Hi Bob, As for "before," in college I was into Dylan more than Joni but only because I was learning guitar on my own, and his songs weren't complicated. Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 05:53:39 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: second in line Rickie Lee is definitely an original and always worth seeing live because she never does the same show twice. Some of my favourites after Joni include Jonatha Brooke, Rosanne Cash, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Sandy Denny and Lucinda Williams, not in any particular order. Apparently my very favourites are all women, but I also like Springsteen and Tom Waits. To be honest, I don't listen to Joni a lot these days, but she was the very first musician that truly captured my attention and made me realize there was more to music than the bubblegum we listened to when I was an adolescent. >________________________________ > From: Jamie Zubairi Home >To: LC Stanley >Cc: "clarkjeff440@ymail.com" ; Joni JMDL >Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2014 6:12:50 AM >Subject: Re: second in line > > >Mine is Rickie Lee Jones.

I've seen her perform more than anyone else in the world (then Suzanne Vega). I guess I'm too young and too much on the wrong side of the pond to have seen Joni live. I guess Joni to me stops me from being a musician (I find it debilitating that I'll never be as creative as her as a musician) but after listening to RLJ or seeing her live in concert, I get the feeling that real creativity is at flow during the gig (yes, sometimes it just doesn't work, which is also encouraging that she experiments in public).

From: Jeff Clark Does anyone else have a second in line after Joni? Hi Jeff, If this is measured by numbers of albums and song books owned, hours spent playing and singing the artist's songs, documentaries watched, friends made, miles traveled and time and dollars spent at fests and other gatherings centered around sharing joy of the artist's work then no other female or male singer/song writer even comes close to Joni for me. If it is measured by what goes into my CD player, I guess Judy Collins tied with Laura Nyro would be second in line.

NJC That's pretty cool...I'm also a big Springsteen fan although he can be hit and miss. He's the ONLY artist I'm interested in seeing in a LARGE live venue (Atlanta the 26th of this month). His live show is comparable to no other. Ben Folds - huge fan, glad he's back together with the Five. His solo stuff is as good. Also puts on a great show. Tori - two GREAT albums and then a fizzle for me, nothing has come close to those first 2 (and I'm not counting Y Kant Tori Read?). Gerry Refferty...interesting choice. Have never known anyone to place him on this level. Tell me more. To my "After Tom" list you can add Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, Prince, XTC (I suppose they're done) and Todd Rundgren.

For me, Tom Waits is right up there with Joni. Also love Ben Folds, Gerry Rafferty, Tori Amos and The Boss. So difficult to select an overall favourite. Objectively (since when is musical taste EVER objective!), I would say that for the combination of wonderful poetry and tunes that take some time to work their magic (and are all the better for that), it's probably Joni and Tom tied at the top.

(sjc) That's a fabulous playlist. I gasped at "Black Crow". Yes! I'd throw in some Bach (maybe the Doan Nobis Pacem from the B Minor Mass). djp Jonathan Edward Lowe wrote: > I found the video of this woman hearing for the first time through cochlear > implants very moving...and a reminder of how lucky most of us are just to be > able to do "normal" stuff.
