NJC Jonathan - thanks for expounding on your likes and tastes...I also love the early Springsteen, "Kitty's Back" is my all time fave of his followed closely by "Meeting Across The River". Jealous that you have seen him in a smaller setting BUT he does have that ability to bust through a large setting and make you feel like he's performing just for you. After "Little Earthquakes" and "Under The Pink" Tori Amos does what I call the 'Tori trap'...you hear a really good song from the new record, think that the new one will be as good as those 2, and find out that there is only the 1, maybe 2 decent songs on it and the rest is forgettable. She trapped me several times and won't do it again. Ben Folds gigged a lot early on in North Carolina and my sister turned me on to his first record. Have been a devotee ever since. It's great that you have Gerry Rafferty as your unique treat. I've never delved very deeply into his work but am tempted to do so. So much music, so little time.

I had to come out of lurkdom for THIS thread. I've found it very interesting to see the diverse group of people everyone has selected so far too either be second-in-line to their love for Joni - or ahead of her, in their eyes (and ears). Regarding some of the other peoples' choices: I've never really "gotten" Leonard Cohen but maybe it's because I haven't heard a wide enough cross section of his work. And, while I think Tom Waits is a genius, his body of work has just been too uneven for my taste (love some, hate most). As for my selections: Todd Rundgren has always been tied with Joni for my love of their life's accomplishments in music; close behind are Stephen Stills (especially with Manassas), Joe Walsh, Laura Nyro, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, Joe Jackson, Flo and Eddie, and Leon Russell (for a top ten, I guess). These people all have stood my test of time and I still enjoy their music today. Of course, I enjoy many newer musicians and groups as well, people like Michael Penn, Aimee Mann, Avril Lavigne, Adele, Chris Smither (who I'm going to see live next weekend in Beacon, NY), and groups like Wilco, Son Volt, and Fountains of Wayne. I must admit to liking some of the newer "alternative music" played on college radio stations today but it all sounds the same after a while; one group is much like the next.

I can't afford the time or money. The Beatles would probably be my second in line, if that's not cheating. I listen to a lot of women: Tori, Missy Elliot, Pink, Rhianna, Fiona, Ellie Goulding, Sarah Vaughn, and Ella Fitzgerald. Male artists I love include Neil Young, Paul Simon, David Bowie, Eminem, Tom Petty, Jay-Z, Prince, and David Byrne. Joni is directly responsible for making me a fan of Charles Mingus, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Brian Blade, Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross, Cassandra Wilson, Glen Hansard, Seal, Chaka Khan, and Aimee Mann. Maybe some day I will check out this Bruce Springsteen guy. I know of a couple of his songs. I have heard the name Tom Waits, but I have no idea what he's about. But I trust you guys after learning about Laura Nyro. Bob Dylan, though...I do not get what people like about him. Betsy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 00:42:43 +0200 From: Jonathan Edward Lowe Subject: Re: 1st after Joni (or before?) NJC Yep, Springsteen is great in a stadium venue, but I have also been lucky enough to see him in smaller places over the years, and that's even better. I prefer the early stuff- my favourite LP of his is The Wild, The Innocent & The E-Street Shuffle. I came to Ben Folds late, about 9 years ago, and curse myself for missing earlier tours (it was a near miss- I heard the first BFF LP and it didn't "take" with me then) the thrill of buying and getting to know each release as it came out (you know how it is when you come in at LP #5, then have such a tidal wave of back catalogue to catch up with that you can't really identify the tracks with the LP, so it doesn't all really gel like it should?). Having said that, I have listened to so much BF and BFF, that it all gels now, just as with Joni. BTW, the first Joni album I heard was FTR, which I was given by a friend who got it as an "unwanted gift"- unbelievable! That was around 1983. Tori Amos...try the "From The Choirgirl Hotel" LP if you don't know that one- stand-out tracks for me are "Northern Lad" and "Jackie's Strength". Her output is variable in style, and some styles of hers I don't like as much, but on piano and vocal, well, I think she comes close to Joni there. Gerry Rafferty I admit is a little sentimental choice (I did say it's hardly ever objective). Baker Street was one of the first songs that got me listening to music, but that whole LP is great, as is much of "Night Owl" and "Snakes & Ladders". A dip in form followed with "Sleepwalking" but the later "North & South" release was great, as was some of the final years output. I really think that he could have been much more successful, but as you probably know, he didn't want that. He just wrote and played music and that's all he ever wanted to do- he hated the limelight and was very suspicious of the "star-maker machinery" (much like Joni). However, unlike her, he never even managed to have an uneasy relationship with it, and he drank copiously and often, which is ultimately what did for him. I'm going to Paisley (nr. Glasgow) in a few weeks for a memorial concert organised by his daughter on what would have been his 67th birthday.

McNamara" Subject: RE: 1st after Joni (or before?) NJC I almost exclusively listen to Joni because I'm always working on getting my guitar skills built up and she is my master. Right now I am playing exclusively in Open G alternatives and am listening to For the Roses in a constant loop. When I do switch gears I usually listen to Todd Rundgren, John McLaughlin in all of his forms (I do love Shatki), and recently I've been listening to a lot of Sarah MacLaughlin. I also love Suzanne Vega and am a huge fan of Bruce Cockburn. When my moods grow dark, I also go through months of only listening to Porcupine Tree, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Info about the theatre itself from http://carlsbadvillagetheatre.com/ Well have a nine-piece band that night, with our own Jaco, fretless wonder Kevin Hennessy and a lead guitarist, Jamie Kime, that will blow your mind, plus the Sharonettes and a harmonica man. The theatre holds 300 plus, has great lights, and there will be concert sound brought in by Mitch Grant of Special Event Audio. The show will be done by about 6.30 so a post-show dinner hang is definitely in order. Tickets are $20 in advance, available from http://www.robinadler.com/products.html and $25 at the door. I was going to give a bulleted list of reasons why you should be there, but maybe all that needs to be said is that it is HEJIRA, the best album of all time.
