Thank you so much for the trivia, Bob!  This is a good start and a big help.  I 
started trying to write some trivia and I could only remember something about a rain 
king for BSN and the thing about the inspiration for Man From Mars being one of Joni's 
cats and that Joni didn't go to Woodstock.  Trivia really isn't my forte!  I'm sure 
the band will be very appreciative for this and any other bits of trivia that anyone 
here can think of.

This is of course really excellent advice!  I'm not sure what their computer situation 
is or if they will have time to do a lot of research before they begin their scheduled 
concerts, though, and I think they were hoping to save some time by asking me (and 
also effort, because they are probably most comfortable reading things in German and 
probably find it difficult and tiring to search through all the available English info 
for the specific trivia gems).  Since I'm not that great at trivia and I know there 
are folks on the list like you who remember all the little bits and pieces, I thought 
I would try asking on the band's behalf.

So, thanks to you Bob, we've now got a few bits and pieces for the songs:

Both Sides Now
This Flight Tonight
Woodstock
All I Want
Big Yellow Taxi
Free Man In Paris
Man From Mars
How Do You Stop

Can anyone add to the above, or supply some info for these:

Raised On Robbery
Amelia
Black Crow
Coyote
Dreamland
In France They Kiss On Main Street

> guess I'm anxious for them to record! :~) 
> You should be a part of this group as you're

It would be kind of hard to be in the band because they live far away from Vienna, but 
of course I would love being in a band with people who love Joni's music as much as I 
do.  Maybe I should try to start such a band in Vienna!  

In any case, I hope I will be able to go to the show at Lafnitz.  If I do go I might 
be able to sing one or two songs as a guest, and I will take pictures and send a 
report to the list.

Thanks again, Bob.
