Northeastern JMDL community: Gregg Cagno is performing at the Mine Street Coffeehouse this Saturday night at 8:00PM in New Brunswick, NJ (home of Rutgers). Gregg tells me he's looking forward to doing Mine Street, as it was one of his first folk gigs back in college. Anyone want to join me? Patrick, Kay, Nikki, Claudia, Brian, Bob S., anyone else? The New Brunswick train station is just walking distance away form the venue. Alison would come into Jersey this way, I think it's the path train. Lemme know ~rose in NJ please pardon the NJC, I wanted the Joni only's to be notified ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 01:21:36 +1000 From: "P.

I will definitely check out the book by Nicolas Slonimsky. It has been many a year since I took music theory, but I loved it with all of my heart. Hearing conversation like this is like being served a fine, satisfying dinner. I encourage anyone who loves Joni to check out a basic music theory course. It will enrich your love of Joni's music all the more. Maybe we can have some basics right here on the list, possibly starting by explaining modal and non-modal music. Any volunteers? My music theory is a bit rusty, but I am about to remedy that! Thanks again Fred and also Anne. Sorry, that's as far as I've read on posts so thank you to those who posts I am about to read as well.
