I just bought a "best of" CD (WOW, a non-joni CD purchase, I am getting daring!!) and was trying to remember which track she had mentioned in previous interviews. I really love this music, it is so different to the things I'm used to listening to, very inspiring...makes me want to dance and paint, preferably not at the same time ;-) Ange Sydney ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 19:39:41 -0800 (PST) From: Brian Gross Subject: Re: Thanksgiving rev./&DJRD - --- Drewdix@aol.com wrote: > > BTW, I am looking for DJRD on CD, and don't have much experience with > ordering records other than through the mainstream.

Brian's idea is a good one and you could probably get express shipping. Or, if you're really in a hurry, HMV (at 86th and Lex; don't know about the others) has ALL of her CDs, even DED (made in Germany), in stock all the time. Unless there's recently been a run on DJRD, you should be able to find one there (or maybe at any HMV).

Sounds like fun to me. Let us know how it goes. :-D DS ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Nov 1999 15:47:30 +1100 From: "Takats, Angela" Subject: re: rachmaninoff and bare foot painting??

NJC Do any of you have records / CDs in your collection that you like, but about which you know almost nothing? Last week, while I had a couple of days leave from work, I took the opportunity to re-organize my LP (vinyl) collection and listen to a few records I hadn’t played for years. In doing so I resurrected one such ‘mystery’ album about which I have never been able to find any information. I thought immediately of the vast resource of musical knowledge that is to be found within the JMDL community and, thus, decided to make this request for assistance. The 'mystery' is an LP that, if I remember correctly, I picked up for next to nothing at a sale in Sydney ca 1973/4. The details are: TITLE: “The Ship: A Contemporary Folk Music Journey”. ARTIST: The Ship. Steve Melshenker: 6 string guitar, vocals. Steve Cowan: 12 string guitar, vocals. Steve Reinwand: lead guitar, dobro, mouth harp, vocals. Mark Hamby: piano, flute, vocals. Todd Bradshaw: 4 & 8 string bass. with Tim Scott: cello. [Melshenker and Cowan composed the music and lyrics.] PRODUCER:Gary Usher. ISSUED BY:Electra Records (EKS – 75036), 1972. If anyone recognizes this album, the band, or any of the musicians (who appear to be American) I would really be grateful for any information you can give me. John (in Sydney). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Nov 1999 00:37:03 EST From: MINGSDANCE@aol.com Subject: My Best To You! It's November 7, which has now become the most significant day in my life, for it was just one year ago today I was given the great honor of photographing Joni's 55th birthday concert. I sure wish I was doing it this year but since I'm not, I just want to say "My best to you Joni". I think I'm going to write the Make A Wish Foundation, and ask that they send Wally to Milan when Joni debutes her new CD . . . and that I would love to go along to photograph the entire event! By the way, today in Joni history, November 7, 1998, she played with Bob Dylan at the Atlanta Collisium -- her birthday concert and an end to her 1998 tour. May all your dreams come true, David Mingus ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 Nov 1999 00:42:11 -0500 From: dsk Subject: Re: DJRD Emily Kirk Gray wrote: > DJRD seems to me (tonight, anyway) a step away from > the more interior, turned-inside albums (at least > previous to this) and that it's more of a "thinking" > text -- a piece of work that shows a mind working on > other, outside questions (including race and nationality). This gives me the thought that DJRD is more of a "pleasure in sound-making" album, whereas her earlier albums were very wordy, more cerebral and not as much fun sound-wise. Tonight I went to a concert of classic spanish and latin american songs and while listening to the expressiveness of the sounds since I don't understand Spanish, and falling in love indiscriminately several times in two hours because of the passion in those sounds, it struck me that with Joni I'm always paying a lot of attention to the words. I probably don't have as much appreciation for the music itself as some of the people on the list do, as though I don't even really hear it since I'm so stuck on thinking about the words and picturing images. With DJRD especially, that seems to get in the way of fully experiencing what Joni's doing. I feel like I have an assignment now: ignore the words and discover a new Joni. Hmmmm.... Signing off now, with encouragement to all lurkers to speak up, even though it can be a hard thing to do. (Great way though to celebrate Joni's birthday.) Debra Shea P.S. Happy Birthday Joni! Hope it's the start of a wonderful new year. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Nov 1999 01:49:41 EST From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: My Best To You!

Atlanta was my first time seeing Joni in concert, and I can't think of a better person to see her live than with You!!!! This is the man who is truly responsible for my love of Joni. Thank you David!
