Do we know where, when or how this recording comes? I wonder why she never put it on an album. I love the couple of folk who clap at the end. Sounds like some coffee bar in Toronto. Joni sits in the corner strumming away whilst everyone sips their white, unfrothed coffee. 'Whispers vanish into space' - she even hits a bum chord!! Like stepping back in time.

It really is lovely. It is extremely similar, though not identical to, the version that Simon made available on side 1 of Tape Tree #1, recorded by the late Ed Sciaky from the front row of the Second Fret in Philadelphia on March 17, 1967. Hard to believe that this recording is 41 years old, and even more disturbing that Sandy is gone for 30 years already. :-( Really, who knows where the time goes?? take care everyone, Brian np: Night in the City 3/17/67 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Politicians and diapers both need to be changed often.

Particularly now in "these changing times, change in the heart of all mankind, oh these troubled times" when it appears the three big E's (Environment, Energy, and Economy) are converging to cause enormous personal, societal, and environmental turmoil (climate and species) it does seem increasingly like oops this is when TSHTF and we have no more control over circumstances than ants do while scurrying around busily in the heat of the day on an anthill.

Gosh, Brian, thank goodness Ed and whoever did this had their tape recorders with them. I don't remember tape recorders being anything other than cumbersome beasts in those days and the tape quality sounds pretty good to my ears, although I did wonder if I caught the overall level drop a bit in part of it. Nonetheless - over 40 years, as you say and Joni sounds much more 'folkie' than later (by later I mean as early as 'Clouds'). There's that sort of high note projection that reminds me of Joan Baez which, for me, 'later' Joni doesn't do. And as for Sandy being gone 30 years, well, when I find myself asking 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes' I find myself replaying 'I don't know, but I think part of it seems to be right around my middle.'

There was much more to Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny besides the music. Some sort of English mysticism which took me back to the prehistoric times and people which led to the megaliths of Stonehenge. Jeannie Barbara Stewart wrote: Hi Folks.

He told me that when he went in to do the overdubs, Joni sat him down and played the whole album for him. I asked him what is was like to have her personally play the songs for him. Greg said that it was a little surreal and kind of overwhelming... I've only heard a few tunes so far, but they're really nice... ********** pedal steel ... is that like drums, percussion? (my question) ********** *Thanks for the heads-up...* I became a fan the first time I saw her. It was 1966 in Flint MI. She was playing at a little coffee house, "The Sippin Lizard" owned by a friend of mine, with her husband Chuck. I became a folkster after the first time I saw them. She's cool. I'm still trying to find Dale B. ron ********** *Thanks for this, Joni sang at my HS prom...* No kidding. Not only that she was the opening act for Blood, Sweat & Tears. It was just after her first album and she was nervous and giggled more than she sang. Her growth as an artist has been remarkable and the ballet looks fantastic (and I'm not a ballet fan). Go Joni, and keep being irrational (it fits in with my hope for Gore running) ********** *God bless Joni... * Her music helped me get through my youth. ********** Me too !! ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2008 #28 ******************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
