Nice, Catherine!  Many thanks.
Does anyone else see a bit of our Jenny
Goodspeed in Sarah's face?  I still 
prefer Jenny's face and voice, but anyway
great to see Sarah using this occasion 
to bring Joni's music to the masses. 
At least I assume it is the masses.  Would 
anyone care to explain what the
Juno awards are all about?
Lieve

Lieve,

The Junos are the Canadian equivalent of the American Grammy awards - an annual 
event giving awards for Best Album, Best New Artist, etc. Like the BAFTAs are 
the equal of American Oscars.

As far as I know they DO NOT give an award for Best Joni Cover. Pity.

excellent little video there, Catherine, nice find. I didnt see much of the Junos as there was a good documentary I was enthralled with. Anyway, I did see the nod to Joni, the black and white image of her, as well, I saw Sarah Harmer's Joni cover...very nice. Sarah is well loved and admired in the musical singer song writer community here. 

Lieve, the Juno awards ceremony have come a long way from its early days..I am glad to see that Canadian musicians are being honoured and the word is spreading all around the world. We are very proud of our vast and wonderful musical talent. 

no, Bob, no Joni covers award..too bad. I could see an entire show dedicated to that...wouldn't that be awesome. And speaking of awesome, I am glad you are able to maintain communications with all of us.

According to this story, Meaghan Smith also performed a stripped-down Version of 
ACOY. Hmmm, I always thought the original was a bit stripped down, eh?

ATLANTA A new musical dreamed up by
rocker John Mellencamp and horror writer
Stephen King will make its world debut in
Atlanta next year.

The Alliance Theater has announced that it
will produce "Ghost Brothers of Darkland
County," what it calls "a riveting Southern
gothic musical."

King's story is based on the real 1957 deaths
of two brothers and a young girl. Mellencamp
is in charge of the "roots and blues-tinged
score."

The Alliance's artistic director Susan V.
Booth will direct and legendary producer T.
Bone Burnett will provide musical direction.

It is scheduled to run from April 4 to May 13,
2012.

Wow, this looks really cool. Seems like I had read something about it 
previously. May just have to head down to Atlanta to catch it and take my sister 
who is a Stephen King FREAK (as in every first edition, a couple of signed 
copies, all the Bachman and collaborations with Clive Barker, etc).

King is great. He wrote a letter to the Governor of Maine stating that he felt 
he wasn't paying his fair share of taxes and was willing to pay a considerably 
higher amount to help his state.

Unfortunately, very few King novels have transformed to good films. The Stand 
miniseries is one that stands out as an exception.

Delurking to chime in on this...

I would add The Shawshank Redemption to another of King's books (novella's)
that have been adapted well to film.  Also Stand By Me and Misery - helped
largely by Kathy Bates' performance.  It's difficult to adapt any novel to
film, simply due to the amount of story which doesn't have any "visual"
component (eg. thought processes, etc.) but it can be done.

Stephen King has said many times how disappointed he was with The Shining,
both with the way the plot was developed in the film and the choice of Jack
Nicholson as the main character.  He had just done One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest, as was already seen in people's minds as a "mad man".  The
whole concept of The Shining was that the hotel was possessed, not the man,
but that was lost in using Nicholson.

I'm a huge SK fan as well - The Stand (the unabridged version) rates as one
of my all-time favourite books.  It will be interesting to see how he
manages this genre.

Maybe this was at one of the events during the week before.  It wasn't on the 
televised Junos show.  Now we're going to have to see if we can track this 
sucker down and find out if somebody who was there taped it!

I haven't read the book so I don't know how it ranks as an adaptation, but I 
thought 'Dolores Claiborne' was a good movie.  Another great Kathy Bates 
performance.
