Hi gang, I'm a huge fan of Gore Vidal's work and life; and I'm now reading his second (and, he presumes, his last) memoir, Point to Point Navigation. I've been reading him since I happened upon his first novel, The City and the Pillar, when I was a freshman in college. Anyhoo, I've always had a teasing shock of recognition when I look at photographs of him, but not just because I've seen pictures of him before. I just now realized what it was all these years -- his cheekbones and his direct gaze remind me of La Joni. I know I'm weird, but does anyone else see this?

Certainly their demeanor, intelligence, independence, and brashness are alike. But looks?

Elisa said in many interviews that Joni is one of the artists that most influenced her. Enjoy it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbTzI_lWts4 Hugs, Pam ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:05:26 -0500 From: roberta@nietzsche.net Subject: hi - newby Hi all I am currently waiting on a Roland V-8 - I can feel the gentle tremors of recognition in some of you already.. He he - does any of ye own one? Oriole ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 18:49:02 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: hi - newby Hello Oriole- I own 2 VG-8's as well as the new VG-99 which is far better than the VG-8 in sound quality as well as capabilities. I would be happy to help you with any questions you may have about the system. I have done programming for John Kelly who is a performance artist that does a Joni show and I have helped many of the other listers on here that have purchased them for their use. I think there are about a half a dozen of us now. Funny I just was experimenting with a new capo system called the Spider Capo that I am hoping will allow me to use my acoustic guitar for some of the Joni songs I do. I do love the sound of the "soundhole on your knee", but I am a bad joke teller and it wakes me too long to retune between songs so I enjoy the VG for its quick change the tunings function. I have also spent alot of time trying to get the best acoustic guitar sounds and not process the sound so much on every song so that it is more like an acoustic. I am sure you will get some comments from the purists out there that shun in horror of the use of such a devilish device. Have fun! AND HAPPY JONI TUNINGS!

Oriole ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:32:08 -0500 From: roberta@nietzsche.net Subject: literature ''...it's literature, no-one else is doing it!'' No artist has said anything as stimulating as that about song. Is she right? Does she just mean pop or all song-writers? I like the point of it though - there is a chronic facsimile device in operation reaching its glorious zenith as X-Factor type malarcky, where the image is glued onto these shallow/frightened youngsters.... a device that started with the Brill Factory, Elvis ... folk was inventive, that was its point, it told stories as they were happening, they communicated events and attitudes to them and had to be perinent, it had little to do with high salaries - just a living.
