Why not just take out a gun and kill poor Bob Muller . . . (Oh yeah, I forgot that Canadians don't have guns!) << Pazfest, the two-CD set of live all-Joni music recorded at the Howlin Wolf, New Orleans May 28, 2000, is an eclectic collection of Joni Mitchell music sung and played many different ways. As always with such things, I have my own personal favourites, the ones that stand out for me in some way or another. >> I have said it before, BUY THIS. It truly is wonderful. And I hear that for an extra 50 cents per 2-CD package, Michael will PERSONALLY LICK YOUR PURCHASE. Also, if you have friends who don't like Joni (and who doesn't?) they may very well like her music and words as performed by some of these great performers. And best of all, as Catherine reminds us . . . << in acquiring for yourself and your friends a copy of this excellent collection of live music, you will also be helping out a number of worthy causes, including jmdl.com, jonimitchell.com and the Ruth Paz Foundation, a foundation that helps children in Honduras receive medical treatment they would not otherwise receive. Information on where and how to order Pazfest were recently posted by Michael Paz, but you can also find it at www.jmdl.com - right on the first page. >>
