Clive, welcome to the list. The aforementioned was directed partly to you but to others as well. Not scolding here, simply a coridal suggestion. Kids! My favorite topic. Turning them on to things is like opening a new folder on the hard drive. It is up to us to create it but them to fill it. I am almost certain that Joni will attend the grammies. She has in the past even when not nominated, and the chance that she will be there is greater as it is again being held in L.A. I'm saying "me too" on more info re: kissing contest. Sounds like fun!

The original audition tape, long believed to be lost, is on Anthology 1. Ringo still hasn't forgiven George Martin for hiring an outside drummer for his first studio gig.

The All-star tribute to Joni Mitchell wasn't broadcast here ( Montrial, Quibec, Canada) but I found most of the songs on Napsters I'd like to know if someone has taped it on video and if it's possible for me to have a copy ( naturally, I'll pay for the expenses).

Just a couple of quick notes: 1. The big news is that this weekend I bought a new toy, a Vestax BDT 2000 Turntable with a built in pre-amp; this means I can now record direct from LP/45's to CD. As I'm starting to get vinyl from E-bay, this will help us to get a better quality of sound. I did a couple of vinyl to CD transfers over the weekend and it really sounds great - to me, anyway. So if you have or get something for the collection, feel free to send me the vinyl copy if you wish. 2. Hopefully Volume 14 will be ready to rumble in about a week. I've got little seeds coming in from all directions! ;~) Newest acquisition...a 45 of Harper's Bizarre doing "BSN"! More on this story as it develops!

Jonatha Brooke, in my view, is one of the very few best singer/songwriters working today (Shawn Colvin is another), and one of the even fewer deserving of Joni Mitchell's legacy. She started out in a duo with singer Jennifer Kimball called The Story, who produced a good first album, GRACE IN GRAVITY, and a brilliant follow up, THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE. Jonatha was the primary voice and writer. She went solo with another brilliant one called PLUMB, followed by TEN CENT WINGS, LIVE, and a new one due 2/13, STEADY PULL. Like Joni, she is a "shape-shifter," never content to stay in one place, her sound evolving from folk/pop with jazz and Latin tinges, broadening to encompass rock, R&B, more density and complexity. She is as inspired a melodist as there ever has been, with an equally superb harmonic sense ... always dancing on the edge between surprising and satisfying. Smart, tuneful, musical, moving. And fantastic lyrics. Also, she can really do it live, either alone or with a band ... she is a musician. (Disclosure: a friend and musical colleague of mine, Ingrid Graudins, sang with her for a few years on record and gigs.) I can't recommend Jonatha Brooke highly enough, no matter how hard I try, and I can't imagine that someone into Joni would not find much to love about her work. - -Fred Simon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 17:30:02 EST From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: Re: Covers Update (NJC) Santa Bob writes: << 1.

I think you should keep your new toy at his house so he can keep seeing his *favorite son* and continue helping out the JMDL :~) >> Yes, he has been, Jimmy...he has a passion for music, he loves Richard Rodgers in particular, but also Gershwin, Ella, and Broadway. I grew up surrounded by great music, and was also taught to read lyrics like "You've Got To be Carefully Taught" and appreciate a good song. A couple of years ago, we were at a beachhouse, drinking some brews and listening to Hejira. I pointed out the brilliance of lines like: People will tell you where they've gone, They'll tell you where to go But til you get there yourself... You never REALLY know He was as awed at Joni's words as he was at Larry Hart's...he was also a big Lennon/McCartney fan and used to buy Beatles records for my sister, just so he could listen to them. So, like we've been saying (and I've enjoyed all the posts), exposing our children to musical appreciation is a joy and a responsibility, and one of my greatest joys. If not for my Dad, I would probably not have been able to appreciate Joni, and I wouldn't be here. So, I suppose you're right in saying that he's an important contributor to the JMDL...

I don't have the HDCD version of STAS yet (probably because I have 3 vinyls of it ;-) but I am amazed that they were able to engineer out the bell jar sound. I'll be looking forward to hearing the CD. (I like the bell jar sound, though ;-) In addition to the background you posted, I've also heard in interviews with Joni and Crosby that part of that bell jar sound was intentional - Croz had this wild idea of having Joni play and sing into (the wires of?) a grand piano for some kind of effect. Also, the master tape got messed up somehow and then the engineer died suddenly in the middle of the process. Croz has also indicated that the release of the "flawed product" was because the original engineer was not around to fix the tape and they were under pressure to get the album out on schedule. You've shed some more light on the legend. Do you think our original "flawed" vinyl will have some collectible value someday? ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 19:10:55 EST From: MGVal@aol.com Subject: Re: Covers Update (NJC) In a message dated 02/11/2001 3:28:04 PM Pacific Standard Time, SCJoniGuy@aol.com writes: << I grew up surrounded by great music, and was also taught to read lyrics like "You've Got To be Carefully Taught" and appreciate a good song. >> Hmm, this ties rather nicely with the "Those Darn Kids" thread and the concept of "teaching" what to see, what to hear and what lies beneath the initial hook. Throughout today, the whole thread and Marcel's idea that you need to teach, I had the classic, "Donald in Mathematics Land" going in the back of my head. My oldest daughter is slightly gifted in math. She credits being taught to how really "see" numbers and their magic from this simple cartoon. Before it, she had a flair, after it, she had a love. Now, of course, she has a boyfriend, so that attraction has fallen by the wayside for a bit.

I can think of at least two ways: longest single kiss; or most kisses in a given time (I've seen both, funnily enough). There may be other ways. I simply don't understand why you felt the need to come in and say what you said, which adds nothing whatsoever to the list or to the sum of good vibes in the world. I fear my post is not adding to the sum of good vibes either, but I just don't feel like letting this go. Not so long ago you jumped down the throat of a recent joiner to the list and made some really mean-spirited crack about "keep taking the pills", or words to that effect.

Interesting discussion on art, folks. My two penn'orth on the subject: I tend to prefer modern stuff; most of my favourite artists are from the late 19th or 20th Century (Whistler, Giacommetti, Dali, Rothko, Pollock, etc), and like a lot of abstract art. I do have a block, however, with art that requires an explanation to "appreciate" it: I remember seeing an installation in London a few years ago, which was a room. That was it - a room, with bits and bobs lying around, a chair, a newspaper, etc etc. It made no impact on me; I read the card, which explained that this was an exact reproduction of the artist's room at the moment a significant event in his life occurred, or something similar. And I thought (age-old thought, this): does that make it art? I have an impatience with that kind of conceptualising, which to me often smacks of posturing and poseurism. I am pretty much with David Lahm on this, I need to feel moved, or struck in some way by what's there, and not have to rely on the subtitles. When it comes to abstract art, I disagree with Diane that you have to know about Mondrian's landscapes in order to appreciate his work. And what's wrong with colourful squares? They're not to everyone's taste, but I believe you can get the artistic hit just from seeing what's there. That said, I'm not denying that you might get a fuller *understanding* of them from knowing the history; it's just that, for me, the art, the genius (or lack thereof), is on the canvas I'm looking at. I can look at a Rothko and be mesmerised by its beauty, and I don't have a clue why it came to look like that.

Lines and colours and shapes and bright, light impressions move me out of myself and take me within. Your criticism of The Room reminded me of myself when I see art that doesn't do anything for me, like paintings with so much detail that they are life-like. Rather than be moved or struck by the fantastic ability or vision of this person, I'll say to myself - why bother - take a photograph next time. Then catch myself in that judgmental mode and realize just how wonderful it is that such diversity exists, in music as in art - enough for all of us.

Paz NP-How Deep Is Your Love-Jonatha Brooke ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 00:33:22 -0800 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: jonatha (now with joni content) Gush GUSH G U S H! I can't get enough of this new album. And it's thanks to the jmdl that I found her in the first place. If Fred's post doesn't inspire some of you to go out and buy one of her CD's, I don't know what could.

Ahem, oh yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about the suddenly single Dennis ;-D I know if I did some begging and wheedling among my downtown connections, I might be able to weasel my way in, or maybe I could just stand outside on the street with binoculars. But instead I've decided to chuck it all behind, pack up my snorkel gear and go lay on a beach for a week in Hawaii. I *will* look for some exotic Joni covers while there (Bob;-) Kakki, tired of being damp and pasty-faced in L.A. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 22:28:21 -0800 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: Happy Birthday (NJC) Happpppy Birthdayyyy, Nikki!!
