She doesn't need three octaves, and she doesn't need an unlined face and taut body. Not anymore. Her musicianship and charisma make it impossible to look away."Something's lost and something's gained in living every day." The band was great as well. I think Brian Blade is a beautiful person, and he doesn't disappoint musically. No wonder Joni keeps him around. She has pretty good taste in associates. I'm on to the Last Waltz version now. Probably the height of her physical and vocal beauty, from the perspective of marketing a pop star.

I rather like this version. I was afraid that Joni's voice was gone but not on this evidence. It's certainly more limited in range and tone than a decade or two ago but I could happily listen to this. Compared to some singers whose voices have gone - Paul McCartney, Elton John, Rod Stewart and to my own personal shock Flora Purim, this works.

I found this video to be unwatchable. I couldn't get past the first verse. The pace is so damn slow that it drags and, I am sorry to say, her voice is so far gone that she now cannot carry a melody. It hurts me to say it because I've loved Joni's voice, music and songwriting for decades (1971), but perhaps because of that I could not bear to watch this video of a sad, sad performance.

I will keep them all and read them when I can do justice to their content. Ibm thrilled for all of those who got to witness these auspicious events and know exactly how emotional it can be to be in her physical presence. Thanks very much for sharing everything with those of us who werenbt able to make it. One question I have... Is there a program other than Tubesucker for extracting and saving youtube videos? Tubesucker currently doesnbt work and Ibd like to download a couple of Luminato videos along with some others not of interest here.

Thanks for this info. I've had sinus problems for a LONG time, due to allergies. I used to have obvious acid reflux from time to time, although that has all but disappeared unless I've had a night of dissipation ;-) However, I have to say I've had all of the symptoms you mention, including the vagaries of the voice (never know when or if it will work and there are times when I try to sing and sound like a boy going through puberty - think of the pimply kid on the Simpsons), the heart arrhythmia and not feeling rested in the morning (or any other time, and being unable to ever get a good night's sleep.) In fact, I spoke to my doc about the heart and he had me wear a holter monitor for a couple of weeks (I have yet to get a report back, which probably means they found nothing, or nothing of any great consequence, and it's really not a huge issue for me, but something i've noticed more of late that I attributed to too much caffeine and/or stress.) I usually take decongestants when my allergies are being really nasty, since none of the anti-allergy things seem to work for me, but decongestants aren't really good for you either, so I only use 'em when I have to. Getting older kind of sucks but I think our lifestyles (what we eat, drink, how we live) have a great deal to do with that. - ----- Original Message ----- > From: Laura Stanley > To: Marianne Rizzo ; jmdl > Cc: > Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 10:02:47 AM > Subject: Joni's voice and sinuses > > Joni said a sinus problem has contributed to her voice problem. > > Acid reflux at night can aggravate the sinuses and cause chronic sinus problems > if not treated with a proton pump inhibitor and dietary/lifestyle changes. > > Acid reflux is hell on a singing voice.
