This is from the Big Sur Fest-has some nice stuff on it, quality not bad (for a bootleg), though probably needs speed correction.

Joni Mitchell and only Joni Mitchell would ever DREAM of setting Kippling's IF to melody. "Yetch." Talk about 'small audience'....! That girl's mind works in ways like nobody else and that's what I love about her. She is forever a surprise flowing against the current. I love her for it. Thematically, the new release sounds a bit like Dog Eats Dog meets Stay in Touch, ya? But I'm selling her short with such a quip. This release sounds like another 'jump.' Visiting her music is akin to visiting a friend's home and finding a new decor every visit. "Oh, I see you've changed things around again... I was sort of fond of those blue curtains." New tunnings(perhaps?). And wasn't there mention of a hint of hip hop? Certainly new melodies and those wonderfully intellectually stimulating words. I hope it's outrageous and difficult. Passionate in expression and layered with sonic surprise. Long, wordy and dense. Like some outrageously rich, haute cuisine dessert. j. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2007 13:40:01 -0800 (PST) From: Susan Guzzi Subject: Re: Sad news Michael - so sorry about your loss - and all the losses that have tugged at your big heart this past year or so.

"Randy's Question: Is "Get Together" a different, solo version? - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Remote" To: "Jill Haas" ; Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 12:12 PM Subject: Re: Can anyone help me identify recordings I found in my Joni Stuff? Hey RR, thanks for the info. I guess all of this stuff has already been transferred to CD, so I'll have to beg someone bring copies to JoniFest. As for your question, the version of "Get Together" is indeed a solo, (although Joni gets the crowd to sing with her on the chorus so enthusiastially that I think it stops qualifying as a solo), but no, it's not the Big Sur version with everyone on stage joining in. Is your name really Randy? Remote? If I believed it for a second I would have started this message with "Hi Randy." But Guitarzan is another story. You're runing a close second to my first band's non-PC name, "The Guitardos." Hell. I was in seventh grade and didn't know any better. It was the seventies. I was a child (but not terrilbly innocent.) I smoked cigarettes. I trespassed into the abandoned horse barns at the Orange County Fairgrounds and created a clubhouse (including a fire hazard disguised as a cinderblock fireplace and lots of candles). I also provided cheap guitars for my three best friends and taught them G maj, A maj and minor and D maj, the only chords I knew. As an optimist, however, I believed that one could play just about any song with these chords. So, using my best sales pitch, I talked these poor unfortunates into joining my about to be famous band, "The Guitardos." I'm sure they're all damaged for life. Forgive, probably more than you wanted to know...

Isn't avoiding that the whole point of living in Bel Air? Talk about coming in from the cold. This project must mean something VERY special. I wish I could take my own ballet star Amelia to see this. Maybe there will be a tour beyond Edmondton. Toronto is worth the drive for me. Got your antenna up, Geffen? Think Vegas, or Broadway.

Castaneda wrote these books about his own personal experiences. I believe he was an Anthropologist from a southern California university and went on an expedition to study these people and their way of life, their beliefs and religious practices. In other words, these things really happened from his perspective. These are the chronicles of what he experienced with them. I didn't know Joni was into these books.

I read most of Castaneda's books about his experiences with Don Juan Matus, and I've always just accepted that they were true. The books were classified as Non-fiction for the longest time; I don't know if they are still classified that way. However, I recall buying one paperback (I can't remember which title, now) and noticing that on the spine it was classified as "Fiction." I wondered at the time if that was an error, or if the publisher or someone had decided the books are works of fiction. Just my 2 cents, Lori, who, thanks to those books, never has ingested peyote because it would be sacriledge without all the ceremony ...

Your kind gesture will save me from having to learn one more software program for which there is no more room in my brain. I think I maxed out with Adobe Illustrator. Thanks also for the links. Since I've joined this list, I've been digging out all kinds of old Joni stuff, all of which I'm sure has been mentioned in the archives, mais, pardonez moi, I am a very lazy girl and will not find the strenght to search through them. Did anyone get to the StarArt exhibit in Laguna Beach, CA? I have only heard about the LA one. I bought the Mingus "Chair in the Sky" poster (just found it, and it appears none the worse for age...). I also finally figured out (by lookind at more memorabilia) that I saw Joni at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in '83, third row center, and almost had a knock-down drag-out girl-fight with the two amateur critics sitting behind me. I was getting the impression that they wanted her to "Paint a Starry Night again, man," rather than playing her new stuff. I think I yelled out something like "Play what you want," and then turned to the women behind me and gave them the best version of "The Snake Eye" I could muster. I barely escaped from getting socked in the jaw. As always, more than anyone really wants to know...

All I ask is that you NOT give me any blanks - not necessary. Oh, and don't give me that 'snake-eye' either. This group has been so amazingly generous with me it's truly a joy to pay it forward. Regarding the Starart show, I'm assuming that coincided with the Starart Book that came out in 1979? As synchronicity would have it, I just got a copy of that book today in the mail, I'm donating it to the Raffle.

I'm more than a little guitarded myself, though the name is from the 60's Ray Stevens song. Great story, though-you little hell raiser! And some people still maintain that the best songs are the 3 chord ones. Louie, Louie was the first pop song I learned, I think, and House of the Rising Sun, but already more than 3 chords there.

It was pretty cool and was over before I knew it. They had a 100 year old Steinway which actually had a really nice feel to it and a nice tone. I only ended up doing one Joni song, Chinese Cafe/Unchained Melody though I'm not sure anyone there recognized the former but that's okay. Did some jazz standards (Autumn Leaves, My Funny Valentine, You Are Too Beautiful, etc...), some Beatles, Georgia on My Mind, old Stevie Wonder (Blame it on the Sun/ Next Time I Fall in Love) and the last song I played was the piano part from the end of Layla which is fun to play because you just want to go on and on and on. Got my picture taken with the Governor and his wife and when he was mentioning me to the assembly of legislators and such, he said as I was studying music at Georgia State but as far as he was concerned, I was already there, that he would give me a diploma, and by the power of the general assembly pronounced me finished with my schooling. So I guess that means I'm off the hook for my quiz tomorrow. I'm officially on their call list now so presumably I'll be able to come back and do it again sometime.

I just finished the book and I'm still a little bit on the "I just don't get it" side - maybe someday it will sink in. But, yeah, Joni was into these books.
