With this post, I am reminded of a story Arlo Guthrie told at the Troubadours of Folk concert in Los Angeles in 1993. I had attended this show to see Joni, and aside from the rush of seeing her, one of the highlights of the concert was Arlo's story. Arlo was describing a folk music festival which had happened in either Russia or some part of Eastern Europe; Pete Seeger was also on the bill. Apparently everyone was performing all of the old folk standards to a pretty luke warm response from the crowd. At some point Arlo started up with an Elvis Presley song, and he said Pete Seeger shot him an intense look of disapproval, but he went on with the song all the same. Arlo said that within moments, everyone in the audience was singing along with great enthusiasm. Finally a song to which everyone knew the words. He said he glanced back over at Pete to get his reaction only to discover that he was singing along too. Aha - Pete Seeger also knew the words. It was a great story that offered a whole new definition of "Folk Music." There was a PBS presentation of a 1 hour version of the Troubadours of Folk concert, which included Arlo spinning this tale as only Arlo could tell it. (Joni performs "Borderline") I guess the bottom line was that "Folk Music" is any song that can promote a sense of unity. So my friends, that said, I think we may have made a folk singer out of Joni Mitchell, in the very best sense of the word.

Bob, you omitted to say that I sent you that as a 'thank you' for your jaw-dropping generosity in sending me the amazing 'Hissing Demos' tape. After a couple of years this remains the absolute jewel in my record collection - I played it again yesterday in your honour! And it is all I wanted to listen to this morning as soon as I got up. The recording of 'Shades of Scarlet Conquering' on this is possibly my favourite Joni recording of all time - I'm trying to figure out why. Just Joni on solo piano and vocal - no overdubs - home studio reverb - 'p's popping all over the place (particularly on 'impossibly'). I think it has something to do with the subtle differences in the piano chord sequence linking the verses and in the intro and playout (which I imagine she decided to change when she brought in all the players for the HOSL sessions) - and the texture of her voice - more vulnerable and raw-nerved than on the album - particularly when she sings:- "Dressed in stolen clothes she stands cast iron and frail With her impossibly gentle hands and her blood-red fingernails." It gets me everytime - even the sound of her releasing the soft pedal at the very end! I have to turn the tape off and stare out of the window for a while. I know (and sort of understand) that Joni doesn't much like the 'folk musician' tag, but I just wish she could be persuaded to release a limited edition of these demos and that copies could be sent out to folk radio DJs - I know she often bemoans her lack of airplay, but it seems to me the US folk DJs are the ones who have remained most loyal to her - she has been top of the CanCon airplay lists for as long as I can remember - and I reckon these recordings - in all their apparent rawness - would open up a whole new fanbase of people who maybe found it hard to go with her from HOSL onwards.

You're Made That Way 2. Echoes Of Love 3. Little Darling (I Need You) 4. You Belong To Me 5. Livin' On The Fault Line 6. Nothin' But A Heartache 7. Chinatown 8. There's A Light 9. Need A Lady 10. Larry The Logger Two-Step The only tracks that stand out for me are 2, 5, and 8. The balance was so-so, certainly listenable but not very memorable. Their cover of "Little Darlin" couldn't hold a candle to the energy of "Take Me In Your Arms" from Stampede. I guess they included "Need A Lady" so Porter wouldn't bolt from the band. And "Larry" REALLY paled next to "Slat Key Soquel Rag", one of my fave guitar instrumentals of all-time along with "The Clap" on The Yes Album. A transitional record to be sure, it set up the dynamite "Minute by Minute" which featured much better songs.

In the chorus, what is the linethat follows, "We are stardust, we are golden?" The mystery lyrics are then followed by "and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." Answer: Someone with the sheet music may come forth and enlighten us both, but I believe those muddled words to be "We are billion year old carbon." Interestingly, neither the hit remake by Matthews Southern Comfort nor the original by Joni Mitchell contain the "carbon" line. Both skip right to getting back to the garden. Since Mitchell, who wrote the song, does not sing those words, it is likely that CS&N decided to toss them in. Needless to say I've written to Mr. Music.

I've only flicked through it, as I'm a bit skint at the moment, but there's a copy of the cover (obviously), but also what seems to be a draft of the artwork. There are also some articles which I didn't have time to read. I remember a journalist writing into the list about the HOSL cover a while back, after some details. Does anyone know if this is the same thing? I think he did say it was for Q. It's good to see her included in this, but I would have personally chosen Hejira (which hangs proudly in a box-frame on my living room wall)... I stumbled across a copy of "A Bird That Whistles - Songs of Joni Mitchell" the Scandanavian tribute album in my lunch break today. I already have a copy, but it was in the discount section, which seems criminal for any Joni related product. Also, I quite like this album, especially the a capella version of "Silky Veils of Ardor", and, apparently, there are quite a few people who don't have it. Anyway, so in a random act of generousity (blink and you'll miss it), I am offering to mail this to the highest bidder. All money will go straight to one of the Joni related paying schemes. It cost me 5GBP, and it'll cost me about 2GBP to send it overseas, and 1GBP within the UK. So I think bidding should start at about 6GBP or 10USD. Could anyone who is interested, please contact me off list (robettridge@hotmail.com) If there is an easier way of doing this, let me know.

Well, I just got back from a two and a half hour session with Dr. Corke (my wonderful new dentist). He was replacing some old fillings on the other side of my mouth. Since I knew I would be in the chair a looooong time, a friend suggested I get nitrous oxide to make the time go by quicker. This time I listened to Joni's "BSN," and as I asked Dr. Corke to crank up the nitrous, I cranked up Joni. The time just flew by and I fell in *love* with my dentist. As he began, the first song played........."You're my drill, You do something to me,You send chills right through me". Then "At Last" played......."I found a drill to press my cheek to, A drill like I have never known". As I inhaled deeper, "Comes Love" was the next song......"Comes a toothache, See your dentist right away". I drifted away into la-la land during the next couple of songs then "ACOY" started to play. I could have sworn he was singing " I met a man, he had a mouth like yours". Then I started singing "Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm happy" over and over until the bitch hygienist slapped me. By this time I held the mask with both hands clenched to my face so no gas could escape. As I went into a coma during Joni's more melancholy songs, I was awakened by his perky assistant again. She had turned my nitrous off, and Joni was singing "But now it's just another show, You leave 'em laughing when you go" Dr. Corke was finished and he looked down at me and smiled with his beautiful eyes. BSN was over. I got up from my chair, got in my car, and drove to the first convenient store just to buy up every piece of candy they had.

Those huge pure white smiles that look so fake. Makes a person lose all character. Clean healthy teeth are good. Art in the mouth is not. bw colin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 21:14:51 EST From: Relayer211@aol.com Subject: "throbbing light machine" Joni Chatroom: http://www.jmdl.com/chat.cfm NE JoniFest 2001: http://www.jmdl.com/jfne2001.cfm Could anyone explain to me what this is?I''m dying to know... thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 22:21:38 EST From: RPWieloh@cs.com Subject: how's it done?

I did have dental work, nitrous, cute dentist, and played Joni's "BSN", but I may have stretched some of the details :~) I didn't laugh though, so I don't know why they call it laughing gas.

It's a great story, told as only Arlo can. It is on the CD "Sing Out For Seva", a benefit for the Seva foundation, Wavy Gravy's organization that performs low cost sight-restoring surgery to the poor in underdeveloped countries. It's a great CD, too: G.Nash&D.Crosby (Wooden Ships), B.Raitt, B.Hornsby, Lesh, Weir, Kaukonen and more. (end of plug) RR byron bentley wrote: > Folk concert in Los Angeles in 1993.

I love the camaraderie and erstwhile jesting. I have a lot of stress in my life which I won't bore you with, and I find joy in remembering simpler times. In my 20's I spent a lot of time with good friends listening to Joni. We used to frequent a sandwich shop in Long Beach called "Mike's Munchies." It first opened in the very early '70's on Long Beach Boulevard. You had to be hip to know what the "Munchies" part of the name meant. I was saddened by its closure as it was in my favorite "pan handling" area and they served great soup. I was hitching a ride with friends one day and a driver picked us up and asked if we would like to go to lunch. He took us to Mike's Munchies, lo and behold there was a bigger than life sized mural of Joni on the wall. Mike's had reopened in a very exclusive shopping area near Hwy. 101 between the Naples area and Seal Beach. They played Joni quite often. Anyone else know of it? I would love to hear of it.
