Think we all are still recovering from such an incredible show and fun after-party ;-) It was magnificent and had some new twists with the addition of Jamie Kime on guitar and Kevin Hennessy on bass. We missed Barnaby Finch this time but Hejira doesn't call for piano. Jamie is world class (and has his own Wikipedia entry;-) and has played with Dweezil Zappa, Jewel and Michele Branch. He was amazing and we all dropped our jaws when he played. His style reminded me of early Larry Carlton. Robin, Dave and Danny Campbell on drums were gorgeous perfection as usual. Dave's arrangements were wonderful. Another new twist was 3 back-up female singers on Song for Sharon and a few other songs. Those ladies are in a group that sings 40s, Andrews sisters style songs. They had seen previous Mutts shows and asked to participate in this one. They were wonderful! I had all the songs replaying in my head the next day. We had a great turn-out of the local JMDLers and Bob came in from S.C. for the show. Bob did a fantastic job introducing the band. JMDLers there (outside of lurkers we were unaware of) were Lindsay, Steve and Michele Dulson, Roch and Deanna, Dave and Kati Ganzer, Lesli, and Sue Glumac and her friend Kristin. A bunch of us booked rooms at a very nice Rodeway Inn next door and proceeded to having a fun after-party that lasted till about 5 a.m.! Some band members and other talented musicians were at the party, too, and it was all just a really great time! Wish you were there!

I don't recall his last name right now, but Michael, if you do read this, I apologize for not writing you at that time, things just got crazy. But, thought I'd try now and see what happens. Thanks a lot. Josh ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:46:19 -0600 From: Jack Merkel Subject: Robin and the Mutts Where are all the reports from the concert this past Saturday? Did I somehow miss them? Inquiring minds want to know! Was the event recorded at all? Would have loved to have been there.

Cut a boy some slack! :-) Thanks to Kakki for getting the ball rolling. Like she said, it was my honor to introduce the Mutts - thanks Dave - and I said some of my own personal history about Hejira and added a great piece from another writer that I had read last week, commemorating Joni's birthday. I'll share that tomorrow. Of course, the setlist should be a mystery to no one: Coyote Amelia Furry Sings The Blues A Strange Boy Hejira Song For Sharon Black Crow Blue Motel Room Refuge Of The Roads (Dave's fave) Robin was in great voice, particularly given the fact that she is still recovering from a ruptured ear drum and had some hearing issues with that ear. I didn't hear a single misstep vocally and she seemed to be relaxed and having fun. Dave's playing was picture perfect as always, and he was more than happy to let the guitar spotlight go to Jamie Kime, who totally tore it up on solos on Black Crow, Hejira, and others. Really killer. Kevin on the fretless bass was note-perfect, and the addition of the harmonica on Furry and the backup singers on Sharon was the cherry on top. They had a Brian Blades-ish drummer on almost every track. I was in a state of bliss and saw lots of others swaying and swinging just like I was. Dizzy's is a jet ski rental joint by day and a performance hall by night. The sound was great, but there was no raised stage so lots of us couldn't see everything we would have liked. Dave did have the show photographed and recorded so we'll see what comes from all that. The show was packed and SOLD OUT. It was a very special night, well worth the effort to fly across the country to catch. And when you throw in all the JMDLer's there (Kakki, Sue Glu, Roch, Lesli, Steve & Michelle, and especially Lindsay "Betty Draper" Moon who was a great companion and chauffeured me around and rolled out the red carpet for me.) After the main show, the band enjoyed a standing ovation which led to the encore, a beautiful Dawntreader (Robin and Dave duo) and Night Ride Home (full band). We all definitely wanted more but were uber-satisfied with what we got. Thanks to Steve I had an ice-cold 6-er of Rolling Rock ready for the after-party which went way past any kind of reasonable hour in true JMDL fashion. Sunday found me heading to Fallbrook to hang out with Dave & Robin in their lovely cottage and unwind, relax and regroup. Dave being the audiophile he is has a 5.1 system set up in the living room so we listened to the special edition of Joni's orchestrated BSN and the difference on that system was amazing. Felt like I heard the album for the first time. Thanks to all of you for making the trip an unforgettable one...many times during the trip I was thinking to myself how incredible it is that this album I fell in love with back in 1976 could lead to such an unforgettable adventure. Thanks Joni for providing the spark for so much fun and joy, thanks to Dave, Robin and the Mutts for all your many many hours of work to put on such a sensational show.

Seems like if you had the LP's, the only one you'd need was "You Turn Me On" with the "Urge For Going" B-side since that was unreleased otherwise. It's hard for me to feel a lot of sympathy for the record companies. People bought vinyl, tapes, CD's, and then even enhanced CD's. They were rolling in the bucks as we bought the same records 3-4 times. I bought a lot of 45's from groups like Elvis Costello, XTC that always had non-LP B-sides. BUT...if you had Taking Liberties, you wouldn't need Elvis' 45s...

Wish I could have been there as always but alas some of us have to work for a living and can't lead the life of a gypsy slut wandering the globe in search of satisfaction... Awesome!
