Sorry I haven't been able to send more individual messages to all the JMDLers I call friends, but my wishes for a peaceful 2006, and health and happiness in your personal life, are just as sincere. And to those who haven't seen this before, here is my little gift of cheer. (I think it's sublime, especially watch the reindeer on the left!) Lots of love, Lieve in London. http://www.caves.org/phpBB2/merryxmas.swf This Cartoon was made by Joshua Held in 2002.

This just off the newswire: New artists getting a latte of attention Starbucks is already brewing two new Hear Music CDs to be released early next year. First up will be a new disc from Brazilian pop/jazz star Sergio Mendes, who had a string of hits in the '70s and '80s, including Never Gonna Let You Go, and is now hoping to make a 21st-century comeback. Out in April will be the debut by 16-year-old singer Sonya Kitchell, who grew up in rural Massachusetts. Words Came Back to Me, due April 4, will be released jointly by Hear Music and Velour Records. It'll be a predominantly acoustic record, spotlighting Kitchell's lyrics and unadorned voice. The Los Angeles Times is already raving about her, calling her a "fascinating performer." Starbucks is banking on Kitchell big-time, shuttling her around the country to make appearances at their coffeehouses and landing her a Feb. 1 gig at Carnegie Hall, where she and other artists will pay tribute to the music of Joni Mitchell. - ----------- I've just been listening to Sonya on her website, and clearly she has big-time skills. She's worked extensively with Aaron Neville and Susan Tedeschi. She could be the next... Well, you know. But don't take my word for it, check it out yourself. She's only 16. Phenomenal. www.sonyakitchell.com - -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 04:37:03 -0800 (PST) From: Smurf Subject: Re: Nellie/Joni show/bob's crappy musical taste NJC Paz wrote: > > P.S.

Les - I'm an avid amateur photographer, and I'm interested. But I just want to ask, what constitutes Joni-related work in photography? Does this mean taking a photo of a desert highway and say it was inspired by "Amelia" or "Coyote" for example? Or is this limited to photos taken of Joni herself? - - jim ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2005 00:57:08 +0100 From: Oddmund Kaarevik Subject: Painters and prairies As someone mentioned some time ago here on the list - Joni Mitchell and Neil Young share much common ground. What first come to my mind is that they both this year have released a record album with the word "Prairie" in the title: "*Songs of a Prairie Girl"* and "The Prairie wind." They both grew up along the prairie, and this seem to reoccur as important for them now when they have reached a certain age - and suffered and struggled through several diseases - Maybe they're just dreaming back to their childhood days - as Joni sings: I come from open prairie. Or maybe they are just 'fighting off growing old? I don't know. Maybe they have both seen and experiences the thin line between life and death - and that they both are, as all of us, getting closer to the latter. As Young sings "Bury me out on the prairie, where the buffalo used to roam. Where the Canada geese once filled the sky. And then I wont be far from home." I think someone mentioned this before - but driving home with my parents tonight - it reoccured to me that there must be a link between Youngs first track "The Painter" and Joni. So here I am gonna show my interpretations and thougts on the link - and of course pay my respect to the one on the list who mentioned it first - - Neil young: > The painter stood > Before her work > She looked around every where > She saw the pictures and she painted them > She picked the colors from the air Joni Mitchell: > I want to paint a picture > Botticelli style > Instead of Venus on a clam > I'd paint this flower child > "You are the air my flowers breathe" > He calls and the ladies turn around > On the first day of Spring > I'm looking at the only joy around > and > "If I were a painter" Picasso said > "I'd paint this girl from toe to head!" > Yvette in English saying > "Please have this > Little bit of instant bliss" > > Neil Young: Green to green Joni Mitchell: > Just a little green > Like the color when the spring is born > There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow > Just a little green > Like the nights when the Northern lights perform Neil young: Red to red Joni Mitchell: And her blood-red fingernails You're in my blood like Holy-Wine Neil Young: Yellow to yellow Joni Mitchell: > Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning > And the first thing that I saw > Was the sun through yellow curtains > And a rainbow on the wall > Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you > Neil Young Black to black When the evening comes Blue to blue In the night Joni Mitchell: > > On the back of a cartoon coaster > In the blue TV screen light > I drew a map of Canada > Oh Canada > With your face sketched on it twice > And Once in a while > In a big blue moon > There comes a night like this - - - So for me, in my Joni-cracked up head - there is a great connection between these two - Marianne - maybe some of the greatest living artists - and the connection is latest shown in this very song "The Painter" Thanks for listenening and reading in love and dedication Oddmund Norway ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 20:05:14 EST From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: joni tribute, pre-concert Hi Ya'll, Anybody in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction interested in a pre-concert get-together?

This is about life and death." I agree with her with all my heart and mind, so I am passing on her message to you all. You can read more of her messages here at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cindy-sheehan/ , but for now, here is her latest, pasted below. Wishing love and peace to all in 2006 ("....I said it like it was something to strive for..."), Patti P. - ---------------- 2006: The Year the Chickenhawks Will Go Home to Roost Since hot, hot Camp Casey in August, some amazing grass roots actions have taken place all over the country. People are starting to speak up and Congress has begun to take action against the criminal and neo-Fascist regime that tried to take over America. From Camp Casey to Katrina to use of chemical weaponry and extraordinary rendition to illegally spying on American citizens without due process, Bushco has miserably failed our country and the world. We as Americans said "enough is enough." We sacrificed a lot when we showed up in DC and other cities around the country in the hundreds of thousands to protest against and show that we withdraw any consent to be governed by murderous thugs. We started to peacefully, but forcefully resist the notion that this government has any right to govern us when they have betrayed their offices and their sacred trusts as "defenders" of the Constitution so horribly. This was also the year that we also began to hold such Republicans in Democratic clothing like: Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Joe Biden, and Diane Feinstein (list is my no means all inclusive) accountable for their support of what George is doing in Iraq. When we as Democrats elect our leaders we expect them to reject and loudly repudiate the murderous and corrupt policies of this administration: not support and defend them. There are Camp Caseys in front of Hillary's and Chuck Schumer's offices in Long Island every Friday, as well as one in front of Diane Feinstein's Los Angeles office on Fridays, also. There has been a Camp Casey in front of Kay Bailey Hutchinson's office in Dallas since August. Several protestors have been arrested in Dallas exercising their First Amendment rights. We need to let these warmongers, as well as the Republican warmongers, know that we mean business when we say "bring them home now." Set up Camp Caseys in front of your Senator's or Congress person's office if they support George in his wars of aggression. Gold Star Families for Peace is planning many activities for the first part of 2006. I would like to give you all a heads up on them, so you can make your plans accordingly to support us and to join us if at all possible. On January 31st , we will be in Washington, DC for the State of the Union address when George gets in front of Congress and the world and lies through his teeth about how great everything is going in Iraq and here at home. His idiotic policies have ruined Iraq and New Orleans and made the world a more dangerous placeallowing that terrorist attacks have tripled world wide since he decided to "fight them over there." He also may be laying the ground work for further acts of needless aggression against Syria and Iran. GSFP and representatives from other peace organizations and refugees from New Orleans will be gathering in DC to give the "Real State of the Union." Check our website for place and time. For the Love of God, Can't you Make Him Stop? Recently, it was revealed that George only interacts with four people: Laura, Condi, Karen Hughes and his Mom. His Mom, the Ice Queen who didn't want her "pretty mind" burdened with the images of flag draped coffins coming home, lives in Houston. On President's Day, (Feb. 20) we will be demonstrating in front of her house to implore her to forget about the obscene profits that her family and their friends are making off of this occupation and to beg her to finally do the right thing and make her son stop this insane war OF terror against the world. George and Dick are defiling the highest offices of the world and they need to resign. On President's Day, when we have the day off, we need to demonstrate against the ones who are illegitimately in power, anyway. If you can't make it to Houston, organize your own President's Day protest. The Camp Casey Peace Foundation will hold its first annual Peace Festival and Concert on April 4, 2006. April 4 th is the day Casey and Martin Luther King, Jr were killed. We want to turn it into a true day for celebrating peace. The Camp Casey Peace Foundation will be awarding the Casey Sheehan Peace Prize, a cash prize, to a young peace activist every year. We want to foster the growth of solving problems non-violently and young people are the ones who get killed in the gray haired old men's wars. We are working on an exciting event and we will announce more details as the event draws closer. Camp Casey Easter edition: We will be heading back to our leased land in Crawford April 11th to Easter, which is April 16th. Easter is a time of renewal and hopeful promises. Casey was killed on Palm Sunday and his body was returned to us in the cargo section of a United Airlines flight on Holy Saturday and we buried him two days after Easter. Last Easter Season was so painful to us. This Easter we will again be demonstrating in front of the man's home who is responsible for such pain and abject heartache in the world. But, we will be there with a renewed sense of hope that the Chickenhawks will be sent out to pasture this year. Like Michael Moore, I want to be a fly on the wall when Bush and company are hauled out of the White House in handcuffs. Impeachment is not necessary for people who never were electedeviction is what is needed. If you can't join us in Crawford, set up your own Camp Casey near you. In 2005, we learned that we have the power. We learned that we can't rely on the propaganda media or the empty promises of most of our elected leadership. We learned that we need to be the change that we desire to see. We learned that one person can and does make a difference. We cannot relax in 2006. We cannot slip back into the evil of apathy and complacency that the neocons rejoice in. We need to keep pounding, working, and fighting. We need to support organizations like Gold Star Families for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Code Pink and Iraq Veterans Against the War, or the Peace organization of your choice so we can continue our struggle for peace with justice. We need to support true American patriots like John Conyers who is calling for an investigation and censure for the lies that have cost us so much of our national human treasure. 2006 will be a great year for the people of our country. I know it. It won't be easy, but we will prevail and the struggle will be worth it. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 22:15:10 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: njc, a New Year's Message from Cindy Sheehan Cindy said: "We want to foster the growth of solving problems non-violently and young people are the ones who get killed in the gray haired old men's wars."

It was great to see Donovan again, and to hear some of his views about music. I had forgotten that he was tabbed as the rival of Bob Dylan in his heyday. I did get to see him open for Yes in '77. He was very very good. The interviewer asked him if he thought he had been slighted over the years. He answered that maybe his music had, but not him personally. What a great answer from an artist that could have bitterness in seeing what artists like 50 cent, Jessica/Ashlee Simpson and others are knocking down.
