Hope you two had fun! Lisa Haley called me tonight and she is leaving for the 1st leg of her European Tour n a day or two and the second leg is in July. She is going to Austria, Holland, Switzerland so heads up you guys. Go chck out a great Louisiana girl and her fine band. Chuck Alvarez is a great guitar player. She said she was gonna call you before she leaves Kakki. Love Paz P.S. I bid on doing a show with Judy Collins here in La.

WEll there! That is exactly what I meant Jim. Night Swimming for me is about sitting with friends on the beach here (2 mins by car, from my house, 10 if you walk) with a bonfire and some good wine, a lovely late June evening. This would have been 1999 ..........so 7 years after "~Automatic for the People" came out. We all ended up skinny dipping in the moonlight .........it was as if we were dripping silver on our skin and the water was flat and almost a total mirror...... Wonderful.. and on the way back someone started to sing the song and we all joined in....... I bought the videos of REM a few months back and the video for Night Swimming shows people on a beach with fires....... Very odd and synchronous. What touched me of your experience in relation to "Night Swimming" is that it is linked to someone who, clearly, deeply touched your life. It is wonderful to be able to recreate the sensations of being in that time and space from time to time. In thinking about the whole concept of music and where it takes us and what it means on its many levels, I have come to begine to accept that all of this world, our lives, all our anger and hunger for sense and meaning, all those petty things we steam about and all the mess we try to sort out....... in the end, becomes someone elses memory of us after we are gone. Life is wonderful and extremely precious. I am off to the Isle of Wight Festival with Frank and my next door neighbours tomorrow morning. REM are headlining the last night..... I have not allowed myself to get excited yet........ I have too much work to do........

It was a time in my life where my emotions were = opening and the music touched me so much more deeply than anything could = today. Joni ( and to a lesser extent CSN, Joan Baez, etc. ) etched many = words directly into my heart next to the memories of those days. =20 I still do not see Joni as the maturing 50-something year old that she = is.

I haven't seen the file that you're talking about, but have done some DVD burning myself and it can be a little dicey sometimes. What is the format and what application are you using to do the burn?

Geez Lucy and Don from one end of the planet to another. You both have evoked in back-to-back posts some of my best life memories.

I'd already known Joni when I met the first love of my life but part of that love's greatness was that he was as much into Joni as I was. And yes, there were many bottles of Spanada emptied on that moonlit beach. Sweet.
