It is simplistic and unrefined - almost like something a teenager just beginning with oil paints would put to canvas. Oil gobs kind of spackled on and more than a little impressionistic. I had the feeling that she painted it a long time ago. What it lacks a little in technique, however, is more than made up for in creative whimsy and style . I was delighted to discover it tucked away by itself near the front desk. It is small - maybe 8 x 10 at most. It reminded me a little of iconic Santeria art. Think that I later did read something that she said about the painting. I'll have to check for it again. Kakki >It was Jimi high up on a cloud with a dark >blue sky background.

I've also done the piano music for "For Free", available from the guitar area as well. At some point I hope to do more of Joni's great piano tracks...

Just wanted to say that the terms "open" tuning and "modal" tuning can be used to imply different types of tunings, but the terms are quite often used as if they meant the same thing. I think the term "open tuning" came from the idea of tuning the guitar to "open chords". An open chord is any chord (played in standard tuning) where you fret notes only at the first few frets and where you also use some open strings. An example of an open chord (standard tuning) is E major: 022100. If you tune the strings to produce the notes of this open E chord you end up in "Open E tuning". An open tuning, by this definition, means that you get a straight-forward chord (usually major or minor) when you strum the 6 open strings. The term "modal" tuning tends to be used when the 6 open strings don't give you a "simple chord", but there is a certain harmonic flavour or "mode" suggested. The chord and the key of the tuning are more ambiguous here, which gives interesting musical options. Joni has played in both types - tunings such as CGCEGC (C75435), EBEG#BE (E75435, "open E"), DGDGBD (D57543, "open G") are common "open tunings", and others like Hejira - CGDFGC (C77325) or Magdalene laundries - BF#BEAE (B75557) could be called "modal" with their more ambiguous and complex sound.

Have you heard the boot where Morrison sits in with Hendrix Live and he is shitfaced drun? It is one of the worst things I have ever heard and you can almost taste Jimi's pain during the whole thing, but the band kept on for awhile.
