I'm not sure it's necessarily the best idea to introduce people to her work with a smorgasbord of her entire career. I think most people have to get into it through the more accessible stuff first and then branch out into some of her more esoteric stuff - maybe I'm wrong, just a thought. Also, I notice there's a tendency around here for people to look down on those who didn't like Joni's later stuff. Well, I don't think being a Joni fan has to be an all-or-nothing thing. Wouldn't you rather introduce someone to Joni 1967-1976 than have them never hear her at all? I don't know if I'm alone in this but it's true that I tend to like the folkier sounding material over the jazzier material (please, don't stone me!) I mean, you should just keep in mind people's personal preferences when compiling a mix cd for them. I've been a Linda Ronstadt fan longer than a Joni Mitchell fan (I don't know how that's perceived around here) so I'm better versed in her entire career. But if I were making a Linda Ronstadt sampler for my parents for example, I would leave out Mad Love because I dont' think they'd be too into New Wave. I'd probably also leave out the Mexican songs. If I were making it for myself, (doesn't make much sense, I know) I'd go heavey on the early country/folk-rock stuff and light on a lot of the 80s stuff. The average person would probably want 70s hits. Anyhow, just a thought. Les - I'd love to help with the project.

I went to Barry Cowsill's memorial yesterday to help Susan with a video set up to show some video footage of Barry and the fam. They had a nice turn out and the Jazz Funeral arrived to Kerry Irish Pub right before I did and I was able to slip in and set up the video before it got to packed. Lots of folks played. Vikki Petterson was there and played a lot as well as Peter Holsapple. The Cowsill's actually performed as well and it was so much fun to see them playing. They sounded great and played all the hits. Indian Lake and Hair sounded really good. I walked around in the quarter for a while afterwards and it was very bitter sweet. There lots of locals out and the hardcore tourists who managed to find places to stay. I met Mikey and his tribe and Freda by Lee Circle for Bacchus and Endymion parades. We stayed till Bacchus ended and had to split cause we were all exhausted. I stopped in the convention center to see my crew for a minute and the parade was just getting into the ball. It was pandemonium. I ran into Steven Segal who is such an ass. I did not see Willie who was probably in his bus burning one. I did hear his manager ask the show producer to stop the parade (it was 2 hours late) so that Willie could play his set. I laughed like a damn fool and decided it was time for me to split before it got ugly. I am glad they decided to have Mardi Gras. It does not make any sense to cancel it cause the other 80% of the city is so fucked up. The people all look so happy and I am sure it comes as a welcome relief to a lot of locals. I am not that big a Mardi Gras party type I guess cause I party all the time and don't need no special excuse. I will be heading to see Zulu parade tomorrow real early morning before I leave town for Honduras. The Habitat people continue to wow the locals here. Happy Lundi Gras!

Nice to hear from you... Just a couple of responses to your post: You're very correct in saying that it's important to keep your audience in mind when making a sampler of any kind. I've been doing them for awhile now and usually am not too far off the mark. If I was trying to turn someone on to Joni and they were a "girl with guitar" kind of person, I definitely would steer clear of some of the glossier and less acoustic stuff. I don't think you're as correct with your statement about us "looking down on those who don't like Joni's later stuff", all of have been pretty honest about our likes & dislikes and while it typically generates some discussion I don't see anybody being belittled in any way. Plenty of people here don't care for anything after Blue! Others like the 80's stuff the best. The variety makes it interesting. Making a Linda Ronstadt compilation of hits would be easy as she had them. Joni only had one top ten hit in her career, and only a couple others even remotely called hits so it's a bigger challenge. Besides, unless the recipient of the compilation is new to music in general, they're going to be familiar with what the radio had played and not that into it. So the challenge is to go for the deep tracks and show them that there's a lot more to Joni than BSN and BYT and Help Me. Keep the posts coming...

She's ready for Joni's hardest punches. I'd suggest ending with the song "For the Roses" because it's about disillusionment and resolve. These 2 themes will not be foreign to someone who appreciates Mike Timmins' songs. In my opinion, a compilation should drive the recipient to buy CDs rather than act as the last word in greatest tracks. Since she's already heard C&S too often, I'd confound her with "Overture/Cotton Ave", then "Amelia/Pat's Solo", then close with "For The Roses". That'll make her scratch her head. Have fun and don't push too hard. All the best, Jim L'Hommedieu Kate in SK is working on a compilation: >I've been thinking of doing this for my best friend, who still can't stand Joni because I played Miles of Aisles and Court and Spark endlessly (apparently) when we were roommates some 25 years ago.> I'd like to compile a tape of songs for my friend; wonder if anyone would have ideas what songs might not offend her anti-soprano ear.

I've expressed my disdain for the expression "Podcast" as well. I don't like the sound of it.

You can check on their site (in the Music section) and type in JM and you'll see 48 Joni songs on their playlist, not too shabby...but when you click on the songs, you'll see that there are only three that get any regular airplay; Let The Wind Carry Me, DJRD, and Be Cool. Lots of the 48 have NEVER been played. Whenever I give them money I politely encourage them to play more Joni, but to no avail. Of course, if you read the listener comments about the Joni songs that get played, maybe I can see why Bill & Rebecca don't play any more than they do.

No, Catherine! Cherish is the word I use to describe all the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside. You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you. You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you. You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you. And I do cherish you. - --Smurf PS: You are driving me out of my mind. Tired of spam? Yahoo!

For the last couple of years, I've been leaning toward "For the Roses." Both albums have such personal associations from very troubled times for me At age 17 (FTR) and 21 (Hejira) that it's hard for me to be objective. I wallowed in those albums--though I guess the same could be said for Blue (16 springs and 16 summers gone then). I remember playing "River" on the piano, having learned it from the album, and as I was playing it my mother came in to find me in tears. (That's still my piano--the one my parents bought when I was four years old.

In this case, though, I am making this compilation for a friend who's a musician and a writer, so I think he'll really get into hearing career-spanning selections. Also, he has a pretty good knowledge of 'Blue" and already knows and likes some of Joni's earlier work. Just FYI -- I came to this list a folkie-Joni lover who hated any jazzy-Joni stuff, yet a couple of years later I found myself obsessed with 'Hejira' and some much later work.

While it's never been one of my absolute favorites, it does have it's place in Joni History. Joni tends to be on the cutting edge of technology at times. When I purchased Travelogue I was surprised to find that all of the songs from both CDs were playable from the first CD when using a computer CD player. I recently came upon a CD which contains every Beatles song ever released plus a few rarities and realized that Joni had already done that on a smaller scale.

Catherine, it is I who have truly loved you from afar. Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize that I want you just like a thousand other guys who'd say they loved you with all the rest of their lies when all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands and gaze into your eyes. Perish is the word that more than applies to the hope in my heart each time I realize that I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams, that I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes, that I am not gonna be the one to share what seems to be the life that you could cherish as much as I do yours.
