You have me sinking into a Nick Drake mood ... I can't do this, it could last the whole winter!! And I have one more Joni event on Saturday! Nick Drake is like a comfortable cave you could cocoon in for countless months. That's my plan after Saturday!!

As they arrived on the Friday evening at my house, tired and happy to stay indoors, while we having a bit to eat, BBC 4 showed its "Singer-Songwriters at the BBC" programme, a "Compilation which unlocks the BBC vaults to explore the burgeoning singer-songwriter genre that exploded at the dawn of the 1970s and became one of the defining styles of that decade." Joni was of course included. She sang Chelsea Morning and wore a pink dress, so maybe this is from the "Pink Dress concert"? Other artists included were James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Harry Nilsson, Sandy Denny, Steve Goodman, Neil Young, Judee Sill, Jackson Browne, Neil Diamond, Tim Hardin, Joan Armatrading, Tom Waits, Terry Jacks, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Jimmy Webb. The latter was a surprise to me, I love his songs (in the clip he sang "By the Time I get to Phoenix") but I didn't know he had been singing them himself all those years back, I thought he had started off as a writer for other singers, and had only much later begun to perform them himself. This programme was followed by "Songwriters Circle", a recent concert with Richard Thompson, Suzanne Vega and Loudon Wainwright ("The singer-songwriters perform their classics, chat about their work and collaborate" as the blurb says), and then the wonderful "Carole King and James Taylor: Live at the Troubadour from 2007. What a treat! Anybody in the UK who wants to catch up on those programmes can go to the website and watch them again for a limited number of days. This link takes you straight there: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules/2010/10/01 Enjoy!

In fact the afternoon, already. I've taken Dave and Robin to the nearest Underground station, and by now they should have reached Heathrow. I hope they still feel the glow too, all the way on their long flight back. It was such a good gig, it was such great weekend. Let me try to tell the story. ... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 13:24:09 -0700 (PDT) From: Jahida Jorganes Subject: [none] http://hetofuvi.tripod.com/noxata.html Wor kFrom Jobs That Real lyEarnMo ney ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 01:06:05 +0000 (UTC) From: waytoblue@comcast.net Subject: Re: Nick Drake for the JMDL Great recommendation! I first heard Nick Drake around 1994-5 and was immediately entranced, more so than by anybody I had ever heard (comparable to hearing Song to a Seagull for the first time though.) I really felt like he was a kindred spirit and immersed myself into the world of Nick Drake. I was working at a record store at the time and was constantly trying to turn people on to him. On the day of what would have been his 50th birthday, I put together a small tribute night and actually learned the song Fruit Tree to play there. The night itself was really cool but had a bit of an eerie feel, as if Nick Drake himself was present in some form or another. I then wrote a song called Way to Blue, in response to his song by the same name. It appears on my first cd, Tangled, which I dedicated to Nick Drake. He has definitely been a huge, major inspiration to me and I still don't know of any music or sound quite like his. He was truly unique in a beautiful, tragic kind of way. I had the opportunity to see A Skin Too Few at a screening at the Atlanta Film Festival several years ago. I'm glad to see there are still so many people grooving on Nick Drake. I also recommend the book by Patrick Humphries. Victor, taking a moment to post something (it seems like a lost art with an 11 month old crawling around!) /////////////////////////////////// Nick left a legacy of just three albums issued between 1969-72. They were: FIVE LEAVES LEFT (1969), BRYTER LAYTER (1970), and PINK MOON (1972). ALL are recommended. as a starting point ... there is a 4th CD, a compilation, that I'd recommend as your first purchase: WAY TO BLUE: An Introduction To NICK DRAKE and then I'd proceed in chronological order. - - - - - - ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2010 #278 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
