What a beautiful & powerful letter. Thank you for posting this. >>My daughter, an 18 year-old freshman at a jesuit university, wrote me the following letter a few days ago: "Hi Pop, I am really excited to write you and tell you about a group that I am getting involved in. Have you ever heard of the School of the Americas. Well, it is a school in Georgia that takes lots of people from Mexico and South America and basically trains them in terrorism. Then these people return to their countries and train their military, etc., all of the horrible tactics that they learned in the U.S. In return these people terrorize and oppress their own people. How horrible! Every year people from all over the country go to Georgia to protest outside of the school, and some even "cross the line" that protesters are forbidden by law to cross. While in Georgia people are also educated about other injustices that are occurring around the world, such as sweat shops, etc... I watched a movie on the School of Americas and what the monsters they have produced have done to their countries. I watched people being murdered and terrorized. I saw the school where they were trained. And I saw millions of peaceful protesters stand up and "fight" for what they felt was a worthy cause. I saw these peaceful Americans "cross the line" and I saw them arrested. It made me think of you and your protest against the Vietnam War. At that moment I have never been so proud to be your daughter. I felt a power and security. And at that moment I realized how many of your positive characteristics I have. Daddy we are not exactly alike, but we are driven by the same passions, the same drive for justice. And I can honestly say that I understand you much better than I ever have before. Pop, I admire you. Not just because you protested once long ago, but because for the last 18 years I have watched you stand up for what you thought was right. I don't think that I have ever witnessed you pass up the opportunity, to correct what you saw as unfit. But I have also witnessed a very kind and forgiving individual as well. It seems like whenever I got my self into the worst trouble you showed me the most mercy and understanding. I believe that I am such a strong individual because I have had such a strong role model. I also understand that being so outspoken (as we both are) is not always appropriate, so my goal is to do my best to make positive changes in this world with my strong will. Sometimes I wonder if I would have the strength to do some of the things I have or want to do, without you. So, Thanks Pop. You are truly my hero. Oh, I leave for Georgia November 16, wish me luck.

Happy Birthday to a dear man - John Van Tiel, ENJOY and may your day be as sweet as you! First concerts ... hmmm ...well I'm pretty sure well it's between two concerts, they were very close together. I bought tickets for Leon Russell back in I believe 1972 oh but he cancelled. But on the other hand Joni Mitchell came to the Arie Crown January of 1972 and ... ahh yes of course she was my first! But I'm sure I mentioned that before and probably will again, cause it was a shining moment in my life! Jackson Browne opened for her highness. I was of course only 7 years old (fingers very crossed)okay I was 14. I was in the 8th row pretty dead center ... I remember it like it was yesterday ... She opened with "This Flight Tonight" and closed the show with the likes of Steve Goodman, Bob Gibson and a host of other Chicago folk stars on stage all singing "Circle Game." I remember that she did "For Free" and of course much of the "Blue" album, as it had been released the summer before - 71. She wore purple crushed velvet pants and a multi-colored wrapping jacket. I guess I will grow up to be one of those old ladies that tells the same stories over and over and ...

I met lots of Red Cross volunteers & am extremely impressed with the organization. Here is some of what I learned. They help by providing food & shelter & counseling services in cases like the September 11 tragedy. As of Friday, they had served 1,400,000 meals since September 11 but that is probably lots more by the time you read this. The Red Cross is 97% volunteers. They are still serving people affected by the Oklahoma City disaster. My favorite online store, CDBABY.com has offered musicians the oppportunity to donate 100% of our CD sales to the Red Cross. So that is what I am doing. We are all looking for ways to help. This is the way I have chosen to help: time, blood, & CD sales via CDBABY. So if you are thinking of donating to the Red Cross, consider this way & get some music in return. If you are thinking of holiday presents, consider this as an option. I plan to donate these sales to the Red Cross through the holiday season. Lots of folks have told me that this CD has healing vibes in it. The songs for me were healing to write, & the making of the CD for me was a magical process thanks to all the talented musicians who contributed & especially because of my wonderful co-producer & engineer Jack Lee (we have already started working on a second CD). I am grateful to all who have been so kind to give me such postive feedback & reviews. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 22:13:17 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Uncle John !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - --- Brian Gross wrote: > Happy Happy Happy Birthday to our Dutch Uncle > The bearer of chocolates and cheeses > The man who would put his finger in a dyke (sp?) to > save a nation! > The Euro arm of the Muller Music Machine > The man who has charmed an angel's voice (and > guitar) > Happy birthday,Johnny van T!

The text part of the Jonifest 2001 webpage is finally up, and let me tell you, I have a new-found respect for Les and Jim and the time it takes to put this kind of thing together. It literally took me about 20-30 hours to put it in the kind of form needed for the page. Granted, someone that knows what they are doing might have taken less time, but nonetheless, it was a daunting task. The pictures are taking a much longer time. For one thing, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of great pictures to wade through. I am trying to pick out the best of the lot to put up on the website. After those decisions are made, I have to scan them all and put them into a searchable database. Bob Murphy is working hard on the captions, and Les is putting them in a size that works for the site, as well as putting them into the webpage. All these things take time, and I know it is hard to be patient. The fact is, some of the impatience is getting out of hand, and some people are expecting way too much of 3 people that have a lot of other things to deal with besides the webpage. I know the Jonifest 2001 webpage will be the very best ever when it is complete. In the meantime, I ask for a LOT of tolerance and patience in letting this get done in the time that works for all 3 of us. We are volunteering our time to do this for you in the little spare time we have. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the page when it is complete. Hugs, Ashara ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 23:26:11 EDT From: Coyote4Joni@aol.com Subject: Re: Red Cross We had a weird thing happen at the place I work. The Corporation that owns my Company (Sempra Energy, which is a Fortune 500 outfit) said they would match employee contributions up to $500K in addition to the $750,000 they gave not in the corporate name, but in the name of our most profitable and growing subsidiary. Well, many of us that work for Southern California Gas Company were outraged that the Corp folks would try to seize some "publicity" for the "favorite child" instead of giving in the name of the corporation as a whole. It was so self-serving. We rebels (and there were a lot of us) hatched a plan. We decided to go (in person) to the Red Cross and make our donations instead of playing this silly game. We realized we might forfeit the company match, so we all agreed to do that ourselves. So, the people that planned to give $35 gave $70 and so on and so forth. A lot of protest emails went to our HR department and my Company quietly asked us for receipts, then sent a check to the Red Cross, matching ours. I was proud of all involved.

The campus of the University of Maryland, College Park, where Joni played in the Joni-Dylan tour, was especially hard hit. Tragically, two people died in a car on the campus. I suppose it's a sign of the times that, when the emergency radio broadcasting system broke in on the NPR program I was listening to as the storms approached, I said to myself Gee, I hope it's just the weather. Tornadoes of this stripe are rare in this area. It seems remarkable that there were not more fatalities. Property damage was extensive, but it could have been much, much worse.

OK, I'm going to cheat, and sneakily toss out two or three other people's CD's to make room for mine, because I have to take more than one Joni, ie. all of them! But if push comes to shove then my list is (in no particular order after Her Royal Joniness): 1. Joni - Hejira 2. Carole King - Rhymes and Reasons 3. James Taylor - Live 4. Indigo Girls - Strange Fire 5. Bonnie Raitt - Road Tested 6. CSNY - Deja Vu 7. Shona Laing - Roadworks 8. Stevie Nicks - Trouble in Shangri-La 9. Melissa Etheridge - Your Little Secret 10. Stephen Stills - Stills Alone That was too hard, and now I feel guilty that I haven't included a whole lot of others, eg. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Mamas and Papas, CPR, Manassas, Doors, Janis - OMG, I forgot Janis. OK, that's it. I'm not going.
