(NJC ["Kakki" Subject: [none] Hello fellow beings in JMDL Land, I was inspired by Morten Feiring's first time message to the list today to open up my mouth and say a word or two. Also, after reading accounts of the JoniFest at Ashara's - I was determined to come out of the woodwork and make myself known. This is a little awkward, so please bear with me. I am fairly new to Wally's site, and found out about the site and Wally after reading an article about him in The Washington Post (in June '98 I think). I hope Wally is doing great given his current health condition, and wish him lots of love and healing white light to envelope him 24/7. Since my discovery of JoniMitchell.com - I checked out JMDL to learn more about what JMDL is, and what kinds of topics are discussed. So far I've enjoyed the list when it pertains to Joni, but have little patience for 1) in-house bickering and 2) Non Joni Content stuff like the Clinton Scandal for example. I regret not going to A Day in the Garden, but being a person who feels unsafe in huge crowds and expecting a rowdy crowd at that, I shied away. Now after reading everyone's accounts of the concert, I feel even more dejected and sorry for myself that I didn't go!! I will use Morten's format to describe myself. . . I was born in 1961 and discovered Joni at the ripe old age of 11. One of my older sister's use to play For the Roses while she taught me ballet exercises in her bedroom! Since that time, I have been a *huge* fan, and was blessed to see and hear Joni in concert at the Nassau Coliseum sometime in the '70's. I drifted away from her beginning with the Mingus album, but came around with Turbulent Indigo. Now I eagerly await T T T. I should mention that now I like the older albums I once rejected, and regret giving them away! I too would love a copy of the August issue of MOJO magazine. I live in New York City, so if anyone close by has details please let me know how I can obtain a copy (or photocopy). Thanks. I will talk with you again.

He is being treated to an Ethiopian dinner as we speak. (Good air--good water--good earth.) If Sept 9th is your birthday, Syndey Omarr says You will be told, "You have healing hands!" (Woooo baby, Dollinger!) Interest revolves around medicine, healing arts. Aries Libra persons play significant roles in your life, could have these letters, initial in names: I and R. ( as in Irvin and Ron?!?!?) You might be on the verge of discovering a method or machine aimed at helping the handicapped. (More parking lot spaces?) On a personal level, love relationship becomes intense, could be leading to change of marital status. (ahem.) Possible change of residence will occur during December?!?!?

Well, it was a pleasant surprise discovering that our young Mr. Chili looks more like the son of Tom Selleck rather than son of Jerry G. Something tells me that at many internet gatherings, it's often the opposite that occurs. -JulieZw "Absurdity came over me, and I longed to lose control" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1998 19:42:14 -0500 From: Mark Domyancich Subject: Re: NJC Birthday Bill-Doll inger/Chili's dilemma Isn't Syndey (Sydney???)

It'll be great I think. She finally sold out two nights. I'm happy I got tickets. I'll be alone, but that's okay. I can hook up with some other Paula fans (those precious few of us). Oh yeah..don't tell the 'rents Paula's set is at 10:00! Oh well. Of course I'll post a full review tommorow...when I get home from school. - -mariana NP: Sarah M!

Finally I get a chance to write some more. Arriving home was somewhat overwhelming, between my husband's birthday, playing a gig, and going back to work, I had a full schedule. Just wanted to express again how much I enjoyed meeting you and being a part of the Jonifest. Thank you for offering me a space to sleep in your sacred office. I did sleep very well! Thank you also for the video tapes. What a treasure. I started watching them on Monday afternoon with my husband. I got to the part where Joni was like really young on the Dick Cavett show (I believe that's his name). I was close to tears seeing this segment. I have never seen any video footage of hear being so young. I was completely enthralled. Just how she stood there singing The Fiddle and the Drum - she was already such a confident performer. Wow. During the interview part, she seemed so girlish and young, it was so strange to watch. Thank you, and all of those that make these video tree tapes happening. Also, on my way home from the Jonifest, I was so psyched because I had made a tape of the advanced TTT CD. So after I left all the Boston traffic behind and could relax with a nice quiet stretch ahead of me, I popped in my TTT tape and tuned my ears to Harlem in Havana (what a great song and arrangement), then strangely enough it sounded like a break or quiet segment and then it seemed Harlem in Havana wasn't over yet, however the lyrics were the same. I thought strange but kept on listening, when I heard the Harlem in Havana for the third time, I was struck with panic, flipped the tape and ....more Harlem in Havana. Somehow when I hit the repeat button on the stereo to repeat the album when it had cycled through, I must have hit the track repeat. Needless to say I was really disappointed. Nothing like being all ready to hear Joni's newest album and being teased over and over again with the opening track. Oh well, hearing it before its official release date does not seem to be in my stars. Thank god I had tape tree #6 which I managed to tape at Ashara's house to comfort me. Especially when I heard some of the songs that will be on TTT. Comforted by beautiful JM performances and interview, I surrendered to my fate of having to wait for TTT. Just felt like sharing my Sunday ride home experience and express my gratitude for a wonderful weekend.

It is Sydney Omarr...maybe he dabbbles in the occult on the side...maybe that's why he's so good at Bridge---Maybe he birthed the expression: "it's all in the cards." Yes, Im tab-happy, elipsis-happy too, whatever it takes to get the thought across.....It's wonderful not to be in grammar class these days... Hey, I remember when you first came on the list 2 years ago, you only used lower case and run-on sentences. And look at you now...Iowa schools are doing a wonderful job. But you've gotta know this, I only allow 'Paul I' to comment on my grammar usage and puncuation. It's a sore subject with me. Just ask my husband, unless you **are** my husband pretending to be some high school kid from Iowa. Call me suspicious, call me crazy, but that's it Mark Domynatrick/Harpua, you've revealed yourself---you're busted. There's no way you are a teenager. It's how you refer to certain subjects in your posts....and now, you mention that old has been, Jeanne Dixon, who died by the way, in 1997. Having "that" photo in the jmdl gallery doesn't prove a thing.... How do we really know it's you? Which jmdlers have you met you or talked to?
