That's really some of the more light hearted actually amusing stuff. There is a whole host of other shit though that can be really scary and offensive, but just let it fly on by. The delete key can be a treasure here. The good part is there are so many treasures to be had. So many wonderful people, stories, music, get togethers, and so much more.

I know this is copywritten. I know it's not "mine" to distribute. I hope that quoting this sample invigorates some of the old folks among us to pick up this collection. The track Joni's commenting on is "Subtle Lament" from the album "1938-1939" by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra. Like a letter from home, it's best to read this aloud. Joni Mitchell said, >I love this arrangement- the way the colors change- but it's the sound of the band- the warmth of it- the heart- the humor- the spiritual synchonization- that makes this music so inimitable. This is less a band and more a being. They play togethe like one instrument- one soul. Listen to Duke as he comes tickling in - the notes wink at you- like the Harlem Globetrotters- delightful! - serious clowning.> All the best, Lama np: track 4: Miles Davis' take on "It Never Entered My Mind". Whoa, this is alternately beautiful and cool. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 20:30:44 -0800 (PST) From: Smurf Subject: Wally & yo -- njc For All Romantics: http://honolulu.craigslist.org/rnr/61221738.html For Golden Bags: http://singapore.craigslist.org/rnr/61222350.html For Randy & Remote: http://amsterdam.craigslist.org/rnr/61222761.html I had to force him: http://montreal.craigslist.org/rnr/61223156.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

(njc, 6969) Hi, all, Yeesh. You learn something new everyday. On the Discovery Channel, they've been showing "Pompeii: The last day", and I finally got around to watching it tonight. Did you know that, before the days of detergent, they used urine to get the grease out of clothes? The places were called "fulleries". Good news: Your clothes aren't greasy anymore; bad news: guess what they smell like? On the lighter side, in the "Lucy Ricardos Throughout History" Dept., what they made the fullery workers (why mince words -- they were slaves) do is stomp on the clothes, while hot steaming you-know-what was continually added; and yes, the first thing I thought of was Lucy in Italy... On the plus side, I guess the fullers never got athlete's foot. It was either this, or watch (shudder) "Joey". best to all, Walt ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:31:32 -0500 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Box set dweams, humo(u)r alert njc Riiiiight. Joni wouldn't dare do that. She's an established artist and has to be a bit cautious. A huge box set of rarities is ULTIMATE compilation, a bold move made by someone who doesn't have anything to prove, a visionary, a renaissance spirit with cajones. :) Besides, someone would have to fight with the label to get it released. Who's strong enough to bend a multinational corporation into doing something arty like an opulent, sumptuously illustrated box set? Naw, we are asking the impossible. Only a super-hero could pull it off; where are we gonna find someone like that? :) Gees, THAT was fun to write, Lama np: Ray Charles' take on "Lonely Avenue" RR, playing a head game, said, >We need to work in some reverse psychology. I will start: >>I sure hope Joni isn't going to be one of those artists that releases a big box set with lots of out-takes, alternative tracks, and live cuts! That would really suck!>> ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:31:32 -0500 From: "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Re: Joni's unpopularity NO MORE PIANO SONGS! THANK GOD WE'VE BEEN DELIVERED FROM THOSE! Helplessly hoping, Lama np: Dr. John's "Gumbo" at 1/4 volume after midnight on a "school night" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:55:56 EST From: BRYAN8847@aol.com Subject: Prairie Girl or whatever this must be what she was talking about when she mentioned 'next release' during the Honorary Doctorate Round Table Discussion. She was talking about re-mastering Paprika Plains for 'the next release' to retune the piano to fit the strings. And the title would fit the inclusion of Paprika Plains... and hmmm lemme guess Cherokee Louise Song for Sharon Urge For Going Amelia (again?) Harlem In Havana Interestingly, amazon.co.uk haven't listed it as import yet it's a Rhino release. I thought this one is being produced for the Canadian market ??? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 01:04:24 EST From: BRYAN8847@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni's Artist's Choice From: "willytheshake100" Subject: 'Joni Mitchell, music that matters to her' The artist's choice CD - 'Joni Mitchell, music that matters to her'. With a double gatefold and booklet insert, what a nice little package it is. Joni's intro to her choices reads: I am really digging Joni's artist's choice. I love the selections and the sequencing is perfect. Johnny B. Goode (and others) are hip-shakin' music, and anything that make my hips shake is OK with me.

I guess the Confederate flag is what it is and there is no defending it. I'm there....< that is what flags say to me... someone claiming some territory (physically or otherwise)... someone saying this is me & so what is not me must be you... (which to stay safe requires borderlines & flags representing each division)... I don't think people intend to hate...

I love Donovan... saffron is kind of orange (like cristo's gates) so not far colorwise from mellow yellow... Great Donavon songs- 'catch the wind', 'yellow is the color', 'gypsy boy', 'universal soldier' ... ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2005 #91 **************************** ------- 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?
