Towards the end of today4s ATWT episode, when young love has it4s first share of love-trouble, a beautiful version of CLOUDS was being played to back up the disillusion. I don4t know who the (female) singer was, but she did a good one. A few weeks ago i was staying with a friend in Amsterdam for a few days. Having to sleep on his not too comfortable couch, i was still awake at about 2 am when the upstairs neighbour decided to play BLUE quite loud. It was so good. The couch was suddenly not so bad at all, i must have fallen asleep halfway Blue. Ok folks...

It's years since I lived in Winter. Now of a day, wrapped in layers of black and wool, I stravaig through thick blankets of fallen leaves crunching. The odd crow from tree to tree evoking ... Hejira. That winter album. Whether I'm walking for walking's sake, waiting for a train, or just in absence of music, I find myself running music through my head. Today was the winter of our Miss Discontent. Songs of joy and peace rang round winter chimneys waving. Apply the fire with kindling now, coz Winter is closing in.

It's good to hear from you. It's been a while. Where are you now? Speaking of winter, we had this little discussion about winter closing in on Sue MacNamara's new "Wanderer" mailing list. Sue had posted the lyrics to Urge For Going, another winter Joni song. I hadn't read it's poetry in so long and well, it really is a beautiful song. Urge For Going by Joni Mitchell I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down When the sun turns traitor cold and all the trees are shivering in a naked row I get the urge for going But I never seem to go I get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in I had me a man in summertime He had summer-colored skin And not another girl in town My darling's heart could win But when the leaves fell on the ground Bully winds came around, pushed them face down in the snow He got the urge for going And I had to let him go He got the urge for going When the meadow grass was turning brown Summertime was falling down and winter was closing in Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout And all that stays is dying and all that lives is camping out See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow They got the urge for going And they got the wings so they can go They get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 19:38:53 EST From: AsharaJM@aol.com Subject: Re: ANNOUNCING.........JONFEST 2002!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking about this today, Joni's 'winter' songs. She has them for all seasons, UFG is probably the most obvious, with River not far behind. Why do people categorize River as a Christmas song? Are they just not listening to it? Anyway, I thought about Winter Lady too...and Gift Of The Magi, another unrecorded "winter" song...

Hi, all, I was walking to my mailbox about 1/2 mile from my apartment, and was *softly* but audibly singing Passion Play from NRH (anyone who ever heard me sing would applaud the "softly" part -- I do it to avoid scaring animals and small children, and probably plants) when I got to the lines "I am up a sycamore/looking through the leaves/A sinner of some position" just as I passed a man of the cloth. Perfect timing. He probably thought, "Oh great, another sinner singing off key -- I gotta get him for my choir", but apparently he thought the better of it, and just gave me a look. I went into my favorite bookstore, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place For Books, (that's really the name -- other San Franciscans can verify), and went as usual over to the music section. I saw a series of little books -- called Rough Guides -- one of which was called something like "The 100 CDs You Must Have". I had to look to see which Joni album was in it, and ta-da! HoSL! I know there are several jmdlers who particularly like that album (Jim L'H, if I'm not mistaken) -- I do -- but I've never seen it in any "Top 100" kind of list (more often, one sees Blue, C&S or Hejira), so I was pleasantly surprised. (I neglected to check the date on the book or the series of Rough Guides, so this may be old news.) btw, I bought a book in spite of being broke -- it bothered me that I no longer remembered augmented, diminished and suspended chords -- and I *used* to know these things, I used to be able to wing it with/from a fake book -- so I bought a book about basic chord structure (for piano). I miss playing, and in spite of my shaking hands, I'm thinking of trying again. Hell, if Joni can play with Post-Polio, I can play with neuropathy. I hope. :-) warmly, walt ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 19:11:49 -0800 (PST) From: Mags N Brei Subject: Re: thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! - --- Brian Gross wrote: > I want to say thank you to all of my very special friends here on the > list. > This was the absolutely BEST birthday EVER!!!!!!!!! > Mags REALLY REALLY REALLY loves me!!! no s*** Sherlock !!! ;-))) it was an absolute pleasure to treat you as well as you deserve to be treated honey boi.

Kind of like a "good faith" deposit.

The most important questions at the moment are all the ones about accomodations, incuding type of bed, roommate preference, etc. I will be trying to juggle everyone's requests as they come in, and the rooms are limited as far as few private baths, etc. Also, if you choose to pay by Paypal, please remember to add the 5% fee each time you send in a payment. The remainder of the payments can be sent in at any time. If anyone would like to pre-pay more than the required deposit, that would be great. As soon as I receive enough deposits to meet the minimum I need to put down, I can send the money to Full Moon, thus locking in the date. Thanks for all your patience with all the neccessary nit-picky stuff that is is required this year, including the release form, etc. You have no idea the hoops I had to go through to set this up this year, including setting up the LLC. I have been working on this Fest since the week everyone left here last Labor Day. So...I know these forms are one huge pain-the-ass, but a definite necessity. I hope everyone is as excited about this as I am. I "know" Wally is!! LOL!!!
