<< I hope someone responsible and talented starts this project soon. >> Sorry, Deb...I can't take on any new projects right now! LOL! And also, I hope I didn't give the impression that discussing the detail and specifics of 'what's about who' is unseemly or irrelevant. Like another jmdl'er told me, it is gravy on top of the other in-depth discussions we have regarding Joni's work. Kakki and other Socal JMDLer's, your commentary is always very insightful as you were immersed in the LA music scene and provide so much clarity and detail! Keep it coming! Speaking of projects & SoCal rock, I'm forging ahead with our JMDL Doobie Brothers CD Tree. I received the Pat Simmons 1983 "Arcade" LP this week and transferred it to CD last night. I had not heard it before. It has a nice LA jazz/rock/soul presence to it, a little dated but then again it's almost 20 years old! (Hard to believe!) This will be on the same CD with Kakki's "Rarities" album. Disc 2 will be the two Tom Johnston LP's, and disc 3 will be a live show from the late 70's in London on their "Fault Line" tour. Depending on how the rest of the weekend goes, I may have this finished up in the next couple days. What I need to determine at this point is who all is interested in getting a copy of this 3-CD tree. I don't have a feel for how many Doobie Brothers fans we have out there... So, if you are interested, send me a private message so I can set up the proper structure for distribution. And, of course, more covers news is just around the corner... ;~) Bob NP: John Hammond, "2:19"
