Betsy was Peter's wife, and it certainly seems that she & Joni had a great releationship. As for Mary, besides the biblical Mary of Passion Play, one of Joni's childhood friends was Mary Waddington, aka Cherokee Louise, probably also "Louise in her push-up brassiere". Don't know the other Mary references off the top of my noggin but maybe that info will put you on the right track.

(fest content) Ashara, Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm still feeling bad about bailin' on you the week before Jonifest #I. Remember we were gonna bring a big 'ol RV and park in your yard? That would have solved all the skeeter problems! Anyway, my son was only 15 then and our "babysitting" plans fell through. He's 20 now - - WOW!....it's hard to believe that five years have passed and there have been FIVE Jonifests and I ain't been ta' none of em'! This must be remedied! Every year, I have faithfully read each and every Jonifest lister's experiences, drooled over the pictures (especially the pictures of the food), and wanted so badly to be there. Julie Z's fest in march 98' was my first experience with people who "got" Joni, and more importantly, it was the first time I got to see Pittsburgh, PA AND go with no sleep without caring! Seriously, it was the first time I met Kakki, Patrick, and Marion, et al. Then there was Sherelle (who blew me away with her voice, among other things.) Oh! and it was the first time I saw Brian's twinkly eyes and smile :-> Suze was so fun, Marion was amazing - everyone wuz!!!! I didn't get to talk to too many folks coz' I got lost and ended up in West Virginia, but that's another story. Oh drat! I just yelled to my husband saying, "Hey Rick, ya' wanna go to Jonifest this year?" He walked in and just said, "Yeah." So...let's see - - we got till thursday to pay the deposit, right? PayPal it is - and no excuses this time from me. Bev.....Joni! Joni! Joni! (spoken like Bluto's - - Toga! Toga! Toga! from "Animal House")...oh, and don't worry, we won't wear Togas...hmmm,...but then again...... > Welcome back Bev Wolfe and Barbara Hirahara!!

I just wanted to share with all of you some my recent work as Music Producer for Lousisana Jukebox. Please go to www.louisianajukebox.com and click on webcast. Check out Beth Patterson's new band Kalafka as well as Anders Osborne and Monk Boudreaux and a lady that we played with at Tips the other night Judith Owen (married to Harry Shearer from Spinal Tap). Let me know what you think of the new format of the show now that we are post produced and enjoy the music. Also next week check out Alexandra Scott (especially you hetrosexual men) and Woodenhead for all you progressive rock/jazz fans.

Actually, what I said about the deposits is this: <> So.......actual time lines are: May 17th- I have only received 9 deposits since I announced the above. To all of you that love Jonifest and want to see it continue, please don't make me pull teeth any longer. June 15th- All money and forms due. The reality is, I will take deposits, forms, money, scholarship money, etc. after these dates. Please don't think if you don't sign up for Jonifest before these dates that you can't come. If I can accommodate you, even up to the week before, I will be so happy to do so. HOWEVER, if it is at ALL possible to adhere to these dates, it would be *greatly* appreciated so I don't have to go running after people. For me, that is THE worse part of organizing this Fest- having to go after money, forms, etc. Please, everyone, remember this is *your* Fest. Yes, I am the one putting my ass on the line, and doing the organizational part, but the Fest belongs to the JMDL. I know there are people that keep saying they are planning to go this year, but haven't sent the deposit in, and haven't made the commitment. It's less than 3 months away.

Krall was born in Nanaimo, a town on Vancouver Island, just outside of Victoria. Here's a bit from the CBC story: Live in Paris, Krall's first concert album, recently won Vocal Jazz Album of the Year at the Junos and was named Best Jazz Vocal Album at this year's Grammy Awards. Krall, 38, began studying music at the age of four. Raised on jazz standards, a 19-year-old Krall was playing piano at a local restaurant, when she was discovered by famed bassist Ray Brown. She released her first album Stepping Out in 1993 and her popularity grew steadily. It was Krall's 1998 album When I Look in Your Eyes that made her an international bestseller. She currenltly lives in New York City and plans to marry British pop singer Elvis Costello this summer. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.

Who would like to be the next recipient? Perma-Vine rules are below. I'm on the digest version of the list, so for a faster response, please email me directly. Thanks, Fae PERMA-VINE RULES: 1) When you receive your Perma-Vine disc you must MAKE COPIES FOR YOURSELF and re-post an offer on JMDL. You will forward the ORIGINAL DISC onto the next recipient (you may NOT keep the original Perma-Vine disc). This method ensures that all participants can get a clean, glitch-free copy of this show directly off the original disc. 2) You must re-post your offer of this vine only to JMDL. If, after two postings within 48 hours, there is no response, you may then, and only then, post the Perma-Vine offer to another group, but you MUST post an announcement to JMDL indicating which group you have transferred this Perma-Vine to. 3) By requesting these Perma-Vine discs, you have agreed to make this show available to those who are unable to burn copies for themselves (and, thus, cannot participate directly in this Perma-Vine). You agree to post an offer(s) on JMDL for at least one burnerless individual as soon as you have forwarded the original Perma-Vine disc onto the next recipient. You may B+P or trade this to as many as you like AFTER you have forwarded the Perma-Vine discs onto the next recipient. 4) You further agree to keep the Perma-Vine disc in your possession no longer than 72 hours before re-offering. 5) Lastly, you agree to ENJOY this music immensely! Here is the track information: 1) That Song About the Midway Joni 2) The Gallery Joni 3) Rainy Day Man James 4) Steamroller Blues James 5) The Priest Joni 6) Carey Joni 7) Carolina in My Mind James 8) California Joni + James 9) For Free Joni + James 10) The Circle Game Joni + James 11) You Can Close Your Eyes Joni + James 12) Hunter Joni 13) River Joni 14) My Old Man Joni 15) A Case of You Joni 16) Carey (unedited intro) Joni ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 22:18:48 -0400 From: Deb Messling Subject: Re: Chuck Mitchell in Ann Arbor, MI Does anybody know if Chuck Mitchell ever tours nationally?
