Hello Larry & music fans.

Never got over the fact that Nina Simone recorded Jonathan King's 'Everyone's Gone to the Moon'

Von Ronk-what a crazy cover (love it!)

He recorded one of the first covers of Both Sides Now
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:13pm
Brian in UK:

Have the Cowboy Junkies ever recorded a Joni song? If so, they would give it a different take.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:15pm

I don't know, but I agree

Smashing! It's Tim Curry.

Mike Sin:

This Nick DeCaro LP has some great moments (I only heard some of it within the past few years), but whenever I look at the cover, I just want to ask, "Can I please get a table for two by the window?"
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:19pm
Sem:

Played the grooves off this album. God bless Joni for this opportunity for Curry to strut his dramatic stuff.

I only knew Tim Curry as the voice of Nigel Thornberry lol.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I forgot about that!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
Brian in UK:

The album cover as opposed to the later CD of Blue was so important to emphasise the blueness of it all.

Christmas classic here in the great white north.

River is the perfect Christmas song for those who feel depressed.

Funky16Corners:

I think people often overlook what an amazing musician she is (in addition to the singing and composing).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - Yes, very sad
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:43pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, do you ever play around with running orders of top notch albums? Personally I trust the artist & do not consider it.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:45pm
Funky16Corners:

I do not, for precisely that reason
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:50pm
Funky16Corners:

It's important to note that these amazing-sounding albums are self-produced
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
Sem:

Tom Scott, my gods.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
Funky16Corners:

He's really the secret weapon on this album
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Brian in UK:

Blue was the start of the change & For the Roses kicked it off.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:57pm
Funky16Corners:

There are things happening on For the Roses that manage ro be seismic changes yet completely subtle and worked into the background.

Perfect set for a perfect afternoon!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:59pm

Larry, having a look at his involvement w/ stand-out artists' albums means packing a lunch. en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:00pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey fred!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:01pm
Funky16Corners:

@Sem - I used to think of his as just another studio musician, but he really brought serious contributions with him
Avatar 🥁 4:03pm
Erica:

Tom Scott's more than a studio musician Larry, he was the leader of the LA Express and released smooth jazz albums. He was also one of the Blues Brothers.
Avatar 🥁 4:04pm
Erica:

Didn't appear in the Blues Brothers films I'm afraid.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:04pm
Funky16Corners:

I get that. I just meant that when I was a kid, he was just another of a long list of names on countless album jackets
Avatar 🥁 4:06pm
Erica:

Oh I understand Larry. I used to think animation showcase shows were just shows with generic cartoon pilots until I realized that the purpose of them to find and greenlight the next big cartoon series.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:07pm
Brian in UK:

Never really enjoyed high pitched early Joni but this album is just so right.
Avatar 🥁 4:07pm
Erica:

(i.e. The Powerpuff Girls, The Fairly Oddparents)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:08pm
Funky16Corners:

This album is perfection. It's over before you know it.
Avatar 🥁 4:08pm
Erica:

The point is I get the perspective you're coming from Larry. You don't learn the truth about something until you're older.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:09pm
Jeff Ash:

Late to the party, but good afternoon from Wisconsin, where the fall colors are turning and the first Canadian cold air mass of the season arrives tomorrow.
Avatar 🥁 4:10pm
Erica:

Help Me and Free Man in Paris, my two favorites from Court and Spark. They have that 70s soft rock sound I like.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:10pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Jeff!
Avatar 🥁 4:10pm
Erica:

Hi Jeff.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:10pm
Funky16Corners:

The first time I put my hands on this album, I think I played this one three or four times in a row
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:10pm
Brian in UK:

Erica we never had the access to be able to understand years ago. Now us & the artistes are older.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:11pm
Funky16Corners:

Electric guitar by Jose Feliciano!
Avatar 🥁 4:12pm
Erica:

We can thank the internet for that Brian.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:13pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, I did that with Ron Sexsmith's 'Strawberry Blond' track. Might have been six times!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:14pm
Funky16Corners:

It's one of those songs that taps into all of my audio pleasure centers at the same time
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:14pm
Brian in UK:

Erica, it used to be a process to find about some group or other. Now it is there on a plate.
Avatar 🥁 4:18pm
Erica:

Something we take for granted Brian.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:22pm
Brian in UK:

River - Poignant?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:25pm
Funky16Corners:

That'll do it, Brian!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:32pm
Funky16Corners:

That is Joni singing and playing piano with Paul Horn
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:32pm
Brian in UK:

Tom Bombadil was completely written out of the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings films. He should have sacked his agent twice over.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:34pm
Funky16Corners:

As a fan of the books, that really bugged me
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:46pm
Sem:

A loving look at the other-worldly song writing skills of JM, reminding us in subtle ways that we are stardust, all of us, through and through.
Thanks, Larry. Later, all.
