Here's a reply from John Mackie, of the Vancouver Sun:
"Mackie wrote:
> Hi Paul, sorry if she offended you. It was a transcript, that's what she said. I decided to leave it in rather than censor it. I thought it might offend some people, but in Hawaii, not Cleveland!
> Peace
> John Mackie"
I recommend a cessation of hostillities, before we all overflow of our Teapots over this. I'm beginning to agree with Chunky Monkey and several others. Too bad the majority of readers will get the wrong idea, but a few may choose to investigate slack key and learn there are more flavors of music than "Major Label Vanilla." Mr. Mackie probably won't bother to investigate.

| A friend once told me that it is useless to battle ignorance, there is just too much of it. Share what you know and keep yourself open for more learning. I am forever plumbing the depths of my own ignorance. "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and confirm the suspicion." |

Maybe she didn't mean it that way...
taken out of context?
It's so hard being a gift, especially when you're all wrapped up in the Star makin' machinery.
So,
Q: What's a LA/Honolulu Rock Star's favorite tune?,
A: "My Ego Flies on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday..."
Sunday is, of course, a day of rest for Guitar Gods and Goddesses.
That would be a good day for the rest of us to sneak in and scrub their bathrooms.
And even though I'm not a Fiddle God (or Goddess), I'll share my slack key, Italian police, Colorado punk, fiddle tuning:
Db, G, Db, G, A, E ... repeat ... D. C. al (I'm so) Fine.
It's public domain now.

WOW!!!! I'm still laughing at the JM comments, don't think I can add much more to the argument, but I do find it quite humorous. Guess she won't be on the next Slack Key Volume IV...darn! Best to put her all behind us, and move on.
Those who know, know.

Ooh, that's from one of my favorite songs, "Clouds (Chamber Bowls)"....
And don't forget this timeless lyric from the harmonic canon: "C'mon Harry get out your cane, and I'll put on some kithara...."

It's right at the end of this phrase, naturally. |

| Actually, if you ask him, I will assure you that Al Gore will tell you that, along with the Internet and many other things, it was he who invented slack key music, not Joni Mitchell. |

=============================
Yeah, it sounded that way, didn't it? OK. Let me re-phrase. Al Gore would say that he, rather than Joni Mitchell, invented slack key music. Mo bettah now. |

I wish to apologize...
Joni was a part of a Laurel Canyon scene I wished I'd been part of...Star Smoking youth/creators of new paths amidst the craziest times...sorta like now...
creating legends...but really just creating life and poetry in motion.
and for her, her art always shows through, whether through the beauty of her original poetry and song in her youthful folk style (using tunings), her grand leap into Tom Scott and Jazz forms, art, strong, intelligent political beliefs, and always finding artistic, poetic and musical innovations and new ways to illuminate an aspect of truth.
of course, we all get taken out of context, just I'm lucky enough to stay under the radar.
or is it off the radar?
till now.
and, of course, Lawrence is always clever, funny and within 20 ft. of the hoop/ ears.
Aloha truly,
fan of: Square roots people, and of Canadian blend. |
