It just doesn't work. Songwriters are essentially born. I think there's a combination of knowledge and ignorance that no human planning could devise. On the other hand, I could be wrong. The long winters help. You have time to kill because it's so dark and dreary. Also, there's something about the snow. When everything's white it reminds you of the page - you feel as though you have to put something on it. The best advice I got from my dad was: 'Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture' - that's an old James Cagney quote. I made my first album in this big studio in LA right next to where the Rolling Stones were recording. When I called my mom and told her, the first thing she said was: 'You're way better than they are.' I can't live without Judy Garland Live at Carnegie Hall - I'm very old school. My singing personality is not myself. I do feel I have a very dual existence. Rufus the singer is always asking what's for dessert and tends to listen to his own records a lot, and likes to walk by Cartier often. Rufus the person is kind of a more bashful, innocent type who is basically being prodded and strapped by Miss Rufus the voice. When I've written a good song I do feel a lot better. I feel a lot more powerful and relieved. Unfortunately, I'm not really dealing with the matter at hand by writing a song about it. In terms of facing your demons, it's a bit like putting a Band-Aid on a machine-gun wound. One of the most important lessons I've learnt in the past few years is that no amount of songwriting will rectify your own personal issues. That requires a whole other set of rules which have nothing to do with art. You can only properly get your revenge on people when they're over 40. You've got to hit 'em where it hurts. A lot of people say that art is therapy. I think it's the opposite. I think it's more prone to drive you mad than to bring sanity. Music is an element that lives by its own rules. When people say, oh, Wagner, I hate his music because he was such an awful person, that always seems ridiculous to me because there's no way of reconciling those two things. Bach, I mean he's sort of like, he's the ... I don't know, there's only one Bach ... even talking about him I start to blush. Without a doubt the most successful, fruitful, loving relationship I've ever had is with a piano. I mean by far. Pianos are like a crib or a bar-room dartboard. I can either use 'em or abuse 'em. I'm really amazed by intelligent, right-wing people who think in some Machiavellian way that Bush is good for the world. As a teenager, there was really no sense of rebellion because a lot of the time you'd be rebelling and Mom would be right there next to you, rebelling along with you. For me, the exotic kids were the ones from the suburbs whose parents were so strait-laced. They always seemed to have the craziest existences. The older I get, the more I relate to von Aschenbach in Death in Venice - someone who's very hard-working and even-handed and moralistic, but when he's struck by beauty and by the power of sexuality and youth all his cards tumble. I think faith is really important as you get older. Being a songwriter you operate so much in that realm, trying to get inspiration from mystical sources, and it's easier when you're younger to just dally in it and then fop off to the riverside. But as you get older you need that kind of spiritual nourishment. Basically there is nothing more beautiful than the smell of a 19-year-old. 7 Rufus Wainwright tours the UK from 25 October http://www.rufuswainwright.com/tour.asp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 08:19:54 -0500 From: "Cynthia Vickery" Subject: Re: Jonifest Set Lists (NJC) <> it didn't fester, per se.... just bubbled up a little. but i'm suing you anyhow, dammit. <> whooooops! that was my job. i have a list that (i think!) is complete, but i keep leaving it at the house instead of bringing to to work to send to you guys for confirmation. pinky promise - i'll bring it tomorrow and get it out to everyone. sowwy! love - cindy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 06:55:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Em Subject: Re: Steely Dan, njc - --- "Lama (Jim L'Hommedieu)" wrote: > It's been a while since we had for an extended thread on Steely Dan. > Last > night I found that "Babylon Sisters" and "THOSL" (the song) > complement each > other. Hi Lama, I am a huge "fan of the Dan". Never can get the vinyl or CD's to sound right tho. Which is vexing - -since they quite obviously took their recording and mixing (and arrangeing!) seriously. I wondered the other day after reading one of the Joni articles, about Steely Dan and their sessions guys. The Joni article (or maybe it was a lister) said something to the effect that Joni sorta *had* to gravitate towards jazz musicians, because her rythyms were so idiosynchratic that only jazz guys could *follow*, or play with. But I have wondered what if she could have hooked up with the kinds of players and the kind of energy of some of the Steely Dan bands. Might have made for some amazing stuff. And, I do realize, too, that there probably is some intersection of personnel, or players, Joni might have had in common with Steely Dan. Or maybe not... But I guess she wanted "jazz". "craved that thing like crazy" Also, nice to hear you referring to "Babylon Sisters". I find people tend to ignore "Gaucho" and I love LOVE LURVVVVVVVVVVVVV it! Its a very "Florida" feeling album and it prepared me well for the 80's! and all its silky cigarette-boated, white powdered excesses. I've owned several copies of "Gaucho" over the years...wondering now if they have "remixed" versions of SD's material. All the CD's I have are first-round ones from the 80's, and don't sound that great. BTW, one of my fave Steely Dan things i own is an album (CD actually) called (misnamed?) "Berrytown" and has what appear to be demo tracks on it. I love them! what great songwriters! anyway, thanks for giving me the opportunity to go on and on about Steely Dan this a.m. :) Em ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 07:45:58 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Robin Williams for President, njc > If you agree with the above forward it to friends. the Language we > speak is ENGLISH.....learn it...or LEAVE Yuck to whoever wrote that... or supports it...

I definitely agree with Kate on this one - I didn't like this at all, for a couple of other reasons as well as the one above. I hope the US never has a national catastrophe and requires help from other nations, because under these rules, they couldn't ask for it.

While the "1000 dead soldiers" is a tragic & unnecessary milestone, I was glad to see the headline about it alongside the "Record Deficit" headline on today's front page - in Greenville, SC! Bush & his band of thugs have tried to avoid any mention of the needless deaths, and lowered the numbers whenever they could in conversation (once again counting of the ignorance of the American people). This raises the profile of this issue and hopefully will turn some voters' heads. Of course, never mind that this total only includes the bodies who died on the battlefield, those who died in transit aren't in this total, nor are the thousands more who are wounded, crippled, paraplegic, etc, nor does it include the tens of thousands of other nationalities who have died in this debacle.

Myers fizzled and I couldn't do a JMDL debut listening party there, I suppose I need to go ahead and announce it here, before October 1 rolls around which will be in no time I'm sure. Like the subject line says, 56 is a nifty mix indeed, 20 tasty audio Joni-related treats to last the whole month long. And as usual, I could not have put this bad boy on the street without the help of a couple of my favorite JMDL pals: Paul Maggio & Raffaele Malanga - take a bow, fellers, BIG thanks! And now, let's plow ahead, put the cyber-phones on and see what awaits, shall we? 1. The Red Bloods - Chelsea Morning: Wow, this one really gives me a big big grin. It's a cover of the latin-flavored Sergio Mendes cover as interpreted by a pair of Japanese ladies, so besides the obvious "lainbow luns away", you get a couple of lines that are just plain unintelligible, like: "Wrapping up my tice & rums" and some others. Love it. 2. Kevin Roth - How Do You Stop: A nice funky lounge version. I'm sure Ashara won't rave about this one as much as she did the last, but a very pleasant recording nonetheless. 3. Mike Strickland - Both Sides Now: A recent & very pretty piano instrumental. 4. The Homemade Orchestra with Jenni Roditi - All I Want: Hmmm, really has to be heard to be believed! It starts out great with some VERY pretty strings and woodwinds, and even the beginning of the vocal is fine, but then, for whatever reason, about a minute into the track, this Jenni person taked the vocal into a warbly screechy indescribably direction that will leave you aghast. Very hard to describe exactly what she does, I can't wait to hear what Jimmy has to say. Plus she changes some of the lyrics for no good reason... One of the most bizarre Joni covers out there, imo. 5. Rebecca Luker - River 6. Rebecca Luker - Chelsea Morning: Now we're talking! These are both 2004 recordings and are just lovely. 7. Union Concert Orchestra - Both Sides Now: Another instrumental, but this one is from the late 60's/early 70's and sounds like it. 8. Darol Anger & The American Fiddle Ensemble - Help Me: A superb acoustic version, with a solid vocalist and lots of good fiddlin' which you would expect after all. (Great Joni covers trivia - Darol has played with Barbara Higbie in the Windham Hill New Age band Montreaux, and both have recorded Joni covers - awesome!) 9. Simon Green - Yvette In English: Once again, the Europeans realize that Joni recorded some records AFTER C&S, this is a great English cabaret version from a live recording. And it's nice to hear Yvette in English with an English accent. 10. Laurent Cugny Lumiere - Man From Mars: From France (see note above) comes this beautiful lite jazz w/vocal recording, a real keeper! 11. The Canada Pops Orchestra - Both Sides Now: Another instrumental from the 70's, if there ever is a Joni covers movie, this is what will play during the opening (or closing) credits - it has that kind of sound, a nice orchestral buildup sorta sound. 12. The Quality Kids - Big Yellow Taxi: Yet another of the "Kids" versions of the Counting Crows - Vanessa Carlton BYT cover. Grrrrrrr. 13. Karen Mal & Laurie McClain - A Case Of You: This very pretty acoustic duet starts out with one of the singers saying "this is for Susan", and the Susan in question is no other than our own Susan Moss who sponsors concerts all over the Southeast, dropping Joni references along the way, so it's only natural that her contacts play one of Joni's loverliest songs in Susan's honor - way cool. 14. Gail Martin - I Had A King: Gail was Dean's daughter, but other than that I don't know much about her. This was from a 45, so I guess it was supposed to be a hit. It's got a big horn section and lots of other colors, and curiously enough, Gail ends the song with the line "carried me off to his country too soon" line as opposed to singing the entire song. 15. Robert Wood Singers - Both Sides Now: This Canadian chorale group is still singing and touring Canada, this was from a late 60's record. 16. Kindred Spirit - Big Yellow Taxi: From their live release, this one is a bit ragged but is very spirited and has some nice fiddle too! 17. Jacqui Dankworth - Man From Mars: Are you kidding me? TWO 'MfM's on one volume? Call Tom Ridge, we're being invaded! Hopefully most of you have heard this terrific recording by now as I included it on my "Sweet 16 V3" project. It's gorgeous - MfM is surely the breakout hit from TTT. And of course, it comes from Europe. 18. Naked Songs - Chinese Cafe: And another one, an acapella recording from Britain that's very cool - from their live release. They tell me that they intend to do this one in the studio as well - til they do, this will do! 19. Charles Curtis Trio - Both Sides Now: More Euro-cover, from Germany. And very unique, a real loose Lou Reed rambly electric guitar with drums & bass version with a female backup vocalist. I would say that this is how The Reivers would do BSN, but since I'm probably the only Reivers fan here, there's no point in mentioning it. 20. Gail Davies - You Turn Me On (I'm A Radio): The classic Gail Davies studio version showed up about 50 volumes ago, this is a live version recorded at Gilley's in Texas. 21. (bonus track) The Beatles - You're So Square, Baby I Don't Care: The fab four never officially released this Lieber-Stoller ditty but they did a spontaneous take of it during the Let It Be sessions, and because they are after all THE FRICKIN BEATLES I thought it worthy of inclusion...bonus tracks rock! So there you go, a nifty, thrifty mix on Volume 56! Thanks for reading all the way to here.

Some interesting stuff on that website (she is stunning, and there's definitely a resemblance to her mother). One thing stuck out: "In early 1998 Jacqui was invited to be the guest vocalist on a major world tour with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra." No one told me! I see she's also been a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (obviously multi-talented!), and has toured with her brother Alex - also a jazz musician. And after a little web-searching I discovered he plays bass on the album containing the MFM track (obviously including that one)! I think the whole album would be well worth getting, as she does covers from not only Joni, but also James Taylor and Stevie Wonder, and if they're anything like MFM, I want to hear them!

(sigh) Thanks for the support, Catherine, but I don't think this McG thing is gonna make me rich. And one "quote" for every day of the year? You think I can come up with 350 more McG "quotes"?
