I think she'll ultimately be remembered as a composer first and foremost, and will be one of the few whose work will resonate for many future generations." does tribute band only apply to the living?? tribute to Caesar? i agree that her compositions will stand the test of time. but i believe her lyrics will hold their own too. vivid snapshots, social history, much like dickens' work they reveal the social mores of these changing times. and i think dave's perception of the the timeline is correct. i remember the first time i heard david lahm on kjazz. i pulled my car over on pchand just listened that said, les how can we access the jmdl archives these days? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 14:59:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: My idea for a gift to Joni on her 70th birthday Ha ha! Great idea! Joni had what looked like an Iphone with her when she did her talk in Toronto a few months ago. I wonder if she's shittin' us when she says she doesn't own a computer? P.S. Sue, I love your idea. I'm so glad some people remember birthdays. I usually don't! >________________________________ > From: Michael Paz >To: shadows and light >Cc: Susan E.
