I simply wanted to say that if there are any Joni fans in or near Krakow, Poland let me know and I would love (dare I say: "obliged" and "honored" to share some of my Joni recordings with you. You can reach me through my website. BTW, can't wait to hear Joni's new album as I've recently been saturating myself with The Beginning of Survival. As much as Joni's 80s work rubs me in a wrong way - when put in the context of this concept album all my muscles relax and clarity and vision shines through the 80s production veneer. I am now finding myself having to admit that I must go back and wade through WTRF and DED...CMIARS never really bothered me that much.

Despite being a Joni fan for years, and even playing a lot of her stuff on guitar, I have managed to miss certain gems. One was Amelia (doh!), which I only spotted as it was so high up in the best song poll. Of course I now love it. While trying to download it from the web, my first attempt got a live version, which is very acoustic, and my favourite one. Unfortunately it cut out before the end, and I have never managed to find it again. It is not the live version from "Shadows & Light". There are two female voices singing in places. Does anyone know where this recording comes from, and where I could get a complete copy? Yours hopefully, Liam - --------------------------------- New Yahoo!

For me, Paprika Plains, Down to You and Let the Wind Carry Me would work well; I'd especially like to see choreography to the instrumental break preceeding the final verse in LTWCM --it has so many "sweeping" moments that I think a choreographer would be inspired!

Timely post as the list seems to be kicking back and having a look at the albums you are writing about. I am in agreement, Chalk Mark is one that I have no problems with. I love that Willy sings with Joni, as well as Michael McDonald. as for Wild Things, I havent heard it in a while but will get back to you if I have any grand insights to offer :-) .. one thing I have noticed though, there's not much talk about Dog Eat Dog now. Hmmm , I wonder why? ahem. I'm a huge fan of Paprika plains...beautiful work. Miss it, dont have it at the moment. Some of my Joni collection has disappeared, ah but for a good cause....Im sending my entire collection to my daughter, bit by bit, and with it, I'm writing a missive as to when I got into it, why, and loads about what the list has taught me. I often refer to the list as the university of Joni, and have called it such in discussions with friends. Raised eyebrows and lots of questions after the fact. Like a beautiful perfume, Joni permeates the atmosphere. . A wonderful old photo of Joni is in the green room at work. Actually, it's a brown room, but still. And it's my privilege to educate everyone who walks through the door all about Joni. anyway, Julian, I do remember your name but am not sure..were you always in Poland? when I hear of Poland, I cannot help but think of Gorecki's Symphony and the settings, meanings behind it. Haunting and beautiful. Mags, from what is affectionately known as Winterpeg, wondering why a it's called a green room anyway?

I remember reading in MIX magazine's Classic Tracks column about the making of "Paprika Plains" and how it was glued together rather awkwardly from different originally unrelated pieces, and now listening to it in the light of that fact can hear the radical mismatches of level between sections. This was one of the things I set out to fix. I also found some of the acoustic guitars scratchy and piercing and the voice marginalized in the mix. So I present to members of the list my remastered DJRD, I believe greatly enhanced sonically. Initially, I am making it available in high bitrate AAC/ipod format for download from a Yousendit link. Please email me offlist to request the link; you must affirm in your email that you are already the owner of the album on CD or vinyl so there is no royalty dodge on Joni's behalf. cheers ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 11:17:27 -0800 (PST) From: Norma Jean Garza Subject: Re: Joni singing like Joplin Victor, Are you male or female?

As Joni tells the story, when they were kids Sharon wanted to be a singer and Joni wanted a stable life with family, home and all that. Obviously circumstances turned out that they both ended up taking on the other's dream. (Sharon, you've got a husband and a family and a farm...) There are some other references in the song to other things, but the song is named for Sharon Bell...matter of fact, Joni has even introduced in as "Song For Sharon Bell" several times when she performs it live. As an interesting footnote - Sharon Bell became Sharon Veer in her married life, and did get to record an album, performing a cover of Joni's "Both Sides Now" on it. Hope that helps.

I got nosy about the Bohemian Embassy itself, since it's a name I had heard but didn't know a great deal about. A google search picked up many references to the condo being built (Toronto is apparently the current capital city of condo building). Many of the articles are negative, and the condo's own website is one of those annoying ones I see too many of lately, that open up with a flash media splash page with cutesy pictures on it and some even more annoying music trying to present the project as something chic and trendy, but telling you nothing about the project. In addition, though, I found this on the CBC archives, featuring Don Cullen, the author of the article printed below - a happening that reminded me of Sugarpants doing the beat version of "Don't interrupt the sorrow" in other words at Jonifest a few years back and made me smile: http://archives.cbc.ca/IDCC-1-69-1587-3080/life_society/60s/ Don't it always seem to go They razed paradise and put up a condo tower Here's the link to the Boho Embassy article, with the article itself copied below: http://www.thestar.com/article/173256 - --------------------------------------------- Bohemian The Bohemian Embassy was a `60s hot spot, where folkies mingled with poets. Now a condo developer is using the name  and Embassy founder Don Cullen is none too pleased. January 21, 2007 Rumours started to trickle in the early summer of 2006: Someone is using your name. Some company is calling their project "The Bohemian Embassy." At that time, I was quite ill and in and out of hospital. I wasn't even interested in research or follow-up. When I finally felt up to it, I went down to Queen Street to see the property across from the Gladstone Hotel. There was a sign saying "Bohemian Embassy" and a construction shack. There was no one to talk to and no literature available, but clearly someone was trying to "brand" their development with a name that sounded suitably hip. The trouble is, I invented that "brand" and the last thing it represented was culture-free, cookie-cutter condos. But I was committed to go to Vancouver to finish a book about the Bohemian Embassy. It is a book primarily about the literary activities that took place in the four different incarnations of my coffee house. In the first location, from 1960 to 1966, John Robert Colombo and I established a reading series for the literary subculture of Toronto. We were the only game in town. Margaret Atwood gave her first half-dozen readings there. The same for Gwendolyn McEwen. Michael Ondaatje also appeared and a host of others who would soon be contributing to Canada's creative explosion, such as Milton Acorn and Al Purdy and later on, Irving Layton. In the Embassy's third iteration, at Harbourfront, Colombo helped me to get the reading series going  a task I later passed on to Greg Gatenby. It became the Harbourfront Series and Greg started the World Authors Festival, now a cultural institution that has secured Toronto's place on the literary map. It would not have happened without the Bohemian Embassy. When I returned from Vancouver I took a lawyer friend to the condominium location calling itself The Bohemian Embassy. What I saw disturbed me hugely. This time I tracked down the developers and made them an offer in writing. For the use of a name I considered mine, I asked them to pay $1,400 a month for five years, $1,000 of which would go to fostering folk music and the literary sub-culture. I thought I could organize and book two events a week, and keep just $100 a week for my troubles. The developer's lawyers claimed I didn't have a leg to stand on. The condo being built is an enormous complex which will do nothing for the literary sub-culture, nothing for the folk music community, nothing for chamber music, cabaret satirical revues and a host of eclectic artistic activities for which my Bohemian Embassy existed. Ian and Sylvia, Gordie Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Mary Jane and Winston Young, The Travellers, Adam Mitchell with an early edition of the Paupers all appeared there. So did Bob Dylan, Nancy White, Stan Rogers and his brother Garnet, and Stringband all contributed to a flurry of folk music. To this day I am on the Advisory Board of the Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, Ontario, where one venue is called The Bohemian Embassy Stage. A short time ago, the Mariposa Folk Foundation saw fit to invite me, along with Ian and Sylvia, to Hugh's Room, where we were inducted into the Mariposa Hall of Fame. The Bohemian Embassy premiered more than 30 stage productions including David French's first effort. David Freeman practically lived at the Bohemian Embassy prior to having his play Creeps mounted at the Tarragon Theatre. I accompanied David to help negotiate the New York production, where David won the most promising New Playwright Award. Several in the series Village Revue resulted in four writer performers going to the Wayne and Shuster television show. Three became permanent members of the cast. I went to New York and became a part of the Broadway replacement cast of the British Revue Beyond The Fringe, and spent years with Wayne and Shuster. The Bohemian Embassy was a lot of things, launched a lot of careers, but it never had much of anything to do with condos.

Having spent much of yesterday enjoying Mahalia Jackson, in no way did I feel I'd been 'buked! I was up late, doing one of my least favourite things - keeping the books - when I received word about the top guitarists list. And, just the night or so before, I'd been reading an interview of Michele Kort - author of the Laura Nyro bio "Soul Picnic" - in which she noted the glaring ommission of Nyro, Ani DiFranco and other greats from RS's "Women in Rock" issue. So, I was already annoyed with the mag's deaf, dumb and blind spots. And that was 2002 coverage, so, at least I'm now catching up with their 2003 ignorance. And I'm happy now that I won't spend some minutes today writing a letter to the editor. Aye, I'll let Allison know your kind words.

For me, Richard Thompson was the standout of the entire show. He's quirky as hell, and I'd say that his performance was way more out there than his own recent material, but I think the word that sums it up is "compelling".

Every year her albums are nominated for "package design" at the Grammys, almost seems like a slap in the face, as if to say 'forget about the music'. She's definitely one of the sharpest songwriters in the biz. And back to Allison's track - when a cover of a song that ARETHA herself made famous makes the hairs on my neck stand up, and stops me in my tracks, you know that a singer has done something. Of course, credit due to the songwriter(s) - that's a helluva song.

I don't have any secrets. I'm a male, 37, and I go to Georgia State University music school. I've been to 5 or so Jonifests and Pazfest in New Orleans. I'm a songwriter and my website is http:// waytobluemusic.com if you need/want more information. I'm not sure what you're confused about. As far as my pals, there are several people I've met over the years that I would consider good pals like Paz, Kakki, Muller, Murpy, Jody, and too many too name really.

Music taste is subjective, of course, but, there's no denying Ani is, indeed, a righteous babe. I believe you're right - the industry fears Ani and what she represents. On another forum I frequent, someone recently posted some lyrics of hers, (in a discussion about today's pervasive use of Autotune and other effects and tricks - artificializing the singing heard on virtually all commercial releases today). From the song,"Fuel": "People used to make records As in a record of an event The event of people Playing music in a room Now everything is cross-marketing It's about sunglasses and shoes Or guns or drugs You choose" I'm now awaiting in the mail a copy of the thoughtful new book by Hank Bordowitz - with the provocative title: "Dirty Little Secrets of the Record Business: Why So Much Music You Hear Sucks". The Amazon site blurb quotes David Geffen, "If Joni Mitchell were just starting out today,... she'd have trouble getting radio air play." I deal with the business side of music daily, and have come to appreciate how much truth there is in Joni's withering comments about the industry. The "style inventions" that pose as today's artists, and so on... Well, Ani represents the other end of that spectrum. Honesty. With respect to Allison, I came to serve as her manager because of her gifts and talents and personality. I don't praise her because I am her manager - and I don't make money from what I do. I know that 30 or 40 years ago, emerging, genuine, creators - such as Joni - had a place in the music industry mainstream. Not today. So, it's a pleasure and honour to serve such an artist, as I do now, and give what I can to the cause ( : Ad ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 14:25:53 -0800 From: "Allison Crowe Music Mgmt" Subject: Re: NJC Re: Rolling Stone's favourite guitarists And, it is about music ( : Here's the song - I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You) - which has spurred such musing from Bob and myself: http://www.allisoncrowe.com/11TLBINeverLovedAMan.mp3 It's a live recording.
