This time it's a trip in the wayback machine to Volume 104. Most of these are from 2006/7 but at least 1 dates back to 1973. As always, everyone wants a crack at a Joni tune, from drag queens to Hong Kong pop duets to college glee clubs to famous soul divas to soap opera stars to twangy country guys to Celtic medleys. Truly a mixed bunch, all united around paying homage to one of the finest composers of our time. http://goo.gl/beXKLt 1. Chaka Khan - Ladies Man 2. Brian Sklar - Big Yellow Taxi 3.

Phillips" Subject: Re: Deaf Woman Hears for First Time...and check out her playlist! (sjc) That's a fabulous playlist. I gasped at "Black Crow". Yes! I'd throw in some Bach (maybe the Doan Nobis Pacem from the B Minor Mass). djp Jonathan Edward Lowe wrote: > I found the video of this woman hearing for the first time through cochlear > implants very moving...and a reminder of how lucky most of us are just to be > able to do "normal" stuff.

I thought it was really terrific, with a sense of style and irony that I really enjoyed. Of course, Gaga writes simply brilliant dance tracks (well, I think so) and Joni does like to groove. Maybe, at this time of her life, having the dance hit she never had would do our Joan good. Emilie Sande may be a more natural fit, but perhaps Joni might want to party! Whatever - they both could do with eating more, but the photos I have seen of Joni more recently, she has looked much better. Not quite so gaunt.

Apparently SMOE eats the umlaut and spits out a d instead. Hm, so I guess I have to link to a page with his name, such as http://www.2intimemusic.com/wirsind/index.htm moni k. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 09:42:06 -0500 From: Laura O Subject: Carl Hiaasen Bob, Me thinks it's Chuck Mitchell who is the "rabid Carl Hiaasen fan" This is a confusing article with all the Mitchell quotes back and forth. On first read I thought the same thing..... but then I realized they probably were talking about Chuck. It seems that they interviewed Chuck Mitchell for this piece since he will be appearing at The Flick this weekend. Because the sentence above the "Mitchell" quote is: "Coming back, Mitchell said, should be an experience." Sorry to be a bubble burster! :-) Laura ************************************************************ Seattle's Best Coffee from Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SeattlesBestCoffee/app_652375534773676 ***************************************************************** OMG if I'm reading this right, Joni says she is a 'rabid Carl Hiaasen fan'? I've read all of his novels (except the children's books) - just finished "Bad Monkey" 2 weeks ago. Something else we can talk about when I run into her again.
