Steve, I loved the quote you cited from Leopole Stokowski. +ADw-A painter paints
pictures on a canvass, a musician paints from silence.+AD4- Man can silence be a
blank deafening. +ACI-Looking for some sweet inspiration, oh well.+ACI- I've taken
to playing the Beatles with that Joni chop chop clunk strum. Incongruous?
The problem with the Fab 4 is that they are so-o-o-o definitive. Lennon +ACY-
McCartney. Even above Jo... However, Penny Lane a la Joni has its moments:
if I may say so mysel-i-f. Has to be heard to be unbelieved. It's more than
interesting to hear top pops doing covers. Annie Lennox's Medusa seemed to
make the covers all her own. I can't sing +ACI-Wait in Vain+ACI- any other way now
than AL's. Oh to hear Joni doing something more contemporary than the pseudo
revival of BSN. She didn't bring anything new to them there songs IMHO. I
love BSN btw :) But hey Joni's getting on. 57 next 7th. She's no pop
chicken. The woman has given us so much. I wanna state that with undying
affirmation. I'm merely going into the second conditional tense and wishing
she'd surprise us all by not doing +ACI-only good songs were written 50 years
ago+ACI- (as if she's unaware of that), if she has to cover at all, but doing
some recent classics. I've gone way off the original point of writing this
post (which was nuttin anyway) so excuse my rambling rantings. Joni is never
featured on Fantastic Female type albums or Modern Diva compilations, much
to my chagrin, Yet again I feel she shouldn't be. Above that and all that.
Joni paints loud from silent canvasses. There's a lot of painting by numbers
going on these days and our Joni seems to have a 1,2, a 1,2,3,4 out-numbered
them all. Just felt like posting. A genuine junk male from a juvenile.
Who is Leopole Stokowski anyway?
Willy the Shake
Neither a borrower nor a lender be - f'cough
NP - fave of the noo +ACI-Otis and Marlena+ACI- under Foster Gra ......
Have yoursel-v-e-s a great Sunny Sunday.
Any Joni relevant to Hello'ween?
