Hey Walt. I don't think so! I am on my way to SF at this moment. We are flying from Chicago to SF and will be in Marin for 2 days We are playing Marin County Fair tomorrow afternoon. Are you coming? I know Angela and Julius and maybe Kay is coming. It sure would be good to see you after all these years.

I depended on Smurph to tell me who people were at both fests. Basically, it's "face blindness", and it can be inherited or acquired, and run from very mild to complete (in extreme cases, after head trauma, sufferers can't recognize that a person *is* a person until/unless s/he speaks. Mine is inherited from my father's side -- I first read about it in a book around 1980, and had the OMG Other People Have This??!! experience. Brought it up at a family gathering, and found out that both my dad and his sister had it, too. (If you want to get a feel for the experience, take a photo of people you know and turn it upside down; the features are all there, but the gestalt doesn't kick in.) People compensate by being good at voices or at spotting physical mannerisms; I use both. It hasppened just yesterday as I was crossing Market Street (did i mention I'd moved back to Saf Francisco? Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...); someone said "Walter?" I knew exactly which person had said it, but I needed more, so i turned around and looked past him. He said, "Walter, over here!" and then I knew who he was. Reason I bring this all up is partly to ask if any other jmdler has it; but also because of a multiple Joni connection. At the SFPL yesterday, I borrowed the dvd of the first Lilith Fair (and was fairly shocked it has been 14 years). I knew all the featured artists, and was looking forward to it. When Shawn Colvin came on to siogn Sunny Came Home, my eyes were drawn to one of her backup musicians, dark, handsome, balding and with a very distinctive body language. Took me a whole minte to finally realize it was Klein. My music collection is buried in storage, and my access to the internet is, at the mo, very restricted, so i can't check -- did he play on the Sunny Came Home album; and/or, did he travel with the Fair for the whole tour? I know joni didn't much care for the Lilith concept, and I can understand her arguments -- but the participants respect for her influences and her songs was obvious from the interviews -- and of course, they close with everyone coming onstage for BYT. Did Larry have to wheedle permission to use it from Joni? I.e., was her disdain that complete thast he would have had to? Naw.... Finally, there was a big burly guy on stage several times playing a couple of different instruments, dark curly hair and a goatee who also looked familiar. Paz, was that *you*?!

Last night I went to see Austra playing live. They ended the show with a cover of Woodstock which I did not expect. I felt like the only person in the room who knew the song (although that can't be true;-) It seemed like a natural song for them to choose. It is the b-side on the single Lose It. Here is a version i found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLjYpSc_63s Last week was Dublin's pride parade. At the after parade rally there was music, performance, and politics. Gloria, the Dublin lesbian and gay choir, performed BYT. It was a great singalong. GARRET.
