I don't have any problem with her voice. And I am readily able to hear the underlying melodies and chords regardless of instrumentation or other trappings of presentation. My disappointment is in the actual note choices of those melodies and chords. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 02:15:58 EDT From: FredNow@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni mondegreens "Kate Bennett" writes: >But lets not talk about fair thee wells now, the night is a starry dome >And they're playing that scratchy rock n roll beneath the mantle of the >moon I never questioned exactly what a moon's mantle might be...something like >a starry dome i thought.... Of course we all know it's "Matala moon" but actually it could have been "mantle of the moon" ... the mantle of a planet or moon is the portion below the crust and above the core. So they might have been playing rock 'n roll down in the core of the moon, kind of a Jules Verne thing. Or a Hades thing. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 02:40:52 EDT From: FredNow@aol.com Subject: Re: published NJC colin writes: >I got my MK Monthly today.

Reminds me of hearing one of my tunes on the radio ... at first I think "Man, this sounds really familiar" then "Man, this sounds really good" then "Hey, it's me!" All this happens in the space of three seconds. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 02:44:21 EDT From: FredNow@aol.com Subject: AK&US njc CHRIS TREACY writes: >PS.

I've heard them twice, have several records, and they are uncanny in their ability to do it live as perfectly (and as juicily) as they do it on record, and as easily as chewing gum. It's musical execution on the level of world class classical musicians ... only the genre is different. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 02:53:57 EDT From: FredNow@aol.com Subject: Re: How does Joni choose her tunings?

Baroque composer Domenico Scarlatti based his "Cat Fugue" on a subject (the term for the main theme of a fugue) supposedly derived from the notes that resulted when his cat walked across his harpsichord's keyboard. It is an unusual sequence of notes, and very beautiful, whether true or not. - -Fred ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2002 #177 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
