And being the consummate musician/producer/arranger that you are, you are just the right person to do it. Bob From: Dave Blackburn To: jonipeople LIST Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2011 12:26 AM Subject: Max Bennett interview Jonilistas, I have a phone interview with Max Bennett scheduled for Mon 11am to talk about his years recording and touring with Joni. He seems eager and ready to tell all, so, at the risk of sounding like a Rupert Murdoch subsidiary, there should be a tell-all interview posting next week. I have an invitation out to Larry Carlton also, but no reply as yet. As there is no footage of the early 70's Joni studio sessions these witnesses are what we have left to reveal about how those great records were made and who felt what about whom, and who has forgiven and forgotten! Personally, I'd lie to know more about Mr. Unsung producer Henry Lewy. Stay tuned........

That was meant to be "like to know".

I think the Mutts will need to rename themselves the Thoroughbreds, really. I was not aware you were recording this and it's not often I see the memory of a special experience canned and preserved this way, so I will treasure this link of our beautiful day together. Amazing what you can do with a phone these days! :-) If anybody else has photos or video recordings to share, please consider posting a link like Dave did, for the non-FB minority among us!

It is taking me a while to get used to my new Droid phone but I'm getting the hang of it. My biggest problem is keeping it charged the whole day. I keep forgetting to connect it at night. That is why I didn't get the rest of Harry's House, oh well! Hope you are doing great. It was so wonderful to be with all my great friends again.

For me, I would like to know what the circumstances were behind Max doing the bass on Song For Sharon and Furry, while Jaco played bass on the other Hejira tracks that had electric bass lines (yet a third bass player did the delicious acoustic bass on Blue Motel Room). What was up with Joni's search for bass players, that seemed to never end (at least, before Klein)? Did he know Jaco, and was there any rivalry in that regard ? Also, I would be interested in his comments on the other players in the Miles of Aisles tour. Apropos of that, you mentioned the you might get some input from Larry Carlton - I have always sort of wondered why Robben Ford was on that tour instead of Carlton. Looking forward to hearing Bennett's (and Carlton's if lucky) comments re that tour.

Dang so very sorry you did not come to the Kyoto- I am so in love with viola! I missed too many parties myself so ... next time I hope! Kate She's a self-described "jam slut and fiddle whore" who aspires to be the Wayne Shorter of viola. I had asked her to come to the concert with me because I thought she would appreciate the musicians. I didn't realize she was such a big fan of Joni, but she knew all the words during our 13 hours in the car together. She's planning to play in a tribute show later this summer, too. Apparently she thought she started listening to Hits & Misses in college, like I did. Her dad informed her that he had all of Joni's records and played them constantly when she was little. So I chose the right companion. Thanks for the entertainment! Rose ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2011 22:42:36 -0600 From: Walt Breen Subject: Reverend Who? Hi gang, I'm not on the web much lately, between my monitor getting fried (so I'm on a borrower, minted, I think, during the Revolutionary War) and my not having any wifi connection here worth mentioning. Been listening to Blue and Shine, and also k.d.lang's Ingenue and Watermark on a little temporary jukebox I've created (this sucker is *full*!) Quick question: Who is the Reverend Pearson mentioned in "Shine"? I'm figuring he's a prominent figure in Canadian history; and as you Great White Northerners know, we do not talk about you down here, particularly not in a history book! Even weather maps show you as a very large bay. I'm partly descended from French-speaking Canadians, and my dad was a geography freak, so I've always been vaguely aware of y'all, even before I discovered Joni and Jane and k.d. lang... Rambling again, sorry -- So who is this Reverend Pearson dude? I'm gonna blow this damn candle out...

I'm so much younger than that now. (http://tinyurl.com/3lfa6ft) 48 Years ago today, I spent an afternoon in Washington D.C. with 250,000+ other people of faith and conscience. The event of course was "The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" (or "The Great March on Washington"). In years past, I have posted the text to the "I Have A Dream Speech" delivered by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, on that special day. This year it's time for something else. Several videos have been UpLoaded via YouSendIt. I think they will be of interest to some, if not all. 1. The Big March On Washington 5 min. NewsReel Footage / 252.9 MB / 3 min. download @ http://tinyurl.com/445hlpn An interesting overview of the days events. - - - - - 2. ABC News Special_I Have A Dream 46 min. / 2.1 GB / 20 min. download @ http://tinyurl.com/3cwenfw PETER JENNINGS' - Opening Comments: The words spoken here to a crowd of ordinary Americans in the summer of 1963 moved them deeply. In those days these Americans were called Negroes. And there was no liberty and justice for Negroes in America. A hundred years after the slaves were set free, Black patience was almost exhausted. And in that season of turmoil there emerged to the world a new American Revolutionary. He came here to share his dream. Good evening, Im Peter Jennings and it is here at the Lincoln Memorial that Martin Luther King gave one of the most important speeches in American history. Today his I Have A Dream speech is taught in American schools. It helps to shape our memory of who King was. His struggle to articulate what freedom meant to American Blacks and his linking that to the American Dream insures his place in the national consciousness. But, a speech is not complete without context  not enough without knowing the time in which it was given. And in the south that summer American Blacks didnt just March their way to freedom; they WORKED their way. It was sometimes bloody and it was ALWAYS hard. - - - - - I Strongly! suggest you watch these first -2- programs before proceeding to the SPEECH in its entirety. As Peter Jennings states "a speech is not complete without context." 3. I Have A Dream_The Speech 24 min. / 1.14 GB / 8 min. download @ http://tinyurl.com/3cq2hof The complete speech and short after-speech comments from Dr. King and several others. - - - - - Contrary to what some would have you believe, Dr. King was NOT a dreamer. Born in 1929 Dr. King was raised in the the American south during the 1930's, 1940's. With the exception of his post-graduate studies at Boston University (early 1950's), he was educated in the American south. THAT experience does NOT make one a dreamer. It made you a Realist as you confronted the daily realities of life in the land of dixie. andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - s i m o n http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/ ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2011 #241 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
