Which of her songs will you be covering? Im sure youll be doing, well, of course right now I cant think of it, the song from Wild Things Run Fast that you recorded. KHAN: Ladies Man, yes of course Ill be doing that. BLADE: Yes, thats it. I could totally imagine you singing Moon at the Window too. KHAN: Yes, thats another good one. Im doing a few others of my favorites, I mean I could go on and on and on, but some of my favorites at the moment like Hissing of Summer Lawns, Sunny Sunday and a few others. Ill keep some surprises. BLADE: So it sounds like youve gotten to know Joni a little. Have you been able to spend time with her and get to know her beyond just expressing your admiration? KHAN: Oh yes, weve spent a good bit of time together. BLADE: Ill get back to your concerts in a second, but this is fascinating since shes become rather reclusive. Whats she like one on one? I know shes quite outspoken. KHAN: Yes, very outspoken. Shes really a philosopher at heart. Shes truly one of the brightest geniuses we have. Certainly a musical genius but in every other way as well. I love to just listen to her talk and speak on current events and blah blah blah, you know, all sorts of things. Shes just so buried in, you know, whats going on. She knows everything, as you can tell. BLADE: Did you like her last album Shine? KHAN: Oh yeah, I like everything she does. BLADE: Do you think shell record again? KHAN: Well shes moved up to Canada again and I think shes kind of chilling a bit but I think shes writing. I hope so. Id be devastated if she never did another album. >>> best to all PaulC NW 'Man From Mars' by Chaka Khan - love the solo section with Mark Stephens (keys), Melvin Davis (bass) and Vinnie Colaiuta (drums) - http://youtu.be/JWP7CrvuUmE ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:52:30 -0600 From: T Peckham Subject: Re: Song for Sharon On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 2:19 PM, johnnybgoode@lineone.net < johnnybgoode@lineone.net> wrote: > What I see as the elephant in the room is did she make a > conscious choice not to be a mother again, once money was no object? > > > Assuming you're talking about Joni, she and second husband Larry Klein > suffered a miscarriage in, I believe, 1990. ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2011 #340 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
