Rosanne Cash said that her doctor heard in a seminar that vocal polyps are more common among pregnant women. Does anyone remember if Joni's bout coincided in her case? Ms. Cash said that she ALSO waited them out (2 years!) in the current issue of Stereophile. She says that her husband (John Leventhal a player/producer) plays guitar in his sleep. She sees him playing air guitar in "The Dead Of The Night". (obligatory reference to Shawn Colvin's song which Leventhal produced. As a "desert island disc", it has a permanent place of honor next to the turntable.)

And her 1979 concert at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, Shadows and Light, shows why. Originally released in 1980 on vinyl and as a video in the late '80s, "Shadows and Light" spotlights an artist who is in total control of the live setting. Mitchell and her musical mates- late bassist Jaco Pastorius, drummer Don Alias, keyboardist Lyle Mays, saxophonist Michael Brecker, guitarist Pat Metheny and a cappella group the Persuasions-treated enthusiasts to such classic material as "Free Man in Paris" and "Raised on Robbery," as well as a stunning take on the top 10 doo-wop hit "Why Do Fools Fall in Love." Unlike the video, the bursting-with-color DVD is in PCM Stereo with a 5.1 Dolby Digital surround option. Fans will devour the special feature, Tour Photo Diary, which showcases 48 images hand-picked by the artist herself. "Shadows and Light" is essential viewing for fans and for those in need of a refresher course on what it means to be an artist. - -Michael Paoletta ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2003 13:13:14 -0700 From: Phyliss Ward Subject: Re: Is Joni a snob?

It is along story, but my duck won 1st prize in the 4H best old hen duck category - I'm not happy she is now classified as an old hen - she has previously won as a female duck - I raise a good duck - Babe the duck wins again - of all the things you think you all know about me, bet you didn't suspect I am an accomplished duck raiser - she no longer lives with me as I live in an a apartment but we did have a nice visit yesterday Gage and I went to ride the rides at the county fair - we had a wrist band for all the rides one could ride from 6-10 - you'd be amazed how many one can do - he ran into a friend and asked me if I minded if he went on the rides with his friend and not me for a while - that time was coming, he's 8 and growing up - I let them go of course and did not cry in his presence - - I ended up stuck with all the old people whose kids were on the rides tomorrow we leave for Detroit to see Eminem and then straight to Chicago for the all star game - tonight saw the Pirates in Caribbean movie with Johnnie Depp - the first gay action hero - never saw such a macho queen in my life - having seen him to the Actor's Studio on Bravo I saw where his role models were coming from for this performance, he was great - what a fucking entertaining movie - very well done and as much fun as I have had at a movie in a long time - was checking the cast of Pirates on the web afterwards and came upon this: GEOFFREY RUSH's (Barbossa) career has spanned over 70 theatrical productions and some 20 feature films. After taking a degree in English at the University of Queensland, Geoffrey traveled to Paris in 1975 to study at the Jaques Lecoq School of Mime, Movement and Theatre. On his return to Australia he played the Fool opposite Warren Mitchell in "King Lear" and costarred with roommate Mel Gibson in "Waiting for Godot." Mel Gibson inWaiting for Godot? My mind is blown.
