The harmonic rules of post-jazz music are not the harmonic rules of the 18th century. A lot of music of the last 50 years uses harmonic movement that would have been alien to Bach and his contemporaries, the era when the original rules were drawn up, and Joni is no exception, if that is any grand claim at all. Of course, she did indeed break the very constricting "rules" of " 60's folk-singer guitar playing" and paved the way for others to do the same. Mostly she employs unresolved suspensions and a few clusters that the alt tunings provide but that is hardly ground breaking, merely surprising for a self taught musician to seek out. As for chord naming, the majority of Joni's chords are very straightforward and nameable (whether they require an alternate guitar tuning or not). The ONLY exception I can think of is the middle portion of Paprika Plains where the chords are indeed pretty hard to name. Just my 2c on this thread.

You're right, Jim, the vocals hold the same notes (with a little slide on each one), while the guitars and bass repeat a three note up/down pattern over the triplets. I let the CD play, and when I heard "A Hard Day's Night", realized I had misheard a lyric all these 43 years.

This is legit -- a friend from Stanford is doing this project: We're all frustrated by the idea that as the health of the planet spirals downward, we have to sit and wait to see if business and government will do anything about it. And will they will do enough and fast enough? Well, what if we didn't have to wait? And further what if we believe this: individuals matter. Since the problem afflicts us all-and all of our children-the conclusion is obvious. Let's lead this one ourselves. So here's our idea: Use the power of the internet to reach out to individuals in every country and to rally them around the idea of embracing the changes needed to heal the planet. Together let's build a ribbon on the internet that's long enough to wrap around the entire earth-a gesture that's big enough, and crazy enough, that there's a chance it just might work. We each create a panel 6" (15 cm.) square made of a photo or drawing of what we love most about this planet, a statement of why we love it, and at least one thing we can to do to help the planet's health. You can do it in as little as three minutes and it's fun and easy. Our manifesto: Individuals, waiting for no one's else's leadership, standing up for what they believe, can change the world. Hence it's called PlanetFesto. Author Wendall Berry said "What we do not love, we will not save." Why participate? Well, we'll literally never make it without you. With each panel 6"/15cm, it will take 262, 965,120 of us. A totally insane number (but that's what we like about it.) How you join. http://www.planetfesto.org Please help us start in a big way on Valentine's Day and tell your friends about it too. It takes less than three minutes to make and post a panel. We have photos you can use if you haven't got one. Everyone participating on Day One will have a permanent #1 on the corner of their piece of the ribbon. To show you were among those who started it. Our promises: We will never ask you for money, share your name with other groups, try to sell you anything. This is a grassroots movement with no other agenda than to improve the quality of our life on Earth. But we do ask you for one more thing: your help in getting others involved. Everywhere. Soccer teams, bike clubs, places of worship, businesses, schools, blogs, MySpace postings. Anybody who wants to stand up and say they love this planet and want it to thrive. Who we are: We are just two people, and some friends, in the Western U.S. who think we have an idea. We're convinced about that enough that we've spent the last 10 months putting it together. But without your help, it'll turn out we really don't have an idea at all. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 16:17:31 EST From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: Toppermost of the poppermost, top 3 Well I noticed from the deserted island question (and from the jmdl album poll site) that Hejira seems to be a lot of peoples' favourite Joni album.

Though I've been listening to HOSL lately since it's been under discussion. My reasons are personal as well as musical. Blue came out when I was 16, and "River" in particular spoke to my troubled self then. I taught myself to play it on the piano shortly after hearing it, but I could barely get through it dry-eyed. My first love broke up with me the first time we listened to For the Roses (I was 17) and strangely enough the album consoled me after that for a long time. Hejira came out when I was 21--a senior in college--and its restlessness appealed to me as I was contemplating settling down. Less personal--I think each album was musically and lyrically adventurous but also transitional in her career. Nothing on LOTC prepared one for the intensity and raw energy of Blue, the slightly more elaborate instrumentation of FTR, along with its being less directly confessional than Blue, but still dark in its vision, preceded but is preferable to Court and Spark. I still don't much care for that album as a whole; though there are striking songs on it, there are songs I couldn't and still can't stand on it, namely "Help Me" and "Raised on Robbery" and "Twisted" bugged me too. Hejira seemed a real change from the C&S-HOSL-Miles of Aisles period, which really wasn't my favorite (with HOSL being the truly great lp among the three) and of course Hejira had great musicians--a wonderful antidote to the annoying pop-jazz stylings of Tom Scott & Co. But again personally Hejira was the kind of album I'd listen to in the dark on headphones letting the music wash over me. So I'd say my reasons are mainly soundtrack of my life kinds of reasons. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Motitan@aol.com Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 4:18 PM To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Toppermost of the poppermost, top 3 Well I noticed from the deserted island question (and from the jmdl album poll site) that Hejira seems to be a lot of peoples' favourite Joni album.

Thanks for the compliments, Bree. You know, I didn't hear Hillary speak yesterday, so I can't really comment on her Southern accent. Is there a webcast or something available? Something to consider is that, although she was born and raised in Illinois, Hillary lived in Arkansas for a very long time and may have acquired a Southern accent while living there. So maybe her "sudden found" accent is simply "sudden recalled." I will say this much about "sudden found" Southern accents in general: I've been known to speak with a Southern accent when hanging out with friends from the South. I speak with what amounts to a Canadian Prairie accent when I visit North Dakota every couple of years. It's a function of being an "accent sponge," I guess. Lots of people do this, although it often seems to affect people who have traveled extensively more than it does others. (Of those of us who've spent time in the military, it's been said we have a "military" accent.") None of what I've written is about defending Hillary, however. I'm on record as saying that I wish she wouldn't run, that I think her candidacy will do more harm to the Dems than it will do good. That said, if it shakes out that she does win the primary ... > I'm going to make one prediction...but "befoe" I do...if I'm wrong ..I will send > you and Mary a gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice ...okay....IF > Hillary does not win her parties primary...she and Bill are history.

At this point, I'm not impressed by any candidate from any party.

Note: Of all the things on my hate-list, number one is lists - hence I have not numbered them! Looking at the list I can see my Irish/Celtic roots are in evidence in every selection, even Joni - I think it is the storytelling. Of course, man does not live on Rock, Folk, Pop alone. Top of my playlist at the moment is someone who (and I never thought I would say this) matches Joni in lyrics, poetry, intelligence and musicianship,namely, Richard Wagner. I just cannot get enough of "Tristan und Isolde" - all 3.5 hours of it. Like Joni he makes full use of language, including the spaces, breathes, pauses, like the way he turns: "Nicht hornershall tont so hold die Quelle sanft riseinde Welle rauscht so wonnig daher" into something truly beautiful is astonishing, in the same way Joni breathes new meaning and pathos into common phrases, "the walking green" (Real Good For Free) and "georgeous" (Richard - Blue). Similarly I could not live with Maria Callas (say, Madama Butterfly) or Jussi Bjorling (e.g., Turandot - move over Pavarotti and make way for the king!).

These songs really evoke. HOSL - what can I say another one off! Joni's voice and lyrics dance together with the music in an inseparable rhythm. No one else but Joni could have made this album, though of course I'm stating the obvious. MOI - still the best live album I've heard. Joni had really mastered performing live by this stage and it shows. There is a real sense that she enjoys playing these songs too.

It was very edited indeed. Not a note about the French songs or the French singers inducted. You'd think it was an entirely anglo event, when in fact, it was very bilingual. They even cut out James Taylor's tribute to Joni in French. Not at all happy about that. They also replaced the Chaka segment where she performed Help Me. Those naughty folks rerecorded the entire song for TV, using a band, back up vocals and even Herbie Hancock at the piano. They replaced Chaka by Ms Divine Brown, who does a fine job. Looks like there was a general concensus (and conspiracy) about Chakas' less than stellar performance ! The sh*t's gonna hit the fan ! When all is done, the Joni moments are few and brief, but sweet. Hancock's short speech is very moving, and Joni was close to tears when he highlighted her work on Mingus. Brian, I have one copy of it on DVD, in case you don't get any other offers.

She thought it was a very powerful and extremely moving song and wants the lyrics. She asked me if it is a song composed in the Philippines. I googled the song and came up with entries of Liza Minnelli and Fred Ebb. Anyone heard of this song before? More importantly, do you have the lyrics? Much appreciated.
