Anxious to see the rest. Bob NP: Joni, "For Free" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 01:04:08 +0000 From: Michael Subject: Joni with hair piled high; GLU; Alela Diane I came across this unusual and recent photo of Joni tonight. Although she looks (uncharacteristically) unkempt in this snapshot, she's still a beauty, even after all these years. http://media.canada.com/f2c776c7-d458-449d-bcf0-aad47cf9b1ec/jonimit.jpg And on another subject, after reading Girls Like Us, I have to say Chuck Mitchell comes out looking pretty good. Although the author is clearly biased in Joni's favour, she doesn't shy away from pointing out areas of the narrative where the truth may have been refashioned somewhat by Joni or her entourage over the years, to portray her in the best possible light. I enjoyed the descriptions of her life as an art student in Calgary. This book also carves a special place for itself in the Joni biographies because Weller was able to interview both Don Alias and John Guerin before they passed. Their accounts, too, were fascinating to read. And on another subject entirely, ever on the lookout for the next great girl with a guitar, I was one of the lucky few who caught Alela Diane's first forray into Canada last night, in Quebec City. She sang her American roots/trad inspired repertoire solo for most of the evening, but was accompanied by a banjo player for a few numbers. She had a lovely stage presence, an impressive voice and solid guitar technique. She cast quite a spell over the audience, who stood by rapt for an hour, under the cool night drizzle of a rainy summer sky.

I particularly enjoyed reading about Joni's childhood/teen years. I think a lot of your experience and interaction with others as a child shapes your personality later in life. - -Monika NR: Virgina Woolf: A biography by Quentin Bell - --- On Mon, 8/4/08, Michael wrote: And on another subject, after reading Girls Like Us, I have to say Chuck Mitchell comes out looking pretty good.

Certainly some hits and misses amongst them. The stand out of course is Dave and Robin's, Woodstock marathon. What an epic performance. Robin's low key vocals blend into the wave of music so perfectly and what about that guitar? Wow! These guys really put their own stamp on the song. Excellent.

Theo Bleckmann &Ben Monder - Sunny Sunday: They are all pretty good songs, Bob, but this one really sticks out. This song doesn't get covered very much, but these guys really do a great job. I just wish I could have seen Theo at the Wall to Wall performance. Thanks for another great cover! Jimmy ************** Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
