The rainy season has begun, although it's still sporadic. Mornings can be really cold (with actual frost on the ground and ice on the windows of cars) and/or foggy, but the daytime temps are still in the mid-60s. I still ride my motorcycle to and from work everyday, 44 miles each way, and I intend to continue to ride throughout the winter. (Just got some Gerbing heated gloves (http://www.gerbing.com/heat/glovesg3.html), which should help a lot.)

Actually it was not really about her as much as what she had to say about the late cabaret matriarch Mabel Mercer's version of "Both Sides Now". The book mentioned that in 1991, Joni considered Mercer's BSN version as the best version of all she has heard ever since. Anyone knows where to find this article when Joni said this? Not that I distrust John Gavin (who is one jazz critic I respect along with Gene Lees, Leonard Feather and Bob Blumenthal), but I'd like to read the context behind this official announcement.

They said she joined in New England (which sounds right to me). Simon lists http://www.jonimitchell.com/chronology/ shows Nov 13, 1975 in New Haven CT (2 shows). That's the way the Revue was booked in some cities. Then he has her in Niagara Falls, New York. I saw Joni at the 2nd show of "The Rolling Thunder Revue" at Rochester, New York's War Memorial on Nov 17, 1975. The string of dates ended at "The Night of the Hurricane Madison Square Garden". So, I'm not a betting man, but I'd say she played in 14 cities, in 16 evenings. Jim L.

It has taken me part of last night and most of today but with a lot of help from you guys, I have finally put together the most comprehensive recording of Joni's performances at the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. It has now blown out to a double disc and I have adjusted the CD cover to correspond. This was a real jigsaw puzzle but with the help of people like Richard Flynn, I have nailed down the dates and venues. Obviously, as I have said before, Joni performed several songs in each gig so, many of the songs are repeated. These are, however, different gigs and not the same tracks repeated. Some are even performed back to back for the sake of chronology. I have arranged these by date. There are now six sets. The length is 1:40:00 so, it needs to go on two CDs. I have already divided it up into two CDs. Also, being so long, it was too much to upload in one file so, there are to folders; CD 1 and CD 2. CD 2 also contains the updated cover. For Mona and others who don't want to register on yousendit.com, I have uploaded them onto megaupload.com. I egistered with yousendit.com because it allows you to upload up to 100mb. I have never received any spam from that site so, it seems to be quite safe to me. Here is the tracklist: CD 1 Set One: Boston, MA November 21, 1975 (probably Cambridge) Afternoon 1. Harry's House 2. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow Evening 1. Edith and The Kingpin 2. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow Set Two: Hartford, CT. November 24, 1975 1. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow 2. Edith and The Kingpin Set Three: Augusta, ME. November 26, 1975 1. Edith and The Kingpin 2. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow 3. Coyote (first performance of this song) Set Four: Toronto, ON. December 1, 1975 1. Woman of Heart and Mind 2. Coyote 3. Edith and The Kingpin 4. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow 5. This Land Is Your Land (with Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Roger McGuinn, Bobby Neuwirth and Gordon Lightfoot) Set Five: Toronto, ON. December 2, 1975 1. Woman of Heart and Mind 2. Coyote 3. Edith and The Kingpin 4. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow 5. This Land Is Your Land Set Six: New York, NY. December 8, 1975 1. Shadows and Light 2. Coyote 3. Edith and The Kingpin 4. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow 5. Woman of Heart and Mind Being separate concerts, the quality varies but a lot of it is very good. It's a shame that Joni didn't sing different songs in each concert but that's the nature of a tour. I hope I've got it all straight now.

Last Friday I met with my boss to give my resignation to Pyramid Audio after 13+ years of service. Simply it was just time to move on. For the past several months I have been being courted by Mr. Ben Jaffe of the Preservation Hall. He wanted to hire me to be the Tour Manger for the band doing 200 dates a year around the world. I was so flattered at that alone, but I resisted cause I cannot be away from my boys for that much time a year. Pres Hall is a landmark jazz club at the forefront of preserving New Orleans culture. He also started a fund called New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund (NOMHRF) which is now morphing into a new project called renew orleans Foundation. There are two bands, one stays here and plays the hall (right next door to Pat O'Briens on St. Peter in the Quarter and the touring band). SO, he came up with an alternative offer. Be the Tour Manger with the band and tour as much as I want and hire an asst. to train and go out when I can't or don't want to AND be the Director of the renew orleans Project. I was stunned. Anyone who knows me knows that this is a dream come true for me. The foundation work alone is what I am meant to do to repay New Orleans for all I have received over the years and working with the band on the road and being able to see the world.... Somebody hold me down! Anyways a press release is coming this week which I will post. I will be in NYC from Dec 27-Jan 1 at the Jazz Standard where I will get my sea legs with the band. The family will be coming with me to spend New Years in the big city. Then we start a tour in late January in Alabama very close to a couple of my bitches over der in Birmingham and we are coming to a town near you so come out and see me. I will be on a tour of the UK in July and a date or two in Ireland so heads up Brits!!!!!! Also I will be in LA from January 15-21 finishing up the music for a movie I am working on about Katrina and attending the NAMM show in Anaheim. Hope everyone is doing well and may you have a blessed holiday season. Love to all!
