"Denver Colorado (AP) - After years of running one of the most beloved and respected fan forums on the web, Les Irving, a favorite son of Colorado, has stunned the community by selling the rights to the JMDL. Details of the transaction are still up in the air, but rumor has it that he agreed to sell the rights for a life time supply of mandolin strings. The new owners, the Jedi Masters Discussion List, wasted no time in putting out their first post.

I can hear now what may have influenced Joni's early, mostly unreleased songwriting. More so the guitar playing (Buffy used open tunings) than lyrically, but to me, a distinct influence for Joni - perhaps the only obvious influence." I'd be interested in other's takes on this. Here's a 3-song sampler from Buffy's first album: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8377478/Buffy1964.zip Thoughts anyone? Am I way off base?" Thanks for the sampler, Les. I enjoyed it. I think you may be on to something - certainly not off base IMO. Of the three songs in the sampler, the first (Old Mand's Lament, which I assume is an old Irish ballad) reminds me very much of an early Joni song (or perhaps parts of a couple), the name of which escapes me. (The guitar intro reminded me of Eastern Rain, which is to say, vice versa). The second song did not strike a chord with me, but the lyric from the the third cut (It's My Way) was defiantly independent and, in that sense, might well have struck a chord with Joni (Just Like Me? Born To Take the Highway?).
