mags, what a beautiful memory & wonderful new thread... julius, your story was simpley riveting...astounding...it took me right there & i could see it all...this should be a novel & a movie. or at the very least a short story...you must have many more...are you doing this? i am serious...
my very first joni memory is not entirely clear...but i was a child of the 60's so i guess that is to be expected hahaha... what i do remember is listening to STAS & the first CSN record for hours upon hours in my best friends room on saturday afternoons...she had a big bedroom in a big house in the countryside of new jersey...it was down a long hall from the other bedrooms & a big stairway from the downstairs so we felt as if we were in our own little world...just floating, breathing the beautiful enchanting music... we weren't partaking in any substances...just hanging out, drawing, reading the album covers, talking, being, dreaming like young girls do...although i was already playing guitar thanks to the beatles but this new music propelled me into an entirely different world of magic...there was a quality of osmosis i remember from those days...you just instantly knew about the new records...word of mouth...it was in the air somehow... ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
