Well, sticking to only two songs is hard but right now I'm stuck in the low Bs playing Song to A Seagull, Songs to Aging Children Come (that's a nasty one!), Eastern Rain and a new song for me Carnival in Kenora (thanks to Mark D)! I have to gargle with salt before I sing that, it's in the helium range. I also am going to practice Magdalene Laundries to try and let people know that I also play Joni's more current tunes! Don't even get me started on why I'm not going to be at Jonifest. Maybe that's why I've been singing STACC. I'm in mourning.

Not the easiest thing to do with Joni's tunings, I guess, because if you tune any of the strings too low, you lose the tone (and sometimes the string as well...) ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 16:45:26 -0400 From: Susan McNamara Subject: Re: Only Joni Open Mike at Juna's, Ithaca, NY 9/18/03 Well, on my guitar going lower than B sounds like I'm playing a rusty gate! :-) At 4:39 PM -0400 8/4/03, Catherine McKay wrote: > --- Susan McNamara wrote: > Hi >Bob! >> >> Well, sticking to only two songs is hard but right >> now I'm stuck in >> the low Bs playing Song to A Seagull, Songs to Aging >> Children Come >> (that's a nasty one!), Eastern Rain and a new song >> for me Carnival in >> Kenora (thanks to Mark D)!
