THe guy was starstruck and went in to the routine that many of us would do about how great she was blah blah (I would do this myself without a doubt). SO then Joni is able to get an extended listen to his accent and things turned a little frosty -she says - what is that accent and the guy says he is from Edinburgh. Joni - is that pub The doric Bar still there, yeah says the photographer - Joni - You know I am barred from there. I told this story to staff in the Doric Bar a couple of years back. They said - Who is Joni Mitchell? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1917#post-20120 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 17:38:10 +0000 Smudge 20120@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It should automatically be set to "11" ;-))</p> <p>Edited to add, nothing to do with Christmas but some who like loud may also like this most excellent cover of the Pirates of the Carribean theme ;-)<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ghTmEQn1w" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ghTmEQn1w</a></p> <p>Ooh ooh!

When the manager suggested they were a bit rowdy, a punch was thrown by someone in the group and the lot of them were ordered out. Perhaps it was the first time Joni had heard the time-honoured phrase: ''You're barred!'' Some time later a large group of Americans came in to dine at the Doric and when the manager asked how they had heard of the establishment, he was told: ''You're in a guide book for throwing Joni Mitchell out.''

Her partner was unpleasant to staff there apparently.<br /> We went to see here live at the Playhouse around the time of <em>Wild Things Run Fast.</em> A great show.</p> <p>I <strike>hate</strike> dislike Santa songs. Except of course Eric Bogle's <em>'Santa B**** Claus'</em>. This is not very pc but neither is the whole shop til you drop festive mania!</p> <p>To get back to regaining the calm you need at this stressful time of year then <em>Liszt's Scherzoso + Carillon from Weihnachtsbaum</em> is good. Rhondda Gillespie plays solo piano of great beauty. </p> <p>If you want something to outrock AC/DC then try Frank Zappa's San'Berdino. Lowell George was in this band I think. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1917#post-19971 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:58:46 +0000 recombodna 19971@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN8n99BUO-A" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN8n99BUO-A</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1917#post-19968 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:48:27 +0000 chdot 19968@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"My favourite dysfunctional Christmas song"</p> <p>One of mine too. </p> <p>You can imagine this song being winter, "I went shopping today for jewels" <em>isn't</em> Christmas related!</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmzN1p5q2sY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmzN1p5q2sY</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1917#post-19965 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:45:09 +0000 kaputnik 19965@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think you are forgiven (min / stepdoh) for choosing ones that pass the "not from a bad office christmas party test".</p> <p><strong>Belle &amp; Sebastian</strong> - fox in the snow </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1917#post-19960 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:38:39 +0000 Min 19960@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Can i break the rules by putting a christmas song in, but an odd one.
