My first was Hejira, purchased on cassette tape in probably March 1977. I was in the Air Force, in radar repair school ("tech school," as we called that part of our AF journey), and I was 18 years old. My first roommate had just moved into a vacant room across the hall and had taken her stereo with her. Needing music, I went to a convenience store version of the Base Exchange (BX, or PX as it's called by some of the other services) and bought a mono speaker cassette player and a few tapes. I bought Hejira because it occurred to me, "Joni Mitchell. I think I've heard of her." Hejira ... disturbed me, in a way, because it was so unlike anything I'd listen to before. It also fascinated me. I listened to it again and again, partly because it was one of two or three tapes I had. Today, though, I can't remember what those other tapes were! Hejira just kind of took hold of me. 30 years later, it remains my favorite album by anyone, ever. There's more to the story, but that's a start.

Of course that wasn't the point of the movie, but yeah, naturally the successful service was measured that way.

I've told my story several times so I'll be brief. My first Joni album was the Australia only release, "The World of Joni Mitchell". A good compilation of the best songs from her first 4 albums. I latched onto songs like Blue and Song To a Seagull. It accompanied me on my hitchhiking journeys, first through the Australian desert and then to Canada where, I tried to find Joni's first album which was not available at the time in Australia. I found STAS in a little store in Vancouver and carried it in my backpack all through North America and pulled it out to play whenever I visited someone who was remotely interested. I even had it in my backpack up in Whitehorse where it was - -40. That's my story.

My first two albums were Songs to a seagull and Clouds. I don't remember which one I listened to first, only that I listened to both every day. The year was 1970 and I was in England, working as an au-pair (a kind of mother's help. This was, still is, a popular way for European girls to spend some time abroad). I was 20 years old and my eyes were "full of moon". I shared a room with another girl, and the albums were hers, she played them to me. When I first heard Joni sing, I was mesmerized. I couldn't get enough, and the lyrics fascinated me, too. Later I bought every album when it was released until the mid-80's when I lost sight of her and my interest in popular music had to give way for nursery rhymes and research studies. I only rediscovered Joni some months ago, I have completed my collection with cd's up to Turbulent Indigo and I am as fascinated as ever.

The first Joni album I HEARD was C&S. The first one that I bought and owned was Hejira. I didn't hear STAS & MOA until I joined this group in 1998. I didn't hear Blue until sometime into the late 80's. After Hejira I picked up every one that came out except for Mingus which I got on cassette as a gift later, and kicked myself that I had been scared off by the reviews and had denied myself the pleasures of it. Thanks to Lisa who looked through my macho record collection and informed me that I didn't have enough female vocalists in there. She loaned me her copy of Hejira and like Lori, it was 180 degrees from anything else I had but I was mesmerized by it. Thirty-plus years later, I still am. Then again, I was pretty mesmerized by Lisa as well Bob NP: Seal, "Colour" - --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo!

Monika with questions of a thousand Joni dreams asked: "So what was the first Joni album you got? What did you think about it? What impression did you get?" Joni Mitchell: Song to a Seagull March, 1968. I was fourteen. I guess I kinda liked it. I guess it sort of struck a chord with me. (Play that warm chord, play it Joni, over and over and over again, my friend.) I guess it changed my life.

The first song I remember my mother singing was "Mairzy Doats" (Mares eat oats). When I was about 5 or 6, Doris Day's "Que Sera Sera" was very popular and since we didn't have a TV, only radio, I'd dance with my mother around the living room while my sisters were in school. My first Joni record was "Song to a Seagull" which I purchased in 1969 and drove my mother crazy she listened to it over and over along with me. I followed this with Ladies of the Canyon in 1970 and everything she did as it came out ever after. The one exception was "Clouds" which took me years to buy and I hardly ever listened to it; I still don't. Sacriliedge I know.

I did not discover Joni until 1990. Sure I read about her in magazines, books, etc but it is always as an influence to others. Reading those accounts gave this mantle of Joni being ancient. That changed when our seminar coordinator from Cyprus in 1990 talked about the female vocalists he liked. Then he added "But no one can approximate Joni Mitchell." Having already been impressed by his list of favorites, I bought what was available in the record stores (still called record store rather than music store) in Manila -- Night Ride Home. From the get-go the chirping of crickets, the nocturnal sounds of insects providing back-up vocals to Joni appealed to me. I have loved that album since. Then I got "Blue" which remains my first love even if HOSL became my ultimate favorite. Joseph in rainy Chapel Hill np: Enrico Caruso - Celeste Aida P.S.

I had the opportunity to play Chuck's Thompson guitar (luthier made from Canada) and it is such a beautiful instrument..it was hard to put it down. We were also treated to a performance by Chuck on his dulcimer, another beautiful instrument with a really ornate dragon's head (which anyone at jonifest was treated to as well.) And we each played some on the piano. I love the voicings that Chuck uses. Maggie, Jody, and I took a walk along the river which was also beautiful. We were talking a lot about New Orleans and a benefit concert Maggie had put together. At one moment, we stopped and I played "Sailing to New Orleans" to commemorate the 7 year anniversary of Pazfest. I wrote StNO on Memorial Day weekend exactly one year after Pazfest. Later we enjoyed some Thai food and then made the trip back to Portsmouth, but not before I accidentally pressed the alarm button on the Jody's keychain, setting off a minute of continuous horn beeping which I'm sure the neighbors totally appreciated...sorry Chuck :) But I can't express enough my thanks for such a wonderful afternoon. It is certainly on equal footing with seeing the Red Sox play at Fenway Park and catching the Boston Pops in Symphony Hall. Victor NP: Indigo Girls "River", "Strange Fire" ps.

Old time JMDLers have heard this story enough times that I must be certified Coot of the list, telling my boring stories over and over... My first album was Clouds, which I bought on July 19, 1969. My sister talked me into buying it because SHE wanted to hear it, but didn't want to spend her own money in case she didn't like it. I loved it immediately, and holed up in my room playing it over and over. The next day my parents (I was 13) were angry with me because I wanted to listen to my Joni Mitchell album instead of coming downstairs to watch the moon landing coverage on TV. BTW, my sister did like the album, and all summer she kept borrowing it without asking, which I recorded bitterly in my diary. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- dlmessling@rcn.com http://www.sensibleshoes.vox.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2007 23:07:38 +0100 From: missblux@googlemail.com Subject: Re: NJC, Congratulations! Thanks! You know, I really should thank every one on this list, because you have been an alternative and a different outlook at a time when life was really difficult, partly because of all kinds of troubles and doubts and complications with my work... and because of other hardship (In short, everything was fucked up). I'm sure I'll write a long and pathetic (no, pathos-filled is better) post about it one day. Really, when the official version of this dissertation is out I guess I have to thank the jonilistas for representing life outside. Both sides all the time...!

I too loved her voice and the ultra-slow way she sings songs. Her album of covers was on high rotation in the station last Fall and I always get a thrill hearing her sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". And when her slow version reached that climactic "hallelujah" at the end, it was unlike I have ever heard before. For fans of another great singer Susanne Abbuehl, try Susanna and her Magical Orchestra.

Futurama is a great adult cartoon show from a few years ago by Matt Groening of Simpsons fame. Unfortunately it lasted only a few seasons and I'm sure that had to do with the crappy schedule. They kept moving it around or preempting it for something much less interesting. It still plays in reruns on some TV stations. Don't know if yours have the same names as ours here in Canada, but I think it plays on Teletoon here, among others. I remember the episode, but I don't remember Joni's head in a jar. The heads-in-jars thing was an ongoing gag in Futurama. The show is set 1000 years in the future. Famous people from our time had had their heads preserved in jars. They could still talk and so on, but not much more (being merely heads in jars.) Richard Nixon's head-in-a-jar showed up quite a few times.

Now, was it some movie I was watching not too long ago, or an argument we were having at work, but... is it the one with the waggly or the one with the waggity (or waggidy?) tail? I've just looked it up and apparently it's waggley. Whatchoo gonna do? I always say "waggity".
