In the picture, John is in character, with long blond hair, clothing that Joni might wear and holding -- apparently playing -- a flattop guitar. The section number and page number are for the Washington (D.C.) edition of The Times that we receive in my area. Different editions appear in different parts of the U.S.A. Abroad, instead of "The New York Times," there is The International Herald Tribune, produced by the same company. At one time, IHT was a joint venture of The Times, The Washington Post and CBS.

And then continuing in a real, alive relationship with HIM with HIS SPIRIT LIFE in you and you in HIM. And JESUS never did anything but confirm the reality of SIN, never indicating that it was just an IDEA. There is no Scripture to back such a notion." Hi Kevin! May the peace of Christ be with you! I whole heartedly believe in and practice a personal relationship with God which I find very easy through Jesus even if I understand the scriptures and religion like a child rather than a scripture scholar or theologian. I love the simplicity of both St. Francis of Assisi who found God in nature and of St. Therese of Lisieux who found God in spiritual childhood. Yes, sin does exist... the term "sin" coming from the archery word meaning to "miss the mark" or the bull's eye as you probably know. It is a fact rather than just an abstract idea that nobody hits the bull's eye every time; everybody sins. And when Jesus' anima was rising, we were given the tool to say to past sin and to our ongoing inability to hit the mark, "so what!" and to undergo death and birth and death and birth and death and birth. Through the Via Dolorosa, we have an uninterupted way of sorrow we can find true liberation through. What I find awesome to remember when considering sin and the bull's eye is what St. Faustina calls God's greatest attribute, "mercy." God gives us more than just one arrow to play with. And speaking of beauty, these arrows come in all different forms and colors (some we might be very surprised to find God put in our quiver)... the Buddhist arrow, the atheist arrow, the Muhammad arrow, the Joe Smith arrow, the Shirley MacLaine arrow, the Mel Gibson arrow, the Marharishi Mahesh Yogi arrow, the Wiccan arrow, the Tim LaHaye arrow, the Billy Graham arrow, the Pope JP2 arrow, etc.... God can use them all, and that to me is truly beautiful and speaks of the magnificence of our Creator!

Way back when I started this collection, I had to scramble to come up with enough material for Volume 1...now the things are spurting out like baby guppies! I'm just glad that the Covers series has turned 50 before I have! And #50 is another fine addition to what has been called the greatest CD compilation in the history of rock & roll (OK, so I'm the one that calls it that but what the hey). And I'd like to thank the Academy and these fine JMDLer's as well for pitching in: Victor Johnson Michael Paz Thanks, fellas for submitting some unreleased rarities to this set! And now, let's see what treasures await us on this volume, and the nominees are: 1. Danielle Howle - Woodstock: An unreleased and unplugged live version from Columbia, SC singer/songwriter Howle. 2. TRAP - Raised On Robbery: German pop/rock band does a fun version of Joni's rocker. 3. Cyril Ornadel - Both Sides Now: UK elevator version, a bit draggy. 4. Erik Espelid - A Case Of You: I like this one a lot; Erik's muse for this recording was Mark Kozolek (formerly of the Red House Painters) and he puts a nice moody edge on it, but very pretty. 5. Lew Soloff - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat: Trumpet-driven instrumental take on the Charlie Mingus classic. 6. Nazareth - This Flight Tonight (mono): It is what is says it is, don't know why they released a mono version but they did. 7. Barry Phillips - Both Sides Now: Oh my, Barry gets a little over-the-top with dramatics here, at least it's a VERY unique version. 8. The Pete Barenbregge-Frank Russo Group - Woodstock: I put this one on the jazz-oriented "Not A Word" comp a couple of months back, it's a great mellow instrumental. 9. The New Seekers - Night In The City: A nice folk-group sound from the gang that gave us "I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing". 10. His Brothers Children - Both Sides Now: Another kid's chorus recording, they do throw in some nice harmonies at least. 11. The Chorallaries of MIT - All I Want: College acapella from Cambridge MA, fun arrangement and well done too! 12. Danielle Blanchard - Twisted: Fun & swinging, nice combo backing her up. 13. The Uptown Trio - Song For Sharon: The highlight of this CD for me, probably because it's not a common Joni cover, plus it's from Hejira, plus it's such a dang great song and these guys do such a bang-up job with it, using a rolling piano sound as opposed to a guitar. 14. Ryoko Moriyama - Both Sides Now: Sung in Japanese. 15. Restless Wind - Urge For Going: Folk from San Antonio, TX. Hear it for yourself at: http://66.82.75.68/restless/ 16. Kashmir - A Case Of You: 70's duo from the UK, another pretty version of a pretty song. 17. Erik Carlson - Rainy Night House: Very nice vocal from this Southern California singer/guitarist. Check out a sample at: http://www.erikcarlson.com/listen.html 18. Paul Jones - O Jerusalem/Both Sides Now: More fine acoustic music, this time from Minnesota. Hear a sample at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/pauljones 19. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Woodstock: I know, I know, you've already heard this one...but not so fast! This is a demo version that sounds very different from what they released - definitely not a case of deja vu! Driven by an organ as opposed to the guitar. Cool! And that brings us to the end of another entry in the never-ending, laugh-in-the-face-of-death compilation series that is "Joni Undercover". As always, let me know if you're interested in getting a copy of your own and I'll be happy to make it happen.

Before that, she had been a Brill Building songwriter going back to the late 1950s. Laura Nyro recorded her first album in 1966, I believe.

First, the songs were: Raised On Robbery from C&S Be Cool Flat Tires A Case Of You Sex Kills Sire Of Sorrow Both Sides Now all from T"log and BSN The songs were woven together very nicely, there was no dialog, only a continuos string of radio/TV reports from the major events of the last 50 or so years. The only thing I couldn't figure out is why the actors were running and jumping all over the place. But I'm sure it was very deep and meaningful. The story was supposed to be from a woman's perspective, and, not being of the female persuasion myself, that might explain my confusion a little bit.

So short is the blurb, that I include it here in its entirety (sans picture, of course): - -------------------------------------------------- CD - Like a young Joni Mitchell Montreal singer-songwriter Coral Egan's second CD, My Favorite Distraction (Justin Time), is a bold suite of gorgeous pop tunes, backed by a full band, including strings. It's whip-smart all the way through - think Joni Mitchell, but younger and fresher - and marks the arrival of a major talent. - --------------------------------------------------- Me now - "but younger and fresher"?

I don't know how many of you have ever been to one (shout out to gregg cagno who I know has!) but here is a head's up to anyone in the northeast or eastern candada- next year's gathering will be in montreal (2005) & if you are a performer, house concert presenter or just a music lover you MUST go! Of course I saw steve & michele dulson there as they are very involved & hosted one of the showcase rooms... I met susan (ozwoman) who is one of the coolest, sweetest people you could ever meet! She hosted an incredible lineup of musicians in her showcase all weekend... Folk alliance is very hard to explain in words... Its an experience like no other... 4 days & nights of nonstop music... At least 100 showcase rooms (or maybe more) in hotel rooms or sometimes in bigger meeting rooms all going on simultaneously the entire time, the artists playing for about 20-30 minutes, then the next act is on... Some amplification, many pure acoustic... Hundreds of workshops, musicians from all over the world & the talent level is extremely high! So many of the most extraordinary musicians who you have never heard of! Some who you may have heard of, all mixing it up, playing & sitting in as the audience when they are not playing... The showcases start around 2pm & go until 3am or longer... After than its jam time... Obviously little time to sleep... Usually the folk alliance showcases are all in one hotel building on several floors, but this particular one had them in several adjoining buildings.... I heard comments like it was like spring break or mardi gras or jeff said it was like trick or treating going from room to room.... I am not sure how many thousands of people attended, most of them musicians! Of all genres & cultures & ages so don't let the folk word fool you! So, if anyone is wondering what happened to great great music, get yourself to a folk alliance... There are SO many INSANELY talented people who you have NEVER heard of!!!!! I think the 2006 conference will be in austin texas... If bob dylan or joni mitchell were starting out today, they'd be showcasing at folk alliance! www.folk.org for more info http://www.folk.org/AnnualCon/annualCon.htm this year's mainstage acts http://www.victorheyman.com/FA04%20Showcase--Performer.htm this year's guerrilla showcase performers (the real heart of the whole thing) Kate www.katebennett.com "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" The All Music Guide ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2004 02:27:48 -0500 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: March 2 On March 2 the following articles were published: 1978: "Joni Mitchell Meets Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" - Circus (Review - Album) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=715 2003: "Joni Mitchell's both sides now on display" - Toronto Star (Interview) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=1058 ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2004 #60 ******************************** ------- 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?
