You'd think it would be "Covers Girl" wouldn't you? Maybe, but "A Few Small Repairs" is my favorite, too, and the only Shawn CD I own. I guess because I'm so fascinated by original songs and I adore John Leventhal's production and musical contributions. I first heard him on Patty Larkin's Stranger's World, another great record IMO. Everything he does is beautiful.

Many thanks to Laura for turning us on to great photos. I remember sitting on wet and muddy grass listening to Richie Havens at the original Woodstock....I had just married and we hitched from Philly to Woodstock, arriving several days before the concert began. When Joan Baez sang it was pouring tear drops from heaven, a gesture, I thought, in honor her......yep, I was rolling around in the mud slides and having the greatest time. Seeing the photo of Laura Nyro was heartwarming...I adore her music. Off to another subject....Marianne, the story you shared with us is beautiful. I remember working with a young woman (42) who was given a week to live. I was called in to help mother and daughter work through any final issues. Being a student of Viktor Frankl, I worked hard to give Cathy (fighting cancer) a sense of purpose to her life. Soon I got her up, out of bed and walking the nursing home halls. Then I seized the opportunity to give her a "caseload" of patinets to visit and asked her to take a few notes so we could talk about how each person was doing. This sense of having a purpose to live lasted 6 months. I visited her every single day during that period of time and to quote the title of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's book "To Live Until We Die", I was able to participate in this magnificent process. Cathy told me, shortly before her death that she saw my father (who died in 1981) sitting in a chair in the day room waving to her. Cathy had never met my father but I had no doubt that she saw him. When the final days of her life began, I got in her bed and held her in hope of soothing her fears. One night I told Cathy that it was okay to let go.....she died several hours later. One of the things she enjoyed was listening to Joni and becoming familar with Joni's music. I showed her the covers of each album to convey the magnificent art she produced. Cathy was so taken by Joni that in her final days she enjoyed Joni's magical gifts. There is always a purpose in our lives regardless of any condition or set of personal circumstances presented to us as sometimes overwhelming "tests". Joni has always been there for me, soothing my wounds and helping...urging...allowing me to reach down into my soul finding answers to enormously difficult questions. Joni touches so many people on such a personal level. I send you happy vibes and hope each one of the members of the Digest are enjoying their life. Love to all from Bo Tired of spam? Yahoo!

She went out and rented a theater and then hit up everyone she knows with a business to sign on as a sponsor. Within a few days, she had all her costs and expenses covered. She put up posters all over town, announcing the concert and advertising the names of the businesses that had lent her a hand. Then began the creative part; getting all her musician friends together in order to rehearse the songs. She worked hard, from morning to night. Everything was carefully planned. A couple of nights before the concert, she proudly showed me her notebook. She had a checklist of at least fifteen pages of things to do. "Everything is ready," she told me. Yeah, I thought, everything except making sure that a five hundred seat theater has enough people in it on the night of the concert. Last Thursday night, I headed for the theater. The marquee announced: Daniela Voigt En Concierto Made me think of the old Barry Mann (not Manilow) song, On Broadway. I was standing near the door, waiting for a few of my friends to arrive. My anxiety about the number of people began to dissipate as the line got longer and longer at the ticket booth. I breathed a sigh of relief and started to relax. Things were going to be all right. In the end, there were more than 300 people in the concert hall. The opening act was a three-man jazz band: bass guitar, sax and bongos. They got the crowd going and then moved off the stage. Ximena, up in the lighting booth, turned down the stage lights and Daniela came walking out. For the first and only time that night, tears came to my eyes when there was a roar of applause. My little girl looked so tiny up there on that stage...and yet so sure of herself. I'm not sure which part of that brought the tears. After that, I just sat back and enjoyed the concert. She picked up her guitar and did a folk song. From there on out, she brought out one group after another of the best friends she's made among the musicians in the cafes downtown and did a wide range of songs, including an old Mexican bolero with Jorge Santoyo, a Joni Mitchell song, a fine folksy number by a Mexican group called Presuntos Implicados, a wild version of Cry Me a River with another woman. She and Alan, the preacher's son, did a duet on Bill Wither's Lean on Me. She brought the jazz band back out and did Summertime with an interlude of Besame Mucho. She did a Brazilian song in Portuguese. She also put one of Pablo Neruda's poems to music and brought the house down with a touching rendition. It was a fine mix that finished off with a raucous, mind blowing version of Turtle Blues that would have made Janis smile. What a trip. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2005 #204 ********************************* ------- 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?
