One of our crew had a Doors T-shirt on, they asked me to sing (we were pretty much the only ones there at this point) so I said the song was inspired by a T-Shirt and broke into it. The rest of my set - "Hotel California" and "Johnny B. Goode". Had a great time! Lieve and Kakki, check out the pic!

It seems so innocent and simple now, but then we thought it was sophisticated... And oh my, now I only remember: that's how I got my first Joni record! (Better remove that NJC from the header again, it's been coming and going like a yo-yo.) I hasten to add: I chose Joni, it was not the automatic "pick of the month"! I was about 15 and had heard some of her songs on the radio, and was much intrigued. And I think this record was especially produced for that record club: it was called "Big Yellow Taxi" and on one side was what I later discovered was side one of "Song to a Seagull" and on the other side was side two of Ladies of the Canyon - - I wonder why they did that, without even mentioning it. But anyway, I loved the songs, I was particularly taken by how wonderfully weird Nathan La Franeer sounded. On the back was a rather unflattering photo of Joni playing the guitar, with some text printed over it, giving some potted information about her.

And we had a blast in our mid to late teens hanging out at the Evolution record store in Houston. That was just way too cool for us. The store clerks were always playing great new music and were the coolest people we knew at the time. I didn't discover the Columbia and BMG record clubs until my early 20's and that's when my album and tape collection really took off. I do remember worrying about missing sending in the postcards. But after one "auto shipment", I never missed a postcard after that.

My life was changed forever. Everybody in the house thought I had lost it. That and listening to Tommy by the Who were my initial experiences into complex rock. Love it to this day. Blue and Court and Spark came a couple years later. Take care, Sue PS My dad called this music Neo-Barfism. He was into Wilson Pickett. :-) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 20:11:58 +0100 From: Anita G Subject: Re: Albums or songs that you never forget when you heard them for the first time Mine would include: 'If I could only remember my name' David Crosby 'Bless the Weather' and 'Solid Air' John Martyn 'Songs From The Mediterranean' Savina Yannatou 'Never Mind the Bollocks' Sex Pistols 'Dare' Human League 'Mystery White Boy' Jeff Buckley and every album ever released on Atlantic Records.

Just wanted to check in from Pres Hall Central where we are having a crawfish boil tomorrow to celebrate 50 years of Preservation Hall. We had a fab weekend last weekend in the Northeast where we played in Boothbay Harbor (where I pitched my pal Jenny Goodspeed and the Box Car Lillies cause they have so many folks that like that kinda music up there) and New London, NH, and Mountain Jam up in the Catskills very near a certain resort where they use to celebrate the music of Joni Mitchell at least once a year. We had an amazing time at Mountain Jam with my pal Warren Haynes who was our host and The My Morning Jacket cats that sat in with us and Grace Potter our new BEST friend. What a cool festival and such a beautiful location for it in Hunter, NY. I would recommend it to anyone. Please check out this link to help the Ruth Paz Foundation and try to secure us a huge grant to help us with the hospital. We moved up from slot 31 to 23 after I posted the link to my Facebook page which means that if I post it here we will probably get to #1. Thanks so much!

We wrote the official tune for this year Bonnaroo Fest on the tour bus about a month ago with the McCoury boys riding down the road in the middle of the night after their bus broke down and we had to all pile in one bus. These moments are priceless folks and I don't take them for granted. I am so blessed to be a small part. Anyways if you are going to Bonnaroo, holler at me as we are there all weekend. We are doing a screening of La. Fairytale a doc movie about us and My Morning Jacket we filmed last year. We are also playing our set with Del McCoury on Friday night and then sitting with My Morning Jacket to close out their set. Saturday night we are doing a second line after the Dr. John/Meters show at 2am!!!!! Yikes Then on Sunday a Superjam with The Black Keys, Dr. John, and a list as long as yer arm. It should be stoopid! That night Band of Joy is playing which I will get to see (Did I tell you guys about Robert Plant coming to Preservation Hall to sit in with Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller and us?? The nerve of some people! I swear! But we let him [wink wink]) Gentamen Jim came down and hung out with us the night Warren Haynes came and sat in. Life is too much fun!

I am really For The Roses over Hejira but Hejira of HOSL but still HOSL has a huge place in my heart. Also I am really looking forward to a few days off in the LA area which is looking so positive for me right now as the band all wants to do things during that week and that want off. So unless there is a Beatles reunion and they are looking for a great horn section or we get booked in Dubai for one million bucks I will be there. Looking forward to a few days of music with friends and the canyons and and and and and and and......

"Money", "Us and Them" and the finale part especially stuck in my head. They had a 16 channel sound system, so the coins, cash registers, etc were coming from behind and all around. It was exciting to hear the album when it finally came out in '73. Other big first impressions were Beatles-Rubber Soul Country Joe and the Fish-Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Cream-Disraeli Gears The Who-Tommy Moody Blues-Every Good Boy Deserves Favour Heart-Little Queen Dan Hicks-Striking It Rich Grateful Dead-Wake of The Flood to name a few, and of course, FTR, DJRD, LOTC...

The more I've listened to it, the more I think it sounds like some "Clouds" era stuff, with a little "For the Roses" era thrown in for good measure. Or maybe a hybrid of "The Gallery" and "You Turn Me on I'm a Radio" Either way, I really like this song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6a_1R3w5i4 Ken - -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Notaro To: Paul Ivice Cc: joni Sent: Thu, Jun 2, 2011 8:39 am Subject: Re: Ray LaMontagne Paul, I am a huge fan of Ray's. I find his talent to be humble yet stunning at the ame time. I saw him in Clearwater not too long ago. In the days of windling ticket sales, he was sold out.

One comment said that they wondered if Neil Young and Joni Mitchell had a baby... So you're not alone in feeling this as a Joni Mitchell song. ;-) I am sure that the musicians in the crowd will express the similarities better than I can. Actually, I hear more Dan Fogelberg in Ray's voice, some Neil Young in his guitar play and musical sound, but perhaps a little influence from Joni in his lyrics.
