Bob already has the original recording from Karan's 'Ships In The Forest' album. In the interview she talks about a forthcoming collaboration with Aoife O'Donovan, singer with 'Crooked Still'. best to all PaulC NP Crooked Still - Sometimes in This Country http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSa7Qzk2tgQ (loving what I've heard from their new album!) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 12:50:20 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Christine Tobin covers Tapestry http://tinyurl.com/2fppld7 This article caught my eye, because I think the concept of covering an entire ALBUM is pretty cool + Christine Tobin is a unique singer. She's done a couple of Joni covers, namely "The Priest" & "A Chair In The Sky" which are not exactly the ones most people pick...again, pretty cool. Wonder if she'd ever do an entire Joni album? What if you could pick an artist or band to cover one Joni album? Who would you pick, which Joni album and why? Speaking of covers, Volume 126 is right around the corner.

I have uploaded the whole show for you all to download. It is over two CDs and I have designed a cover to go with it. The links are good for seven days.

How were those days? How did you guys work? Michael Landau: That period of recording and touring with Joni was definitely a highlight for me. The tour was a world tour that lasted about 8 months. I think I was 24 years old then and yea, we were all haven a good old time and gettin' crazy drinking too much. Joni gave us all a lot of freedom to go where we wanted to take the music, she liked the harder sounding side of that band (Vinnie, Larry Klien & Russel Ferante) so we went with it. AL: How were you guys writing the tunes, did Joni come with the melodies in piano and guitar and you would put your take on it ? Was any of the live material improvized or everything was structured out? ML: Joni would show us the chord changes to the tunes on guitar or piano and she left it up to us what to play on it, sometimes we would try different ideas, but we usually stuck with the initial feelings. AL: I was reading somewhere that you played with Miles, did that happen? ML: I've only recorded on one Miles album on one track on the "Amandla" record. George Duke was producing in Los Angeles and I'm sorry to say that I never had the experience of meeting Miles or playing with him live. AL: Mike, someone was telling me about a band you had with Vinnie Colaiuta called 'Dog Cheese', what was that all about? ML: "Dog Cheese" was put together right after Joni's tour. It was Vinnie, Larry Klein, Steve Tavaglione and myself. We played original music that Larry and I wrote, and played around L.A. mostly at the "Baked Potato". There are some rough cassette's floating around of live shows, it was some pretty slammin stuff. We never did a record though... Its too bad. AL: Whats the probability that some of the rough tapes can be gotten hold off ? What was the material for Dog Cheese, were you guys taking some of Jonibs compostions at all? ML: There just a stereo mike "walkman" recordings, too rough to put out... It was all original material by Larry, Steve & myself. - ------------------------------------------------------------ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.

It's a dream band. I don't think anyone can come close to Jaco at bass, but fortunately Klein doesn't try to be Jaco. So, though I prefer the S&L band by far, the 80s band with Klein et al doesn't try to be the same, so it's OK. I also prefer the DJRD "Cotton Avenue," but still enjoy hearing the version at the Red Rocks concert. P.S. "Dog Cheese?" Yuk, blech, it gives me a bad taste in my mouth and I can smell something stinky just thinking about it. Maybe it was Joni's "punk" band. ________________________________ From: "Merk54@aol.com" To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Wed, June 30, 2010 5:43:20 PM Subject: Re: FW: 1983 version of Cotton Avenue I agree that Banquet was a highlight of that tour.
