The last three days or so have been hectic with work and accountants,I have had very little time for my babies. So when I came home a little bit ago they all,poor things, were starved for attention. (Ollie the poodle, Jack the big cat,Bear,Rusty,Frankie and my newest addition.. Junior.) Having not eaten all day I was starving. While fixing pan-seared salmon .......the eyes of all six of them were upon me. Guilt got the best of me and all six enjoyed the salmon with me. Unlike children..they didn't mind a bit that Joni was my dinner music. ;-) Bree > >Animals want more attention.

I play piano some myself, and enjoyed learning some of her songs like "He played real good for free" and "Willie". Go for it! I did want to remark on her piano playing and say that she often sounds like she's playing in a "mijor" key, which is neither major or minor, but something in between. One of my favorite piano moments from her is in "Blue" right after she sings, "Lots of laughs...lots of laughs..." Then she plays a few stray notes, and then there's that beautiful key change to get her back to "Everybody's saying that Hell's the hippest way to go out..." Definitely one of the best. I wish I had the music for it. My other fave piano tunes are "Court and Spark," "Down To You," and "Lesson In Survival." Did you think of including "Sweet Bird" or "Boho Dance" from HOSL in your anthology? They have some lovely piano chords, too.

This may seem like a silly question, but I have always wondered,is Fannie Flagg a lesbian? Not that this has been on top of the list, but just curious.

I mentioned several weeks ago of a Joni mention in Bentley Little's,The Association. p.66.... He sorted through his pile of vinyl and put on an old Joni Mitchell record,staring out at the view. There was something about those folkies of the late sixties/early seventies that complemented nature,that understood the rural lifestyle. There was a wistfulness in the music as well,a tinge of melancholy that somehow bridged the hopes of that era with the reality of today and subtly pointed the disparity. This was music that spoke to him. Of course,Joni Mitchell herself was no longer the Joni Mitchell of those early albums. The last time he'd seen her,on VH-1 at one of those charity concerts,she'd been droning on in a cigarette-ravaged voice,stopping in midsong to lecture the crowd for not paying close enough attention to her lyrics. She'd seemed angry and bitter,a far cry from the open,giggly young woman captured on the live MILES OF Aisles,and it had been depressing and dispiriting to realize how much time and people have changed. With the music on, his creative energy returned........... - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob and everyone,has this guy got his facts mixed up? I can't imagine Joni lecturing to her fans about paying closer attention to her lyrics. It doesn't ring true. I know this is a piece of fiction, but... get your facts straight. There is a joni mention in book I read about a year ago, as soon as I can come up with the title, I'll post it.

You are right, that taste is a funny thing. hehe > Leslie Howard was considered quite the dashing matinee idol in his day and was also a very good actor. But I never pictured Ashley Wilkes that way. In my mind he looked more like Alan Jackson! Isn't that a hoot?! I've also heard that Leslie Howard didn't want to make GWTW, didn't read even bother to read the book and made absolutely no attempt to cover up his British accent. Vivian Leigh did a pretty darn good job of sounding like a southern belle but every now & then her British sort of crept through. It's pretty hard to be consistent with an accent that you weren't raised with. For Meryl Streep, however, no problem! Now Clark Gable...WOOF! He was sexy! ;-) Mark E. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2002 22:50:56 -0800 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: Re: njc How are you > liking Volcano? Thanks for the recommendation. Gonna have to get that one. > Had not heard about it. I really have to listen to 'Girl At Her Volcano' a few more times. I was sort of on Rickie Lee overload for awhile and so I kinda gave her a break. But 'Live at Red Rocks' has got me hungry for her again! And by the way, I still haven't listened to Joni this year.
