What sychronicity!!!!! I'm still trying to track down a televisin performanace with Joni and her friend Dino for a documentary on Dino's life. This recording sounds great. Can anyone help me get a copy of it? The dogs ate my internet connection, broke my laptop screen and then ate throught the power cord....Work computers don't let me do ANYTHING!!!! Glad to be back with my JMDL family. Darice ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 16:02:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Joni and Dino-Get Together Darice, Welcome back!

I did two parts (1) the lead line (solo/fills) and (2) the support line. The more I listen to the recording it seems that there is a third, very sparse line that weaves in and out.. Do you have any info on this? Do you know anyone that might have info? I know that Jaco Pastorius was known for overdubbing and weaving parts in and out.

I think the chorus is just: 555555 Come on people now, 777777 Smile on your brother, every 000670 body get together, try to 555555 Love one 777777 another right 000670 now Now its just the rhythm I need to work on.
