There have been precious few instrumental musicians that are as readily identifiable and as pervasively influential as Jaco; in naming others very quickly you're mentioning the likes of Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Jimi Hendrix, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Pat Metheny. To have such a clear, strong voice ("voice" being an especially apt word since their instrumental sound is as recognizable as a singing voice might be) and to say such substantial things with it is so utterly rare. The above quote from Metheny is absolutely right on, and as I ponder it over and over in my mind like some kind of Zen koan, it just gets more and more mind-blowing, but also more and more sad that Jaco's comet burned as bright as it did but was here for only a minute. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 05:14:31 -0500 From: les@jmdl.com Subject: Today in History: March 19 On March 19 in Joni Mitchell History: 1967: Joni and Gordon Lightfoot are interviewed today in Philadelphia by Gene Shay. More info: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/670319wmmr.cfm 1968: Joni meets Jimi Hendrix in Ottawa, Canada. Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell wrote "We heard of this great singer in town, called Joni Mitchell ... so we went to this little folk club (Le Hibou) after our gig (at the Capitol Theatre) with Hendrix's tape machine. We were amazed. She was wonderful." Jimi wrote in his diary "Went down to the little club to see Joni - fantastic girl with heaven words - we all go to party - OK - millions of girls. Listen to tapes and smoked back at hotel." In 1994 Joni told Rolling Stone: "I met Jimi Hendrix at the Capitol Theatre in Ottawa, and after his set, he came down, and he brought a big reel-to reel tape recorder. He introduced himself very shyly and said, "Would you mind if I taped your show?" I said, not at all. And later that evening, we went back, we were staying at the same hotel. He and his drummer Mitch, the three of us were talking. It was so innocent. But the management, all they saw was three hippies. We were outcasts anyw! ay. A black hippie! Two men and a woman in the same room. So they kept telling us to play lower. It was a very creative, special night. We were playing like children."

(Remember # 4 is only an hour long.) I will give you all until the end of this month, March 31st, to get in touch with me if you have a defective video. Since I sent these out to be duplicated, I don't want to have to make more than one call to the company to fix the problem. Thanks!

I've tried over and over to register for Jonifest 2002. Each time I answer many questions. Each time I get to the end of the list, and when I try to register, I'm accosted by a window which tells me, "You must type YES to accept the terms of agreement." Needless to say, I've already typed YES in the only place I can do so. Maybe it's a Mac problem. In the meantime, I'm ready to fill out that form yet again, I have my credit card ready, and I'm prepared to attend Jonifest 2002 even as a camper. I'll try yet again. But I'm getting more than a little pissed off that it's so hard to do. Sorry for the bandwidth. But if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

This led me to explore the rather large stack of sheet music that I brought from Ohio, which brought back dozens of memories as I gazed at the covers ... so many songs we used to play and sing together around the piano ... but I digress. I found quite a few books of music for the accordion, one of which is an instruction method for "junior" players, for 12, 24, and 48 bass instruments. Now I know that Mom's smaller accordion is a 48 bass (as opposed to the much larger accordion, recently identified by Sharon the Beekeeper as a 120 bass). Mom bought the 48 bass, used, with the bellows strap detached. It didn't occur to me until two days ago that it might be very easy to repair it -- and it was, using two plastic molly bolts and appropriate screws. Oh, how I wish I'd thought of this 15 years ago! Since I didn't, I'm determined to learn to play (maybe in time for Jonifest, maybe not).

I'm no geopolitical expert but a few economic examples come to mind: If Europe gets no more oil, as happened in 73, a big recession follows and US exports to Europe go down. Also the US wants to avoid using up its natural fuel reserves. Then I believe a lot of this has to do with the US government indirectly subsidizing the american conglomerates involved in defense related fields.

I guess the timing of your post caused me to interpret it as a defense of capitalism, which was never the argument anyway. I was railing against corporatism and the effects of massive wealth on our daily lives, it's influence in government, etc.As well as questioning the legal structures that insulate the super wealthy from the rules that the rest of us are bound to. We agree that Joni is not part of that. > > If you can think of another songwriter who has so consistently examined the > issue of money and its effect on individuals (particularly herself) and > society, I would love to know who s/he is. I can't! I think part of her motivation in writing "For Free" or "while my Limo is shining on these shanty streets" is that she is a deep thinker, and has to ponder sometimes the peculiar set of forces that has made her "rich and fey" while the guy on the corner is putting just as much heart and soul into his thing and getting pennies. As you and others have pointed out, her success is also a result of hard work, determination, and smart business. But without the the foundation of being first and foremost an extraordinary artist, she would not have had the kind of success she has had. You can't polish a turd, as music biz types say. > Perhaps you're right, and that little > bit of doggerel she wrote for Time magazine was humor rather than > self-assessment.

I'm sorry you misunderstood me. I'm sorry if I did, too. I also reread it, and it was well thought-out and made some good points. My interpretation of it as a defence of having money or capitalism (which I never argued against) came from a few statements and the tone of the post: But she had to set up a corporation or two to do that, and when it comes to her wealth, she was more than ready to let Eliot Roberts invest her earnings in real estate which may still account for much of her income. So Joni's a capitalistic so-and-so. IMHO, she deserves everything she has. Finally, the word "corporation" is nothing but a noun in the English language. There is nothing intrinsically wrong or right about it. It's all in the application.... That's for sure, but murder, rape, and Barry Manilow are just words, too......call them what you will, corporations are running rampant..... that was my original point, and the Joni quotes make my point better than I. Thanks for your input, and as Bob pointed out, bringing it back around to Joni.

I have been listening to that Trouble Child of an album "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" for about a week in the car. When this thing was new, the public stayed away in droves. Joni got no airplay. A year later, there were tons and tons of "cutout" LPs of DJRD, a result of the company giving up on "moving" the already-pressed copies. After marveling at DJRD anew, I went back to the liner notes to discover that Wayne Shorter and Jaco Pasotius were on this album. It is always one of my favorites. Joni herself said in JazzTimes April 2002, >>It was no longer a team player, a good supportive player; it was personality that deserved to be in the foreground. We were conceptually kindred. And to my amazement, not only was he doing some of things I was asking people to do but he was playing Stravinsky figures in the upper middle register and fitting them in all the right places. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 14:40:03 -0500 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu \(Lama\)" Subject: "Painting With Words and Music" If you missed it the other day on tv, it's available for purchase on either DVD or VHS Hi-Fi.

As I remember it, Joni definitely wanted to have some fans among the industry wheels, hence her management contacted Wally, who contacted jmdlers he thought might be able to make it - this was just a few days before the taping. Other jmdlers signed up to be "seat fillers" (when audience members have to take a bathroom break) and I think all who did ended up getting to see all or most of the show. >2.Did any of you get to speak to Joan afterwards?

Traditionally, a Russian's given middle name is a "patronymic," i.e., formed from the first name of the father. For instance, the 1950s and early 1960s Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (read: dictator), Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, would have been called "Nikita Sergeyevich" by anyone on a first-name basis with him (!), and his middle name was "Sergeyevich" because his father's first name was "Sergei."
