I never heard of them before I came to this list - but I'll look out
for them. They market themselves in a very low-key way - it looks
almost as if they do house concerts only...

Hi, Bo and everybody else,
whenever I feel that way - and believe me, I do every now and then -, the

always pick me up again.
Have a fantastic Saturday!

Hey...
  Here's the Joni lyrics that are saving my life...keeping me
going...today...a gorgeous Friday when I could be dancing with my dogs in
the back...an expanse of lawn, walking, walking walking...that trip to
nowhere that could possibly include a chance meeting with a stranger who
wants nothing more than to listen...then holds your confessions and sets you
free...
  "You win the lasting laurels with your laughter
  It reaches like an arm before you sink
  To win the solitary truth you're after
  You dare not ask the priestess how to think
  How to think, how to think"
  Then again, I can use "Chelsea Morning" as a mantra, 
  and I'm searching for "crimson crystal beads to beckon" me to a place
where it feels safe....to a place where it feels familiar....to a place
where once I danced, laughed, created, painted.....I can't find those
days..not even in my memory.
  I live and continue to live within Joni's lyrics from "Conversation".
It's all about "comfort and consultation", isn't it?  It's not a
person...just a very far away time...and accountability that grips your
throat until the life within you slowly escapes.
  Down words...down sentences.  I'm sorry.  But I'm glad you're there,
somewhere to choose or not to choose to read.
  So many of you are with me in my mind's eye.  You'd be surprised.
  Bo, with love

Subject: NJC Morning Joniland!

Dear fellow-listers.
This is something I've dreamt about
Finally, I can read the digest, with my morning coffee
in the weekends. Finally I've got my internet connection.
I'm really enjoying it !

And if some of you are shocked of the fact that I'm drinking my morning
coffee now,
probably at the same time as that SCJoniguy, well I'm shocked as well.

Karen Marie was throwing this great party yesterday,
since she us leaving town,
something that is not so good.
I sure will miss my Joni Mitchell friend
here in Oslo. But we'll stay in touch,
I still will come to her for conversation...

Oh but friendship,
Canada.
What prcecious gifts

Well back to the coffee.
Morning Morgantown,
and I woke up at 14 pm.
Truly shocking !

I had all this plans.
So maybe I'll just clean my house.
But right now, I will log in to CDBABY to try
to secure myself a copy of Sherelles CD
"Do what you love!"

My best to you.
And especially to Bo !
Music can save life. Keep listening ! Take it in. What you shared about your
morning yesterday,
was toucing, warm and encouraging. With a nerve. I think that is something
our "struggling" times makes us better, to grasp some of the things that
really makes life worth living, even though at the time not able to see it
(at all). Well, it's just the nerve. Are any of you familiar wuth The Sun
Magazine: http://www.thesunmagazine.org/  (NOT THE NEWSPAPER THE SUN; very
different in every aspect) I've asked Joseph eralier, 'cause if I understand
correctly they're headoffice is situated in Chapel Hill. There is a section
in every issue called "Readers write" In one the theme was "excuses" Readers
write excuses" - the content of the writings had such a strong impact on me
that I still remeber it vividly, two years after I've read it. The Sun
Magazine is higly recomended to anyone open for some mindexpanding stories
and to all broken hearts all over. Keep burning. Keep shining.

Love

The 2 classics are "Deja Vu" and "Crosby, Stills and Nash".  (This is not
"CSN".)  "Deja Vu" has the most famous version of "Woodstock" and Nash's song
love song for Joni called "Our House".

Reading that essay, I just now "got" that line.  Harry's driving in NYC when
he's has to stop for a traffic light.  For the moment, he's distracted by a

Hi Cassy,

     This same thing happened to me in the Spring on a highway that suddenly 
ends at a red light.   I'm slowly getting better... at least that's what I 
keep telling myself.   My neck was bad immediately and is much better now, but my 
back got progressively worse.

>>Two U.S. car thieves failed to make their getaway in a car they had just
stolen because they couldn't figure out how to use its manual transmission, a
witness said on Wednesday. The teenagers armed with a gun approached a man
outside a pizza restaurant in Marietta, Georgia, late on Monday. They stole
his wallet and the keys to his Honda Accord, got into the car but couldn't
make it start because it had stick shift, according to John Williamson, 18, a
restaurant employee.
"The kid was just sitting in the car trying to start it but he had no idea
what to do. He looked dumbfounded. The only thing he had going was the radio,"
said Williamson who witnessed the scene.
While the thief was trying to start the car, restaurant employees called the
police who arrived and caught the teenagers as they tried to escape into
nearby woods.
Unlike many parts of the world, the majority of cars in the United States are
automatic and many drivers are unused to driving "stick shift" vehicles, in
which a clutch pedal must be depressed to change gear.<<

Dear Bo,

We read and we care even if we don't respond en masse. We do read. So many 
of us have used Joni's music as a catharsis. Many of us here suffer as you 
do. Through the years, we've tried to be there for each other. It seems to 
be a cycle of support for one another. When one person is able to see 
clearly, they turn around and help someone else lost in the fog. That's how 
it goes. We understand which is what we have in common. Joni's music is so 
beautiful, her lyrics so honest, it's like a catharsis for all the 
"lostness" we feel.

One part of a song of Joni's that always helps me put things in perspective 
is from Heijira:

"There's comfort in melancholy
When there's no need to explain
It's just as natural as the weather
In these moody skies today...."

We all have one song of hers that speaks directly to our hearts. We all 
understand. Just let these emotions wash over you like water. Don't drink 
them in...just let them wash you. As you look up, you will see the sun 
peeking through the clouds and it will feel warm on your face. You will feel 
again dear Bo. Don't drink these bitter waters. Just let them wash you clean 
as you hold on to us...

Love, Sherelle

Dear Cassy,

I am so sorry to hear of your one friend's injury and your other's friend's 
death. I've always said that death brings out the best or the worst in 
people, that is certain. I am appalled just reading his story. I'm sure he 
would be very upset. You make a good point.

On the positive side, I am happy that you have finally sold your house and 
that you are in order to make your move to Seattle. I'm sure it is very 
stressful trying to put things together but hold on and keep your head up. I 
mentioned Heijira in a previous post and it seems to me you are living this 
song out right now. As you "ravel in some vehicle", think of your life as an 
adventure that Joni would be writing a song about. It's a new chapter in 
your life and I send you my love and best wishes.

Love, Sherelle

It must have been something in the air last week.  On Monday a friend was
rear-ended by a woman who was suffering a stroke.  He was stopped at a red
light and she hit him at about 50 miles an hour, never touched her brakes.
He injured his back and neck.  Tuesday I got the word that I had sold my
house (three months on the market much better than the current average 10-15
mos. in MI)  Wednesday one of my very closest friends was killed in a
motorcycle accident - he was hit by a garbage truck running a late yellow as
he made a right turn on red.  His family locked his girlfriend of 7 years
out of the house, they had the locks changed the day he died.  The day of
his funeral a dumpster was delivered to his home and they began pitching his
things... they lost a ton of money by doing this; he had every copy of
Playboy magazine from 1960-2007 and they just tossed them... threw away a
bolt of fabric in his garage - he'd just paid almost $1,000 for it to
re-upholster the interior of his 1968 Galaxy.  It's appalling, he'd be livid
at what's going on.  The lesson here is that we don't have as much time as
we think we do... make provisions for your loved ones... in writing.  Death
makes even good people do bad things sometimes.

Now I am in the midst of sweating the final closing on the house, moving my
son to his father's, having a moving sale, final packing, renting a truck,
soliciting helpers and driving to Seattle with my Jeep in tow.  So much to
do.  Music is my salvation and my respite.

Warmly,
Cassy

Amen to "living for the day" Jimmy! Well said! Also, you make good points 
about wills. I guess sometimes you think you have nothing worth putting in a 
will but your wishes are also valuable.

Jimmy, I am so sorry to hear of your losses within the past 18 months. My 
heart goes out to you and your family. I am sure both deaths must have been 
a tremendous shock. I will keep you, Ed, and your families in my heart.

Love, Sherelle

You are so right Cassy! Everyone, no matter how young they are should make
provisions legally.  Having lost two nieces within the past 18 months, this
really hit close to home. The first niece was just 17 at the time, but her 
older
sister, age 28 with 3 children died suddenly when one of her lungs 
collapsed.
Even though Ed & I had a will done by a college buddy back in the 80's, it
really got me thinking.  Just last month, we had the wills redone, a living
will,
powers of attorney, health surrogates, and a trust. Both of our families 
care
for us very much, but you never know what can happen at a time of death.
Since we can't be married legally in Florida, we've covered all the bases as 
far
as the law is concerned.

I've also learned to live for the day. Some people will save every penny for
the future.  It's good to save, but if you have the opportunity to travel
somewhere, go see a concert, or even buy a CD that you've wanted to 
get.......go
for it!  You might not have the chance tomorrow.

Sorry to be so serious, but happy weekend everyone!

While listening to the CBC the other day, I heard a Joni mention.  On
the show called "Q," they were interviewing a classical musician who
has championed Czech music.

They had him on the phone from Prague, and he mentioned he was given
the Joni Mitchell Suite at his hotel.  It seemed fitting as he is from
Canada.

  Well - firstly we were challenged by a President who was a real leader.
   
  Secondly, we were a lot smarter then. Our culture has dumbed itself way, way down in those 40 years, at least it sure seems that way to me. Now we're more concerned with just getting to the Wal-Mart or to the TV.
   
  On another note, at least now most of the criminals have become REALLY dumb, like the ones you've mentioned. The bad news is that all the smart criminals find their way into the government.

And in the spirit of solidarity with our dumbed-down US cousins, I proudly
present...

The Best of British

Be very proud to be British because:

Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the
back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy
cigarettes at the front of the shop.

Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a
DIET coke.

Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the
counters.

Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and
lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have
call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in
the first place.

Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating
rink.

 NOT TO MENTION...

3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy
lights were plugged in.

19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations
were chocolate.

British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling
accidents.

101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the
soles of their feet.

18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette
in their mouth.

A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E (Hospital Accident and Emergency
Units) in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

8 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control
Scalextric cars.

And finally.........

In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

RULE BRITANNIA!!

huge box set which you  wouldn't get to start off with) as they don't have all 
that much  material together anyway.  Very few compared to what it could have

Subject: Joni/Woodstock/CSN

I'm sure some of you already know this but for  those who don't Joni appears 
in Crosby, Stills, & Nash's video, "Long Time  Comin'."  It's just a bunch of 
clips from various performances throughout  their career as well as some 
interviews (and a couple of random clips of the  band including one which I find 
amusing where Stephen Stills goes up to David  Crosby ending off by saying, "you 
fucking hypocrite, you piss me off!" and  storms off...I find it amusing 
because Crosby looks stoned out of mind, is just  laying in a hammock, looks 
peaceful as can be...and he doesn't even respond to  Stephen....). 
    Anyway, more towards the beginning, "Woodstock" is  playing in the 
background and Joni briefly talks about the festival/song.   She makes a very short 
appearance.

P.S. There's also Stephen Stills' performance of 4+20 from the Dick Cavett  
Show in which Joni is sitting by him...

Subject: Re: stick up NJC

is it just me? or was it kind of a leap, anyway, to somehow correlate
one ill-prepared car-thief-wannabe's inability to drive a stick shift,
with the technological talents - or lack of them, overall, of the USA?

I mean, I know we're the worst idiots, but really, that same kid could
probably (possibly) blow through really difficult video games like
nobody's business - knows all the cheats, etc.
Not easy to do, either!
So, its not that he is not *capable* of driving a stick, but that its
just never come up in his life. Lucky for the owner of the unstealable
Honda!

For instance, I use this computer every day, but can I "program"? can I
write code? hell no. And I don't need to, usually! so why mess with
technology I don't need.
The guy was ill-prepared for the job he said out to. Probably was not a
former Boy Scout.

I'd say half my vehicles over the years have had manual transmissions.
Right now, I'd only buy one if a. I wanted to do burn-outs on a regular
basis or b. had a vehicle for heavy duty off-road use.
For stop and go traffic I am very very happy to have the auto trans in
my Jeep Cherokee.
With a manual, it gets pretty tiring about the 105th time you've had to
depress that clutch pedal within 5 minutes, in the slow stuff.

Along the same lines, though, as that guy not being able to steal the
car because of this country's apparent technical retardation, I do hope
that the motorcycle I am building, which will have kick start only when
its done, does prove difficult to steal due to that "feature".
Maybe the potential thief won't know how to kick start a bike.
Dummy!

oh these were great!
and so good to see that we, here in the States are not the only idjits.
So, what is "cracker pulling?"
does it have to do with towing huge-wheeled 4 by 4 vehicles out of the
mud with another similar vehicle?

Subject: NJC more norwegian music

 It seems I started to see this as a sort of call.
Well those of you not interested will just have to skip this -
but for the dedcated I have to more voices for your recomandation.

Unni Wilhelmsen first came into norwegian hearts ten years ago with her hit
"Won't go near you again"
Her voice is beautiful and here texts are good too.
I heard her in concert this spring. She did a beautiful cover of "Both
sides, now"
I went up and asked her afterwards if she didn't won't to record it.
And she said she had thought about making a coveralbum some day.
Must say I hope I will.
We just have to keep our eyes open, Bob. I sure will let you know it there's
anything coming up.
Unnis myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/unniwilhelmsen

Her latest album is in norwegian,  and three of the songs on myspace is. If
you want a trasnlation, ask, then I'll try...

The other artist I want to mention is the very sweet and talented Maria
Solheim
She come out of nowhere, just 17 years old, some eight years ago.
She has now done four albums.
And her latest "Will there be spring" is her best 'till now.
You get a good impression of her voice and music on her myspace.
To visit Marias myspace try this link:
http://www.myspace.com/mariasolheim

And to make this all somewhat Joni related, even though its no Joni content
at all,
I will finish this brief glimpse into norwegian music with a song from a
beautiful swedish jazz singer
Rigmor Gustafsson. She did a cover of James Taylor's "Fire and rain" so
beautiful that I had to get the whole album
I will send the song here. For those interested. Please open the attachment.

That's all for now!
All the best !
*Oddmund, Norway

Ps. I was LOL when I got the answer from CD Baby, after purchasing
Sherelle's cd (and Big Yellow Taxi) What enthusiasm !
Very charming. I'm the kind of customer who wants to shop more, when I get
answers like that, but then I've always been a bit querr in more than one
way...

Subject: Note to Joni

>Joni, thank you for your work.  Not every listener bailed out after Mingus;
cheer up!  You have lived up to your talent and to your commitment to write in
your own blood.  I think the 'hits' collection brought many new CD buyers to
the back catalog.  Thanks for revamping Paprika Plains; now there's a version
for Charles Mingus.  I'm glad the crops rotated again.  Did ya hear that
Starbucks is handling McCartney's new one?>

Jim L., quoting my new profile.  Are you listening?
