Recorded at home, she started singing about 'depressing things and the names of Canadian towns'. She said 30 Rock did not licence a real Joni song because it would have cost a small fortune. In the May 26 Rolling Stone article "The 70 Greatest Dylan Songs", Cameron Crowe writes that "Blood On The Tracks" "is his Blue- his confessional album about relationships". Regardless of how Joni would feel about that, it's interesting that "Blue" is so iconic that Joni's name is not even mentioned. (So how 'bout a "70 Greatest Mitchell Songs" feature, RS?).

Late last year her estate approached long time music journalist and PR man, Mick Houghton with the idea: publishers, Faber & Faber commissioned the project and now it's underway - due for publication late 2013/early 2014. Mick is eminently suited to the task. Whilst he's taken care of the PR for many of the big names in the UK's music scene through the 80s, Sandy fans will be more impressed by his current roster of boyhood folk music heroes: Richard Thompson, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and Shirley Collins. The past couple of years saw him researching and writing *Becoming Elektra*, his book about his all time favourite record label, Elektra Records and its founder Jac Holzman, that was published last October  while Mick was already busy organising the PR for the Sandy Boxset and also providing all the interviews for the hardback book that accompanied the 19 CDs. >> I also hear that a reprint of Clinton Heylin's biography "No More Sad Refrains - The Life and Times of Sandy Denny" is due to be published on June 6 2011. I read this when it was originally published in 2002 but personally found it a pretty depressing read.

I never claimed that Twitter is "cool". As with the idea of having your own website, blog or such, it totally depends on the reason why you would want to use it. Not everyone needs a website, not everyone needs a blog. Twitter can be useful but it doesn't make sense if you don't have anything you urgently need the world to know. It can also be downright stupid if you tweet about your awesome holiday on some fancy island if you don't have anyone to keep an eye on your deserted home. I personally use Twitter to announce blog postings for my Hill Force One blog at http://hillforceone.blogspot.com and that totally makes sense. I also have a Twitter account for "myself" but so far have not found any use for it other than also announcing blog posts. Maybe that is mostly because I am accessing the Internet from my home office and am not "on the road" all the time and using a smartphone. Overall, I don't mind Twitter, as I can simply ignore it most of the time. It's not necessary to check. Facebook is a different story. I find it increasingly annoying as people who used to write to me in personal mails now just post their "updates" on Facebook and no longer bother to let me know. And I feel there is too much noise and not enough substance that I want to read all those "messages" there all the time. moni k. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 12:37:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Twitter on Joni.com NJC I'm a dinosaur too. Triceratops! Called it! I've had a look around twitter and even created an account, but I never post to it. I've found it has come in handy once or twice when something is happening locally but hasn't been picked up by official news media yet. Sometimes you get "news" that way via Twitter. (In the case I'm talking about, I saw a lot of smoke coming from somewhere to the southwest of where I lived that was obviously something big, checked news sites and saw nothing, then checked twitter and people who were in that area identified what it was.) As far as finding out about Joni.... naaaah, don't get it. Twitter would not be my first source of info for things Joni. Every so often I get requests from people to "follow" me on Twitter. Most of these are from local businesses wanting to sell me crap. One was from a sketchy-sounding "dating" agency (y'know, hot Russian babes, that kind of thing.) I even got a request from someone wanting to send me daily Joni quotes, so I wonder if that person is one of us? Interestingly, my twitter name isn't the same as my jonilist name, so how did that happen? In any case, I haven't allowed anyone to "follow" me on Twitter. It would be pointless, as I've never once posted there and am unlikely to. Despite having been to a short "Twitter seminar" for use at work, I'm still not totally appreciating the point of it, but I do follow a few news sources, although rarely do I even log on there. Just keeping it for now in case a future use comes up, like maybe I want to promote myself as a "hot Russian babe" or something like that. - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Anita > To: Susan Tierney McNamara > Cc: Moni Kellermann ; jonipeople LIST > Sent: Wed, May 18, 2011 2:57:47 PM > Subject: Re: Twitter on Joni.com NJC > > I see I talked about the wrong site,sorry.However,dear Moni,can you let me in >on what is cool about it?This is a genuine question.Is it one of those things >that once you do it,you get it and enjoy it?It seems so inane from the >outside,but then who am I to judge,as an American Idol viewer?

Ironic timing for me, as I'm currently battling hives of unknown origin. Driving me, um, crazy. (Health.com) -- For years, dermatologists have been aware of -- and baffled by - -- people who feel a constant creepy-crawly sensation beneath their skin, which they believe is due to bugs, worms, or eggs below the surface. Now, in the largest study to date to examine skin samples from patients with these symptoms, doctors have firm proof that these infestations -- known as delusional parasitosis or delusional infestation -- are not real. The researchers acknowledge, however, that the findings may not be enough convince many of these patients. Patients often feel dismissed when doctors reassure them that the infestation is all in their head, and many continue to believe they are teeming with bugs even when skin biopsies come back negative. "It's almost impossible to get them to shake this belief, no matter how much evidence you produce to the contrary," says Mark D. P. Davis, M.D., a professor of dermatology at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota. Antipsychotic drugs are the standard treatment for delusional infestation. But, Davis says, "A lot of patients with this disorder don't want to take these drugs because they don't feel they have a delusional disorder." Some patients who experience this skin-crawling sensation believe it is caused by textile-like fibers produced by an unknown organism. Along with a group of sympathetic doctors and advocates, these patients have pushed for the condition to be officially recognized as Morgellons disease, and have lobbied -- successfully -- for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate it. However, most doctors maintain that the condition is psychological rather than physical. In a new study, published this week in the Archives of Dermatology, Davis and his colleagues sought to confirm this view by presenting the results of skin biopsies taken from patients in whom the delusional infestation was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic between 2001 and 2007. The researchers performed 80 biopsies. As expected, none showed evidence of skin infestation, although 49 patients did have some skin inflammation, known as dermatitis. This inflammation might be due to some underlying cause, such as allergies, or it could have been caused by the patient's efforts to remove the bugs or objects by digging them out or even trying to burn them, Davis says. In addition, 80 of the study participants -- including some who also had biopsies taken -- supplied their own skin samples to the doctors. Ten of these specimens contained insects, such as a mite or tick, but only one such bug was actually capable of causing an infestation; it was a pubic louse, but the patient's biopsy did not show any signs that his or her skin was infested with the lice. The CDC recently completed its own study of the condition, which the agency refers to as unexplained dermopathy, but the results have not yet been published. Davis' study "leaves little room for speculation," says Roland Freudenmann, M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Ulm, in Germany. Freudenmann is an authority on delusional infestation but didn't take part in the current study. "It may irritate those who cannot accept the diagnosis of delusional infestation," he says. "But the study shows that delusional infestation exists and that it is the patients who are wrong." Freudenmann adds that he hopes the new findings, as well as the forthcoming CDC report, "bring an end to the 'Morgellons story.'" Jennifer Murase, M.D., a dermatologist and associate clinical professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), says she typically sees a handful of patients with delusional infestation each year. It's important to take the patient's complaints seriously, says Murase, who was not involved in the new research. These people often have an underlying skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis, which could be affecting their nerves in abnormal ways and contributing to the sensation of infestation, she explains. Murase and her colleagues often conduct biopsies in these patients, mostly to reassure the patients rather than to confirm the diagnosis of delusional infestation. The patient chooses the spot where the biopsy is to be taken, and must agree that only one biopsy will be done. The patient also has to agree that if the microscopic examination doesn't find evidence of infestation, "they will be more open-minded and think of other causes for the condition," she says. John Koo, M.D., a dermatologist who works with Murase at UCSF, estimates that roughly one-third of these patients can be easily convinced that the problem is not a real infestation; one-third require more convincing; and another one-third can't be swayed from their conviction. "If you kind of hang in there and stay with them, they can get better," Murase says. "They can actually do quite well."

Did you enjoy the evening ? I can only assume you did. As a former Montrealer, I have always loved the McGarrigles and their music, even when it went out of style. I wish I could have been at that concert in NYC. So lovely to see all these performers and friends come together in Kate's memory.

So the lowdown on the concert: (from someone there who took far better notes than I did). 1. "Kiss and Say Goodbye" with a large ensemble including Rufus, Anna, Martha, Sloan Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Jane McGarrigle, Lily Lanken, Sylvan Lanken, Dane Lanken, Greg Prestopino, others. 2. "Southern Boys" with Rufus on lead vocal accompanied by Martha, Jenni Muldaur, Teddy Thompson. 3. "Come Back Baby" (from "Pronto Monto", with a demo version on the new CD set) by Jenni Muldaur with Teddy Thompson. 4. "I Eat Dinner" with Emmylou and Teddy Thompson. 5. "Over the Hill" by Norah Jones accompanied by Lily (Norah also played guitar). This is apparently the only song that Kate and Loudon wrote together, and there's also an early demo version of this song on the new CD set. 6. "The Work Song" sung by Justin Vivian Bond, with Jane McGarrigle on piano and Anna McGarrigle on accordion. 7. "On My Way to Town": Anna with Lily and Sylvan. 8. "I Don't Know" sung by Krystle Warren, introduced by Anna as an "exciting discovery" whom they met for the first time in London last year. 9. "Come a Long Way" sung by Norah Jones and Krystle Warren. 10. "First Born Son": Rufus and Martha with Anna, Jane, Lily, Sylvan, Dane. 11. "I Cried for Us" sung by Rufus with Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons). 12. "I Am a Diamond", an unreleased and unrecorded song that Kate wrote for a musical she was composing, with Martha singing and playing guitar, backed by Rufus. 13. "Darlin' Kate": Emmylou's tribute song to Kate, sung by Emmylou accompanied by Anna and Lily. Emmylou spoke of how moved she was to have become part of the McGarrigles' circle ("I almost feel Canadian"). She also said "Every song I ever wrote with more than three chords, I wrote with Kate and Anna. But this one I wrote on my own." 14. "Proserpina", the last song Kate wrote, performed by her and family at a holiday show at the Royal Albert Hall Fall 2009, sung by, well, everyone, a huge ensemble, with vocal leads by Martha, Sloan Wainwright, and Rufus. Anna introduced it and told us that Kate had recorded a demo of the song in Garage Band before her one public performance of it (at Albert Hall in December 2009). Though it was a little distorted, they played the beginning of Kate's recording to start off and lead into the ensemble performance. It was a brilliant idea, and also heartbreaking. Intermission. 15. "Tell My Sister" sung by Martha. 16. "As Fast As My Little Feet Can Carry Me" sung by Emmylou and Norah. 17. "Blues in D" sung by Sloan Wainwright with Jane on piano. 18. "Saratoga Summer Song" sung by Teddy Thompson. There's a demo version of this on the new CD set. it is stunningly beautiful. 19. "Swimming Song" performed by Jimmy Fallon (in a surprising comic turn for the show) with a solo on washboard and another on spoons. (this was only the first/Thursday night: he wasn't able to appear Friday/2nd night due to family emergency). 20. "Go Leave" sung by Antony. He has an idiosyncratic delivery to be sure (with Joe Cocker-type mannerisms) but the guy has SUCH a voice. 21. "Entre Lajeunesse et la sagesse": Anna and Rufus, with Emmylou, Martha, Krystle, Lily, Sylvan, Dane, Jane on piano. 22. "Heart Like a Wheel": Emmylou and Anna, with Martha, Krystle, and Lily (Anna also on accordion). 23. Reading from "Anil's Ghost" by Michael Ondaatje, the writer, in which he used a lyric from "Mendocino". 24. "(Talk to Me of) Mendocino" sung by Norah Jones with Martha and Rufus backing. 25. "Travellin' on for Jesus": Chaim singing lead with most of the company backing him (Justin Bond, Norah, Jenni, Teddy, with Dane, Martha, Rufus, Krystle, Sylvan, Lily, Emmylou, Anna, Sloan, Greg Prestopino). 26. Producer Joe Boyd introduced and thanked everyone, with special mention of how much work Rufus did to make it all happen. 27. "Walking Song" by Rufus, accompanying himself on piano. 28. "Kitty Come Home", sung by Anna, backed by Rufus, Martha, Sylvan, Jane, Dane, and Lily. Anna related the story of the song: how she and her mother drove to New York to bring Kate and her children back to Montreal after Kate's final breakup with Loudon. Anna said that she'd never performed the song except for the album on which it appeared, but that Rufus had asked her to do it for this concert, so she was going to tough it out. 29. "Matapedia" sung by Martha, backed by Lily, Jane, and Greg Prestopino. 30. "Dink's Song" (the traditional folk song that they've played at a few venues in the last few years), sung (mostly) by Anna, Chaim, and Martha, with Lily, Sylvan, Rufus, and Dane. 31. "Love Over and Over", by the entire company, closed the show. Standing ovation, lights up. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 00:15:33 +0000 (UTC) From: rflynn@frontiernet.net Subject: Idol NJC wasRe: Twitter on Joni.com NJC So unless I missed it, no one commented about last week's travesty.

I think these things all have their uses and some work better for some people or in certain circumstances. We've had similar discussions about Facebook and whether or not it's worth having. I prefer the emails from friends telling me what they're up to. It's more personal. It would bother me if people I regularly communicate with stopped talking to me and just posted status on Facebook. For people I don't know quite so well, sometimes Facebook gives me a better insight into who they are. That also makes me feel kind of like a stalker, to be honest. You're quite right about ignoring Twitter if you want to. It's a lot easier to ignore than Facebook: once Facebook sucks you in, it's kind of hard to ignore. Still, there are days when I pay very little attention to it and there is a lot of noise and busy-ness that can be very distracting and not very fulfilling. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 19:57:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Twitter on Joni.com NJC Just to demonstrate what a goof I am, I signed into Twitter to check and found that I am following both jonimitchell.com and rosannecash. Maybe I will check in more often, because RC really is very funny, not to mention a pretty good songwriter at that. ;-) - ----- Original Message ---- > From: Richard Flynn > To: Catherine McKay ; Anita >; Susan Tierney McNamara > Cc: Moni Kellermann ; jonipeople LIST > Sent: Wed, May 18, 2011 5:47:38 PM > Subject: RE: Twitter on Joni.com NJC > > If anyone does want to follow the Twitter feed, you can find it at: > http://twitter.com/#!/JoniMitchellcom > > If you do join Twitter, I gotta tell you that @rosannecash is hilarious! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 20:41:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Idol NJC wasRe: Twitter on Joni.com NJC Yeah, I agree with all that. Like I said, I think the country vote will split Lauren and Scotty and Haley will win it. They're all OK and could become pop stars and make "formula music for juveniles". I like James the best and getting kicked off when he did will allow him to keep some rock cred. I didn't even watch last week's show until Sunday because no one commented on it.
