Another GREAT covers CD Bob, and you're catching up with Smurph's age now! >>2. Bruce Foulke - Both Sides Now: A recent and rather bland instrumental. << I liked this one a lot, and he used to produce some of Cheryl (Hi Ashara) Wheeler's songs. >>6. Phillip Keveren - Both Sides Now: This one is also an instrumental, BUT it's not bland by a long shot; a beautiful arrangement for solo piano and executed just as beautifully. A real pleasure! << It's so nice when a REALLY nice version of BSN is covered. I thought of Fred Simon's "Songs of my Youth" when listening to this. >>9. Riguelle & Hautekiet - How Do You Stop: Another entry from Belgium! This one's great too...pretty piano and the vocal is very rich.<< These two guys are awesome. I'm ready to fly to Belgium to see these guys, AND to get out of this fricken heat! >>12. Jim Harmon - The Circle Game: This recent and very tender version is from Jim's lullaby CD. Hear a clip at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jimharmon<< What a sweet voice. This is the kind of voice you want to lull you to sleep. If you don't get the covers CD, at least hear the clip. >>15. Jim Ohlschmidt & Paul Kowalski - Both Sides Now: I happen to think that this recording is pretty darn great! << This is one of the best instrumental covers of BSN I've ever heard!!! >>16. Ann Hampton Callaway - Twisted: Ann's a great jazz vocalist, and this take on the Wardell Grey tune features some splendid backup vocalists as well, << I thought I recognized her voice. She sang "The Nanny named Fran" AAAAH Mr. Sheffield!!! >>19. Mike Beck - Both Sides Now: From Montana comes yet another lovely acoustic guitar take on the standard. Besides music, Mike has a tack shop and is a real cowboy<< Not only is his guitar playing mighty fine, but the man is a real CUTIE! He can saddle me up anytime :~) Thanks again for another fun cover Bob.

It ispossible there will not bea nother albu,m. Joni is 60 and maybe no more new work from her either. No one goes on forever. I consider myself fortunate that two people have produced so much work that has meaning and joy for me. Everything comes to pass, nothing comes to stay. I accept that. yes, it would be really good to have more work from t hese two, but I have what i have and i accept that the curtain may well have come down and the show is over. But I have the recordings to listen to over and over and over. I don't need to feel let down or disappointed or to push for more. More would be nice of course! - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2004 18:13:10 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Covers 55 Contest - Joni's Menagerie As promised, and just so Smurf can relax, I'm sponsoring another friendly contest to encourage the proliferation of Joni covers in the world. This time around the theme is "Joni's Menagerie"...I'll name an animal, you tell me the song in which she mentions it. (Some are mentioned in more than one song). Cheat if you must, but it really doesn't give you an advantage, because the winners will be chosen at random from everyone who responds - even if you don't have ONE correct answer! The number of winners will depend on the participants; the more players, the more winners. You can only use a song once, and remember to send your responses to me offlist. I'll announce the random winners on Sunday, and I'll also announce who scored the highest. Here goes: Alligators Anaconda Beagle Bears Bees Buffalo Butterflies Caterpillar Chicken Clam Cow Coyote Crane Crickets Dolphins Donkey Dove Dragonfly Elephants Falcon Fish Frogs Geese Goat Horse Jaguar Lobster Loon Mink Peacock Pig Pigeon Rat Rattlesnake Raven Reindeer Salmon Sandflies Seagull Sharks Sheep Shrew Snails Spider Swan Ticks Tiger Whale Wolf Whew!! And that's not even all of them. Joni must be a descendent of Noah! Good luck, and thanks for playing should you choose to do so.

Beagle? For real? Permanent cute puppy dog look, floppy ears? Dear me, that's a blow. Never thought I'd hear the word "beagle" pass Joni's lips in song. Seems to so devalue it somehow.

Thanks for the correction, David. I did a search before I posted, and the "like it" quote was the only one I found. It was also attributed to Louis Armstrong by some. I agree they are not identical statements. So can I make claim to the first one?

I caught a lot, but was totally stumped on a few. after, I looked through the lyrics (didn';t cheat tho, this was after) and it was great to read some that I had not checked out for a while.. I was most moved by reading stay in touch, which is striking in it's wisdom and clarity. thanks! Bill On Aug 3, 2004, at 11:04 PM, Catherine McKay wrote: > --- Chris Marshall wrote: >> Awww, c'mon.

Also - Philly 1976 concert Hi all, Just enjoying WTRF for the first time. Looking through the inside cover (it's a record), I noticed a peculiar painting of two horses who, shall we say, seem to be enjoying each other's company...I apologize if I'm just young and ignorant here, but are they doing what I think they're doing? Inquiring minds want to know... Thanks and love, Wes p.s. Does anyone know the gentleman (or lady) that recorded Joni's concert in Philly 1976? If you taped it or know the person who did, please contact me. Thanks. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2004 #222 ********************************* ------- 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?
