The Stan Rogers connection is that his son Nathan (who now lives in Winnipeg) was on board that very ship. Rather moving that Nathan was there because his papa Stan never did make it up there, despite his gorgeous song Northwest Passage. Stan and Joni do have a connection as well, but I marked this one NJC, just in case. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2010/08/30/arctic-ship-stranded-home.htm l Mags ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:36:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Laura Stanley Subject: Re: Still reading after all these years Anita wrote: It took me on to: "Anyone will tell you Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend Maybe they'll short sell you Or maybe it's you Judas in the end When you just can no longer pretend That you're getting what you need Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on."

Happy Monday Anita Hi Anita, What amazes me about this list and about Joni in general is the depth of friendships I now have because of both. The expression in Joni's music and life touches so many areas of my own life that I might not otherwise notice and be able to share with others. Finding other people who play Joni's music has been incredible. Enlightening is the best way to describe it all. Friends here who "get" Joni are very special people. I have grown as a person and as a guitar player through this list. As for the pressure of being an artist, I am of the opinion that For the Roses is no doubt her real experience, but expression seems very natural to her even in interviews. DJRD!!!! Wow!!! When I think of that album, I immediately think of Cotton Avenue and taking a walk. I feel like my walk is part of a movie when I listen and walk. One question on my mind is in Otis and Marlena, what are "cupid colonnades?"

Hi Ingrid welcome your enthusiasm and energy for what you see as change, but I hink what you seem to want from JMDL is already here, and, you know, here may be more! One of the great gifts for me as part part of JMDL has been e-visiting old published songs from my youth that I feel I know nside out, only to find new insights and understandings from folk who hare their perspectives on the list. In that way, the 'ongoing onsciousness' you describe so eloquently has always been part of what as always been here on JMDL. 'Alchemical secrets' have been shared as as the magical synchronicity so many have had in relation to Joni's ongs and events in their lives. There have been lots of discussions about what might have been going n for Joni in her life when she wrote all kinds of songs and we have ot been immune from fantasy and gossip,too! All human life is here. For the years I have been part of JMDL, putting in a lot sometimes and ery little at others, I feel I have walked alongside so many onderful people brought together, changed and having grown through earing Joni' music which, even though some songs are over 40 years ld, also continue to expand and grow. It doesn't matter to me that oni doesn't declare her presence, contribute or say much these days. or me, it maintains the mystique and the possibility of making our wn individual minds up about her music. It also helps maintain iscussion. You are right in that her words are timeless andI guess what I'm rying to say is, from where I sit, that what you want, ongoing onsciousness, is already here. I have walked beside Joni's music for ver 40 years and I am blessed to still be on the path. ours with love and in peace nita x On 29 August 2010 09:08, ingrid lochrenberg wrote: We can't keep pulling Joni's words apart and conduct our conversations through this means...Rather lets go with Joni's spirit and fly on....!

Facebook is great for sharing hotos, videos and snippets, but I think there's nothing compared to this list or getting to know people better (inasmuch as that's possible without meeting eople - but then again, like you, I have met quite a few in person), and for etting into discussions in greater depth. Sometimes the discussions are about oni but, for those of us not on Joni-only, often they are about all sorts of ifferent things. This list does get quiet from time to time, for various easons, but then perks up again. We may just be going through one of those uiet periods, which isn't surprising, since a lot of people have probably been n vacation and so on. _______________________________ rom: Phyliss Ward o: joni@smoe.org ent: Sun, August 29, 2010 8:35:17 AM ubject: Still reading after all these years Also, I can't imagine this list giving in to the fb monster, which as it's place, but at least in it's present form, cannot possibly replace his special one. - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:17:40 +0200 rom: "ingrid lochrenberg" ubject: Oh!

Hi Ingrid welcome your enthusiasm and energy for what you see as change, but I hink what you seem to want from JMDL is already here, and, you know, here may be more! One of the great gifts for me as part part of JMDL has been e-visiting old published songs from my youth that I feel I know nside out, only to find new insights and understandings from folk who hare their perspectives on the list. In that way, the 'ongoing onsciousness' you describe so eloquently has always been part of what as always been here on JMDL. 'Alchemical secrets' have been shared as as the magical synchronicity so many have had in relation to Joni's ongs and events in their lives. There have been lots of discussions about what might have been going n for Joni in her life when she wrote all kinds of songs and we have ot been immune from fantasy and gossip,too! All human life is here. For the years I have been part of JMDL, putting in a lot sometimes and ery little at others, I feel I have walked alongside so many onderful people brought together, changed and having grown through earing Joni' music which, even though some songs are over 40 years ld, also continue to expand and grow. It doesn't matter to me that oni doesn't declare her presence, contribute or say much these days. or me, it maintains the mystique and the possibility of making our wn individual minds up about her music. It also helps maintain iscussion. You are right in that her words are timeless andI guess what I'm rying to say is, from where I sit, that what you want, ongoing onsciousness, is already here. I have walked beside Joni's music for ver 40 years and I am blessed to still be on the path. ours with love and in peace nita x On 29 August 2010 09:08, ingrid lochrenberg wrote: We can't keep pulling Joni's words apart and conduct our conversations through this means...Rather lets go with Joni's spirit and fly on....! Gee man, Joni's music is part of the cosmos now, but her spirit is expanding and we can't stay confined to some past constructs, meaning her published songs...Yea: they will be illuminating forever as we meditate on them, surely, but Joni would want us to proceed with thoughts....I'm sure this is true? Joni, where are you?! Well, certainly your mind is still pulsating and pumping new ideas (someone called ideas 'noens' or something like that - just thought about it) out . Since Joni isn't ever speaking up or declaring her presence, let's try and talk for her...the way we understand her...from our private way of relating intuitively to her, inside,...let's not fix her as if she is words written just on the outside of a stone! there's the light from all the stars shining down, and the alchemical secrets inside...the words are timeless but time has proceeded so let's celebrate ongoing conscioussness.Why don't we rather speakj about the words and then fantasize about how joni's thoughts have developed as from that point of writing, in the past somewhere...we could imagine where she might be at now. Why not? Geepers, she wrote woodstock, and in that time and creation move....they move along....let's walk beside her!

Although I mostly lurk, I still read when I have time, treasure it, nd the wonderful people I've met "here", and in person. I've learned so uch. Not to mention that through this list in one way or another, I was ble to meet Joni in person on 3 occasions. I agree, more happens when oni is "doing something". I hate to believe that has ended with her llness. Also, I can't imagine this list giving in to the fb monster, which as it's place, but at least in it's present form, cannot possibly replace his special one. - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 09:35:28 -0700 (PDT) rom: Bob Muller ubject: David Gizara's Joni Mitchell Summer Solstice radio show 2010 Pt 1 Howdy gang, David Gizara, as some of you may recall, does a wonderful Joni jazz summer olstice radio show each year on Eugene, OR's NPR affilliate KLCC.

Facebook is great for sharing hotos, videos and snippets, but I think there's nothing compared to this list or getting to know people better (inasmuch as that's possible without meeting eople - but then again, like you, I have met quite a few in person), and for etting into discussions in greater depth. Sometimes the discussions are about oni but, for those of us not on Joni-only, often they are about all sorts of ifferent things. This list does get quiet from time to time, for various easons, but then perks up again. We may just be going through one of those uiet periods, which isn't surprising, since a lot of people have probably been n vacation and so on. _______________________________ rom: Phyliss Ward o: joni@smoe.org ent: Sun, August 29, 2010 8:35:17 AM ubject: Still reading after all these years Also, I can't imagine this list giving in to the fb monster, which as it's place, but at least in it's present form, cannot possibly replace his special one. - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:17:40 +0200 rom: "ingrid lochrenberg" ubject: Oh!
