[Walt Breen Subject: Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Bob included (on Joni Covers, Retro Edition - Volume 45) >7. Bert Jansch & John Renbourn b Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Had a bit of an online 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' fest yesterday after spotting this track (originally from their 1966 album 'Bert & John') on Bob's post - got me searching the net for it - found it here - http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Goodbye+Pork+Pie+Hat/16346234 The search also led me to a version by Scottish guitarist Tony McManus - who, in his introduction, mentions going to a John Renbourn workshop where John claimed you could play just about anything in DADGAD tuning - apart from jazz - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3Gl_TTH5KQ This got me wanting to watch Joni's live version - from the 'Shadows and Light' DVD - which I found here - http://bit.ly/5WE4gr before stumbling across this cool cover (of Joni's version) by a band called Kiran Funk - fab vocals!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_xntqNzGlc and rounding off with Charlie Mingus himself, live at Montreux in 1975 - wonderful stuff!! _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU_RxWXijz0_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU_RxWXijz0) Thanks for your research, Paul. That Bert and John album is one of my favourites of all time and I feel I'm lucky to have witnessed live performances from both those great musicians many times over the course of their long careers. In some ways it's a pity they only made the one album as a duo but that also makes it more precious, I suppose. I never felt that Pentangle captured the same brilliance. I had never heard of Tony McManus before - clearly he is an example of another great Scottish guitarist. He's actually contradicting himself and Mr Renbourne by playing jazz in DADGAD pretty well. Had never seen the Mingus version before either. What a great find!

Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:20:09 -0700 Hi gang, When I last Joni on TV, when she was promoting Shine on some morning show, she seemed to have lost weight. I'm hoping this is a healthy slimming down and not a sign of failig health. Any news on this front? Also, and I know this is shallow, don't you think she'd look better with a simpler 'do, say a pageboy or some such, and go with silver or ash blond rather than platinum, which always makes her look sorta pinched to me. In more pertinent matters, someone intimated to me that Joni may be working on a new boxed set, hopefully with at least some new material. Also, some time back she mentioned the possibility of putting. out a Christmas album. I'd buy it, particulary if she were to include Gift of the Magi. Anyhoo, just a few random thoughts and questions to get myself caugfht up.
