I don't agree with you here though. If there were other years added to the Circle Game, I think it would dilute the song. As the song is now, the focus is on growing up, not growing old. I think it is perfect as it is... like a painting of only one's torso and head could be said to be "incomplete," but it can be for emphasis, to focus the observer on the heart and the mind for example.

You make me smile. For that, and since you're such a cool guy, I'll be sure and get you a program or some other such memento from the Tribute. See how susceptible to flattery I am? :-) As to your question, I'm hoping for full-on, high-definition video and maybe a television special on PBS or BBC or Canadian TV...or all three. A CD would seem a natural, too, and a great way to continue raising funds for the cause. But I don't know if any such plans exist in reality. Maybe Les has info gleaned from Michael Dorf, the event producer. My gut feeling is that this event will be produced for official video and live recording, but your guess is as good as mine. Bootlegs are a pretty sure bet, but I certainly won't be wired for sound.

'You must be my Lucky StarStarlight, starbright first star I see tonightStarlight, [starbright] make everything all rightStarlight, starbright first star I see tonightStarlight, [starbright] yeah' In 1985, Joni wrote in 'Lucky Girl':'You're my lucky starYou're my magicianYou make the night prowling disappearVanished from the star war bars' Is this striking resemblence just a coincidence?

You're always so warm'n kind... and certainly you know what it matters! Wisdom speaks in your voice. I feel very sorry for Jose Luis Coy: he certainly was a Great and Wise man, having a friend in you. Since he was born in Salamanca, let me quote a poem from one of my favourite spanish philosopher and poet, born and died in Salamanca: Miguel de Unamuno: This is called, simply, "Death", and it's from maybe his first collection of poems, from 1907 Muerte (Hamlet: To die, to sleep..., to sleep... perchance to dream.) Eres suenno de un dios; cuando despierte al seno tornara's de que surgiste? sera's al cabo lo que un di'a fuiste? parto de desnacer sera' tu muerte? El suenno yace en la vigilia inerte? Por dicha aqui' el misterio nos asiste; para remedio de la vida triste, secreto inquebrantable es nuestra suerte. Deja en la niebla hundido tu futuro y ve tranquilo a dar tu u'ltimo paso, que cuanto menos luz, vas ma's seguro. Aurora de otro mundo es nuestro ocaso? Suenna, alma mi'a, en tu sendero oscuro: "Morir... dormir... dormir... sonnar acaso!" You're a god's dream; when he awakes will you return to the breast you arrived from? will you be, at last, what you once were? Birth of unbirth will be your death? Does the dream lie in the vigil, with no movement? Fortunately here the mystery assists us; for sad life's remedy, an uncoverable secret is our fate. Let staying in the fog your future and go calmly to give your last step, that the less the light, the more secure you go. Dawn of other world is our dusk? Dream, my soul, in your dark path: "To die... to sleep... to sleep... perchance dream" Miguel de Unamuno, Salamanca, 1864-1936 Please excuse me, all of you, for the rough translation and for the theme Love: Emiliano Patti Parlette wrote: Bonne annee, Jonilovers! Catherine wrote: "Being on a list like this gives me hope for the future, despite all the nastiness in the world. It's that connection with other people in different places and time zones that is more real than politics." Yes! Beautifully said (comme d'habitude), Catherine! Merci beaucoup! I'll drink a case of you to *that*! And I loved *your* post, Mark in Sydney (not to mention all your fabulous Joni pics throughout the past year!), about the fireworks: "The fireworks over Sydney Harbour were spectacular again this year and the theme this year was Love, Hope and Compassion with a giant heart on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Please think those thoughts as it turns midnight in each time zone around the world." Yes! Love, Hope and Compassion. Got it...no problem on my end. (Now could someone please get this message to Bushco? Let him know it is something to strive for?) And pardon me for oversharing, but I got some really sad news yesterday morning -- and there is a fireworks connection. My former department head (from 1990 to 1996) passed away on Friday. I did not know he was ill, so the news of his passing was a terrible shock. He was a wonderful and wise friend to me, for so many years. The reason I am sharing this with you all at this moment of the world is because I went to visit him and his wife a few years ago when they moved to Baltimore, MD. It was my first solo pleasure trip after a few years of really horrible stuff/dark cafe days, and my soul really needed love and nurturing. My first night there they took me to a restaurant (a schooner, treating me like a queen) in Baltimore Harbor -- and they had FIREWORKS! They were joking that they arranged the fireworks just for my visit. So if you don't mind, I want to spiritually share the image of Mark's beautiful fireworks in Sydney with my dear friend, Jose Luis Coy, who was born in Salamanca, Spain, in 1928. May he rest in peace. Emiliano or Mike, maybe you could send up a Spanish prayer or good thought for him? He has 9 siblings and 29 nieces and nephews in Spain and I feel this special Spanish spiritual connection right now. And to close on a brighter note, yesterday I finally celebrated Christmas w/ my boys, and it was a very Joni Christmas! (Chris the Elder was in Missouri w/ his girlfriend for Christmas, and just returned to CT.) We exchanged gifts, and the first one I opened contained 3 CDs. "Songs of a Prairie Girl", "For the Roses", and "Ladies of the Canyon". Chris: You probably have them all, right? Me: I've been dying to get "Songs of a Prairie Girl", but I do have the other two. But that's okay -- there are some I don't have yet, so I'll just exchange them. Thank you, honey! (huge smile) Michael: CHRIS! Chris: What???? Michael: I thought we discussed this, that we should not give Mom any Joni Mitchell stuff. It's like giving beer to an alcoholic! (smiles all around). Now I really don't care about material things, but I do love thoughtful gifts from the heart. The next one I opened was a beautiful angel ornament. The angel is holding a baby and it says: "Blessed are mothers." Awwwww! And to make it even better, it is packed in a beautiful box amid (I kid you not) what looks like rows and flows of angel hair. And the back of the box says: "Serenity is a gentle collection of angels that embody the flight of the human spirit." Amelia! And then, a bottle of my fancy French cologne -- my one big indulgence. (FYI, it is Magie Noire, by Lancome. I wonder if Joni ever wore this? ) And another gift, that the few sports and baseball fans here will appreciate: a beautiful framed photograph of my boys taken in the Monster Seats at Fenway (hi Anne!). The green grass of the ball field is in the background, and you can see a player or two. Chris and Michael are all smiles, arms around each other, and Chris has on his Red Sox jersey, and Michael his evil empire Yankee's jersey. Duality and both sides now -- they both came from the *same* sets of circumstance, and turned out so differently, sports-loyalty-wise. In the picture I also see brotherly love, along with the hope that yes, we can all get along, despite our differences. Okay, mes ami(e)s, that's all from me ce soir. I hope you all had a lovely holiday season and that we can keep all the good feelings alive.

I have been reluctant to write anything about 'Brokeback Mountain' because frankly I do not have enough time to compose the kind of post that would express just how deeply moved I was by this movie, nor do I want to engage in any conversation with anyone who found the film lacking in any way. Anyone who knows me at all knows I never cry, but I began sobbing about 30 minutes into the movie and then continued right up to the end. No movie has ever done that to me before. I saw the film with six other people -- 2 gay men and 2 lesbian married couples (this *is* Massachusetts, after all!) My reaction was by far the most emotional, but everyone -- with the exception of one woman -- cried. I know this movie isn't in general release, but if you live in any part of the world where it's showing, I'll second Mark's recommendation and strongly suggest that you go see it. - --Smurf __________________________________________ Yahoo!

I haven't been very active on the site either but I do scan the posts for interesting bits & found the news of the show that way as well. I know someone who lives near the hall was thinking of having some people over before the show but I don't know how that's coming along. My wife and I will be coming into the city in the afternoon and will need to have dinner so I wonder if anyone else wants to meet somewhere for dinner... I know a reasonable place in the theater district.

'brokeback mountain' is something completely different. the sense of loss, of regret, is so damn powerful. jake gyllenhall is wonderful, especially as his character ages, and anne hathaway and michelle williams are great as the wives. but every bit of praise you've heard for heath ledger is doubly deserved. his character is so closed off, so tightly wound; to this moment i can't figure out why i cared so much about ennis by the end of the movie. i just can't figure it out; there seemed to be no cracks in his shell that would let care in or out. and yet, somehow... patrick, np - imogen heap, hide and seek - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Smurf Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 10:49 PM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: Brokeback Mountain / Rufus and "The Maker Makes" -- njc This is a link to Rufus Wainwright's "The Maker Makes," which is heard during the closing credits of the film: http://www.gay.com/video/article.html?id=710&navpath=/channels/entertainment / The Maker Makes Brokeback Mountain Soundtrack One more chain I break to get me closer to you One more chain does the maker make to keep me from bustin' through One more notch I scratch to keep me thinkin' of you One more notch does the maker make upon my face so blue Get along little doggies, get along little doggies One more smile I fake, 'n try my best to be glad One more smile does the maker make, because he knows I'm sad Oh Lord, how I know, Oh Lord, how I see, that only can the maker make a happy man of me Get along little doggies, get along little doggies, get along __________________________________________ Yahoo!
