Attention, Bob "Coversmeister" Mueller and any interested jmdl-er,
Today, on the "Women's Music Hour" program-within-a-program, "The Morning Show" on WXPN: 1) For the Select-A-Set, a station member (i.e., contributor), mindful of the recent Grammy awards, requested the playing of songs by three significant female artists, in chronological order of their career beginnings. Joni's "Ladies of the Canyon" (the individual song) was followed by a Lucinda Williams selection and then, a PJ Harvey selection. 2) Later in the same hour, the live in-studio guest was Teri Rambo, an emerging artist who had moved into Phildadelphia a year ago. Teri performed one of her own compositions; then, the host, Michaela Majoun, with Joni's Lifetime Achievement Grammy as a point of departure, asked Teri how she became familiar with JM's music, Teri being to young to experience it "the first time around." Teri told who introduced her, the details of which I forget, and then went into an excellent rendition of "A Case of You," much like Joni's original. While I didn't retain whether there was specific mention of available recordings, there probably are; the place to find out is [EMAIL PROTECTED] At WXPN, the AAA radio station owned, but not funded, by the University of Pennsylvania, the staff loves Joni's music as much as we do. Ms. Majoun, who was the introducer at the Both Sides Now tour stop in Camden, N.J. [for the far-flung members of our community not familiar with Mid-Atlantic U.S.A. geography, Camden is right across the Delaware River from Philadelphia] sometimes refers to JM as "the goddess." Besides the Philadelphia station at 88.5 MHz, they have two subsidiary stations at 88.1 MHz, Harrisburg, Pa., (WXPH) and 104.9 MHz in the Lehigh Valley area of Pa. (evidently a "translator" station whose callsign, which would contains numbers and letters, they never announce), and the signal is carried part-time by the station at Kent High School, Worton, Md., WKHS, 90.5 MHz, when the latter is not broadcasting locally originated material. WXPN also puts its programming as streaming audio on the Web; go to www.xpn.org. WKHS had done so, but recently announced that it is suspended until outstanding copyright issues are resolved.
