(sjc) For many years now I have been searching for both live audio and video of Bette Midler doing her bathouse routine from the early 70's. I struck gold with a full length video (Barry Manilow is SO pathetic looking in this...truly a roar), and a CD of mixed performances, both of which arrived in the mail today. Just before doing "Chapel of Love" on the CD, supposidly from 9/71, Bette says something about being joined by her friends Barry Manilow and Joni Mitchell (she didn't sound like she was kidding, and there was no chickle from the crowd...). The recording is NOT top notch, so I cannot make out JM's familiar warble, but at the end, Bette says "Joni Mitchell, everybody" and the applause go up. I know Bette often performed at both the Continental Baths and at the St. Marks Baths, both of which are in NYC (I believe; I KNOW St. Marks is). Does anybody have any ideas about this? I'm finding it hard to picture our Joan on stage there with Big Boobed Bette, Beastly Barry, and a host of hot gay boys in bad 70's haircuts and towels, but I suppose stranger things have happened. - -Chris NP: Bette "Shiver Me Timbers" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 22:35:54 EST From: Bobsart48@aol.com Subject: Re: California Lori wrote: > Darn it, Bob!

As I posted last month, I have been sending my daughter a JM "song of the day" for two months now. Mostly chronological, with some exceptions. We're up to Blue, now, and today's song was California. However, my e-mail to her went something like "a song that a young woman visiting Paris might relate to today just as strongly as in 1971, no ?" Not exactly dated, IMO (except for "Sunset Pig" - leave it to Joni to use and yet artfully defuse that politically charged term).

(sjc) This is an amazingly cool revelation to me, Chris. I would not be surprised at all that Joni stopped in to see Bette and Barry and sang along. I wonder if that is the "For Free" cover that (maybe Jerry Notaro?) sent along to SCBob for the Covers project.
