They seem convinced that it is right. I seem to be a lone dissenter in the group.. the meeting is tonight This cutting of trees to manage the forest does not feel right. The forest did very well for years before the combustion engine. Please, Can anyone offer ideas/ research or help? Marianne thank you Marianne ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:50:05 -0500 From: "David J. Phillips" Subject: Re: voices book She signed mine, for sure.

Here's a general overview on some of the topics - I'm sorry if this doesn't tell you anything you don't already know. Perhaps you can start a tree museum up there.

Les, I sure as hell don't know the man, but Joni could possibly be playing in standard tuning. Looks like an E shape capoed up to 4 or 5 which I guess would make it an A flat or an A. However, Jackson looks mighty amused so maybe it's another of Joni's "weird" chords. As for the event, probably a rowdy night out at the 'Dog and Duck' Yours, no help whatsoever, but feel my love coming at 'cha, Anita x On 28 Feb 2013, at 18:10, Les Irvin wrote: > David Geffen, Jackson Browne, Joni, and ??? > I'm guessing it's JD Souther.

I think Sheila Weller is a terrific and compelling writer and have no doubt that everything was thoroughly researched. I recall a long section in the back of source cites for all the outside information. My problem is with the ex-lovers and ex husbands who so freely told tales and shared initmate, personal information which is now forever memoralized in print. Many of those tales gave me no further insight into Joni at all and seemed gratuitous- just reading her lyrics all these years told me she has been through a lot of stuff. I guess in a way the book shows that some of her ex's were probably not the best characters and don't value loyalty or respect so much. I may be wrong but recall reading that neither Joni nor Carole provided input for the book. If Joni herself wanted to share the stories, that is fine, but without her input or side to the story, it seems unfair and intrusive. Part of my reaction comes from having met and talked with one of the ex's during a break at one of his shows in a small club. His insulting and dismissive comments about Joni to me were shocking. Saw another one of the ex's make some disrepsectful cracks about her at another show. Both these ex's were the ones so ready to tell the tales in the book. Graham always seems to be the only one who is a true gentleman and loyal friend. Maybe James Taylor, too. "They'll hurt you, and desert you, they'll take your soul if you let them."

It was an interview segment and he did portions of several songs. I thought that was clever because he did not perform any songs in their entirety. He left them wanting more. To get the complete song, the public will have to buy the download or the CD. Smart. The new album is called "Electric". He also discussed 1952 Vincent Black Lightening and played part of it.

And server costs are coming down considerably. I'm planning on moving the site to another server that's about half the cost, so it'll be under $500 a year. I'm unable to use those dime store server plans because of the databases and all the space the (mostly legit :-)) photos take up. I don't ever, ever want anyone to think they should/need to/have to pay anything for access to or use of the site... it is 100% free... yet I am eternally grateful to those who do make contributions. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #294 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
