A big front-page article about him today, and the story that he sat on that video for about a week before a slow newsday made him decide to go with it. Ted Williams has a REALLY spotty past. I truly hope he recognizes waht a lucky break he has gotten. Bob NP: Kaki King, "Air and Kilometers" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 04:35:12 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Moon at the Window History is pretty much showing (via other artists interpretations) that "Moon" and "Be Cool" are the two great takeaway songs from that album. I always liked the record a lot because I didn't get Mingus at the time, but was crazy about Shadows and Light and was surprised to hear her return to a more accessible sound. Bob ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 13:15:00 +0000 From: Paul Castle Subject: Joni Mastermind I recently recorded Scottish actress Elaine C Smith's appearance on the BBC quiz show 'Mastermind'. Her specialist subject was "The Life and Music of Joni Mitchell" - just two minutes of quickfire questioning under the spotlight in the famous Mastermind chair in front of a live studio audience and several million viewers - so no pressure then! Thought it would be fun to see how members of the jmdl might get on - so have uploaded her session and replaced her answers with a 2 second still frame. You can download the file - or watch it online - here (*note: if you watch it online and don't have a very fast connection, it would probably be best to click the play button and once the theme song starts immediately click the 'pause' button [bottom left of the player] and go and make a cup of coffee or something to allow the full stream to load up first - so that it doesn't freeze up half way through) Mastermind 1 http://www.screencast.com/t/6RCvmsU0k Hope this works! I'd be interested to know how you get on - remember, you only have one shot at it - and you've got to imagine several million people are watching you on live television! best to all PaulC PS If you don't want to try the quiz - or want to check the answers and see how Elaine got on, I've also uploaded the full session here - Mastermind 2 http://www.screencast.com/t/3NUMPgKfk ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 08:16:34 -0500 From: Blair Fraipont Subject: Joni inspired gallery show tonite in NYC. [SJC] My friend Chris Bogia has just curated a show of art inspired by Joni. He has contributed his "Blue" piece and there are contributions from artists like Jason Villegas, Erik Hanson, John Kelly and others. The opening is tonite at the Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts located at 526 W. 26th Street, #605 NYC. I regret sending this message at the last minute. - -Blair Fraipont http://www.kathleencullenfinearts.com/jonimitchell.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 08:30:17 -0500 From: Gerald Notaro Subject: Re: Joni Mastermind Wow.

It is mechanical, not electronic? So many newer music boxes seem to use digital technology to play the notes, similar to what is used for greeting cards, but it lacks the tonal quality and resonance of the mechanical mechanisms upon which music boxes are based.
