It's sad and he was too young to pass. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard My Sharona - at a local disco just ending one dance and waiting for the next. The song electrified everyone. Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:33:19 -0500 From: Subject: Joni lesson Pamela, You are perfectly understandable and write very well. I am sure everyone here wishes they could have had the opportunity when they were in school to have had a teacher like you. I was totally engaged just reading your summary of the class. Are you going to teach the students another segment on Joni? I bet they would love it!

LUVD IT I knew there were rumors Joni might perform, but it wasn't until I was driving home from work at 7am, listening to NPR that I heard them describe her section. I went right home & scanned my recording & am so glad I did not erase it. I thought the visuals of the ceremony were very evocative of the nature that is so important to Canadians. I was doubly thrilled to see Joni's prairie grasses & blue sky motiffs so well matched to the acrobat and her song, BSN. This sounded like a new recording to me...perhaps done for the Olympics. Any ideas anyone ? I was mesmerized. Floating boy flying & her words & voice soaring over the visuals. I thought it was more cohesive than the ballet TFATD. The ballet itself was good, the dancers were excellent, but I didn't think her visuals & the video projections really worked. Also, seeing a dvd of something meant to be seen live can reduce some meaning. Anyway, just my opinion. BTN really soared for me. I hope you get a chance to watch it.

Last night I saw the episode with Elton John and Diana Krall, Diana talked about how listening almost exclusively to Joni helped her through her Mom's death, and she performed "A Case Of You". She has really had an impact on that song - it's amazing how many new covers of the tune reference her arrangement and vocal stylings. Looking forward to the next disc, it has the Herbie Hancock episode which is gonna have a BUNCH of Joni content.

There's just something about her voice I just like. However, lest you think I spent my weekend riding around the prairie in a sleigh, singing rounds of "Snowbird", I will admit that I *do* despise another Canadian icon: I absolutely cannot, CANNOT, stand Bryan Adams,with the exception of 4 or 5 songs from the "Cuts Like a Knife" album, and those are for purely sentimental reasons I don't want to get into here, and parts of his "Into the Fire" album which I admit was really, really good in parts. But otherwise, I can't stand him. And that "performance" at the Olympics? I wasn't sure what was worse - watching him pretend to sing, or the horrible, hokey song, or Nelly Furtado's effi ng prom dress that she was wearing. So don't worry - Ashara's love and light hasn't rubbed off on me ;) p.s. I think I mentioned this to you before, but in case I haven't, I'm going to repeat myself like Abe Simpson - my wife thinks that Roch Voisine and Anne Murray could be the same person because they sound alike.

I really think that, unless a person has something really weird and/or wonderful to bring to the table, all singers should henceforth be banned from producing albums of either hymns or Christmas songs. I'm with you on Bryan Adams. Can't stand him and don't see who he appeals to or why. My daughter (almost 23) thinks he's kind of cool and asks me why I hate him, and I have to respond by asking her why she doesn't. I don't even GET him. As for Nellie F, YUK (that really looks like a swear word, doesn't it?)! I liked some of the songs on her "folk" album (it may have been called that, in fact.) Not enough that I'd buy the album, but what I heard did make me sit up and pay attention, just a little bit. I couldn't help but notice, with that spandex dress she was wearing, how she manages to be both curvy and kind of boxy at the same time. Yeah, I know that's bitchy/catty/whatever, but I noticed, OK? It never occurred to me that Roch Voisine and Anne Murray might be the same person. I suppose there are some similar tones in their voices, but apart from that, I don't hear it. Roch is better-looking to my eyes, though I've never seen him in a dress. But then again, I used to think that Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson were the same person. Apparently all the songs at the opening ceremony were pre-recorded (?) I read that somewhere, so it must be true. ________________________________ From: Robert Procyk To: Catherine McKay Cc: joni@smoe.org Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 11:09:56 AM Subject: Re: Anne Murray NJC Sorry to disappoint, Cat, but I have this weird fondness for Anne.

Mitchell's book of the same name. The opening poetry that was recited before they started playing Both Sides Now at the Vancouver Olympics opening ceremonies were from that book which reminded me of Joni's song. Here are the lyrics: Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees? "I have," said the willow, "And I begged him please to stay, but he went away, He went on his own one day." And I sing "One love have I," and he sings, "Now it's goodbye," And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again." Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves, Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees? "I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine, But he left in time, he went in his own good time." And I sing "One love have I," and he sings, "Now it's goodbye," and I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again." Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown, With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town? I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay, But he went away, with the sun and the wind away. And I sing "One love have I," and he sings, "Now it's goodbye," and I sing "Part of me dies until i see you again" This is a beautiful song which is tuned in the same way as Song To A Seagull: CGCGCC My tab is ready I just have to type it up. It's quite a beautiful song, with Joni's favorite ingredient ...

Of course almost everyone repeated the same opinion on that line. To put things in perspective I think and this is only my opinion is that every artist draws upon life experiences and at that time that is what she must have felt or how she perceived life. That made her a very rich woman enough money to buy all the oils, canvas, cigarettes, drugs and men that money can buy. So she should be a very happy and contented woman. She plays the tortured artist role very well and invokes empathy or should I say sympathy from her fans. That was a long time ago, it seems that the most revealing lyrical line of Joni Mitchell is "If I had a heart I would cry." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:52:06 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Fwd: Happy Mardi Gras | Booker T. in New Orleans on Hulu (NJC) Hi Kids!

Betty LeVette was a scream to work with and I loved her. DBT grew up with my friend Libra and I have been a big fan of theirs for awhile now. It was great to work with them as well. I even got credit for a change at the end of the video. Hope everyone is having a good day.

It is very beautiful and romantic. Learned it from the original (I think it was THE original) Joni Mitchell songbook, the one with the cover picture from "Clouds" and that includes a number of other never-released gems, such as "Jeremy," and the one about pink things (nuns/electric trees). Of course, they were in standard tuning but, as I had never heard them sung before, it didn't make that much difference to me at the time. I like the sound of all strings being tuned to only two different notes. It has a nice "droooooonnnne" sound, like the dulcimer. But it's still a pain to tune and retune. ________________________________ From: Susan Tierney McNamara To: "joni@smoe.org" Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 3:21:09 PM Subject: RE: BSN Olympic video Circa 1966-67, Joni wrote a song called "Who Has Seen The Wind" that was inspired by Canadian writer W.O.

I missed the broadcast on TV because of the time difference. It was on here at an inconvenient time and I didn't record it. I took Catherine's suggestion and downloaded a torrent of the NBC broadcast but it stopped short of this section. I was quite impressed by the whole show. It was created by one of Australia's most famous choreographers, David Atkins. He was responsible for the opening ceremonies for the 2000 Sydney Olympics and has been the choreographer for the Athens Games and Beijing. He has a wonderful creative mind. I particularly enjoyed the different aspects of Canadian culture and landscape. I never really thought about a place when listening to Joni's, Both Sides, Now but to put it in perspective of her own homeland amongst the prairies gave me a wonderful new visual aspect. The vast wheat fields equating to, "Rows and flows of angel hair" would have pleased Joni. As would David's use of the arena floor as a giant canvas. Thank you, David for recognising Canada's greatest gift to the world: Joni Mitchell. The whales were amazing. As was the ice flows. Well done, David, well done, Vancouver, well done Canada.
