My apologies for being so crabby, which happens from time to time. Just being a little too defensive. Nuff said. oh and btw, for those of you who get tired of bad editing, I suppose I'm one of the worst ones for that, and again, I apologize. Will try to do better. Mags. going back to lurkdom.

By the same token, there's no need to be a total douche because people aren't writing what you want to read about. I remember getting upset when every post was about politics and going Joni-only for a bit, then getting miffed when folks forgot the njc tag. Anyway, bottom line is that Les has created the perfect critter here and is always the total gentleman.

Sue, when I first joined the list back in 98, I just remember you as the guru of all Joni's tabulars. I don't play the guitar, but you were the one that helped the JMDL become what it is today. I briefly met you at one of the NE Jonifests, and was in awe of listening to you sing and play Joni's music. Now that we have spent the past couple of years together, I realize that not only are you so knowledgeable about Joni and her music, but you're a fun beautiful woman to hang around with and I love you so much. This Eric is the beauty of this list. Yes, we do have history, but all are welcome whether it be just about Joni or about anything. We are family!

These links are also handy if you're on digest mode and didn't receive a digest in your email.

I appreciate the fact that they do this from time to time, so kudos to whoever comes up with the questions. Or answers, I guess. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Richard G. > To: joni@smoe.org > Sent: Sat, March 12, 2011 10:24:38 PM > Subject: Joni reference on Jeopardy NJC > > OK, I admit it.

Love, Laura Here's a larger clip: E.C. Most of your ensemble work has been with jazz musicians, those with a great pictorial sense, such as Wayne Shorter, or someone who complemented your vocal phrasing, like Jaco Pastorius, but the Last Waltz movie was reissued recently, and that contains a rare example of you playing with an out-an-out rock 'n' roll band [the Band]. J.M. The Rhino record [Dreamland] is for the most part really a kind of a rock 'n' roll record. I was surprised when we got it all together. I went, Whoa, you know, there's more Chuck Berry on this one than I realized. E.C. And where is that coming from? J.M. It's mostly just me playing. Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal. E.C. It also swings. J.M. And it's got to in real rock 'n' roll. E.C. This is my big argument. I wonbt even have the word 'rock" attached to me. It just lies there gray and inert. J.M. You know, Neil Young is singing "Rock n' roll will never die" and Neil never rocked and rolled in his life. I mean, he rocked, but he didn't roll. He has got no swing in him. E.C. It's a square heat, but it's a good beat. J.M. It's a good square beat. It's the ' Prairie Lope." [E.C. laughs.] Joni rolls into an approving riff about the African roots of swing in American popular music J.M. All 'Whitey" knows is funeral and war marches. And the polka. That's about as gay as "he" gets - . . and the waltz. E.C. Don't slander the waltz now! J.M. I love waltzes! That [most recent] song is a waltz. Go figure-what am I going to do with it? E.C. Write 11 more. ________________________________ From: Mark To: Susan Tierney McNamara ; Catherine McKay ; ava rosenblum ; joni@smoe.org Sent: Sun, March 13, 2011 12:40:48 PM Subject: Re: Joni on Neil I agree, Sue. This is what Joni was making reference to, if I remember right. I've been trying to find the specific interview since Laura hasn't told us which one it is, but haven't been able to locate it yet.

I don't think Joni was dissing Neil so much as dissing people who get their rock mixed up with their rock and roll. She is a purest when it comes to the real thing ... i.e., chuck berry etc. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2011 #78 **************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
