Ode to Janis Joplin review by Jessie Beagle
Reviewer: Dorothy Jesse Beagle, playwright, pianist, poet, songwriter-ODE TO JANIS JOPLIN by Judy Joy Jones was among most powerful poems heard at my eclectic Berkeley,CA Whole Note Series. When Judy performed ODE TO JANIS JOPLIN it brought the veteran poets to their knees. Guest artist Julia Vinograd who has a poem on ODE TO JANIS JOPLIN is a legend in her own time, and one of noted SF Cafe Babar poets. Judy is inspired by spiritual beliefs that defy the usual church syndromes. - --Reviewer: Dorothy Jesse Beagle; playwright, pianist, poet, songwriter
Ode to Janis Joplin review by Celeste Ray
Judy Jones is an artist extraordinaire, a visionary poet and painter with a compassionate heart and mind. She expresses in this CD the apathetic viewpoint of the general public towards the homeless. In a picturesque and yet very real interpretation -- Jones calls forth for all peoples of the earth to be aware of the plight of the homeless and to reach out to those less fortunate..to be more human! --Reviewer: Celeste Howard Ray; composer/musician/performer
