I do have Misses which has: Dog Eat Dog Impossible Dreamer As well as the new book with all the songs from DED. Happy to help if I can. Good luck with thesis. Does that mean we will have to address you as Dr. Joni when you are done??

I was driving home tonight and happened on a radio station out of Kent Ohio http://www.wksu.org/ It's an NPR station and the DJ was talking about a show they will be streaming on Sunday morning, a tribute to Joni with performance both by her and by others covering her songs. I believe he said at 10 A.M. right before Prairie Home Companion but I may have misheard. I tried to find something on their site but came up empty. If anyone knows anything about this broadcast, please forward the info to me. Thanks Cassy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 01:05:14 EDT From: Wtking59@cs.com Subject: Re: need joni help Perhaps, Martin. But then again, I believe Joni IS recognized as one of popular music's greatest lyricists. In fact, I'd venture to say that most critic's consider them to be her absolute specialty. And when music magazine's and such conduct their various polls for "all-time best (female?) guitarist," Joni often ranks rather highly (...usually, just behind Bonnie Raitt). However, when it came to playing the piano she (unfortunately) could never compare to the furious, emotional brilliance of the great Laura Nyro.

I don't quite have it but when I was in college studying for tests in music history where we had to listen to music and identify the composer and style, I studied by writing down the visuals that I saw in my mind's eye when I heard a particular piece of music. I had a whole list for classical and jazz music and my method worked fairly well. A former boyfriend who is a songwriter and musician used to tell me that whenever he closed his eyes he saw vivid rainbows of colors and thought that was normal and everyone had that experience. Um, no. Way back in my college days, I took a few physiological psychology courses to see what research had been done connecting the physical senses and creativity. It was in its infancy then but over the years there have been many fascinating discoveries and synesthisia is just one of them.

Just because an aging artist--perhaps, past his or her prime--is no longer filling stadiums (geeez!) doesn't necessarily mean they need to "hang up their spurs" just yet. I mean, as long as they're enjoying themselves and still feel they have something to offer (if not "accomplish") AND a fan base--however modest--continues their support, then why NOT play into your sunset years? They MIGHT just be having a BALL! Besides, some of the greatest musical talents were NEVER enormously popular--arguably, Joni included--and often didn't aspire to be. And, who knows?--maybe they ENJOY playing "little nothing casinos." If you don't wanna see 'em, simply don't buy a ticket. And as far as Joe Cocker is concerned, I'd rather see him ANY day of the week at his absolute worst than I would Tina Turner at her best. If I'm not mistaken, he's gotten some of the best reviews of his life in recent years.

Note to Joe: Dude, it's long past time to STOP. ======================================== Michael in Quebec wrote (of Liza with a Z): She (Liza) seems to be desperately clinging to something that has, sadly, slipped away. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2006 #293 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
