They said that he was in the recording studio and had a little extra air time so he started singing, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas. . . " They played parts of the song . . . it was beautiful the way he sang it. . . emotional and a little on the sad side . . . Just beautiful! Everyone in the studio loved it. . . from there he decided that he's going to do a Christmas album. They said it won't come out until early spring, I think they said, or summer. Did anyone else happen to hear the song? Maybe he can have Joni join him for a song or two. Love to you beautiful people.

Also being honored are the late pioneering disc jockey Alan Freed and producer-engineer Tom Dowd, who will both receive the coveted Trustees Award. The winners will be officially acknowledged during a Grammy-week ceremony held in conjunction with the 44th annual Grammy Awards ceremony on February 27. The lifetime-achievement award honors an artist's lifelong contribution to the recording medium, while the Trustees Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the recording industry in a non-performing capacity. Michael Green, president and CEO of the Recording Academy, said of those being recognized, "The recipients of these awards are in a rarified league all their own. They are a prestigious group of diverse and influential creators who have given us some of the most distinctive and seminal recordings of the last century. Their outstanding achievements have left a timeless legacy that has changed the world socially and has given voice to our cultural condition. Their work exemplifies the highest creative and technical standards by which we all measure our own personal and professional contributions." - -- Sue Falco, New York merry christmas to all, Shane ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2001 01:53:06 +0800 From: "Rachael DeRoest" Subject: "The '70s" movie Does anyone know what Joni song was played during this "The '70s" mini Series they had on NBC a few years back? A friend of mine saw it this past weekend and she said they played a really pretty Joni song that she wanted to get a copy of but she couldn't remember any lyrics to it and i have never seen the movie and it is not on the soundtrack. Anyone remember this?

" > > They played parts of the song . . . it was beautiful the way he sang it. . . > emotional and a little on the sad side . . . Just beautiful! The original lyrics of this song as sung by Judy Garland in 'Meet Me in St. Louis' are on the sad side: Once again as in olden days Happy golden days Of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Will be near to us Once more Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Until then we'll have to muddle through Somehow So have yourself A merry little Christmas now Travis & I were supposed be in Omaha this Christmas. My family was going to reunite for our first Christmas together in many years. Unfortunately my sister's employer would not give her the time off. She's an RN in a hospital where staffing is relying a lot on people hired as temps these days. Sandy has worked there for more than 15 years and apparently they didn't feel they could let her take a week off. To tell the truth, I really wasn't looking forward to traveling at this point in time and I'm glad we're not going through that ordeal. But I do feel sad that my family may not be able to be together for Christmas again while my parents are still with us. My mother's father emigrated to this country from Nuremberg Germany when he was 17. His story is a classic American Dream tale. He had nothing when he came here, settled in Keokuk, Iowa, married, had 8 children, lost his first wife, remarried a widow with 2 boys of her own and then fathered 2 more daughters. One of his second wife's sons died of a burst appendix when he was a kid and so the total count of siblings in my mother's family came to 11 who lived to adulthood. Grandpa worked hard and was one of the most generous, decent & intelligent human beings I have had the privilege to know, much less be related to. He was a vice president of the paper box company he worked for when he retired. He was also a mechanical genius who designed much of the machinery the company used in production. During my childhood, Grandma & Grandpa Thiem lived in a beautiful ranch style house that Grandpa had a hand in designing and that Grandma furnished & decorated with impeccable taste. Each Christmas Eve they would have a wonderful family party. All of my mom's family who still lived in Keokuk attended and often relatives from out of town would be there as well. The Thiems are scattered all over the country from Arizona to Virginia & Georgia but I think they all managed to get back for Christmas at one time or another. My grandmother was a wonderful baker & cook and there were food & holiday goodies of every sort, all made by Grandma. The adults had Grandpa's champagne punch and the whole evening was very special & very festive. At some point we would all go to the basement where there was a small Christmas Tree with acres of presents under it. There was one exchange gift and a gift for every single daughter, son, grandchild & great-grandchild from Grandma & Grandpa. Each gift was always something unique & special. My grandmother did the shopping & she had a knack for choosing just the right thing. Grandpa would pick up each package & call out the person's name. Waiting for Grandpa to call out your name was one of the highpoints of the holiday and cause for much excitement & anticipation for the kids in the Thiem family. The twinkle in his eye & the joy he put into this are something I will remember all of my life. His family was everything to him & we all loved him & Grandma with our whole hearts. Christmas Eve always brings memories of these family gatherings and colors the day & night before Christmas with a special glow for me. To all of you celebrating Christmas tonight & tomorrow, I wish you joy and hope & happiness. Cherish the time you spend with your families. Treasure all the good memories of past Christmases and if this isn't the best of times for you, never lose sight of your hope. Remember, Love's the greatest Beauty. It will prevail, always. Merry Christmas Love & Peace, Mark ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2001 13:23:12 -0800 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: A Merry Little Christmas > "Have yourself a merry > > little Christmas. . . " This is also my favorite Christmas song and coincidently the lyrics were running through my head all this morning. They seem apropos for this year - a little sad but also full of love and hope. Thanks Mark for posting them all and for the beautiful family memories. Last night our ever gracious and fun Coyote Rick and Brad put on a stupendous Christmas dinner and party for a few friends including the Dulsons, Clark and myself. It was absolutely stunning and there must have been 50 Christmas trees gorgeously decorated around the house! I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have come to know here. Thanks to everyone for the holidays wishes and good cheer all the year through. May all our seasons be bright and much love and happiness to you all in the New Year.

I will get right to the point. There is a t.v. commercial on, that uses Ms. Mitchells "River" in the ad. I think it is for Circuit City, for people to send video messages, to the troops in Afghanistan. Of course they don't use the Joni version. My question is: Whose version DO they use? I think it is very well done, and somewhat haunting. Thanks for any and all help, and Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Goodnight!

It's Robert Downey Jr. in the recording first heard on the FOX TV show Ally McBeal and then released last year on that show's Christmas album. OK, this one also goes on the FAQ I have volunteered myself for developing.
