This is such a *great* story! I guess it's just kind of incredible to me that anyone would trust enough to allow a hitchhiker into their home for the weekend, but then to discover that he also loves Joni and to be able to turn him on to stuff he'd never heard before - well it's just so nice!

Dear all, I have about 50 recipes now. If you only submitted one recipe, can you submit another one? A sweet or savory - whichever you prefer. There's still time. If you haven't yet sent me a recipe, please send one soon! The deadline is Thursday, West coast midnight time, which is about 9 a.m. on Friday in Europe, and much (but I don't know how much) later in NZ and Australia :^D . I got a nice ring binder today with berries all over the cover. I will put the recipes and bios on facing pages so that when you open to a recipe on the right hand side, the bio will be on the left hand side. All of the pages will be covered with clear plastic covers. The only really outstanding thing is to design a cover page. We were going to call it The JMDL Sitting On My Groceries Cookbook, with the quote "Come up to my kitchen, I'll show you my best recipes". If someone could send me a design, I could print it out on the same paper that I'm printing the rest of the pages with and then send it on to Wally for delivery at Christmas to Joni. Happy Thanksgiving to all! I'm celebrating at my friend's house on the weekend and am really looking forward to it. Will be bringing my grandmother's Parker House Rolls (to die for); last year, some of the guests stole a whole basket of them and ate them all before dinner was served (they are not invited this year!). Anyway, my friend gets the restaurant across the street to cook her 30+ lb. turkey because it's too big to fit in her little Austrian oven. It is also to die for - so juicy and tender - the best I've ever eaten.

The author is a DJ in North Carolina. - ---- xxxxxxxxxx featured new music from Allison Moorer and Genghis Angus. I also played in its entirety "A Conversation With Joni Mitchell", meant, I'm sure, to help DJs out with "Taming the Tiger". My wife, listening at home, shut the radio off after a few minutes of the talk 'n tunes session, having "heard enough of her moan, groan, bitch and complain". I'm afraid that this may be the case with many folks listening. As a DJ piece of business, the talk sessions were too long, and included too few songs for a session that lasted over an hour. This thing ran for nearly an hour and a half, with station breaks. - ---- ############################################################## Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA steve@psitech.com "The Tinker's Own" http://members.aol.com/tinkersown/home.html "Southern California Dulcimer Heritage" http://members.aol.com/scdulcimer/ "The Living Tradition Concert Series" (Website soon!) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Nov 1998 14:15:23 EST From: LRFye@aol.com Subject: Happy Turkey Day (NJC) Everyone, Happy Thanksgiving to all ...

Today's Sounds magazine says of Hejira: Timeless and majestic, this is the music for the spirit. Intellectual and inspired, this is music for the mind. Rhythmic and subtle, this is music for the body. The music of tomorrow, this is the tip of the iceberg. Don't hear this album. Listen to it. Read the rest at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/sounds761127.htm Also today, Melody Maker reviews Hejira, saying "The qualification about this album's success stems indirectly, in fact, from the lyrics. "The Hissing Of Summer Lawns" was criticised in some quarters (thought not by me) for being purely a vehicle for her lyrics, a criticism, however, which has some application to "Hejira". This is the first Joni Mitchell record for which the song sheet is indispensable." Read the article at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/mm761127.htm 1982: Today's New Musical Express isn't so kind to Wild Things Run Fast, saying "Because she does not have the gift of writing great dumb pop music. That's the only thing that would carry a trifle like "Wild Things Run Fast" itself. There is a persistent suggestion that she's slumming in the cheapest throes of dime-novel romance, and it's ludicrous that the progenitor of the scorched skyline of the "Hejira" set should want to settle for something so facile. This is a simplification, not a paring away." Read it at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/nme821127.htm 1985: (From Wally's bio page): The video for the first single "Good Friends" premiered on MTV [today]. It was directed by Jim Blaschfield, who had found fame with his video for the Talking Heads "And She Was," by inserting color xerox images that move independently within the live action. The premiere of "Good Friends" was announced with some fanfare by MTV VJ Mark Goodman: "Joni Mitchell-at last!", but the video received only light airplay for the next 2 months. - -------- Know a date or month specific Joni tidbit?

The four day holiday can be attributed to our past ignorance of proper food handling procedures. Due to the size of the bird and the general lack of knowledge about cooking temperatures (stuffing inside the turkey), people were calling in sick on Fridays. Thus it became widely accepted to give people that day off as well. It is said that knowledge is power. Well, let it also be said that ignorance is bliss (four day holiday!). 180 degrees and Happy Thanksgiving, jody ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V3 #489 ************************** Don't forget about these ongoing projects: FAQ Project: Help compile the JMDL FAQ.
