Les has provided me with a wonderful database program and I populate it with data as I discover new entries. The lists are just a product of extracts of this database and Les' programming wizardry. The searching and sorting capabilities of this database are an IMMENSE help to me in my efforts. I don't have anything to do with any of the other sections of the website but they are all equally wonderful. Speaking of covers - we are nearing the 4,000 mark. What a long strange trip it's been.

I am still recovering from the effects (fully paralyzed left side), but it is going slow. My doctor predicted a recovery period of at least two years. I am now beginning to feel the full effect of the situation. My early recovery went well, but due to some silly misinterpretations during physiotherapy I broke my left arm and severely tore my left Achilles heel. As a result of the latter I had to stay in my chair for almost 4 months, which severy affected my leg musculature. I can now hardly walk and my physical condition is zilch. Thanks to a directed physiotherapy programme, I can type again, which means that I can work a little again (translation). However, just the word 'stroke' takes many a client aback, and my income has gone down by 80% over the year 2012. My mind is still all-right, but customers need to see and experience that first. And I cannot move or travel yet. Also, I had to spent all my leftover savings (after my sabbatical trip in 2010) just to stay alive. And now I am receiving all kinds of letters from official instances stating something like "We understand your situation and sympathize with it, but you must also understand that we are a commercial organization." I am now made aware that I am even in danger of losing my home, as I have not been able to pay for it fo some time. And I am receiving letters in the same vein on a daily basis. I have been a trustworthy creditor for 30+ years, always paying automatically and in advance, but now I have lost all possibilities to continue to do this. One of the JMDLers adviced me to write to the list as I have many friends here. I reluctantly do this now. Pride is still in my way, but I am quite desperate. So. my appeal to you: if you can, will you please help me a little. I can hardly work, as I cannot visit clients due to my paralysis and the official ban to drive, which I got after my stroke. I am so desparate about the chance of losing my home and becoming homeless. Please help me! My PayPal address is johnvantiel@home.nl and my International Bank Account Number (INAN) is NL24 RABO 0313 0478 20 EUR. I really need your help. Every little bit will be so welcome! I know you helped me once before and I was and am eternally thankful for that. But I am unable to help myself at the moment. Still too paralyzed. Thank you for hearing me! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 13:35:41 -0500 From: "David J. Phillips" Subject: Re: Fiddle and the drum question It's always seemed to me to be a fairly straightforward reference to violent state responses toward peaceful citizen protest. This was a common crisis of U.S. politics at the time. Now, too, of course, but it doesn't get quite the press it used to. djp On 25/01/13 13:2012, Moni Kellermann wrote: > Am 25.01.2013 01:15, Wie Dave Blackburn so vortrefflich formulierte: >> We're working on The fiddle and the drum and I got to wondering >> whether the line "you raise your sticks and cry and I fall, oh my >> friend" might in fact be "and I follow, my friend."

Well, it appears twice during the song and it always rhymes with "fightin' us all", so I don't think that Joni meant it to NOT rhyme.

Simon?? Best Paz Michael Paz michael@thepazgroup.com On Jan 21, 2013, at 12:16 AM, Randy Remote wrote: Reading Neil Young's quirky autobiography "Waging Heavy Peace". Chapter 21 shows a picture of Joni playing an electric guitar (looks like a Gretsch hollow-body, probably one of Neil's), and Neil playing a Fender, both of them at mics. The caption says "With Joni Mitchell, doing her song "Raised On Robbery" at Studio Instrument Rentals in Los Angeles, where the album Tonight's The Night was recorded in 1973." Later he writes: One night Joni Mitchell came in and did "Raised on Robbery" in the most sexy and revealing version that song ever had. She still refuses to let me release it. I don't know what the hell she was thinking when she joined us and sang the song. It kicks ass. What the fuck was that about? It was funkier than anything she has ever cut. A total gem!
