Had a crappola day at work, came home and realized OMG.... I forgot to set up the tape for the Rosie show this morning. I was sinking pretty low when all of a sudden my daughter says hey mom, I taped Rosie for you after school today. OH mannnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!! I almost jumped outta my skin! I watched it and cried all the way through...it was fantastic! Everything I could ever have imagined and more. Apparently the only reason why she didnt do Case of You was because she needed more orchestra then what was available at this time. The rendition of Both Sides Now was something to behold. Tears streaming down my face...amazing beautiful magnificent!!!!!! Joni looked great and sounded so good!!!! And as others have said, Rosie actually did like her alot... to me, it was pretty obvious. Lots of air time and such. All in all, it was most amazing and deeply moving . congrats to those who get to see the up and coming concerts live. I am anxiously awaiting to hear what will be done for us in Canada re the Tribute show. And I am also wondering why Joni didnt come to Toronto on this tour. Anyone know why not? I saw her two years ago at the Gardens, she was sandwiched between some band and Bob Dylan...most interesting that was. She was mightily fine mind you. still floating on Canadian clouds. yea. mags* - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- _~O / /\_, ___/\ /_ - ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 21:11:58 -0700 From: "gene mock" Subject: rosie just wondering if anybody did what i did. waited excitedly to watch joni on rosie. joni breaks into the first words of bsn and i close my eyes to listen to the entire song. i do believe that was the best rendition of bsn i've ever heard. the orchestration was just fantastic. what an interview, joni was so relax, they should have made it a two hour show. anyway i was just wondering if any of you guys close your eye too. and just let the music and words take you back. everything seems to change, but nothing changes. amazing lady. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 00:07:41 EDT From: AsharaJM@aol.com Subject: Jealousy and envy Hellen, in a jealous tantrum, wrote: <> OK now, Hell, take a deeeeep breath.

Whoever observed that appearing on Rosie would boost sales hit that nail on the head. Viva Rosie O.!

I'm going to try and post again ... hopefully this time it will NOT bounce! This is a cry for help! All weekend long I was looking forward to seeing Joni on Rosie today and was all ready to tape it at 4pm. The problem is - they changed Rosie's show time to 3pm!!! Needless to say, I missed the whole show except the very end with Rosie's brothers standing there with Joni. I assume someone must have taped it. If I send you a blank tape, would you be willing to make a copy for me? Ironically, I'm doing that for another lister with the Letterman show! If anyone out there is able to help, please email me privately. I would truly appreciate it :~D Also, does anyone know what music Joni is going to perform on this tour? Will it all be with the orchestra? I have 5th row seats in West Palm Beach and am really curious and excited as to what we're in for! Thanks for listening ~ Debby in Mad Beach Dream to touch the stars ... Live to touch your dreams! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 22:59:23 -0700 From: "susan+rick" Subject: Re: joni's clothes What with all the recent comments about Joni's crinkly clothes it was inevitable that List synchronicity should strike again: I was closing up the park tonight (I'm a park ranger) and getting in and out of the truck to lock gates and buildings up, when I heard the words Issaye Miyake (sp?) over the sound of the diesel engine. I immediately turned off the truck and delayed my rounds to listen to a short bit of a fascinating CBC Radio program on Japanese clothing designers. It seems Joni's favourite designer bases many of his designs on the traditional kimono in that the (partial) intent is to cover the body with fabric that hides the shape of the body (the traditional kimono ideally should conceal the wearer's body in straight perfect lines and folds.) Miyake has added the twist of pleating the garment but not in the western way where the garment pieces are pleated first and then sewn together. Rather the garment is made two or three times larger than the desired end result and pleated after it is sewn together. It also works in different dimensions: Folded, the garment may look like several two-dimensional shapes, circles or ellipses, stacked together; only when the garment is worn does it reveal its true shape and purpose. The things you learn while driving a truck!

I hope you know by now that the little snip probably forwarded your beautful letter directly to the round file. ;-( This part stopped my heart momentarily: >The letter even had a reason for being written.

We were wondering in a small thread on the list in the past which 80s storm washed out her house in Malibu - your information indicates it was the one in '88. But I never knew that she lost a lot of her paintings, too! I imagine Joni chalks (no pun intended) this one up as yet another horrible event in the many that besieged her in the 80s. I hope she archived photos of them somewhere in a safe place for her future art book. > Dunno if she ever got it, and I never heard a word.

Don't know who that musician was, but he sure sounded great. He was actually playing soprano saxophone (what Wayne Shorter plays on some of BSN, along with tenor sax on other cuts), not clarinet. It is a straight horn, slightly larger than clarinet, so it's easy to confuse. - -Fred ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2000 #183 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list at Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe joni-digest" to ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
