That an interesting observation, about BSN. Could be. As far as an album of "lover-related" songs goes, though, how about WTRF? One could opine that album is almost entirely about Larry. Of course Joni and Larry have remained friends, but I'm sure they didn't smoothly segue from marriage to best friendship. I'm thinking that, after 10 years of marriage to Larry, Joni would have more reason to come out with BSN than she had after a few years with Donald. Or maybe "Last Chance Lost" said it all.

Marcel is not necessarily whacko, but he was definitely abusive, at least to Debra. And it was absolutely out of line (to put it mildly).

My husband laughed when he saw the title. Thought you might find his writing and mix cd choices interesting. Patti in Dallas (I'm working on a song called "Stuck in a Red State Blues" Posted by Al Barger on November 07, 2004 10:50 PM (See all posts by Al Barger ) Icky Girl Music: Joni Mitchell's Birthday Mastermix Joni Mitchell was born 61 years ago today, on November 7, 1943 in Alberta, Canada. Much as any decent person might normally hate Canadians, what with their beady little eyes and their heads so full of lies, you've got to stop and give respect to this classic artist. She's usually described primarily as a songwriter, and certainly not without reason. She's had a unique melodic style, and a lot of jazz gained skill in harmonics that has coalesced into a hella catalogue of songs. However, the known recordings of almost all her songs (save a Nazareth cover of "This Flight Tonight") are her own. She's quite a unique vocal performer with a really good instrument. On top of which, whoever she's got producing from record to record, she's gotten a lot of really interesting arrangements that add a lot to the already excellent basic songs. Indeed, Led Zeppelin and Prince and Elvis Costello have all cited her as a model, particularly for creating orhcestral colors. Dig particularly, for examples, on "The Jungle Line" or "Carey." She's got a very painterly consciousness of her tone palette. Here's a little late arriving email quote from Sananda Matreiya aka Terence Trent D'Arby : Were Joni Mitchell born instead John Mitchell, shed easily and without typical chauvinist reluctance be ranked as one of the greatest artist of the second half of the century. Her genius is not only a novelists eye for vignettes and imagery but also in the complexity of her harmonic ear and brilliant melodies. More men owe a debt to her in my profession than have yet had the balls to own up to. For me she easily ranks with the big boys of my Valhalla, Wilson, Wonder, Dylan, Bacharach etc. If you haven't got any Joni Mitchell, then your priorities in life are just messed up. The Blue album comes top recommended, along with Court and Spark . I've never seen a Joni Mitchell compilation I was real satisified with, though. So, of course, I've made my own mix CD. It would be worth your time to hunt down mp3s P2P and whip up your own copy of: ICKY GIRL MUSIC - THE JONI MITCHELL MASTERMIX The Jungle Line Help Me Carey Big Yellow Taxi God Must Be a Boogie Man This Flight Tonight You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio Raised on Robbery Court and Spark Free Man in Paris In France They Kiss on Main Street My Old Man The Last Time I Saw Richard All I Want California River A Case of You People's Parties Blue Song to Aging Children Come Twisted Little Green Both Sides Now Posted by Al Barger on November 07, 2004 10:50 PM (See all posts by Al Barger ) Filed under: Music , Music: Adult Alternative , Music: Folk , Music: Jazz , Music: Pop , Music: Popular and Standards ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 01:42:34 -0500 From: FredNow@aol.com Subject: not my worm I'm dismayed to see all these emails sent by a worm seemingly on my behalf, but just to let everyone know that to the best of my knowledge, it's not my worm. First of all, I'm on a Mac, which is generally immune from these email worms. Also, I only use this email account in web mail form, not POP client, so none of my AOL resides on my hard drive. Perhaps the worm is coming from AOL (although I'd like to think they have some serious virus protection on their servers), or has attached to the server of this list (again, I would hope this list's server has protection). But most likely it's a worm residing on the hard drive of someone on this list, and it's harvested email addresses (mine, Wally's, etc.) from incoming email. - -Fred ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 08:10:16 +0100 From: "Wallykai" Subject: Re: Hi :)) [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of Joke.cpl] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 08:10:20 +0100 From: "FredNow" Subject: Re: Hi :)) [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of Price.cpl] ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2004 #455 ***************************** ------- 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?
