"PazFest" was known to many of us as the JoniFest in New Orleans in 2000. The days before and after were kind of a multi-day JMDL event that culminated with New Orleans musicians doing a salute to Joni with many JMDLers thrown in for good measure as a fundraiser for the Ruth Paz Foundation.
http://www.jmdl.com/jonifest/jfno2000.cfm This thing was a wonderful tribute concert. Forget Elvis Costello! Check this out! You like chick singers? Check out Susan Cowsill. You want to hear a monster play a Greek hybrid of guitar and mandolin called a bouzouki? Check out Beth Patterson. You want a rip-roaring, wildly inventive, fun, and tasty spin on Joni? Check out the headliners, the Bryan Thomas Band. Those of us who were there will never, ever forget it. Those of us who weren't have a chance to catch a whiff of the excitement. "PazFest", a 2 CD set. Catch it while you can. Lama ps, I need a ruling from the njc community. A 2 CD set of Joni Covers is Joni Content or not?
