Conversations about the Beatles and Joni that are intelligent, informative, and fun!!! My love of Joni goes back to when I began playing guitar- Blue is my "go to" song on piano- fave songs are For Free, California, River, Peoples parties/same situation, car on a hill- oh ok there are just too many to mention. Praying for Joni's speedy recovery every day. Bless all of you!

Coincidentally, i had a month prior seen Joni on The Dick Cavett Show right after Woodstock and fallen hopelessly in love. i found her (Clouds) in the miscellaneous female bin at a downtown record store. (i don't remember if i bought Ladies of the Canyon or Song to a Seagull next, but had both down by the time Blue was released, which i adored on first listen, as i had Abbey Road.) There are of course a lot of great Beatles albums, i own their CD box set, but AR is my favorite. > > Cordially, kK > >> On Jul 14, 2015, at 2:00 AM, owner-joni-digest@smoe.org (JMDL Digest) wrote: >> >> >> JMDL Digest Tuesday, July 14 2015 Volume 2015 : Number 285 >> >> >> >> ========== >> >> TOPICS and authors in this Digest: >> -------- >> Re: Stereo gear flea market today, njc [Michael Paz > >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2015 10:58:38 -0500 >> From: Michael Paz >> Subject: Re: Stereo gear flea market today, njc >> >> That is just TOO much information you little shit!!! >> >> LMAO >> >> >> On Jul 12, 2015, at 10:45 AM, Victor Johnson wrote: >> >> Abbey Road...released the day I was born.

Very nice, many references to Joni, having us sing Our House to Joni. >> >> Victor, I think the song that Graham referenced on the joke album for jailed Crosby, was "I'm Forever Blowing Bubba." They also included "Ring of Fire." >> >> There were a couple of things that Graham mentioned that surprised me. He talked about "Just a Song Before I Go," as having been composed on a bet with a friend from Hawaii. He said he won the bet, $500. Which all makes good sense, but I could have sworn that he said in a previous interview that he wrote it on a challenge from a cab driver in New York. >> >> Also, when he was talking about composing Cathedral, last night I think he said that Winchester Cathedral was about 15 minutes away from Stonehenge. Is it? Was he referencing Salisbury Cathedral, perhaps? He says he was pretty loaded on acid when this happened. >> >> By the way, he also said he was surprised how hot it was in Portland yesterday, 97F. He said he expected Portland to be drizzly, and referenced global climate change.

Graham said whenever a man says that to Crosby, he rejects it because it reminds him of prison. He also mentioned something about a fake album they made up for him while he was in prison...Blowing Blubber for Life or something. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2015 #335 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendto joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
