Can you please explain, Bree, your other, more pressing concerns? And why they're more pressing? Seriously curious, Lori Santa Rosa, CA - ------------- I agree, Lori, that if we are really facing a major disaster then this should be our main concern. There is a very controversial environmentalist in Denmark, Bjoern Lomborg, who has upset many people by some of his statements. Some of them seem to be wrong, but some are rather thought-provoking. For instance, he has been looking at the resources spent on reducing CO2 and asked what else that money might be spent on. One option was over-population. Clearly, if there were less humans on this planet there would be less polution and less poverty and less consequential crime and disease. On the whole, though, I can't see how global warming can be a moderate concern. Although I guess I don't live by that...

Here's another repackaged concert. This is Joni's Tokyo concert from her Refuge World Tour from 1983. There are a couple interesting firsts in it for me. As I mentioned before, she performs Marvin Gaye's, "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" segued from "Edith and The Kingpin". Interesting song coupling. The other first for me is her performance of "Cotton Avenue". I have never heard Joni perform that song live before. This is also a double disc and I have again made a CD cover for it. Here is the link for CD1. I will upload CD2 with the artwork tomorrow. Here's the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FGND8WKA Enjoy.

Next milestones: BYT #200 & ACOY #100. (And of course, Dancing Clown #1) As for the '83 tour, she flipped around her setlists quite a bit - I have a bunch of those shows and I don't think any of them have the exact same setlists. BUT she always encored with "Grapevine" no matter what.

So many places and links to go to, so little time......flip city! And speaking of other lists, I saw a friend Saturday night at our god-daughter's Nutcracker performance and asked him: "Where is Donna?" (his g/f). He said: "In Phoenix at Alice Cooper's birthday party." (She has ACOCD and is on his list.). Anyway, the interesting part for me is that he said Stephen Stills is at the b/day party, too. Okay, now I'm really late for work -- yet another J-RA. Will you guys stop posting so much riveting stuff?

I noticed Herbie Hancock was on piano on that clip. I had an opportunity to talk with him at the last recording academy function I was at in Seattle last year and he is a very gracious and kind man to have a conversation with. I want to mention here that I enjoy reading the daily digest, especially when it sticks to subject matter, regarding Joni and other music topics.

I'll share my Youtube secret: 1. Pull up the YouTube homepage: http://www.youtube.com/ 2. In the upper right hand corner is YouTube's search engine - type in "Joni Mitchell". 3. After the page loads, click on the link on the left hand side that says 'Date Added' - when this page loads it will show you the most recently added videos first. 4. Bookmark this page as a favorite, and then all you have to do is click on the bookmark every day to display the newest Joni-related videos. (Today is the video for Steven Curtis Chapman singing The Circle Game). And if you don't want to do any of that - not to worry. I'll still post clips from time to time, sometimes it makes a good conversation topic.

These are things that individual people can do; we don't have to rely on corporations or the government to lead the way." ****** Here's something else individual people can do: sign the petition embedded in this message I just received from Al Gore. We can tell the government what *we* want them to do. Kind of like in a democracy. You've got to shake your fists at global warming now! Love, Patti P. NPIMH: Power to the people! Here's the message: "I want to thank you for being a part of the See the Truth movie parties this past Saturday and for helping make them such a huge success. Tens of thousands of us came together to start mobilizing to take on the climate crisis. I know from personal experience that the only thing which will move Washington to action is the sight of millions of people coming together and pushing for changeand we can't afford to wait any longer. That's why I'm asking you to sign this online petition to your representative, demanding immediate action to stop global warming. If you sign it, I'll personally deliver your comments to Congress in the new year. Just click below: http://pol.moveon.org/climatecrisis/?id=9633-1448109-jCtYzZRgAmQ0GHX7xOu0WQ&t=2 After you've signed on, please take a moment to pass this on to your friends and family and ask them to sign on. We've bought the DVD, seen the movie and spread the word about global warming. Now we have to organize to stop it. I'm ready to push for real solutions, but I need your help. MoveOn members have been an incredible force for good in the last few years, and you should be very proud of what you've accomplished. The challenges we face are enormous, and we know that we can't trust Washington to do the right thing without intense pressure from good folks around the country. But you've shown everyone that political will truly is a renewable resource. I look forward to working together.

It made me think of Our Lady of Duality: Through a Gate of Trees Poems Susan Jackson, Molly Peacock, fwd. The all encompassing theme in this debut collection is how a person holds the tension of opposites darkness to light, from loss to reconciliation and redemption. In the middle of life with both feet on the ground, the poet wrestles with the realization that the ground is never stable and that life changes in a split second. The reader is led through two worlds, the geographic onefrom Egypt to Malaysia from India to Cape Cod, and the inner oneentered by celebratory, riveting and dangerous poems as they move through sex, love, birth, and death. JMOCD word association attack! Is it just me, or is there a lot of Joni in that paragraph? gate: garden gate trees: tree museum darkness to light: shadows and light in the middle of life: carole, we're middle-class, we're middle-aged two worlds: from both sides now sex: sex kills love: love is precious, a repititious danger, so sweet, and you know.... birth and death: death and birth and death and birth (More info on the book is here for anyone with interest or time on their hands: http://www.upne.com/1-933880-02-3.html ) Love, Patti P. _________________________________________________________________ Get FREE Web site and company branded e-mail from Microsoft Office Live http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 23:08:19 +0200 From: "ron" Subject: youtube guitarist njc hi im curious to know what people might think of this guitarist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIzuSi3dEqI&mode=related&search= ron ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:17:32 -0500 From: Jerry Notaro Subject: Re: youtube guitarist njc A bit gimmicky for me.

Bob, I didn't think of this this morning, but it is hard to understand that anyone would go from that to Travelogue. Does the lady like her icy altitudes...? This may come across as a bit incoherent, but in one of the interveiws that were discussed here recently she spoke about how jazzmusicians knew something about music and colours that rockers just didn't get. I'm not sure what she meant but clearly she connects with jazz musicians, that is obvious from the videos. There is so much going on between them. I think that connection is mostly lost on Travelogue... It's her and an orchestra, not her in an orchestra, somehow. How strange. Btw, concerning the name Bob: Mark sent me an internet-translated email, in Danish, this morning. Bob Dylan was translated into Hoppe Dylan... I never thought of this before: that bob could mean to hop or bounce. What a dynamic name you have there!

Tell The Wind by Patti Witten I think I'm still a member of this list although absent for quite a while. I felt compelled to write because I want to plug some great new music for your giving pleasure. I was fortunate enough to attend the CD party for the debut of Patti Witten's new CD "Tell The Wind" a while back. Patti was playing with the band and had a full audience of Ithaca eclectics. I was familiar with the song list because Patti played some of her songs to me personally over the summer when I was having a sad day. What a great gift and suddenly I was not sad anymore. So when I think about the songs on this new album I think of an internal version of rock anthems. My personal definition of a rock anthem is 1) the sound of the four horsemen of the apocalypse (bass or hard rock guitar lead) 2) fist shaking lyrics 3) a bridge with a Valkyrie chorus 4) transcendent finale. You can immediately think of at least one: usually a Bruce Springsteen or Heart song. But what is an internal rock anthem? It's not an UN-anthem because you still get the heart going and feel the lift of spirit. It's an intimate conversation with the artist about this fantasy landscape in our minds that tells a story of our dreams and disappointments (think Joni) without any sappy sentiment but a transcendent push to a new journey. I especially love my favorite internal rock anthem on Tell the Wind "Perfect Blue." The guitar lead cantors in and the fist pounds the heart while your eyes close softly in the moonlight. harmonics ... bring in the bridge to the truth of the matter ... perfect blue ... transcendent hope. I like this type of rock anthem much better than "badlands." Although there is always a time and a place to sing at the top of your lungs. I rather like to listen quietly to everything that is going on inside and outside the lines of an internal rock anthem (think Hejira). And Dandelion. What a great cover! Patti and the band did a wonderful version of this song at the CD party. It retains the psychedelia by the layered craftwork of Patti's mix of sounds and harmonies. This disc is a great work of production as are all of Patti's previous albums. If you are looking for another excuse to put in the buds and get transcendent, why not get two, one for you and one for your transcendent pen pal! :-) Go get Tell The Wind at http://www.pattiwitten.com or you can also download the discs on ITunes. Have a wonderful holiday and hope you get all the great music you deserve!! suemc favorite lyric on Tell The Wind ... "if you can call this talking ..." on Almost Just As Good - -- ____________________ /____________________\ ||-------------------|| || Sue McNamara || || sem8@cornell.edu || ||___________________|| || O etch-a-sketch O || \___________________/ "It's all a dream she has awake" - Joni Mitchell ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 22:42:37 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: digital recording device, njc - --- Michael Paz wrote: > Mini disc players have a compression scheme in them > that compress the > sound and does not give you that great of a > recording altho they are > clean.

The computer will need replacing, probably soon. I may go Mac this time ;-) Catherine Toronto - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I really appreciate the input. It helped a lot. I found a digital recorder similar to what Randy recommended except larger. It has 8 tracks, it's own 40 GB of internal memory, and is called a desktop studio. It can hook up to the USB port of a computer. It says it is "simple enough for all musicians" so hopefully he will be able to figure it out. Coincidentially Catherine, I just got a Mac about a month ago and am very pleased with it. I've always had PC's in the past so I'm still in the learning curve phase with the Mac.

But the big projrct les dreamed up was a searchable database that even had the 97 archives on it. Many of us especially cassie and les slaved long and hard on this project. i too could have sworn that it was a link on the new jmdl, but when i clicked on it it took me into coldfusion where they want to hook me into adobe...and it still doesn't give up the archives. then i googles jmdl archives and again got that coldfusion error administrator message. any help would be appreciated. les pete said to ask you if you're using a mac or a pc and does it matter? lesli up in cold windy but breath-takingly clear topanga ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2006 #484 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
