It looks like Joni succumbed to the corporate music biz monolith after all, in spite of her diatribes against it, and sold off her publishing catalog to pay the bills. I wonder what they offered. Quite a valuable package I'm sure./// as I remember the news story Joni did not sell the rights to the music... she simply entered into a contract to have Sony administer the catalog. So I believe she still owns the music. ... signing off for now, Peace, David ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:34:37 EDT From: PassScribe@aol.com Subject: Re: my guy Al and Neil Young, njc then my gal Cindy Patti, I get excited just reading your energetic posts!

I remember reading somewhere that most of the common names for Native American tribes are not what those tribes called themselves, but what their neighbor tribes (often enemies) called them. And often the names were less than flattering, and translated to things like "a$$holes", or "lazy bums". I think "apache" is the Comanche word for horse thief. Or maybe its the other way around. I guess as the anglo explorers were heading westward, they'd ask the tribes they already knew, "What's that tribe over there?" and get an answer like, "Oh, thats the Bunchajerks" snicker, snicker. I don't know if that's really true or not, but it would be funny if it were true. Peace, David I lived in Arizona in the '70's and 80's and my memory (perhaps somewhat faulty) is that the Apache were never in a position to have a name imposed upon then. They were baaaaaaad. However the Spaniards did ask the Apache what the name of the people living in the valley below were. The Apache said that they were "Pima", which meant "bean eaters". The name stuck until the late 70's or early 80's when they changed their name back to what they always called themselves: "O'odahm Tash" (Spelling?), which means "People of the Desert". They lived in the valley between what is now Phoenix and Tucson and built lots of canals. They did grow a lot of beans (especially tepary and pinto), but that's no reason for racial profiling!!! The most famous "Pima" Indian is Ira Hayes, who was one of the Marines who raised the amerikan flag at Iwo Jima, memorialized in a song by Patrick Sky. I have a picture of my then three year old daughter picking cotton in a field next to the ditch Ira Hayes died in near Sacaton, AZ. ~Dave When you don't know where you're going you've got to stick together, just in case someone gets there! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:42:26 -0500 From: "Dave Folks" Subject: Court & Spark I'm delurking for a mo' I have moved from a medium sized home to a small home and feel some compulsion to get rid of what I do not use/need. I have a Joni Mitchell Court and Spark music book I bought from Mingus Guitars in Tucson, AZ sometime in the 1970's (Their sticker is on the front page. It is copyright 1974 Crazy Crow Music. My dream was to play Joni on my banjo, but my lack of ability (and people willing to be honest with me) convinced me that Joni:Banjo will not be!!! I will send it to somebody on the jonilist. All you have to do is reimburse me for postage after you receive it. Contact me directly. It's a lovely book, but it is taking up valuable space I no longer have or need. My e-mail is somewhat dodgy right now because I have satellite web service and it doesn't work so well when we have our frequent storms. Peace!!!

The last time I saw him in concert was the most amazing experience I've ever had. Because, he really does know & respect the source. He plugs in direct & everyone can feel it. Speaking of Neil, I'm producing my first one for Neil this year. As always, it is a benefit for keeping music in the Santa Barbara schools.
