[Debra Shea Subject: Remix Project Hello all. Just another reminder that I'm still looking for contributions to the Joni Remix Project. Once I have enough tracks to fill a CD, I will be distributing it to the list, free of charge. Any remixes (not necessarily dance mixes) of Joni's songs are welcome, including single edits and mash ups. Thank you to all those who have contributed so far. Non professional mixes are welcome too. I have had two wonderful mixes from listers which will appear on the resulting CD. So, all you budding DJs and music producers, get mixing. Please send all mixes in mp3 format by e-mail off list.

From Something's Coming from Bernstein's West Side Story, in an exciting new arrangement, to Joni Mitchell's Blue Motel Room, arranged by jazz singer Ian Shaw, the album has many jazz standards and delightful new arrangements of songs from other popular music genres. Too Darn Hot! is Claire's ninth album on Linn Records.<< Actually, Linn Records just released Claire Martin's 10th CD - a disc of duets with Richard Rodney Bennett. It's called "When Lights Are Low." While there are no Joni covers on this disc, to give the post some Joni content, Claire is singing "Be Cool" in her live performances, and singing it better than ever. I've been nudging her to record "Sweet Sucker Dance." Scott ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 14:38:08 +0200 From: Karen Marie Espeland Subject: Re: Joni and Canada Hi Laura! Thank you for your beautiful description of how the Canadian spirit reverberates through Joni's work, and how you are drawn to it. It seems as if nostalgia plays a part here, too. Cold weather and short days is definitely something we also can relate to here in Norway! Your mail was certainly inspiring to read - thank you! All the best!

I also found the webcite-links helpful - particularly the one from the McGill's University. A couple of months ago I read that Joni received an Honored Doctorat of Music degree from the McGill's University - but I guess that is old news for all of you! http://www.smoothjazznow.com/artist_joni_mitchell.htm However, I never realized that the speeches from the symposium were available, so thanks for pointing that out. I've got quite a few things to work on now - thank you very much!

Whoa! Sounds like I touched a sensitive nerve there. Sorry, Smurf. You know I wouldn't do that deliberately. I find the stereotypes about the Irish so off-base and outrageous, it brings out the overly dramatic in me. Debra Shea __________________________________ Yahoo!

Damn! I hate emoticons, or else I would have put some in ;-) It's not really a nerve in me, Debra, although I do have an Italian-American friend who really can't stand all the Mafia crap in movies and on TV. I've known him for more than 25 years, and he's been boycotting Mafia entertainment for most of that time. I can understand his point of view, although he does miss out on some great entertainment. A lot of the Irish stereotyping is, as you say, Debra, "off-base and outrageous," but then, so are the Irish! Seriously, I think a discussion about stereotypes could be interesting, but I am up past my bed time! - --Smurf, catch me and you catch me lucky charms - --- Debra Shea wrote: > --- Smurf wrote: > > > Yes, Debra.
