It's a tiny program that will record any sound playing on your computer as an aiff file. iTunes will convert it to mp3. For videos on You Tube, get PodTube. It's also free from Version Tracker. It only works on You Tube though. It will download the front playing video on You Tube and convert it to mp4. It is meant for playing on an iPod. mp4 is really bad quality on larger screens.

Yes Michael Brecker - Tenor Supremo Black Napkins with Frank Zappa, and work with Billy Cobham. What a Loss! Re Don Juan's Reckless Daughter - Dreadful Album. Jaco Pastorios was a wonderful bass player. despite that Album. I can't even try to play like him: fretless angel - now literally. But superb on Heijra. But I think that possibly John Guerin's influence on HOSL was for the better if not the Roses. Whilst Listening to For the Roses today. I thought I was glad I wasn't that creative. The cost is not growing up, and all the difficulties being a free spirit with titanic talent entails. I'm am really confused about this whole e-mail update. Am I supposed to add & comment? I suppose so. Given this, MOA is the best Live Album ever, I have the slightly short SAL, but it isn't my favourite anyway, even 4 way street is poor in places (Testoerone battle between Stephen & Neil (FZ Mothers Live 4 unreleased recordings of CSNY "fighting in the dressing room at the Fillmore East")) Yes RNH best version ever also Woodstock TS & the LA Express Wow! Also HOSL Favourite Album Edith, Scarlet, and the rest. Just wish I could sing or play one tenth as well. Have got my daughter to learn to Play Joni & Carole King on Piano. Don't really care about Modern Bands, but just wish I could fingerpick. Yes Like RLJ also (who wouldn't) . Agree GW Bush is not fit for office, and that Antony Blair has let UK side down badly, re Iraq, and that interests of Halliburton have been paramount. Would have loved to have seen Joni more than once only London 74 with CSNY, LA Express. Paradoxically would really love to be able to play her acoustic guitar stuff, but haven't got the chops yet. Can't remember any more strands.

Hi Patti, I learned Heijira from the Shadows and Light album and she actually says on this one: "As snow gathers like bolts of lace, waltzing on a bridal girl...." and "Strains of Michael Brecker coming through the snow and the pinewood trees..." I may be a word or two off on the second quote but Michael Brecker is the musician of choice in these lyrics. My favorite line in this song is: "We're only particles of change, I know, I know...orbiting around the sun...but it's hard to have that point of view...when I'm always hung up on someone...white flags of winter chimneys...waving truce against the moon...in the mirrors of a modern bank...from the window of my hotel room...." Man I can see that everytime! Sherelle From: Patti Witten From "Hejira:" the final couplets of each of the three verses are perfect, beautiful.

So nicel said Norma Jean!!! Perfect! I think Joni is not good with funerals. Everyone handles grief in their own way. I think she needs to handle hers in solitude. I'm sure it's very hard to lose such wonderful musical companions. Shadows and Light is a work of art in my opinion. When introducing the band, she has a cute name for Michael Brecker when she introduces him. I can't quite make it out but it sounds like "Wrecky Brecker" or something like that. When she calls him this, she giggles right afterward. It makes me know that there was a comradarie and friendship between them as well.

I needed a 60 cent stamp and was offered these two: a map of Canada, or a picture of Amelia! A wide world of noble Joni causes. I think I took Amelia, after explaining my "problem" to the clerk.

When they gave Joni back the first guitar she ever played, I could relate to the feeling of coming full circle with a guitar like this. A few years ago, I got the first one I played back too. My cousin in Florida found it in the attic of the house my aunt had just sold. He was making one more check through to see if they had gotten everything. He was surprised to find the guitar. An old Epiphone. He asked me if I had left a guitar there, and I said not that I know of but I'd be glad for him to send it to me. Nobody else in our family plays. When I saw the guitar, I couldn't believe it... it was the first guitar I played as a child about 10 years old in Port Huron, Michigan. I was too small to comfortably hold it upright back then so I put it across my lap, and the first time I strummed it, it was magical... a moment frozen in time for me. It stayed at my grandfather's house, and I went home to Nebraska and played violin which was what my mother wanted me to play, but I longed to play guitar. I couldn't believe it came back to me after so many years. My grandfather from Port Huron must have brought it to Florida years ago along with a lot of other "relics" he gave my aunt. On the sticker inside it has "Kalamazoo, Michigan." The guitar still sounds good after years of being in the attic in Florida which is another miracle.

I don't have a record player but I am starting to collect records so I can be one of those people who scoffs at others, "oh, well I have THAT on vinyl."

I am interested in Joni's artwork. I like what I've seen on her album covers so far. I don't know art per se but I can appreciate beauty. I read a more recent interview with Joni and she said something to the extent that no one takes her art seriously so she doesn't take it seriously either anymore and right off I thought, "aww Joni you don't really mean that man, come on now." I mean it's one thing to have one talent/passion but to have two?!? Damn. Keep at it man. And as far as downloading, I just don't get those people who have a shitload of burnt cds. I love, love, LOVE cds. I love owning them! I love knowing that I'm giving money to the artist who made it so in a way encouraging them to make more albums! I love when the words on printed in the insert. I love the insert itself--the pictures, the listing of the musicians, any notes the artist makes. I love covers! God I love it all so much that I detest Ipods and all that crap. It's so cold....and impersonal....there's no connection there...you just download whatever at random and lose the magic of albums.

I was at my friend's house yesterday and I asked him to watch some of my love, YouTube, since it doesn't work on my computer and one of the things we watched was Joni's 1970 performance of "Both Sides Now." Very lovely performance if I do say so myself. However, as soon as she started strumming, before any singing even, my friend goes, "oh you like country music? Cool." I explained this wasn't country and so forth. Since then I've put this song on a few times listening closely, even playing it for my brother and sister, trying to see if there was any truth in that question. I don't see it, or well hear it.
