Howwver, I knit using the finest of wools. Not that that means they are all soft. however, merino, which I knit with the most, is the finest quality and does not scratch. It is very very soft. i also do cashmere but that is waaaay to expensive for anything other than that special order. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 09:54:25 +0100 From: Gordon Mackie Subject: How to be like Joni Mitchell The post the other day about how someone could go to a fancy dress party as Joni reminded me of a couple of very old anecdotes. I can't remember where I read them but they have stuck in my consciousness It was either Crosby or Nash who was quoted as saying that Joni was as 'modest as Mussolini' That might give you a tip about attitude...lol. Linked to this was an item about how 'Judgement of the Mooon and Stars' was about Joni comparing herself to Beethoven ...which has also reminded me of something from way back. We had an English teacher in 3rd year secondary ( is that 9th grade...) who used said JOTMAS for poetry class. How radical that must have been. It's wet, dull and grey here...and that's just the weather...off to listen to presentations on comparative practice in community education Enjoy your day Gordon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 23:35:13 +0100 From: catman Subject: back on air a measage just arrived from jeff(smoe owner) to say we are back on line. - -- bw colin colin@tantra.fsbusiness.co.uk http://www.geocities.com/tantra_apso/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 10:58:13 -0600 From: "Pitassi, Mary" Subject: Computer questions (NJC) Sorry to interject a completely off-the-wall question into the discussion here, but I've got a question I thought someone here would likely be able to answer. To wit: I'd like to start saving news articles (and I save a lot) almost completely on my computer. I'll probably be saving most of them in HTML format, and and CD-ROM RW disks. Most of them will be saved directly from the source: e.g., New York Times On-line. I'll then sort and catalog them on the CD, in folders. My question: as a practical matter: how long will I be able to access these articles? Will I have to "update" the text format of the articles periodically? Is that even possible? At some point, will these HTML versions all become obsolete and inaccessible? Thanks much in advance for your help. Please reply off-list, unless someone else expresses a burning interest in these questions! Mary P. P.S. I've been pretty "inaccessible" myself for the last couple of weeks, but I've been reading the digests this week, and was struck by the amount of pain and loss on the list recently. You're all in my thoughts, and I can only hope that the hurt will be somehow lessened. If there's anything I can do, please let me know. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 22:43:13 +0100 From: catman Subject: How Do You Stop..... NJC this friggin dog barking.

"so this is where she lived 0-3 years old...cool man" knowing very much the only thing happening was the mighty chinook wind that made us and our voices even smaller...i think it was "geezer" that informed us she was only there till she was 3 and off to saskatchewan..."and thats the rest of the story" but the somewhat stark recollection forms a nice background to "amelia" 'cause these airbases are a real part of joni, her first home...a boarded-up but historic and dramatic home to have...a travellors' home...people who lived for the air, like 'amelia', or the 'right stuff', indeed a kind of sam shepard environment, with nothin' but the wind and the howlin' coyotes, with 'sweetie's snack bar boarded up now'....the green pealing paint and boarded up windows..."they're such sky oriented people"...so grier and i didn't know at the time what we'd connected with...only joni could make a busy lawyer like him go off in the midst of business on a pilgrimage to fort macleod...he still has it in his memory...and we 'got it for keeps'.... ciao, shane ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 16:03:22 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: my long fall from grace... njc - --- Coyote4Joni@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 3/28/01 3:12:32 PM Pacific > Standard Time, luvart@snet.net > writes: > > << anyone else get the old eyeball roll > from family and friends when they know you are > e-mailing about joni? >> > > Hi Heather! > > Oh ya, I get that and more.

I've never actually told anybody (except for a friend of mine who is also on the list, maybe not right now, but if so, she's lurking) that I'm on this list nor what this is all about. I just don't think they'd *get* it and maybe I'm too lazy or selfish or paranoid or something to want to try to explain it to them. In fact, I feel really sneaky going in and checking my e-mails. Is that weird or what? Anyone else that way? I have to admit, I tend to be really secretive and quiet about my likes and dislikes. My kids, esp. my daughter, know I'm a joni-fan. My husband ought to know, but he really doesn't pay much attention (now I'm sounding even weirder!) I think since about my mid-teens, I just tend to keep a lot of things to myself (you might not know that from some of the stuff I've said around here). I don't know if this is my middle-child-from-a-family-of-5 side coming out, or the fact that, since I was about 12 or 13, I've pretty much kept things to myself and just done things my own way (to avoid having to lie about things? or having to argue with people about it, when I knew darn well I was just going to do things my own way, regardless of whether they liked it or not?) One of these days I'm going to have to tell them - I'd really like to go to Ashara's thing this year (now that I may actually be able to afford it) and how am I going to explain travelling to the Boston area for Labour Day weekend without explaining WHY I'm going there? (much less whether the kids and their Dad can tolerate each other for that long without my being there) Should I just tell him I'm having an affair and see if he notices? Is anyone else out there as weird as me?

Oh ya, I get that and more. In fact, most of my friends and family think I am weird to have made friends (the people I call my Joni friends) on the Internet. "Aren't you afraid," they ask. Heck no, the people I have met from this list have become fast and enduring friendships. Without exception and more are coming into life daily. In these last few days of List bashing and drama, I can safely say you of kindred spirit have greatly enriched my life. I have learned a lot about Joni, and even more about music in general. People come and people go, just like in the other aspects of life, but I have noticed most people from the List eventually come back. I did. If they don't, when you see them, it's like, "so what's going on with the List." We can't get enough of this stuff. We have a lot to be grateful for folks, five years ago my Joni knowledge was elementary compared to what I know today. Absent this List, I would have probably never known about the Mendel exhibit last summer, a very cool experience. Thanks to you all.

Ahem, Catman, Colin, dearest. I WAS going to reply to say, "What a wonderful idea!" but I'm trying to stop myself from sending *that* kind of post these days, because it is a bit "me-too-ish" and in fact, the mood I'm in these days, I'd probably be sending one of *those* kinds of posts to just about everyone. (Maybe it's one of this hormonal things - hormones - hate'em!) Quite honestly though, I'm not sure what my saying what a great idea that would be would really mean much anyway - if you do do it and there are raffle tickets to buy, you can bet I'd buy some. I made an oblique reference the other day to your sweaters in a P.S. asking you to knit me a sweater and you very kindly send me pictures of some of your work. **Trust me, people, this guy makes beautiful stuff.** I still think it's a good idea, but that and [insert local currency of your choice] will buy you a cup of coffee. I can't see anyone being against the idea either, but maybe people didn't realize they might be expected to reply (?) Anyhoo, I, for one, hope you reconsider.

She sounds great, an example to any singer who's been on the scene since the 60s, been Very Famous, and wants to continue making music; her songs are far more personal now, she doesn't try to take her voice places it doesn't want to go, and looks great, not trying to look any younger than she is (mid 50s). After enchanting us all, she came back for an encore, and guess what? She sang Big Yellow Taxi! She has quite a few Joni tunes in her repertoire, and felt this was the one to go with. It was a great rendition, which breathed life into the old workhorse. I will see if I can get hold of a recording, but I'm not making any promises! Were you there, Arthur?

I was totally not ready for the great job she did on Carey...I underestimated her - all I'd heard from Kiki was that duet with Elton, "Don't Go Breaking My heart", which was a great pop ditty but certainly nothing to write home about. So glad to see she's doing some Joni...maybe BYT will turn up on a record or something!

When I got there, I told her about the interview from Joni's "Voices" art exhibit (recorded on the flip side of cassette), and I thought it would be cool to meet some of the other people on this list, and she just said, "I guess I've never gotten that excited about a musician." (She doesn't know what she's missing, does she?!!) I was so excited to see Joni in concert last May in Chicago. Told several people about it, and only one (1) person said he likes her music. The rest didn't know who I was talking about. :-( - --Nancy-IA (surrounded by corn fields) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 02:22:03 -0500 From: "Nikki Johnson" Subject: Happy Birthday Paz (NJC) Just wanted to be the 1st to wish a very happy birthday (since the fairy must be napping on the job...lol) to my salacious and wonderful friend Michael Paz.
