Yesterday in Rehoboth Beach on Baltimore Avenue, this very good Jazz
Guitarist performed 7-10pm. He did a couple Louis Jordan Numbers, a good
old Satchmo cover and some originals. On his break he came into the cafe
where I worked and I mentioned that he should do some Mingus. He mentioned
that he once did Goodbye Porkpie Hat and that Joni Mitchell.... That is
where I interrupted and said, YES! Her lyrics added so much to that song, I
am a big fan. Well he and his wife were at the same show in 1998 at The
university of Maryland! We talked a bit and then he said that he still does
a cover of The Jungle Line. I asked him if he could perform it and he said
he definitely would. Obviously, it was quite different from the Joni
Version, but his vocals brought out the magnitude and color of the lyrics
that Joni had on HOSL. I was so pleased that i got to hear a Great joni
cover and one of my favorite songs. Sorry, Bob I didnt have a tape recorder
to have it included in Covers Volume 23..but who knows, it may surface.
Sincerely,
Blair
