King teaching Joni how to play 'The Thrill Is Gone' for a > guest shot. He said, 'First, we play some shit, then you sing, then we > play some more shit, you sing again, then we play some more shit.' This was the Bread & Roses Festival at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, October, 1980. B.B.'s set was in the middle of the afternoon, with a small band - just himself, a rhythm section, and another guitarist. Near the end of his set, he brought out Joni (it had been previously announced that she was guesting with him, so it wasn't a surprise, just greatly anticipated!). First, they did "Coyote", which was very cool. B.B. was playing these staccato lead lines, unlike anything I'd ever heard him play, or have since. Then, they did "The Thrill Is Gone". He sang the first verse, soloed, and then nodded Joni towards the mic. She looked unsure, and stood back, shaking her head, so he sang again, and next time 'round Joni stepped up and belted this out... The thrill is gone The thrill is gone away The thrill is gone You left me And I hope you DIE It was pretty intense...it really sounded like she was pissed at some guy. I found out later that she had just broken up with Don Alias, so that may have been the impetus. After it was over, B.B. said that it was time for he and the band to go, because they were playing up in Lake Tahoe that night, but that Joni would stick around for a little while. All of us Joni fans were happy to hear that, as 2 songs was just not enough. She got a hollow body electric guitar (a blonde Gretsch, I believe, that was Neil Young's. He had played the night before with the Hawks & Doves band, the only time they did a gig and the only show Neil played in an almost 2 year period), and proceeded to play two brand new songs - "Man to Man" and "You Dream Flat Tires". They were both great, and I have always been kind of disappointed by the album version of "Flat Tires" after hearing that solo version, especially in it's early incarnation. Then she was gone, and I, sitting dead center, about 7 rows back, was reduced to a puddle beneath my seat. Really, it just left my breathless - it was that powerful. I think Tom Paxton was up next, and partway through his set I turned to my friend and said, "Let's go. Nothing else today will be able to compare to what we just saw." He agreed, and we took off. I've always wanted to hear that mini-set since it happened 26 years ago. There was a guy in the row in front of us who was taping, and I asked him if I might be able to get a copy. He said "give me your name and address", but alas, never sent it. I talked to Joel Bernstein once about, since I knew that he is the caretaker of all of Joni's tape archives. He kind of dismissed it as not being a very good performance, and he may be right. Not sure if he'd ever listened to it, or if that was his impression from that day. I'd STILL love to hear it! A friend of mine was backstage that day, and hung out with Joni later that day, and she said that she had been incredibly nervous before going on with B.B. When he suggested "Thrill", she said, "what am I going to sing? and he said "Why don't you write something from your perspective". And there you go.....

I knew someone who was pursuing a doctorate in Music Theory and from what they told me, that is not an easy thing to do. For him, there was thesis after thesis. You break new ground when you pursue a doctorate degree and for that reason alone, I am so proud of you! You change the way the world looks at things. What could be better? Patti, as usual, you are so caring, loving and supportive! One day, I would love to speak fluent French with you!!!! All is set for tomorrow and Gary Wright's wife, Rose will be flying in from California with him. She is a very nice person and I am just as excited to meet her!

We are a family albeit and Internet one. We care about you and are so sorry for your loss. I am so thankful that you and Nick were able to maintain a good relationship after breaking up. I'm so glad that your children had a father that they loved so dearly. I know it is so painful for them right now but I am also so thankful that they were able to love so deeply. Our prayers and thoughts are with you dear Lucy and with your children Liz and Sam. Let me just add a special word to them: Dear Liz and Sam, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your mother is very dear to us and her pain is our pain. I know you are taking this hard because you loved your father but I have to tell you, to have the ability to love this deeply is such a blessing. Thank God you loved your father this much! There are so many that cannot say that...but you can. Please don't be afraid to cry and show your sorrow...never bury it. But after you shed your tears and dry your eyes, breathe, take a moment and try to remember some special things about your father. I know there are many. That is what he would want. He would want you to smile through your tears when you think of him. He would like to always be alive in your heart...because he is. He really is there. He's not suffering anymore and that is something to remember. Rest as much as you can because this has been a traumatic experience for you. It takes a toll on your body...more than you know. Eat because your father would want you to. Sleep because he would want you to rest. Always keep him in your heart and it will be a comfort to you dear Liz and Sam. We here at the Joni Mitchell Discussion List really care for one another and try to be there for each other. We're taking you in and loving you too.... Love, Sherelle From: Lucy Hone Those of you that met my kids at Fest, or who have been to stay at our place will know that their Dad (my ex) has been very ill with a rapidly advancing leukaemia that transformed to Lymphoma (one of the many types).. Nick, who was a fantastic blues bassist, and harmonica player (he learned from Paul Jones of Manfred Mann becuase his cousin Mike Hugg was their drummer) has passed on last night and is probably up there with the best of them...... For all that we became ex's we had managed a civil relationship in the last year and had come to a calm place of friendship and respect. Liz and Sam loved their dad dearly and really I wanted those that know Sam and Liz to have a chance to send any thoughts to them. IF you want our home addy for a letter or card. please mail me off list... Liz particularly is having a hard time... This may seem like an odd way to contact everyone but my mail is playing up and I am never sure if this computer will die or not!!! Love to all of you Lucy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 15:24:01 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: MG - njc Yes it does...Thank you so much for posting and keeping MG alive in our hearts. I met her once in Pittsburgh at our first Jonifest and boy was she a joy!!!! It was my first time eating tofu and I was amazed at how well it was prepared! It was delicious! We were hanging out in Julie Z. Webb's kitchen laughing and talking. I'll never forget it. I wasn't sure of everyone's names but it didn't care. I will miss her prescence too but she's still here in our hearts. Sherelle From: Smurf: It seems hard to believe that two years have passed since our beloved MG died on this date in 2004. I think I will always miss her presence on the list. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 15:37:39 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: Claudia and Randall at the Kennedy Center!!!!

The only decent track is where Stevie Wonder sings a song Mm no qualms there Stevie Wonder is stevie wonder little to do with Busta Rhymes I mean is it me have I missed something in the evolution of music to where we are now, is this a serious opinion that this Artist is talented to warrant a reviewers "A" in Entertaiment Weekly. Now this is the JoniMitchell digest, you know the best lyric writer in Music history, is there anyone prepeared to say that this artist is talented ???? especially his (Joke) lyric writing as i have highlighted.

The two songs Joni did with BB and his touring band were terrible. Funny you said they were learning the simple "Thrill is Gone", because they didn't learn Coyote at all! The bass player blew every change, they played it like they had never heard it before, or didn't care who this skinny white chick was...a real trainwreck. I would descibe "Thrill" as Joni trying to sing, and BB stepping on her and drowning her out (either vocally or with a guitar lick) every time she opened her mouth. Painful. The solo stuff from WTRF was, as you said, sublime. Also, (was it later that day or a different day?) she came out with Herbie Hancock on the grand piano and sang a version of "Sweet Sucker Dance" that blew away the "Mingus" version. She had the mic in her hand and was leaning against the piano, jazz lounge style. I have never heard of a recording of this-although rumours that B&R has them. I'm sure Joni would never want the BB part to be heard. Also, I must have missed something; what was the source of BB's comments about this day? (Tried a library search, but it wasn't working).

Looks like the late Don Knotts isn't going to get a statue either. This is from BoingBoing.com: Plans for Barney Fife statue toppled by Knotts' estate A couple of Barney Fife fans who put down $8,000 to erect a statue of Barney Fife (played by Mick Jagger lookalike Don Knotts) in downtown Mount Airy, NC (the model for Mayberry) received a letter from CBS attorneys telling them to halt the project. [CBS attorney] Mallory Levitt explained to [would-be statue erector Tom] Hellebrand and the Mount Airy News that although Paramount/CBS owned the rights to the character of Barney Fife, the group didn't have the authority to give permission for a likeness of Don Knotts. "That right belongs to the Knotts estate," she said. Levitt told Hellebrand she contacted the actor's estate and business associates of Andy Griffith, and none wanted to go through with the project. The project website, donknottsstatue.com, has a note about the cancellation of the project: "The tears on our pillows bespeak the pain that is in our hearts." The project leaders will be selling a full-size replica of a Mayberry Squad car and a golf cart made to look like a squad car on eBay to recoup their expenses. http://donknottsstatue.com/ - --Smurf .

(njc) Hi everyone, I just returned from the Kennedy Center's Millenium Stage and I have to tell you, I was so happy and overjoyed to see our angel voice Claudia San Soucie up there singing to the depth of her soul. John was in from Holland and our own Ashara surpised us by jumping on a plane to be there as well. We were all so overjoyed to see each other. This was my first time meetinig Randall Williams and I was not disappointed. I wish I were a better music critic so that I can break it down to you song by song, but I was so taken by my dear friend Claudia and two songs especially, "Blue Dress" and "Margaret". I felt a tug at my heart and fought back the tears. Claudia songs were so mesmerizing! My gosh! Randall had a couple of mesmerizing songs as well. One in particular that was so beautiful was "Cut From Cloth". Wow! I loved it! His vocals are so strong and full of energy as well. I truly enjoyed his performance and the way he would grin at Claudia while playing the heck out of that guitar! I can't tell you how I felt sitting in the front row watching our Claudia shine before a crowd that filled the area. I kept saying to myself, "She's at the Kennedy Center!!!!" Also thinking about it being streamed on the Internet filled me with joy as well! Just wonderful!!!! I wish I could have stayed and hung out with John, Claudia, and Ashara but I had to get home. I couldn't have been happier though! I told all the people on the shuttle bus how wonderful Claudia is and what a prolific singer/songwriter she is. She really touched my heart. She has a depth of musicianship and pathos in her lyrics that tear your heart to pieces. You know she has something to say and you want to hear more. I couldn't be more proud of her! Randall was so kind but he spoke the truth when he told the audience how prolific a writer she is. I think there may still be a way to hear her and Randall's performance on Kennedy Center Internet radio. If you can check it out, please do! Then you will see that I am telling it like it is!
