I just hope she doesn't say "nucular." - --Smurf What is the Daily Buzzword for October 10? omelet \AHM-lut\ noun What does it mean? : beaten eggs cooked without stirring and served folded in half How do you use it? Carole liked to fill her omelets with fresh seasonal ingredients, such as asparagus in spring, zucchini in summer, and fennel in fall. Are you a word wiz? We can trace "omelet" (which is also spelled "omelette") back to its Latin roots in the word "lamina." What do you think "lamina" means? A. broken shell B. hot meal C. thin plate D. yellow mush Answer: An omelet resembles a thin plate, and that is what "lamina" means. The Romans used "lamella," a form of "lamina," to mean "thin metal plate." French speakers borrowed the word as "lemelle" and used it to mean "blade of a knife." Over time, the French word became "alemelle," then "alumelle," and later "alumette." It also acquired the meaning "dish made with beaten eggs," since such a dish resembled a thin plate or blade. In time, French speakers began to switch the "l" and "m" sounds so that "alumette" became "amelette." It finally became "omelette." The word entered English in the 1600s, when an omelet was described as a "pancake of eggs." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 13:10:22 +0100 From: "Paul Castle" Subject: BBC Radio 2 - Jackson Browne (not sure about JC) / Randy Newman (No JC) Jacky wrote: >Still not sure I can bring myself to try Radio 2 but I'll work on it.

Page 86 also has the b/w picture of Joni with Graham's song, Our House, written on it that was up for auction. Great insight into the writing of this song! This article is promoting "Off The Record Manuscript Originals" Book and CD narrarated by Graham Nash. But according to the magazine, "Over the next year, each issue of Performing Songwriter will feature the story behind a song, told in the songwriter's own words and taken directly from the amazing collection that Graham and his business partner, Michael James Jackson, have produced in Off The Record." GRAHAM NASH The Story Behind OFF THE RECORD In 1992, I was asked to donate a personal item for an auction that was being held by a local school near my home in the Hawaiian Islands to raise funds for the school's athletic gear that was destroyed by the ravages of Hurricane Iniki. I had a photograph of my friend, Joni Mitchell, which I had taken some years before; I thought it would be a good choice. In an effort to make it a little more special, I thought I'd handwrite the lyrics to the chorus of my song, "Our House" around the margin of the photograph. On the night of the auction. I was very pleased to watch this piece raise several thousand dollars for the children at the school. Afterward, I approached the woman who had purchased the piece and told her I was genuinely overwhelmed she would pay so much for the photo with the chorus of my song on it. she smiled and said, "Mr. Nash, you make a mistake. You may think this is your song, but this is really my song. Years ago, my boyfriend put this song on the turntable, dropped down on one knee, and then proposed to me. Now I have a piece of that song and a moment that I'll cherish forever." This incident was instrumental to the inception of our company, Manuscript Originals. It is so clearly and simply illustrated to me that music truly touches more than just people's hearts; it affects our lives in ways that are indescribable. I am still amazed by the intensity of feelings that get stirred up in me when I hear the music I grew up with. So many of the key moments in my life have songs that serve as their emotional landmarks. My recollections of becoming a young man are flooded with the colors and the music of those years. I've always felt the same is true for all of us. Songwritting has always been one of the most effective ways I communicate. There've been plenty of times when I've been asked about my songs and someone will say, "how did you write that?" And quite honestly, I never really have any idea. All I know is that songs are the most powerful tools imaginable and they swerve to bring us all to a place where we can experience shared memories and emotions. Manuscript Originals was established to celebrate the work of great songwriters throughout the world and to honor classic songs that continue to endure throughout time. "Our House" I came to live in American and stayed with David Crosby for a couple of nights. He threw me a party and invited Joni Mitchell, whom I hadn't seen since meeting her when I played with the Hollies; I went home with Joni and spent a couple of years with her in her home in Laurel Canyon. One day Joan and i got up...and went to breakfast at a delicatessen on Ventura Boulevard. a few doors away there was a little antique store, and in the window Joan saw this vase, went inside, fell in love with it, bought it and brought it back to the house. It was a kind of a cold gray morning as it sometimes can be in Los Angeles, and I said, "Why don't I light the fire and you put some flowers in the vase that you just bought." So she's cutting stems and leaves and arranging flowers in this vase, and I'd lit the fire,and I thought, "What an ordinary moment." Now, my and Joan's live at the time were far from ordinary...and I thought, "What an ordinary moment." Here I am lighting the fire for my old lady and she's putting flowers in this vase that she just bought. and I sat down at Joan's piano and an hour later "Our House" was written. I think the only thing that I've ever really tried to do with whatever talent I was given by God is that I want to touch people's lives for the better. I have no choice about this writing thing; I have no idea where it comes from; I don't want to question it too much. But I am so grateful that I can write. ******************* See it at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0740726781/103-7989402-2393423?v=glance Graham's tour dates promoting the book (Washington DC, Virginia, Ohio, California) http://www.manuscriptoriginals.com/idx_news_content.htm Also, on page 10, ALL ACCESS This just in Joni's Nov. 7 birthday is listed under BIRTHDAYS along with k.d. lang, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Bonnie Raitt, Peter Noone (who I saw last Sunday and OMG looks like Nick Nolte!), and others.

And Joni has been a background singer on others' recordings over the years, including for James Taylor and Joan Baez ("Dida," as I mentioned recently). Maybe Joni will appear on Dolly's album (in whatever physical formats, including, but not necessarily limited to, compact disk) as a background singer, or as an equal partner in a trio mode. Maybe on the same track(s) as Judy Collins, or maybe not. Or maybe Judy will join Dolly in singing one or more of the four Joni songs previously covered by Judy, but Joni won't be on the recording.

Dolly Parton got together with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt as "Trio" and they made at least one, maybe two, albums together. I think it would be very cool if Joni got together with Dolly. Would it be original material, I wonder? would it all be Dolly's stuff? Maybe Joni and Dolly could do, "You turn me on, I'm a radio" which is the one that springs to my mind right off the top as her most "country" song. Or maybe "Raised on robbery." And on the topic of whether or not country music incites people to suicide (I'm behind in reading & everything else), would it not occur to these people who do these so-called studies that maybe it's not country music that drives people to suicide, but that depressive people often listen to sad music - and it doesn't get much more hurtin' than country music. A lot of people think Joni is depressing too. ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 14:23:16 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Joni & Graham Nash OUR HOUSE Performing Songwriter --- est86mlm@ameritech.net wrote: > Found this in the November 2004 issue of Performing > Songwriter magazine > (Volume 12, Issue 81) R.E.M. on the cover. > Page 86 also has the b/w picture of Joni with > Graham's song, Our House, > written on it that was up for auction. > Great insight into the writing of this song!

It was founded by Benjamin Franklin as Pennsylvania Academy and is private and a member of the Ivy League) to which I frequently refer, as it is where I usually hear Joni on radio, recently moved to a new building and, as part of the celebration, held a listeners' poll to determine "The Top 885 Songs of All Time" (the station's broadcast frequency is 88.5 MHz). The method was for listeners to nominate their respective top 10; then, all were compiled. Full disclosure: I am not a person of sharply defined and readily ordered favorites; therefore, I did not vote. Anyhow, while, from the nominations read on the air, some voted for types of music well outside the scope of what WXPN nornally broadcasts, e.g., classical and operatic, none of those made it into the top 885, but some pop/rock outside the type they normally broadcast, except maybe when doing a special tracing the history of rock and roll, e.g., "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and "Walking In the Rain" (Ronettes), did. Most of you will probably be pleased that 16 of Joni's own recordings made it into the list, if not with how low some of them placed: 15 A Case of You 152 River 180 Coyote 225 Both Sides Now 262 Blue 272 Circle Game 325 Free Man in Paris 405 Amelia 433 Chelsea Morning 528 Song for Sharon 633 Help Me 713 All I Want 720 California 760 Last Time I Saw Richard 808 Woodstock 877 Hejira Also, James Taylor's "You've Got A Friend," with Joni on background vocals, was No. 323, and Crosby, Stills and Nash's recording of "Woodstock" was No. 507. From the latter, we can infer that the songs are being credited by performer and not by composer or lyricist per se, reinforced by the fact that "Amazing Grace" was credited to the Blind Boys of Alabama, who sing it to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun" rather than to the tune called "New Britain" to which it is usually sung, but it does not tell us whether voters meant "Both Sides[,] Now" on "Clouds" or on "Both Sides Now." I think the former. Aside: If all goes well, tomorrow night, I'll be going to hear Iain Matthews perform in Wilmington, Del. Iain Matthews, of course, formerly headed Iain Matthews' Southern Comfort, which had another well-known recording of "Woodstock," and at another time formerly was a member of Fairport Convention.

After reading your post I dug a little myself and found this on dolly.net which seems to be quoting from that same news article you read. "Dolly will perform a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" backed by a choir. She will also sing covers of "Blowing In The Wind," and "Me & Bobby McGee". Some of which will also be released on her upcoming album Blue Smoke, which will feature guest vocals from Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins" So maybe we will hear some actual new Joni vocals on Dolly's Blue Smoke album! I'll be keeping eyes and ears open.
