Love it! I was there back then, in the earlier JMDL days, but don't remember, or never knew, all the details and how you all interacted that eventually led to the Joni/Kilauren reunion. Your story puts the pieces together. You sure should feel like a big part of it.........wow! Because you are. And "astounding" (your choice of words) is exactly what it is. It's as if you were "used' by the powers above to be in a position to begin the process of bringing Joni and Kilauren together. And thank the heavens for the website and the JMDL and it's 'Masters', as well! The whole combination of this technology that brought these two together. You told Mags that you "have a problem taking credit for hitting a forward button". Here's my little story to add to show how something that may appear not very meaningful... is. In the "old days" I was completely computer illiterate. My husband brought a computer in the house and I was not friendly toward it. It seemed like just another way to waste time. I watched and listened, somewhat annoyed, while my husband was so excited about it and his perceived impact it would have on the future....but I couldn't feel the same excitement....I didn't really 'get it'. Then one day he said "I have a surprise for you....." he showed me the Joni website he had found (and he's NOT a fan) and told me he had signed-me up for a discussion list. When I saw that website I was amazed! Well......he couldn't keep me off the computer after that (and now have my own computer).......between Joni and, eventually finding a website & discussion list for coupons (LOL), I was hooked. It was the beginning of understanding the impact of the internet and the joy of the 'search' button!! And 'till this day I always credit my husband for taking the time and finding the Website and bringing me here!! Everyday I click-on the Website and see the words: JoniMitchell.com I can still remember that first excitement.....because I'm still excited about it! *...* /If you think you/ are too /small/ to make a difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a /mosquito/. I've seen this as someone's signature. I can't remember if it's someone from the JMDL (?) or not. Anyways......thank you, Sue!!

I wish I hadn't known anything about it as the surprises were not as um surprising ;-). And with that said, I think it is an important movie for lots of reasons. I loved the kids and I think Mark Ruffalo was absolutely spot on wonderful. It was nice to see Annette Bening as she is aging naturally (so it appears anyway). The moment when the album Blue was discovered in the box of records was wonderful...and then the sweet a capella at the dinner table, and that court and spark of recognition ... wonderful! I don't want to say too much more about content for those of you who have not had a chance to see it. Emotionally charged, and as I said, dealt with lots of important issues. I loved the ending, and all the spaces, in between ;-) oh, I don't know, I wish I had the ability to lay down the words in a proper review like so many of you have. This little film has given me so much to think about, that's for certain. Perhaps I will get into it a bit more, once I've had the separation of time. Moving and highly recommended.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially as in a silly way I now almost feel responsible for this film, having recently recommended it so heavily on the list... I was so lucky, I saw the film in the best possible circumstances: not expecting anything (there was simply nothing better on at the cinema and I had promised my son we'd go and see a film together), only knowing the bare minimum about the plot and totally unaware of the Joni connection. It was one of the best treats I could have had!

I mean, the press loves that stuff. You wouldn't see them run with, "Joni Mitchell comes up with song at Canada home" but personal stuff like that? I'm very, very surprised. - -M ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2010 21:52:29 +0000 (GMT) From: Lieve Reckers Subject: For Emma, Forever Ago (NJC) I was just browsing through Amazon's latest CD offers, when I was struck by this CD title (which I couldn't resist putting into the heading of this message) and its beautiful black-and-white photo cover. The worst possible reasons for buying a CD, of course. Or if not the very worst, certainly pretty shallow. But I read on, and found that this CD by Bon Iver (name chosen by someone called Justin Vernon), only recently released in the UK but already out for over a year in the US, had been getting very good reviews. (The PR story is that this guy locked himself away one winter in his dad's hunting cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, and emerged with this album.) From the samples that I could listen to for free, it sounds pretty good, but I would like some more advice from those of you, probably in the US, who have heard more. In return for getting some advice on this American musician, I can offer some music from over here in the UK which I think is worth getting to know. The singer is Rumer, and her debut album, only just releaased, is called Seasons of my Soul. She's an Anglo-Pakistani singer-songwriter with definite echoes of Karen Carpenter in her voice, but I've read reviews that also quote Laura Nyro and Carole King as comparators, and AMG mentions that she is heavily influenced by Burt Bacharach. Her 70s influence is also apparent in the number "Aretha", which has been released as a single. Most importantly of all, she is really talented and seems to have a voice of her own. You can listen to some samples via these links: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasons-My-Soul-Rumer/dp/B003YM5X1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1291498176&sr=1-1 http://www.allmusic.com/album/seasons-of-the-soul-r1961786 Anybody looking for some stocking fillers or just some comfort treats for yourself? Maybe these 2 CDs can be the answer! Lieve in London ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2010 15:24:39 -0800 (PST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: For Emma, Forever Ago (NJC) Oh, I do like Bon Iver. His music is very soulful and melancholy. Some might find it boring, but I find it contemplative. I've also heard a song or two by Rumer. In fact, it was over on Facebook that it was mentioned by "Girls like us - the music" (I'm not sure if that belongs to Sheila Weller, who wrote the book "Girls like us," or not, but Sheila is active on that site and it's a companion to the book.) I did really enjoy "Aretha." I like your taste in music, Lieve - imagine that! - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Lieve Reckers > To: jonilist JMDL > Sent: Sat, December 4, 2010 4:52:29 PM > Subject: For Emma, Forever Ago (NJC) > > I was just browsing through Amazon's latest CD offers, when I was struck by >this > > CD title (which I couldn't resist putting into the heading of this message) >and > > its beautiful black-and-white photo cover. > The worst possible reasons for buying a CD, of course.
