Today brings me one of the most dependable artists around, and a solid contemporary of Joni's - Richard Thompson. Richard of course coming from the British folk background of Fairport Convention, who recorded a slew of Joni's songs early on: Both Sides Now Chelsea Morning Eastern Rain I Don't Know Where I Stand Marcie Night In The City Richard was also featured in the TNT Joni tribute, playing a blistering Black Crow and Woodstock. If you've not seen him live, you owe it to yourself to do so. He'll be on the road, touring his latest release, "Still" which I heard this AM and love. Produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. Also coming out today is an album called "Mingus Sings", a collaboration between Frank Lacy and the Mingus Big Band. Frank has all 4 of the Joni-Mingus songs on the album (Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Dry Cleaner, Sweet Sucker Dance, and A Chair In The Sky). The first two songs are fairly common, the latter two not so much. Happy new music Tuesday!

Let me explain. I cant take these images.I am too sensitive for what you're showing here. I simply cannot handle horror. I cannot bear to see it or hear it. I have told my computer to keep any horror at bay. I have banned it outright. My mind is delicate. I have developed my finest reason so that I can keep this at bay. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:44:47 +0000 From: c Karma Subject: re: The Jungle Line I've re-started a project that I'd let languish too long, unfortunately. Around 10 years ago, I purchased a mint condition CD-4 Quadraphonic LP of HOSL. It is RUMORED that the discrete 4 tracks on the Quad are set up to allow isolation of the Burundi drums. This is a legend I wish to prove or debunk once and for all. I'd never seen any verification on this list, so in the absence of an acquaintance with a working Quadraphonic system, I've decided to build my own version 30+ years after the technology collapsed. I have some of the last pieces coming within the next week or so and provided everything works, I may have the answer to a question only I seem to have asked. I DO think however, that isolating that track would make performance of the piece more possible for a greater number of artists. About 15 years ago, I'd heard a background track on Public Radio that I swore was the Burundi drums, without Joni's overlays. I'd back-searched it and was given a source but hit a brick wall prior to the era of digital music availability. Very unfortunately, I've since lost the information so far as I had. Just throwing it out there again, does anyone know the source or availability of the track? CC - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 07:05:41 -0700 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: The Jungle Line Some of you know my son Dennis has a band and writes music. He's interested in exploring a lot of different areas but I've tried to not overwhelm him with Joni (okay, leaving the interview on his pillow with Robert Plant, one of his heroes, waxing on about sitting at the feet of Joni hearing her play him "Number One" is perhaps a little over the line) anyway. The other day he went on a road trip and said he wanted to listen to "Hejira." Hey, okay. I also try not to over-explain but I said it was all done on a car trip across the U.S. so no piano. He came back the next day and said he was astounded. Yesterday, I found Hissing in the car and said, "May I play you one song?" I chose The Jungle Line. I introduced it by saying that she'd found a recording of African Burundi drums and wrote a song over it. (The previous night, Dennis & band played at a bar where one of the pre-acts was a guy with a laptop and rap songs which he sang over  I'm afraid it was very hard for! me to understand ) I said, "Like the guy last night, she made up a song over a song." Haha. I played the song. At the end I said, "Go ahead and call her a folksinger if you want" He said only, "That was in-SANE." Highest compliment.

Here's what she says about it: JM: Okay. There's an album out called "The Music of Burundi" which is just full of little gems of -- one of my favorite tracks to dance to is this Burundi war piece. It's just full of' like' licks that later isolated and repeated became pockets of rock and roll. For instance, on "Hissing of Summer Lawns'" I did a piece and I isolated a Bo Diddly figure from this passage and looped it and ran it over and over again (sounds out a beat), and if you listen to it closely there are all kinds of Chuck Berry-isms and Little Richard-isms floating through it. I assume that's the correct title; I don't see that album anywhere, the artist is "Royal Drummers of Burundi" however. Happy hunting!

I'll have to hit up MarkScott off list for the source unless he joins the conversation. Thanks all!
