[Bob Muller ] Re: New Joni Tribute acts? [Garret ] Re: Cass Elliot's Sisotowbell Lane ["mack watson-bush" Subject: Re: I am luckier than all of you Hi Vince. You are lucky indeed. Brokeback Mountain opens in Sydney January 26 (Australia Day). It's funny you should say, you knew you would get emotional. I was thinking the same thing. My employer gave us all a free open movie ticket to a local cinema as a Christmas bonus and I thought I'd see BB but, I really don't want to turn into a blubbering mess in public. I might have to wait for the DVD so I can sit at home with a box of tissues. :-) Hopefully, Aussie boy, Heath Ledger will come home for the premier. I'm also really happy to be part of this community. You have all been so selfless and encouraging in my time with this list.

I like ALison Krauss (thanks to Chris Marshall) but i have been a big Joan Osbourne fan since her first album so for me the potential of her presence is as exciting as knowing that Laurie bloody Anderson is playing! GARRET Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 12:12:27 EST From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: New Joni Tribute acts? Forgot to mention that the latest press on the Joni Tribute says that two new performers are "confirmed" for the Carnegie Hall Tribute: Alison Krauss and Joan Osbourne. That would be nice, I think. - - -Julius http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article?article_id=2554 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2006 14:36:56 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: New Joni Tribute acts? Hi Garret - as you know I'm a J.O. fan as well so the addition is good news to me. She has proven in her last 2 cd's to be a genuinely skilled interpreter, giving fresh versions of familiar songs, plus she can really belt it. I'm sending Laurie's emotional performance of BSN from Wall to Wall Joni; 3/22/03. I say emotional because this was the Saturday after Dubya invaded Iraq and there was a huge peace march scheduled in NYC - Laurie was scheduled for later but came on first so she could head back out in the streets. She plucked a violin with a programmed synth backing. And I love the intro speech she gives about people who "make things"... http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=35CE4P93DJ1X82QFF95SPA4Z2S Bob PS: Thanks to Harry Christian for the audio - Harry are you still out there? - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

A nice, subdued rendition of BSN by Laurie Anderson. I am trying not to guess what songs each artist will sing (perhaps some of them won't sing though, they may presenting or talking or something) but this version is, in my opinion, astounding. And don't you just love Joan Osbourne's At Last?? Not quite a Joni cover, but still relevant.

I like the lyrics but I hate the way Joni sings that particular song. I don't care for the melody. I can't say I care that much for Cass' version but it beats Joni's which I have deleted from my library. mack p.s. thanks Bob. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2006 #7 ******************************* ------- 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?
