L O V E is a unique anthology of 7 short vignettes on the subject of love, all of them written, directed and produced by women. The authors are internationally renowned in the worlds of music, literature, film, acting and journalism: Nancy Dowd, Penelope Gilliatt, Gael Greene, Joni Mitchell, Edna O'Brien, Liv Ullmann and Mai Zetterling. - - - - - Joni's contribution was ... THE BLACK CAT WITH THE BLACK MOUSE SOCKS Screenplay by JONI MITCHELL Directed by MAl ZETTERLING Paula/Our Man - Joni Mitchell John/Father Time - Winston Rekert Synopsis Joni Mitchell stars in her own screenplay as Paula, a strong and talented young woman who dresses up as a black man and confronts her former lover (Winston Rekert) at a Halloween costume ball. The story, "a swirling phantasmagoria of music and images" is about love, rejection and fantasy. Being a musician, Ms. Mitchell began with the soundtrack (which includes excerpts of Miles Davis and Devo music) and she was insistent that each gesture in the film be articulated with the beat, particularly in key scenes where there is no dialogue. She says, "Musicians are always annoyed at that, that music is always an afterthought after the fact, but that's not the way I work. My vision of the relationship between the soundtrack and the visuals is very precise". In "THE BLACK CAT WITH THE BLACK MOUSE SOCKS", Paula fools everyone with her astonishing act as the long, cool Black man. During the costume ball she is led into a seductive fantasy vision of love--where her former lover is transformed into The Handsome Prince and she becomes The Beautiful Lady. - - - - - A short segment of Joni's song 'Love' from WILD THINGS RUN FAST was used at the beginning of the film. A longer segment at the end, during the closing credits. Here's how Karen O'Brien described the song and film in her (so-called) 'Definitive' Biography. (pg.207) The other song was 'Love', which she had written for a short-film series commissioned by producer Barry Levinson, in 1980. He had asked several women to write and produce a work on the theme of love. Simone de Beauvoir, Rebecca West, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Gloria Steinhem all turned him down but those who agreed included director Mai Zetterling; writers Edna O'Brien and Antonia Fraser; the actor Liv Ullmann and the academic and social commentator Germaine Greer. Joni had initially been asked to do the music for the films but instead she asked to write a screenplay and star in it  sher revived her Black alter-ego, Art Nouveau, and Zetterling directed the film, a fantasy about a rejected lover who meets an old flame at a costume party. Art/Joni carried around a hugh portable cassette player, blasting out favourite Miles Davis songs. The song 'Love' was was inspired by Liv Ullmann's film about an elderly man tending to his bedridden wife; at the end of the film he reads the Biblical passage from St. Paul to the Corinthians 1:13, "Although I speak with the tongues of men and of angels ..." Joni found the ubiquitous Gideon's Bible in a hotel room and began adapting the verses. She eliminated some of the more archaic phrases and imagery and added another verse of her own  the last, which concludes that, of faith, hope and love, "Love's the greatest beauty". It would be the final track, an eloquent and definitive statement of the meaning of love. - - - - - Never heard the original version of 'Love' ??

This is SO cool Simon. I love this stuff. What a cool version! I just crave this kind of thing especially when it is a song I love to hear and also play. I like to see where songs came from and study the process. I really enjoyed the Swinging Pig releases of all the Beatles stuff before the Anthology series came out and then enjoyed that just as much. So cool to be able to be a part of the process. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love a conversation with him on dance, on classical music, on painting, on literature - he is no dilettante, he is much much more of a person of all letters than remotely suggested. and on a nonKeith subject, let me give you my own recipe for the best, healthiest cranberry relish ever: 12 ounces of fresh or frozen cranberries put in one cup of boiling water add 5-6 packages of stevia to taste (not sugar! a natural sweetener found in any health store) add two-four mandarin oranges (peeled, add the slices) add 5-6 strawberries, perhaps a few peach slices sometimes I toss in a few tablespoons of my all natural non sweetened applesauce continue boiling for about 5 minutes, until the cranberries have popped cool on the counter in a glass container refrigerate for 24 hours (no less) no replies needed, except off-list ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 12:50:30 -0500 From: simon@icu.com Subject: Mon Pays, Mes Chansons RE: a recent message to the JMDL > From: Les Irvin > Subject: Mon Pays, Mes Chansons > > If you've not seen the five videos from the 1966 "Mon Pays, Mes Chansons" Television Series, you are in for a treat. > Check them out here: http://jonimitchell.com/library/videolib.cfm No criticism intended, But ... I thought it unfortunate that these 'Videos' were extracted without making the -2- Complete Programs available to JMDL members. Having said that, with the exception of Gordon Lightfoot, I'm not sure how much interest most members will have in repeated viewings of these French-Language broadcasts. In any event ... As I pointed out in "A Chronology Of Appearances" Joni recorded -6- songs on Aug. 17, 1966 for a TV Series on which she was scheduled to appear. These studio recordings were then used as the background music for Lip-Synced 'Live' performances. The series was titled "Mon Pays, Mes Chansons" (ie: My Country, My Songs). For the Canadian Centennial year, the CBC produced a series of thirteen half-hour programs of folk music, filmed in colour in and around Calgary, Newfoundland, Lake Louise, Halifax, Victoria, Toronto, Vancouver, Niagara Falls, Montreal, and Quebec. The stars were filmed singing on location, and they included Jean-Pierre Ferland, Joni Mitchell, the Travellers, Claude Leveillee, Sheila Graham, George Walker, Catherine McKinnon, Gordon Lightfoot, Christine Charbonneau, Pauline Julien, Bonnie Dobson, and Tom Kines. The half-hour series was broadcast on Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. from Nov. 3, 1966 to Feb. 8, 1967. It was rebroadcast for another run on Fridays at 5:30 p.m. from July 4, 1969 to 26 Sept. 26, 1969. Joni's performances were included in the following -2- episodes. "Au Pied Des Rocheuses" (ie: At The Foot Of The Rockies) Broadcast on Nov. 13, 1966 1. The Circle Game 2. Urge For Going 3. Come To The Sunshine 4. Born To Take The Highway And "A Travers Le Canada" (ie: Travels Across Canada) Broadcast on Feb. 9, 1967 1.

Susan, for reasons I won't go into here, I was involved elsewhere and wasn't able to record, download, or save this concert. as you pointed out, once the initial viewing period was over, the program was removed from the "Nissan Live Sets" Yahoo! Music WebSite and is no longer available. but, all is not lost. later that year (2008) Verve Records released the retrospective "THEN AND NOW: THE DEFINITIVE HERBIE HANCOCK" the U.S. version contained two (audio) Bonus Tracks. RIVER from the Yahoo! Concert along with Herbie's own MAIDEN VOYAGE. HOWEVER ... the Korean and Japanese version not only contained RIVER as an audio Bonus Track, they both contained a Bonus DVD! with the following performances. 1. CANTALOUPE ISLAND - Herbie Hancock 2. RIVER - Herbie Hancock, featuring Joni Mitchell 3. HANA - Herbie Hancock, featuring Joni Mitchell and Sonya Kitchell.

It was long thought lost, and has been reconstructed from something like 3000 pieces! (For anybody in the UK who may want to catch up too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00w009s/Bird_on_a_Wire/ ) Anyway, this made me google a few Cohen-related matters, and that is how I stumbled across a site called "HeckofaGuy", which seems a mix of a tribute to this guy's sadly deceased wife, and a very comprehensive Leonard Cohen info site. That is where I found one section totally devoted to the short-lived romance between Joni and Cohen. There are quotes from various interviews and books, and is quite detailed. Maybe it should go in the Joni Mitchell.com library? I'll leave that for Les to decide.
