We got here with open minds...let's hope we don't close them at this late date. Cmon! I think the current breakdown of the music industry has actually brought things around and we are seeing many more small and deserving artists that now have a platform. Bring it...I'm never going to stop listening. The only thing that should separate us from new tunes is death. And even then, I've got a pretty good feeling music is at the forefront of even that next frontier! ;D Sent from Confunction Junction on my iPhone > On Jun 24, 2015, at 11:25 AM, Bob.Muller@Fluor.com wrote: > > Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy but where is the current generation's > 'music'?

I've seen him twice, with Amy Correia and Eliza Gilkyson as the opening and they were both outstanding. I assume that opening for Mr. Thompson is quite an honor. I'm jealous of that venue. Right now we are lacking a spot to host that level of artist. Hopefully something coming later this year to replace The Handlebar that closed down last year.

Have been a fan for ages and he is in my top five list of guitarist/songwriters with Joni and Luka Bloom. This is a very cool venue. The next night Rickie Lee Jones is there and later in the month Keb Mo, Todd Rundgren, Chris Hillman and a master guitar class with Dweezil Zappa. Like having a little bit of Laurel Canyon right here in NE Ohio. I'll have to get the new cd. I like reading interviews with Richard also. Like JT he is a dedicated working musician, projects serenity and has a wicked sense of humor.

It's always gratifying when someone "discovers" a new artist or music that they were previously not "into." Kenny B From: Lindsay Moon Subject: The Jungle Line Someof you know my son Dennis has a band and writes music. He's interested inexploring 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" isperhaps a little over the line) anyway. The other day he went on a road tripand said he wanted to listen to "Hejira." Hey, okay. I also try not toover-explain but I said it was all done on a car trip across the U.S. so nopiano. He came back the next day and said he was astounded. Yesterday, I foundHissing in the car and said, "May I play you one song?" I chose The JungleLine. I introduced it by saying that she'd found a recording of African Burundidrums and wrote a song over it. (The previous night, Dennis & band played at abar where one of the pre-acts was a guy with a laptop and rap songs which hesang over I'm afraid it was very hard for! me to understand ) I said, "Likethe 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 saidonly, "That was in-SANE." Highest compliment.

Definitely an 'eyewash' antidote to the Bad Blood video! :) I agree that Bad Blood is a slick Hollywood production that obscures what music value there is, which I think mostly comes from her collaborator in that song, Kendrick Lamar. I think most of us Joni fans here are older so I presume that most of us are not as vulnerable to the normalizing effects of slick contemporary Hollywood images of violence. But Swift's audience is largely adolescents and teenagers and those slick violent images may affect some of them. >The violence doesn't bug me so much as it seems it's a slick Hollywood >production with no music value. >Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy but where is the current generation's 'music'?

My reply: "I do have albums by Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys, TheTedeschi Trucks Band, Joe Bonamassa, and a bunch of others. Most of those folks are in their 20's and 30's, and are really good. So there is hope!" I was actually kidding about the younger generation, but humor is nearly completely lost in written formats.B Check out this one, Scottish singer Amy McDonald. About 27 years old now but only about 22 at the time of this video.
