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!
Joni would *love* this story!

And it is incredible and nice that we did not read or see you on
the news..."Drifter cast upon a family hacks them
like Winn Dixie cold cuts".

Blown up in PhotoShop I make it twelve 'objects' max - Hey just give the
prize to who ever gets closest to spotting seventeen, let alone identifying
them!
Now for my Joni ignorance - I only recognise three people - Bette Davis,
Sigourney Weaver (singing) and Marvin Gaye?
A glass of wine. A bass guitar? A packet of John Player Specials? I suppose
there's a cat on there somewhere...
Nice card though. I've set it as wallpaper on my desktop in Windows 95,
which is also a handy way of having it always before my eyes in the hope of
guessing any more objects

Subject: JMDL Cookbook Update - need a cover page!!!
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.

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.

1975: Melody Maker today reviews Hissing, saying "...I confess it is
difficult. Always a lyricist of exquisite subtlety, preferring to suggest
rather than interpret meanings, she has devised a delightful torture."

1974: The album "Miles Of Aisles", still climbing the charts, is certified
gold by the RIAA.
1976: Finally... a review worth reading. 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.

furthermore, did you know that the citizens of Plymouth, Mass., used to haul
up that rock, which is a lot smaller than I had expected to be, and put it on
the back of a truck and carted it around every year for a Thanksgiving Day
parade until one year when it fell off the truck and BROKE!

Hi everyone,
Did you know that the Friday after Thanksgiving is a holiday due to food
poisoning? 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
