I perceived a wanna-be-punkish self-indulgence in some of the covers. Don't know if they were deliberately making fun of her - any attempts at parody were certainly dismal if they were. Maybe we should not give them that much credit! Kakki NP: Joni - Number One ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jul 1999 00:30:47 -0400 From: "Eric G.

Have a nice weekend, Eric ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jul 1999 00:33:57 EDT From: MDESTE1@aol.com Subject: Re: Covers of Joni Songs. Asking howard the brit for permission. OK lets ask him. HOWARD, CAN I SEND YOUR VERSION OF COLD BLUE STEEL TO CATGIRL ? PLEASE RESPOND. marcel deste. The poor woman is DYING to hear your version of Jonis tune. However its your work and I wont send it unless you say I can out of respect for you as an artist. And Howard what is your email address again. warm regards. marcel deste.. ps. If Howard Oks the sending I will need Catgirls adress. From the recent Post I am led to believe that Catgirl and her husband are accomplished musicians. AND they do Joni covers. Is it not time for another Joni tribute tape ???? Can one be created at Asharas jonifest ? Will Michael Paz do his inimityable version of Amelia ? Is there enough reverb in the world to make Paz's vocal tracks spellbinding ? Ive had way too much cabernet. The California curse. The wine is too good. Howard please respond.
