The three women not only sang the songs but did intros to each song with a little background about what was going on in the artists life ... before the show I told my friend I came with (who did not know a lot about Joni but was a big Laura Nyro fan) the story of Joni and Kilauren, and then they sang Little Green ... after the show my friend said she was so glad I told her the story because the song really blew her away. The best part was the harmonies, beautiful! The singers were: Melissa Hammans, Shaleah Adkisson, and Maddy Wyatt. Here is their promo to the show, called Back to the Garden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHusZg-UJms Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu From: Barbara Sullivan [mailto:chasada@msn.com] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 11:47 AM To: Susan E.

Several listers have made comments like the one above about how Laura Nyro would have been a better fit with Carole King and Joni Mitchell for "Girls Like Us" than Carly Simon, but none of them gave any reasons for this belief. I will try to articulate it. Carly came from a wealthy family and was a performer )with her sisters) long before she was a songwriter. Like Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro came from a more modest background and was writing songs performed by otherrs before she became a performer herself. Anyone else have any other thoughts on this?

But let me say before I go, it's worth it anyway. Someday we may all be surprised. We'll wake and open up our eyes and then we will realize the whole world feels this way. We've all been living upside down and turned around with love unfound until we turn and face the sun. Yes, all of us, everyone. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #1340 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
