SJC JC and NJC Hi kids, On vacation in Florida, escaping the bitter Arctic-like Detroit weather, and reading the perfect vacation book: The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd. Other muses- 1. Current state of the list: I'm one of the oldies here, having met Les just as this list started. I met Wally as he was building the website and was asking for photos of Joni's early days in Detroit. Anyway, I miss out on most of the discussions here mainly because I can't keep up with all the mail. But I've seen this list change many times over the years and I'm sure things will get back on track again. I HATE political discussions, so that's another reason for the deletes. But mainly it's because I am just overwhelmed with mail. I think Les continues to do a fantastic job moderating the list. I always know he's there watching and guiding in his own quiet way. 2. Grammys- Sorry Vince, but I still don't get Eminem. Then again, I don't like Bruce Springsteen either. Call me crazy, but I always liked John Couger M. better. Enjoyed Norah but thought she got too many awards. Agree that John Mayer sounds a bit like Dave Matthews. But heck, he's adorable. WHAT was Aretha Franklin wearing? She looked like a walking wedding cake. 3. JM's Travelogue- Heard it once and was too depressed to listen to it further. Don't worry, I will. 4. Though some disagreed in posts a while back, I think JT's October Road is incredible and one of his finest of all times. I can't stop playing it though the title track is IMHO one of the weakest of the lot. Ok, back to lurking and sunning.

I've never listened to the Mingus album much, but I have to say this: Joni's best performances from both the "Shadows and Light" and "Refuge of the Roads" videos are Mingus songs! I never tire of watching "The Dry Cleaner" (from S&L) and "God Must Be a Boogie Man" (from Refuge). I have to rewind the video and play these songs over at least 4 times before I pack up and put away the tape. And I'm always so sad when it's over. :( Anybody else (who has seen the videos) feel the same?

And I had been looking for this review for some time - I see that it was posted less than a year ago. My recollection from long, long ago was that this review concluded with a one paragraph afterthought along the lines of "Jackson Browne opened for Ms Mitchell last night. True, he writes good songs - - but his presentation is extremely dull". Les - could you (or anyone else) confirm whether my recollection on this is correct ?

I think that Noarh Jones has a stunning voice. There is a > natural, unstrained quality that is rarely heard these days. > > The grammies do suck, but Norah Jones and Emimem don't. Your loss if > you dismiss them out of hand. > > Best, > > David I agree wholeheartedly with David about Norah Jones. She has a lovely, soulful voice and she sings with such honesty. I agree that, for the most part, the writing on her debut leaves something to be desired with the exception of two songs. Hank Williams' 'Cold, Cold Heart' which Norah almost makes the listener forget is a C&W song and the final cut, the lovely Hoagy Carmichael/Ned Washington standard, 'The Nearness of You'. There are one or two others that are slightly above the rest - 'Come Away With Me' (one of the songs that Norah herself wrote), and 'Turn Me On'. I don't think Norah is going to be known as a songwriter. She is making her name as a very fine, maybe great, singer. The first couple of times I listened to her cd, I also thought 'nice but kinda bland.' After repeated listenings, I have changed my mind. I think Norah just might have that rare talent that Billie Holiday had of being able to transform mediocre material into something special. Is it profound? No. Does it make you wanna rock out? No. Does it make you want to write your congressman or join a protest march? No. It does make you feel good. It does me anyway. It also taps into human feelings and experience, thanks to Norah's extraordinary ability to communicate in a straightforward and honest way with a natural sounding, beautiful voice. Norah seems to be very humble from what I have read about her and heard her say in interviews. She never wanted to started out at the top. She wants room to grow and somewhere to go. Let's hope she is allowed that. This is only her first album, for crying out loud! Cut her some slack! And does a truly fine singer have to write their own material to be worth listening to? Hmmm.....Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Tony Bennett, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan (for you, Stephen in Vancouver!)....need I say more? I've been trying to think of a Joni song that I would like to hear Nora sing. Maybe 'I Don't Know Where I Stand' or 'Marcie' - one of Joni's earlier, 'ingenue' songs. Or 'Woman of Heart and Mind' (listening to For the Roses today - what a brilliant album!) Btw, I don't think that just because 'Travelogue' is old material that there is nothing there worth discussing. If nothing else, the differences between the original versions and the Travelogue versions would make for some interesting discussions, imo.

Today I saw Wally K -- The Original Good Time That Was Had By All -- again in Boston. Anyway, while listening to "Hejira" on my Walkman (Note: When I first joined this list, I was a "Blue" guy -- must be a Smurf thang -- but now I am a hopelessly hooked "Hejira" head), I took a walk to a bus and a bus to a train and read The Boston Globe along the way. So what did I find in today's paper? A Joni reference! So, without further ado, here's the blurb from today's Globe TV section: "'I *highly* recommend that you sign up for an *extreme* weight-loss program *soon*.' That's the sound of the starmaking machinery on "American Idol," which takes on eight more semifinalists at 8 on Ch. 25." I got off the Green Line at Prudential and went to meet Wally where he was waiting for me on a bench in the Pru Center, outside Legal Seafood. Before I could show him the Globe's Joni mention, he said, "I can't believe you missed it. They were just playing "The Hissing of Summer Lawns!" (Insert "Twilight Zone" music with Martian tunings here.) Sometimes I really do love the way life does these things . . . Wasn't it Brenda who used to sign off her posts with "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous?" Well, He was a a real boogie man today! Later, we went to the new Virgin store and I found a CD by a group called Little Charlie and the Nightcats with a song called "Dog Eat Dog" on it. Could that be an undiscovered cover, Mr. Covers King? We also saw the Goldie Hawn CD with "Carey" on it, and Ethel Merman's newly re-released disco album. We did lots of other stuff, but that's all the Joni content for today! (I think that's sufficient.) Also, the people who have said they will be at Wally's brunch on Sunday, March 9th are Anne, Ashara, Barbara & Chuck, Jody & That Guy, Maggie, Wally, and me. Anyone else before I call for reservations? Newbies and lurkers, don't be shy! --Bob PS: Wally kept asking me where he could find a Jayo party . . . what the hell is that?

Joni, Shawn, James, Norah Like a broken clock which is correct two times a day, the Grammys occasionally get it right. When the soundtrack O Brother Where Art Thou? cleaned up in 2002, they got it right. When in 2001 Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now won for best traditional pop vocal album, they got it right. When in 1996 Joni Mitchell's Turbulent Indigo won for best pop album, they got it right. When Bonnie Raitt cleaned up that one year, partly for her then current work and partly for her rich history, they got it right. When almost every album the Pat Metheny Group puts out wins for best contemporary jazz album, they get it right. When Shawn Colvin won for best contemporary folk album in 1988, and then ten years later, for song of the year and record of the year for Sunny Came Home, they got it right. When, that same year, James Taylor's Hourglass won for best pop album, and Alison Krauss/Union Station won best bluegrass album, So Long, So Wrong, and then in 2002, again for best bluegrass album, New Favorite, they got it right. There are countless other examples, and, of course, countless examples of when they got it wrong. This year Norah Jones cleaned up, and in my view, they got it right. She has a beautiful, natural, graceful and genuinely soulful voice, thankfully devoid of the hyper-melismatic mannerisms so many others are afflicted with these days. She plays great piano ... her sly, elegant touch and hip self-accompaniment calls to mind Nat King Cole. She writes tuneful, smart songs, and chooses tuneful smart songs of others, including chestnuts from Hoagy Carmichael and Hank Williams. Her approach is subtle, intelligent, heartfelt, and eminently musical. She seems to be truly down to earth and has uncompromising artistic integrity. I think we will hear great things from her to come. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 00:45:56 EST From: MINGSDANCE@aol.com Subject: Re-Sweet Sucker Dance, comming to the list. In response to this song -I had an Old English Sheepdog named "Mings Magic Dance" taken from the song. How I came to this name was that in Dec. 1992 I found out that I had full blown Aids T-cell of 38, not good. The DR. told me that I needed to focus on a reason to be here, I had a female Old English named "Big Molly Ming" after "Molly Mc Gee" I decide to get a new puppy so I would have a reason to get out of bed. He was my new solo, It was my "Dance." Sadly Magic passed in April of 2002, I would have never thought that I would outlive him, but we move in measures... Molly passed late May, 5 weeks after Magic. My name being Mingus I always felt a special bond to Joni releasing "Mingus." I also came up with this E-mail address MINGSDANCE for the fact that this is my dance. At a time when I was really at a low point my best friend Jimmy Stewart, knowing how much I always had loved Joni, started copying the entire homepage for me and he would drop off a new tidbit every day, he even completed it with a fine white notebook to store my new treasures. After much labor of copying one day he appeared like an Angel with a computer from his office for me, we spent the day signing me up to the JMDL, putting all Joni things in "My favorite places," since I was computer challenged it would easy for me to access without him here. As they say the rest is history. I started writing Wally Breeze and before you know it I was photographing Joni's 55th birthday concert with Jimmy. Because of this list and the people I've met I'm still here! I still have a reason to be here on this planet and I thank all of you for that. By the way my favorite album/song "Hejira"...

Been reading your minds for the last 2 years and thought I'd contribute some JC. I was at a large park for a picnic when I ran into Joni herself!!! And alone!!!She looked great with S&L era permed hair, a healthy smile, and wasn't smoking. Being a big fan I said hello and she had a warm vibe to her. She seemed quite interested in conversation. Knowing this was a chance of a lifetime(and a shot in the dark)I let her know all the things we have in common, was witty and humerous, and made me out to be a good catch for her. She just kind of smiled and said nothing when I asked if she would like to see each other again. She had that look like it was out of the question!!That look that could mean she only dates musicians or other famous people, isnt looking, that I wasn't good looking enough, or she plain wasn't interested. Soon we went our seperate ways,cordially. Just like in Twilight Zone here's my plot twisting ending.....it was all a dream. But then you already could tell it was a dream cuz she was w/out a cigarette in hand!!! Any thoughts or analyses are welcome. Anybody else dream of Joni?

Welcome. It's funny you should mention a CD tree. The Joni Mitchell Internet community's archivist, Simon, sent me 3 CDs a few weeks ago. I've been meaning to see who is interested in them. Your post prompted me to action. The first CD is an archival transfer of the so-called "Joni and James" (Taylor) concert on the BBC. It's He puts this appearance as London, England, Paris Cinema, October 29th, 1970. As many on the list will tell you, it was a great show, with wonderful stories, humor, snappy repartee, and even a false start. It's 11 tracks from a top quality transcription LP (!), played through a Mark Levinson phono preamp, then digitized using an oversampling converter. In addition to the 11 tracks from the actual BBC transcription, Simon included 5 tracks from a soundcheck. The unreleased song Joni wrote called "Hunter" is among them. CD2 and CD3 are Joni's appearance on a music and interview radio show. The host, David Dye, at WXPN in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is completely familiar with Joni's material and actually asks literate and intelligent questions. Joni talks about everything from Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, "Ethiopia", Wayne Shorter, "Sex Kills", her favorite English teacher, and collaborating with David Crosby. The show was broadcast on September 5, 1994. I'll dub it for anyone who follows these 3 basic rules: * Agree not to ever profit in any way from spreading it around, * Send 3 blank CD-R discs, and * Include return postage. Anyone who wants it should write to me, offlist. Thanks for the bandwidth, Les. All the best, Lama Trader John said, >>>>>> While I have been able to locate some of Joni's earlier shows in my trading circles (and, then, sometimes with great difficulty), I have noted that many of the ones I have received have originated from tape sources that were obviously many generations removed from the originals. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 00:19:19 -0600 From: "Happy The Man" Subject: Norah & Austin City Limits (NJC) Iced over here in Austin. Tough to get out so forced to watch a little TV. My eyes are getting old so they can't handle a full day of reading. But if you are going to watch television then it would be good to watch something that interest you. PBS offered the Townes Van Zandt tribute which is cool cause I go every year to the one at the Cactus Cafe. It was great while Willie and Emmy Lou sang Pancho and Left they switch over to Townes. It went on through the whole concert. When you have Nanci Griffith, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett well you get the picture it was as usual a very enjoyable evening with Austin City Limits. Then on to Dave and he brings on Norah Jones. I have to admit I have had a tough time listening to her at first but over the last couple of months she grew on me and I actually enjoy her work. But the song she did on Letterman seemed new to me, was it? Healthy day today. A lot less analyzing and just some good loving post. I feel great vibes here today.

Liquordale revisted (NJC) Hello gang- Hope all is well in the community. I have just gotten back online after my trip to Fla. (and I am 400 emails behind on the list). It was a great journey. I went over to help my friend singer/songwriter, Zachary Richard (check out one of my top ten records of all times Cap Enrage' at zacharyrichard.com) with his gig at Fiesta Tropical, who was accompanied by on stage Freddy Coella (new guitarist in Dylan's band starting April 14), multi instrumentalist and producer, and Kenny Edwards (from Karla Bonoff's band and Brindle) who was so amazing and a wonderful person to hang with and talk about all facets of the biz and life. It was a great set and it was so warm and wonderful to be by the sea and hot weather. Pearl and Steve stepped up to the plate and responded to my plea for more company and they were so wonderful to (Come Pick Me Up....) and we went out to dinner the first night and then they came to the show and we went to their house (very close by where I was staying at the lovely Roof Top Hotel on the beach) that is SO beautiful that I found myself wandering around long after the tour was over just checking out stuff I missed. I think they should host a So. Fla. Fest there soon, but I digress. We had some nice cocktails and watched the grammys and cheered Norah and occasionally Bruuuuuce. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for a visit that I will never forget. I am sure their house is gonna be in House Beautiful or Arch. Digest someday. They took me to a great place called Giorgio's on Ocean Hwy. And had a stupendous meal (and we all know how jaded I am living in the heart of cuisine here in New Orleans). I am so sorry I am late posting but New Orleans is under siege at the moment with something called Gras (and it's not even Tuesday yet) and I am out of my mind busy. I will be at a hotel from tomorrow night thru Lundi Gras (Monday for those of you that are blonde or challanged in alternate language) then I come home and pack to go have another really mini JoniFest in Tahoe with Julius till the 9th of March. I will be taking my puter and try to check in but if I don't, Happy Carnival to all and hope to see and talk to you all soon. My very best to you all. Love Paz P.S.
