As you are being your usual, sympathetic self Paul, let me explain. You need not have read the entire post to comment on it, but what part of "discussion of historical facts" do you not understand? He was not preaching, not educating about religion, but of history. Correcting facts. Something you do all the time on this list. And the fact that he IS an ordained priest of the Catholic Church means he is an authority on the subject whose opinions on a discussed topic are more than educated.

Marian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 09:26:22 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Club 47 <> No, it hasn't been officially treed, Ken. (The trees are just the wee tip o' the iceberg of what's out there). The songs you're refencing are Joni's Club 47 appearance of January 8-10, 1968. (This info taken off of an old flyer recently auctioned on E-Bay). Club 47 was a coffeehouse in Cambridge, MA, so this bootleg is most commonly known as "By The Banks of The River Charles". I think this is a great collection, whether this is one performance or a combination of several, I do not know. But here is the songlisting on the CD that I have: 1. Cactus Tree 2. Night In The City 3. The Gift of the Magi 4. I Had a King 5. Morning Morgantown 6. Ballerina Valerie 7. Song to a Seagull 8. Both Sides Now 9. Conversation 10. Come to the Sunshine 11. Chelsea Morning 12. The Pirates of Penance 13. The Way It Is 14. The Dawntreader It's only one of two collections (that I'm aware of) to feature "Magi", and also has some rare performances of Pirates and Dawntreader. And until the last video tree, it was the only performance I had of "The Way It Is" which she wrote for the CBC show of the same name. If you'd like a copy of the CD for yourself, tough! :~)I'm kidding, as always, I'm glad to share.

That includes the verbal variety, too. Let's all try not to be too hard on each other or ourselves during this extremely difficult time for all humanity. If there's something we can do to help the physical and psychological casualties of this disaster (we perhaps among them), let's follow the battle cry of a fallen hero, "Let's roll." For ourselves in this community, let's follow a call somewhat less daunting but no less self affirming and supportive: "Let's Rock and Roll."

I contacted her directly to get it (artists generally respond quickly when you ask how to buy their CD!) and we've been having a nice conversation. An excerpt of it is below: Lorraine: "Joni has always been one of my favorites as well....I saw her almost 20 years ago and it was such a treat. In my regular jazz performing I do a couple of Joni tunes and have even done a couple of evenings with vocals, acoustic guitar, and soprano sax, and the whole evening is nothing but her tunes. It's amazing how packed the club always is- people really respond, as I'm guessing that not that many singers do her material these days. I do have a version of "A Case of You" that I recorded this last winter in a friend's studio, and it's arranged more like the orchestrated version on her latest album. I thought it would be interesting to see how it sounded that way, instead of the way I normally do it. If you're interested I'd be happy to make a copy and send it to you." Me again: Of course I started drooling immediately and she is sending me this version of Case of You. I have also purchased the CD with "Blue Motel Room" on it. It's ironic as I had just commented at the Fest that more people should be doing this great ballad! There is even an excerpt available for you to listen to: http://www.gervaismusic.com/pages/discog.html Just click on the "Blue Motel" link. Lorraine also tells me that she tours the west coast (she's based in Nevada City) and does 2 types of shows, R&B and jazz. She says she always does Joni in her jazz shows, and as she says above, sometimes she does ENTIRE gigs of just Joni! I told her to keep me informed so I can pass it along, maybe some of you on the west coast would be interested in a meet & greet coupled with a Joni tribute show!

My first concert was skipping my high school graduation ceremony to see Crosby Stills and Nash at Madison Square Garden. They were touring and singing a lot from the Crosby/Nash release "to the last whale" or something like that. 2. Other great concerts include too many to remember, (or not that many at all and just bad memory), Dead shows in the NY/SUNY area: Binghamton, New Paltz, etc. 3. Indie shows like David Bromberg, Arlo Guthrie and others. These remain among the best shows I've ever attended. 4. Jackson Browne each and every time he tours becuz I have had a crush on him since I was 14 and still hope that every time the phone rings...... 5. Sadly, only 3 Joni's. Island Music: Top singles popping off the top of my head right now 1. Joni's Blonde in the Bleachers 2. Dylan's If You See Her Say Hello 3. Jackson's Sky Blue and Black 4. Roseanne Cash My Baby Thinks He's A Train 5. James Taylor: Something in the Way She Moves 6. Springsteen: Brillant Disguise 7. Springsteen: Thunder Road 8. Springsteen: Santa Claus Is Coming To Worn 9. Joni's Crazy Cries of Love 10. Joni's Papricka Plains After dinner is over, it may be different. Dryer's: mine continues to work thus it is wonderfully designed. Now if only it could sort, fold and put away.

Folk art as defined by the NEA are those things that are learned as part of the cultural life of a community whose members share a common ethnic heritage, language, religion, occupation, or geographic region. These traditions are shaped by the aesthetics and values of a shared culture and are passed from generation to generation, most often within family and community through observation, conversation, and practice. I see most of this definition as pushing the edges when it comes to family and community....but Joni has it all in there...the thread which ravels us all together And for my special friends who have talked with me by phone...and you know who you are....thanks a LOT!
