We had two of the same. Katie Noonan and Renee Geyer - that woman is a legend. I wasn't aware of her work with Chaka. I might have been confusing Wendy Matthews. Oh yeah! I'd like to add Wendy Matthews. Ex-pat Canadian who worked with Barbra and Aretha before settling in Sydney and changing the Australian music scene. Token Angels is still one of my favourite songs. Joan Armatrading's Willow is gorgeous too. Such an inspirational song. I was blown away this morning when I received a personal e-mail from one of my all time favourite singer/songwriters - Peggy Van Zalm. I have followed her career since her debut release with her band, Martha's Vineyard and was just trying to find out if that album is still available. I never expected to get a reply from the lady herself. On her website, she sites Joni as one of her influences http:// homepages.tig.com.au/~pvzalm/ Check her out on YouTube too. Mark in Sydney NP Just As Long As We're Together - Prince ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:46:52 -0800 (PST) From: M C Subject: spreading the jmdl word this weekend i went to artists open studios in a converted factory warehouse. i walked into a studio and realized i was hearing "...last chance lost..." coming from the portable cd player. i looked at the artist and said "that's joni mitchell! are you a fan?" she smiled and said "yes, for a long time". "me too! do you belong to the jmdl?" "what's that?" she asked. sooo, i explained with a brief description, she writing it all down. later, at home, i sent her links to the jmdl and joni homepages. i may have turned a fellow joni fan on to the jmdl. cool. - - mc ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:27:45 +0000 From: Gordon Mackie Subject: Live At The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Mark/ Bob Thanks for these. A real treat. As you say, not the best sound but I'm grateful to have them. If only there were official recordings out there. I like some of the material more than MoA...e.g. This Flight Tonight Smiling Gordon in frosty Glasgow ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:45:43 +0000 (GMT) From: Joseph Palis Subject: Re: ten singers/songs njc Tough choice to narrow singers of all persuasions to 10 but I'll play: Ella Fitzgerald - Just You, Just me; I Cried For You B Youssou N'Dour - Shukran Bamba, Lett Ma Tom Waits - Ol' 55, I'm Still Here Janis Siegel - Bob White, Agua Joni Mitchell - See You Sometime, Furry Sings the Blues B Tracey Thorn - Disenchanted, Sugar Finney B Caetano Veloso - Cucucrucucu, Baby B Anne Sofie von Otter - Im Fruhling, An Silvia, I'm A Stranger Here Myself B Rickie Lee Jones - The Moon is Made of Gold, Pirates (So Long, Lonely Avenue) Jack Kerouac - Ain't We Got Fun, haiku readings B B Some artists whose general body of work I am not a huge fan (or at least ambivalent) but who dazzled/engaged/sold/blew me away in specific songs. Here are their best song performances that I really like: B Peter Allen - Fly Away Aaliyah - At Your Best Rufus Wainwright - Greek Song Alanis Morrissette - Right Through You Sid Vicious - May Way Carly Simon - Love of My Life 2pac - If I Die 2 Nite James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover Alicia Keys - Never Felt This Way Madonna - Into The Groove B B Just my 0.2.

I just came across this interview in the latest Le Nouvel Observateur (No. 2300 du 4 au 10 decembre 2008) for anyJonione who understands the language spoken where they kiss on Main Street (CoT, Mags, and you know there may be more...) Plus tard dans la soirie, un frisson d'imotion traversera le public quand, ` la fin de son concert, Stephen Stills invitera son ex-femme Vironique Sanson et leur fils Christopher ` le rejoindre sur la schne de l'Olympia pour chanter +Love The One You're With;. Inchoate (Hi Richard!) translation: "Earlier in the evening, an emotional shiver traversed the crowd when, at the end of the concert, Stephen Stills invited his ex-wife VS and their son son Christopher to join him on the stage of The Olympia to sing "Love The One You're With." Catherine, I know you posted a video of this recently (here, or on FB?...I can't remember). Magnifique! Merci! (Encore une fois, s'il te plait?) Alors, voila: http://hebdo.nouvelobs.com/hebdo/parution/p2300/articles/a389957-.html?xtmc=s ansonstills&xtcr=1 There are two photos in the hard copy version if you can get your hands on it in a bookstore or library. (Le couple en 1977; Stephen Stills et Veronique Sanson aujourd'hui.) And in some Joni-in-the-workplace news, my awesome student worker, Ali, who loves Joni (when I interviewed her and she saw my WWJM magnet...well, you know how those moments go! Was the word "Aukkk" or something like that?) auditioned for multiple dramatic productions here by singing Chelsea Morning. She got the part she wanted! This kid's a keeper. She showed me the songbook she borrowed from a music professor and we were oohing and ahhing over the drawings. Some people came into my office and saw us Joni-jubilating and just shook their heads. ; ) Vive la Joan! Love, Patti P. in Storrs, CT, ou il pleut dans la ville comme il pleut dans mon coeur P.S. I hear that Obama is looking for a Car Czar. I nominate Neil Young! He'd do his best and he'd do good business, rocking in the free world.

In no particular order: - -Joni Mitchell (as I said before, she makes you FEEL what she is singing): River - -Roger Daltrey: Love Reign O'er Me (He has such a powerful rock voice and a very strong singing voice in general, listen to his first solo album to hear his "non-rock" singing and hear his range) - -John Lennon: Yer Blues, Cold Turkey (Perfect expression. Successful rock singing.) - -Elvis Presley: Jailhouse Rock (Come on now, need I explain?

(A GREAT rock-n-roll singer) - -Layne Staley: His work with Alice in Chains. (Listen to some of their acoustic stuff to really hear the pain in his voice. Powerful vocals.) - -Shirley Manson: Happy Home (Her work with Garbage is good.

(A GREAT rock-n-roll singer)> That's a great call, Mon - and you certainly don't have to limit it to his Audioslave stuff, all of which rocks. Any of his Soundgarden stuff is equally as powerful - "Fell On Black Days" always gives me the chills, I'd love to karaoke that one sometime.

Classic in my mind. Sarah McLachlan sang that song too in an ep she released in the mid-90s. I have been listening to some Jim Croce lately too like 'I Got A Name' and 'Time in a Bottle'. Even Harry Chapin's 'Cat's in the Cradle'. Just a side note: I was listening to Beyonce's version of 'At Last' for the movie 'Cadillac Records'. The song was well sung but I wasn't impressed. And even if I am not a fan of Etta James, Etta's whole body sings when she performs a song and you feel it that catharsis when she slowly eviscerates that "....aaaat laaaasssst...." in the opening lines. I'd like to hear Tracy Chapman sing this song, but I don't think TC sings other people's songs? Joseph np: Annie Ross - Farmer's Market - --- En date deB : Jeu 11.12.08, gene a C)critB : .
