And thanks to Marion for volunteering to help find a venue. This means that it is probably a 50/50 for Denmark/Southern Sweden. With 13 people (including spouses and myself; make it 14 if Jim decides to come which means there will be lap steel) saying already now that they would like to go, I will go ahead with it and let you know when I have more details. I think that over time more people will sign up as they know more about their plans for 2013. The next step will be to find out if it should be the second or fourth weekend of August, as the third weekend (around 24 August) is not an option. I will keep spreading the invitation. If anyone else wants to vote, the poll is here: http://doodle.com/kzwf2nfwuhhzb2dk It's along time from now, but yay! I'm looking forward to it!

I loved his take on recording with Joni, and how in control of the process she was. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall while she was recording vocal overlays. I find those arrangements probably the most amazing in her catalogue, especially on Court and Spark. I was also fascinated by his take on The Joni Letters. I really love this album but to tell you the truth I felt myself nodding about Herbie's tinkling. Don't get me wrong, I love Herbie Hancock and think he's a genius but his interpretations of Joni's melodies changed the songs. On first listen I had to check the liner notes to see what song he was playing, especially Sweet Bird. I only say this in the sense that I can see how Max Bennett would feel that way but I still think the Joni Letters is a wonderful album and a great tribute to Joni (and also deserved the Grammy). Again great job Dave.

Then Robin found what he had posted on Amazon about it so I printed that in lieu of quoting his interview remarks. He did tell me that Joni herself was not at all pleased with the album either, but he wasn't sure why, so I didn't want to include gossipy speculation or second hand hearsay. I plan to interview Henry Lewy and Jaco from beyond the grave next. We need to form a circle and hold hands by candlelight for this to work.

Anita ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:18:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Gross Subject: Eleanor McEvoy (Joni influences run deep) sjc http://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/2011/09/13/eleanor-mcevoy-alone-a t-birmingham-glee-club/ Acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Eleanor McEvoy was not even aware she was recording her new album when she put down the tracks to the new release, Alone. And when the resulting songs made their way to music executives she didnbt really want it to go any further. As it is, the resulting album, featuring just McEvoybs pure voice and whatever instrument she had to hand at the time, has had music critics purring with delight. Now the singer is on the road to promote the new release, her ninth album, and calling in at Birminghambs Glee Club and The Ironworks venue in Oswestry. McEvoy takes up how the album came about. bIt sort of came about by accident. I had a bit of a hole in the last English tour I did and there were five days off I hadnbt expected and rather than just fly home and come back again I just thought, well, rather than go to another hotel or a B&B I rang a studio I do quite a lot of work at in Norfolk, and said, look rather than paying for a B&B or a hotel can I just throw you a few quid for a few nights and can I stay in one of your cottages? bWhen I got there the studio was empty so the guy who runs the place said bIf you want just go in and play your stuff . . .b So while I was doing that the engineer was doing nothing and said bDo you mind if I record?b I said OK, so he did and that was it. I just spent a few days with no plan of doing anything and I left and I didnbt even take a tape with me. bBehind my back the guy who had done the recording called up Mick, who runs the record company, my partner, and said bLook, shebs got to release this. Youbve got to listen to it.b Behind my back again they played it to the English distributor who also said bYoubve got to release itb.b With just McEvoy in the recording booth, the album features her voice and one instrument on each track, a mixture of McEvoy favourites of old like A Womanbs Heart and Youbll Hear Better Songs (Than This) and some new songs, like the beautiful Harbour, plus her take on P.F. Sloanbs Eve of Destruction. bItbs mostly electric guitar but therebs piano as well. And I play bass on one number actually b Whatbs Her Name? b just because it was there and I had just written the song. Itbs not something youbd ever do for a recording. You wouldnbt just pick up a bass, sing a song over it and then put it out on a record.b But she agrees that there is a direct freshness about the mostly one-take recordings. bWell I hope so. I canbt quite get my head around it,b she says. bIbm really shocked by the reviews because itbs almost against my better judgment that itbs been brought out, you know? But Ibm delighted, obviously.b Although she is mostly identified as a folk artist (more of which later), McEvoy insists she has a wide taste in music, from traditional Irish to rock and classical, having been a session and orchestral violinist. bI was always into a big variety of music but I grew up in an odd kind of situation where I was educated in Gaelic,b she explains. bI was very much into traditional Irish music from a very early age but my sister was substantially older than me and was into Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and people like that and my brother, who was older than me as well was into Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin and all of that and my dad was a bit of a Mahler freak. bSo I had Mahler in one room, Joni Mitchell in another, Led Zeppelin in another and then I was interested in pop, so I was listening to Slade and Sweet and people like that.b So how would she define her own sound? bI say folk. But the folk DJs wonbt play me because Ibm not folk enough. Some of the folk festivals wonbt book me because Ibm not folk enough. I think itbs because of the electric guitar, they see that and say bOh, itbs not folkb. bBut Ibm singing about real life. We donbt have dowries, we donbt all wear shawls. Itbs 2011, Ibm writing about meeting people on the internet, about people with eating disorders, about anorexia. I write about stuff thatbs real and relevant, and isnbt that folk music?b We end by talking about one particular memory she has of playing the Midlands. bI better not say the venue in Birmingham but you might gather it was an upmarket sort of place. They made me sign a form, first of all that I wouldnbt take any water on to the stage, then they made me sign a form to say I wouldnbt make use of a naked flame and also that there would be no nudity during my performance. Thatbs the first time Ibve ever had to sign one of those.b So is she not tempted to break all three rules this time round? bOh this time I might just do it!b she laughs. By Ian Harvey now me: I've been a fan of Eleanor's since the mid '90s, having met and talked with her a few times at venues here in the Philadelphia area, mostB recently in 2002 where my ex got to meet her. She's currently touring Great Britain in support of the new album. She'll also be playing her native Ireland in November. Check her out, you won't regret it. http://eleanormcevoy.net/ take good care, Brian B - ----------------------------------------------------------- Politicians and diapers both need to be changed often.
