<OK Bob, where and when did this magic moment occur? I9m sure your meeting
Joni must have been discussed before, but please humour a lurker...>

 

You betcha, Melissa - it happened in Atlanta after her concert there in 1998.

The whole very long (you've been warned) story is at:

http://www.jmdl.com/bitb/docs/981107.cfm (scroll about halfway down)

<PS - I see you listen to Crowded House. There is a new tribute album to
Neil and Tim Finn being released in a week or so here.>

 

I don't think I've ever heard anything by the brothers Finn that I didn't like, including Split Enz stuff, Crowded House stuff, solo stuff. They have a wonderful pop songwriting sense. As a covers junkie I love tribs, and I'm sure that one will be a winner.

Subject: Joni's duality

Jeff, this is skillfully expressed.  I enjoyed reading it.  "an accomplished 
sense of rightness" is a terrific phrase that will stick with me.  I'll be "humming it in the lobby" as they say.  And yes,
she has a special gift for expressing duality.
All the best,
Jim L'Hommedieu

Jeff Hankins said
>And hearing it again I'm remembering why (and - glory - feeling 
something of that delight again). Why is it so remarkable?  Who else was 
writing songs about the restlessness of the search vs. the savouring of the 
moment? The swoop of the melodic line - high to low - in the first words, 
coupled with such an arrestingly precise little vignette - '3 waitresses all 
wearing black-diamond earrings'. Everything about it has an accomplished 
sense of rightness - the balance of guitar and voice.>

Hi Catherine!

From what I see when I watch it, it seems to get pretty intense with trying 
to get the (thing) placed in just the right position...kinda like pool with 
bigger sticks! Is your brother on a team?

*---- Getting ready for first concert. .....
Hello Sherelle,
I'm sorry I won't be there to be your "producer", but I'm sure you will do quite well.  It will be like an athletic event in preparation.  It is normal to have butterflies as you build up to the event.  That's you body preparing itself.  I would be nervous if I were not nervous.  You would not be in that position if you were not ready.  You deserve this chance of a lifetime, that many would die for.  Go get it.  Keep us posted.  We "producers" want to know when we are needed.

Mike

<<, I have been blessed to finally been able to hear  many of  the
"Forgotten " Joni songs from the Early Days. >>



Oh wow: these are SOME revelations! And Bob, you've hit the nail on the head
here:



<<Boy, this is some cool information and really has me drooling.>>



And you've actually HEARD these songs?! I feel like someone just casually
said 'Well I was enjoying a sip of claret out of the Holy Grail the other
night. nice cup. maybe we'll all get to see it one day..'!!



Understandably - who could blame you?! - you're being a little coy about the
where, when and how  of these recordings ! But it would be ungracious of me
not to say thanks - for the further whetting of the appetite!



Can I just clarify: you're talking about two sets of recordings, right?: the
Corky Siegel-recorded  set of 7 songs (6 Jonis and a cover); and secondly,
the Demo tape of 14 songs? Or are there more recordings you've had blessed
access to?



You say:

<<I don't believe Joni Really Understands how Good she was back then.
Perhaps Joel can convince her to allow her Fans access to this amazing
Period when the Box Set is Finally Realized.>>



I made a similar point recently,  so I say a big amen to both of those
sentiments. Thanks again, Joey. I'm all aquiver.

Jeff, Wales

From Joey: <<..Producer Corky Siegel arranged (in a Judy Collins Style) Six 
of Joni's  songs ( including a Weird R&B Version of "Circle Game") plus an 
Amazing  Cover of the "Peter, Paul & Mary" Song "Take off your Old Coat">>

Wow!  Corky Siegel!  There's a name I haven't seen/heard for years.   I can 
remember back in the day, my parents taking us kids out in our pajamas to 
the night club/cafe/whatever, so they could see Corky Siegel perform.  I may 
even have a few of his albums in my basement.

<<..A Song I had never heard of called "Sad Wind's Blowin" is Heart 
Wrenching.
Every bit as good as the Stuff on "Blue".>>

Can you tell us some more about this song? lyrics, melody, impressions, ... 
we'll take anything you got.

<< The " Love is like a Big Brass Band " Tune is actually a much  earlier 
Version of "Both Sides Now".  It contains the Same Strum,  pace, feel, and 
overall Melody>>

So, does the lyric line love is lke a big brass band interchange with rows 
and flows of angel hair?

<<The Song "Daisy Summer Piper" is among the Five Prettiest Melodies I think 
she  ever composed.>>

Just out of curiosity, what are the other four?

Thanks for all this great info,
Mia

Subject: Fecking Rita Hurricane (NJC)

I just can't believe it. I see it on TV but I just can't believe there is
enough energy in the gulf to allow such a big furious storm to develop. It
does not look good for Texas and my heart goes out to those people. They
were wonderful hosts to us and I have always talked such trash about Texans
(except for Donna of course). Spoke to one of the engineers from work who
had evacuated to Galveston with his wife in their beautiful sailboat. They
just evacuated again north to Dallas and had to leave the boat behind. I
hope they fair well and with some luck maybe this storm will hit an more
unpopulated area.
We have decided to sit tight here and see what it's gonna do before we bail
out of town again.
I got the office back open today and there is a couple of glimmers of hope
for some jobs coming up. It's that amazing spirit of the people of this town
that are beginning to sing and dance in the streets again. We heard that the
Voodoo Festival will be moving to Memphis for Halloween weekend and the
artists have all committed to play for next to nothing so that the promoters
can make this a benefit for our people. I think I might get to work this
show which would be wonderful. It is sad that we cannot hold the show here
in La. where it belongs.
The Big Apple concert last night was so beautiful. They showed it on cable
access here for free and we caught most of it although I missed Dave
Matthews set. Bette Midler was a scream. Elton out did himself playing
Funeral for a Friend (Love Lies Bleeding), Someone Saved My Life Tonight,
and a New Orleans Pianoy version of Levon. Aaron Neville sitting in with
Simon and Garfunkel had me balling. Dave Matthews sat in with Jimmy Buffett
which was a hoot. Elvis Costello and Diana Krall with the Dirty Dozen Brass
band, Ry Cooder Buckwheat Zydeco and Lenny Kravitz with Irma Thomas on vox
phew! I hope somebody taped this thing. I was not set up to do it.
My heart is being torn apart with the desire to go party with my bitch in
Utah for her wedding or go to D.C. to support my dear friend "the next big
superstar".
Dennis Quaid was in town to do a walk thru in the city and bring us money to
International Hospital for Children. He plans to film his movie here in
January next year. He will direct. What a guy!
My best to all of you!

Love

Paz

P.S. Sing the subject to tune of Lovely Rita

Subject: Re: Joni History

Hi Again All, In reply to Mia's Three Questions:
 
Joni's "Sad Winds Blowin' " has a similar feel to "River". 
It's Sung Rather like a story being told to one's Child.
 
The Melody is slow and Plaintive
 
Some of the Lyrics are:
 
Dark: Strike a Match and Light a Candle
Candles always look so Hopeful
but it's more than I can Handle
 
Cry for a River from the Sun
It's just as Easy
Flame on the Candle's almost Done
It'll be Going
With the Sad Winds Blowin'
 
The Melody line for "And Love is like a Big Brass Band"  would not be  the 
beginning of "Both Sides Now" Lyric "Bows and Flows..., but the  ending
of "I Really Don't Know Love at All"
 
In my opinion Only, I believe the Five Prettiest Melodies Joni has ever  
Written Are:
 
1) Michael from Mountains
2) Daisy Summer Piper
3) Morning Morgantown
4) Blue on Blue
5) Little Green
                                 Thanks Mia,   Joey,
