The Mariposa Folk Festival began in Orillia -- 100 miles north of Toronto - -- a year or two after I moved from there to the U.S. Alas I never had the privilege of seeing any of it, although before we left I *was* lucky enough to see Gordon Lightfoot play at the Orillia Opera House as half of a duo, then called The Two Tones (formerly The Two Timers). So much for the great Canadian folk tradition. I've seen Joni only once, at the Troubadour in L.A., in 1968 it must have been. I have a vague recollection that she had the (unfinished?) painting to CLOUDS on stage with her, and she sang a lot of songs from that forthcoming album. Explained that "fear is like a wilderland" in I Think I Understand was inspired by Tolkien. Sang "a medley of [her] hit," Both Sides Now, and as an encore led the audience in singing along to The Circle Game, with help from Buffy St. Marie on the ground floor and Graham Nash upstairs. > >To tell the truth, none of these concerts matched the first one I saw in >1968 for sheer magic and beauty. Transcendental indeed. This was before her vibrato widened. I missed her when she did the Dylan/Morrison tour (although, oddly, I finally saw Dylan a year later when he toured with Paul Simon). I've only seen her on occasional television appearances, heard her on every new album, and still treasure my laser disc of Shadows and Light. My coworkers, late 20s and early 30s, today wax rhapsodic on Joni, and here am I, old enough to be their father, nodding right along with them. >NP: I finally bought Nick Drake's Pink Moon CD.

I too have honey bees. Nothing like fresh honey. Still waiting for the killer bees to show up like promised but haven't got here yet. Thank goodness. Of course, I said that for years about the fire ants but they arrived late last fall and are now everywhere. Their name is a little misleading, hehe, they don't like fire. I douse them with gasoline and then set them ablaze. They only think they are fire ants. I am intent on getting them off of my farm. They are said to kill red ants and I cannot have that. I protect them at all costs. They are the only thing that horny toads can eat and there are many of them still here, though they are rapidly disappearing from the landscape, the experts say. I have 6 red ant beds and feed them regularly. Back to the honey. I like to toast my bread and spread the peanut butter on it and then drip the honey atop it. The butter is then soft and gooey. Yum. It is so strange about these products. I cannot imagine no Peter Pan. I thought they were everywhere. Have never heard of the real brand. Only skippy, jif, and peter pan; and the store brands. Just goes to show that the big old world is out there. My poor mama. She does freeze some things but still stands over that hot stove with the jars. I keep saying that I will learn the trick from her but can never stand the agony of it. My job has always been to pick the fruit up off of the ground and haul it in the house. My dad peels. Wild plums grow by the roadside. Pear trees produce fruitfully. Peaches. And then there are the vegetables. My dad, 89, just cannot stop having a garden and it is huge every year. But yum again. Not to count the chickens that I still raise. Killing and preparing chickens is something we still do though I can hardly stand the killing part but one can only keep so many roosters per so many hens. The fresh eggs are the best.

First of all, there were many things I loved about Britain, and many things I hated. I think that's true of any place. When you go somewhere on vacation, you tend to get caught up in the excitement and see everything through rose tinted glasses. But if you spend alot of time in another place, you learn so much about life and about yourself too. You find out that some of it is just as wonderful as you thought, and some of it is not at all what you thought it would be. Many of the Brits I got to know would say things like: "Americans are loud and obnoxious." That would offend me, and I would say, "Well, you guys are boring and inhibited." I struggled to remain the loud, obnoxious American that I was, but as time went by, I noticed that you get stared at alot (often cold stares), or people in restaraunts would eavesdrop on your conversations. After awhile, my family got more quiet, and lost some of our carefree expression. I'm not neccessarily saying this was a bad thing, just a different culture and a different way of living. I became more polite, not as brash, not because I was a copycat, but because their ways began to rub off on me. The first time I went back to America for a visit was four years after I'd left, and it was a culture shock. I was in this monorail in an airport, and everybody was talking so loud, and I felt like I didn't relate. What used to really amuse me was when I'd vacation somewhere like Italy, and there would be American tourists there, and they would say everything at the top of their lungs, as if to say, "Hey, look at me! I'm traveling abroad! I'm special!" And actually, it was annoying, and I could see why Europeans would say that about us, just like we have our things we say about them, like they are reserved and uptight, or whatever. At the end of the day, it's stereotypes, which have some elements of truth, but are not true about everyone, certainly. I met Brits that I found to be amusing and down to earth, and I met some that were so snobby I wanted to knock them down a peg or two, but I think that would be true of any culture. There are things that I like better about America than Britain, but there are also things that I like more about Britain than America, like the fact that their pace of life seems to be slower and they don't seem as competitive with each other as in America. They don't seem as greedy and spoiled as we do over here, and that is refreshing. I was pulled out of the rat race for a while and got to discover things about myself that I didn't know. I have a better view of different races of people than I did before, and that has taught me much. I would recommend to anybody that was ever offered the chance to live abroad for awhile to go for it. You may come to appreciate the ways others live better than the way you do, and you also may come to love America even more for the freedoms we possess that many other nations don't.

How odd... I notice that one of the actors, Andrea Menard, is someone I went to high school with. I think she was a year or two younger than me, but I hung out for a short while with her stoner brother, who was affectionately nicknamed "Dirtnut". I knew Andrea was an actor, and heard that she had some sort of lounge act in Saskatoon, but this freaked me out. Actually, come to think of it, we acted in a play together in grade nine -- We were both in The Twelth Night, where she was some major character and I was this pathetic "Second Guard" who had like 5 lines, the longest being "I arrest you in the name of the Duke Orseno" or whatever the hell his name was in the play. Yup, she got all the glory, while I was hideously self-conscious about having to wear tights that left nothing to the imagination... I have a good friend in Wpg who has a son who is an actor. I'll try and make them check it out and find out what the hell this thing is about.

This is amazing. I don't think we've ever heard stories here from anyone who was at this performance. A bunch of us have a recording from the Troubadour in 1969, but this definitely sounds like a different show. It may be that you attended her first ever appearance in L.A. right before Song to a Seagull was released. It makes me wonder - with all the reocrdings we have collectively acquired here - why we don't have this one (or at least it hasn't seen the light of day). > Hope this message interests somebody.

Nah, we're just like big friendly dogs that have been pent up too long and get rambunctious when we get let out in a new place ;-) I sometimes wonder about the basis of some European attitudes towards Americans. Maybe a lot is what people see in movies and TV. I think American films and TV tend a lot to portray over-the-top characatures and stereotypes, which Americans might guffaw at and find amusing but perhaps are taken as typical of us in other countries. The British and other foreign films, on the other hand, tend to portray themselves as more noble, charming, endearing or deep and not so much as complete buffoons. This take on "foreigners" happens even within the U.S., especially against Californians ;-) When I was in college just "next door" in Arizona, a lot of people who just go on and on with every slam in the book against Californians. Needless to say, I didn't leave there with such warm feelings after college (although I had great friends from Chicago and had acquired a Chicago accent by the time I left). Our northern neighbors Oregon and Washington like to have a go with us, too ;-) I was in a Starbucks in Portland a few years ago and all I said was "Latte, please" and the woman at the counter immediately glared at me and said "you're from California aren't you?" When I asked how she knew she said "I can tell by your accent!" Sheesh! At any rate, I've met or "met" some really fantastic and seriously nice jmdlers from the U.K. here and have been really bowled over by their charm and generosity. I hope they don't say I'm obnoxious behind my back! ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 22:42:58 EST From: Reuben3rd@aol.com Subject: Re: tips for vacationing with the limeys (njc) > I love smooth with grape jelly. (Bree) ick! grape jam? (Colin) Reuben: Actually its not "jelly" like I think you might be thinking...I spent a long time in England while I was in college, and these were the sort of useless things that I loved to learned. In Britian, "jelly" is what I call "Jell-O". Jelly to me is jam that is strained, leaving no remnant of the original fruit, which is why I love it - but not a desert like Jell-O. Grape jam does sound awful, doesn't it? I agree with Bree: peanut butter (smooth) and grape jelly (not Jell-O) on horrible soft white bread is the best way to go IMHO, and is only second to mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort food. Are there any Joni references to jam or jelly? I can hear one in my head but might be making it up. I'll see if I can find any on the JMDL site.

(I picked up a copy of 'Colors of the Day' at a local discount store - an HDCD remaster for only $8.97! What a steal!) 'Jacque Brel is Alive & Well' was performed as a directing class final in the Theatre dept of the university I attended and I've never forgotten it. I think Joni's music would do very well in this type of cabaret/theatrical type setting. Mark E. np: Judy Collins singing Cohen's 'Suzanne' - more synchonicity. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 23:01:25 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Prairie Theatre Exchange presents "Joni Mitchell: River" inWinnipeg <> Well, the director, who WAS Corky from "Guffman", recorded every show at least once, so I'm sure it exists on videotape. I've never seen it, although I have seen some of the shows he taped, "Falsettos" and "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" being my favorites.

(there are > three kinds of people in this world.. smooth,crunchy&extra crunchy types) When I used to go to my grandparent's house at the beach in Sarasota, I always had peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches and I'd open up the sandwich and put potato chips inside...I guess it made it extra specially crunchy. For some odd reason, that was the only place I ever made that sandwich like that. Brings back lots of memories.

When I asked how she knew she said "I can tell by your accent!" LOL! Too funny, Kakki! As a transplant from the midwest I guess I really can't say much about Californians. I certainly never knew there was an accent! She probably had you pegged because you simply ordered a latte. In Seattle (in Portland as well, I suspect) you don't just order a latte. You order a double tall 2% easy on the foam and not too hot with a shot of vanilla (or the flavor of your choice - eggnog lattes are very popular at Christmas time - the very thought of eggnog & coffee mixed up together makes me shudder). All the California JMDLers I've met are wonderful people. And one of my favorite people lives in Long Beach and she is a native Californian.
