Thanks for another great Cover CD, Mr. Muller. Nice little concert from Liz Scatteregood. She sounds very much like Joni, as well as the arrangements for most of the songs. You're spot on "Ogre" being strange. He formed the group Skinny Puppy in Canada, and sounds like he was still on his cocaine addiction when doing his cover of "Black Crow" and "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat". Really horrible. I loved the Canadian country singer, Meg Rose Smith. She does a terrific job on "BSN", the most covered song of Joni's. It still amazes me that even though so many people cover BSN, I grow tired of it, then someone like Meg puts a new spin on it, and it brightens my day. Same goes with the Finish group Vesa Ja Tytot, but as you know I love to hear Joni lyrics in a non English voice. Good ole Freda Payne and Bobby Vee singing BSN was some great cheese. Where the hell did you find that? My favorite has to be Steve Stefanowicz's cover of "River". He truly is the "Human Jukebox". Blind at birth, he has the most beautiful voice and is such a great guitarist. I'd love to have the chance to hear him at a nice small venue. Thanks again Bob for all you do! Jimmy P.S.

When I saw her at her art exhibit in 1999, I gave her some CDs of people in the group playing and singing at one of the first Jonifests ;-) I just wanted to let her know how she had brought together people from all over the planet to get together and play her music. I think it would be just fine to send her something if you want to. Just as long as you don't expect any response, which I'm sure you don't. I think just knowing you have sent her a token of your love and admiration is enough. I wish everyone could have the chance to meet her sometime. She is wonderful in person, even more wonderful than one could ever expect. Also, I have been an oil painter most of my life but for a long time didn't like having to deal with turpentine, paint thinners, etc. I learned from some great painters a few years ago that now most of them work with organic oils, preferably walnut oil, but even plain old vegetable oil works, too! Small drawback is that it takes a little longer to dry but the beauty of not having to deal with harsh, flammable materials is a huge benefit! Maybe that can work for you.

Thanks too for doing the research that *I* used to do. :-) I actually liked Ogre's take on GPPH, lost of solid musicianship too. Did not know the Skinny Puppy connection. The Freda Payne et al track comes from a Barbara McNair album on Amazon: http://goo.gl/Ecmqe Apparantly it's a bootlegged compilation of duets and other group sings she did from TV. I do remember that Ms. McNair posed for Playboy back in the 60's....thank you Google Images!

Yes, Joni is more than alright! Her words have been wrapped around my brain like butcher's paper for as long as I can remember (since I was 12). And I don't need a radio to hear her collected hits inside my head. She brings out the poet in me and the painter, even though I can no longer use oils (my MS has made me allergic to that lovely smell of turpentine, linseed oil and Damar varnish.) You are lucky to share her name. Do you know if the real Joni M reads this site? I'd love to tell her how cool I think she is. How her words have saved me from so many horrid times I had before. How she's elevated my spirit. I'd love to mail her my poetry book and a painting but don't think she'd be in the phone book. But she may already get lots of crap sent to her by fans, I'd guess. What do you think?
