Subject: Joni Letter to the Editor in new RS
Before I go out to tackle this week's leaves (my 1920's-era home is surrounded
by oaks, dogwoods, and other assorted trees which rain down billions and
billions of leaves, as Carl Sagan would say), I thought I'd share this letter
printed in the new Rolling Stone (Will Smith on cover):
"Some may bristle to hear Joni Mitchell complaining about being "underrated"
and boasting about the "caliber" of her work [RS 798]. But her work has been
marginalized for two decades. The industry's dismissal of post-Court and Spark
Joni is one of the true tragedies of rock.
Don Breithaupt
Bolton, Ontario"
Well put, Don!! My own gut feeling is that while RS appreciates Joni, they
realize she doesn't fall into the "it's hip, it's hot" category anymore. Plus,
I don't think they liked TTT, hence, no review instead of panning it.
Now, on to the yardwork ;>(

FTR was, I think, the fourth Joni album I ever heard. I discovered it in a
friend's record collection when I was house sitting in Plentywood, Montana
(within the vast and bleak and godforsaken paprika plains). I've been
thinking the album always reminds me of winter -- probably because it always
seems to be winter in that part of the world -- but with michele's reference
to "Banquet," I just realized that it truly reminds me of fall and
Thanksgiving.
"Banquet" is such a perfect song for Thanksgiving ... it reminds me that I
have much for which to to be thankful, especially that I am healthy and well-
fed ... while others go hungry ... "Though there's plenty to share."
In San Antonio we have the annual dinner hosted by the Jimenez family, which
feeds thousands for free on Thanksgiving ... but one day a year is not enough
... That anyone should ever have to go hungry in America, the wealthiest
nation on earth, makes no sense to me.

A short while ago there was some discussion as to whether this was a
*winter* album for some folks. Since it was released at the beginning of
the winter season, I can see how it might influence some that way. Just to
note ... Hejira has always reminded me of the winter months. Like now..

Thought I would share a message I received today:
I received a telephone call today from an individual identifying himself as an

stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9), zero (0), the pound

Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing 90#, you
give the requesting individual full access to your telephone line, which
allows them to place long distance telephone calls billed to your home phone
number. I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many
of the local jails/prisons. I have also verified this information with UCB
telecomm, Pacific Bell, MCI, Bell Atlantic, GTE and NYNEX. Please beware.
DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested that I

Subject: Hancock's "Gershwin's World"
I just picked this new album up last night, and everyone here needs to get
it and not just because Joni sings two of the songs. This is probably the
best thing Herbie's done in a long time and he himself calls it his most
challenging project ever... it really hangs together well as a concept
album (10 of the 14 songs are by Gershwin, and the other four tracks are
selected because of the composers relationships to Gershwin and the
particular tunes spell that out well.) I urge those of you who get this
album to listen to the entire thing in sequence, rather than just skipping
to the two Joni vocals, because I found that with such disparate styles
and instrumentations on the same album that the sequence flows together
perfectly and wouldn't flow well if played in another order, I think.
What I mean by this: three of the tracks contain a 3-part horn front line,
two are long and feature Herbie solo with an orchestra, one is a funky
number with Stevie Wonder (who also plays harmonica on Summertime which
Joni sings) two feature some African percussion, one is a piano duet with
Chick Corea----- but the beginning of each track sounds good following the
end of the previous track, and it's obvious to me that Herbie put a lot of
thought into the sequencing.

I bought 'Blue Light Til Dawn' mostly on the recommendations of people
on this list. I have to admit I've only listened to it once or twice.
I need to give it a few more listens. But I have to agree with Bob,
here. By slowing it down, this version of 'Black Crow' takes all of the
restless, agitated rhythm out of the song. It doesn't work for me. Can
someone explain why they like it so much? I think Cassandra Wilson has
a wonderful voice and I like some of the songs on BLTD. I'm just not
really crazy about her cover of 'Black Crow'. It's great that she did
cover it, though.

I think of FTR as a transitional album. Joni had just crowned the first
phase of her career with the stark & stunning beauty of 'Blue' and then
she was ready to move forward. She began adding more colors into her
aural paintings. FTR has the first contributions of Tom Scott adding
some woodwinds here & there and we hear a string section on 'Judgement
of the Moon & Stars'. Vocally she's falling back down to earth out of
the helium-induced stratosphere of 'Blue'. The voice she will pretty
much use for the rest of her career is beginning to emerge. Lyrically
it's obvious that she has survived the emotional crisis she expressed so
painfully in 'Blue' and that she has become stronger. 'Woman of Heart &
Mind' is probably the most pronounced statement of her newfound
strength. Other songs reveal a lingering hurt & vulnerablity (See You
Sometime, Lesson in Survival, Blonde in the Bleachers, Electricity) but
now they are tempered with a more balanced, philosophic acceptance. As
she said later in 'Song For Sharon', 'I do accept the changes/at least
better than I used to do'. If 'Let the Wind Carry' me is a forerunner
of 'Facelift', then 'For the Roses' is definitely a forerunner of
'Taming the Tiger' with Joni's 'teeth sung in the hand that brings me
things I really can't give up just yet.' After making FTR Joni is
poised & ready to dive into the full-blown production of 'Court & Spark'
and then 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns', 'Hejira', 'DJRD' and finally
'Mingus' which will be the cap of her next phase.

I was thinking about this this morning as I was taking my walk. I have
a bad back & I go for walks every morning if weather permits. It seems
to help. Anyway, I was thinking about Joni and playing the piano and I
wondered if sitting at a piano bench, hunched over a key board is
physically difficult for her with her post-polio related back problems.
A piano bench has no support for the back. I think if I had to sit at
one for very long I would certainly pay for it later.

Subject: Henry Lewy
I've been tuning in for a while now and have not heard any mention of
Henry Lewy, Joni's great and faithful "more than an engineer" for all her
albums (I think) until around "Chalkmarks." I miss him a lot--he had an
incredible way of recording Joni, and mixing her work. Listen to "Two
Gray Rooms" which Henry worked on, compared to the rest of "Chalkmarks."
He would always get her voice so clear, direct, personal, natural. Dan
Marnian and LK make her voice sound more electronic somehow.
I know Henry had a stroke around 1990 but I haven't heard anything about
him since then. Anyone know?

second, you guessed it catch up with one of my other obsessions, Joni
and the list. It was so wonderful that the first thing I see is a post
from Marian about getting to meet Joni, what a treat. I wish I could
have caught one of these shows, but it was just not meant to be for me.

find kakki's & rob jordan's enthusiastic recommendation of jimmy webb's album
"ten" something or other, but it was not available - so i bought mr. bishop,
as his work frequently reminds me of j. webb's. in the extensive liner notes
he talks about working with henry lewy and mentions the work lewy did with
joni mitchell in several places.
these liner notes were the first i had heard of mr. lewy since seeing his name
on the production credits of several of joni's older albums. i was not aware
he had had a stroke.
the bishop cd, by the way, for those of you with romantic tendancies, is a
great listen. really finely crafted songs...nothing too deep or complex, but
lovely music with intelligent, heartfelt lyrics.
a good addition to the cd collection of anyone who likes to put on sinatra and
start to cry... always loved the line "if i found the place, would i
recognize the face?" and many more. enjoying it more than i thought i would.

doing another telethon tomorrow night at the House of Blues. I got a

to sing in band with. He will be performing in a feature spot on the
telethon. We have now passed the $200,000.00 mark in collecting funds
for the relief effort. I put a team of four doctors on the noon plane
bound for Trujillo today at mid day. Doctor Heiman got back today and
was so happy that he had gone down and been able to accomplish so much.
The Lord has been providing some much for our efforts, it has been a
very spiritual time for me lately. The Archbishop here is providing a
70' boat for us to use to put a clinic on and effect the Mosquito Coast
and all the rivers there. We will be able to reach all those people that
live along the rivers and bring them food, medicine, and medical
treatment. Another catholic priest donated two new 18' boats and motors
to help with this plan. It is all coming together so well. I plan to go
down around the first of the month to check on things and do assessment

I must amend my former statement on this to say that the live Joni "Black
Crow" I heard at the concerts and tapings this year surpasses all hands
down. But I am very partial to the cover songs performed by Cassandra and
thinks she surpasses the originals on many of them. Just a subjective
opinion - I really love her style and the way she transforms the songs into
beautiful new inventions. I should have added that I am also very crazy
about JMDL'er Bryan Thomas' "Black Crow!"

Just something about the melody kept on doing it for me. It's an
instrumental version on a recent Pat Methany album; don't know the name
but it's a collaboration with a bassist. But, if you want to check out
some relatively recent Pat Methany, "Story Book" is incredible. I love
that album so deeply. His melodic sense is awesome, and, as usual, he's
working with great players. Anyway, came home and found this

I second that emotion! (especially that sing-songy neener-neener-nee-ner
sounding 'Joni's gonna hate this, Joni's gonna hate this'. I would bet

One of Seattle's local television stations has also been doing a drive

Not much but it sure felt good to do something, however small.
