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.

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.

Thought I would share a message I received today: I received a telephone call today from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician who was conducting a test on our telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine (9), zero (0), the pound sign (#) and then hang up. I was suspicious and refused. 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 share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW. PLEASE pass this on to everyone YOU know. If you have mailing lists and/or newsletters from organizations you are connected with, I encourage you to pass on this information to them, too. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1998 11:57:11 -0500 (EST) From: w evans 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. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1998 09:30:28 -0800 From: Mark or Travis Subject: Re: Photos needed/Contests coming Phyliss Ward wrote: > > Hey Wally and all > > I checked out the card again.

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.

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 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.

Klempner" 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? ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ `6_ 6 ) `-.

Thanx for passing along my email about the Telethon. We are doing another telethon tomorrow night at the House of Blues. I got a friend of mine, Moises Canelo, coming from Honduras tonight, that I use 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 of the situation and to check on my property up in the mountains. Hope all are well.

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.
