It was very interesting listening to Dave and Robin's take on Joni's music and of course, it was a thrill to hear them perform. It was also interesting to be sitting in my living room in Sydney listening to a local San Diego radio station. Surreal. Thanks again, Dave for sharing this with us. Wish I could see the show.

Hope to see you there! Robbi - -------------------------------- TWEED TheaterWorks in Association with Robbi Kearns - - PRESENTS - JOHN KELLY in Paved Paradise Redux: The Art of Joni Mitchell at Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand Street, NY NY Limited Engagement June 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 at 8pm Thursday & Sunday $20 Friday & Saturday $25 "No less a critic than Joni Mitchell herself has been surprised by the impact of Kelly's cabaret tribute. I was braced for a lampooning, she told The New York Times after seeing "Paved Paradise" in Manhattan in 1997. I didn't expect to be so touched. I cried in two places. Mitchell is now one of Kelly's biggest fans." The Boston Globe "Transformation through spiritual osmosis...Magnificent!" The New York Times For tickets: Call 212-352-3101 or buy online at https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/645565 After an eight-year absence, two-time Obie Award winning artist John Kelly once again inhabits the persona of Joni Mitchell in an entirely new evening of songs and stories. Conceived and performed by John Kelly, produced by TWEED TheaterWorks in association with Robbi Kearns, and directed by Kevin Malony, PAVED PARADISE REDUX: The Art of Joni Mitchell runs for 7 performances only beginning June 18 at Abrons Arts Center. In PAVED PARADISE REDUX: The Art of Joni Mitchell, John Kellys performance is a musical and visual homage to the great Canadian singer/songwriter. His countertenor uncannily evokes Mitchell's own smoky soprano as he sings songs from the various stages of her career in their original key. He also plays dulcimer and replicates Mitchells guitar style by way of her signature open tunings. Kelly is accompanied on keyboard by musical director Zecca Esquibel, as well as additional musicians. The evening also features an original video component featuring Kevin Joseph (Broadways Threepenny Opera, a.k.a. Flotilla DeBarge) as journalist Tavis Smiley in a recreation of his PBS interview with Mitchell. As a kid growing up in New Jersey, I would put on my headphones and be swept into Jonis world, explains Kelly on his love for Mitchells music. Hers is a world rich with wanderlust, emotion and innuendo. Her songs have the power to transport a lonely individual into another world. I suppose it was the words as much as the music. The combination of the two was, and remains powerful, beautiful and compelling. The Boston Globe recently wrote, "No less a critic than Joni Mitchell herself has been surprised by the impact of Kelly's cabaret tribute. I was braced for a lampooning, she told The New York Times after seeing "Paved Paradise" in Manhattan in 1997. I didn't expect to be so touched. I cried in two places.

Great guitar Dave, and Robin's voice is clear as a bell. You didn't answer the question - are you smokers ? ; ) (I think I know the answer) And yes, I have also always thought that ACoY was inspired mainly by Leonard Cohen... I would love to hear your show, with your band, someday.
