Probably just in the US. The cover photo http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000C7PSH.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg is a cropped version of a shot Larry took long ago. The *better*, (probably uncropped 35mm) version appears now in an ebay ad for the 3" promo CD for "My Secret Place" manufactured in Germany: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2558413250 The cropped, square version doesn't balance. The original rectangle gave some negative space to balance better. Stay tuned for more details as they develop. Lama ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 10:54:04 +0100 From: "Ross, Les" Subject: Administratium NJC Investigators at a major research institution have discovered the heaviest element known to science. This startling new discovery has been tentatively named Administratium (Ad). This new element has no protons or electrons, thus having an atomic number of zero. It does, however, have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice-neutrons and 111 assistant vice-neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years; it does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons, vice-neutrons and assistant vice-neutrons exchange places. In fact, Administratium sample's mass will actually increase over time, since with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably become neutrons, forming new isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as the 'Critical Morass.' ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 06:27:51 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Re: Songs to Aging Children Come In a message dated 9/22/03 2:19:55 AM, pdcmusic@freeuk.com writes: << > the poignant scene at the cemetary with Joni singing > "Songs To Aging Children Come."

Within this musical adventure you will hear all of Jaco's historical 'firsts' including his first experimental home recordings, his first studio session, his earliest bands, his very beginnings as a soloist, and most importantly his never-before-heard first original compositions. This revealing audio biography is told through the music, by Jaco's own spoken words, and with close friend's and fellow musician's first-hand recollections of events. Highlighting all of the significant developments and various influences along the way, this rare collection of materials is the complete story of Jaco's early formative years. You'll also hear Jaco's "Original Demos" recorded at Criteria recording studios in 1974, and classic recordings and exclusive interviews with Pat Metheny, Joni Mitchell, Joe Zawinul, and Herbie Hancock.' ===== Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We all live so close to that line, and so far from satisfaction ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 14:07:00 +0200 From: Emiliano Subject: Fw: darling feather in the breath of god? njc (for AOL members) - ----- Mensaje original ----- De: "Wally Kairuz" Para: "cul heath" ; Enviado: lunes, 22 de septiembre de 2003 2:21 Asunto: RE: darling feather in the breath of god? njc > oh it takes a little decadence and a little shrieking here and there, but i > think you can manage it too, culluv ;-) > wally > > > -----Mensaje original----- > > De: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]En nombre de cul > > heath > > Enviado el: Domingo, 21 de Septiembre de 2003 06:37 a.m. > > Para: wallykai@fibertel.com.ar; joni@smoe.org > > Asunto: darling feather in the breath of god? njc > > > > how do you do that? > > > > :) cul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 08:17:14 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: "Complete Geffen Recordings", Due Tuesday!

I had already seen the "main feature" but it was great to see it again, especially in digital picture and sound. Susan Lacy and all the others did such a good job with this film (glaring omissions notwithstanding), it seems like everytime I see it I pick up something new. And I enjoyed the bonus features as well...there's a nice photo collection that starts with Joni as a kid in that psuedo-Indian garb, a great pic that really captures her spirit I think, there's a couple three songs from PWWAM, my favorite bonus feature is what they call "Sound Bites" which are great interview pieces with Joni that didn't make the cut for the film but are fascinating. Some I'd heard variations of but some new info to me as well, mostly her discussion about her polio which I found very moving. There's a Discography that just shows all her album covers, that's no big whoop, and a T'log promo as well. All in all, this is really an excellent package. And once again, hearing those snippets of Joni w/Chuck and the early folk song makes me hungry for a REAL Joni boxset. My fear is that the Geffen box will fall flat (her least popular period revisited?) and she and/or her management will not want to move forward with a rarities/unreleased set. That would be tragic.

I don't recall if this has been posted before, but I recently read about a release of a "Summertime" album ("One Song Compilation"), by Roof Music (german label), including naturally our Joni's great version, among 17 versions of this "Porgy & Bess" song . The article I've read, in El Pai's, says: "and a recent rendition that joined in the studio Joni Mitchell with Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock [tears] and Wayne Shorter. Almost nothing."

'Idiot Wind' however, is much better on the bootleg cd's I think. 'Love & Theft' is actually my fave of his so far. I will get 'Desire' eventually. 'Isis' really stuck in my mind. The way he plays with words can be very humorous! Talking of albums that I thought I would love but don't... Laura Nyro - 'New York Tendaberry'. She really does scream on that one and it feels a bit samey. I know it has it's place and, I was in a mood where the 2nd half really moved me once.

Not exactly, Jimmy. And his birthday's not even until tomorrow, anyway. I never forget his birthday because he was born on the same day in 1957 as my little sister, who also sucked a lot of attention away from me. And she's much nicer than I am, too. What's more, my sweet niece is in the hospital in labor right now and I am praying that she has the baby before midnight so I don't end up with another September 23rd attention sucker to contend with. Okay . . . (deep breath) Happy birthday, Bob! I hope you have a wonderful day and find some obscure Joni cover by like Richard Nixon or Mother Teresa or something. Love you, mean it. --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 21:19:32 -0400 From: vince Subject: Re: Joni on NPR Yeah and Joni was on A&E last Friday? Saturday? They did a bio on Janis (there is only one Janis and she is from Port Arthur Texas) and a bio on Mama Cass and lots of face time from Crosby and Nash saying Mama Cass put CSN together and sings on the first album and how Cass' was the place to hang out and several pictures of Joni with Cass and C and N all partying, nice pics. One pic I think Joni had a dulcimer but could be wrong. But the Joni pictures were happy smiley partying Joni. Both bios were excellent. There was footage on both that I have never seen before and really intelligent insights for a change. If I arise from poverty, I shall buy those two cds from A&E.

This has been going on since before Jonifest and then, hearing Kay perform it so brilliantly, well . . . It has become one of my favorite songs, even though I always used to pick up the needle/fast-forward the tape/advance the CD to "Amelia." Here are my questions: In "Coyote" Joni sings about getting home with her reel-to-reel and that made me think about the fact that she once had a home recording studio, didn't she? And didn't she also have it removed? (Probably to make room for those damn paintings!) So my questions are, during what years did Joni have a home studio? Did she actually record any songs there that were eventually released? Or was the studio just for diddling around in, while she recorded her commercial stuff for release in professional recording studios? Did she ever give a reason why she got rid of the home studio? And also -- being the tireless creator that she is, does anyone have a guess as to whether she may have a truckload of unreleased stuff from her home studio days? --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 23:17:30 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: NJC September 23rd > My poor niece. They just sent her home from the hospital, just like when she had her first baby. She is to be readmitted at 6:30 in the morning, so it looks like a 9/23 baby for sure. But they're not naming the baby Bob or Roberta. Believe me, I tried! (I'll DIE if they name it MULLER!!!) And what's with this sending-women-in-labor-home business. Why, when I was a young lad women didn't get out of the hospital until there was a baby to slap! --Bob ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 22:37:07 -0500 From: "Steve Polifka" Subject: Re: september 22!!! njc ROTFLMAO!!

She looked especially good, she was wearing an orange kind of African looking outfit...she just has this incredible aura about her. Anyway, my friend Candace was ringing her up next to me so I waved at her and she smiled and said she'd listened to some of my cd and really liked it though she still wants to sit down and "really listen to it". I'm planning on going to see her on October 11th. She's performing at the Earthlink Live Venue in Atlanta. So there you have it. If India likes it then it must be alright!

I distictly remember that it was installed into the space that had been the green crushed-velvet themed bedroom (see the Architectural Digest spread). I think they called it "The Kiva," and I know Shawn's "Fat City" was recorded in there. I always thought it was funny that what many consider (not me) to be Shawn's best recording was made in the ruins of Joni Mitchell's Bel Air bedroom of the mid to later 70's - how many people can make that claim, ay? (sorry for the run on sentence - I think it works). I could have this all backwards, though, so if anyone has other ideas??? - -Chris NP: Steely Dan - "Gaslighting Abby" live 2000 PS.
