Notaro" Subject: Wall to Wall FOR THE RECORD: "Wall to Wall Stephen Sondheim" On March 19, 2005, Symphony Space presented a 12-hour salute to the legendary, award-winning theatre composer Stephen Sondheim in honor of his 75th birthday. Excerpts from that star-studded event have just been released on a new CD, "Wall to Wall Stephen Sondheim," available exclusively at www.symphonyspace.org. Hmmmmm. No Joni Wall to Wall????? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 08:05:17 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Wall to Wall Subject: Re: Wall to Wall So I guess Joni's fans need to be more rabid!

Maybe if it was in LA it would be the reverse, I dunno. Bob NP: Led Zeppelin, "Achilles Last Stand" Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Life is for learning, Kira - sorry it took me so long to get this out here. I had to go dig up Volume 17 to get it. It's very casual & sparse, the last minute features some really nice textured cascading guitar. http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0TQKTGEDKI2TO1MI7Z2T4L1STD Bob NP: David Baerwald, "The Got No Shotgun Hydra Head Octopus Blues" (great track from a great neglected record) Tired of spam?

Re: (Walmart Can Rot in Hell) Bree- I don't know where you're from, but I feel the same way you do about the west. I am from Oregon, and we have so many grandiose views - if you saw Farenheit 911, then you saw clips of the wide, unguarded Oregon coast. (Oh, sorry, it's not unguarded, it's got one guy guarding it). But I spend a lot more time in the desert east of the cascades because that's where my family's from. At some points, you can look out for hundreds of miles on brown, yellow, gold and green hills. Whenever I travel I play a lot of Joni - I guess it's that restless quality in her music. Last time I drove up the Columbia River Gorge, I was playing Blue, than driving back on 1-84 at night with all the truckers I played Court and Spark and in the most remote areas, like the tiny town of Monument where my family is from (pop. 160) I played Clouds. The great thing about Joni is she has something for every situation. RE: Walmart Article Em, as regards "your generation" - I'm not sure what generation that is exactly, but many of the songs I write are about the relationship between the baby boomer generation and my own, yet-to-be-named-born-in-1985-generation. I think many people of my generation feel a certain resentment towards the children of the 60s because they often tend to act like their generation was the best and most influential ever. Of course, they lived in the shadow of "The Greatest Generation" - those of the Depression and World War II. As I am writing this, "Fiddle and the Drum" is playing - just by chance. I know so many people who protested th Vietnam War who seem to just protest for the sake of protesting. I believe that if America can create any kind of change, the baby boomer generation and my generation must stop being competitive and work together. Maybe that sounds namby-pamby, but I believe it's true. Again, I'm not saying the 60s and 70s didn't bring about many incredibly important changes, ch anges from which I myself have benefited, but sometimes it seems that generation must live in the present, not the 60s - and my generation must stop trying to prove themselves. Social activism and social justice should be about just that, not about image. I know this isn't what you were talking about, but the generational talk seemed appropriate.
