I skipped last Saturday, just had too much on my plate (what else is new) but I'm back today with FRESH Joni covers for y'all. And a great set it is. Some mini-sets from Daphne Ashbrook, Aime Butcher (check out the workout that her band gives Hejira), and Heath and Molly. TWO covers of Richard, River in Norwegian, a 1983 instrumental BSN that was virtually unavailable until the album was re-released digitally last year. (Love it when that happens). Always love a 2GR cover - such a beautiful song. A nice start from Italy's Lara Puglia from her recently released Joni tribute disc, and lots more. A couple that are a bit rough, you've been warned. Mostly from 2014. Won't be too much longer until we're getting some 2015 material out there. https://www.yousendit.com/download/bXBaeVdqSEJwM25tcXRVag 1. Lara Puglia - Black Crow 2.

I always loved his guitar playing. Really subtle, great riffs, lots of space. Integral to the sound of the Police whom I saw play a pub in 1979, I think it was, and was absolutely astonished.

She talked about how much she loved "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" and dancing to it. She may have never admitted it, but "Shiny Toys" (your favorite) was her attempt to emulate the Andy Summers/Police sound. > > Bob > > NP: Maggie Hollenbeck and Graham Sobelman - "The Last Time I Saw Richard" > > From: Anita Gabrielle > To: Michael Paz > Cc: Susan E.
