I begged her and begged her. I said, Joni, Please don't do an upside down characature of me on the cover art for BSN, puhlease!. But nooooooooo! She did it anyway! Needless to say, I told her I would not make my Killer Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Brownies for her again. She laughed in my face...

Actually, there is a piano bar called Angelo's down the street from me, and I know the owner and Norma, the pianist/singer. They love me! ;-) (I've known them forever) It it a blast to go there! That could actually be a fun idea. However, my friend Michael at the 1100 club still has his doors open for the Midwest-Jonifest, and the live music is still sheduled. Kerry and I would still like this to happen, even if it's just for seven, so please let us know if you want to be there! Diane? Jody? Mary? All you Chicago folk-get your butts up here!

It's to her credit imo that she didn't take the common road of BSN, but rather picked a song which allowed her to emote much more... I'd love to hear her do some more Joni...and you're right, that Dianne Reeves BSN is wonderful!

I do observe that neither Jerry, Master Librarian, and Bob, Covers Producer, told us where idiots like me could find Streisand singing Mitchell. So there you have it.

I thought of that, too! I now notice something else - if you look under his nose to the right where it looks smudged, I swear if you look sideways, you can see a tiny figure that looks like Joni as an angel. It's Joni with hair back but with bangs and a big smile with like wings for arms and one wing extending from her back. I am not kidding!

LOL! Additionally, I've got a live version of Barbra doing that song ...unfortunately the quality is not such that I included it on a covers CD, seeing as we had her studio version. So which song in Babs' repoirtoire would you like to hear Joni do? For my money, I'd like to hear her do "On a Clear Day", ciggy in hand of course! ;~) Bob NP: Jimi, "Crosstown Traffic" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 02:25:37 +0100 From: "Chris Marshall" Subject: RE: Jaco Pastorius/ Pat Matheny Recommended Listening? I'm a little late into this discussion, but... For Jaco, look out for an album called "Jazz Street" on which he appears along with Brian Melvin and a couple of other musicians I forget right now. Good stuff, that I found purely by chance in a second hand vinyl bin somewhere... It is available on CD, as I discovered when I subsequently looked.
