I'm not one to gush, but let me.  Man!  I just loved that.  The guitar playing
just blew me away.  Man, it's good.  Is the music available somewhere?  So
wish I could be at the show.

Subject: book White Bicycles by Joe Boyd

I have just started Joe Boyd's  2006 book about the sixties, White Bicycles. 
He was of course the US record producer who spent a lot of time in the UK and
produced people like Nick Drake.  The book was recommended by a friend, but I
don't know if it was discussed here.  If anyone still has any mails about it,
I would love to see them.

I don't want to say too much about the book yet,
but I am already totally hooked.  It is beautifully written, full of great
information, from a very personal angle.  I am sure this mail does not need a
"NJC" tag in the header, because I am sure I will come across a lot of Joni
content before too long.  

And by a wonderful coincidence, I just walked into
a bookshop last week and saw the face of Nick Drake on the latest Mojo
magazine, and I bought it on impulse.  Then I found that the free enclosed CD
was a celebration of 50 years of Island Records, where of course Joe Boyd
worked, and the inside cover is full of quotes from his book.  I love this
sort of resendipidy, and now I have the perfect accompaniment to my book!

<I am sure I will come across a lot of Joni
content before too long.  >

If I'm not mistaken, Joe Boyd promoted Joni early on with tapes of her songs, and that's how Fairport Convention first heard Both Sides Now/Eastern Rain/Chelsea Morning, and The Foggy Dew-O heard "Born To Take The Highway, Ian Campbell heard Circle Game, Dr. Junk and we got recordings of all of those.

I'll bet that's a great book, Lieve - might have to check it out myself.

Subject: Local San Diego interview with Dave & Robin

Thanks to all for the kind words regarding our little radio spot.  
Live radio is a bit frantic, with the engineer scuffling on the floor  
trying to track down bad connections one minute before airtime and a  
headphone mix that sounded like you were singing into an empty  
swimming pool but I guess the music still came across and the  
interviewer does know his stuff about Joni and music in general  
(being the San Diego Union Tribune Pop critic).

Cheers all,

Dave
