You are completely right. There is a traditional saying in Portugal and probably in many other parts of the globe (as in Greece) that when the sea is like that is a "carneirada" (carneiro=sheep and carneirada=many sheeps).

WhaT can WE DO to help her? Joni, would you like our help? (even tho you say you don't email. . maybe someone will give you this message and you will know that we WANT TO HELP). . I imagine Joni is set. She can do what she wants at this point in her career. Another experiment, using other methods... She can afford that fun. I would be very surprised if asked us for help.

"Hmmmm I'm just thinking... if jm.com would agree to sell the new cd - would her agent want a cut? or do they just get a percentage of her earnings?" I misread that and saw "car" instead of "cut", and became very troubled by the fact that Joni's agent would want us to give them a car. Nuri - --------------------------------- Yahoo!

What a kicking surprise! I've heard from a co-worker music freak friend of sort of "middle-aged raves" that go on out there in the desert sometimes, filled with great musicians and times. I wonder if Joni is in on that loop? Cool. And thanks Bob for the link to the Incense Owl! That is so cute and I never knew of them before. In my locale, the trend was to burn the incense in little brass ashtrays from India.

There's much envy and jealousy when it comes to Joni's beauty and brilliance. Sanctimonious skunks, they are, as they raise their screaming guitars into the air, and whose main concern is simply and plainly packin' in the grandstands...swooning the vunerable and lost with, "oh, come let us adore---ME!" I have us a pack of Warren Zevon werewolves from London and a mean ol' coyote at the door for protection. Norma Jean ` Tired of spam? Yahoo!

It wasnt just the This Is Your Life setup, replete with a slide show and videos illustrating many phases of his long career. It was the intimate musical scale that made Taylors current show seem like the real-deal James. Backed only by the fine pianist Larry Goldings, Taylor was given the rare opportunity to be as clever, whimsical, warm and laid-back as he wished. You could believe that his past, and Carolina, really was on his mind last night. When he appears in huge settings like the Tweeter Center, Taylors fans respond raucously to his extroverted, good-time fare. Taylor in middle age is a professorial type, even a bit monkish-looking. So its like his fans are egging on the introverted nerd to get down, go crazy, and party hardy. And he aims to please. But most of Taylors music could hardly be more philosophic and quiet, and last night was a fantastic chance to hear the subtle songbook, the man and his muse. He started at the very beginning, with Something in the Way She Moves from his Apple album, circa 1969. Ever the people pleaser, Taylor signed an autograph from the lip of the stage after his first song. (He signed a whole batch more during intermission.) Introducing Carole Kings, Youve Got a Friend, he displayed, on a screen, a photo of King and the musical mates they shared shows with at L.A.s Troubadour Club in the very early 70s, a time when he said he was Joni Mitchells bitch. The song, though a staple of every supermarket loudspeaker, was still an intimate highlight, perfectly cadenced. More obscure fare, such as Mean Old Man and Valentines Day - both dark-hearted songs in merry, swinging disguise - joined with beloved hits such as Sweet Baby James and Steamroller Blues. Shower the People was one of two to employ a singing video of the Tanglewood Festival chorus, a great effect. The video screen showed everyone from Dick Nixon and the Rev. Moon to Elvis, the Red Sox and Stonehedge in prefacing the song Line Em Up. Taylors galumphing, enormous drum machine, a Rube Goldberg-like contraption, accompanied Chili Dog and Slap Leather, the latter sung through a megaphone. But it wasnt the adorable gimmicks that made this show valuable. It was seeing the full expression of a nuanced songwriter, a superb fingerpicking guitarist, and an ageless, agile singer.
