Well, on this list, we could say that Happiness is Joni! :-) Here are a few others: Happiness is elusive. Happiness is contagious. Happiness is barefoot toes on summer sand. Happiness is friends that make you feel warm. Happiness is coming home. Happiness is being wanted. Happiness is good love. lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 06 Jul 2002 14:47:30 +0100 From: colin Subject: Re: Blank to Happiness, NJC > Happiness is .... a long manic phase....... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2002 10:27:27 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: The rapist in the pool Always cool to see Joni in The Greenville News! This morning's paper has a nice small pic along with Joni's Canadian award. Cool! On another note, some of you may recall that we had a brief discussion regarding the line from "Sex Kills" mentioned in the subject line. I was baffled about what she meant, whether it was literal or symbolic or what. Well, last night I was doing a tape-to-disc transfer of her August 5, '94 Press Conference after her performance at the Edmonton Folk Festival, and lo & behold there's my answer! Here's what Joni says: "...and also there was this new kind of rape that had developed called 'whirlpooling', which is corralling the young girl in a public swimming pool, you know, doubly-daring, so, broad daylight rape in a crowded place, and that had become the new sport in New York City and parts of Los Angeles, so the rapist in the pool refers to that."

While I can't play the DVD-A tracks, there is a DVD Dolby Digital 5.1 recording on it also mixed by Larry Klein. The DVD-A tracks are not remixed by him. The 5.1 mix is wonderful. The sound is realistic concert hall acoustic. The real treat is the direct center placement of Joni's voice, right in the middle of the orchestra. This can realistically be done only with multi channel recording because the center stage in stereo is phantom, not actual. Joni's voice is truly up front" like a real Big Band Girl Singer sand is a delight to hear. The DVD-A is worth getting, though hard to find. Just heard from Victor and entourage. They are in Sarasota and heading to my house in St. Petersburg. Looking so forward to seeing him!

"An update for July's New York appearances... "July 10 "Virgin IN-STORE "Virgin Megastore, Union Square 7pm "Please come if you can. I was traumatized by one of these long ago in a small town on the prairies. Two people came. One thought I was Suzanne Vega and the other just felt sorry for me." ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2002 12:09:04 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Today's Library Links: July 5 the date & title of this article is amazing! in 68 singer-songwriters were making a comeback?! >>On July 5 the following items were published: 1968: "Singer-Songwriters Are Making a Comeback" - New York Times<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2002 22:42:39 EDT From: Bobsart48@aol.com Subject: Re: another honor I saw this article in the local paper, too. Would one of the JMDL Canadians kindly explain what this "member, officer, companion' of the Order of Canada is about? Bob S from America (as usual, ignorant of non-U.S. culture) ;-) > "The Associated Press > > OTTAWA (AP) - Singer-songwriters Joni Mitchell and Bruce Cockburn were > among > 99 appointees to the Order of Canada announced by Governor General Adrienne > > Clarkson. > > Mitchell, a Saskatchewan native who wrote and performed songs such as ``Big > > Yellow Taxi,'' ``The Circle Game'' and ``Both Sides Now,'' was made a > companion of the order, the highest designation." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2002 00:10:58 EDT From: RobSher50@aol.com Subject: Re: under [blank] NJC This thread has been extremely interesting for me. I am not a college graduate though I have some college under my belt. I am a hard worker and managed to climb to a management position with a company who looked at experience more than degrees. I walked away from that position over a year ago because of the intolerably hostile work environment created by the senior project manager whom I now find out was embezzling like crazy from the company. (Definitely explains the extreme paranoia) I can relate to extreme contradictions of upper management telling you to "think outside of the box, but only if it fits their expectations." Now that I am working a data entry job at less than half the salary of my former management position, (I live in an economically depressed area) and am planning to move very shortly to a larger metropolitan area with more job opportunities, I have been plagued by the fear that no one will want to hire me because, a) I'm over 40 and, b) I have no degree. All the ads I see online and in the paper require a degree. My daughter got a very nice entry level position with a computer science degree. She makes more money than I could ever dream of making on a 9 to 5 job. It adds to the illusion that a degree is the key to happiness. Now I need to rethink everything because from this thread, I can see that this is not always true.
