["Joe Jones" ] Re: Goldem Reggie of Maidstone ? [J Kendel Johnson Subject: Goldem Reggie of Maidstone ? Hi Joni fans, I have explored the town of Maidstone website for mention of Joni and the elusive Golden Reggie and Sharon but to no avail unfortunately. The link is: http://www.townofmaidstone.com - if you want to take a look. I guess we'd be looking for a circa 55 year old Maidstonian - perhaps a lawyer or a car salesman or a trucker or a teacher - who knows ? I've asked the contact email on the site if they know anything - perhaps I will get a reply - anyone got any other ideas ?

For what it's worth, my hunch remains strong that "Golden Reggie" is a carefully chosen, but fictitious name -- "Reggie" being her modernization of "Regis" (king) -- referring to a local golden boy/prom king/heartthrob type -- and that Joni may have had a particular guy from her youth in mind, or she may have just been referring to a general longing for her romantic ideal.

With your pledge, we're just $50 short of the mark, but I've already accepted the Carnegie Hall JMDL Pre-Tribute Reception proposal on a leap of faith. :-) Mark your dancecards for 6:00 p.m. in NYC, Carnegie Hall, Feb 1, everyone. Stay tuned to the JMDL for the formal invitation/announcement in the next couple days.

Sometimes, I visit the East Meadow Public Library and borrow CDbs from their vast inventory that I may like enough to buy or make copies of. A recent album by Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Co-burn) had some good tunes on it but I wasnbt impressed enough to add it to my collection without hearing more; I checked with the library and found they didnbt have it. While I was browsing through the many titles at the library, however, I came across an early album by Cockburn entitled, High Winds White Sky, so I brought that home to listen to. Ironically, I loved this collection of sensitive and finely crafted tunes that are somewhat simpler than his newer material, and I was glad I found it. There are ten original songs in all and I think every one is a keeper. The vocals and acoustic guitar on the first tune, bHappy Good Morning Bluesb, reminded me of Paul McCartneybs upbeat style from his Red Rose Speedway days. bLet Us Go Laughingb is a slower, more deliberate ballad, and therebs a great, lilting piano riff throughout bGolden Serpent Bluesb butbironicallyb no one is credited in the liner notes as playing piano on this album. Fine acoustic guitar work, neat chord changes and thoughtfully poetic lyrics in the title cut, bHigh Winds White Skyb, bLifebs Mistressb, and bShining Mountainb , remind me of early Joni Mitchell on her JM/Song To A Seagull, Clouds, or Ladies Of The Canyon albums. Ibd guess itbs long out-of-print but, if you can find it, Ibd highly recommend this collection to anyone seeking intelligent, easy-listening music from a singer-songwriter with something to say.
