Hello Everyone
I have Missed many past Digests because I started designing a new " Masseria
del Vigna" on a 400 acre ranch, a sublime property overlooking the Columbia
River.
I just brought home Travelogue got it for $ 26.99 at a local independent
versus 33.99 at Borders. But first I am making some French Roast at home and
I turn on the TV and I see this guy in Orange suede outfit singing BSN sure
enough it's a Lawrence Welk Show, the audience is full of Otis and Marlena's
dressed in there best outfits bought at Sears.
Then later on a Public Television show Judy Collins comes out and sings BSN
again. Well onto Travelogue right away I spin Amelia by the time I got to
Love I started to cry, the sublimity of the lyric's and simple score
overwhelmed me. The Introduction Horn Theme I think is a reference to Alan
Hovhaness and his composition " The Holy City" Opus 218 "1965".
Now my Christmas wish :
Amelia my daughters birth date is 1-1-1999 the tradition of starting out each
(FunFriday a grand day of visiting Book Stores Milk Shakes for lunch Toy
Stores Disney movies Etc.Etc.Etc.) is listening to my Collection of 4
Amelia's in the Trucks cassette player First up is Amelia sung by Harlap,
then Joni off of Hejira, Amelia sung by Victor Johnson and the Joni off S&L,
today she asked me to play Yael's version twice and told me its her favorite.
I am asking the Kover King to make a Super Amelia CD for Amelia's Fourth
Birthday on the first day of 2003. If any of the great artist's like Kate and
Jeff, Gregg Cagno or David Lahm could add there version to this Amelia CD it
would
make Amelia very happy.
Good night and sleep smiling with Joni's Dawntreader playing in your head.
