You may remember, a while back I called for help to compile every remix of Joni's songs that was out there. Well, I created a CD and uploaded it to share. Some of you might have missed it as well as the newcomers. Christopher Moore's question about Shiny Toys inspired me to package it up again to share with those who might have missed out. It's in two parts. Here's part one: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/770783518/68545422aaad503fddfc2dfed1d22171 and here's part two: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/771020172/5c91553721c871799a41772c1b84bdb3 Mark in Sydney NP You Make Me Feel Brand New - Simply Red ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 10:55:49 +0000 (GMT) From: Lieve Reckers Subject: Re: Vote for Joni Impossible job! Top ten would have been easier. I finally decided on Joni, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. Had to reluctantly remove Nina Simone, Eva Cassidy, Robert Plant, Sam Cooke and Roy Orbison. I'm considering voting for them under an alias. After all, I've always said that one life is not enough...

Don Alias is on the LEFT in the picture facing p 65 and the face on the right is probably JM's. DAVID LAHM ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 07:55:36 -0500 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: Kings of Convenience Boat Behind NJC Thanks for the feedback, Mags - I know that I spout off about a ton of music, and most of it is more rockish than most of y'all want to get into. In the case of KOC, the constant comparison is Simon & Garfunkel in terms of harmonics and song structure. These fellows have only released 3 albums in the last ten years so when they put out a new one it is big news - sorta like Joni.

I guess it wasn't that popular up here, or I wasn't paying attention. But, when you look at the words of this Joni song, even though the lyrics are pretty simple compared to her later works, you can definitely see hints of things to come - themes and even phrases that show up in later songs. Free Darlingby Joni Mitchell Oh, you're such a free girl now You cut the strings To fill your wings And fly into a strobe light room Once upon a day girl now Flower scenes and magazines Will tell you what's in style or tune Dancing in dark cafes Feeling lucky and alive again It's so nice to be free, you'll see Oh it feels so good to be So long ago, so hard we go With no one caring what you'll do I remember secret days My empty prayer or cut your hair Do anything that leaves you full Lie down selves again No one will meet the plane It's so nice to be free, you'll see Come a week for winter time To hang around You're back in town But no one knows you went away There's a new face on the scene To smile a dream And yet reveal You're wondering what we should be Now you're kissing me Soon you'll be missing me It's a drag to be free, darling ________________________________ From: "Bob.Muller@Fluor.com" To: Catherine McKay Cc: Jeannie ; joni@smoe.org Sent: Thu, November 5, 2009 1:42:30 PM Subject: Re: I want to make you feel free Spoken like a true southern redneck, Catherine - only you forgot to add the hoooooo-wooooooo!!! that follows it.
