I'm terrible with numbers (dates specifically) which makes entire realms such as history an extreme challenge for me. Anyways Feliz Cumpleanos Linda. Your post got me to look at Linda performing some of the myriad songs that are now markers of my life's journey. Her relatively upbeat cover with Emmylou Harris of For A Dancer - perhaps my favorite Jackson Browne song ever - from The Western Wall as well as her rendition of Goodbye My Friend written by friend Karla Bonoff are powerful. Come to think of it the lyrics of both songs address the same subject - loss, with For A Dancer being much more philosophical (a la Joni). Of course, many remember Linda especially for her more raucous rock and roll hits (and misses). Linda - indeed just as outspoken as Joni in her own right - - catered (reluctantly she says on her part) many times to the whims of the movers and shakers in the recording industry and once she had become a major artist in her own right, began to call the shots and ventured into musical territory very unlike her earlier work (read potentially largely not RIAA star-maker machinery profitable). So IMHO she is due a lot of respect for her inimitable vocals and often daring music as well as for taking a position and backing that up with words/actions, in an often hostile environment of recent.

For all of her vocal prowess, Joni is not a rock and roll belter. My favorite vocal performances of Linda's: - -Heatwave - -You're No Good - -Faithless Love - -Love Is A Rose - -Silver Blue - -Someone To Lay Down Beside Me - -Tumbling Dice (just to hear her sing "you got to roll me") I never did care for her Elvis Costello covers; she couldn't capture the dark side of those songs. I liked her Warren Zevon stuff - until I heard Zevon's own versions of those songs. Her cover of Joni's "River" is pretty forgettable too. Saw her live one time, in Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh when I was a college student. She had a hard time hearing herself in the monitor and sang "Blue Bayou" slightly off-pitch, commenting afterwards "that was 'Blue Bayou' in the key of N". It was a good show - she always toured with the top west coast session guys.

I had to thank, via email, a woman I've never even met, for pushing through some important project (not a four-lane highway, though!) that was stalled and making me crazy. She works across campus in the upper echelons (icy altitudes) of the administration. And her name is Hanna. Uh oh! JMOCD strikes again! Now what would you do? Keep it all cold and professional (like battalions of paper minded males, talking commodities and sales), OR share something totally cool that just might make someone's day? I decided to go for the stardust and golden. ******** Thanks so much, Hanna! Best wishes, Patti P.S.. By the way, my favorite singer/songwriter recently wrote a song called "Hana". Did you know about it? Great lyrics! http://jonimitchell.com/music/song.cfm?id=305&from=search ****** The funny thing is that I cc'ed my boss on this one. She's great. I can just see her shaking her head and laughing when she reads it. In other Joni in the workplace happenings, it is getting time to hire student workers for next year. One young man is writing from our Paris program and really wants to work here. When I wrote back, telling him about the job duties and all, I *almost* addded a P.S.: "Do you like Joni Mitchell?" Then I just laughed to myself and decided to save the question for the actual interview.

Hey everyone. I am asking you to send some good karma my way for tomorrow. As it happens to be, I live in Ohio and work at a radio station on a part time status. Well, tomorrow I have a phone interview with a radio station in Central Point, Oregon (a beautiful location from what I have researched) for a full time behind the scenes radio opportunity. This could be my chance to move on and start a whole, new, exciting chapter in my life. I don't look for sympathy as I say this but my time in Ohio (mentally speaking) has long been done. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:41:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: NJC OH to OR part 2 Woops, I accidentally hit something on the keyboard that made that send.. Anyway, I am ready to really get involved in my broadcasting career and am very, very excited that it is located on the west coast. It is my dream to eventually live in California which would be made a hell of a lot easier if I resided in Oregon. Not to forget that the weather in the city is beautiful--not cool and rainy like Portland but average coldest temp in the winter is in the 40's and barely any snow!!!! I feel like I have nothing left in Ohio and am just wasting my time here so I hope for the best and ask for positive vibes! Oh, any folks in Oregon on the Joni list to say anything about the area? - -Mon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 18:34:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Retro Covers, Volume 40 Here's another mid-month Joni covers catch-up post, Joni covers from way back when.

You've got ocean, mountains, lots of trees and natural beauty. Who could ask for anything more? I will definitely send good vibes your way - it sounds like a great opportunity. - --- On Thu, 7/16/09, Monika Bogdanowicz wrote: From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: NJC OH to OR part 2 To: "Joni people!"
