I really enjoyed Colin Harper's book - 'Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues Revival' which was published a few years ago now - - - http://amzn.to/pFDa1x > Pentangle had at "the Laurel Canyon Home of Warner > Brothers chief Mo Ostin...a drunken brunch with Laura Nyro, > Joni Mitchell, Phil Ochs and Randy Newman." As you may have heard, the original members of Pentangle - - ie Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Danny Thompson, Terry Cox and Jacqui McShee - reformed a couple of years ago, but haven't been able to play much due to Bert's cancer - http://bit.ly/pFFJRC but it's great to hear that Bert's recently been touring with Neil Young again and Pentangle played at Glastonbury in June and are at The Cambridge Folk Festival at the end of the month followed by a gig at The Royal Festival Hall on August 1st. Talk of Fleet Foxes on the list reminded me of this recent interview by the BBC's Lauren Laverne at Glastonbury where Bert talks about presenting them with an award at the BBC Folk Awards a couple of years ago and subsequently becoming a fan of their music and friendly with the band - and with their mums and dads - http://youtu.be/OkF1H6mO4Sc best to all PaulC PS The Unthanks were amazing last night! http://blip.fm/~1668u6 ________________________________________________________ On 10 July 2011 19:58, Moni Kellermann wrote: > Am 06.07.2011 02:50, Wie Steve Dulson so vortrefflich formulierte: > > Hello all! >> >> Thanks to a rave review in the LA Times, I recently bought >> Rob Young's book "Electric Eden - Unearthing Britain's >> Visionary Music.

It's great to see that Joni is up and about. I often wonder how she's doing these days and how near or far Mr G.R.I.M. Reaper is from her. He looks a way off from this picture. I don't know if it's just me, but I think Joni's Dad looks a wee bit overwhelmed in the photo. We have a good friend who reached her 100th in April and, when I talked to her a while back, it seemed that all the well meaning hullaballo around such a milestone as a hundreth birthday doesn't take into account all the loss the centenarian experiences. As our friend Eileen said 'All my friends are long dead. There's no-one who remembers all the things I do.' I can't imagine quite how that must feel. And seeing the picture, my thoughts also turn to theTea Leaf Prophecy. I wonder what it must be like to be Joni's Dad without Myrtle. Having said all this, I really hope they had a wonderful day and enjoyed the fabulous looking cake!

I think you may be right, Anita. I imagine it's very frightening to realize how old one is at some point. I just lost my last relative from my parents' generation, my Aunt Edith, who died a few weeks ago at the age of 95. For many years, she had been saying that she wanted to "go home" and how much she missed people, especially my mother (the two of them were very close and my mother died "young" for that family, at 77), and how God had forgotten about her and so on. Apparently a day or two before Edie died, she talked about how she was going on a trip with her sisters and she was looking forward to it. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Anita G > To: Rob Wh > Cc: Les Irvin ; Joni List > Sent: Sun, July 17, 2011 6:03:00 AM > Subject: Re: Joni sighting in Saskatoon. > > It's great to see that Joni is up and about.

And probably very wise, at that. It would be a diss except for the rest of the comment. It also made me think of James Taylor's song (a choinin' oin of boinin' funk.) IF CSN does a Joni cover (I think I missed that post, but my brain is full of holes, so there ya go), I hope it's not Woodstock, because they've already done that one. I'd like to hear them cover something recent - something political or ecological, maybe from the last album. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: William Waddell > To: Joni Mitchell > Sent: Sun, July 17, 2011 7:56:42 AM > Subject: Recent Posts > > That photo of Joni hugging her father at his 100th almost had me welling up. > Looking great the two of them.The Sounds interview with Graham Nash shows what > a wise old soul he is.

I guess it's finding the balance between celebration of an incredible milestone (which, of course, reaching 100 is) and acknowledgement of other things that may be in the picture,too, as they were for your Aunt Edie. She clearly missed people and I find it moving that she was looking forward to her 'trip.' These kind of experiences remind me that other times (like Christmas) are celebrated with big style and panache and everyone is supposed to be HAPPY, yet lots of people at those times also are remembering those they have lost. They don't feel happy at all. No wonder 'River' was such a Joni hit. It captured the other side of Christmas perfectly, and that deep sense of loss.

Christmas affects me both ways. It's bitter-sweet. It's good if you can ignore the hype altogether. I don't mind bittersweet. I remember Christmases past with a lot of fondness. My Aunt Edie was kind of in-and-out as far as dementia went. She could remember many things very clearly, so you'd get very good stories of my Mum's family from her, but she also had times where she was completely not herself, which is very sad, but it's a reality we have to face. She would get different generations mixed up, but I've done that myself, mixing up people from my past with one another and creating a whole new composite character. I've often thought that going senile might be a terrible thing but, if you did go senile, you'd be the last person to recognize it, so, in the end, it probably wouldn't make a lot of difference. The people who love you would know what's going on and they'd still love you, so it would be all right after all. I've seen the look that's on Bill Anderson's face on a lot of old people - a little startled, a little "WTF?" and, the older I get, the more I realize that we really have absolutely no idea how old we might look to others, and that we never reallyy feel old and we start wondering why our body isn't behaving the way we think it should. It's kind of disappointing, but there's always kind of a feeling of, "Aha! So that's what it is!" that makes it fit and make sense and not be so bad. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Anita G > To: Catherine McKay > Cc: Rob Wh ; Les Irvin ; Joni List > > Sent: Sun, July 17, 2011 1:31:32 PM > Subject: Re: Joni sighting in Saskatoon. > > I guess it's finding the balance between celebration of an incredible > milestone (which, of course, reaching 100 is) and acknowledgement of > other things that may be in the picture,too, as they were for your > Aunt Edie.
