I went to Borders yesterday hoping I could find it. Does anyone know if this going to be released at any time? I'd settle for just the single, or maybe Bob can burn it for me somehow on my next Joni bootleg or covers request? ;~) Christmas has always been an emotional time for me. Many of the older listers know, I suffered a great deal of loss at this time of year. I lost my brother Richard on Xmas Eve 3 years ago and my Mom on the 21st, 6 years ago, so these painful memories always puts a damper on this joyous occasion. So yesterday I bravely go over to my Aunt Rose's house where the whole Coppola clan gathers for dessert. Now mind you I have a LARGE Italian family. My mother, Angelina was the first born of nine children, of which 3 are deceased. I have 18 cousins on that side of the family and their spouses and children. There were canoles, cheesecakes, cream puffs....mamma mia!! I think I gained back the 8 pds I've lost over these very stressful months. The house reeks of cigarette smoke and the 13 fishes meticulously cooked by Aunt Rose the day before. (she's the younger sister, but the keeper of all of Grandma's recipes) So here we go and I can barely get my coat off and I'm being squeezed to smithereens but Aunt Rosie. I try to make my way through to den where all the "men" are gathered with "The Godfather" airing on the TV, when out of the corner of my eye I see my 85 yr. old Uncle Mike is heading straight towards me. Now I'm a little concerned because he's a little unsure of his steps, but impressed that he's made such an effort. Here's a man who use to be cold as ice mainly due to his wife leaving him many years ago. OK, so now we're all seated at the dining room table which has been extended many lengths into the living room with the delicacies I mentioned earlier. I'm babbling away about something and Uncle Mike looks over to me and says"Ya know I can't look you in the eye, you look just like your moth...He breaks down and starts bawling his eyes out. His only child Jerry Sue sitting next to him comforting him. He leaves the table to compose himself. So now we're all left feeling a little depressed. I try to come up with some philosophical words of healing. And so this is Christmas... The rest of my cousins arrive. Dolores who is seemingly a survivor of breast cancer lightens the load with her bubbly laughter and we start getting down to some drinks, smiles and a cozy fire. She and Mario are having us all over New Year's Eve to forget 2001 and celebrate the New Year with family and friends so dear. Good health, happiness and love will be the toast this year. Thanks for letting me ramble on. oh and happy birthday Gregg! Love you dude ;~) Much love to my extended family, Rose NP: Carey w/Kakki, Nikki, Alison, Claudia,Leslie, Kristine and Chris M. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2001 13:12:27 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Christmas 2001 (njc) <> You know I'd do it too, Rose...we'll figure something out. And you're right about Christmas being such an emotional time...especially for those of us in the 40's and up, because there are so many memories attached to people, some of whom are no longer with us. This was the first Christmas since my wife's father died, and even though he was always bitching about everything, it seemed strange not having him around. Also this year, in the wake of 9-11, there seemed to be a deeper appreciation of the friends and family around you.

I thought it would be only directly related to news/info on her and her art. I must say I am very disappointed and a little irritated by all the NON-joni communications on this list too. Some of it seems more appropriate for personal/one-to-one email rather than for others who come to this site because of Joni Mitchell.

I enjoy getting info on other people who cover her songs, or where people heard her music playing.

With the cigarette smoke and the wonderful aromas from all the goodies you mentioned. Very sad about your brother......jeez and on Christmas Eve and your mother too, so close to Christmas. I'm so sorry. Please ramble anytime. And Anne, the line you mentioned from I'll be home for Christmas,"Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow" That is indeed a heart-string tugger. MaryK had given me a a good trivia question to ask at my families get-together:"What is generally considered to be the world's oldest novel and who wrote it?" As I was writing it down so people could read and write their answers, I thought this might be a little too tuff. This is NOT the most erudite group. Although fun and loving......WE lack in smarts. :-) And I was right, no one was able to answer the question. So I had to change it after a hour or so because of few guesses and WRONG answers. I came up with a pure guess question:"How many buckeyes did I make this year?" The closest answer wins. (935) (My niece,Christina,won with a guess of,939) Thanks anyway,MaryK,nice try. And one other thing..... I am so thankful too in belonging to this group. I think it was Mack who posted recently something to the effect he could write and share and "WE" would understand. I guess he meant he was comfortable enough with US.

As far as disappointing, I can get this kind of attitude anywhere, anytime since it is very prevalent. The NJC tag is exactly so that people that find other items disappointing won't have to read them. Mistakes do happen, however, since we are all human here. Never has irritated me though even when I find something that doesn't necessarily interest me. I am not on the only Joni content list since I want more but it is sad, to me, that someone can listen to the music and words of Joni Mitchell and even post something like this. How can someone who claims to understand Joni Mitchell even have these kinds of sentiments? Sad. mack > HI everyone, > I went through the other options for receiving jmdl news, found too much > other chatter about so much non-related info, so got the "joni only content" > digest.

Hello, I have two reactions to this. 1) please lighten up, it's christmastime. people want to send the occasional holiday greeting message or share their christmas experiences, I don't see why that should be a problem. The other non-JC stuff, well, as Mack said, people do make mistakes. 2) from a technical POV, what would fix this is all content assumed to be NJC unless specified otherwise. That way, instead of an "NJC" tag, we would put a "JC" tag on anything with Joni content. I think that would eliminate the "false positive" Joni content. But then you'd have the other problem; some JC would go unlabeled because people would forget. what do all of you think about this?

I checked my e-mail a couple of times while I was there, but my sister's computer and her internet connection are both maddingly slow, so I skimmed last week's digests, and haven't sent any messages until now. Thanks for all the mondegreens! I haven't read all of the digests in detail yet, but it looks like there's some fun ones there. The dictionary of homophones I ordered from Amazon.com before I left was waiting for me when I got home, so between that and your posts I'm hoping to get inspired. Once the new semester starts and I have access to a slide scanner I'll post a couple of recent pieces to my web site so you can see what I'm working on. I saw a mention of concept albums in a recent post. My favorite is The Who Sell Out, a great album which is unfortunately overshadowed by Tommy and Quadrophenia. It may very well be The Who's best album, but it seems unknown to all but fairly hardcore Who fans. OK, gotta go pick up my partner at the airport. Happy New Year eveyone!

Can you (meaning I) send these things (mp3s) as attachments? I mean, I know you *can* - I tested it by sending one to myself, but I got some kind of warning from my ISP about clearing out my mailbox (it may have been that I was sending it from my sympatico account to the same account which may have confused things) I can send it to people if this is something that can be done without screwing things up and will do so if you ask (but not without your permission, of course, and can't send to the list, (I don't think this thing supports attachments does it?)

Otherwise, downloading the morpheus software from Musiccity.com is quite easy - after all, I was able to do it, so there you go. Anyhow, I know what you mean about Christmas being a sentimental time. There are years (and this is one of them) where I'd prefer to run away from it all. I imagine a cabin in the woods. It's surrounded by snow. I have no idea how I got there - there are no footprints or tracks of any kind anywhere. There's a roaring fire in the fireplace. There aren't a lot of people there, and not one who pisses me off (therefore, the father of my children isn't there, now that's my idea of paradise, but I digress ;] ) It's two years ago this very day that I saw my father alive for the last time. He died January 25, 2000, so of course I think of him at Christmas. And my Mum who died a few years earlier, but once Dad was gone, that was it - I was forced to become a grownup and believe me, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. I miss the Christmases my whole family would get together at my parents' place and the turkey and the whole bit. At Christmas 1999, because my Dad and my stepmother had spent Christmas Day itself with my stepmum's family, we did the McKay family Christmas on Boxing Day. Usually Dad acted as Santa and, after dinner, he would call out the kids' names and they'd come and collect their presents - they'd always be antsy as hell and wired on sugar and they couldn't wait a minute longer, or they'd probably burst from excitement. That last Christmas, Dad had gotten quite shaky from the Parkinsons' and he couldn't manage very well picking things up, and his voice had gotten quite weak, so I moved up over beside him and helped him out. This Christmas was a very quiet one. I had the ex over - after all, he is the father of my children and, as long as he doesn't hang around too long, I can handle him without wanting to smack him one. I cooked a turkey and mashed potatoes, home-made cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, green beans and carrots with fresh mint; mocha cake for dessert. It was a pretty spare Christmas gift-wise, because there's not a lot of money around right now (thanks to a certain jobless bum who will remain nameless but if I don't help him out, I may have to take him back - and I'd rather walk off a cliff), but I wanted the dinner to be a good one and the kids to be happy, and I think they were (if a bit disappointed in the few gifts they got this year, but they had been warned they probably wouldn't be getting too much this year.) I appreciate the fact that JT uses the "until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow" line rather than the "Hang a shining/shiny star upon the highest bough" that almost everyone else sings. I prefer the muddling bit, because it's much more realistic and far less saccharine than the shiny star. ______________________________________________________ Send your holiday cheer with http://greetings.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2001 23:02:54 EST From: FMYFL@aol.com Subject: dec.27th (NJC) Deputy B.F.

Get the picture? The green go-aheads I'm guessing are heels. The entire ensemble describes a sort of a stereotypical kind of slobby "American" look. But the go-aheads (I haven't heard that term since the 50s) are rubber flip-flops. ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2001 20:23:55 -0800 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: dec.27th (and 23rd and 27th) (NJC) A most wonderful birthday wish to the Grand Poobah of all birthday fairies and Argentinian "freedom fighter," Wally K! ;-) Also belated best birthday wishes to John Low Down Under and the fantastic Gregg Cagno!

The go-aheads (maybe it's a Californism) are thongs, flip-flops, clackers, specifically cheap ones. My mom (native N.Cal) called them that in the 60's.
