I'm down here in New Orleans for the annual Jazz and Heritage Festival. Those guy, along with actress Annette O'toole played and sang at a concert Michael Paz put on at Tipitinas. I got the chance to talk to them about the movie for awhile. I asked Harry if there was any spoof lampooning Joni in the movie, but he said they let her slide. You might recall that Michael O used to play the Lenny character on the old "Laverne and Shirley" show. He looks the same. He's dating this beautiful redheaded actress, Annette, who I remember, um, admiring, in many movies, but I haven't been able to pinpoint one yet. Our own Christina Friis-Nielsen performed with Paz a bassist named Sam price and were on the same bill as "Paprika Plains." There were half a dozen other wonderful performers as well. "Sex Kills" was performed twice tonight, as Leslie Smith a stunning pianist had it on her setlist, too. Ha! I never thought I'd see that. Our own Jack Nielson was MC and delivered a artistic and soulful set. I've been listening to his CD in the car driving around New Orleans, which is a special treat for me. Context, you know. Wish you all could be here. It's like a jonifest within a fest, and it's great to see Paz, Jack and Christina again. More on all that later.

I got my 'pal' version of the American Masters prog about Joni. Very interesting contributions and well made documentary I thought. As always we are left with more questions than answers and now I want the 'next level' programme on what she thinks about lots of other stuff. I'd heard the raceless and genderless music comment b4 but not sure I ever agreed. She is a white North American woman of the 1940's. Artists dont live in a vacuum and express ideas shaped by the space and time they inhabit....that aside I learned things so that is a real bonus.

Thanks a bunch, Wally...and happy to say (or sad to say depending on which side of the fence you're on) that 2003 is turning into a banner year for Joni covers! Perhaps spurred on by the success of Counting Crows BYT & Diana Krall, every day seems to bring new releases of Joni covers. A tribute to Memphis CD features a cover of "Furry"...the soundtrack to "City of Ghosts" hit the streets this week with the Cambodian version of BSN...and lots more, take my word for it. We Mullers are obsessive & tenacious collectors...starting with my great-grandfather Emilio Muller Perez who had the world's largest collection of Mexican moths & butterflies. I kid you not. And he didn't have access to ebay! His collection is now part of a research lab & museum in Chapultapec park in Mexico City.

Please also post the name, e-mail, and state/country of the burnerless recipient to JMDL. This requirement helps to ensure that the original Perma-Vine discs do not disappear over time. Please forward these revised rules to those you have already chosen as the next Perma-Vine recipient, and ask them to forward it to their recipients as well. The revised Perma-Vine rules are pasted below. These changes appear in sections 2 + 3. Thanks and enjoy, John Epstein CDTraderJohn@aol.com PERMA-VINE RULES: 1) When you receive your Perma-Vine disc you must MAKE COPIES FOR YOURSELF and re-post an offer on JMDL. You will forward the ORIGINAL DISC onto the next recipient (you may NOT keep the original Perma-Vine disc).

Once you have selected the next recipient, you must post their name, e-mail and state/country to the JMDL list.

You agree to post an offer(s) on JMDL for at least one burnerless individual as soon as you have forwarded the original Perma-Vine disc onto the next recipient. You must post the name, e-mail and state/country of the burnerless recipient to the JMDL list. Additionally, you may B+P or trade this to as many as you like AFTER you have forwarded the Perma-Vine discs onto the next recipient. You are not required to post subsequent trades or B+P's to the list 4) You further agree to keep the Perma-Vine disc in your possession no longer than 72 hours before re-offering. 5) Lastly, you agree to ENJOY this music immensely!

Huge admirer of Ms. Mitchell that I am, and knowing how she regards that label when applied to her own music, I wanted to let you know that of her 20 or so albums, only the first four were classified as folk music and it is a common misperception that she is a folksinger. She went on to write and record pop, rock and jazz albums and although she achieved her initial fame and fortune through the folk genre, she hasn't been a folksinger for at least two or three decades. It would be pretty tough to stick one label on her, mind you, but if you could, 'folksinger' wouldn't be it. Don't know if this will matter for TCE purposes, for it's a common assumption made when describing Mitchell she did start out as a folksinger, so people unfamiliar with her later music or career might not notice. But it is an error, nonetheless." ... and so on and so forth ... You can read the article by putting Joni's name in the search engine box at the site. I figure the Canadian Encyclopedia should at least have it right, don't you? It remains to be seen whether the editor will think so. On another note ... Joni, turn up at Jonifest? I can't see it. She appreciates her fans and has no trouble monopolizing a conversation with apt listeners, but I think the level of adoration from this group might be a bit distasteful to her ... she has stated (and I paraphrase) that she finds the personal adoration somehow deluded ... now how can I say this without hurting anybody's feelings ... what I mean is, she could be afraid of being mobbed, her clothes torn from her body as souvenir, her hair ripped from her head as a holy relic ... LOL ... I'm sorry, but there is a touch of that kind of fanaticism among this group who loves her so, although I'm sure it would be gentle ... and it could be a bit intense for anyone, especially the object of our affection! Joni is never going to be Michael Jackson, who thrives on the adoration of fainting fans. Joni is glad her genius is appreciated, but doesn't think being on a pedestal is a very desirable place to be ... think about it, would YOU want to be amidst a group of people ga-ga at your presence? She's pretty goodnatured and gracious, but ... drop herself in it? I just can't see it. This is one of those rare cases when I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

More french. Ah caramba pero ninguna sorpresa! They're frenching it up on the Richard Thompson list also, as in "Merci pour le territoire de la Louisiane" since it's the 200th anniversary of the French (who somehow "owned" a lot of land here) selling "their" Louisiana Territory to the US government, thereby giving east coast people in this country lots of room to move into, whether the people already there wanted them or not. NOT would be my guess. (And that's all I have to say about politics today.) It's strange the way almost always whatever happens on this list is happening on the other also, in some form. Sometimes it's because of the war or a famous person's death, and everyone talks about those public happenings, but many times it's little things, even though there's not one person posting about both things on both lists. Very interesting... I feel a mysterious and gentle (merci ` Dieu!) force at work...

Though I do think that she would love a rapt audience for her songs and stories, and would also enjoy hearing her songs performed by her fans! But how interesting would it be for her to have people clamoring at her with questions and praise? I imagine it would be pretty dull for her. But who knows? The fest is going to be in Olivera, New York at the Full Moon Resort.

Today, my ecg reading showed I was dead. I argued with the dr and told him i felt fine, apart from the pain....... He hit the machine and it said I was alive. 'told you so', I said. I am having yet another ecg on wednesday, this time whilst excercising. This will be my 8th ecg. Maybe they are hoping it really will say 'dead' and they can forget about trying to figure this out. I am also beeing sent to see a rhuematologist and a neurologist. He really cheered me up by telling me I could have more than one thing wrong with me.....i.e the neck thing and a heart thing. apart from the pain, the worst thing is not being able to do the things love to do-my designing, knitting, sewing, and much typing. It is sooo hard reading and not responding but it hurts. Any serious illnesses i am asked. nope. oh how far back? all the way. okay, well i had typhoid and hepatitis. anything else? well,does being Bi Polar count? It seems to be a magic word. They don't leave you alone. they are very nice and soothing whilst checkning to see if security is close by.......especially after I answer their question 'what meds' with ' none'. any serious family illnesses? apart from psychosis? yes. no-bastards all lived to ripe old age and drank and smoked too. do you work? no my drooling and twitching puts people off.... well it could be your heart. we'll leave you waiting a while longer for more tests before we can tell you.........if you die in the meantime, please inform the clinic secretary....... If I can afford an air ambulance, a nurse and a general anaesthetic,I'll see you all at the Fest...... xoxoxoxo ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 May 2003 15:47:04 -0700 From: "Lori Fye" Subject: Re: Joni at Joni-fest Ken wrote: > The fest is going to be in Oliverea, New York at the Full Moon Resort. ... which is where Ashara has planned for it to be since its absolute success there last year.

Did I forget to mention that this CD is far f***in' OUT! as they used to say in 1970.

Please specify. There is only one "Janis"-Joplin of course. All others must use their last name. I did not know Roger Miller did Bobbie McGee. I do remember seeing a photo of Kris Kristofferson on stage way back when with his Martin acoustic, covered in autographs, the largest signature was Roger Miller's. > > I receive the only-Joni digest.
