Thank you so much for your encouragement about my funky posts. Would you believe it, yahoo played an even worse trick on me than this format thing: digest 286 was not delivered at all! Luckily there is still the website http://www.smoe.org/lists/joni/ where we can always catch up on digests, and that is how I found your message. As you have received several replies from people who prefer the single messages, I will just say something in favour of the digests. (Not that I think that they are always better, it really depends on your personal setup.) Well... I guess it's obvious: you only get 1, or maximum 2 JMDL messages per day coming into your inbox, and they are easy to identify. I really wouldn't want to have that many individual messages coming in, unless I could organise them like Paz, that they all come into a separate folder. I really must look into that. So, just in case you choose digest, I would say you need to get used to it for a while, how to read them: to recognise the new messages, and what may be the old ones that people are responding to, right below. It also means you keep jumping from one subject to another when you read the digest, but I quite like it that way. And when you want to send a reply from digest, like I am doing now, you need to send a new message, you cannot press "reply", because then you get a repeat of the whole digest which is very annoying, but which has been happening a lot recently. If you want to show the message you are replying to below your post (as I am doing here), then you need to copy and paste that message yourself, plus decide if you want to add the name of the person you are replying to in the address line. (They will receive the message in any case, but if they are on digest it has the benefit of getting your personal reply as a separate message.) I'm probably not saying much new here, but anyway this is life on the digest side! Looking forward to all your further posts now that you are properly "one of us"!

First off, belated happy birthday Bob, hope you had a good one. And to my most adorable sweetheart in the UK, it doesn't matter how funky your posts' are formated, they're a treasure to read. Now, back to my curiousity -- I see when someone posts, usually the post they are replying to is generally repeated in their post and it is noted in the subject line. Is this done by the poster themselves via cut and paste or how does that work?

And with the new JDML eMail folder thanks to Paz's suggestion, my inbox is clear of clutter. Now mind you if I miss a few days of checking eMail, I reserve the right to change my mind and go back to digest. Life is an ongoing experiment.

Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:56:12 -0700 From: Subject: CSN, IHAK, Fests, etc. I'm catching up here. Thanks, Paul, for the heads up on the new CSN! That sounds great to me! The past few weeks I have been laboriously transferring my 100s of CDs and records to iPod (ugh) - I'm almost there but still on the road with it for awhile. The good part is revisting many somewhat forgotten discs, including many CSN, Byrds and derivatives. And geez, Buffalo Springfield is even reuniting at Neil Young's Bridge School benefit in NorCal at end of October. I hope I can be there. I also came across some old tapes of live music at a couple of mini Jonifests at my place in 1999 and 2001. Mark in Seattle recently posted about our '99 Van Gogh exhibit get together. I had rose-colored memories of the music at that gathering but found we were actually doing Kareoke to most of the Joni tunes that night! Still, Mark, you had the best voice! I will listen to it some more to see if I should transfer to CD. The other tape, which was titled "Jam After NAMM" from January 2001 has some real live music and even better (and funny) sidebar conversations recorded during the night ;-) We had good guitars, mics and Phyliss even brought a real amp for that one. I am making it a project to copy CDs for all who were there that night, just for nostalgic, archival purposes and to amuse us in our old age LOL. On that tape I also found a recording of Clark and me performing IHAK! I remember wishing I could have Clark on call whenever I wanted to sing - - our voices melded well and he is an outstanding player and vocalist. So now I read that IHAK is supposed to be in some difficult tuning! I'll have to stick with the modified first songbook chart. The few times I tried to retune in "Joni" all my guitar strings immediately broke and started flying off around the room. Sue, all the best with your upcoming Joni tribute concert! Wish I could be there. Happy birthday Bob! Thanks for so generously providing us with the amazing and often rare array of Joni covers all these years. What a collection! I need another iPod just for those! Now that I am coming into the new century technology, you will not need to send me the hard copies anymore. I hope tthat will lighten your load a bit and hope I can in some small way repay you for all your efforts at some point. Thanks to Anita and Lieve for sharing the U.K. Dave and Robyn concerts with us. I can imagine how stunning it must have been. Take care all, Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:52:47 -0700 From: Subject: Re: The List Amazing!

As I've mentioned before, 2010 has been just crazy with full-length Joni tribute CD's, and I just stumbled on another one that came out this week. Irma Schultz Keller, who was instrumental in the 1996 (and recently re-released) "A Bird That Whistles" Joni CD has come out with a Swedish-language Joni tribute CD titled "Blank Is sanger av Joni Mitchell". There are a couple of videos on YouTube that are terrific (A Case of You & Rainy Night House) and you can also hear "Lille Gron" (Little Green) on her Myspace page. I have to try and figure out which Joni songs she's doing here, and Scandinavian linguists please feel free to pitch in.

I've actually been googling like mad and had all of them figured out except for Cactus Tree ("Lotteri"). I love that People's Parties is "Folks Fester". I thought that one was going to be "Woodstock" based on the name. Now I have to figure out how to get a copy of it.

This is what I wrote about the singing and performing when Travis & I arrived back in Seattle after the Van Gogh mini-fest: Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 19:55:57 -0800 From: Mark-n-Travis Subject: MEMBERS OF LOST TRIBE OF MITCHELLJONIA FOUND IN LA HIGH RISE (snip) And when Paz got out the guitar and the VG8 and the singing began - what a revelation! Everybody knew the words and it was like finding your long lost tribe! Paz played 'Love Puts on a New Face' and a beautiful rendition of 'Amelia' and many, many more. Steve Dulson nimbly picked out some tunes on his dulcimer and had a lot of fun noodling with the VG8. Paz also played keyboards and we were able to do 'Court & Spark' not to mention 'Me & Bobby McGee' (a la Janis Joplin) and a wonderfully harmonious 'Teach Your Children'. And somebody couldn't resist sneaking a little bit of Grace Slick into the CSN version of 'Wooden Ships' that the others were doing and I'm sure it sounded really odd (particularly sung by a baritone). We also did some 'For the Roses' karaoke. But the big surprise of the evening was Clark. A competent guitarist himself he favored us with three quite beautiful & moving songs that he had written himself. Clark is a very intense and talented man and it was great to get to meet him. (snip) Kakki, I vaguely remember you holding the microphone up to me very briefly during the karaoke. Having never sung with one and always feeling intimidated by any kind of instrumental accompaniment, I always think I sound horrible. I'm sure you're much too kind. Is anybody still in touch with Clark these days?

I'm so glad you found your account of that night. Thank you! My memories were not so foggy afterall and there must be some gems on the tape other than Joni Kareoke! I'll process this other "vault item" to CD and send to you ;-) Trust me, you have a great voice! Although I don't think Clark is on the list anymore, happily we are still in touch! He is great - still very handsome and multi-talented and, impossibly, looks younger than he did back then. He joined a bunch of us at the Joni ballet this year and I also saw him a few months ago at a party. Not sure if he is still recordindg his music but he is writing novels and screenplays these days, among other creative ventures. Sigh, maybe we can all do another encore mini-fest together again someday. Maybe Joni or something else will give us an excuse ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2010 #288 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
