Many of you already know how much I love Ladies Of The Canyon. Listening to it yet again, it is so humbling! There were two albums that I clung to during that horrible time known as high school: this one and Laura Nyro's Christmas and the Beads of Sweat. IMHO, every step Joni made during the 1970s was there in embryo in LOTC. Also, IMHO, Laura was pretty amazing, especially in Christmas.... Who made albums like LOTC and CATBOS way back in 1971?

Essra, Joni and Crosby all lived near each other in L.A. circa "Woodstock." They were all friends and used to play each others' songs for each other. From what I recall, Joni's song "Woodstock" was based at least partially on Essra's musical style at the time, as well as on her poetry. She was indeed scheduled to perform at the fest but her manager took a wrong turn, ruining that "shot." However, she was there for the whole thing and wrote a poem about the experience, which she shared with Joni. Regarding Crosby, Essra's song (which was released prior to Deja Vu), "I Have Been Here Before" did inspire Crosby's "We Have All Been Here Before" chorus. Mohawk is a criminally overlooked singer, musician and songwriter. I really think her new CD (Essie Mae Hawk Meets the Killer Groove Band) is ten times better than the stuff Bonnie Raitt has been putting out - and I'm a big Raitt fan. Regards.

Her bio says "Joni Mitchell's song "Woodstock" was inspired by Essra's words and music (!?!?!?!) She also says David Crosby's "Deja Vu" was inspired by her song "I Have Been Here Before" which he asked her to play for him many times. Frank Zappa was impressed with her musicianship and she became the first female in his band. For those on this list, the "Woodstock" claim (unexplained as it is) might be a little hard to fathom.

It was one of the great unresolved difficulties in her life, and reflects itself from Little Green (written before anything on STAS), to Morning Morgantown, to Chinese Cafe to Beat of Black Wings to Magdalene Laundries to Stay in Touch. We'd been talking about Song for Sharon, and I think her giving up her child is certainly a part of her longing for family and roots. Her re-discovering Kilauren and becoming a Grandmother has GOT to be overly joyful for her and I'm sure we'll see that reflected in her next studio project of original material. Although part of me hopes she'll have to change some of Daisy Joan's nasty diapers so she can maintain her dark edge: Sung to the tune of...well, you can figure it out... "Bows, and rows of happy smiles, The total lack of evil guiles, Laughs and cuddling all the while, I'd looked at kids that way, But now they only cry and fling, They puke and drool on everything, And interrupt me when I sing And turn my blond hair gray, I've looked at kids from both sides now, They never sleep! They don't know how, These toddlers to me are so foreign, I'm glad I can give them back.....to Kilauren!" Bob, suffering from creative over-exposure this week... PS: I love the story in an interview about Joni traveling with a bottle of Evian water, not knowing that Kilauren was the model on the picture on the bottle, so Joni was in essence "cradling" her child all along while she traveled...

Disney did NOT write 101 Dalmations (Dodie Smith); Mary Poppins (I forget the lady's name, but it was initials only first name and a veddy British last name, and her Poppins was not Julie Andrews!); Bambi (Felix Salton); Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll) ; Winnie The Pooh (A.A.Milne); or most of the other films they made movies of. In fact, in most (if not all) cases, they changed the stories drastically and took out all the "dark" stuff (maybe not all), Americanized them wherever they could (no offense to les americains), and gave most of them happy endings.

It seems to be especially popular among intellectuals and even more popular among would-be intellectuals. It is supposed to be used to emphasize a certain fact, but mostly used to convey in a formal and polite way that somebody else's statement or behavior is way out stupid. Original example from a law professor's comment on a student paper (yes, mine): "Student begins his case examination with (sic!)§823, thereby neglecting the existence of a contractual relationship. Even if tort law would apply primarily, the relevant §§ would be §831 ff. of course rather than §823 (cf. my critique of Supreme Court ruling... blah blah....)" BLAH! BLAH!

Gene kept coming in from the other room where he was trying to work and saying- 'this is really good!' my comments- besides how amazing dreamland was- are.... when she sang without guitar (why do fools, trouble man, comes love/nothing can be done [as listed on the packaging]), she was so animated- full bodied, full voiced- while with guitar- she's so restrained.

I really recommend this video- especially after having seen her on tour with Bob D here in chicago- where your voice hovered as best as it could over the bloated reverberant blare of speaker towers stacked to the ceiling of the united center (which is an acoustic nightmare).

Here's a paragraph from page 178. Joni Mitchell was a regulaar visitor at Essra's house."I had just come back from Woodstock and I read her a poem I'd written and told her my impressions of the festival," Essra said. "The next day she came back with her song 'Woodstock' and said to me, and I quote, 'I want you to hear my new song. It was influenced by your music.' So that's a quote from her. I guess I was the first free-form vocalist in rock 'n' roll, and I showed Joni not how to do it, but just told her to go ahead and do it. And, basically, ever since then she went off into the more dissonant chords and the more jazzy vocal style. That was my influence. I've never heard her say it to anyone, and I've never heard anyone else say it to me, and I haven't seen her in many years, but I don't know why she would deny it." Pretty wild, huh?!

You know when I sit down at my PC, and when I step away. You understand my modem, and the whole e-mail thing. You know the way I let the Internet waste my time, but too, how it has let me keep in contact with family and friends around the globe. Even before I've touched the keyboard, You know what I'll write. It is hard for me to comprehend that You're standing at my shoulder every time I sign on. You are awesome, Lord, and the Y2K uncertainties can't disturb You, like they do me and lots of people around me. Where can I go that Your Spirit isn't with me? Or could I get away from Your love and protection, if I was running in fear come January 1, 2000? If my electricity shuts down, You are there. If I have to sleep under 2 down comforters to keep warm when my gas furnace fails to operate, You are there. If the city can't keep the water pumping, or my ATM is "out of service," You'll take care of me. If, on December 31, 1999, I cry, "surely the darkness will overwhelm me, and the light around me will be night," even the darkness is not dark to you, and the night is bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike, to You. You made me, Lord, and You love me. Your works have no glitches, no shutdowns, no power failures. My days, with or without computers, were planned by You before I was even born! Help me to be faithful to You, and not panic when I hear of shortages, outages and chaos. Help me to be prepared to help others, physically and spiritually. Let me be an enemy of fear mongers, and help me to show those who are truly afraid of the future how to put their trust in You, Lord, the Almighty One. Keep Your eye on me, O God, and touch my heart.

(AP) - Jackson Browne, Shawn Colvin, Bruce Hornsby and Bonnie Raitt, whose paths often have crossed on tours and in the studio while working on one another's albums, have packaged their mutual admiration for a 22-show tour. ``These are my favorite singers and songwriters in the world,'' Raitt said in an interview with Browne, Colvin and Hornsby at NBC's ``Tonight'' show studio before a recent performance. While it's a dream date for singer-songwriter fans to see so much talent on stage for three hours, the foursome say it's their chance to hit the road with people and music they love and respect. ``It is like running away with the circus,'' Browne said. ``We're leaving all the responsibilities and the hard-fought-for control that you have and giving it up to people that inspire you and challenge you.'' The tour, which begins Aug. 26 in Mansfield, Mass., and finishes Sept. 25 in George, Wash., grew out of benefit shows Raitt, Browne and Hornsby did together for Hurricane Mitch victims in December. They enjoyed themselves so much they decided to turn it into a longer gig. ``We had such a great time,'' Hornsby said. ``Bonnie called me once a week for the whole month of January and said, `We have to do this. It's too much fun, too much of a kindred-spirit feeling. We have to do this for real.''' They invited Colvin to join them, along with David Lindley, a longtime Browne collaborator. They've put together a five-piece band to back them and plan to perform a combination of one another's music and some songs by other musicians. ``It's not like a Vegas show. This is four people playing in a living room, basically, and inviting 15,000 people,'' Raitt said. They'll be trading vocals on one another's songs, offering new takes on familiar material. ``They're like super versions of these songs because of the concentrated vocal power,'' Browne said. ``Some of my songs are just better than they've ever been.'' The friendship and good humor they hope will characterize the tour showed through during the ``Tonight'' show rehearsal, when the four and their backing band broke into a playful, funked-up version of ``End of the Innocence'' - a Hornsby-Don Henley composition - and a semi-bluegrass take on ``Amazing Grace,'' complete with whoops and hollers. All four said they were happy to back out of the leader's spot and blend into a band. ``Anything's a relief if you do one thing long enough,'' Colvin said. ``If you play solo long enough then you get to play with a band, that's a relief. If you're with a band, then you get to play solo, that's a relief. ``If you do your own material constantly, then suddenly there's a world of other people's material that you admire and love open to you, what a relief. It's great for me to be a backup singer and a rhythm guitar player.'' They'll be recording the tour and have talked about putting out a live album or video afterward. And Colvin said they even talked about extending the quartet's travels to Europe, Africa and Australia. The group kicked around ideas for a band name in the vein of other super groups such as the Traveling Wilburys. In the end, they decided a name would have been too confining and would detract from ``something as special as this,'' Colvin said. Instead, they said, they've simply focused on the music and having fun with musicians they've long admired. ``All the practice singing along in the car with these people's songs is now paying off,'' Hornsby said.

Now that the words and emotions related with these songs have touched my soul (surely you've touched mine, Joni) I skip over the other ones to hear these first. My take is that Joni is a lover of love, and of the pain that comes with it. She has always fancied the idea of having the husband and the family and the farm and would trade places with Sharon in a heartbeat (YOU sing for your friends and your family, I'LL watch green pastures by and by). The relationships she's had just haven't been what she needed to get her there. For Joni, love has been an emotion attached to an imaginary ideal-she truly beleives love is stimulated by illusion, more than anything. And even though it's a repetitious danger (at least according to her experience) she will continue to chase the White Lace.
