Thanks once again, Bob for the retro covers. A mixed bag as usual. Some 
gems and some stinkers.

How appropriate for Bette Midler is Twisted? The speedy wordiness of it 
is perfect for her burlesque style. Chaka Khan's version of Man From 
Mars is a gem too. Very bluesy.

My two favourites would have to be Chinese Cafi by David Hay and This 
Flight Tonight by E-Clypse - the best cover of that song by far and the 
first version that isn't a 70s glam rock version.

Thanks also to Laura for sharing this preview of the upcoming tribute 
album. Interesting interpretation of the song. Quite unique.

I have been so curious about what Sufjan might do with this song.
Sufjan definitely makes the song his own. Great.  Does anyone have the
tracklist handy?  I loved Bjork's Boho Dance.

  Stinkers?? Such a harsh word...I prefer to put them in three categories; Great, Good, and Van Ronk. LOL
   
  Glad you enjoyed it, Mark. I'll keep 'em coming.

Thanks Bob,
This is an impressive listing, but i still would love to hear Janet
Jackson's Beat of Black Wings.    I'm terribly curious about Dreamland on
this album.  I really love the version that Joni and the band do at the end
of PWWAM, although, if i remember correctly, it's not the full version.  I
heard it first on S&L and lvoed it.  It was one of the first things that i
LOVED on DJRD.  FTR by Cassandra could be great.

I really like Annie's LOTC and Sarah's Blue.  I can never decide if i like
JT.  SOmetimes i think he is really awful, dull, lifeless.

Yeah, 'LOL'. Har-dee-har-har, Muller. Seems to me the
only covers I ever sent you were by Dave van Ronk.

I thought I read somewhere she dug the Burundi recordings out of the French 
archives.

<<BTW does anyone know if Joni actually hired the Warrior Drummers of
Burundi or, as I suspect, found an LP of their drumming, transferred
it to her multitrack and wrote a song over it (when I remastered HOSL
I heard LP surface noise only on that song.) I wonder if they got
paid ;-)>>

Subject: Re: yet another list - but guess who's no 1 VLJC

I must say I was incredibly impressed with this list, I would say that about 75% of the names are some of my all time favorites.  My only gripe was Peggy Lee not in the top 50, but Patty Griffin being there was enough to ease the pain. heh heh

And Paz!!!  Oh Paz, if only the weather wasn't so crappy (it's a blizzard here for the past 3 days!), I would drive the 3 hours to see you.  When are you coming to Vermont?  

In other news:  The Sufjan Stevens cover is quite the cover.  I LOVE IT!!!  I just heard about him in my Music Theory class last semester and apparently he has an entire album of songs named after cities.  I guess he could've used this one then.  I agree that it's very heavy on the Sgt. Pepper influence, but I love it.  BTW:  For anyone looking for some other bands that have a big Beatles influence and also like Queen and the Beach Boys, check out Jellyfish.  One of my top ten fave bands.  They came out in the late 80's, early 90's and then broke up, but Jason Falkner, Jon Brion, they were all part of the band at some point.  Super fun.  

Also, I really was serious about there being a Jonifest twice a year.  I unfortunately go to school during the time of the usual Jonifest and one of these years I'd really love to attend and even perform.  Is  there anyone else out there that would be interested in maybe seeing if this could happen?

Then today I was watching the Christmas episode  from the 1st season and 
"River" came on in the background.  I had no choice  but to sing along with it to 
the point that my sister told me to not overwhelm  myself.  Hey I like the 
little things man.

"It's the little things, 
The little things, the little things, the little things. " - from Sondheim musical "Company"

Finished the first show, have about an hour till the next and final performance.  It's been rich.  There was a slight panic earlier today when the GSU police wouldn't let us in the building even though we had a scheduled performance and were supposed to have already been given access...oh beaurocracy, usually much more a pain in the ass than anything useful and productive.  But once we convinced them we were supposed to be there (I think one of my professors had to email the police captain and sign his life away because the dork who owns the theatre never notified the police we would be there...but it is now no more than an unpleasant memory and everything is fine.

Looking forward to the next performance...the first felt more like warmup.  It's kind of sad that it will be all over but a such a great experience...nothing like singing on the stage under a spotlight.

Hi Jahida-
I would have love to have seen you here. Ashara just left and I am in  
the dressing room on hold with US Air to see if I am flying out  
tomorrow or not. We may have a small Jonifest in Boston tomorrow. No  
plans for Vermont at this time but stay tuned to the list and check   
out preservationhall.com or imnworld.com for our tour dates.

Best

Paz
