Hi Paul, I have no insider information, primarily because I can't keep a secret. Those who might know are not talking. Anyway, she's in good spirits this year so I'm hoping for a replay of the BSN mini-tour. I don't think she'd be able to smoke on *any* commercial aircraft this year. I wonder if Joni would like touring on a bus? She could leave the driving to someone else, smoke all day and even take her cats. I know she rode busses in the early days but has she ever conducted a tour on a bus? The video from the Refuge tour is in cars. Was MoA on the bus? S&L? Jim L. "You're either on the bus or off the bus." Ken Kesey, but I think it was from Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test", not "On the Road." Paul Headon, In Wales >Having travelled a 6000+ miles round trip to see Joni in her last concert in New York in 2000 I wonder will she tour in order to present her next album.> ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2007 19:01:47 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Rousseau walks on trumpet paths... >I fell in love with a painting called "Sleeping Gypsy".< I love that painting! I have it in poster form somewhere (& it used to hang over my desk in my office of my previous home) I will have to see if I can dig it out! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2007 22:11:48 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: Rousseau walks on trumpt paths Sherelle asks: in the very beginning of the song when the "Drums of Burundi" that I love so much break forth, what chord is she playing on the guitar. Hi Sherelle, In the Joni Mitchell Complete contraband book she has the guitar tuning as open A: AAC#EAE (A-12-4-3-5-7). The first chord is like a normal A chord finger formation but on the 5th fret covering the top three strings (AAC# strings) and the pointer put down on the 4th fret fourth string (E string) to look like this: o 4th fret ooo 2341 (fingers) Then lift the pointer (1) and alternate between lifting and replacing it each measure (8 measures total) and then strum an open A on the last beat of the 8th measure of introduction. The verse begins with barring all the way across on the ninth fret and then for the second measure putting two fingers down on the C# and E strings on the 11th fret while still holding the bar across the 9th fret (trumpet paths). Hope this makes sense to you and gives you a start.

I've just finished reading Levon Helm's autobiography and a few things sparked my memory about The Band-related items on the Joni discussion list. I think some people on the list referred to concerts or get togethers by former members of The Band. Could someone refresh my memory of this? Also, I do recall Bob Muller referring to Endless Highway, the tribute record. On Bob's recommendation, I've since immersed myself in the version of Acadian Driftwood - just love it, and it's now become my current fave song from The Band. Thanks all ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 03:19:52 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: been gone a while, njc Our Little Ms. Treegreen wrote: and . . . as patti would say: don''t let it bring you down it's only castles burning. . . and you will come around." And Neil and I would further add that we are no longer searching for a heart of gold, since we found YOU! One of the many highlights of our Night in the City/Joni Tribute was standing with you on John Lennon's "Imagine" mosaic in Central Park the morning after. You and me, arm in arm, wearing the exact same shoes (quelle coincidence!), mine black, and yours white, overlooking the strewn (for the) rose(s) petals in the form of a peace sign. I hope you now have a suitcase with rolling wheels! That was our only problem that day....LOL! Et bonne chance with your music. Carry on, sistah! Go for it! We will all support you and buy your CD. That's about 800 of us, right? And if we all tell ten friends to buy it, that's over 8,000, non? Pardonnez-moi, I was not a math major. How many friends do we have to get to be at half a million strong? Speaking of majors, I often wonder (a child came out to wonder) what jmdlers here majored in. I majored in French and German. I imagine that many people here were in the Humanities....or Music, of course...and Bene is in Linguistics...and Richard, the last time I saw Richard, he was in English, and.... Love, Patti P. From: "Randy Remote" Subject: Re: Been gone a while (njc0 Dear Sherelle- I am so sorry to hear this has happened to you. You are the sweetest, and the last to deserve something like this. I am very grateful that you were not injured, and that we can all look forward to hearing your sweet singing in the future. Don't let the bastards get you down.

"I even thought of you when we were coming back home becasue we passed a new restaurant on Poinsett Highway" Do you mean Pointsettia? Is it comin' on Christmas already? "called the Snapshot Cafe. It's actually become kind of a swinging hot spot. Anyway, the owner is named David Crosby and he used to run a photography studio. Back in my theatre days he used to come and do some of the promo photography sort of stuff. Anyway, in his restaurant he sells some of his photos, which he calls "Crosby Stills".
