I can imagine how stunning it must have been." Hi Kakki! Thanks for mentioning Dave and Robin's UK gigs, but the one I am involved in, in Greenwich, still has to take place next Saturday 2 October. I thought I'd just mention it again, in case people want to turn up. (Oliver's Music Bar, 9 Nevada Rd, Greenwich, London SE8. Contact me for more details.) I must say I am rather disappointed with the casual way Oliver runs his place. The website programme has not been updated since June, and the display board by his own entrance still only has the September list hanging up. Fat lot of good that is to people who may have been there over the weekend and wanted to know what was on next weekend! Also, I had asked Oliver if I could make a poster for the display case and he replied: "Of course!", so I made a special effort to have it ready last Saturday afternoon and rush it over to him. It was really nice, with a catchy photo of Robin and Dave, as well as one of Joni. He said it was great and he would put it up, but when I went around there yesterday evening (Sunday), there was still only the September list on display... Sigh... Anyway, I hope the club's regulars will just turn up blindly, plus I have some local friends who are keen to come. But it seems a pity, that we can't reach other local Jonifans for this sheer lack of information... I will report back in any case, next week!

This is what I wrote about the singing and performing when Travis & I arrived back in Seattle after the Van Gogh mini-fest: Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 19:55:57 -0800 From: Mark-n-Travis Subject: MEMBERS OF LOST TRIBE OF MITCHELLJONIA FOUND IN LA HIGH RISE (snip) And when Paz got out the guitar and the VG8 and the singing began - what a revelation! Everybody knew the words and it was like finding your long lost tribe! Paz played 'Love Puts on a New Face' and a beautiful rendition of 'Amelia' and many, many more. Steve Dulson nimbly picked out some tunes on his dulcimer and had a lot of fun noodling with the VG8. Paz also played keyboards and we were able to do 'Court & Spark' not to mention 'Me & Bobby McGee' (a la Janis Joplin) and a wonderfully harmonious 'Teach Your Children'. And somebody couldn't resist sneaking a little bit of Grace Slick into the CSN version of 'Wooden Ships' that the others were doing and I'm sure it sounded really odd (particularly sung by a baritone). We also did some 'For the Roses' karaoke. But the big surprise of the evening was Clark. A competent guitarist himself he favored us with three quite beautiful & moving songs that he had written himself. Clark is a very intense and talented man and it was great to get to meet him. (snip) Kakki, I vaguely remember you holding the microphone up to me very briefly during the karaoke. Having never sung with one and always feeling intimidated by any kind of instrumental accompaniment, I always think I sound horrible. I'm sure you're much too kind. Is anybody still in touch with Clark these days?

It appears that a Japanese fan found a bootleg DVD on the streets of Tokyo, cut it up into 15 parts & uploaded it to YouTube and then posted it to Linda Ronstadt's fan forum. Warren's widow Crystal Zevon found it there & posted his pieces to FaceBook. The interviews and documentary footage - eg Linda in her Malibu home and on the beach, Warren going to Burrito King on Sunset Boulevard and meeting fans at the Griffitho;? Observatory, Bonnie giving a tour of Frederick's of Hollywood (which she describes as "All that's sick about the way American's think about women", etc) has a rather strange home movie feel to it, accentuated by a dramatic classical music score (Dvorak's 'Suite In A Major for Orchestra') and some wonderful concert and studio footage of all four artists. (Warren sings 'Carmelita' and 'Frank & Jesse James'. Linda sings 'Tracks Of My Tears' and 'Lose Again', Bonnie sings 'Nothing Seems To Matter' and 'Give It Up Or Let Me Go' and Jackson sings 'After The Deluge') I've put all 15 parts up on my posterous site @ http://studio16a.posterous.com but if you only have time to watch one (or two!), don't miss Bonnie's songs - "Nothing Seemso;?

I guess we'll call you the great thread-ender (just kidding). I have to admit I don't follow the JMDL with any regularity any more but I do check back from time to time... usually to pick up the covers on the 15th and 1st of the month and occasionally in between. When I find myself with a bit of time on my hands I come to this email account and see if the Subject lines draw me in, sometimes they do but more often than not I delete most of the posts. There are a few people whose posts I always read (you know who you are) just because they are who they are. Vince... I do enjoy some of the same music you do and still like some older stuff too.
