It was bought on the morn Of the day that he was born, And was always his treasure and pride; But it stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, (Tick, tock, tick, tock,) His life seconds numbering, (Tick, tock, tick, tock,) It stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. In watching its pendulum Swing to and fro, Many hours had he spent while a boy; And in childhood and manhood The clock seemed to know, And to share both his grief and his joy. For it struck twenty-four When he entered at the door, With a blooming and beautiful bride; But it stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, His life seconds numbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, It stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. My grandfather said That of those he could hire, Not a servant so faithful he found; For it wasted no time, And had but one desire, At the close of each week to be wound. And it kept in its place, Not a frown upon its face, And its hand never hung by its side. But it stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, His life seconds numbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, It stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. It rang an alarm In the dead of the night, An alarm that for years had been dumb; And we knew that his spirit Was pluming his flight, That his hour of departure had come. Still the clock kept the time, With a soft and muffled chime, As we silently stood by his side. But it stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, His life seconds numbering, Tick, tock, tick, tock, It stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 13:38:16 -0500 From: Kathleen Kajioka Subject: Re: Joni's "God" notes Catherine McKay wrote: > Emily muses: > >also, i just love the idea (perhaps in a more secular way) of > >god bursting through a few notes -- made me start thinking of > >which of joni's "notes" i love especially. any thoughts? > > > > Here's a few that do it for me: the way her voice goes on "I thought of > you, I thought of you, dreamer" (Impossible dreamer); "What a pocket of > heavenly grace" (Love puts on a new face); many too numerous to mention in > "Mingus" (this is a recent acquisition for me so it's still new, and Jaysus, > do I love it!); , "vast and bleak and godforsaken" (Paprika plains) > > That's just a few - you know, there may be more... > Hmm...agreed.

The CD name is "Haunt Me Forever." Barby has a beautiful soprano voice, bell-like and reminiscent of Joni's "Blue" voice. (I play piano and harp on some tracks.) Check her out at http:\\www.barbyholder.com. You can purchase the CD from me privately, if you like.

I think it wasn't until the Renaissance was in pretty full swing did making picture frames become a separate activity, when art works became secular. I find it very odd that JM would want to work on her painting as opposed to her music in terms of achievement. I find her paintings amateurish and much influenced (without irony) by commercial art, just not good or interesting. I also hate her whining about being marginalized by the commercial, or mainstream, market. About 99% of the fine singer-songwriters today could say the same thing and then some. I think she's just in some sort of emotional/spritual/personal crisis, which just goes to show that perceived achievement means many different things to people. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 12:47:47 -0700 From: "Alison Einerson" Subject: Re: Joni's "God" notes my personal fave: "i gave him power over *me*" --Strange Boy alison e. - ---------- >From: Don Rowe >To: joni@smoe.org >Subject: RE: Joni's "God" notes >Date: Tue, Feb 15, 2000, 11:09 AM > >So many *notes* ... so little time: > >"With her *impossibly* gentle hand ..."

I sent them along to my mother, who was very touched, both by the fact that I remembered the song after all this time, and that the JMDL responded so quickly to my request! As it turned out, she had not been able to remember many of the words either, since it's been nearly 40 years since she sang this song with any regularity, and was doing so by memory even then, having heard it on a Sons of the Pioneers recording years earlier. However, as we say in my business, her memory is now refreshed! As she is, too, I think. I can't resist injecting some Joni Content here, however. Which song on a Joni Mitchell album is a mere one degree of separation removed from "My Grandfather's Clock"? I know, I know: this one is just *too easy*! (impish grin).

Send me my million now, Regis!" I confess, I was thinking of "Cool Water." (Can you tell which CD *I've* been listening to lately?!). But Bob is absolutely right: "My Best to You" also fits the bill, and for exactly the same reason. Regis, TWO million dollars for SCJoniGuy! Bob, will you remember us all while you're enjoying your newfound wealth? ;-) Mary P. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 19:08:34 -0500 From: Kathleen Kajioka Subject: Re: Joni's "God" notes Oh How could I forget!

This is a generic letter to my friends & penpals. Sorry it isn't more personal but there are so many of you! I've been online about 30 hours per week for the past three years & must conclude that, for the most part, it's been a monumental waste of time. I've gained 10 pounds sitting on my ass hour after hour downloading potential viruses, frivolous software with glitches & spam from strangers. I figure that maybe 10% has been meaningful or productive (connecting with a few old friends, meeting a few new friends & exchanging hard-to-find documents). But the other 90% has led to increasing frustration, addiction & depression. I lost one long-time friend in a group email dispute over politics & must say that internet chat & discussion lists have got to be the rudest phenomenon since studio wrestling! Perhaps it's because it's so instant, eliminating the time it has always taken to ponder what you've written before sending it. I'm going back to snailmail & phone calls. Email might be nice for a few things (mainly commerce) but until surfers develop a little more netiquette & hackers are a thing of the past, I will remain offline. My # is 412-835-8024 if you really want to chat. God help us face the 21st Century!
