Hi Mags! Canada is near and dear to my heart too! And, I love having pipe dreams of running away to up there. I was born in Stephenville, Newfoundland so I have a Canadian birth certificate... smile... with a cool moose stamp on it. I think of it as my ticket to freedom if I ever need it... like if GW is elected again. Wink. My dad was in the US Air Force stationed in Newfoundland, so I didn't live in Newfoundland long, and when I was 10 years old, I got an official US citizenship. Eventually, the Air Force landed us in Arkansas. I've visited Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto in more recent years. My husband wants to see the Canadian Rocky Mountains one of these days. When I was a kid, we would go to Ontario almost every summer during our vacation to Michigan where my parents grew up. One major difference between Canada and Arkansas is if you order tea in Arkansas, you get it in a tall glass filled to the brim with ice... in Canada, it comes in a cup and is hot!

These concepts are revolutionizing genetics. In the article, there is a picture of mice that are identical, multiple twins, i.e., clones, so they would be thought of as having identical DNA, yet these mice have varied coat colors, brown to gold to mixtures. These variations among identical twins can't be explained by current genetic theory. Reminds me of how sexual orientation can vary between human identical twins and how this observation is sited as the most sound evidence that homosexuality is not genetic. The new findings in genetics that are talked about in the article in Scientific American shake that evidence. It's a really cool article if you like this kind of reading.

I like both of her solo albums "While You Weren't Looking" and "I'm Staying Out." The first one was a real revelation since Cary was sort of in the shadow of Ryan Adams when they were together in Whiskeytown. But she's an accomplished songwriter, and a pretty good fiddle player. Cary was studying to be a fiction writer with Lee Smith before getting into the music business--her lyrics are definitely far better than average, and her music is very interesting, too. I definitely recommend her work.

Emiliano my jmdl & acousticharmonies list mate had an idea for us all to come up with a Joni Compilation CD (it could be a 2 cd set as well) of material from the live shows, alternate recordings, demos, radio broadcasts, etc. Put them all together in a package with artwork and then share it as a weed amongst ourselves. It would be great for everyone to add their two cents on this and I am calling on my SouthCarolinaian Joni Bro to help out on this(seeing how our Joni Expert and cover king) and would love to hear from Simon, Jim, and Les as well as Joni experts everywhere. I would like to make these the best audio files possible so it is important to identify the source of the recordings to try to get the best possible one. I do not at this time plan to remaster the recordings, but will normalize them so that the volume is equal on the all the tracks that we decide. I will not put a time limit on it for now so that we can have time to discuss the suggestions and get alot of input from everyone. Please post your suggestions of any recordings of Joni that you like alot that are NOT available commercially. Please post as much info about the track as you have (dates venue etc.). Also please use Joni Compilation (in your subject line) for all suggestions so that we can track things. Thanks alot.

She is great player and singer. I have yet to buy any of her solo stuff and I know she has a new one out and it is on my list but that is so long... The Whiskeytown stuff is alt. Country and not to everyones taste but I like it alot. I am a big fan of Ryan Adams as well. I just played his one of 3 of his new albums out in the last month. He is quirky weird guy but really talented. I want to get the the other two but refer to my list. One of those was recorded here in New Orleans this year with my pal and UK native son Jon Cleary (check him out if you like the funk with New Orleans piano). My pal Trina Shoemaker recorded the Pneumonia album for Whiskeytown. Trina is an amazing engineer and won a grammy for her work with Sheryl Crow and has worked on a ton of stuff since the mid nineties when she worked at a friend of mines studio as well as a bunch of work at Daniel Lanois's place and Malcolm Burn as well.

Damn, Chris...I'd love to do this, but two things stop me. (1) My copies of DJRD and Hejira are on vinyl, not CD. (2) All my albums are in the custody of Number Two Son, far and away in Maine. Had to turn the albums over to my boy when I moved into the RV...there wasn't enough storage space to carry several hundred albums around (but there IS enough space for several hundred CDs, LOL)! I haven't listened to either album since '98 or '99. Now, that said... I won't dispute your contention. Hejira got a LOT of airplay from me over the years (I love it!), and I recognized Joni was changing artistic direction when that album was released. DJRD confirmed my suspicions, and, as I said in another post (or was it in a note to Lori? Memory ain't what it used to be...), I'm not as musically "developed" as a lot of folks, i.e., I don't appreciate jazz, for the most part. The simple explanation (for me) is: DJRD never really grabbed me. Perhaps it's time to revisit the album. On that same note, I'm planning on replacing some of my Joni albums with CDs since subbing to the JMDL...but only the "mission essential" Joni due to financial re/constraints. Your idea is interesting...I wish I had the wherewithal to accomplish it!

There IS a bootleg tape of Paul McCartney (playing drums) in an LA studio with Lennon and Stevie Wonder around this time. It is just a bunch of coked out crap, though. As for this one, I have my doubts. First of all, if the Beatles recorded at this studio and paid for the session, then they would still own the tape, wouldn't they? I've never heard of Davlen Studio, but Lennon always recorded in the biggest studios in town. Thirdly, the titles seem suspect, and fourthly, they say this tape has been bulk erased, so what are you getting for $75,000, a blank tape that supposedly contained a Beatles reunion? Also, if the Beatles, as claimed, were unhappy with the results of the sessions, and asked the studio to destroy the tape, why didn't they just take the tape and destroy it themselves? By 1976 they knew better than to leave stuff like that lying around. Certainly an intriguing idea, but I have my doubts.... They also claim to have for sale the Double Fantasy album Lennon signed for his assasin Chapman, hours before his murder, with Chapman's "forensically enhanced fingerprints" on it.

The computer was humming, the icons were hopping, As Papa did last-minute Internet shopping. The stockings were hung by the modem with care In hope that St. Nicholas would bring new software. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of computer games danced in their heads. Dark Forces for Billy, and Doom II for Dan, And Carmen Sandiego for Pamela Ann. The letters to Santa had been sent out by Mom, To santaclaus@toyshop.northpole.com - Which has now been re-routed to Washington State Because Santa's workshop has been bought by Bill Gates. All the elves and reindeer have had to skedaddle To flashy new quarters in suburban Seattle. After centuries of a life that was simple and spare, St. Nicholas is suddenly a new billionaire, With a shiny red Porsche in the place of his sleigh, And a house on Lake Washington that's just down the way From where Bill has his mansion. The old fellow preens In black Gucci boots and red Calvin Klein jeans. The elves have stock options and desks with a view, Where they write computer code for Johnny and Sue. No more dolls or toy soldiers or little toy drums (ahem - pardon me) No more dolls or tin soldiers or little toy drums Will be under the tree, only compact disk ROMS With the Microsoft label. So spin up your drive, From now on Christmas runs only on Windows 95. More rapid than eagles the competitors came, And Bill whistled, and shouted, and called them by name. "Now, ADOBE! now, CLARIS! now, INTUIT! too, Now, APPLE! and NETSCAPE! you are all of you through, It is Microsoft's SANTA that the kids can't resist, It's the ultimate software with a traditional twist - Recommended by no less than the jolly old elf, And on the package, a picture of Santa himself. Get 'em young, keep 'em long, is Microsoft's scheme, And a merger with Santa is a merketer's dream. To the top of the NASDAQ! to the top of the Dow! Now dash away! dash away! dash away - wow!" And Mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, The whirr and the hum of our satellite platter, As it turned toward that new Christmas star in the sky, The SANTALITE owned by the Microsoft guy. As I sprang from my bed and was turning around, My computer turned on with a Jingle-Bells sound. And there on the screen was a smiling Bill Gates Next to jolly old Santa, two arm-in-arm mates. And I heard them exclaim in voice so bright, Have a MICROSOFT CHRISTMAS, and TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 02:28:20 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: RE: Genetics, NJC i agree about sexual preference. now, as to sexual orientation, i'm not so sure. wally > -----Mensaje original----- > De: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]En nombre de gene > mock > Enviado el: Miircoles, 17 de Diciembre de 2003 11:34 p.m. > Para: LCStanley7@aol.com > CC: joni > Asunto: Re: Genetics, NJC > > > not all alcoholism is genetically caused, not all sexual preference is > genetically caused. it may be hard (no pun intended) to believe, but some > alcoholism and sexual preference is purely individual choice. > happy holidays gene > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > To: > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 5:50 PM > Subject: Re: Genetics, NJC > > > > Colin wrote: > > > > in the end, does it matter?

Joni watched from a small balcony at the back of theater where all the seating has been reserved for VIP guests. After the opening set by Sheryl Crow she worked her way through the crowd on the floor (no mean feat) and disappeared backstage, presumably to visit with Bob. Before Bob took the stage she reappeared and found her way back to the VIP area. I think she may have been accompanied by Kilauren but it was hard to see the balcony celebs very well from my spot in the crowd near the front." - ---- For a comprehensive reference to Joni's appearances, consult Joni Mitchell ~ A Chronology of Appearances: http://www.jonimitchell.com/appearances.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 02:23:47 -0500 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: December 18 On December 18 the following article was published: 2001: "Kate Comes to Dinner" - New York Newsday (News Item) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=709 ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2003 #628 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
