And congratulations on the completion of the Fest2000 project and kudos for a job well done! I know Mama Ruth is looking down on you from heaven and telling everyone "See that one? That's my boy!" Of course I'm in for Jack's CD as well, a great talent and I can't wait to hear him again at Full Moon. Well, at least if I can't be you for a day I get to hang out with you for a couple. That'll do.

We know how you have been lusting after that blue satin and taffeta cowboy shirt with white fringe and tight pants for your next extravaganza on ice. To be gall-less in the bladder department can be a good thing too, if you are too stoned to appreciate the lack thereof. We will all see you in your coordinated ensemble in nine days. Not all of us can be on the cutting edge Jimmy...or want to be. :) Your scars will barely show in comparison to your good humor. See you at the Fest.

I'm not 100% on this one, Ruth, but I believe that this is indeed the case. Is Joni's strategy to fulfill her contract and bow out (the working title for the project IS "Swan Song" after all)? Could be, she's been trying to quit since 1970. And if it is her final work, it would sure be a shame, with so many of her contemporaries (Dylan, Costello, Springsteen, Waits, & old beau JT) continuing to release outstanding work and proving that record industry be damned they can still be relevant.

Perhaps it's just Joni's final work under a contract. (As opposed to an independent release.) One may wish, yes?

(As > opposed to an independent release.) > > One may wish, yes? But of course!! I seriously think her best work is yet to come if she wants it to be. Joni's #1 skill imo has always been as a writer & composer, and those skills theoretically should get better with time through experience and the wisdom that continues to develop with age. Whether or not her vocal chops hold up in the longrun doesn't concern me a bit...most of my favorite singers are raspy as hell, but they have an emotion that is real. BUT they do require a good song to sing. I'd LOVE to see her hook up with a good independent label! So, here's hoping our WISH comes true! :~) Bob NP: JT, "Little More Time With You" 5/30/98 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 10:43:21 -0700 From: Steve Dulson Subject: Joni content at Edmonton Folk Fest Hello all! Just got back from Canada...Oh Canada! At 1:30 AM Monday I was still dancing to La Boutine Souriante at the festival hotel, and my shuttle left for the airport at 4:00 AM...so if coherence is lacking, please excuse! I had a wonderful weekend in Edmonton - Canadians are so darned nice, and the festival is SO well organized...and those prairie skies!! Of course, the backstage pass made things even better. :) Many great acts (including the recently-discussed-here Patti Griffin), but I'll stick to the Joni content. On Friday, the last act scheduled on the mainstage was Big Sandy, basically an Orange County bar band. Ho hum, I thought, no need to stick around, so I grabbed a shuttle back to the hotel. They were broadcasting the fest on the radio, and I hear...Warren Zevon (a last minute add-on) doing "Lawyers, Guns and Money". Darn, I thought, I should have stuck around. Then he does "Case of You" with DULCIMER back up. Argh! I later chatted with his "band" Matt Cartsonis from LA...he had figured out a version of Joni's dulcimer part - I told him I'd show him how she REALLY did it. Apparently several acts wanted to include Canadian content. Los Lobos (after finishing with the GD's "Bertha") encored with a kick-ass "Cinnamon Girl". Sunday afternoon Ireland's Sharon Shannon was playing, and brought out an Irish singer named Pauline (last name missed) to do "the only song I know about Canada" - "Case of You", of course, done very well. I know the performances were recorded - more work for Bob! Now I guess I'm supposed to be working... :( - -- ######################################################## Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA steve@psitech.com "The Tinker's Own" http://www.tinkersown.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" http://www.thelivingtradition.org/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 14:05:12 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: NJC Re: Joni content at Edmonton Folk Fest > Apparently several acts wanted to include Canadian content. > Los Lobos (after finishing with the GD's "Bertha") encored > with a kick-ass "Cinnamon Girl". Man, that would be great to hear! Los Lobos are also back with a vengeance on their new release "Good Morning Atzlan". What a year it's been for new tunes and strong comebacks! > I know the performances were recorded - more work for Bob! Keep your ears to the ground for me should these recordings emerge.

We started chatting about music, and Joni Mitchell came up (obviously). He mentioned that he'd seen her in concert at Wembley Arena. I immediately assumed that this must have been in 1982, her last tour here, as he doesn't look old enough to have seen her earlier. But no, he said it was the late 70s. Short pause, before he delivered himself of the following bombshell: "My friend and me were on our way up there on the tube [Underground], and there was this woman sitting opposite who looked just like Joni. We were nudging each other and saying 'maybe it's her', 'nah, couldn't be', etc etc. Then at Wembley station she got up to get off too, smiled at us and said 'maybe I AM her!' " I can't repeat my reply to Andrew, as it's rude. Can you believe that Joni was travelling on public transport, to her own gig, in a particularly insalubrious part of London, on her own?? That's it, really. Azeem in London NP: Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 23:50:27 +0100 From: "William" Subject: ... got till it's gone, amen. Joni mention on The Vicar of Dibley. The episode in which Leticia dies. After the funeral; Hugo says - 'Very moving. I particularly liked the quote from Johnny Morris.' The Vicar - 'I think you'll find that was Joni Mitchell.' Hugo - 'Right. Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.' Seems French as well as Saunders may well be a big Joni fan.

Paul's a a-hole IMO I didn't quite catch it, but I think Paul may have said something like "8 million, as many people as in Joni Mitchell's band," referring to when Joni and the BSN orchestra played on the Letterman show, no doubt pushing Paul and band right off the stage.

Here are some of the post-op things Ed had to say: "just getting home from the hospital. jimmy made it through fine, although he is in a great deal of pain. they were able to remove the gall bladder without cutting him, but had to make a small incision to remove his appendix. "the surgeon was amazed that jimmy has not been hurting for the last few weeks. "he will probably be in there for a couple of days, as the doctor wants to keep him on an antibiotic drip. let's all hope he mends enough to travel." Back to me again . . . I am sure our prayers, etc. have helped thus far. (I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been in my circa-1969 Dionne Warwick drag since this afternoon singing "I Say a Little Prayer for You." Hey, whatever works . . .) Now we need to do whatever we can to get Jimmy back on his skates and off to Jonifest so we can all give him the hugs he needs for a full recovery. We love you, pal. Forever and ever you'll stay in our hearts. Now . . . HEAL!!!
