Hey Joney,

Thanks for the link. The Mumbles are pretty cool lads, eh?? Very nice.

Thanks again.
Peace,
Julia

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the vid links! Funny, though I checked out the first three on your list last night!! I told you I was gonna check out John Martyn... and I did! And, I dig him! Will give the last link a more proper look/listen tonight when I have more time. Thanks again!

Peace,
Julia

Will most definitely check him out then, Dave! Thanks!! BTW... do you have a fav off Family Tree yet?? I'm still undecided... but dig the album as a whole.

Peace,
Julia

Yeah, Axel, I'm all getting your lettuce gist over here Thanks for that! And, thanks Joney for some cool vids. Yeah the Hurt one rocks... have dug both versions a number of times!!!

Peace,
Julia

Yayyy!! Thanks Davido!! Happy to see another so enjoying it!!!

Peace,
Julia

Yep, Axel... you're one fierce thread-killer!!!! Your vid recommendations slammed us into such a frenzy we couldn't carry on!! Shame on you!! Hahahaa.... only kidding, dude, still need to check out some of your links! Carry on, then.

Peace,
Julia

So... Family Tree!!!! Anyone else have it, yet??? OMG it's brilliant! I guess it's had mixed critical reviews, but I think it's the greatest thing I've heard in a long time!!! Beautiful... and so meaningful to hear previously unreleased recordings! And, even with Molly and Gabrielle singing! Gorgeou...

Okay... so kinda ouch... I mean Honey is another of those cheesy classics that I can't help but adore... kinda like Seasons in the Sun. OH, c'mon people you know you dug it in the day!!! But, Feelings... never could hang with that one. Wo wo wo feeeeeelings... WOE is right!

Peace,
Julia

Hey Tim,

Couldn't get to it from here. Maybe it's my stunted computer skills or something. Damn. Wish I could see it!! Will keep trying!

Peace,
Julia

Oh Jack, Your poem was touching and gorgeously written. And, the dedication to Paul so moving. Thank you so much for sharing it. As for the Tibetan Book of the Dead narrated by Leonard, I have it on DVD, and can also wholeheartedly recommend it. Such an incredible study on how another culture deals ...

Silly me, I didn't even know Leonard hadn't written that song. Thanks for the info, Tim. You learn something new every day, and I dig it! BTW, you two lucky ones... don't forget Nick's Family Tree is coming out in the UK tomorrow!! Well, today technically for you very soon. 9th July anyway. Peace, J...

Hey Simon, Thanks for the post! Been a while, thought this one had died. BTW, you lucky dog Nick's Family Tree will be out inthe UK tomorrow!!!! I must wait til Tuesday. Agree with you on the Tom Waits... not familiar with John Martyn's music, however. Will check out the acousticsmith link. Funny yo...

Thanks, Lizzy for the comment on my avatar. It touched me the moment I found it... and it's reportedly from 1969, my birth year... so found it to be an appropriate choice. And, while I appreciate the dialog on Jazz Police, and find it amusing. You'll never win me over. To spare you, I won't go into ...

I must agree, Laura... John is one enviable dude!! Oh, to have seen Leonard or Nick perform live!!!! Oh, my heart!!!

Peace,
Julia

p.s.

I groove on your well conceived noir idea of a vid for the song... but, still can't buy in.

Jules
