Damn Right! Sorry for the duplication. Yesterday I sent a message (below) to the list at 6:20 pm, and a PS at 6:24 pm. Yet when I received the latest Digest No. 1607, only the 2nd message was included. So, here is the 1st. - - - - - - Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: > I'm sure that The Beatles were inducted into the Rock Hall long ago. > This year, they inducted Ringo on his own right. What the hell? > Based on what criteria does Ringo deserve to be singled out? > > Jim BECAUSE! he's Ringo, and WAS a member of the Beatles! That's all the criteria needed. Ringo is also one of the best Backbeat drummers in Rock, and was a significant influence on a whole generation of drummers. Editor MODERN DRUMMER magazine, presenting the Editor's Achievement Award to Ringo "What is beyond question is Ringo's impact on an entire generation of drummers who first became drummers as a direct result of seeing and hearing him play in the early days of The Beatles. Literally hundreds of thousands of players -- including some of the greatest drummers playing today -- cite Ringo as their first motivating influence." Jim, Please read And also You may well be surprised, AND learn something.

We are in a very large multi-plex type of theatre, and in the gallery outside it, against the end wall, we see Joni Mitchell. She is hanging, as if on a hook, on the wall outside one of the individual theatre entrances. She looks quite comfortable, and is wearing across her chest a sign that says "Reserved." I think there is probably going to be a gathering where she is the star guest, and that the sign refers to this. (It is not till I sit down to write this dream report that it occurs to me it may refer to Joni's reticence, itself, which, if her public interviews mean anything, doesn't actually exist.) I say hello and Joni is, as always with her adoring public, pleasant and friendly. Later I am in a fancy car with Joni, who is driving, when she takes a route that leads the vehicle onto a road that has recently been heavily oiled. I say "Not there!" and as she continues in that direction and I am concerned about the cleanliness of the car's undercarriage but she does not seem to be, I add, "Rental car?" "No, mine," she says. "You drove all the way here from B.C.?" I say. We are in Saskatchewan, where I live. "That's right," she replies, and veers off the oiled road, and up over a long ridge of piled-up-high snow that the car will probably get hung up on. <><><><><><><><> Over the years I have had dreams (sleeping dreams, not hopes) of meeting up with Joni as if we are old friends, and I get a kick out of these. We are two gals raised in the same province, both with experience of childhood in a small town, though she is a generation ahead of me and, while unlike my mother, who was fairly conservative, also like her in some waysbperhaps the importance to them both of the "domestic" arts. Anyway, I'm just sharing this for the hell of it. Other people's dreams are often (maybe always) dull as dishwater in the recounting, and this will have been too, but ... what the hell. Anything Joni goes! Kate of the North b?b 1b.b?b 1b.b?b 1b.

I love dreams and several thoughts came to me. When the car veers off the oiled road onto the snow, is it scary or safe? Both roads sound a bit precarious to me and I wonder which road you should take, but then it's your dream...... You say that Joni and your Mother shared the 'domestic arts'. I couldn't help noticing you describe your Mother as fairly conservative and Joni has a sign on her that says 'reserved'. Any other link, apart from the domestic, there? And how come you care about the undercarriage but dream Joni doesn't?

Its a little hard for me to imagine her playing on the street with her guitar case on the ground for people to drop coins in; I almost think she'd have preferred going back to stay with Myrtle for awhile.Jeff ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2014 #435 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here:mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
