Yes, but I see no reason why she wouldn't sanction a professional publication - with the appropriate percentage of royalties (and I'm sure she would find the book very useful herself!!) At this stage all you require is a good synopsis, section headings, and a sample chapter (introduction) for presentation. In addition to the alternate tuning tab, I'm sure you would find no shortage of respected musicians (who can usually be contacted by e-mail via their websites) to contribute essays about her guitar style and inspiration. As to a publisher, it appears that Joni's US publisher is Random House (3 book deal). They could well value this as a companion to her memoir, art book and song book. My ex-wife (and still good friend, thankfully) is a Publishing Director (Children's Books) for Random House here in London and might well be able to help me track down the appropriate commissioning editor in the States. Or Virgin, maybe, who have just published Karen's biography in the UK - I am told it is selling extremely well due to the general renaissance of interest in Joni's influence. Long may it continue!! I myself had a 20 year career in publishing - books and art archive posters - before 'jumping' into music full time 8 years ago. I get up earlier, I go to bed later, and whilst I am not (yet) a wealthy man, I feel 100% wealthier in my mind - and I'm always amazed how my quarterly PRS royalties seem to cover my financial requirements. As me old muvver has said to me on many occasions - "Courage, mon amour - le diable est mort." all the best Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 02 Dec 2001 11:51:35 -0500 From: Patti Witten Subject: Re: Time for full time Kate quoted Geothe: > "the moment one definately commits oneself then Providence moves too...all > manner of unforseen influences, incidents and meetings and material > assistance...Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Mine Street is one of New Jersey's oldest running acoustic music venues that is housed in the basement of the First Reformed Church. Funny how I never knew about it before. I'm just now rediscovering New Brunswick and all of the performing arts it has to offer. Joan Baez is performing at the State Theater there this month. The gig was purely acoustical, no mics. Some of you have had the pleasure of meeting Gregg this year at JoniFest2001. I know Paul met Gregg on the Folktrain to Saskatoon. Thanks for pointing him our way Paul ;~) Such an incredible talent.This was my first real folk gig that I've ever attended. What a sweet room. The walls were made of beautiful colored stone and brick. A very old historical church. I was delighted with it's intimate charm. I got to daydreaming about how Joni and other folkies had begun playing in coffeehouse venues like this one. I am simply enthralled by the stories we've gotten from Pat Henry Bolland (and a few others that please forgive me I can't remember your names) of those good old coffeehouse daze. Thanks for introducing me to the world of Newbieland Gregg! Gregg opened his set with George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun" He also did a wonderful rendition of "River" that was dedicated to Brie by Mags, as well as "All I Want" soon to be followed by my own personal request "Close Your Eyes" and "Sweet Baby James" by JT. Gregg also played a few country tunes and was accompanied by vocals by the lovely Maggie Anderson. It was a real pleasure meeting you Maggie! The gig was soon over and we left the church only to discover that Gregg had a flat tire (aaarrrggghhh) We hung out and watched Gregg change his tire, singing while he did it. Perhaps we can persuade Gregg to join the wanderer guitar list Sue, as he invents a lot of alternate tunings. Afterwards, Brian headed out home and Nikki came over and sang played songs for me till the wee hours of the morning. I'm a newbie guitarist and Nikki was helping me with Mr. Tambourine Man. Thanks Nikki! :~) I almost have it LOL. I lack so much dexterity in the left hand as the result of a neuro-cervical condition. As much as I love it, guitar playing presents even more of a challenge for me. That's all she wrote folks. It was so much fun guys, we'll have to do it again real soon. rose in NJ ------------------------------ End of wanderer-digest V1 #37 *****************************
