Greetings and Blessings to You All,

I wouldn't have been "allowed" to go to Woodstock, being brought up by a conservative Famous Naval Officers Family, even IF I was of age..., and I have grown into being a rather non-conventional, if not actually somewhat... rebellious as an adult...I say in a good way...like refusing to believe people are purely monetary, or evil, or corrupt, I like to believe the best of people unless proved otherwise...
A Fiancee in the late 1970's drove me up to see THE PLACE where Woodstock Happened years before I arrived, and now here I am, quite un- expectedly "Wailing Out " Tribute to Janis Joplin: "UTTERLY AMAZING(!)" say the experienced Recording Studio Owners, Sophisticated Professional Musicians, Janis Joplin Fans, World-Travelled Destination Membership Resort Visiters and Guests of a elite, Southern California Private Resort,... for the past year! Audiences have been literaly freaking out! People have heard me sing and thought I WAS JANIS JOPLIN's RECORDINGS!!!!..
It was me ... this fact has BEEN CONVINCING me to write to your group,...Please pass this info on to the ReUnion Organizers, as Preparation is at hand... and time running short...the time is brief...I had occasion to meet "Nancy Nevins formerly of Sweetwater", on Easter, and am preparing to accomplish my most recent but heartfelt goal to arrange an opportunity to Present the Absolute BEST JANIS JOPLIN, If SHE"d Gotton Sober and Lived...for the 2009 40th Year Reunion!
I am not currently signed with anyone, My two song Demo is in Consideration with "Crooners Unlimited" The Demo is awesome,... and my fan's say I AM THE BEST >>>> so "doing" the Greatest Janis Joplin, I AM SURE IS ONE of the THINGS High on their priority list! I have done my homework, checking out the competition, and frankly, I AM THE BEST!
Say you ignore this note, well, The sky won't fall in but I have seen alot in my many years as a Navy Brat, living in over 40 places, right, well hook me up., I promise YOU...to keep you on the edge your seat,... You WILL BE Believing You are hearing Janis Joplin Herself and I have the impression of her Down as well, with Style and Spirit, YOU WILL BE hearing her NOW.... I am waiting on the edge of MY seat to hear from you!
I am so confident that I will say,... It may prove embarrassing later,... when the organizers find out thru my upcoming agents and others that they should have contacted me earlier, as Airplane Flights need arranging and stuff's gotta get done quickly to pull this off...Again,...My offer bares looking into...I realize this intro is in the scheme of things, "bizarre" but believe me, I am a sane, I'm a 51 year old, attractive, 14 1/2 year sober woman of Alcoholics Anonymous, and what I say is true. I actually became acquainted with Mr. Joe Cocker, back about in 1980 or so... who I met personally, at his manager's Mr. Ross's home in Mulholland, back over 20 years ago, when neither one of us was sober, nor the other 20 people in the room,...following a Garden party off of Sweetzer, ... ask him, if he remembers... he may remember, when he sees me in-person, ... nothing very unusual about the meeting , we were all partying...I am sure we supposed to meet again, to share our sobriety stories...so many of our youth are dying from overdoses, I feel strongly that The Message of Recovery is Topmost among Personal/Government/ and Social Freedom, Today, I am a contributing, straight-forward, honorable, generous, enthusiastic, and as a seasoned, experienced performer, since an early age, and now in my 51st year...quite competent, in fact a talented individual who has been promoting others for years...and my interest and contribution to the upcoming Woodstock ReUnion Tour has "Definate Commercial Considerations." I have been in many facets of the Arts and Entertainment Business for many years and I am as amazed as anyone to find myself belting out Janis joplin~If She'd gotton Sober and Lived.......Gotta Give It a Try.....Sincerely Sparrow LaPoint (aka Laura Elizabeth (Wilson) LaPoint

Humm, perhaps the moderators here would see fit to delete a comment from someone who hides behind a mask of criticism and not even being here with their real name; ''dodging'' as it were...

At least I can and choose to be REAL, here and everywhere else...and if you heard me sing , your mouth would drop open...In your case... flies would come OUT...
The whole Hippie movement was about being real, loving and peaceful. Being real, is somewhat about knowing the truth of things, and I believe being yourself, TRULY... this place on the internet is bringing together like-minded people about something so personal as to want to particiate in this years WOODSTOCK REUNION, and sharing stories about that, and for people who were there or wish they could be at this one...perhaps ''Artful Dodger'' can sing instead of me...go for it...due to your comment I felt embarrassed by my own openness, foolish as that is...but I choose to be vurnerable, I take risks, don't hide behind a false name, because of fear, and bravely challenge MYSELF, and that my friend ''artful dodger'' is why I CAN BELT OUT JANIS today, at 52and sound more like her than anyone else so far!

I want to BELT OUT JANIS JOPLIN, THAT BADLY, to ut myself out there to HONOR HER MEMORY, and convey her feelings of loneliness and desire for love the way she touched the hearts of generations of fans crossing time!

I tell you what if the 60s were about anything it was about being yo self and do your own thing as long as it does not infringe on anyone elses. Look at some of the old pictures of people partying on Haight, it was a bunch of freak, just enjoying life seeing who could look the most bazaar be the most bazaar, being who or what you felt like for the day the hour or the freaking rest of your life as I have never change my ways since the 60s you might say I'm stuck there but you see my friends the 60s were not just a spot in time but a frame of mind that some of us still believe and live. So sing on Janis keep her memory alive in all of us.Hope to see you at the Woodstock Reunion. GRLarrison
