Subject: Joni & Jewish Celebrations Catherine, I wish I could find it now, but early this year (or was it last) after one of her appearances in LA (it could have been the Hammer Museum) I came upon someones instagram photo of Joni at the table of a Jewish Holiday celebration or a shabat dinner. So this was in the last 12 months that she was part of this tradition. Laura From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Joni and her jewish heart I'm finding it too difficult to find the exact articles where Joni has spoken about religion in general or her religion specifically, but I believe she has mentioned a number of times being, or at least being influenced by, Judaism, Buddhism, native spirituality and likely more. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2015 13:55:41 +0000 (UTC) From: Bob Muller Subject: Joni Covers 229 - Looking and longing on the sly And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round...happy equinox to everyone, I for one am glad to shoo away the blistering summer temperatures and say hello to cool breezes, firpits and such. Of course, one thing remains constant from season to season - peoples be crazy about singing Joni songs! So, here we go with another FRESH set of Joni covers, offering up the usual smorgasbord you've come to expect. Several oldies from vinyl, including the Peter Barrymore which was hard to get. Diahann Carroll ("Julia" for us boomers) performed BSN in her NYC cabaret show. It's unreleased and only available here (Thanks Paul!). A couple of nice instrumentals, and the only "River" that kicks off with a BYT lick, which actually works pretty brilliantly. https://www.yousendit.com/download/bXBaSmJ4bEFvQUlaQ2NUQw 1.
