["Lindsay Moon" ] happy birthday Ashara [Mags ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:51:49 -0700 From: "Lindsay Moon" Subject: A new 12-year-old convert?? My son Dennis is 12 and an avid guitar player. During the summer he continually got new songs from Tabs 911 or whatever that site is and we heard him all day playing away. That guitar and small amp was the best investment we ever made. He's very much into his dad's tastes, heavy metal, but a lot of Zeppelin and Clapton too. Of course I can't help playing devil's advocate, trying to throw in a few zingers like, 'you know, Robert Plant is a huge fan of Joni's.' I could see the disbelief on his face. And the requisite eye-rolling. Then I found the Musician article I have in my archives (read a drawer in a closet) in which Larry Klein catalogs the huge musicians like Plant who became quivering bowls of jelly when she played them something. I left that article open on his bed. Today I read him passages from "Girls Like Us," with John Guerin and Don Alias both saying how put off they were when they first heard they'd be playing with "another skinny-ass folksinger" (Alias) and how blown away they were by her actual musical talents. Dennis said he can't believe the people who are so into her music. Hmmm. Maybe another chink in his armor? We'll see. Have a great time, all you Festers!
