Hi Bo, Why not give it a try now? Coincidentally, we just got a free piano yesterday. My neighbors were moving and didn't want to move it all the way from Arkansas to Alabama so they gave it to us. I love the sound and feel of a piano. Keyboards are good, but they never have moved me like pianos do. I don't know "how" to play piano, but I can mess around playing things by ear. You probably don't even have a piano now, right? Well, you never know when you might get one... we didn't expect to get one "for free" like this. You can do it Bo. A few years ago, I saw a flute at a rummage sale, and it had "make an offer" tagged to it. So, I offered $25 to the priest who was selling it. He told me he could take it to a pawn shop and get $95 for it and refused my offer. So, I said oh well and gave up on the idea of getting it. When I went to the cash register to pay for the affordable stuff I'd found, the lady said, "Father decided he'd take $25 for the flute." I felt bad and gave them $35. I didn't play flute but was fascinated by the instrument. I hung on to my flute for about a year and then a friend told me of a high school girl who was giving lessons to people in their homes. I took the flute to a music store to get it serviced so I could start lessons, and the guy at the store asked me what school my child was at. So, I told him I have 3 at the same school, and he asked me which one was going to take flute lessons, and I told him none that I was going to take flute. His reaction was comical. It woke me up to limits that don't need to be there. I took flute until the girl moved to college. I was terrible at it. My sister-in-law laughed uncontrollably at me when I played for her. She couldn't help it, and I didn't hate her for it but felt rather hopeless. She tried to apologize in between sobbing laughter and told me she didn't know it took so much wind to play a flute. I was breathing wrong obviously. I played for my best friend, and she flat out told me I was really bad. I was. The reality hurt, but I thought to myself if others can do it there must be a way for me to do it too. It wasn't until after I lost my teacher that I "learned" to play flute. I don't blame her for my inability. I've never been able to play an instrument by reading music from a book. I thought if I was going to learn to play flute, I needed to close the book. So, I did. I started playing simple Christmas carols by ear since they are engrained in my head, and as I played I walked around in circular paths through my house to regulate my breathing and enjoyed the dizzy walking without passing out. Then I bought a Marshall Tucker CD because I love the flute in those songs. I listened and tried to play along with them until I got it right. My friend Betty who came to the fest with me in 2004 is an excellent flutist, a music major. But we are so different. She is book dependent, and I can't play using books. So, when we were working up Free Man in Paris to do at the fest I got out my flute and figured out the parts because we didn't have the written music. Betty wrote down what I was playing, and that's how we got the flute part. I don't play flute in public. I can't because it has to come from my heart and if my heart is all in a tizzy because I know I'm being listened to, I freeze. Demons in my brain... But, I don't let them hold me back from enjoying playing music in private or for a few friends once in a while. I play guitar and sing at church when I'm well hidden in the choir loft. The easiest JMDL friend for me to play guitar and sing for is Bree. I fell totally at ease playing and singing for Bree for some reason. Speaking of the brain, this afternoon we are moving a class load of brains into storage for next year's neuroscience course. What an awesome gift these people have given to medical sciences for raising new doctors.

Ashara and all, It looks like quite a few are ready to go back to Full Moon, and since you have already found a date available, why not go ahead and plan for it? If the train idea comes to fruition, that's great too. But as of now, there's not anything concrete date-wise or destination-wise for that. Folks out there who want to go to Full Moon in the spring please speak out now and let's help Ashara make this happen, it will be a great time as it always has in the past!!! To people who have never been to Full Moon Resort or to a Jonifest, this is a must for all Joni lovers at some point in their lives. These fests, wherever they are held, but particulary at Full Moon in upstate New York are literally 3 days of peace and music. You will have the most stimulating, fulfilling time of your life and make friends that will last and last. Please do go to the Jonifest section of the JMDL website and check out the accounts of the times we've had there in the past.

They were fighting an enemy with enemy Aircraft, enemy Tanks and indeed an enemy Army, something that troops in Iraq dont have to deal with at all. I do think the whole hero's status of troops out in Iraq is over done, I mean they didnt have to face an organised Army when invading Iraq, It was mass surrender all round. When our troops fought there way to Berlin ( those that survived) from the French beaches, they were told " Your now going to fight the Japanese " Also Vietnam was terrible for the US Soldiers that endured that war. Our current Force out in Iraq is more a Police force surley, where is the Iraq front line, were is the enemy Tanks, there is none. what Iraq is going through now is the begining of Civil War, and our Soldiers are getting in the way. I also think the US Army Chiefs are very glad that our troops are in Iraq, because it gives them fantastic training oportunities to train, far better than War manouvers back home. can anyone deny this I ask??? the US Army has to train to a high level of realism and Iraq gives the three star Generals there opportunity, when you join any Army its not some carrear where you learn a trade, you must be prepared to die. I get very sad when I see the films I mentioned at the begining because our troops had to fight the Germans constantly for years, facing freezing conditions, there bravery was amazing and when the Germans surrenderd, they then had to go out to fight the Japanese truly these were hero's, lets define the meaning of the Word. I do hope I havent broken any rule in posting this. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 20:24:01 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: Jonifest?
