Great to hear from you again. That is a beautiful ukeuele adaptation and setting for the song! Especially apropos for us experiencing the arctic chill all up and down the west coast these days. Torrential rain and snow occasionally punctuated by sunny but starkly dramatic weather days. I loved your rendition. Thanks for sharing with us.

The lines are rather clunky, obviously stretched to match the melody they cover. But in line with the message of these lyrics, the technical imperfections are not as important as the intention they carry. The Rolliflex image is clever and striking, even if the words in translation are a bit awkward. And I do love these lines which flow very well: You insist my music goes against the rules Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools Sigh, Lieve - ----- Original Message ---- From: "kbhla@fastmail.fm" To: Jim ; JMDL Sent: Tue, 4 January, 2011 2:34:05 Subject: Re: Desafinado trivia (njc) Hi Jim, I don't speak Portuguese but have wanted to learn for over 30 years and always have my eye on the course at UCLA Extension since then! Maybe now that I have more time, I can go. It is such a beautiful language. You are pretty good picking out the Rollieflex reference. Here are the English lyrics. What a beautiful song. Kakki If you say my singing is off key, my love You would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love ? I wish I had an ear like yours, A voice that would behave All I have is feeling And the voice God gave You insist my music goes against the rules Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools I wrote this song for you But you don't care It's a crooked song, ah, But my heart is there The thing that you would see if you would play the part Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart I took your picture with my trusty Rolliflex And now all I have developed is complex Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of A life of love and music with someone who'll understand That even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to say How much I love you And all that matters is the message that I bring, Which is: my dear one, I love you ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim To: kbhla@fastmail.fm ; JMDL Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 6:08 PM Subject: Re: Desafinado trivia (njc) I truly enjoyed your post. I had read about the Jon Hendricks connection but left it out on purpose, though I didn't know why. I guess I wanted to leave some space for others. Thanks for contributing. Do you speak Portuguese? In the Portuguese parts of the Stan Getz version of Desafinado, I think I hear the words New York, Norman Granz, photographed, and "Rollieflex". That song has been rattling around in my head for a week.

Performance Series at Millennium Place: A Tribute to Joni Mitchell b January 25 In 2008, singer/songwriter Mia Sheard launched whatbs become the annual Joni Mitchell night at Torontobs Hughbs Room. Mia rounded up some of her favourite singers and musicians to perform. The show sold out very quickly, indicating that there are many people pining to hear Jonibs music performed live. They donbt get that opportunity often, as the music is not easy to play, and, therefore is not often performed by other artists. Tickets will be available soon through the Millennium Place Box Office by calling 604-935-8410. www.artswhistler.com Bob NP: Cornelius, "Smoke" - ------------------------------------------------------------ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.

One is in Whistler, BC on Jan 25: http://www.artswhistler.com/resources/visual-art-award-of-excellence/events-a-programs/event-calendar/view/1330/date/2011-01-25 Allayouse on the west coast can see that one The other is in Toronto at Hugh's Room on March 5: http://hughsroom.com For those of us in the east-ish. This got me wondering whether the show would also run elsewhere, so I googled it and whaddya know? They're presenting the show in various locations in BC, Alberta and Ontario. Check this out. You can listen to some of the performances here. This may have been mentioned by someone else earlier, but if so, I wasn't paying attention: http://www.myspace.com/jonitribute - ----- Original Message ---- > From: "Bob.Muller@Fluor.com" > To: joni@smoe.org > Sent: Tue, January 4, 2011 8:23:00 AM > Subject: Torontonians - mark your calendars for this too > > The last one was posted to the web and (for the most part) was really > great! > > Performance Series at Millennium Place: A Tribute to Joni Mitchell b > January 25 > In 2008, singer/songwriter Mia Sheard launched whatbs become the annual > Joni Mitchell night at Torontobs Hughbs Room.

You pretty much eat up my entire evening pouring over these archives, with a brief pause for dinner and watched the People's Diva's New Years Show (Soph was divine!). OMG I have had some laughs and a few tears in reading over some of the archives. What a treasure! Thanks again for all you do! One question!!! What the hell happened to Susan L.A. Chaloner?

It has been a huge hit in Australia, London, and Toronto. Both Sides Now was an important song in the show and provided especially poignant moments. Unfortunately, I just read that the song has been cut from the NY production.
