Just a reminder that the Joni remix project is still on hold until new material can be found. There is still not enough to fill a CD. When there is, I will make it available to the list. Please send any remixes, extended versions or mash ups of Joni's songs to me off list. I would love to include any mixes done by people from this list so, if you are adept at Reason or Cubase, get mixing. Mark in Sydney.

Well- my absence from work (as a childrens librarian) gave me time on my hands, time and money and music to burn. So I made a double-Joni-cd to my best friend. I was trying to choose and pick a variety of songs, but I could not at all limit myself, so I ended up with 34 trackcs of SIQUOMB-music on this double disc. I was very proud of it. The first one, I called Cold blue steel, and included her 15 of Jonis serious and oh so beatuiful song, and many of her late versions with the orchestra (I love that voice!!!) The second cd, i called: sweet, sweet, sweet fire. And here I include many of her light, humoristic and funny songs. You know lately I4ve listening to only-joni, and been totally brain-washed and start liking songs I did not like before, like "Raised on a robbery" and "Rays dad4s cadillac"But magic in the makin, made me make several mistakes, which in a way is a good thing. A good example is when i mixed the tracks and instead of follow up people4s parties with same situations, as joni do herself, i put in "Why do fools fall in love" live version S&L. Gee! That4s a major mistake. I guess I am a Joni-phanatic, and in a way this mistakes hurt my musicsoul, but my ethcial side find it good. Because if my friend, as I hope he will, gets a good taste of jonis music through my picking av favorite tracks, he might start buying jonis music himself. And the he will be surprised of how much better joni is, making and organizing her cds than i am, and that is, I would, dare to say, a win - win situation ! Oh, Romeo , Romeo I hope you can forgive my little statemen against jonis hair and weight dsisussion the other day, I guess it was a bad hair-day, or something. . . Ooh I talk to loose, My operation also gave me the opertunity to translate "Hejira" into norwegian, which gave me a greater understanding of a wonderful and very inspiring text.

It was a very positive show, wasn't it? Didn't Oprah say more than once, with honest incredulity: "I can't believe you're being so nice to me!" Yeah, no way could he make fun of her serious and wonderful work. And it took a lot of courage for her to go on his show after all of his jokes and protracted hype about her. (I don't watch him that often because, at that late hour, I am usually more in the mood for peaceful, nodding-off-to-dreamland thoughts over comedy and sarcasm.) Her integrity and inner beauty came through loud and clear -- her own shining hour! People may put Oprah down for being too "popular culture", but she sure has done a lot to make the world a better place. Her humanitarian work, her generosity, her getting people to read again, etc. My only complaint is that she didn't snag Joni before Rosie did during the BSN tour! . As you said, Mark: "If there ever were such things as angels, I think Oprah Winfrey comes pretty close to qualifying as one." Yep! And of course Bonnie was wonderful as always. Too bad she didn't close the show with a re-written "Angel from Mississippi"....oops I mean "Angel from Montgomery", of course! (Just joking....she was perfect as she was.) Love, Patti P.

Apart from the first track I find it rather dull and uniform somehow and am not enamoured by her own songwriting for some reason. My favourite album of hers is Sleepless which I can listen to tirelessly. I've seen her live a few times and have always loved her performances.

When I read Jim's interpretation, it sounded complex, but sort of plausible. This morning, I see it on a simpler level. At the risk of stating the obvious, the medicine wheel shines above as a guiding light. (Joni mentioned in SF that this symbol appears everywhere in the culture, from car steering wheels to tv test pattrens!) Fire and water are opposites, symbols of the need for balance in the world. The child is the continent of Africa - she is calling to us. She is saying, listen, the women and children of this continent need you. If there's a place on the planet right now that needs healing, peace and goodwill, I'd say it is Africa. Let us hope that the world hears this message before it is too late, because it's getting very late... Founded in 1999, War Child Canada is an independent charitable organization working across North America and around the world to assist children affected by war and to raise awareness for children's rights everywhere. http://www.warchild.ca/merchandise_cards.asp Michael in Quebec Jim said, Here's a 20 second art crit snapshot: Every Child represents the union of the Apple Mind. Yeah, the child brings together the European/Intellect/"I know" Christmas tree culture, with the African/drum beat/connection to "I sense". The drummer holds an ear, reminding the viewer to listen (verily, even as we participate) and stands before a backdrop of "50/50 fire and ice". This means our Apple mind acts and listens within a dichotomy, a paradox. Life is found in the motion between two extremes. The stylized circle evokes "Starry Night" and Joni's personal philosophy of the Medicine Wheel. When we move through all four directions, we find the oneness of a child: clarity with feeling, a passing resolution to Every Adult's lifelong struggle. Naw... it can't be that.

Here's another pro-"rather" contribution: You said you think her language is 'somewhat precious' in her early period, and by that I think you mean 'poetic'. However, considering the impression I get from the rest of the textual context, I have to admit that I disagree: I don't see her language in 'River' as 'poetic', but more like prose, more colloquial. 'Fear is like a wilderland/Stepping stones or sinking sand' is poetic, typical of her early period, as I see it. But not 'But it don't snow here/It stays pretty green'. I think the 'don't snow here', with colloquial concord mistake and all, gives an impression of everyday language. I don't think it seems likely that she'd want to say 'lovely green' after that... I like your question though! :) 'He loved me so naughty/Made me weak in the knees' - I wonder how promiscuous this was in 1971? Best regards, Karen Marie NP: PJ Harvey, "The Garden" Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 08:28:03 -0800 (PST) From: Bryan Subject: Re: It Stays Pretty Green & Hair Color >When Joni wrote (in "River") "It don't snow here/It stays pretty >green," did she mean "It stays a lovely green" or "It remains rather green"???> >Bryan Well, the response, while modest, has been decidedly pro-"rather." I'll vote for "lovely" however. It just seems more Joni-like to me, especially in the somewhat-precious language she sometimes used in her early work (yes, Blue is early). It also seems more visually, emotionally and poetically descriptive to me than the "rather" option. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2005 14:08:44 -0800 (PST) From: Em Subject: Re: Riding on the City of New Orleans Hi Paz, what a wonderful gig!

Joni is helping these guys to raise money. Who are they? Here's their own 2 sentence definition. War Child Canada said, >Founded in 1999, War Child Canada is an independent charitable organisation working across North America and around the world to assist children affected by war and to raise awareness for children's rights everywhere.

The poor kid's in a mixed up world of angels and devils. Maybe the clothes and music will help the drummer makes sense of it, and build some semblence of a garden. As a 9 year old with polio, in the weeks before Christmas, Joan Anderson read lyrics and colored pictures of Christmas carolers as she meditated on health. She made a pact that if she received health, she'd show her thanks. So, here she is, coloring pictures in the Christmas season, saying "thanks" and passing it along. Amen, Brother Jim ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2005 03:00:05 +0100 From: JoniPD Subject: "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" Hi, dears! Just found this today... I really don't recall if it's already posted here... Hugs: Emiliano http://www.bad-news-beat.org/article.php?sid=1201 A little CSNY A little Joni A little Geffen Monday, November 21 @ 12:42:52 >From the Indpendent (on line) By Barney Hoskyns Published: 18 November 2005 Sex, drugs and the billion-dollar rise of David Geffen One of Geffen's unlikeliest allies was Stephen Stills, whose craving for success belied the self-loathing that lingered from his love-starved boyhood. Stills saw Geffen as his ticket to megastardom, and with good reason. Uptight and politically conservative, Stills hid his uneasiness about Geffen's sexual orientation and often stayed at his apartment on Central Park South. One night in the late spring of 1969, Geffen and Stills took a taxi up to Ahmet Ertegun's swanky place on the Upper East Side. Over dinner the three men discussed ways to make Crosby, Stills and Nash the biggest band in the land. When Stills expressed doubts about CSN going on the road as an acoustic trio, Ahmet Ertegun scratched his goatee beard. "Stephen," he asked, "did you ever think about getting Neil Young in the group?" *** When Joni Mitchell opened for CSNY in Chicago in August 1969, Neil Young took his fellow Canadian aside and whispered that they should be opening for her. It was a generous sentiment and one that Joni appreciated. "I feel very kindred to Neil," she later told Musician. "We're caught between two cultures - we're neither-nor." Young, though, was secretly shocked by the confessional transparency of Mitchell's songs. "[Joni] writes about her relationships so much more vividly than I do," he told Cameron Crowe. "I guess I put more of a veil over what I'm talking about." It was ironic, therefore, that Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" was a song about the end of Mitchell's affair with Graham Nash. Maybe it was easier for him to observe the relationship problems of others than to confront his own. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2005 22:21:44 EST From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: Re: holiday cards designed by Joni sJc Whoa! Excellent observation, Jim. This is getting more interesting by the minute. Leave it to Joan to bring the duality. That is in fact a West African Talking Drum Joni painted for the Warchild Christmas card. Here's a bit of description of the history of this variety of drum: The talking drums of West Africa are renowned for their ability to closely imitate the rhythms and intonations of the spoken word, the more skilled players can reproduce dialogue understood by a knowledgeable audience. By sending the messages along, they can be carried for miles. Whether accompanying dances or sending messages, the sound of these instruments can carry many miles. Specific talking drum patterns and rhythms are also closely linked with ogun, or spiritual beings associated with the traditional Yoruba belief system originally celebrated in Nigeria and parts of Ghana. This religion (and its instrumentation and rhythmic patterns) spread to South and Central America, regions of the Caribbean and the United States during the era of the slave trade. Because of the perceived potential of talking drums to "speak" in a tongue unknown to slave traders and thus to incite rebellion, these and other drums were once banned from use by African Americans in the United States. In Ghana, West Africa, Akan communities also highly regard a drummer who play the "atumpan", or Akan form of the talking drum. As J.H. Kwabena Nketia explains; "He is considered the greatest of all drummers because of the breadth of his knowledge, the skill which his work demands and the role he plays as a leading musician in all ensembles in which the atumpan drums are used." Me again: What is intriguing to me is that it appears that Joni has merged the African drum ethos with the Christmas story to create a new monotheism that lends itself to a personal spiritual curiosity and introspection. The idea of the African drum carrying the good news that a king is born. That bright lit wheel in the sky would be the Star of Bethlehem then, of course. All very interesting... - -Julius In a message dated 12/3/05 6:26:46 PM, jimbowie@gmail.com writes: > On 12/4/05, JRMCo1@aol.com wrote: > > Perhaps, but the child doesn't look African to me necessarily.
