After I listened to the radio interview that Robin & Dave did a while back, I meant to post something about it. I second everything Kenny says about the performances that these two create. The arrangements and playing are beautifully executed tributes to Joni's music that show Dave's respect and understanding of it. And Robin's lovely vocals have just the right amount of reverence coupled with enough of her own unique interpretation to make them very special tributes to the originals. As a rule, I'm not much of a fan of covers of Joni's music. I usually am disappointed with them. Joni's music is so original and linked with Joni herself in my mind that I rarely see anything in other performers' interpretations that add anything to the songs. Most of them just don't grab me. Dave & Robin are one exceptional exception to the rule. I would love to hear more of their wonderful interpretations of Joni's music. I too wish I could attend the fest in California this year.

Fiddle and drum is indeed scheduled for 2/25/10. The amazing thing - tickets are only $28, less than half of the UCLA price, and the theater is much smaller and more intimate, with generally better sight lines, than Royce Hall. The big question - would Joni make the 45-mile limo trip to Irvine? I can understand that folks might prefer to go to UCLA in case of a Joni sighting (that's only a ONE mile limo trip for her!) And there is no royal box in Irvine. :) *************************************************** Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA tinkersown@ca.rr.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" www.thelivingtradition.org "Folk Alliance Region - West" www.far-west.org ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 09:36:18 -0700 From: "Mark Scott" Subject: Re: The Magdalene Laundries Thanks for this, Laura. I love this song and think it is one of Joni's masterpieces, somewhat overlooked. It has a beautiful, haunting melody that is perfectly wedded to some wonderful lyrics. It's one of those songs that tells a personal story but manages to pack a wallop of a message as well. I can't understand how anyone can listen to this song and say Joni has never produced anything that matches the quality of her 70s work.
