["Lori Fye" Subject: Crosby, Guinnevere, and Joni mia>>I saw Crosby perform "Guinnevere" a couple of years ago, and I tell ya, that man's voice just keeps getting better with age!<< i agree, i too have seen him peform this song as a stand alone & it was simpley stunning... I saw Crosby and Nash do it together as part of a CSN concert at Jones Beach some years back. It was amazing...the placecwas so quiet, you could hear the water lapping at the edge of the stage during the pauses between lyrics...a truly one-of-a-kind experience. And I've seen/hard Crosby in his latest shows (with his son & new band CPR) and his voice HAS gotten stronger and better than ever.

I held back on having single rooms available because SO many people said they were going to come to this year's Fest, and I wanted to make sure everyone had a bed. At this point, there are only a few months left to go for Jonifest and I still need 25 people to meet the MINIMUM requirement for the contract I signed. I have to tell you, I am getting EXTREMELY nervous at the thought of being out over $7500 of my own money. If you are sitting on the fence or procrastinating in any way, I urge you to please sign up as soon as possible. If all the wonderful testimonials that have shown up on this list in the past several days aren't enough to get you motivated, go to: www.jonifest.com and check out the past Jonifests. It is an AWESOME time!!!!!

I'm not an computer expert, but if your computer has a CD burner, they usually come with software-which you need to tell your burner what to do. Look through your programs-Adaptec Easy CD is a common one. If you find it, experiment and see if you can get it working. If you don't have software, you can probably find something on the net somewhere. You can try http://download.com.com/2001-20-0.html?legacy=cnet They have freeware and shareware by the hundreds, neatly catagorized. > > About me...

I thought it might be a good time to post this, not only for those who haven't read it yet, but for those of us who have seen it but just want to get even MORE in the mood!! : ) Sing along, if you wish ... "We Had A Fest" (to the tune of "I Had A King") by Bob Muller We had a fest at the Full Moon near Bethel, Playing & singing & channeling Ethel just swell And randomly raising hell The food was sublime, don't you know And the time there was oh so great! The rooms were the best, but for most of the fest We stayed up way too late And now it's time to plan again, We gotta go, no matter when So make your plans and make them soon For the Full Moon, for the Full Moon We'll have a fest in the Catskills near Woodstock Going to workshops and listening to good rock & roll And jamming to folk & soul If nature you like, you can go for a hike Just please don't feed the bears! Or swim in the pool, if you want to 'be cool' Or relax, with no cares... And we'll go back there every year To feast and sing and share good cheer The fests are great, They really rate, Don't hesitate!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://lrfye.lunarpages.com/rocknrollin.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2003 22:45:03 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Transcription error in Joni tune Thanks to several kind folks on this Joni fan site, I was able to acquire certain sheet music to some Joni tunes including JOTMAS/Ludwig's Tune. I brought it with me to my recent piano lesson and asked Colleen, my teacher, for advice on playing it (wishful thinking... hah!) We found that a D in the left hand is mistakenly not marked as a sharp (twice)- we eventually figured out where the error was- in the piano solo after "...loving your touch") so she penciled it in. It's obvious that there is a mistake in the transcription 'cause at the same time that the left hand D is played, the right hand is playing a D sharp. She kept playing that part and we both knew that something was wrong (it just didn't sound right.) At first, she thought she was playing it wrong since she's never played it before and was reading it for the first time. But I heard it too and, since I know the song so well, I said "it sounds like your right hand is good but there's something wrong in the left." Am I observant or what?! I thought it might be of interest to others who might want to learn this song. Has anyone else noticed this error?

And in addition, there are some serious errors in the transcription of Let the Wind Carry Me, and though I don't have access to my sheet music right now, I recall an error in the Chord figures for guitar on the TI music of Sex Kills.
