I see that Joni will be featured in the upcoming Hall of Fame show, Women Who Rock http://rockhall.com/exhibits/women-who-rock/ They mention in her bio that the first song she ever composed was Day by Day. Anyone ever heard that one? I always get a chuckle when I see Joni's name assosciated with this institution - since her music is not what I'd classify as Rock & Roll (aside from a small handful of tunes, such as Raised on Robbery). I see in their current show, 500 Songs that Shaped Rock & Roll, they chose Help Me, her only entry on the list http://rockhall.com/exhibits/500-songs-that-shaped-rock-and/ Actually, I find questionable the whole concept of this institution - they seem to walk a fine line between legitimacy and enshrining both exceptional and low (in my view) pop culture. A museum for people who don't usually go to museums. I guess we need those too.

I'm sure its been discussed already here, but have any of you read Nick Hornby's book Juliet Naked? I'm reading it now, and there are some....similarities...to us freaks here! THere have been just a couple of Joni mentions so far, and I'm not done with it yet, so no spoilers! But it speaks directly to our little community here. It is really making me think about how much time we spend analyzing and surmising about our favorite artist(s). I'm drawing lots of parallels to Ryan Adams though he hasn't completely burned out yet. By the way, it was so nice to Michael Paz here a few weeks ago, even though he is a golderned wanker!!! Don't miss your chance to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, they are really phenomenal. XOXO to all of you.

I just spoke with them and while they cannot honor the rate I got in December, they will offer us a rate of $80 per night and throw in free internet ( a must with this group ) + free local calls. This is a 4 star property and still an amazing rate. Personally I plan on arriving on the day before Aug 16 and 17 and depending on further mini-fest developments and my work schedule, could extend my stay to a day or two more. She has given us one week to book this at this rate. I posted this on the FaceBook Group page as well but wanted to do it here as well. She will set up a group rate and I will give you a phone number to call in and make your own arrangements with your own credit card. Please advise me asap of your intentions for dates and I will block the rooms, set up the group, and then give you the info on how to proceed.

Yes, it is very nice and what I would consider on the higher end. If people can get a rate of $100 a night there, that is a very good deal. It has lovely grounds, live jazz in the garden some nights, a spa and very nice rooms. We even played live music there in Paz's suite one night without complaint or incident. (It being a corner suite probably helped ;-). I got it confused with another place closer to me. This hotel is probably around 5 blocks from the center of downtown but very walkable and there are shuttle Dash buses where you can ride all over 25 cents. It is in the Little Tokyo and Artists Districts. Lots of good places to eat - Japanese, Chinese, Korean and gourmet and a few jazz and live music clubs within a block or two. Kakki, sounding like the Downtown welcome wagon ;-) - ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Paz To: kbhla@fastmail.fmkbhla@fastmail.fm Cc: Jim ; jraymills@aol.com ; tinkersown@ca.rr.com ; drumimprov@earthlink.net ; sherellesmith@hotmail.com ; jeffolsondrums@mac.com ; fritz_stumpges@fluidcomponents.com ; paulcarman@gmail.com ; Russell.Cole@humboldt.edu ; scjoniguy@yahoo.com ; chandras@ix.netcom.com ; relliea@aol.com ; barnabyfinch@verizon.net ; rflynn@georgiasouthern.edu ; moonlj@san.rr.com ; WirlyPearl@aol.com ; dlmessling@rcn.com ; johnsonjs100@comcast.net ; beatntrack@sbcglobal.net ; slickwoman@hotmail.com ; davidmarine@mindspring.com ; les.jonilist@gmail.com ; sem8@cornell.edu ; babarum@dc.rr.com ; loveuconn@hotmail.com ; happytheman@gmail.com ; Merk54@aol.com ; cloudhidden101@gmail.com ; kay@kayashley.com ; Kate Bennett Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 3:39 PM Subject: Re: Pricy Aug. vacation vs. less expensive options Kyoto a very nice property > Michael Paz > Tour Manager > Preservation Hall Jazz Band > PH Office-504-522-2841 > PH Fax-504-558-9192 > cell-504-382-0343 > Home Office-985-764-0395 > http://www.preservationhall.com > SKYPE: jmichaelpaz > > Mailing Address: > 828 Royal Street > New Orleans, La. 70116 On Feb 3, 2011, at 4:33 PM, wrote: Thanks, Jim. I can vouch for the Kyoto Grand downtown. I think paz and the band have also stayed there. It's just a couple blocks from me and near the center of things such as the Contemporary Art Museum, Disney Concert Hall, Music Center, many beautiful arhitectural bldgs. (L.A.Library, etc.) and many fine restaurants and clubs. Downtown has become a great destination in recent years. Further down the street is L.A. Live, the Grammy Museum and more. The subway system can take you to Hollywood Blvd.,out to Universal Studios, over to Pasadena and to East L.A. In other words, lots to easily sightsee, plus access to transportation and the Kakki pad ;-) There should also be some reasonably priced hotels/motels in Hollywood. Hollywood has also become a great place to dine, shop and sightsee in recent years and has easy subway access. Downtown is about 8 miles from Hollywood Bowl. That translates to driving time of 10-12 minutes in no traffic and about 20-30 minutes in the regular traffic.

Midweek Hotel rates in LA are much higher than weekends. Gaging by hotwire.com rates for 8/16 to 8/18 checkout which would be about the best group rates available, rooms are 4 star property in downtown LA @ $106/nt 3 star property downtown @ $94/nt (Most likely Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens ) 3.5 star property Glendale/Burbank/Universal City @ $125/nt 3 star property Glendale/Burbank/Universal City @ $106/nt 3 star property Hollywood @ $110/nt (might not be a nice enough property though) Priceline.com has a group rates for 8/16 - 8/18/ of Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens (3.5 star downtown) has a group rate of $119 (2 beds) and $109 (1 bed) Safari Inn (3 star Burbank) has a group rate of $109/nt (not that good of a property imo) Coast Anabelle Hotel (3 star Burbank) has a group rate of $129/nt Rates nearer LAX are the least expensive though I didn't list any. (the above is just food for thought - Paz see if your NO connections know of any So Cal connections) As for a Santa Ynez Valley group rates, it looks like most properties I browsed are very expensive ($200/nt and up) and a lot are fully booked already. Unless someone has "connections" or alternative ideas, it may price some of us out of a weekend getaway. I, personally am game for anything within reason and would even consider pitching a tent as someone else suggested (though not my 1st choice - lol). An option I thought of that we might consider would be a weekend in Palm Springs using the Alpine Gardens (http://www.alpinegardens.com/) as our base camp/Ground Zero headquarters. Palm Springs is about 115 miles from the Hollywood Bowl and Tom, one of the owners of the property, said he could give us 8 rooms for about $70 - $80 per night (or less) which would be awesome. That would accomodate about 16 - 25 of us and there are other inexpesive, nice properties nearby for overflow. The place is perfect for music, fun and sun. Check out their accomodations on their website and let's beat this idea around if anyone thinks it would be a good idea. I think a 3 - 5 night stay here would be a blast even with the desert heat of August. Here are the tripadvisor reviews of the place http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g32847-d119389-Reviews-Alpine_Gardens _Hotel-Palm_Springs_California.html Jim = ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 20:14:53 +0000 (GMT) From: Lieve Reckers Subject: Re: Cassandra Wilson - For the Roses Lovely version, and fascinating info about the National Recording Registry, Jim! I saw your message suffered from the same problem I had so many times: those "b"s in the middle of the text, that make it rather difficult to read, so I hope you don't mind that I took it upon myself to clean it up and hopefully make it more accessible to the other readers. At least, it looks fine in my draft here. Who knows what letters will come spooking round when it reaches the JMDL!

It's Mitchell's first, and so far only, album to accomplish this feat. Other selections that year included Michael Jackson's Thriller, The Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison, My Fair Lady (original cast), It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels by Kitty Wells, If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again by Tommy Dorsey, Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock, Harry S. Truman's speech at the 1948 Democratic National Convention, The first transatlantic broadcast from 1925, Ronald Reagan radio broadcasts from 1976 1979 and others.
