Happy weekend all! Thanks to those of you who sent your offlist responses. For those of you who are wondering if you guessed correctly... 1. Remember the question is regarding ALBUMS. WOHAM is of course one obvious choice and that pops up on FTR and MOA. Tax Free and Beat of Black Wings also feature the naughty bit so the answer is FOUR. 2. Judy does love her some Joni, as well she should for what BSN did for her career. She recorded Midway fairly recently, and Michael From Mountains early on. She recorded For Free in 1989 with pianist Richard Stoltzman. She has not tackled I Don't Know Where I Stand, and since Barbra Streisand has I totally get not trying to compete with that. 3. You all knew the line from Roses Blue..."martyr" was the missing word. 4. Taming The Tiger begins with Harlem in Havana (an A+ track for me) and ends with Tiger Bones but I also accepted My Best To You. 5. Prince is a MAJOR Joni fan and has references and tributes throughout his work. One of the more famous is the snippet in "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" where he pulls up a bit of "Help Me". A great record if you've not heard it. Prince also does one of the finest ACOY covers out there. And speaking of covers, be on the lookout for a brand-spanking new volume of gems this weekend.

That's not to say that the pharmaceutical industry is evil and that modern medicine hasn't done some wonderful things, just that as individuals we need to be more cautious then we typically are when doctors (who are well-oiled by big pharma) want to put us on the latest and greatest medicine. My friend's grandmother lived to a ripe old age. When we visited her one summer, I noticed that she had a room in her house practically FULL of hat boxes. She said that whenever she didn't feel well, instead of paying for a doctor she went to buy a lovely new hat and it always made her feel better.

The thing with common sense, Bob, is that it really isn't very common. The current idea that grief which lasts more than a couple of weeks is to become diagnosable as a mental disorder strikes me as completely bonkers. If you really love somebody and lose them, how can you possibly get over it within a couple of weeks? The work with dementia patients and music is very heartening and to see folk who one minute can be bewildered and unsure what is going on being able to sing along to a familiar tune in the moment is really wonderful. I still don't understand the quote from the Canadian media, but there you go. The good news is that I can still the whole of STAS!

Yes, modern medicine has given us so much that it is miraculous, yet the opposite is also true - Doctor's pills do indeed give us brand new ills. I simply LOVE the idea of buying a new hat when I don't feel well. And, these days, I am in such a good place I dare to believe that I may not have to buy a hat for a while, which feels a very great blessing to enjoy this evening, Anita x On 03/04/2013, Bob.Muller@fluor.com wrote: > And it really speaks to Joni's line "Doctor's pills give you brand new > ills"...I have friends and family members who have been prescribed > anti-depressants and found themselves in a downward spiral that required > more and more medication before they finally said enough and broke free. > > That's not to say that the pharmaceutical industry is evil and that modern > medicine hasn't done some wonderful things, just that as individuals we > need to be more cautious then we typically are when doctors (who are > well-oiled by big pharma) want to put us on the latest and greatest > medicine. > > My friend's grandmother lived to a ripe old age.
