Did Joni say that in WOHAM? I was relating what Sue Mingus had said at the recent Wall to Wall Joni marathon. So, has a recording of that wondrous 12-hour extravaganza surfaced yet? > The painting you're thinking of is on the back of the Mingus album and > is called something like 'Charlie Down in Mexico' and goes with the > line 'now Charlie's down in Mexico with the healers' so I always > assumed he was down there for some kind of treatment. Oh, yes, I remember now, thanks to your and Randy's mention of this. The album Mingus was never one of my favorites, although I've always liked the paintings and after hearing the Mingus Big Band perform the songs, have more of an appreciation of those now. Maybe it's time to pull out the old vinyl and give it another spin. Debra Shea
