I guess I'm just not THAT interested in gossip about celebrities, or, not interested in hearing about the same ones all the time. I'd rather gossip about people that I know ;-) but I prefer to stay away from the mean stuff, because it makes me feel... mean - and I don't need any encouragement there! Maybe if I were 16 and knew who half of the people are that are gossiped about (but, you would need to have been on a desert island for 20 yrs not to have heard of Brittney and Paris), then I might be interested. But, I remember enough of myself at 16 (some of my brain cells still remember), I wasn't interested then either. but, as Mr Murphy delights in reminding us all from time to time, I left 16 behind long ago!

I've checked Marian's guitar pages http://www.jmdl.com/guitar/marian/guitar.htm and there's a load of JB songs there, but not this one. I could work it out on my own, but I'm lazy as hell and would prefer to be spoonfed. BTW (whoa. acronym.) anyone interested in Joni's tunings and tabs, if you haven't already been steered to Marian's page, or to the Joni tabs on jmdl.com, go to the url above, or this one: http://jmdl.com/guitar/ There doesn't exist, in my opinion and from anything I've checked out, a more comprehensive and just feckin' awesome collection of tabs for things Joni (and others as well) than Marian's pages. Of course, the alt tunings will drive you nuts, but that's the price you gots to pay.

Oh. never mind. There's no easily discernible guitar chords on that one. There's bass, keyboard, electric guitar that's kind of backgroundish or counterpointish (don't know what to call it, but it's not a clear case of chords going with the song.) If I'm going to play this, I think I'm either going to have to try to work it out on keyboard or else my own guitar arrangement.

John Cale is Welsh. It's weird how synchronous things can be. My daughter has become quite the fashionista and has decided that Betsey Johnson is her fashion guru right now. We went to the Betsey Johnson store the other night so Sarah could spend a couple of weeks' salary (hers, not mine) on a Betsey dress (!), and there was a binder full of articles on her. Betsey was married to John Cale once upon a time. I remember Betsey Johnson's designs from way back when and how much I liked them too (although I never owned any and nowadays they don't make them big enough, or they don't make me small enough.)

It didn't say whether the music for this was new or old. I'd guess old. They will show it on Bravo? Bravo! Tickets are on sale now and run from $43-85 (Canadian?). Isn't 48 min kind of short for a ballet? Alberta Ballet invites you to witness Dancing Joni & Other Works, a program including one of the greatest ballets of the 20th century, Balanchine's Serenade along side the world premiere of Joni Mitchell & Jean Grand-Mantre's The Fiddle and The Drum, February 8 - 10 at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium and February 16 - 17 at the Northern Jubilee Auditorium. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster by phone or visiting www.ticketmaster.ca. Legendary Canadian artist Joni Mitchell and acclaimed choreographer and artistic director of Alberta Ballet, Jean Grand-Mantre, have come together to collaborate on a unique fusion of dance, art and music, which will premiere in Calgary from February 8 to 10, 2007 and be featured in a one-hour television special. The world premiere of The Fiddle and The Drum, which will speak volumes of Joni Mitchell's life-long concerns about environmental neglect and the warring nature of mankind. "As an artist creating today, quite frankly, I can see no other subject matter that is of more importance now. We need people to awaken to this reality," says Ms. Mitchell. Ms. Mitchell will be in Calgary prior to opening night putting the final touches on the production and will be in attendance at the premiere. The one-hour television special will focus on the unprecedented collaboration between Alberta born Joni Mitchell and choreographer Jean Grand-Mantre, who have become great colleagues in the process. The performance special will be recorded to television in high-definition and produced for CHUM/Bravo by Calgary-based Joe Media Group. The Fiddle and The Drum, a semi-abstract narrative ballet danced in neo-classical style, will be performed to an hour of Mitchell's compelling music and her latest artwork, which will be projected on three large canvass screens behind the dancers throughout the ballet. Alberta Ballet's 26 athletic dancers will merge - through powerful and sensual movements - with Joni Mitchell's eclectic sound and visual art and create a contemporary fusion of art forms that will awaken and stir the soul. "The creative process for The Fiddle and The Drum has renewed my faith in my relationship between art and life. Ms. Mitchell's selfless and gentle participation will most likely be the highlight of my entire career," says Jean Grand- Mantre. For more information about Dancing Joni & Other Works please visit www.albertaballet.com Imagine the power and the beauty when two accomplished artists come together and create a unique, contemporary tableau of dance, art and music. Legendary Canadian artist Joni Mitchell and internationally acclaimed choreographer Jean Grand-Maitre have come together to collaborate on a special ballet that will speak volumes of Joni Mitchell's life-long concerns about environmental neglect and the warring nature of mankind. This semi-abstract narrative ballet danced in neo-classical style will be performed to 47 minutes of Mitchell's provocative music. The dynamic stage fully designed by Mitchell will also include the first release of Mitchell's latest artwork, which will be projected on large canvass screens during the ballet. Alberta Ballet's 26 athletic dancers will merge - through energetic and sensual movements - with Joni Mitchell's eclectic sound and visual art, and create a contemporary tableau that will awaken and stir the soul. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 20:39:49 +0000 From: Garret Subject: Re: John Cale njc Hi Norma Jean, Not sure who is from Tulsa ( i have some friends there) but John Cale is Welsh.

Too busy downloading (legal ) music I guess. Just wanted to submit the idea of a Euro Jonifest every other year. I think that it would make it easier on everybody's budget if they didn't have to cross the Atlantic every year, and thus promote exchange and meeting among jmdlers who would otherwise not come. If needed, Jean Yves will be glad to welcome it again in France. Or there were other offers from Italy. Also, I asked Les why there is no mention of the french jonifest 2005 in the jonifest section? Les replied that "Only because no one took the time to consolidate the information. I'd be happy to feature it there if it can get collected together!" Not sure what it entails, since most pix are on Chris Marshall's site already. Can anybody help please? Finally, I took my 13 year old daughter Lea to see Robben Ford and Larry Carlton unplugged at the New Morning Club in Paris. Of course everybody knows that both guitarists recorded with Joni. Lea loved it and now she's asking for more live gigs. So we're off to see John Martyn play Solid Air at the Roundhouse in London in 2 weeks; if anybody is free for tea on feb 3&4th?

I was able to plea-bargain it down to a lesser charge (i.e. instead of being charged with being 30 km over the limit, it was 10 instead, but I had an excuse - I was trying to get my daughter home from a minor surgery she had just had done, and they were nabbing people going down a hill, and you accelerate going downhill without even trying.) Maybe all those other times I was speeding, I was just lucky that I didn't get caught. I was only ever in one accident and I was hit from behind by someone who wasn't paying attention to the fact that the guy in front of me suddenly decided to slam on the brakes and therefore so did I, so... not my fault. Still, maybe it's a good thing I no longer own a car or the horoscope police would be after me for the sin of being an Aries! - --- Motitan@aol.com wrote: > Weird, two aries who I know are the worst drivers > ----------------------- > That's funny that Aries people are the worst drivers > supposedly and there is > some evidence to that.

Was sad because there were a lot of great shows there. From the chronology on the website, it seems Joni played there twice - once on 11/13/75 and another on 2/23/76 Per chance, anyone on the list go to any of these shows ? Would like to hear any stories. - - Jeff Zink

That whole side (2, was it?) is brilliant, although when I listened to Dreamland again it contains one of the few really dated cultural references in all Jonidom but which is still strangely relevant : "and Muslims stick up Washington", which refers to an incident almost no one remembers. (Sort of like the 42 or so dead when terrorists blew up Franuces Tavern in 1977 or so - there are no plaques outside the restaurant that I've seen.) It's not that the music wasn't accessible (like DED, which I am now only warming up to), but the lyrics didn't speak to me in the same way (although I certainly got "pissed a tequila anaconda the length of a parking lot.") I do think Hejira is my favorite, although Blue is a close second, then FTR and probably HOSL. I remember going to the record store every day for two weeks until that Hejira came out. It was right before Christmas. I was dating this girl and we listened to Blue Hotel Room over and over again. I think Refuge of the Roads is achingly beautiful. I do think someone should mention Chalk Circle in the Rain and Night Ride Home. I think those are great albums too. Dancing Clown is one of her funniest. Anyway, ta ta.

Now I'm not a big fan of the Band (like a couple songs only--I mean they don't make me cringe or anything but I just haven't gotten into them ever....though I will say Robbie Robertson has a lot of stage presence and charisma) but I had to see it for Joni, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, and Ringo Starr. I really like the song Coyote by the way after seeing the performance. Oh man on a sidenote, man was Neil strung out for this concert...although as high as he is he's still the one having the most fun! Neil, what's so funny man? Huh? Anyway, what are your opinions on Joni's performance in this? - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 02:24:18 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: a Joni mention, and a cover Reading the news tonight, and it sure looks bad, but I perked up when I saw this little article in the Hartford Courant: Young Professionals In Hartford Bean Scene: Emely Anne Burns Here's the Joni part: "My favorite artist is Joni Mitchell. She's always been a major influence of mine. She writes such beautiful music. The lyrics are very thoughtful and just beautiful." Can't argue with her! The whole article is here: http://www.courant.com/features/lifestyle/hc-nujavabeanscene1022.artjan22,0,2282589.story I'll have to check her out. She just released her first CD, called "Covers", and sure enough, she has a Joni one. All I Want. Tell me you don't have this one, Covers King!

My ranch house on a hill is on Briarcliff Road! And did anyone mention the Champs Elysees? Or the red dirt road in Spain? Or the road to Baljennie? Along these (black road double yellow) lines, I recently got an email from a friend, one of those "I'd like to get to know you" emails, where you're supposed to list your favorite fruits and stuff, and one of the questions was: "List five addresses where you have lived." Does anyone remember all of their addresses? That got me to thinking of all my past addresses...."in my life, I've loved them all", but my two best Joni addresses were: 5, rue Tournefort (Sitting in a park in) PARIS, FRANCE (1974, when Joni had two albums come out -- C&S and MOA. Free Man in Paris was *constantly* playing in my head that year.) and 5232 University Drive Santa Barbara, (oh but) CALIFORNIA (1967, Summer of Love) (Hi Kate!)

There is always next year. I'm still recovering from Paz week - ha! As usual, hanging with the Paz man was endless fun and adventure. We hit the NAMM show and it seemed more packed then ever. Music overload - what bliss. My favorite episode was seeing Freebo and Jim Photoglo at our Steve Dulson's Living Tradition concert. Ahhhhhh.... Those two are touring mostly in California (Northern) these days and what a perfect gorgeous combo. Randy, Darice and NorCal people - check it out. I remember Photoglo when he was a local singer songwriter here back in the 70s and he hung with some of my fave local musicians. Now he has been in Nashville for 20 years and has written songs for everyone in every genre. Paul Williams - yes that Paul Williams - was in the audience to see them. He has co-written a number of songs with Jim. Also saw Lisa Haley and the Zydecats and Chuck Alvarez who plays sometimes with Barnaby Finch, who plays sometimes with our own Dave Blackburn. And an old music friend recently phoned me to tell me all about this great Joni Tribute band in San Diego which turned out to be Blackburn, et al. It is a small and wonderful music world. Thanks to Paz for another great time.

Don Juan to me is like her breaking out of a particularly hard shell chrysalis - the millions pieces fly in all directions. It is nuts and it is also off the chart brilliant. I embraced Hejira like all the others (I also followed her from the beginning with STAS at age 14) but part of me did not love it like what had come before. I don't find comfort in melancholy and felt she had gone through some sad, bad times. That doesn''t take away from the brilliance of the lyrics and all, but Hejira to me is depressing because of the feeling I got that she had been through some hard earned changes. The lyrics on Hejira are undeniably some of her most brilliant. But Don Juan - it is like she is breaking out and moving forward and while scattered and reckless - there is passion again. Scorpionic in parts - yes! Perfect observation. But there is something there where she reaches way out of this world and if you have the patience to keep listening you will hear.
