tune) is one of my top 10 and I've always believed to be a precursor for Joni's "River."
