And, I agree that Blue is not as complex as For The Roses; but imo, Blue is much more introspective and personal. FTR more adventuresome. And I love "Ludwig's Tune"; probably my second favorite Joni song after "Down To You". lastly, i miss laura more than any other dead artist. her story is so sad because she was filled with such peace, joy, beauty and just in general good vibes. Once again, I agree; please see my previous post on Laura.

I loved the version of Banquet especially and WTRF with Landau was amazing as well. I was in a period where I liked to rock as well. I remember she had a false start on a tune and I could swear that it was Court and Spark, but in retrospect it might have been "Help Me or "Free Man" (definitely something from Court and Spark). It was one of her more popular numbers cause everyone was singing along and in the middle of the first verse she had a brain fart and forgot where she was or something. Everyone died laughing as she did and she started it again and nailed it. I remember thinking that it made her more human and down to earth by that faux pax. Instead of some larger than life object of worship. Best Paz >Bob wrote: > > I didn't see her on this tour...she pretty much skipped the Southeast.

I would have to recommend "Beat the Retreat" (1994), which I believe is the album he did after his divorce from his wife, Linda. I could be wrong. They may have actually done one together during the demise of the relationship, but I was unable to locate it amidst my collection, which is no surprise, since it is completely disorganized.

This is from a Hebrew glossary (http://www.derech.org/glossary.html): Cohen or cohenim * Priest or priests Cohen HaGadol * The High Priest But I also found this "for he was both king and priest, in which he was an eminent type of Christ; and his being a king is no objection to his being a priest, since it was usual for kings to be priests; and though the Hebrew word "Cohen" sometimes signifies a prince, it cannot be so understood here, not only because the word is rendered "priest" by the Septuagint, and by the apostle, but because he is called the priest of God" Rick ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 03:58:13 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: applications accepted now my apologies to joni-onlies for this intrusion but i want this short message to reach all of you jmdlers. since the last time the JMDL BIRTHDAY FAIRY visited the list, its birthday database has become dated and VERY incomplete. if you wish to be on the birthday greeting list, please reply privately to me (i have ways to contact the BDF...). just write your name and birthday (only month and day). if you want to say hello and add something nice, you may do so too, of course. the birthday fairy WILL NOT use its excellent gift of clairvoyance to guess your birthdays, so give the poor thing a break and write. end of message. love to you all, wally ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2003 #125 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
