For those who aren't familiar with the band, think of the beautiful harmonies of The Mama's and Papa's or The Beatles mixed with heavy guitars plugged into fuzzy big muff pedals. A very guilty pleasure of mine. The band was very short lived - only two albums before the co-founders Nina Gordon and Louise Post went their separate ways. And the newer music has never quite matched the goose-bump giving sounds of the original band. But, being the die-hard fan that I am, I picked up Nina Gordon's latest album "Bleeding Heart Graffiti" and, to my delight, was very surprised to hear this from her song "Christmas Lights": But my hero said: You can't hold the hand of a rock 'n roll man But what if I can? What if I can? I shrieked in the car: "Omigod - that's a Joni line! That's a Joni line! Omigod, I never knew Nina was a Joni fan!" My boyfriend barked back: "Calm down!" and "Okay, I don't want to hear another word about it!" Tee Hee... which is why I'm shrieking here now on the discussion list to those who will actually listen to me! christmas lights: i dream we're out on the runway and you're right there by my side we're taking off in your G5 baby i love it when we fly you're mighty like a knock-out you're desperate like a rose you stumbled into the spotlight and we watched the crowd grow but my hero said: you can't hold the hand of a rock 'n roll man but what if i can? what if i can? what if i... look to the sky check out the stars how they shine into your eyes they're just like mine searching the darkness for some kind of sign we're building our lives on the dreams we string together like christmas lights i can't wait 'til the night comes for that sweet blue summer sky 'cause i've got something to tell you baby and the daylight makes me shy but tonight i'll sing out as loud as i can like a die-hard fan for my favorite band loud as i can i'm going to... look to the sky check out the stars how they shine into your eyes they're just like mine searching the darkness for some kind of sign we're building our lives on the dreams we string together like christmas lights slow down baby, the summer is over and it's almost time to go home don't worry baby, the nights may get colder, but you're not alone my hero said: you can't hold the hand of a rock 'n roll man but what if i can? what if i can? what if i... look to the sky check out the stars how they shine into your eyes they're just like mine searching the darkness for some kind of sign we're building our lives on the dreams we string together like christmas lights Happy New Year to all!

Anxiously awaiting something from Joni, Kenny B ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2007 02:37:14 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: Re: Synesthesia article Thank you for this article Rick. I brought up a childhood experience of mine here a few years ago and one of my dear Joni amigos was pretty sure it was synesthesia. It turns out that it was. I am a color-music what they call "syn" and I have been networking with other synesthetes ever since. What was explained to me by experts in the field that are part of this syn network is that synesthesia is a joining of the senses. When we are all babies, the nerve endings in our brain are conjoined so in a sense, we are all born synesthetes. As the baby grows and matures the connections die and form the five senses we know of. So it's very possible that Joni could have synesthesia. I have to say I've never seen this article but I will pass it on. I'm sure the professors that are a part of the synesthesia network may be already aware of it. Thanks again Rick.
