Used to be 2 weeks, but I changed to the free version of Hightail/YouSendIt. The paid version also told me how many folks had downloaded the file, now I have no idea but I do hear from folks every so often so I know that some of you are. I love Barangrill as well and it's one of the few FTR tracks that seeme to be gaining in traction. It will probably never catch You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio as the most-covered song on the record but it has been done more in the last 2 years including Laurie Antonioli's version.

Good article, especially since it looks like he did some research on JM.com (especially the covers page).

Agreed, about 'Sweet Bird', Sue. That last quote in the article is practically lifted from that song. What gets me is that Joni was in her early *30s* when she wrote 'Sweet Bird'! At 61 those words 'Out on some borderline, some mark of in-between, I lay down golden in time and woke up vanishing' have gained so much meaning for me. It seems like nothing more than a short nap in the sun since I was in my 20s and the earth spins and the sky rushes faster and faster all the time. To give this post a bit of lightness, I want to say that I certainly never meant to censor anybody's fond memories of Jonifests or any camaraderie that has developed on the JMDL over the years. Someone posted a picture from the one bona fide Jonifest I attended at Ashara's in 1999 and it made me nostalgic. I know how much joy it has brought to many of your lives to be able to gather with like-minded souls in that way. Apart from other practical concerns, I'm afraid 'I'm just living on nerves and feelings with a weak and a lazy mind' in too many ways. I could have been more forthcoming that weekend in Topsfield in 1999 but, mostly because I longed in my heart to be able to get up on stage and perform and because I don't play an instrument I couldn't, I'm afraid I distanced myself. So much for hindsight. Confession time is over. Mark in Seattle - -----Original Message----- From: Susan E.
