What a revelation. Joni's performance is intimate and soulful & Klein's piano is exquisite. Every fan of Joni needs to hear this. It takes my breath away. I also like the Man from Mars rendition, but I think the TTT version is equally valid - and after listening to Joni's description of the sounds she was trying to capture (see Morning Becomes Eclectic 3/27/98) I think the TTT version is more successful in reproducing those sounds. Now on to Alexander Memorial; Atlanta 11/07/98. What a magnificent concert. Joni's voice is in top shape. I love the way she attacks Magdelene Laundries after the rude idiot screams. Chris Botti is fantastic - is he better than Isham? BSN (not a favorite of mine) is wonderful. It sounds to me as if she was already planning the subsequent orchestration by the way the accompaniment sounds in concert. Was Joan playing the guitar on that tune? And of course "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JONI" Anyway this is all GREAT stuff. peace, david ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 12:27:32 -0600 From: evian Subject: Steve and FM njc Kakki wrote: > The consecutive "Future Games," "Bare Trees" and > "Mystery to Me" albums were incredible.

Also, "Thoughts on a Grey Day" from Bare Trees is the coolest little thing. In addition to Future Games, I'd recommend Penguin, an album most seem to dismiss, but there are a couple of gems on there, in particular "Did you ever love me", and McVie's "Remember Me" shoulda been a hit -- it would be irresistible on AM radio. Also, Then Play On is awesome, if you want to check out the blues roots of the band. Ok, I promise, I'm off my FM posting kick...

Hi, all, Sorry about not labelling this "njc" but quite a number of SF Bay jmdlers are Joni-onlies and wouldn't get this message otherwise... It's been over a week since I last said anything about this -- sorry -- been busy on the home front -- but as it stands: We seem to be (regionally speaking) a group of two natures: Those just wishing to say hi, chat a little, and listen to music played by others; and those wishing to get together and jam and party at least somewhat hearty. My suggestion: Those wishing to chat a little and listen to new / breakthrough / struggling singer-songwriters do their stuff, should show up at the Bazaar Cafe in San Francisco at around 6 on Wednesday, Feburary 6th (or earlier if you want more time to eat and or chat -- it's hard to order food and impossible to talk once the music starts, unless you want to wait until late in the evening). The Bazaar Cafe is at 5927 California Street, in the Richmond District (just north of Golden Gate Park). At the very least, I, my partner Robert and Richard G. will be there. The Bazaar is a wonderful place, the kind of place Joni might have played in 35 years ago, with good, cheap food and a cozy atmosphere. The singers on that night will be the MC, a charming and gifted local singer-songwriter named Garrin Benfield, plus two others. I've been to this First Wednesday thing three times so far, and have yet to be disappointed. Now a substantial number of people can't do a weekday, and a substantial number of people want to be able to jam. Sometime in the near future, if all goes well, (please keep your fingers crossed -- we are), Robert and I are going to be moving into his mom's house -- it needs work, but it's a house, with lots of room and a piano (yay!!!) -- and when that happens, we will have a place of sufficient size that we can have jmdl get-togethers more or less at will, and jam into the night, at least until the police come. :-) In the meantime -- alas, we can't do a jam at the Bazaar on a Friday or Saturday night, because they always have professionals doing gigs on those nights (the Bazaar has a piano, too, so it's too bad). I'm going to inquire at the two local cafes in my neighborhood. Momi Toby's is a 20-second walk from my place, and a 2-minute walk for John G. (another jmdl member who I think mostly lurks -- hi, John), but I don't know whether it allows people to play and sing and stuff, especially on weekends. There's also, in my neighborhood, the Sidewalk Cafe, and I haven't scoped it out at all yet. I'll check out both places real soon, and report by, say, midweek. In the meantime, if there's anyone in the Bay Area who has, or knows of, a place big enough (and preferably piano-supplied, for me and Russ B. and presumably others) to accomodate us on a weekend night, PLEASE contact me, or write us all at the list (please DON'T do "njc", or some people won't get the news), and let us know. I'm sure we can work something out soon.

If I were going to put my toe in the water w/r/t Miles, would that be a good place to start with, or would I be swamped? Should I start with that one, or another one? All advice welcome.

Hi, all, I was chatting with another jmdler the other day, and we got talking about musical heroes, and he was intrigued to hear mine (in addition to Joni, the first-stringers are Laura Nyro, Burt Bacharach and Jimmy Webb -- all of whom stretched boundaries or broke rules in their own way; there's like a 17-way tie for fifth place at the moment...I can't decide between Jane Siberry RLJ, Peter Gabriel, Sting and 13 others...) Anyway, I was amused when watching Airplane II the other day, in a scene where two guys got on an elevator where in which there was playing "elevator music" (thank god, I don't think they do that anymore on elevators -- people just havbe to look at the numbers going up, or look at their shoes) -- Webb's MacArthur Park as they got on, and Bacharach's Raindrops as they got off. It could just as well have been Both Sides Now and Stoney End. :-) As I said, thank god they don't so this anymore on elevators -- in fact, the practice of removing all energy and style from music for this kind of purpose seems to have all but disappeared -- where there is musack to he beard, they seem more likely now to play the originals -- or am I wrong?

No, you are right on this.

Synchronicity strikes again! I was just wondering the same thing yesterday. For some reason, the song came into my head and the thought stuck me that it could have been about JT. Before that, I thought Joni was singing about herself. I don't think this has come up on the list before (not since I've been here anyway) or, if it has, I missed it. ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 17:54:59 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: (njc) elevator music... - --- Kakki wrote: > Lately I've been > literally startled to hear real > Joni played in unlikely places like Rite-Aid (chain > drug store), the chain > chicken cafe in my building and even Jack in the > Box!

I should add that this information is as of 2+ to 5+ years ago, for Margo as quasi-solo performer with Mark as accompanist, and might be different for Mad Agnes as of 2002.

Also, "Thoughts on a Grey Day" > from Bare Trees is the coolest little thing. I do have a vinyl copy of 'Bare Trees'. A friend turned me on to that album in college. I agree that 'Thoughts on a Grey Day' is very cool indeed. I also like the songs 'Sentimental Wind', 'Bare Trees' and Christine's 'Spare Me a Little of Your Love'. The boot I have must have been recorded at a transitional time for the band soon after Lindsey & Stevie joined as it has some of their old songs on it mixed in with some of the new. 'Spare Me a Little of Your Love' is also on this record as well as 'Station Man'.

I've only seen her in that film and I thought she was kind of androgynous-looking at first - certainly not the typical "beauty" (big teeth, big hair) that you'd see in a N-Amer. flick. When I say ordinary-looking, I mean "normal" looking - she could be the woman next door - she looks like someone you could meet and really talk to, not like someone who's constantly worrying about her looks and her weight - a regular person. But, I do have really crappy eyesight and was recently diagnosed with a cataract, so maybe that explains it. ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 19:33:06 -0800 (PST) From: Lori in MD Subject: Re: Kilauren's birthdate (JM poetic license?) Hell mused: > Maybe it was a simple case of "born with the moon in cancer" sounding > better than "born with the sun in aquarius"!? It's surely possible (although probably none of us want to believe that Joni would take "poetic license" in a song about her daughter's birth and adoption). After all, "The masking tape tangles" certainly worked better than "The electrical tape tangles" would have, however inaccurate. (Okay, Joni did sort of save it with, "It's sticky and black," but after 25 years it's STILL a pet peeve!) Lori NPIMH: Electricity ~ Yahoo! Auctions Great stuff seeking new owners!
